4 DAY BUSHCRAFT TRIP - Making Native American Style Flute, DIY, Tarp Wild Camping in Heavy Rain ASMR

- 4 DAY BUSHCRAFT TRIP - Making Native American Style Flute. This is a 4 day lake trip. The first lake connects to 2 other much bigger lakes via a small stream and short portage. I was out for 6 days, only filmed 4. The weather was warmer and the mosquitoes less of a problem so I chose a 3x3m tarp for my shelter but brought a bug net along. It held off the rain and weather just great. Early on the trip I found a dead, dry branch section on a bush of goat willow ( Salix Caprea ), I was once told that here in Scandinavia it was fairly common to make willow flutes from it. I decided to make a Native American style flute from it, a truly magical instrument. It was a slow and very laborious project but equally fun and fulfilling. As a kid I was shown how to make similar bamboo flutes, a lot easier since you don't have to hollow it out with a gouge. After hollowing both halfs of the wood, I lashed the two halves together with some cord and made some bush glue to secure them together and to make it airtight. The glue dries super fast so you have to work very quickly. Once dry if made well, it creates a very strong bond.
The holes where made with a knife and file about 1 inch apart from eachother give or take. The sound mechanism is very simple and straight forward, 2 chambers and a wooden block that direct the airflow from the first chamber to a splitting sharp edge on the second chamber.
I tuned the flute by ear which is always a gamble but I got it pretty accurate. Back home I found that the flute tuning was in the key of G with the last 2 high notes slightly too sharp. It took me 4 days to make it all by hand because I really took my time and did other things as well, like paddling for hours on end, camp chores, cooking etc.
I also did a lot of painting on this trip, I share 3 of them with you. The first one was tricky, I manage to dock the raft away from my lake shore camp and paint from the raft without wobbling or moving about, much easier that way. There were some epic cumulus clouds and low wind, perfect conditions to paint cloudscapes. Did you know there is an association called The cloud Appreciation Society for cloud nerds like myself? Have a look, its great. I had one day where it rained all day and night, but i got busy with the flute carving decorations.
I kept the food rather simple on this trip bringing a frozen solid hunk of meat to roast by the campfire on the first night. The following days i pretty much lived on wild berries, mushrooms, peanuts, eggs and dry meat. I did treat myself to some tuna salad one day. Some of you asked me why I don't catch and cook fish. The reason is simple. I really don't like eating most types of lake fish like pike, perch, roach etc. I do it if i am stuck in the wild and starving which is very rare indeed. When I fish is for the joy of it and for maintaining the skills of catching fish, but 95% of the time I let them go. The other 5% end up in the pan for my wife or friends.
Well, its great to be back, I hope you are all doing great. Thanks for watching - Ric

meat, mushrooms, blue cheese, wild blue berries, chantarelles, garlic butter, chorizo, eggs, chick peas, fish, wild onion, cherry tomatoes, mayo
BUSH GLUE
spruce or pine resin, tinny bit of beeswax and charcoal. I usually just eyeball the measurements, depending on what I need the glue for, since wood contracts and expands i made the glue slighty flexible rather than brittle.

that was super cool brother i am beyond impressed mouth dropped u made that instrument then played it like it was nothing. you my friend are a true inspiration
Thank you👍
You bushcraft on a completely different level than the rest of the planet, brother. That whole playing a flute you just made out of a stick in the forest...🤯 The music itself reminded me of some of what I listened to in design studio at college; an artist named R. Carlos Nakai (Native American flute player). Thanks and stay well, Ric.
thanks👍 you too!
Thank you for making such wonderful videos, perfect escapism from a very unbalanced and problematic world 👍🏻 a reminder to all to look around find your inner peace and respect the planet thanks Glyn
most welcome👍
Bushcrafter, artist, musician.. magician! What an ending with the flute, so much respect.
👍
How could you have forgotten the main thing - outdoor chef extroardinaire!
Awesome craftsmanship.
thank you👍
If this isn't a sign I don't know what is, The past few weeks I have been looking into buying a native American flute, I've always loved the sound of them and they are apparently very easy to learn and not very expensive. I've always wanted to play an instrument but been put of because of the price and the commitment needed to learn them. I just happened to come across this vid and you make a native style flute and play it, now I'm even more sure about buying one lol.
👍
wow this is unique i never seen anything like this on YT i subbd
Guter Mann, danke !
Gute Grüße Christian
Another great video! Sometimes I go back and watch repeats. They work for me each time, but what happened to your dog? BTW, the wood stove and tent recommendation that I took from you [without asking] worked out tremendously, thank you! Can we expect a video of you teaching us how to pack an inflatable kayak for a camping trip? I've not tried kayaking yet, but I really want to get to a stage where I can take my wood stove and tipi...and dog, and heck maybe even the wife (if she decides to try kayaking). Would you recommend one of those drop-stitch kayaks I've been reading about for multi-day camping? Thanks, please keep 'em coming!
I suffer severely from anxiety, when I watch your videos it elevates my mood, calms me down and just let's me ground myself to the present moment. I just love how resourceful and creative you are! When you do all that cooking it makes me hungry haha.
Thank you so much yet again for a wonderful video, I am always excited to see a new upload from you, been subscribed for half a year and look forward to many more to come.
Thank you Rick, from Australia 👌❤️
Thanks Anthony👍
@@anthonyg.7343 Thats like the cure for anxiety
I completely agree, I feel better after watching these beautiful works of art
Dude, you're so right. It's 2AM now and i just prevented a panic attack watching this video, slowing everything down and wishing to do things like that, be more connected to the nature and simple things. Be well, brother. Best wishes from Brazil.
love the flute it is ethereal and and very ancestral to the indigenous within me and loved the echo and the birds singing along
👍
How absolutely terrible of a life does someone have to give this video a thumbs down? I feel a profound sadness for such people. I pray that one day they find peace. Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing. I am glad to see that you are well.
Thank you👍
@woodsboy me well said sir.
Good thing that it still helps him for his UA-cam analytics so joke is on the hater 🤣
@@earthangel8730 awww. How sad. I hope you feel better now.
@@earthangel8730 freedom to express myself perhaps? Which is what i was doing in my comment. Saying what i feel, just like everyone else. You ask why do i care. Why do you care? I'm an arrogant ass because YOU don't like a comment that i made. I'm making no assumptions. I'm stating what i feel. But your telling me to STOP. Who are you to tell me anything? You tell me to mind my own business. Maybe you should follow your own advice and mind yours. So much emotion? Anger? Over a simple comment on a youtube video. I am many things but naive isn't one of them young one. You may comment again so you can have the last word but I'll not answer again. I wish you well. Peace love and happiness.
The sound of the flute is very loud and clear perfect for mother nature. Cheers my friend
👍
What a gorgeous piece of work is this video! Thank-you for sharing it all. Some breathtaking skies!!
thank you👍
You bring a wonderful calmness. Thank you. I really appreciate your work. ❤️🏴❤️
Thanks you👍
perfect flute, nice sound - like a soul of the lake
👍
Great flute!
And the music is just magical!
Unbelievably beautiful!
Thanks👍
Time spent amongst trees is never wasted time. -Katrina Mayer

And the bird came to enjoy the music, many creatures listened. It was a beautiful thing.
In my country, that "Cantharellus cibarus" mushroom is called "Lisicara" (Fox mushroom eng.) and it has distinctive smell of kind of apricot and superb taste :-) Anyway, i just wanted to say that you make great videos and you really know what you are doing in the bush. :-) Greetings from Serbia.
Excellent video Rik. Great job on the flute. I thought you'd never give us a tune. Nice paintings too. I can tell you enjoyed yourself.
I did. Many thanks👍
День добрый старина! Ты не только художник,ты мастер на все.🎄🎄🎄🔥🍮👍📯
Love the videos. Peaceful relaxing. Thx for the hard work. Cheers from up in the northern Rockies
Thanks 👍
Holly cow!!! I just wanna take some time for such dedication you put on your videos man! I mean the camera shots, the editing, the description and details about everything you do!!! There is nothing i love more than watching these type of videos at night to fall sleep, but you keep it so interesting that i cant hahahaha absolutely loved it!!!! Thank you so much for sharing such amazing experience!!! Wish you and your family the best!!! Saludos desde MEXICO ! n_n
Thanks a lot, same to you👍
Your videos never disappoint. Inspiring and heartfelt without any words needed. Safe travels friend.
Thanks👍
Excellent video. I'm just a computer nerd at home making and playing video games; but I would love to get into doing some outdoor adventuring like this. I think it's super cool how you made your own flute, would like to learn how to do that.
thanks👍You can do it!
Love this video so much. I especially liked when the bird began dueting with you, and you held the flute up to invite him in your song...such a sweet moment...much talent. Love to you both. Jeanette. Xxx
Thanks you👍
Thanks for detailed description.. very interesting, as usual. I'm always so glad to see your adventures. Stay well... we love ya!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Ric...
Much needed.
🇺🇸🙏👍
Very welcome
Amazing thing with the flute! Loved it. Was waiting to hear you play, and I was so suprised! It was so good!!
Glad you liked it!!
Fantastic. Elegance. Serenity. Peace. And spirit. Makes for an amazing few days. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching 👍
Coolest man in wild. Real master.
Hello. I feel like you spent a lot of energy, time for a short shot, when you left the camera on the shore and kicked a canoe running from the middle of the river. You are very adventurous 😊😂
Speechless. Amazing.
A truly lovely video once again Rik.. The escapism and serenity is something many can be jealous of in this troubled world. My mind just drifted watching this film. Beautiful.
Awesome, thanks 👍
The way you record these crispest sounds is amazing! Beautifull. But i do miss the sound of your voice. I miss you taking me away on this Journey like you did in the tipi diaries
Wonderful video, very well filmed! The flute you made is very beautiful and the music you played sounds very good. After I watched your video I listened to Romanian traditional flute music (especially Romanian caval) for almost an hour. I'm even thinking of learning to play the caval now, as I saw there are many caval lessons on youtube. I don't know if I will succeed in doing that, but it's worth trying. Thank you for being an inspiration! Wish you many wonderful moments spent in the great outdoors!
Thank you! I'm sure you can do it👍 You too!
I'd love to do a trip with you. But I might talk in your video. 🤪. Great content as usual. Cheers from 🇨🇦. Your vids are 👍
😆👍
@@NagualeroArt Josh has a good channel
I can't paint like you, but I do love to take photos of my campsites. There is nothing more beautiful than a tent in the woods 🥰⛺️🌳
Love that!
Awesome. Artist and musician, I didn’t know
Ric👍👍 Plow point works good as long as the rain is coming down straight😊 Was wondering about the biting flies and skeeters. Looked like a great time actually, rain and all. Paddled lots eh, seemed like a lot of water to navigate there, luckily on film anyway it wasn't in the rain😎 6 days in the bush..how exhilarating, and we only got to see 4..bummer. Good job on the flute construction, similar to Native American. A Shakuhachi maybe not, but it does a fine tribal second😉 Another stellar video with excellent filming, thanks for the work👌 Stay safe. See ya next time. Enjoy!
Thanks! the mosquito net and wind takes care of them and yes I got caught in the rain twice while paddling. Thanks for watching 👍
Lots of love and support ❤️
Thank you👍
Its amazing & perfect end. I tottaly like it
Awesome👍

Thank you Richard, Cheers!
The clouds and sky are beautiful. Very peaceful.
Yes
By the end of this amazing video, listening to the beautiful sounds of your flute (carved by you) echoing around the lake, I must tell you that tears rolled down on my face. For me that moment symbolizes the truly essence of life when mind, body and spirit comes together as one. I can't thank you enough for sharing such precious moments with all of us. The simplicity and beauty of it all just touched my soul.THANK YOU!!
Wonderful👍
Wonderful as always. A man of many talents.
Thank you kindly!

Beautiful art and wood work, as always. What in the world did you do to your finger? As a Swedish friend of mine says, "ooooocchhh!"
😆small cut with super glue on top of it dried and flaky. painful but it looks worse than it is. thank you👍
There are lots of camping videos. Yours are among the very best. You have spent a lot of time in the woods, and this took a lot of effort. Hauntingly beautiful. Thank you again.

Thank you, gotta make myself a new pipe one of these days👍
I'm Thai and follow you in the clip.
I swear this guy is a renaissance man
You are truly an amazing being. Very inspirational. Everything you do is so amazing and done so smoothly.
The upper peninsula of Michigan kind of reminds me of some of the places you go to. Beautiful.
Cheers from Michigan USA.
Thank you👍
This is AMAIZING. Thank you from Poland.
You brought that willow flute to life, and really made this video for me.

Completely enjoyable and informative once again, thank you for sharing. Did you see or hear what took the rabbit?
As much as you packed into this video, for me it would have been an hour of eating chanterelles. Just eating and more eating 😂
😆👍
Amazing trip, beautiful nature, delicious food and this flute .. I don't know much about flutes, but I think it actually turned out magical. A completely different atmosphere than with a guitar.
It was worth waiting for this movie. Thank you.
Greetings from Poland :)
yes, magical indeed👍
My goodness, you can sew? What can’t you do? Sign me up!
😆😂🤣👍
Love and respect from Israel
Such a great video again... only bad thing, it was only one hour...could be three times so long or more ;-) great food, wonderful landscape, beautiful paintings...and then at least...the flute....just amazing, wonderful sounds came out there! Well done Sir! You are a real Artist Ric! Best regards, Dirk!
Thank you 👍
I absolutely love the "no talk" videos, and yours are exelent. Thank you so much.
Greetings from Sweden
Love the poncho..and such beautiful visuals you have in your vids
Thank you👍
As for the flute the birds cry bravo ! nature's silence beckons more. The man says it all with no words. Travel well my fellow earth dwellers.
You make me realise how simple and beautiful life really is. Your attention to detail and unhurried pace all add up to a magical experience, in comparison to the chaos we surround ourselves with. Thank you love and peace.
Great👍
Oh, so beautiful! Loved your flute initiation...magical...the birds and the sunset sang with you! Delightful! Thanks so much for sharing the magic...
Most welcome 👍
I love that flute you made it sound magical
Thanks, it really does👍
