    after watching your first one building this camp , I'm really very impressed . you honestly do meticulously fine work and put thought into everything you build into it. I'm just an old carpenter that's retired , 56 yrs old . my Filipino wife loves the wilderness here in the states . didn't know how well she would handle the cold , even in Louisiana and Arkansas . I was amazed , but I got her excellent cold weather gear , ( mil surplus , and sore bought both . she handles it better than I do . we soon have eight kids headed this way . all good things willing , considering these children are very respectful and chomping at the bit to learn , I cant wait to teach em wood/bushcraft stuff , hunting and fishing too . we live remotely on a lake . we camp on islands a lot as well as deep hardwood forest land too . ive have 2 similar rifles to yours . marlin 1895cb & a trapper1895 . use rem loads and underwood loads . my wife didn't really know how much of my life I spent growing up deer , duck , turkey , hog & rabbit hunting , fishing inbetween . so she really is taking off on enjoying this stuff , which I'm really happy about . the kids cant say enough about camping and fishing and hunting . ages from 7 to 19 . so , it looks like schools gonna be in session for quite awhile . her father gave us a pika house on the southern island of Mindanao on the s.e. side half way up a mountain . a truly beautiful view . never , ever gets cold there , but they do get monsoons . once the kids are here and we egt them all set up and into their lives as well as me teaching them many things , we will be going back there every two years or so . its on the edge on the kiotos mountains . no wookies , but some very large cobras . ha and crocs on the lowlands . they all farm coconut , cacao , coffee , mangos pineapples and papayas . I'm already sending back the coffee . I'm not much of a gourmet sorta guy...but that coffee is awesome ! as is the fresh green tea . as well....lot to be said for fresh seafood from two of her brothers....something I didn't expect ....ah well....all expected bonuses I never expected from some truly good people . I love em a lot....easy going people . I'm not much on manila and the city areas where her sisters live.....I prefer spending time with her dad and brothers, wife and kids....rural . oh by the way I found these blue and white Italian officers heavy wool blankets for 69 bucks on sporstmens guide > ( mil surplus) . they are 100% virgin wool , do not itch and are heavier than ANY Pendleton or hudsons bay ive ever had . for the price I bought 6 of em . only other one worth buying I got is a dutch navy one . also heavy wool. we use em on top of our sleeping bags or alone with pads....best sleeping blanket Ive ever had .

      Make sure it’s tuna in oil, that way it can wick and burn properly! I loved it when I made it. I actually forgot about that trick until you mentioned it here. Thank you!

  • @victorsutpheniii3374
    @victorsutpheniii3374 4 роки тому +2

    Nice get away. I appreciate your video.
    Look into building a long term fire. Lots of vids on it. An easy on is 3 large logs about 3ft long. 2 on the bottom with lots of kindling in between and on top along the whole length. Light the kindling and once it gets going, put the 3rd large log on top right in the middle. Put 2 stakes behind each bottom log to stop them from rolling over once their sides burn, then the 3rd log on top will eventually drop in the middle on the embers, basically still leaving you with 2 whole logs to burn (the 2 half burned & the 3rd one). Hard wood will last longer, if you have any there.

      The wife and I are heading into the forests of Vancouver island.
      We will have different Recreation site campgrounds to ourselves for FREE.
      We will be wandering from site to site for 6 months each winter.
      Average temp 3-9 C....
      We will use a 2wd Tacoma with a Tufport D-59 which is 500 pounds and cheap for the bedroom and king size mattress.
      A tiny trailer cargo 5 x 8 all aluminum will telescope to the camper back door and it will house the compost toilet and wave 3 heater and sink.
      Behind the 500 pound trailer are 2 doors to open for our teardrop which connects to our Canvas tent section double skin and tarped.
      10 x 14 foam floor and back door and little buddy heater and coleman 1 lights off a 20 pound tree.
      This is basic camping with only 206 square feet to protect from the snow or rain......make that mostly winter rain.
      I could stay at resorts for $ 1,600 dollars but people get on my nerves and I called and they said if they don't like the look of our vehicle then we have to get out.
      It's a 2018 truck with camper on top but they have turned people away before......fuck them.
      If were happy back there it may become a yearly pilgrimage to the forest......and in Ontario I used to spend summers in a primitive log camp and winter weekends.

    I see a lot of people who do this that build shelters, if you do a lot of sawing and shaving off of the bark keep it. I take bags with me to gather saw dust and shavings to use to start fires. Saw dust is amazing for this and no need to gather anything to start it with.

    This was so lovely. Just found your build today and have enjoyed the sights and sounds so much. I don’t understand what the big room is for - just a utility room, thought you were gonna sleep in there? Certainly cozy though on the bed in front of the fire. Where does the pup sleep

  • @168Diplomat
    @168Diplomat 5 років тому +1

    Just something to think about. If you put a clear plastic sheet in the front of your sleeping area that could be rolled up out of the way during the day and let down at night it would work like a “super shelter” and increase your temps to sleep in. If you coupled that with a self feeding fire lay you would be toasty all night and still have a fire in the morning. Just a thought.

    I took my wife camping on our first real serious date to see if she was comfortable and experienced doing a primitive campout. If whether she knew how to set up camp, go to the bathroom outside. starting and maintaining a proper fire along with everything else involved. I'm happy to say that was 37 years ago on Blake Island in the S. Puget Sound here in Washington State. That's my Girl alright.

    Great video! Thanks for sharing! One suggestion - at approx. 5:40... you need a large section of tree base to split your wood on. Easier on your lower back, easier on your swing and your axe isn't hitting the dirt, becoming dull faster which can become a safety issue.

    • @wituikbws
      @wituikbws  6 років тому +1

      Thanks! Later on in the video I get two rounds to split on. Also at 5:40 the reason I put a log on the ground below where I was splitting is to catch the axe before it hits the dirt. Works decent if you can't get yourself a stout round to split on. Thanks for the comment and view!! :)

    Hey Nicholas here's a recipe for you to try. It's very simple and makes a hardy breakfast. You need a can of potatoes, can of beans, a can of spam and three eggs. A cast iron pot is the best way to cook this. First fry up some slices of span until you have a nice crust on both sides. Add the can of potatoes, not the liquid. Add your can of beans and allow to cook for about 5 minutes. Add three raw eggs and fold until the eggs are cooked and then enjoy.
    Another thing to try at lunch or dinner is to cut up some potatoes into cubes, add them to a bowl, then add dry onion soup mix. I find the Knoor brand is the best. Add a couple of table spoons of butter and mix with the potatoes and onion soup mix. Get some heavy duty foil and make pouches with it (enough pouches for amount of potatoes). Cook over the fire allowing enough time for the potatoes to cook and caramelize. Serve with whatever meat you plan on cooking. We have served this to our neighbours and they love it. It's a must have when we are at camp.

    Tarps with more eyelets placed in them along the sides and a few in the center like you would in a blanket then thread them with cord and fill tarps with dirt has you cover your long term shelter. Ypu could also cut tarps and place eyelets to form front and back panels that you could bind to poles. You could make a tarp earth bag shelter in sections then fold it up pack it in set up frame of shelter then fill up tarps with dirt. If you really want it to last in spring make cob and fill tarps with cob and then let your whole shekter dry out and harden over summer for winter camping. 😊

    Excellent production. I have always felt a bit let down after watching your previous videos because at the end you always packed up and went home. This time I feel complete, having seen you stay for three nights and done all the usual bushcraft stuff.
    Given that the temperature was so low, I wondered why you slept in the outer part of the shelter. Great job guys and I hope all goes well with your future projects.

    • @wituikbws
      @wituikbws  7 років тому +1

      Thanks! My original planning was to have the outer part of the shelter (I call it the shed) as the winter sleeping area, since that area gets tons of direct heat from a fire. The inside of the A-frame was meant more for the other 3 seasons where warmth isn't to much of a concern, and in winter, for storage :). Thank you for the comment though!
