@@Lonewolfwildcamping I'd make sure to state to your people make sure its quality steel otherwise you'll be sharpening nonstop when talking about what kinda knives to get
This was my first time watching one of your videos and I just want to say that I do prefer your teaching style over many of your competitors/peers. Really low key and "approachable".
Absolutely agree. He answered a lot of small random questions I had that weren't important, but still good knowledge. Its also cool to see someone all tattooed and "alternative", rather than some dude in all camo with a john deere hat on haha 😁
I’m only 3 minutes in but this Nearly 47 minute video seems so full of information. Love it. Even just explaining the tarp, he explained everything you’d need to know and think about and why he did what he did. Love this
I am binge watching and enjoying your videos very much. I have “never” been camping a day in my life, but l do enjoy the process of it. I am living out my camping fantasies through your videos 🙂 thank you for taking us on your journeys.
Get out there and enjoy the woods. It doesn’t take much to get started with enough basic gear for an overnight or two night camp out at a quiet state park or something.
At last! This is an informative video that does what it says on the tin, and NOT a shameless advertisement for 'sponsors'. Thank you and well done! Yes, I've subscribed.
Appreciate this video. You should start a bushcraft school your a great teacher in the art of bushcrafting. I always learn a lot from your video's. Thanks brother for taking the time to share your expertise with us.
I would recommend several cotton handkerchiefs. Cheep and many many uses like wrapping sewing kit, water filtration, use as a washcloth, use a dark colored one as an emergency butt wipe. and so many more uses. Of course also blowing of the nose.
For a beginner I’d recommend only a few things to get Started as you don’t know wether you’ll like it or not. A knife, clipper or bic lighter, some cord and a cheap water proof tarp. (all can be found on Amazon but make sure you read the reviews obviously) Dw about mess tins and the like as you don’t want to spend to much on gear for the first night as watching a video of someone experienced and actually doing it urself are completely different so just bring ready to eat food with you. hope this helps. Watch the whole video tho obviously dude knows his stuff Edit. make sure you do ur first night in summer as-well you’ll enjoy it way more but pack a coat for the early morning as it can get quite nippy
Yeah, that's some very solid advice there. Also, for a first timer, I'd recommend bringing a buddy. Can help a lot to have a friend around the first time you go out.
If you’re human than you’ll like bushcraft. Amazon reviews are faked a lot so that’s unreliable. Bushcraft is pretty simple and for some of us lucky ones our parents and/or grandparents taught us the rudimentary skills.
I've always been impressed with how perfectly proportionate your gear load is. As I've made the transition from, primarily "survivalist" to "bushcrafter", it's been harder than expected, but well worth not sleeping with the bugs. I always enjoy videos, where you break things down, I know it really helps me make informed decisions much easier. Thanks for the video, stay safe out there and God bless!
I cracked up when you put the wok in the pack like a helmet. ✨ Tactical Wok ✨ Multi purpose. But yes i second everyone else saying you should start a bushcrafting class. I would 100% watch. I get pretty bored when most people try to explain. You're straight, to the point, and make great suggestions. You have a wonderful teachers air about you. Thank you for this video.
Canvas and wool blanket = pay off between fire safe and weight.. Love the way you make your own stuff, use whats at hand and not just another sales person pretending to be a bush/wilderness trainer..
Absolutely loved this video!! I’m a homeschool mom and each month we have a different theme for life skills. This month the theme is bushcraft and I LOVE the jute twine ideas!! My son is getting into more fire responsibility and he’s going to love this!! Also carrying a candle, definitely adding that to our packs.
Just like a butcher would sharpen his best knife until the end, watching something you cherish getting worn out and old, although it perfectly does the job, makes you proud.
The little pruning saws work well also. I love my Bahco Laplander. I also recommend a large silky saw. Safe firelighting pracice in the back yard is great fun.
A good and cheap alternative for europeans are EKA saw's, cheaper and lighter than Bahco and Silky, and has replaceable blades too. Comes with three blades (metal/wood/bone)
Great video! It’s a refreshing change to watch a bushcraft channel that doesn’t make you feel like you’re not actually a bushcrafter if you don’t have a $$$$$ Granfors Bruk (spelling!) hatchet/axe! This doesn’t have to be expensive, and I thank you for making that clear! Keep up the good work, and may God bless!
Good information especially for beginners Jeremy! Remember the 5-Cs: Cutting Tools (fixed blade knife/folding saw), Combustion Device (ferro rod), Cover (tarp/sleep), Container (single wall metal bottle), Cordage (#550-cord)
Great knowledge shared...and I'll keep it going with my 2 children..I'm teaching them life skills... 🐠 Ing..trapping.. shelters..and last but not least...Love for our country... including respect for our Serving and Fallen soldiers and all branches of first responders...We The People!!!
That was one hell of a tutorial for beginning bushcraft. You should Have something like this for your grand prize it would help somebody like me who's just now getting into it. Once again thank you for taking the time to educate those of us who appreciate it.... TomNAnita
Great video. A few months ago I camped under a tarp and had 'daddy long-leg' spiders crawling over my face while I slept. So one simple thing I've added for tarp camping is some kind of bug net, which can be as simple as a headnet.
that's like my problem, as well... i live in upstate ny, the heartland of lyme disease -carrying ticks... i LOVE the idea of a tarp shelter, but i think i'm going to have to stick with a tent... : (
Hey a novice friend of mine mentioned this vid as being easy to take in and I’d say it is decently done and thought out. As long as the 5 c’s of survivability are met you’ll have a good range of gear. Also it’s unnecessary to buy dollar store or high end grade equipment. The more you know the less you carry ~MK
Salute @Longwolf 902 from the USA 🇺🇸 I enjoy watching your videos I find them very informative and I always leaves with something new or a better way of doing things. 🤙🏾
This is by far one of the best Busch craft beginner videos I have seen and definitely sold on being a subscriber. I was tired of watching "What's in my bag videos" with nothing to show for it besides over priced gear. But this guy knows what he has and knows what he wants out of the things he owns.
Really like you using natural materials. It enhances the experience by making us more connected to nature and improves rustic skills which helps make us pro at outdoors.
You do good work, brother. Thoroughly informative. Always taking me to school. Plus, I constantly run into bushcraft vernacular on your vids that I was completely unaware of. Much obliged 🙏👊
Most Excellent Presentation, … many years of observing/reading about “BASICS” … i thoroughly enjoyed ALL of this video. (It was long but I played at 1.25X speed 🫣🤣)
Love the canvas+wool sleeping system! Seems a lot easier to pack and maintain than actual sleepingbags. I think I'm going to adopt that idea! As for knives, axes and saws. I got myself a hefty knife and a small swiss army knife, which I love, as you can use the reamer/awl and mini saw to also bore small holes (up to 10 mm) in wood. I do like the chisel set, tho I've been using a small compact gouge (pfeil gouge), very small and very durable and feels very nice in the hand. I kinda do like that you have a roll of different types of chisels. I might make a roll for my set at some point, but for know my chisels just stay at home at the shop haha. As for a saw, I just bring a (cheapish) off-brand pocketboy-style folding saw that I got at my local hardware store. Love it and I think it's a lot easier to work with than those bow saws (foldable or not), but that's just personal preference. Something else I do love to have with me is just a roll of regular aluminium foil. There's very many great uses for that when outdoors and it's also very cheap and lightweight. Great to make a small oven, heat reflector (on the other side of the fire, up against a windblocker if you make one for your fire), food preparation, sharpening, cleaning, or even removing some rust from tools if there's ever a need, which there SHOULDN'T, but yeah, ya never know). Pretty much what you'd also use the steel wool for I guess, but it has a few more uses. Oh and almost forgot, I love the cooking system you got there, a kettle and a wok even. But I honestly, just bring a steel single walled canteen that I can put in the fire most of the time. and either stake my meat, or just find a flat stone to put in the fire to cook on top and if I can't find those, use the aluminium foil.
This is THE BEST, MOST THOROUGH, Getting Started video I have ever watched. It was truly enjoyable and educational.. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I Love your channel.
Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favourites....and this video really confirms this...I enjoyed your honesty and openess about high end branded items...but also your practical sense on teaching your children basic life skills that I do believe have been lost in today's society..just wondering what are your thoughts about assembling a basic med kit to bring from beginners..although I do know this can be a very personal item list that should be studied well before going out on any outdoor adventure...wishing you more power and success moving forward....greetings from Vancouver BC...stay safe and healthy during these times...God bless...you and family.... Dan
All the beginner gear you laid out, that's fitting in that pack? Also, a list of the gear would be great! Outstanding video, thank you! Getting that tarp soon!
I made the leave stuff sleeping pad after watching this. After a few uses, I think it is my favorite piece of kit. I can fill it with leaves and sit on it next to the fire, tote a bunch of small twigs for my fire, sleep on it. It is just awesome. Thanks for the tips.
Great vid and a very good message. Your gear doesn't have to be the best of most expensive, it just needs to be taken care of and last for a good while. That being said, investing in decent quality gear ends up to be cheaper in the long run as it lasts longer. I have Spyderco's and an Essee 4 & 5 that I bought cause I could and I wanted them, but I hardly use them. My go too knives are my Cold Steel Kudu and SR1 for folders and my SRK (SK5 steel) and Schrade SCHF26 for fixed blades as they are near indestructible. I've taken a lot of flack and sarcastic comments from knife steel and gear snobs on bushcrafting weekends due to my choices, but I don't really care. My gear and knives are tested and I know I could stake my life on them and that's what's important. A lot of these guys will pull out fat rope sticks and fancy fire starters while I use waxed jute or vaseline and cotton pads and mine work as well and often better than theirs. Too many bushcrafters on UA-cam will use pricey gear from Pathfinder and other retailers and that often puts off beginners as they don't have the ability to pay that much for gear. You did great to show how you can really kit yourself out well without breaking bank.
Jeremy, as an old-timer been around a lot I would like to congratulate you on the most excellent excellent bushcrafting video. Thank you! Stay warm stay healthy stay safe
Opening your video, I thought that it will be the same as hundreds existing on youtube. But after canvas tarp and pack I appreciated the quality of ideas, thank you!
Great video! Really useful information, just a random question, I've been watching quite a lot of bushcraft/camping videos lately and I don't think I've seen magnetic sheaths being used. Wouldn't that be really useful? Like the sheath on your belt, if it had some magnetic strips sewn into it in a way that the magnets don't directly touch the knife, it would still be as accessible as it is now but more secure/less prone to falling out. Just wondering if I'm missing some obvious reason for magnetic sheaths being so rarely used.
I've actually never thought of using magnets for that tbh! Generally sheaths just fit snugly and use friction to keep the knife inside, most of the time (part of) the handle also goes inside to make that even better. I've yet to have any knife just fall out.
I tried this once when I was younger. At night I was cold and I didn't sleep. The fleas chewed on me all night! However, you demonstrate well just how little you NEED. Sometimes the best is not expensive. This concept applies to travel too! After some trial and error you find what works. Check out a Dry Wall Hammer! Part hatchet part hammer. A $13 14 inch Machete does multi-duty. If you can get a good one, a small stainless steel bucket hauls water and cooks food etc. Thanks for the vids! If nothing else it's a wonderful thought experiment!
First time watching your channel and I have to say, I really appreciate the emphasis on things not needing to be expensive. A lot of people on youtube get all their gear sent to them for free and they're showing us that we need a 400$ backpack. Just subbed, keep it up man
Loved the video helped me understand what gear is good and what you can start with for when i wanna go out and enjoy the nature so thanks for that Lonewolf 👍😊
As for starting out, agree on the axes part. I'm not sure about general availability of morakniv in the US, but highly recommend the kansbol or similar as they're not expensive but can take a huge beating. You can split wood with it no problem, just sharpen it afterwards and you're good to go. Also, I'd say that one knife is no knife. Always carry two, a good idea is to once again use a morakniv like the eldris which is small enough to wear around your neck like a necklace, also comes stock with a fire steel. Just tuck it inside your shirt and pull the chord, you want it tight.
WOW! As a retired Survival Instructor that still peruses UA-cam videos on the subject, I really enjoyed your video. This video is very well done. There is so many videos that drone on about Bushcraft that very few stand out. What makes your videos stand out is your explanations as to why you choose your gear. Viewers may not agree with your choice, but at least they can bounce their choices off of a well thought out alternative. The other thing that makes this a great video is that you are well spoken. Not a lot of "Ummm", "Uhhhh", or stupid sayings like "Know what I mean?" The distractions are not there so it's easy to follow. The waxed bed roll is brilliant. Had not seen that before and makes perfect sense. I would have added the fact that if you stuff the bed roll with lots of duff and leaves, it will in fact raise you off the ground insulating you AND keeping you up off the ground.
Excellent. Thank you for taking the time to introduce all the items. Like the emphasis on useful and cheap. Not fancy, not branded whatever - it just has to work. 👍
Brother, that was the absolute best introduction to bushcraft I have ever seen (and I’ve been out in the woods and on lakes since I was just little). Thanks for keeping it real in the 902 with your Paul Mason vibe. Now I’m off to binge on all your other videos!
I'm thinking to try bush crafting ! Your video was very informative and helpfull. Thanx man for explaining the basics.I hope I will survive my first bushcrafting,,😆
J'ai fait beaucoup de camping avec mes parents, puis seul dès 14 ans et j'approuve ta demarche simple et efficace. Le but c'est de profiter de la nature, pas de s'encombrer de gadgets inutiles et cher. L'esprit pratique est plus important que tout... Merci
I love the idea making items instead buying. Instead ricing brands telling how to this how to that is the real deal, most people thinks ferro rods and feathersticks but knowing the area what to eat what to avoid etc. are real skills in my opinion
This is a very valuable resource for someone like me who is absolutely brand new to bushcraft! I think I would opt to bring a piece of tar soap and some toilet paper, though. For a little bit of extra hygiene or in case I need to disinfect a wound.
I'm really enjoying all your videos. Appreciate that you "TALK" to us about what you doing. Watched others videos and don't understand what going on because they silent. First of yours was the one where you built a suspended, covered bed, and covered fire with wind block. So excited I saved it and had my hubby watch it, too. He thinks I'm funny because we both 77 and will Shelter In if and when TSHTF. But we did build GHB's for our vehicles, so I believe if we more than a day away from home we will need to know how to Make Camp for the night. We used to camp back in the Olden Days, in fact, we started our marriage honeymoon by a camping trip around The Loop in Washington State. Borrowed his Dad's pickup and my Dad's tent and all their other gear we needed. Oh yeah, and took our 3 little boys with us, too. My 1 and his 2. What great memories! We need to take some things out of our GHB's and add some things I've learned from you. Thank you for your Service to our Country and for all your training in Videos. Love seeing your boy/young man with you and how close you are! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Canvas tarp now available, here is the link m.pomoly.com/Canvas-Wolf-Den-Tarp-10x10-ft-for-Solo-Bushcraft-and-Camping-Lonewolf-902-p1554925.html
That's a good price too. I see it's a blended material - still good around the fire?
Yes excellent around fire and a great price

"If you do not know how to light fire with a fire steel ... do not go outdoors" I lost it. Great video Lonewolf.
Thanks 🔥😁

All the beginner gear you laid out, that's fitting in that pack? Also, a list of the gear would be great! Outstanding video, thank you! Getting that tarp soon!
Yes all of the gear i laid out fits inside the pack
Ou yes!!! my flends chow bushcraft .
I made the leave stuff sleeping pad after watching this. After a few uses, I think it is my favorite piece of kit. I can fill it with leaves and sit on it next to the fire, tote a bunch of small twigs for my fire, sleep on it. It is just awesome. Thanks for the tips.

I lived in Glace Bay for about 4 months back in 98' bad ass videos!!!
Great vid and a very good message. Your gear doesn't have to be the best of most expensive, it just needs to be taken care of and last for a good while.
That being said, investing in decent quality gear ends up to be cheaper in the long run as it lasts longer.
I have Spyderco's and an Essee 4 & 5 that I bought cause I could and I wanted them, but I hardly use them.
My go too knives are my Cold Steel Kudu and SR1 for folders and my SRK (SK5 steel) and Schrade SCHF26 for fixed blades as they are near indestructible.
I've taken a lot of flack and sarcastic comments from knife steel and gear snobs on bushcrafting weekends due to my choices, but I don't really care. My gear and knives are tested and I know I could stake my life on them and that's what's important.
A lot of these guys will pull out fat rope sticks and fancy fire starters while I use waxed jute or vaseline and cotton pads and mine work as well and often better than theirs.
Too many bushcrafters on UA-cam will use pricey gear from Pathfinder and other retailers and that often puts off beginners as they don't have the ability to pay that much for gear.
You did great to show how you can really kit yourself out well without breaking bank.
Bushcrafting at its core has nothing to do with gear , but instead enjoying nature. 🌲😁
another tip is to bring a tampon. it’s made of cotton and it can be used for lighting a fire, filter water or cleaning up any cuts or wounds
I carry a BIC lighter
Jeremy, as an old-timer been around a lot I would like to congratulate you on the most excellent excellent bushcrafting video. Thank you! Stay warm stay healthy stay safe
and if you have the skills you can bushcraft with just an axe or knife alone
I agree
@@Lonewolfwildcamping of course it will be very Darwinian to not bring first aid alongside too
Underrated comment. Not only should you ALWAYS carry a first aid/ifak but you NEED to know how to use it!
Opening your video, I thought that it will be the same as hundreds existing on youtube.
But after canvas tarp and pack I appreciated the quality of ideas, thank you!
I need an escape from society, thank you.
Thank you for always trying to get folks to make their own equipment and tools
🤙😄
Where can I find a link to the canvas tarp? I can only seem to find the 300D

@@Lonewolfwildcamping Nice, I’ve been waiting on that. Thanks
Here it is 🤙🤩
Great video! Really useful information, just a random question, I've been watching quite a lot of bushcraft/camping videos lately and I don't think I've seen magnetic sheaths being used. Wouldn't that be really useful? Like the sheath on your belt, if it had some magnetic strips sewn into it in a way that the magnets don't directly touch the knife, it would still be as accessible as it is now but more secure/less prone to falling out. Just wondering if I'm missing some obvious reason for magnetic sheaths being so rarely used.
Thank you, not a bad suggestion with the magnets but a good quality sheath is really difficult to drop a knife from
I've actually never thought of using magnets for that tbh!
Generally sheaths just fit snugly and use friction to keep the knife inside, most of the time (part of) the handle also goes inside to make that even better. I've yet to have any knife just fall out.
I tried this once when I was younger. At night I was cold and I didn't sleep. The fleas chewed on me all night!
However, you demonstrate well just how little you NEED. Sometimes the best is not expensive. This concept applies to travel too! After some trial and error you find what works.
Check out a Dry Wall Hammer! Part hatchet part hammer. A $13 14 inch Machete does multi-duty. If you can get a good one, a small stainless steel bucket hauls water and cooks food etc.
Thanks for the vids! If nothing else it's a wonderful thought experiment!

Yes 🤙🇨🇦🍁
I like the way you think... definitely one of the best channels for bushcraft on the tube. Thanks for sharing your wisdom honed knowledge.
First time watching your channel and I have to say, I really appreciate the emphasis on things not needing to be expensive. A lot of people on youtube get all their gear sent to them for free and they're showing us that we need a 400$ backpack. Just subbed, keep it up man
You are one undeniable advantage of this tarp does not make noise like synthetic counterparts.
Loved the video helped me understand what gear is good and what you can start with for when i wanna go out and enjoy the nature so thanks for that Lonewolf 👍😊
As for starting out, agree on the axes part. I'm not sure about general availability of morakniv in the US, but highly recommend the kansbol or similar as they're not expensive but can take a huge beating. You can split wood with it no problem, just sharpen it afterwards and you're good to go.
Also, I'd say that one knife is no knife. Always carry two, a good idea is to once again use a morakniv like the eldris which is small enough to wear around your neck like a necklace, also comes stock with a fire steel. Just tuck it inside your shirt and pull the chord, you want it tight.
Love it. 😊👍 As you say a lot, you can find most gear really cheap, but there is one thing you should not buy cheap. Your choice of foot wear.
Thank you thank you for your help, advice and consideration. Sometimes we need the simple advice to get started. I appreciate all your help.
No worries, im glad I could help
WOW! As a retired Survival Instructor that still peruses UA-cam videos on the subject, I really enjoyed your video. This video is very well done.
There is so many videos that drone on about Bushcraft that very few stand out. What makes your videos stand out is your explanations as to why you choose your gear. Viewers may not agree with your choice, but at least they can bounce their choices off of a well thought out alternative.
The other thing that makes this a great video is that you are well spoken. Not a lot of "Ummm", "Uhhhh", or stupid sayings like "Know what I mean?" The distractions are not there so it's easy to follow.
The waxed bed roll is brilliant. Had not seen that before and makes perfect sense. I would have added the fact that if you stuff the bed roll with lots of duff and leaves, it will in fact raise you off the ground insulating you AND keeping you up off the ground.
Excellent. Thank you for taking the time to introduce all the items. Like the emphasis on useful and cheap. Not fancy, not branded whatever - it just has to work. 👍
Thank you, whatever works is the best option
Brother, that was the absolute best introduction to bushcraft I have ever seen (and I’ve been out in the woods and on lakes since I was just little). Thanks for keeping it real in the 902 with your Paul Mason vibe. Now I’m off to binge on all your other videos!
Thank you, im glad the video was both helpful and enjoyable
I'm thinking to try bush crafting ! Your video was very informative and helpfull. Thanx man for explaining the basics.I hope I will survive my first bushcrafting,,😆
🤙
For the pants , I would use a similar pant BUT i would like it to have 4-6 pockets , it would be VERY useful that way.
Awsome 🤙
What a terrific video. Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very helpful information. Thanks
compact, straight to the point and informative at the same time! Great video!
J'ai fait beaucoup de camping avec mes parents, puis seul dès 14 ans et j'approuve ta demarche simple et efficace. Le but c'est de profiter de la nature, pas de s'encombrer de gadgets inutiles et cher. L'esprit pratique est plus important que tout... Merci
I dig your custom fixed blade.
Thanks
'you're workin on projects...' & I straight away thought - Punisher! lol! great vid -you're level 50 barbarian/craftsman in this mmorpg...
😊🤙👍
Your content is awesome mate.... Keep up the great work. I can't believe I get to see these videos for free👍👍👍👍
Thanks alot 😊
I love the idea making items instead buying. Instead ricing brands telling how to this how to that is the real deal, most people thinks ferro rods and feathersticks but knowing the area what to eat what to avoid etc. are real skills in my opinion
This is a very valuable resource for someone like me who is absolutely brand new to bushcraft! I think I would opt to bring a piece of tar soap and some toilet paper, though. For a little bit of extra hygiene or in case I need to disinfect a wound.
I like to think I'm not a "beginner" but I learned a ton in this video. I applaud you sir
Thank you, we can all learn from each other
I'm really enjoying all your videos. Appreciate that you "TALK" to us about what you doing. Watched others videos and don't understand what going on because they silent. First of yours was the one where you built a suspended, covered bed, and covered fire with wind block. So excited I saved it and had my hubby watch it, too. He thinks I'm funny because we both 77 and will Shelter In if and when TSHTF. But we did build GHB's for our vehicles, so I believe if we more than a day away from home we will need to know how to Make Camp for the night. We used to camp back in the Olden Days, in fact, we started our marriage honeymoon by a camping trip around The Loop in Washington State. Borrowed his Dad's pickup and my Dad's tent and all their other gear we needed. Oh yeah, and took our 3 little boys with us, too. My 1 and his 2. What great memories! We need to take some things out of our GHB's and add some things I've learned from you. Thank you for your Service to our Country and for all your training in Videos. Love seeing your boy/young man with you and how close you are! Happy New Year to you and yours!
You’re so so cool!!! 🏴🥺❤️💪🏼🤘🏼
🤙
Nice video no nonsense straight to the point teaching people to get started thank you
Thanks for enjoying
