Making a bushcraft raised tripod camp bed and using the kelly kettle. Check out Mrs Bushwacker's Channel / @backtoyourroots1 Follow me on instagram - / bushwacker_man / bushwackerman
Hi Dean, enjoy watching all of your videos & Becky’s. Great to see Mrs Bushwacker out with you too. Lovely family, I’m doing the same, slowly introducing my 5 young grandchildren to the joys of ‘the great outdoors’ 👍🏻🔥🛶 Thanks for sharing, atb.......Pete (UK).
Top geezer who always posts unmissable, educational, interesting, and truthful videos. Thank you once again for sharing. Your hard work is much appreciated. atvb. Steve.
Nice to see ya Mrs Bushwacker. Nice treat to see the lady joining the video. I may have to rethink the Kelly Kettle. It serves as a fire fit and damn efficient. The bulk and weight scared me away at first.
Neat tripod bed! Thanks for sharing that! Tarp was a great addition. Cool stove and pot! Good to know that the bed works for ladies too. That will make Kay happy. ;-) . See you next time!
I would have never have thought about doing that style of raised bed. Good point on not being to make a saw. Makes it a more valuable tool in that aspect. Thank you for subscribing i really appreciate that
Just found your channel and subscribed great video. I’ve been making this setup for years. My favorite.thank you for sharing. Greetings from Ontario Canada
First of all I want to say that I agree with you about the saw being impossible to make in a survival situation Dean. It's too bad that you didn't bring that up in the debate. It would have swayed my judgement in your favor. Too late now brother. Becky won and she gets the trophy. LOL! (Actually , I won!) That debate was spectacular! I had a blast listening to you guys. Very cool my friend. I also want to tip my hat to Angela and tell her that I am very happy to see that she is back in good health, looking as lovely as ever and having fun again. I have watched many of David's video's but I must have missed the one that he made this bunk. It most definitely is an awesome bunk setup in so many ways that it makes my head spin. There is a trick that you can use in placing the teepee legs before installing the bunk that will give you the perfect height without doing much adjustment. You are going to laugh when I say this. After putting the sleeves for the bunk onto the logs, lay it on the ground and cut a stick that fits inside the two bunk rails. This is now going to be your measuring stick to use while spreading your tripod legs. It would be easier to show in a video but I don't have that ability at this time. (Example) If you wanted it waist high. Spreading the supporting legs while holding the stick at your waist, you could adjust them so the stick reaches the outer edges while holding it waist high. When sliding the bunk rails onto the tripod legs they will squeeze tight in that same spot. It's not perfect because of ground level variations but I think you know what I mean. Dude! This video was so full of so much awesome stuff that I would have to write a book just to show how much I loved it. Thanks for being you Dean. You are Awesome !
Casey you leave me such great comments, and sound advise. Maybe i can even the score in the next debate, have you any ideas for a debate topic.Angela says hi👍👍
Hay Dean, I want to give a Giant wave to Angela and thank her for being the guiding light that has nurtured the mind and soul of two Spectacular daughters. May the both of you live to a ripe old age and keep sharing your family comradery and your comradery with nature. You guys ROCK! You and Becky come up with excellent debates on your own. I love them brother. I do however have a request or even a challenge if you prefer to look at it as such. Becky was just sent a new pot to test out. My request is that you guys put that pot through as much heck as you put the Kelly Kettle through. Afterword's, You could share your difference in opinions about your conclusions on which one you would want. That would be very interesting and fun!
seen these set ups and they are a great for practice and very useful , even the same principles for a sitting bench or tables... for bedding just add dry leafs in between the tube to make it more insulated from the cold air hitting your back when laying down... can make the "tube" out of a 10x10 tarp by wrapping / folding it around and around the 2 sticks evenly in a emergency !.... thanks for your videos!.... I would rather have a folding saw than a axe too, if I only had 1 tool to take!
Yeah give it a go, well comfortable. Thanks for watching, I think there is more snow coming this weekend, are you getting out in it again? I will be cooking a nice stew this weekend to warm me up 👍
ill def give it a go at some point, like the idea with the bags. I was out last night and have things to do at weekend so sadly I think ill miss this snow if it does... we shall see haha, have fun cooking your stew mate.. nothing like it on a cold day.
Looks like you are having a bit of wind there. Here in Virginia we re having 30 mph winds so I am staying out of the woods today. Really like your bed it looks quite comfortable.
Found this excellent video searching for tripod projects. Wasn’t I surprised when shortly into it you’d taken off your hat. Are you a prematurely grey 40yo, or a 60yo with a young face? I’m the latter, lol. I just spent the last three days in the woods collecting limbs for new projects. This time of year is fantastic. No underbrush, you can see all the deadfall. Summer is pretty, late fall through early spring is a lot more fun. New subscriber and thanks for the work it takes to produce these videos. I’ll be looking at many of yours.
What a great set up! Very minimal effort for a decent outcome. I could sleep in that! Wonder what the tensile strength of the bag is. Thanks for sharing, Cheers!
Another great video. My daughter watched some of it, but she was only interested in your dog. Where would i get the drum bags from, i have put it into search bar and no joy. My daughter says she wants one. Could make a bench the same way i guess.
Hi i was wondering what you meant by drum liner bags? If you could explain these and where you sourced them i would love to give it ago cheers in advance
Hey brother, would it help with bag strength to just cut a slot on each side for the pole to slide thru or would it make no difference? Haven't made one of these before.
With regards to primitive cultures not having the ability to make saws, I point you to these sites: oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/2015/04/ , www.tapatalk.com/groups/paleoplanet69529/using-stone-tools-t4718.html , and altereagle.com/history-of-carpentry-prehistoric.html Knapping stone to create a serrated edge predates iron. Primitive cultures were quite adept at making stone tools.
Bush bed is so nice to end the day on. Not only physically but mentally as well.
To true my friend 👍👍
Good to see you spoiling the misses again
Great set up, you might want a few Canadian jam knots before you and Mrs . Bushwacker go to bed.....thanks for sharing
A few jam knots with climbing rope should cover it.👍👍Thanks for watching.
Tried making ones of these today. Turned out pretty good, considering I only have about 1 1/2 good hands after my stroke. Thanks for the great video!
glad you hear that you had a go 👍👍
Jim Dandy set up man, I like that simple quick and comfortable !!!

Nice to see ya Mrs Bushwacker. Nice treat to see the lady joining the video.

Looks great! Meal always taste better out by the fire.
Looks awesome, like a hammock without the curve. Well done.
Aweeee!!! How fun!!! Great video ☺️
Neat tripod bed! Thanks for sharing that! Tarp was a great addition.
Cool stove and pot! Good to know that the bed works for ladies too. That will make Kay happy. ;-) . See you next time!

Thanks for your great advise Frank.👍
Great video and you had made it really nice and i like the set up as well.
Cheers mate
Your welcome :)
If you stuff the mattress/bags with dry grass, it would provide some insulation.
Cheers Candy 👍👍
Great video I took notes and made sketches
Good to hear, Good luck with it - Show me when you have finished, would love to see it👍
ik zie het alweer lekker Eten koken in het bos leuke video en wat een Groten Tarp heb je
Cheers mate, it a DD 👍

Yeah give it a go, well comfortable. Thanks for watching, I think there is more snow coming this weekend, are you getting out in it again? I will be cooking a nice stew this weekend to warm me up 👍

Thanks for watching ,stay safe👍
very good job , dave is inspiring..
billy joe
Thanks for watching, yes he is awesome, cant wait to meet him at the Bushcraft Show, I will be like a sponge soaking up his knowledge 👍
Would you consider a small log cabin from logs of that size? That would make a great series.
Something to consider for the future sounds great👍

No 50 of age. Thanks for the sub 👍👍enjoy👍👍
@@BushwackerMan you look 10 younger. I like the pace you use having fun working hard.
What a great set up! Very minimal effort for a decent outcome. I could sleep in that! Wonder what the tensile strength of the bag is.
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers!
Thanks for your comment, not sure but it held me and Mrs Bushwacker!!
More then enough then! Good one,
Cheers!
Hey there! Found you (late) via Yankee. Looking forward to getting to know you!
Thanks for watching👍🏻
Look more at The Lens Rather than the LCD! Great Vid!
Yes good point, I am working on trying to master that technique 👍👍
FYI there are no more extra noodles in the king potnoodles than the normal ones, hold it up against the sun and see for yourself
Big is not always more👍
very e p i c
Cheers Ethan 👍👍
Another great video. My daughter watched some of it, but she was only interested in your dog. Where would i get the drum bags from, i have put it into search bar and no joy. My daughter says she wants one. Could make a bench the same way i guess.
Thanks for watching, glad your daughter likes Buster. Any large strong bin bag will do the job.👍
Hi i was wondering what you meant by drum liner bags? If you could explain these and where you sourced them i would love to give it ago cheers in advance
Large industrial bin or rubble bags will do the job nicely. Mine were 2ft6 wide 👍🏻
Lash those horizontal poles!
Friction fit on the poles 👍👍
Hey brother, would it help with bag strength to just cut a slot on each side for the pole to slide thru or would it make no difference? Haven't made one of these before.
Yes that would be another way of doing it👍🏻👍🏻
What boots are those youre wearing.?
Lowa hunter gtx 👍👍
What kinda bag is that
Heavy duty sacks
What are the blue bags anyone?
They are Royal Mail postal mailing sacks👍👍
@@BushwackerMan Thanks for your answer and time mate. Great videos 👍
