Bushcraft on Horseback - Hammock camping with horses and dog!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- On this Horseback trek through the forest, we bring our dog, hammocks and tarps for an camping overnighter with minimal bushcraft gear. We were Horse riding in the rain for the whole first day, which meant getting dry firewood/ tinder and starting the fire with a firesteel wasn’t easy! After some horse action, we returned home the following day. Horse riding and hammock camping is definitely recommended! ;)
Many thanks to Stina and Tessa, our horses for the trip.
also thanks to Esther and the Slieve Aughty Centre, for letting us bring them!
Hope you like it! Leave a comment! ;)

that's got to be the happiest dog ever. lol , running with horses through the forest, being a wild boy.
My dogs get to live this paradise too +chase grizzly bears
The dog is having the time of his lifetime
Adventures on horseback is unlike any other means of travel! Non horse people are missing out
It's my dream to do but I cant afford a hose😔
I wish I knew how to ride. I think it would be awesome to 'hit the trails', so to speak, and ride in the mountains of Alaska and Montana; living like real cowboys did.
Aren’t Ted I can do any trail u can do on horse back on my dirtbike
I'm a few years late to the party but I want to tell you that I'm impressed by how well you immediately take the saddles off the horses when you reach hour daily destination. It's important to unburden them as soon as you can as you do. I like the spacious area you enclose for them for grazing on lush grass, your dog seems happy and in great shape. You treat your animals very well. It gets you two thumbs up from me. Well done gentlemen ! Keep up the great work and thank you for taking us along for the ride. Very enjoyable !!
You guys are bad asses! The most real survivor videos out there on UA-cam. Keep it that way, please-not about the gear but about the wilderness and our place in it, unabashed.
that dog is hilarious!
i love it how you mounted the camera on a stick!
Wow, simple lookinf but great video. The edit in the beginning was supreme. I like that you show real struggles like the difficult fire without malking it seem like part of a dramtic arc. The breakfesttalk was smooth.
Brilliant. Some very confident riding at the beginning lad's, nice. This video is more to home for me, I spent over 2 years living on the road horse drawn with a friend, I lived in a Gypsy Bender and had a 2 wheeled flat cart and he had himself a very nice Open Lot Wagon, our setups were pulled by our Welsh Cobs of around 14:2 hand's, we lived a lot off the land mainly and foraged out of food skips when we could, this video is where my head was totally at nearly 30 year's ago. Thank you and atvb to you both. Paul.
Your dog and horses are so well behaved, i love your videos great job
I love how the dog was like... Right I see what we are doing here, I'll go first this time 😂😂
beautiful horses lovely dog wow experience.
Greetings from America, you guys are fun to watch, especially the tall skinny one, he's a hoot. Horseback bush crafting is what I want to do. Awesome work gents, keep it up.
We would hobble horses and mules and let them graze. Lead animal gets a cowbell around the neck. Some people use portable electric fences but Moose tend to knock em down and your in for a big hike. We always take pack animals....makes camp more tolerable. Allows for things like a stove, chairs, horse feed, etc. We log dead wood for fire by tying off to the tail. Their tails are strong. Find a couple of books online. “Packing in on horses and mules” the other is “Horses, Hitches and Rocky Trails” written by Smoke Elsner and Joe Back respectively. Good luck!
Awesome ! Thanks a lot for the recommendations and tips! :) hah what we did was only childplay is what youre probably thinking hehehe:P
This was a really beautiful place, scenery & loved the horses and Jaeger along! It was too short! I hate to see you guys freezing, wet and miserable! But when you go somewhere like this then it"s a pleasure to watch!
This is one of my favorite videos. Great songbird sound as well...my cat is still trying to find the birds. Lol
2:50 Bush craft selfie stick!!
This is so beautiful
Thanks for the great video. Took me back. I'm from the western state of Nevada. I working cattle ranches when I was younger and my sport was rodeo. In fact my first couple of deer hunting trips were on horse back. My dog and constant companion back then was a red heeler. An amazing breed for all day everyday travels through the Great Basin Desert of Nevada. Keep the fun on camera and continue to share. Thanks again!
Very unique and awesome video I liked the galloping scenes from 0:55 to 2:28 specially at 1:54 that view from the top as you guys gallop by, so cool. Do more of mounted bushcraft. Thanks
I've been waiting for a conveyance based bushcraft channel, and now you have arrived! SUBSCRIBED.
Great to hear that you subscribed, Bushcraft Beats!
It isnt that long ago, that all men were as fast as the horses carrying them! it sure is a great way of transport, tho they dont have an on/off button! You will see more horse action in the future but also other stuff!
thanks for commenting! Dylan & Julius
I think people getting out on horseback into the back country is awesome and such a disappearing art. So important. I have nothing but respect for you guys. And just remember this......lots of horse snobs out there...... if all the members make it back in one piece? And you had fun? Your doing it right!
Thanks Bud! much appreciated! :) Cheers. Dylan
I love your music choices and those horses are beautiful
Thanks alot Dude! :)
I don't know why it took me so long to watch this one. It's a gem and what an adventure. Just learned to ride horseback last year and this is an inspiration. Great work!
The horse always gives a special element. - love
Breathtaking
Omg I love this channel and your horses. What you guys do is amazing the camera shots and the content. I love and admire that you love animals and nature I would love to do something like this someday. Keep up the amazing work. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite camping trips was a week-long adventure up in the mountains of New Mexico with my horse and some friends. I also slept in a hammock with a tarp and was privileged to enjoy the nightly meeting of a band of coyotes as they got together on a rise not far from me to swap stories. My horse didn't mind, as he was used to coyotes.
Liked in the first 20 seconds for the fantasy vibe 👍
Love this will def watch more.
You guys are real gansgters!
I like your channel, subscribed ;) Especially like that you have animals with you, companions. Hope you will be able to keep the channel going. Good luck and greetings from Hungary ;)
Great companionship is right!:) It's a pleasure bringing them with us, especially Jäger, the dog. Thanks for your supportive words! Julius
@@SmoothGefixt:
Awesome video, thank you very much!
Quick question: Where do those awesome Jackboots come from?
Ok guys now this is epic
Guys, I just found your channel and I´m really amazed how enjoyable your videos are. The footage is great and there is always such a lovely athmosphere. The humor between the two of you is very entertaining aswell. This is the second comment on youtube I´ve ever made, so be sure about it, that I´m really impressed. As I´ve rushed through your playlists, I really need to see more, new stuff from you guys now. Please continue your smooth work and I can tell, you have fixed my day. Peace.
very nice to hear Nicolas and thank you for the compliments!! Peace, Dylan
Whow! Your words put a big smile on my face, mate! Just your second comment;) what an honor! It's a little quite now with the camera's, but definitely some fresh content to come in the future. See you on the next one;) All the best, Julius
Well done, well conditioned horses. I can say, I loved jumping my horses too. Some really unique about feeling them load up and then spring through the air.
Wow....for once, UA-cam dropped something really, really cool into my feed. Great camera and composition work guys.
great dog! ho looks so happy!
Amazing Video. Beautiful horses and the German Shepperd was fast! Nice way to move in the woods...hope to see that kind of video again....greetings from Germany
Great way indeed, but also a little unpractical especially with housong the horses during the night;) Hopefully more iof this in the future. Cheers, Julius
I love that dog
Its pretty wild to think that this is how a majority of humans lived for thousands of years before cities and cars and the industrial revolution. Most human beings traveled by horseback (or on the back of a similar caliber pack animal like Alpacas or Donkeys) and they survived on the elements until they reached the next small village or local inn. They did what theu had to do to survive and make it to rheir destination. Even scholars, kings, emporers and merchants had to travel this way. It was the only way to travel from place to place over a very long distance. Whole families would ravel by horseback through mountains, rivers, snow and rain to get where they needed to be.
Its just so amazing there are people who still do it and keep that part of humam history alive in the modern day!
This is life ❤
Love the channel guys! Over in the states, I just like being able to see you guys do what you love. Keep it up!
nice one:)
This vdo with your dog remind me of the dog at the stable.He always followed the horse wherever the horse go. :)
That music when putting up camp is the same music Mr.Sark uses when he is being chased in a video game or something risky is happening. I felt my blood pressure rise throughout that scene, on edge like a mountain climber.
Just started watching and I already love it you have a new subscriber 🙃
Nice one Coy! glad you like it! Cheers. Dylan
Looks like fun
Beautiful ride
I wachted this film with tante Carla (you remember who she is?). She admires it very much and all the work you had to do for this. She will recommend you tube to her children. Geweldig!

Very different than how we do it. Interesting. Ireland is very green! Looks like you guys had fun!

Favourite UA-cam channel!!!!! Cheers from Australia
spotted Juleuse`s love to lentils
just want to notice that pearl barley is also good and fillfulling base for soups
so call Scottish vegetable soup with pearl barley and celery is my favorite
Nothing can beat the nutritional value of some lentils WITH barley;)
@@SmoothGefixt ye that would be super nutritional
Oh yes please sir kindly thank you 😀🏇🐎🏇🐎🏇
Yeah, all that traditional gear is romantic but there are modern innovations that make it a lot easier on the horse.
That's just me. I have a lot of empathy for animals.
Inspiring journey! I love it!
Truly brilliant! Lovely content, sending positivity from the states!
Thank you Josh!:) Positive is good:) all the best, Dylan
Im shure thus ıs amazing riding
I love your channel! Keep up the great vids.
Horses too?? Omg 😍
It attracts more girls;) Haha, kidding. Horses
i love how legit that black horse in the intro is shiting hahaha
Nice channel! I like looking nature, explore and loosen up...
Much like ourselves!:)
More horseback bushcrafting, please!!
I love ur channel guys like it so much hope to see more adventurous video of you guys ciao from indonesia 😁
Thanks Jason! Weekly uploads are nack;)
The fact that they rode the horse for one scene then turned around to pick up the camera for every shot🤣
Een Nederlands bushcraft account MET paarden. What a time to be alive
This was great you should do it again
Cool, vakwerk hoor!!
One of our first followers!! thank you Betty! Julius & Dylan
Did you guys lease your horses and how long have to actually ridden? To me I would be suprised if you guys took like max. 10 classes and just set off. :D
Edit: 4:35 I recommend lifting the stirrups up and putting them in the "lock" so the saddle won't be as damaged and the horses won't spook.
Skvělé video máte zálesácké zkušenosti. Nejtěžší je tohle nafilmovat pořád zastavovat a nastavovat kameru. Máte dobrý cit pro filmování kamerou a střih. Nádherné záběry jsem nadšen.
Thanks alot man ! Kind words according to google Translate:) cheers, Dylan
geweldig jongens! prachtig samenspel in prachtige video! the best one till now!
sharp pictures and great animals!
Bedankt Judith!
hopefully we will excell it again! ;)
we are pretty happy the way it turned out. tho it was hard to realize our idea's, and the managing of the camera's on horseback is difficult!
Dylan & Julius
