just started watching your videos, i love to see people like you who are so committed to doing what they enjoy and living in accordance with that! it is inspiring. God bless
You could use the wool blankets to make my wearable sleepingbag thsts double walled so you can stuff it with improvised insulation like leaves, boughs etc. it would take up half the weight and space as all those blankets but be more useful
In regards to the broken handle on your pan, I say a guy who had a pan like yours and he would notch a handle out of a tree branch. He figured it save a little weight and the thickness of his saw was the right width for the groove in the limb to fit the pan. Great set up! A bit jealous here!
Looking forward to seeing the finished video! Great idea on the hand warmers to keep the phone warm. That’s quite the load out for a hike, so it’s good it’s a short one. I 100% agree on taking a reliable and fast means of personal protection, going out alone with predators nearby. I watch a Scottish channel that does some historical camping from the 17th century, but he usually takes a camera man or another you tuber with him. How often would frontiersmen in the west be out alone?
I got the hand warmers idea from the Outdoor Boys channel, can’t claim the good idea as my own. I’ll probably end up taking this stuff in three loads. I took a couple blankets and a few other things today… The Scottish guy is great, I was thinking of him too. On the frontier there were often guys alone. My main inspiration writes of many trips he made by himself.
My coffee pot from that uk shop that you recommended arrived today.. just as I run out of my good coffee. Can't wait to try it out at home next week and on a smaller trop probably next month
@@OverOnTheWildSideI used to live next to a rostary a few years back so I'm kinda addicted to freshly roasted coffee. Nowadays I usually order online from rozalicoffee or similar shops. The roast usually isn't older than maybe a week or so when you order at a good shop.
@@orangeblack1285 very nice. You’re making me think I should go back to grinding my coffee each time I make it. Now that there is more sunshine I guess I could do that…
I love the process of minimilising your kit, my next camp will be a car camp but i will be sure to limit myself to a medium size pack and not just fill my car with stuff i wont need.
Like the channel 👍, you were asking for ideas for your channel this camping trip is a great idea, and Id like to see some more of the camp fire cooking 🍳 with different recipes really enjoyed thos videos
Thanks, I’m surprised at how much the cooking videos are liked. The problem is I’ve minimized my diet big time. Right now I have beef from one I butchered so it’s pretty much just that and sometimes bread and rice. But maybe this spring I can throw in some native edibles…
@@OverOnTheWildSide understandable slim pickins right now, the bread making videos by the open camp fire were great and all videos were you were camping by the fire were great as well really enjoyed. A lot of people don't have the strength or capabilities to live free off the land like your doing, its great to see, hard work but looks worth it
Roughly 5 pounds apiece, so 20 pounds altogether. Which is fine for horseback but for trekking makes them pretty impractical. Didn’t you cover that in one of your videos?
@@dallasfl no problem, I don’t mind questions. I find them on Fb marketplace primarily. $50 is a good deal now, $100 is fairly common. I definitely wouldn’t go over $100 myself though.
Someone who doesn’t pay for UA-cam, let me know if you see ads that aren’t skippable and if there’s any mid-video. Thanks
One ad at beginning that was shippable and no ad in the middle.
@@vonschmidt2024 thanks, that’s good to hear.
Same!
Watching you from SE Asia....no Ads at all.
@@jackharper3190 that’s pretty cool! And thanks
Great to see you again Richard!!!! No commercials/ads. I cant wait to see the upcoming trip buddy!!! Nice and minimal. Take care my friend!🤠
Thanks Peter!
@OverOnTheWildSide you're very welcome buddy!!!
just started watching your videos, i love to see people like you who are so committed to doing what they enjoy and living in accordance with that! it is inspiring. God bless
Thank you, I appreciate hearing that kind of thing.
Cant wait for the camping. I know it will be awesome…have fun!
Love your videos man! Super inspiring makes me want to get out into the wild for a weekend.
Thank you, hopefully we each get out to the wilds soon.

I think I’d just do that with linen. But I love the things you develop.
As soon as you mentioned coffee beans i remembered i hadnt had my morning java... thanks - i needed that reminder. i paused the vid and made a cup.
My videos go better with coffee anyway, so I’m glad that worked out.

A bit jealous here!
That’s a neat idea, I’ll have to give that a try. Thanks

Cool, it’s much more relaxing in my opinion. As long as the essentials are handy.

@@jonathonl1220 thanks I appreciate that
Maybe put some insulation between the phone and the hand warmers to avoid overheating the phone. Those things probably get over 50°C
Good idea
Nice kit. What is the total weight of blankets?
Roughly 5 pounds apiece, so 20 pounds altogether. Which is fine for horseback but for trekking makes them pretty impractical.
Didn’t you cover that in one of your videos?
Great video!
Thank you
What size wool blankets did you procure Sir.
About 6’ x 7.5’
Much obliged to you.
Another question if you don't mind where might I find these. I've thought about fairbault mills or hudson bay blankets.

I’m ready
