TA Outdoors great video you are welcome for all the hard work that you have put into the channel you don't need to thank us you should thank your self for all the hard work that YOU!! Have put into all the videos keep it up Harri
I really like the shelter design, and I'm really pleased seeing you use natural cordage. I hope we'll get more videos like this one int the near future. Great job mate and keep it going✌️
You're officially my favourite bushcrafter now. Production value, content quality, and your hosting are all on point. The time you've invested in uping your game has really paid off, bro. These bushcraft wild camping vids are always my favourites, though digging the other content as well. Love it when your dad comes along too, you guys are great together. My chihuahua and I are big fans! ❤
A big leap forwards in both production values and style. A high contrast shallow dof cinematic feel which looks great coupled with the silent primitive technologies presenting style which works
Excellent video! The descriptive second half was great, but I really did enjoy the silent part in the beginning too. It made me feel like I was actually there going through the experience myself.
I know it’s a older vid, but I’m just getting to it. I’m very surprised that it had low viewing. But this vid is one of my favorites. Very educational, oh and I love the bugs 🐜 Info. Most channels I support don’t ever talk about them. 👍
With the Beer You got your grains. :) This is a very productive time of year in the Bush, Berries , Tree Fruits, Greens, and Proteins. Love it. Lavender, Cedar Bark, Sage can be used also for smokin those flying bloodsuckers. Congatulations on 100,000! You and your Dad have earned it.
Here is a tip. You might want to consider planting trees or cultivating your resources. I used up all the material in my back yard and now I don't even have enough wood for fire. Since your cutting down a lot on dead standing wood you might want to consider felling a few live big tree and planting resources below that way you don't run out of resources in your area. - Josh
ALL of your videos are so informative, Mike. The close-up filming (especially, the ugly varmints) and editing was excellent. These two activities are what make your videos superior to most other outdoor/bushcraft UA-camrs, IMHO. Thanks for all of your hard work in bringing us these videos.
Hi Mike, i really enjoyed your video, your filming and editing are inspiring to watch, i think i need to up my game lol. I hope you don't mind if i could share a couple of tips, i am not trying to teach you how to suck eggs or anything like that, just some that may help you out in your future camps. Regarding the natural cordage, when working with coniferous roots, i have found, if you first dry out the roots either naturally or by the heat of a fire, their longevity will increase, as any natural fiber which is used straight from harvesting will shrink over time,( shrinkage occurs greatest upon first drying) thus making your cordage weak, and that could have disastrous consequences for you at a later date, i e. you go back in a few weeks, and try to use the bed again. Also rather than twisting them up into cordage, which is time consuming, if you instead braid them into a 3 strand ply(like girls use to braid their hair) you will be able to make the cordage up quicker, saving on time. I have made 10 feet in less than an hour by braiding the roots. Another tip regarding the smudge fires, i noticed that you put them out in front of your shelter set up, and the breeze was blowing the smoke away from the bed, an alternative to this would be to put them under the bed set up, like the native Aboriginals from Australia do, to keep biting mosquito's at bay, by allowing the smoke to permeate up through the bed structure. Lastly(you say thank god, he can go on a bit) a tip for your bannock, rather than putting the Brambles/Black berries through your dry mix, then adding water, then kneading the mixture, resulting in a purple bannock, i make the dough up first then add the berries to the dough, by folding them in gently, and when cooked you break open the hot bannock, revealing the squidgy luscious cooked fruit (aaaarrggghhh! hhmmm hot Bannock). Sorry about that i just had a Homer Simpson moment there, and drooled all over my key board. Anyway i digress, please don't take my comments as criticisms, they are just merely the mumblings of a Bushcraft anorak. And thank you again for the delightful video. All the best. Cheers Stuart. (Subbed)
Thanks for taking your time to share with us a wonderful vedoe enjoyed watching it's great to see you out and about wish you all the very best my friend
Don’t get UA-cam, didn’t come across this in my subscription list but it just appeared this evening and wow! I’m glad it did, one of my favorite videos so far Mike. It had a bit of everything, the filming was superb (obvious limitations of camera), loads of info, some great skills and I love your sense of humor too! Brilliant!
TAFishing now we need mike to put some of the magic of TA OUTDOORS into TA FISHING 🎣 ! Get both channels buzzing :) i know mikes busy doing alot but i know if TA FISHING was filmed like TA OUTDOORS it would do better because its a fabulous channel .
Probably the most educational/informational vid I've watched! On my 2nd go around. Thanks!! I'll need to watch it a few more times, especially the first 25 minutes!
TA Outdoors to be fair every one of your videos are truly amazing, I download them to watch on holidays and car journeys etc even after watching them 3 times, they are amazing, thankyou!!
The raised shelter is amazing, I love the quality of your videos and content. The land you are using is more than beautiful, reminds me of the eastern provinces of Canada, which I do not get to visit as often as I like,
Great video Mike. I really enjoy watching the videos of the times you send fishing with your dad, it reminds me of the years spent fishing and camping with my father.I cherish these times looking back. Best wishes to you both.
I posted on your UA-cam discussion page asking if you'd be willing to make a video for us beginners. Love your work and talent on the videos you do bud. Keep up the outstanding work! Really inspiring me to get out and do some solo overnights in the Grasslands not far from where i live.
I just happened to stumble upon your channel and when I did, I had no choice but to subscribe, I love bushcraft, and you do a killer job with your videos, thank you for your content and keep up the good work!
Cheers. Really nice video, mate. Well made. Hurt my back taking down some ash in the woods this weekend, so I couldn't do any bushcrafting. But then I watched this instead. Thanks.
I just love how educational your videos are... You know both the outdoors and about those that dwell there. I definately learned alot about these insects, having a deeper appreciation for them while camping now.... ALOHA
Subbed about a month ago. Binge watching. Thank you for this one. I learned a lot about how to use the natural resources to our advantage. Never thought of making rope out of tree roots before or the bug torches. Makes me wanna get out there & try my skills at doing the same. Thank you!!
I love the shelter! Ive seen this built on a few different channels and I absolutely love it. You did a great job although as you said it does take a lot of time but well worth it. Only thing I would add is they make a mosquito net that hangs from your ridge pole down like a triangle and covers you completely inside of it from all bugs at night that might get on you but you might not think it necessary which is ok as well. I just thought I would mention as I was commenting and you probably already know that. Great job and keep the videos coming. I also just love you and your dad doing things together and I wish I could get my son to do that with me as well! Take Care Mike!
Amazing video, excellent editing as usual. I like the idea of a solo adventure but it always helps to have a person behind the camera and helping to set the camp up too. Give your father a hand with filming and editing over on TA Fishing, I'd love to see you apply the same style of editing to his channel.
Great vid Mike, thanks, always love your content, learnt a couple of new things on this one, the 2 sticks for stripping the roots and the feather stick technique for holding bannock on the stick! Great stuff. Will try this, keep up the awesome work!!
Thanks for another fine adventure, Mike, but please watch where your chips are flyin'; you almost took me eye out @ 2:51! ;^) I'm wondering why you lashed the cross bars inside the tripod legs instead of outside. I would think doing it that way would put more stress on the cordage than the other way.
That camera work is amazing-I watch on a really good all in one touchscreen HD PC from HP,and that footage is absolutely fantastic,crystal clear and really beautifully shot!.Congrats on the 100k,too-you've earned it! Up here in the north,the main problem is bloody slugs-they're literally thousands of them everywhere I go,not that bothered,but bothered enough that it keeps me off the ground,and up in the hammock!If I put a groundsheet and bags down down,they're all over it,and even after checking end up with quite a few in my bag,if I leave stuff on the ground.Never seem to see other people having the same issue.
Wicked video watched it off last video/movie I'm amazed I hadn't seen it but wasn't in my watched list. Love what your doing and ya dad love TA Fishing.
Excellent quality video thank you! You should try coffee made from blackberry roots, wash about a small handful of the tiny roots and simmer in hot water. Tastes really good, I like it with some sugar.
Hay Mike, really fascinating job here, many things of interest, education and skills. It was loaded with useful tips that I will most certainly employ. Your filming was A+ as usual and you married a few filming styles very nicely. Always greatly appreciate your Host demeanor and want you to know yours is the most diversified content all through 1 source to enjoy and benefit from. Warm Regards from Oregon, take care Pal, ... Mike.
Good Lord above! Please sharpen that club you call a camp axe! :-P ;-) On another note your cinematography is really approaching the next level! Great video!
great video ! just a tip when you make your raised platform put the horizontal limbs on top of the tripods not underneath the support legs. the root lashings were holding all your weight not the tripod legs . Thanks for sharing!
A longer video for you, I hope you enjoy it and thanks for 100K Subs - Mike
TA Outdoors great video you are welcome for all the hard work that you have put into the channel you don't need to thank us you should thank your self for all the hard work that YOU!! Have put into all the videos keep it up Harri

I like this silent approach in the video. As always, very relaxing to watch.

TA Outdoors is like my bedtime story. I always watch before sleeping...keep it up.
Excellent video! The descriptive second half was great, but I really did enjoy the silent part in the beginning too. It made me feel like I was actually there going through the experience myself.
Thanks for folk like you - a great video, better than anything on telly - taoutdoors and tafishing are superb 👍

Out here in Cali
For every tree we cut down we grow,two more
Good bush-crafting you do I enjoy it, learn from you. Good cooking, always looks real good. Good people and no dog. Tks Mike.
Getting better and better Mike.
I like how you mix up the subject matter.

This video has re-freshed my forgotten bushcraft skills . Cracking vid mate
I love watching your videos. The music and the photography are excellent. Very professional. Keep up the great work.

What a great video. Loved the way you showed everything you were doing. I learned a thing or two anyway. Thanks bro.
You've got some serious bushcraft skills - love your videos!!!!! Congrats on 100,000!!!!!!!!
Thanks for another fine adventure, Mike, but please watch where your chips are flyin'; you almost took me eye out @ 2:51! ;^)
I'm wondering why you lashed the cross bars inside the tripod legs instead of outside. I would think doing it that way would put more stress on the cordage than the other way.
Love this video. Especially the nature shots. Congrats on 106K subs!
