3 DAY WINTER WILDERNESS TRIP at the LEAN TO BUSHCRAFT SURVIVAL SHELTER BASE CAMP
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- I spent 3 days camping in about a foot of snow at the lean to base camp. I also finished off the back wall for the second lean to using a tarp and pine bows. My food consisted of chicken, steak, broccoli and cheddar rice, eggs, oat meal, power bars, dehydrated apples, bananas, and oranges. After getting the tarp covered in pine bows to help catch snow and provide camouflage I move the front wall of the lean to the right side of the new shelter. As far as weather is concerned I got some light snow during the first night, and consistent rains during the second. The days where pretty decent as I just got some random light snow and sunshine.
The first day consisted of digging out snow, gather and processing firewood with my folding saw as well as uncover the fire pit where it had been built previously. It's not until day 2 that I start on finishing off the second shelter, and day three for moving the front over to the new lean to. The fire pit was shifted about 2 feet to the right of it's previous location so that it will be centered between the two front walls.
I have also done a little preparation for the next trip by stocking the second shelter with wood. Currently the shelter acts as a storage location, giving me more room inside the initial lean to. I gathered a few pine logs before I left so that I can start on the side walls during the next adventure to the base camp!

Hi, here Antonius from the live chat we had. Great to see you out again..!
good to see you back. Ive been waiting and its a long video yay
Antonius!!! Awesome having a comment from you :) Thanks my friend!
Hey mokeebear, thanks for watching. I miss chat :D Thanks for the comment!
@@EscapeAdventures I enjoyed the chat session we had. So great to see you back
A very beautiful place to be - harsh but beautiful with outdoors yummy food, Cheers
I have been involved in bushcraft and survival for over 30 years now, and I follow many bushcraft channels on YT.
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I subscribed within minutes of watching you!
I was super impressed by the fact that your video is more about the bushcraft than the equipment you have, which in my opinion is what it should be about!
Sadly so many bushcraft videos seem to put people off, due to the fact that they seem to suggest that you need to spend a small fortune on equipment!
Fair play to you Sir, very impressed indeed, all the best for the UK.
👍 😉
So awesome! Thank you, i really appreciate your feedback, sub, and comment :)
Nice to see you again I like watching your videos!!
Very pleasant. Enjoyable.
I enjoy the building project and watching the cooking !
Awesome, thank you!
Hello,
First time viewer but a long time camper. If you're looking for some suggestions for improvements I'll give you a few to start you off.
First get yourself some "SmartWool" socks very comfortable and very warm. Also get yourself some thinsulate boots. They're lightweight and waterproof and pretty warm. After you buy your boots waterproof them yourself with beeswax or snow seal. Take the lid off and light it on fire and then put the lid on to put the fire out. The wax will be nice and melted so that you can take a rag and buff it into the leather and the seams. At night take your boots and stick them in a plastic bag and put them at the bottom of your sleeping bag that way they won't freeze overnight and the plastic bag will keep the mud and debris out of your sleeping bag. Next get yourself a high-quality Bushcraft knife. You really need a knife that has a tag (handle end of the blade), all the way through the handle. I would also recommend something that's pretty hefty so that you can do more splitting with it. I made my own sheath for my knife and incorporated a fire starter and small container that holds cotton balls with Vaseline. That combination will light a fire even when it's raining.
I really enjoyed your video and look forward to others. I like how you work through the different problems and keep improving your designs. You remind me of me when I was younger. Ha ha. 🤣🤣
Keep up the good work and I hope your channel grows.
Great job! You’re the only one that makes a good consistency oatmeal and mashed potatoes. Great ideas
Awesome video
Good to see you brother and I'm glad to see you are back in the woods
Thanks Robert!
love the survival shelter and the food nice
Thank you, glad you enjoyed :)
Great video, thanks for sharing.... It's good to see you back at it again. Looking forward to seeing more up coming videos ✌️😎
Thanks, i had a great time. Can't wait to get out again :)
Bushcraft videos are the best, and so relaxing.
You have a new subscriber.
Eugene Motes Pennsylvania.😊
This is the first video I've seen of yours, and props to you using what you have and roughing it out there. Yeah, some guys have all the nicest of tools, gear, etc. but we, the viewers, mostly don't have all of that, so seeing you do it in a minimalist way, and still have a comfortable setup, that's cool, man! Hey, I'd not use super glue the next time you do your repair, instead I'd use some 2 part epoxy that won't come apart. Anyhow, looking forward to seeing some of your earlier videos. Have a good one!
Thanks for watching :)
Great to see you back out there. Keep the videos and live feeds coming. Interested in hearing more about your story. Would you be interested in doing gear reviews if people sent you gear to test out? If so, where/how would we send it?
Awesome, thank you! I am interested in gear reviews but still working on getting the PO box set up. Thanks for commenting :)
Good one dude. Enjoy the shots of all fauna sharing the time and habitat while you enjoy too. atb
Cool, glad you enjoyed. Really appreciate your comment :)
I love these longer videos. Keep going!!
Awesome, i like them just the same :) Thanks for the support!
Awesome video Escape Adventures
Thanks man!
Wow! What an adventure. Sad to see this video end!
Thanks man, did you get that tent yet? Really appreciate the comment!
Just came across your channel. Love your videos.
I enjoy the longer camping/bushcraft videos like this one. Subscribed!
Awesome!!! Thank you so much. I really enjoy making the longer videos as well :)
Hey.. hows my favorite bushcraft adventurer..Love your camp..I feel I could live there..Your cooking always make me hungry..Great job at everything you are doing..Keep on keeping on...
I enjoy watching multiple night camp outs.
You made me laugh when your boots were frozen as it happened to me years back; however I had an extra pair of shoes (slippers) as that is always a must. Was able to get a fire going to thaw out the boots.
You should have used your pan to clear the snow out from the lean to vice the stick which took longer and much more energy.
Your doing well.
Lol, i know what you mean about the shoes. Just don't want to ruin my hiking shoes before the summer :) btw... good point, i though about moving the snow after watching the video. Good catch. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed! Thanks, hope to see more!
Thanks for watching and commenting :)
nice vid liking the reno operation,still laughing about the frozen boots look on the bright side
if you had to you could use your sox like a boomerang to catch food.
Boomerang socks :) good idea, lol.
You should make a tea with the orange peels. Nice camp, nice video. Cheers from Brazil!
man you have a great positive attitude
Thank you. I do the best i can :)
ALRIGHT, back at it. good to see you.
Thanks Henry. Appreciate you watching man! Thanks for the comment :)
I love. Your enthusiasm!! I subscribed and rang the bell, lol.
Thank you!
GOOD MAN, right to the end.
Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated :D
Superb production and filming mate, I'm quitting temporarily at 20 mins, I know its one of the best parts, just when you get the fire going but don't worry about the duration stats, I will be back to watch it all again in completeness, its late here I need to find some more time to enjoy in full, your epic adventure. If you have had some critical comments, well when did armchair 'know it all's' know about anything. You are out there, discovering and enjoying life. You are a strong man, total respect to you from England UK. Be sure of my support I'll be back soon.
Awesome, thanks for watching :)
you will soon be back in your armchair watching it in full some critical comments help if some things are wrong he needs to know and he may improve on his experience
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, adventure, and thoughts about how to solve problems with what you have. I understand not having a lot of money or equipment, but its about enjoying the whole experience and money doesn't matter when you are willing to work with what you have instead of worrying about not having what others may have or think you should have. I have learned so much from watching this episode. First time finding your channel and I just subscribed. Really want to tell you about the awesome job you do filming and editing your adventures. I've watched a few different episodes of other people's winter camping trips and they don't even begin to be as genuine as yours even though they have the best of everything. Keep plugging along the viewership will catch up. I will share this channel with friends and family. If you don't have a power box maybe you can ask a friend or family member to use their's, until you are in a better position financially. People seem to have the best intentions of trying to help you out with donated equipment and or costs associated with your great exploits that you share with the world. Myself I have become 100 percent disabled a few years ago and no longer can do this sort of things and I live vicariously through your videos. Again thanks and best of health, wealth and spiritual support from myself and family. Keep plugging along doing your thing l see the channel subscribers exploding this year for you.
Hey Leon, thanks for the positive feedback. I really appreciate you watching and sharing your insight :)
I am not sure why but I mostly watch videos like these for the keeping warm and inside tent shots... and when u first wake up in ur sleeping unit.
I am sure I am not alone lol
Nice Bushcraft skill, so good
Thanks you! Glad you enjoyed!
Hey I love your videos...keep them coming...was going to ask or maybe suggest...if you get some hand warmer and put them in your boots over night ...or a hot stone....might help with the stiff cold boots in the morning....but anyways always enjoy your videos:)
Hey!! Yay a video. Im glad to see you out again. Missed your videos. Hope to see you on a live vid. :-)
Hey Katrina, thank you!
Hey man, back at it again I see! Awesome! I popped in to a few live streams of yours, but it seemed like you were busy doing some other stuff haha.
Love the addition man, it's looking good! Soon you'll have a huge bush camp out there! Here I am still waiting for the warmer weather to start my camp and you're crafting away on yours through the snow, awesome! I'll have to catch up haha.
Cheers bud, keep the videos coming. You're getting better with each video!
Thank you! Really appreciate the positive feedback :) I think i would have lost my mind if i would have had to sit inside for another day longer. Sorry if i missed you on stream btw.
Finish and seal the lean-to , keep the elements out ! 🇬🇧
I like having the ventilation for smoke but many people want to see the front wall gaps completely sealed. Snow and rain have never really bothered me on the bench, but i might completely enclose everything if i take another trip to that area. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Hope to see some more videos soon bud
Nice video.greetings from germany
Cool thanks. Germany is awesome! Appreciate your comment :)
I love the music...
Hey EA! I do love to watch your videos and can't seem to find any favorite parts. Have you thought of traveling to more southern areas for camping adventures? You might enjoy the milder temperatures!
Thanks, and yes. It would be great to travel :)
I have to applaud the effort you made to produce this video. Also, as a tribute to Mother’s Day, I will go ahead and take on the roll of “Worst Mother Ever to Take Along Camping”.
1.) The super glued knife just … just NO. Drop in in the nearest river, ocean or cesspool. That thing is going to hurt you. It only takes one slip for a day of camping to turn into the worst day ever in the woods. I know what it means to be on a tight budget, but, I have found very nice knives in the local thrift stores that only needed a bit of TLC to be fully functional again. My best kitchen knife cost a whole 75 cents.
2.) When camping, you have invaded the home of other critters. Not sure where you were, but I assume either Canada or Northern United States. Mostly they are nocturnal, but, some visitors probably called on you without you even knowing it. The last thing you want to do is wake up to, a bob cat, cougar, bear, badger, raccoon or even a skunk sorting through the plastic bags in your shelter looking for the tasty snack it smells. Nor will you want to be between whatever critter and it’s menu choice. Keep your food policed up, put it in a sealed bag, hang it from a tree. Don’t go to sleep with dirty dishes emanating inviting lingering scents in your camp.
3.) Do you have a first aid kit?
4.) Do you know when you are on the edge of hypothermia? Confusion is one of the early signs, and bad decisions can come of that confusion.
5.) We are a society mostly separated from the natural world. We have to re-learn these things. Take the time to learn from those who really know and have the credentials to prove it.
Our friends will always tell us we are are awesome and wonderful. But, that won’t keep us alive when the chips are down. I’ll have to admit, I was worried about you after the first demonstration of the sawing skills.
Carry koolaid but no folding shovel.?
Is that the powdered drink mix to save weight.?
Would make sense.
Good Video...
Parabéns broo pelo vídeo! Um grande abraço do Brasil!
Lovely video - we did not really have any winter this year, just two days of snow in total... Thanks for sharing, left a sub to see what else is coming up :)
That’s nuts!
Was an awesome trip :)
Just love your video's you do so much with so little.....Some of these big survival youtubers should subscribe and watch what you achieve !!!!….Why you do not have thousands more subscribers beats me...Cheers from Inverness.Scotland
Awesome man, thanks. Many people say the same thing. Scotland is awesome, hope to vacation there someday :)
I watched a video by someone else who camps over the winter. They put their boots in plastic bags and then put them in their sleeping bags. It kept the boots wearable the next morning.
Hey brother!! Thought you were going to stay out there in the woods lol! Good to see you when you going to do a live stream?
CRD, how have you been!!! Great to have a comment from you!!! Thanks you for the support my friend. Thanks for the welcoming me back. The video took forever to create. Hoping to do a live stream soon. Still trying to regain those subs back, lol.
@@EscapeAdventures I see you have picked some of them subs back up! You looked so happy to be out there! I do enjoy the live chat to get to know you better!!!
Thanks, i'll try to find the time for a stream soon! I've got to get to been soon. Been waiting for this upload for over 12 hrs today.
Welcome back EA! I was wondering how you went. Just starting video now. Cheers!
Hey Evan! hope you liked the video! Cheers!
@@EscapeAdventures Really good!.. I watched the whole lot in one hit...
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it! Really appreciate your comment :)
Good to see you back on track. Maybe next time bring extra shoes so you can put your boot by the fire to get them dried out.
I definitely need to get some camp shoes. Just don't want to ruin my hikers before the summer :)
When you ate your steak and potatoes I couldn't help but notice how tender your steak was. May I ask what cut of meat it was? - A brand new subscriber
Welcome to the channel! I think it was a flat iron steak, can't remember for sure. Usually i get a NY strip or a sirloin.
@@EscapeAdventures Thanks for the prompt reply. On my way to the meat market! lol
You never go wrong whit superglue 🤣❤️
hahaha... thanks for recognizing that. I thought i was going to get crap for it, lol. Surprisingly only one person had an issue with me doing that. It makes perfect sense to me :)
For Real? narh like you Said you work whit what you Got and what you want ty for a nice video ✌️
I don't see one with you, But, Did you get a dog to come with you on your trips ? Been awhile since I saw you from last time.
I'm dirt poor, lol. But i hope to get a dog someday. That would be awesome :)
@@EscapeAdventures I like you I wish the best for you, Prayers and stuff.
Thanks man. You're awesome, really appreciate the kind feedback :)
Were you ever warm or comfortable in that shelter
Yes, this was an awesome trip. I'll never forget it :D Thanks for commenting!
Hi buddy.... with the bust knife, i'd try and melt some of the plastic surrounding the blade that might help.
Good idea. I ended up getting a mora garberg shortly after. Such an awesome knife... full tang :)
Sweet knife.......should last a long time.
Hey EA. How's it going! You going to do anymore live streams?
Oh man what a spoon
Did you make an Amazon wishlist?
No, many things i would put on it though :)
@@EscapeAdventures so make one.
Hello EA , once again a super video, man I can't get enough of your adventures, I was really looking forward to this one. Great job as usual EA please keep them coming. I sent you a Pay Pal donation I hope that it helps, if you could please let me know that you received it I would really appreciate it.Thanks John P
Hey John, I didn't notice you contribution until after i shot the video. Really appreciate your support! Thank you, this really helps me out big time.
That's great, I am putting money aside for you so hopefully I will be able to send you the same amount ever couple of months, It was so great to see you out there where you can really enjoy yourself. Thanks again John P
John, that is so awesome man. Do you want a video 'special thanks'? I never know if people want to be mentioned for privacy reasons or not. Just let me know and i'll eventually thank you in a video :D Anyway, thanks for your support!
Sure a shout out to John P would be fine by doing this hopefully your other subs will be encouraged to help out with these great adventures.I know that it costs a good buck for gas, food and your gear, that's why I'm happy to support you and these great videos.Take care John P
You got it, i'll give you a special thanks in an up and coming video!
Enjoyed the video! Glad to see you deal with the elements! You need to invest in snow shoes bro. You could also use them for shoveling if you don't want to buy a light shovel. Also, you need better boots and non-cotton synthetic clothing. Water and coldness is a dangerous combo.
Cool, thanks for the comment :) I would definitely have better/more gear if i could afford it. Thanks for watching.
I hear you. It’s a shame. Equipment costs money. I have a fifteen-year old son who earned $350 one weekend shoveling snow. He didn’t even work half the day. He used the money to buy better equipment and he’s making more money. You are a hard worker and have skills. Have you ever thought about getting a short job? The equipment we’re talking about isn’t all that much money. In fact, you may be able to find some used stuff if you’re hurting that bad. Besides, you have plenty of time to work if you have time to spend days and nights sleeping in the woods.@@EscapeAdventures
You should get snowshoes and water purifier.
Wish i could but i'm poor, lol.
Why staying outside with one's nose running like that?
It's fun :)
you talk about the dollar store im sure they sell space blankets also why dont you use fir boughs for the inside of your shelter it may stop your boots from freezing . btw i am from Ireland .
Hey thank for the comment. I would love to have some fur for the shelter. Maybe this winter :)
Bro why you fucked up your little hut at the end. That was silly. Overall a very enjoyable watch, thanks. Subbed
I was making it bigger, i expand on it in the following video. You can watch it in the playlist if you want :) Cool channel icon btw :)
@@EscapeAdventures thanks bro. All the best👍
I can guarantee a big improvement in overall experience if you swap out the jeans for a pair of KUIU Attack pant or FirstLite Kanabs.
Cool, i'll have to check them out :)
Great video. Dude you gotta ditch the cotton denim jeans though, especially in the winter months.
I'm saving up for some decent outdoor clothing :)
Why do you wast super glue on a mora? Buy another one... they are affordable!
just saving for gas monet at that time :)
Great videos I'm new at this as well but brother better equipment needed . Can't use Mora basic or craftline for batoning. They are crafting knives . Your boots not the best to have leather in winter. They have thinsulate water proofed and up to - 40 and -50 ones as well . Your saws I would invest in silky saws the big boy 2000 professional is awesome and the gomboy is awesome with these 2 you won't struggle. Your clothes under armor long johns and fjallraven bush craft pants or bill bill merino wool pants are awesome I found. Keep going your doing well just need some upgrades brother it will help.
Awsome video your footage is getting a lot better with the way u film ...do u have an address people can send gifts?
Thanks for the awesome comment. Still working on getting the PO box set up. A few people have asked so that is a very high priority :)
Much appreciated
You put your boots in the bottom of the sleeping bag at night to keep them from freezing solid.
Hope you don't forget your snow shovel next time its no wonder you were sweating.
Looks like Bigfoot territory lot of signs!!
이정도로 먹고살기는 힘들겟네!~재미로 하는거라면 모르겟지만.
👍
YES!!
bonne santé
you have a habit of pouring water into your cup while it is on your fire taking a risk of stumbling and pouring it on your fire or the cup tipping and the fire is out and water lost what if it took you an hour to get your fire going because everything was damp and it was the last of your water and you spill it on your fire and put it out so pour your water in the cup first then put it over your fire it takes no longer and you have less chance of losing your water or fire.and put warm rocks in your boots at night and put your socks in the bottom of your sleeping bag.
Bush craft black or Mora Garberg will process wood for you.
For sure, i have the Mora Garberg now. I was and still am kind of poor, lol. I love the Garberg, i did a video after this one at this shelter with it :) Thanks for the comment!
il aurait peu refaire sa cabane , renforcé le dessus , les cotés , faire une porte ,pour ne pas que la neige s'incruste à l'intérieur , le gars ne mas pas l'ère débrouillard , il aurait peu avoir une petite pelle, c'est la misère
He said he sweating lmao
first thing i would have done , would have been whittle a bloody spoon .
Looks like another UA-cam camping channel for arm chair survivalists
do what you want is why everyone watches
for us to see how much the trees are moving you need to hold the camera still not spinning round
Can't hear you speak louder please if you can!! Thank you kindly!!
i know bears are not about yet but smearing food on the frame of your shelter isn't very clever you need to clean everything of food smells
Why dollar store coffee at 53:25 ..... Order some Medaglia d'Oro Instant Espresso and enjoy that morning coffee like never before. ::
I'm kind of broke so dollar store coffee for me :)
Kool aid, - just make you more thirsty, drink water
Anybody needs a snow shovel?
lol, i definitely need one :)
I love your videos. Great work!
Please chew your food with your mouth closed. Please. It's very important.
note to self: chew with mouth closed. Lol, thanks for the comment :)
Güzel kamçılık ama cok konuşuyorlar
Teşekkür ederim! Biliyorum her zaman çok fazla konuşma eğilimindeyim.
You didn't have to use such heavy logs on that, what a waste of wood.
Dont you know how to make an all nite fire.
Those boots absolutely suck.
Look at Red wing thermal boots with elastic gaters to keep deep snow out. Look at what farmers wear.
The constant sniffling irritates me. The indeciciveness irritates me. You are way too uncertain about some of the things you need to do. i must commend you for having some remarkable skills though.
c'est vraiment lamentable même pas une fourchette , avec se qui à emmener comme nourriture dans ses pochettes c'est du n'importe quoi , il n'est pas à la hauteur du Bushcraft en solo , rentre chez toi
why did you show yourself drinking water? we know humans drink water
Note to self: Don't drink water on video :|
Try sawing slower longer strokes, work smarter not harder , conserve your energy , sweating is your enemy I the cold , every Boy Scout knows this , why don’t you, your making your self look stupid
