I head off into the woods for an overnight solo camping trip using my military poncho tent or Polish Lavvu as it is known as. This small canvas tent is great for camping in all conditions. I usually set the tent up with a centre pole made from a stick, however, this time I do it differently. Using some Primitive Bushcraft, I dig for tree roots and use these as natural cordage to tie together a tripod which supports the tent from the top and eliminates the need for a centre pole. This gives me much more room in the tent for my sleeping pad and backpack gear etc. I gather some firewood, light a fire and cook up a steak on the grill over the camp fire. I then talk about some of the gear that I use. The forest is so silent at night, it was eerily quiet, until the owls started hooting later in the evening. Listening to nature asmr was a great way for me to fall asleep. The following morning, I got the fire going again with some feather sticks and a ferro rod. Using some more Bushcraft and natural materials, I made a pot hanger to make a tea over the fire, before I packed up the camping gear and went back home. Thanks for joining me on the adventure! - Mike

Really love the Polish Military Canvas Poncho Tent - To think they made this in the 1970's too! It's a little heavy, but so practical for the time and it's definitely my favourite tent! Hope you enjoy the video guys!

Cant Wait To Watch Man :)
Enjoy buddy!
One idea for the website.. maybe sell some merchandise like tshirts, stickers, patches etc. Of course TA Outdoors logo on it 🤘 Love your videos! Keep up the good work 😋 Greetings from Sweden
TA Outdoors I think it would be an interesting POV and regular blog on your website, if you got Emmys insight on being a Bushcrafters wife. There must be scrafice and interesting stories from her perspective. Also, Jaxx doghouse, needs to be a feature as well, not sure what he would "TALK" about, but maybe a way for him to sponsor animal related camp gadgetry. Great work on this video, I like the cabin, and the base camp, but I really like seeing you in the bush. Keep it up mate.
TA Outdoors bro make a small journal like that one in rain / dirt proof paper and I'll buy it real quick and I'm pretty sure everyone else will too! Having it in my pocket while I'm out there would be convenient as hell cause I've been too lazy to make my own, and a good way to support you as well 👌👌
Make it happen Yo we'll do the rest 🙌
I've seen allot of survival videos and your the first person I've ever seen make lighting a fire with flint and steel look easy.... Many UA-cam survivalists do it every video even though they have a lighter in there pocket and struggle forever trying to light the fire but you spend a few minutes doing prep work and light the fire instantly everytime... I'm impressed! Love the video keep it up! Thank you!
Even a Norwegian like me, can appreciate the British wood lands. Thank you, keep up the good work:)
Mike, I can't tell you just how much I enjoy all your great videos. I always look forward to seeing them. I don't get to camp as much as I once did, and your videos are almost like I'm right there, camping with you! I hope your Dad is doing well- my best to both of you!
Thank you! You are a great model!!!!
You always have the best meals in camp.
Poncho collection i love
Loved the trick ( reverse the battery ) on the head lamp. Thanks .
The David Brent of bush craft.
Its growing because it's a good channel👍
i like the candle light lamp it is awesome
Awesome theme. I love the idea of theme camping
Mike i enjoy watching your videos.I learn alot.
Great video Mike, top notch production quality, and well shot. I like the tripod over the center pole for sure. I've been on the fence whether to pick up a canvas poncho shelter or go with a canvas tarp. Thanks for having us along!
You gotta love a polish laavu Robin hood coat/ tipi. I mean who wouldn't. Its the most awesome thing since sliced bread. I love mine.
Thanks a lot for this great video. Love this poncho. Something that could help to wear it is the string loop you have in your back (the one you have used for your candle). The first drawstring, as you have shown, is used to tighten the hood, but the second one, if you pull it, will make the poncho far more easiest to wear.
I did national service in Polish army year 2000-2001 and had to spend one night in Poncho tent You brought the memories back
Thanks for taking us alone.. it was a pleasure to join you.
Yes!
hey nick i like your channel been a subscriber since 101,000
Awesome Thanks For The Support
As soon as you started unwrapping your journal, before it came into view, i knew exactly what it was. I have exactly the same one. Did some writing in the woods Wednesday night myself actually. I found a spot by my favorite stream, set up camp, tested out some new gear (partly inspired by your kit), cooked some grub, hung my bear bag, and listened to (oddly enough) the owls. The babbling brook, and owl hoots were very peaceful, right up until the wolves started howling... i have the benefit of bringing my rifle with me. I don't shoot it much while camping. It does make me feel safer on my own.
Thank you for all you do Mike. I've always been a woodsman/ camper, but you and a few others online have given me some valuable insight, techniques, and gear recommendations. In the end it's all about getting out there where i don't have cell coverage, unplugging, and enjoying the great outdoors. I really enjoyed the video, the Poncho shelter, and the parallels, and differences. Oceans apart, but the same sky above. Thanks again Mike.
Another great video! Thanks Mike!
so peaceful💕
I LOVE that you journal! That's so Stoic. Manliness includes sensitivity! Great vid as always, Mike!
I lived in the UK for 4 years. We loved it,we found the people very friendly
Wow that journal is cool!
I like your title camping like Robin Hood. I'd be very interested in seeing historically accurate life in the wilderness.
Thank you for this video. Very interesting and informative.
Mate, that saw is definitely the way to go.
You look like Robbin Hood in your poncho. Awesome!
Another Great Video Mike, interesting and Engaging, keep them up please , Thanks, Robert.
Use mine in the winter when trekking with a sled. Awesome wind block. Digging into deep snow even one poncho can be a shelter. It is also canvas so one can get real cozy with a sleeping fire.
Always the very best!
Excellent Video. Thanks
My vote is for the "bushcrafting" and DIY videos. Thanks for posting!
I love your videos; but I wish they weren't so long. But I still watch them all.
Mike I love watching what ever you put up for us to watch. So go with what ever feels right to you and we will love it.
true! :)
Great Channel brother I'm sorry great Channel Friar Tuck stumbled across this video well watching your Viking videos God bless you son you are an inspiration thank you for your knowledge and expertise by the way I am 12 miles west of Detroit Michigan USA
What I'd like to see on your website: different ways of camping in nature, materials (natural, found, second hand, store bought), ways to make shelters, make fire, bushcraft, d.i.y., wild edibles, etc. ⛺
Great vid as always . Great option to make the lavvu more spacious without that centre pole . All the best to you and yours 👍
Slept in one of these in the rain in basic training years ago. As you noted, it takes two, so every person carries one and half of the stakes, then you set it up together and make it a very small two man tent.
All of those things sound good for a website. Maybe even a little forum thing where people can ask you questions👍
Great video, I enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing it. Greetings from Croatia....👍
Really cool video friend and knowledgable. thank you
Bring Jacks...and your Dad...he's great fun...nice man...reminds me of my Dad
That is one sweet saw you got there 👍🏻
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has ever blown up an air mattress by mouth. I love all your videos- I'm not picky about one subject over another.
Ran out of post card stamps , just made it home to Florida, wife is picking some up today at post office . Got a few cards to send you. Guess they will all arrive at the same time.
BALANCE, you tend you maintain it and inspire people to get back into nature. I have been showing your clips to my Boy Scout Troop. Thanks for your your effort!
I think Jaxx would love the camping ... he would love just hanging around with you ...
Very well done mike
I have two of these and have made the tent and slept in it in New Hampshire. Never thought to use the tripod method, great tip thanks. Its super heavy carrying both together but really good water protection especially if you use a water repellent.
I made a video on how to set up the lavvu as well, but thanks for showing how to wear it!
I used the U.S. Army version of the two poncho shelters throughout Vietnam and usually slept quite comfortably. Those shelters Ideally consisted of two ponchos, three empty mortar round boxes, one or two poncho liners, and an air mattress. However, we usually had to wait until later in the evening to fall asleep as "contact" usually initiated around 8:00 PM.
My brother and i love watching the super shelter videos, build another lol
Hi love your videos it is an inspiration for us and just wanted to say thank you and would like to se more of you guys make some video together with your dad and bushcraft Tools Dustin. And please little more fishing videos. Thanks
im aroud 6.5 ft high and when i was in military this poncho felt like it was made for me :D man it was briliant on rainy windy days.
Just a thought about what you can do for videos in the next year! Some that seem to go over well and I thoroughly enjoy, are those that reflect and demonstrate what life was like in the 17 and 1800's. People had to travel by horse or by foot, and much time was spent outdoors in the elements and there has been much journaling done regarding such! With the rich history of your area, there should be many such references to possibly recreate and demonstrate! Just a thought. Good luck and thanks for your time spent with us now!
Thanks for the video. Perfect length. I appreciate the effort you are putting into the overnight camps.
It’s interesting how making a campfire makes everything seem a little better. No matter what you have going on in your life for a moment you can just relax. I wonder if it’s in our DNA from the caveman days?
I really loved those instruction videos. The knots and especially the video on the tarp construction...
Nice review and camp set up.
Great stuff! Thanks for the good watching, and tremendous inspiration. :-)
The UK keep destroying our forests and woodland everwhere! Mass building of housing and roads. Is sad! Shocking and heartbreaking! Suppport the woodland trust! Help stop the destruction!
3 days in the woods only with medival gear would be interesting.
3 days with no gear would be interesting
try this guy great channel
Yeah
One thing most people don't know about these poncho's is that there are actually 3 sizes. The reason nobody knows is that they are not clearly labelled, but the number of metal grommets (at the bottom of the poncho) indicate the size; 1 grommet is a small, 2 grommets is a medium and 3 grommets is a large. You have size 2.
Beard is looking awesome man! :)
Thanks for sharing your adventures in the woodlands. Enjoy your videos very much. Keep up the good work. Be well.
Awesome vid mate. Really enjoyed it
Wowwwww, 351K followers. Ive been with ya since about 45K maybe even less. Love your channel. I would like to see more wild camping/bushcraft style videos, maybe hunt and cook videos also. Keep the great videos coming !!!
Mate.. i live in Australia & i am so lucky that i was able to buy from my local ausie disposals store a complete lavu tent set up!
Yes!! I baught the complete original 2 poncho.. with the 2 canvas pouches each with 2 original aluminum pole sections.. & 5 tent pegs..
So each soldier had 1 poncho, 1 canvas pouch that included 2 sections of center pole & 5 tent pegs..
2 soldiers put together had 2 ponchos ( a complete tent)
2 pouches that was 4 center pole pieces ( a complete center pole) & 10 tent pegs ( complete pegs for the tent)
I purchased this tent for $40 Australian dollars! Complete with stamped dates on each poncho!
I wish i could send you pics of it!.
you look like a Druid in that poncho lol. i have noticed on several channels that i have been binge watching from the beginning, as your channels grow and you are under more pressure to put out videos, all of you guys are so stressed. i watch you because i like your serene demeanors lol. don"t let this you tube crap change you please. your such a soft spoken kind dude. i like you calm cool and collected.
The journal came from wish I have one just like it but it's cool I love mine too
This is incredibly useful information. I'm so glad to see these skills have not been lost.
Woowww!! Making a Brand you had just surprise ME!
cool video .. very informative thanks.
Bushcraft videos are my vote! Love to see more. Love videos with that little tent of yours. Keep up the Great work!
always like ur videos keep them coming
At 16:23 where you said it was TWO ponchos together, LOL. I was amazed by how big that shelter was until you said that!
Keep them coming, love to watch!
outstanding video! Thanks for including the little bits of ideas (like the bike tire inner tube as a strap/band).....stuff like that is so simple, yet so valuable.
"Owe it to the forrest to protect it." Spoken like a level 20 druid.
Sounds like there is a freeway right next to you in the background. Love your show. Chris, Detroit Michigan
Love the length of your videos it's actually worthwhile watching something longer in my opinion. Personally I would like to see more minimalistic bushcraft with maybe more coastal vids but keep up the good work and with your work ethic I'm sure your website ideas will be very successful
Cool video. I'm glad you put links to all the gear you take with you. It makes it easier to look up. Thanks
I want to see more bush craft stuff, TA. You are the best at it.
Awesome as always!!! Keep it up love you and your Dad’s work!!!
Another awesome video....i love to watch all your videos ....even if I done seen them I go through them again....be safe and do what u keep doing
Scott brobw carpentry is your doppelganger
Awesome buddy awesome
Nice, I spent many a miserable night under one of these all over the world, using the UK version.
Another hour enjoyed
I like the bush craft and diy
Square space rocks.
SquareSpace rocks. Thanks for the discount! Also this video rocks. Keep em coming!
Looking forward to your website being up!
Digging the beard Mike
Kinda showing my roots here but Man that's some good looking dirt.
HEY! Really like your videos, and i would like to see more buschcraft and light survival
Would love to see a video with you and @alecsteele doing a survival situation knife making in the open... Or something like that... #lovethevideos
It would be totally awesome (excuse the pun) if you were to go on a camp with Alec Steele, the collaborations have been great so far.
Thumbs up!!!
