Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Matt and Reuben head out the the bushcraft treehouse for some winter camping fun. They build beds around the fire to stay warm and cook up some steak and potatoes! It was pretty cold in this one, and the trip took an unfortunate turn at the end.
What Happened to Bushcraft heroes?

What did YOU think of the beds round the fire?
make a trap for the hunter
Bushcraft Heroes the flint stones car 🙂
I hope your joking
Haha best suggestion 👍🏼
Bushcraft Heroes .?
I couldn't imagine finding such an intricate shelter in the forest like those hunters!
Luckily it was hunters. They are usually respectful unlike teenagers. The snow made the camp look awesome!
Son of a Bear Bushcraft/// I don't know what I'd do finding a gem like their tree house! Well I'm thinking, perhaps I'd sew them some curtains, and leave them some canned food, for using it as an over night shelter. Well maybe I'd plant some tulip bulbs for the spring, and write a Zen poem, but then that's just me chasing the most illusive dream of all. LOL!! Happy holidays dude!
Haha Hanks Cherie!
Sorry to hear you boys got sick, hopefully you're on the mend now - Looking forward to more vids in the New Year! Have a great Christmas lads
Thanks bro! You too 👍🏼
TA Outdoors, hi there good to see you here! Never miss your videos, love your dad too. Hey let me share something gross with you and the rest of the troops. In the primitive times, natives use to take their sick adults to the river, no they didn't drown them! lol. They had a tool, a wooden stick which was polished smooth, don't remember in my research what type of wood it was. However they dug up the smoothest cleanest clay from the river bed, dip the stick in the wet clay and shove it up the sick person's_____, ouch! must have hurt to a degree. All the bacteria would flush out into the water, instant cure for intestinal tract bacterial and parasitical infestation. Must have been a bloody relief!!! I would use that method to survive...clay is the salt of the earth. LOL! Surrey Crossing Vancouver BC
niceee TA outdoor
what happened!?!?
Next time you go out with the dog, you should take the time to make the dog a bed too ... wool blanket on the ground is cold and wet.
Yes you are right
Agreed. I was thinking similarly. Fellas, conduction is an issue for dogs also. He needs ground insulation to avoid losing body heat.
Happy Holidays, Heroes! Hope Matt and Reuben are well-recovered and that all is well and good with Bow! It DOES occur to fans that the 'LIFE' of a UA-cam group is not an easy one and that you each are experiencing changes in your life and...I cannot finish my 'dire' thought! You guys already have a bunch of inspirational work for viewers to watch and to learn from...and we are checking in regularly to stay out in the woods with you all.
Thanks James, have yourself a great holiday!
Those guys must have just been flabbergasted. "Did I crawl through a hole into some Tolkien novel?" Is probably what I'd be asking myself.
What have been cool for the dog is to cover the back side under the bed and then the dog could have been a bit warmer and slept under the bed overall the bed were pretty cool
i really enjoy the close ups of the fire. when we are out living the fire is central. i like taking pics so when i have to go in for a while i have a beautiful reminder of printed large photos of our camps/home and very close ups of fire. take care love the fourlegged. beautiful
love the Canadian sleeping bag.Just don't have a drink late or else you will have to get out of the bag during the night. lol Plus the down gets packed under you and you'll have to give the bag a good shacking.
Yeh I love that bag. It’s so worth the size and weight 👍🏼
The beds around the fire were pretty awesome.
Love to see a much larger fire pit 🔥😍
Love it guys, missed the videos. Cool to see the hunters & the moose in the camp! Good thing they didn't mess/take anything. I always worry about that here at my camps
That same situation happened to me years ago, I had a bad headache and my stomach was upset. We were camping on an island that we had paddled our canoes to. It was like -10 f that night with the humidity. In the middle of the night I had diarrhea bad and every time I would get out of the tent to use the bathroom, by the time I would get to where it was off trail so I could go I was so cold my body was tense and I couldn't go. Then I would hike back to the tent and get in my sleeping bag, get warm and then the urge to go would come back. This went on for about five or six hours until the next morning and it was miserable! 😂 One of the weirdest things I've ever experienced.
That’s the one! Awe full...
I'm from Texas I have never seen this kind of cold before people here would not survive this kind of cold.thanks for letting me know not to go were you are.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
One doesn't ordinarily associate funky disco music with freezing cold canadian winters. But since these are young trendy creatives with a survival skillset that would put many to shame , I'm going to have to say it works! And furthermore- as much as it's not cool to admit it but I like the music. In THIS CONTEXT!
I Wish this Could be A TV Show Because Its Soo Good!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol that’s funny
I'm sorry you guys got sick. I was getting worried about all of you because I haven't seen anything in a couple of weeks but thanks for saying that there won't be another till after New Year's. Thanks for another great video and Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
Thanks John, and for your support and understanding!
Awe. You guys are so good to Manny! LOVE the beds!
This is a good video to revisit, right up to the point where illness strikes. Given the weather, beds around the fire made sense. You had the gear to carry it off and the walls of the enclosure would help with wind.
Wow! That sure looks like a cozy camp! I wish I was there to enjoy it with you guys. Have lots of fun!
That's quite a plush palace of a camp !!
If that Cow Moose liked your camp a lot, she'll probably come back next year with her new calf. She looked quite pregnant. 😃
👍 for giving you dog a blanket to lay down on.
Interesting comment about the cow being pregnant
WOW: cold weather and health issues! Bummer. Great to see the good times while they lasted. I would have opted for a long fire instead of the fire pit under those conditions...and a tarp to hold in a bit of the heat would have helped. Still, nothing works when you are sick and headachey and cold. The beds were a new touch. I was with Matt when he first said: 'this is really uncomfortable!" It looked that way. With the hot rocks cemented into the fine fire pit, they weren't available for tucking under the beds to help with the heating. Lots of food for discussion and for pondering in this video.
Yes James! You couldn’t be more right 👍🏼
Winter is THE best time to move your logs! Sleds and sledge to move them while the snow is there to assist. This is the time to move really big logs with the least effort!
Happy Holidays to All you guys as well! Kind Thanks! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Hope you’re feeling well again! Loving the videos from NYC guys. Keep it up.
Thanks Andrew!
Fricken awesome guys, love the footage of the hunters and the moose, wow. Yes winter is here in Northwestern Ontario as well and winter camping is upon us for sure. Great videos as always guys and keep up the great work and have fun, that is what it is all about. Cheers Fred in Thunder Bay, Ontario....Happy Holidays as well, and Happy New Year
Fantastic channel! I like looking nature, explore and meditate...
Talking about that trail can really helped me out
Crazy idea using tarps that have been modified to form earth bags to construct a long term shelter. Or even filled with plant material to cover and insulate a shelter? 😊
You should have made the shelter for your dog underneath one of your shelter bed things
Also you guys should build a gate to keep the moose out 😂
Micheal Kasch omg lol 😂😂😂😂 good one lol
Yeh we will have that perimeter done at some point!
Great videos! But turn down the music volume. Im constantly turning vol. Up when you're talking then down when music kicks in.
Thanks for the feedbck
build a shelter for your dog!
Great video as always! Btw your dog is such a sweetheart!!
Yeh manny is awesome to have out there
Treehouse beds all the way for me, although the others looked grand. Hope you lads are in good health now, merry xmas to all the gang and thanks for your great vids.
Thanks man 👍🏼
Very interesting video. I'm glad you got out safe because a couple of times watching the video I was concerned. Especially about the non-use of reflective material . Thanks for bringing me along Brian 77
Matt reported that his bag kept him cozy. Reuben's bag wasn't up to the low temperatures. Our two Heroes really challenged themselves by just going with the open elevated bed concept...and just a fire pit fire on a sub-freezing outing. 'Test and Learn."
The best way to learn is to convince yourself by trying. Brian 77
True that!
Dog house for mans's best friend?
Great series guys, glad i found this channel, I need to get some land so i can start onr of these. Great job guys.
The snow just proved me right in my comment back on the video when you made your tall wall (aka lean-to). That wall is TOO vertical and now all that snow is right where it shouldn't be. You either need to lower the cross rod so the wall leans more into the camp or build a lower surrounding wall so the bottom of your current wall becomes the lower end of a "roof". Right now your wall is NOT leaning enough.
You are 100% right
Yeah i just couldnt get why so high!!!? Then the video where they cut off the overhang about killed me.
Perhaps a remodeling is in order?
Miss you guys
glad to here yall are ok :)
"freaking love battinen wood man" classic matt.
Happy Christmas to all of you
And to you Susan!
Just finished binging the entire series, and look at that a new video:)
OMG. So glad you both r safe. Was another good video. Merry Christmas
Very nice 👍 Bushcraft from Ukraine
Thanks :)
Man. Love the videos. I'm not a huge camping man myself but I love watching y'all. The footage of the hunters and moose was hilarious. Maybe leave a note for next time so they won't do anything to the camp. Hope you guys are doing well now. Cheers from Ottawa.
Thanks man, yeh I figure they didn’t take anything so we are safe for now!
They make boots for dogs, fyi... and coats. :)
Damn, Sorry you had such a bad turn. Never did winter camping too sketchy for me even with my thick yankee blood. It even gets too much down south here for me at times. Hope you all recovered well. See ya next year.
Tough luck guys but I understand and that was the right move but wish there could be more videos but you guys being safe is more important
Thanks, glad you understand 😀
Such a great video guys! Sucks you got sick after what looked like a beautiful feed and cosy set up.
Hope both of you are fine . Video is still awesome and Happy Holiday to all of you .
You know I have had an idea about heat reflection for some time now. Everyone that makes a similar video to yours are always using these Mylar, tissue paper thin, space blankets and put them against the roof of a lean-to to reflect the heat back down on them on their bushcraft bed. But because they are so thin, one wrong slip and and you're out $5-$15 bucks. My idea is simple. Go to the dollar store and get numerous rolls of the 18 inch wide rolls of aluminum foil, unroll the edge, staple it to one side of the roof of your lean-to and then gently unroll it and staple periodically across to keep it to the roof and of course when you get to the other end of the roof, cut the foil, don't use the cutter teeth on the box, and then staple that end. Just repeat that over an over again until you get to the bottom of the roof.
Aluminum foil rolls are cheaper than space blankets and the foil is more durable. And even if it rips you can just staple the ripped part back up or staple a patch in. The foil will reflect heat just as well if not better than the Mylar.
Just a suggestions when you guys go back to camp. Add an adjustable roof over your new sleeping area so that way if you use the area snow doesnt just come in while your sleeping, like a tarp or something since you made it against the wall.
I was looking forward to watching more of your videos especially during the yr end season n hoping that you'd decorate the place up with Christmas decorations but unfortunately it's not meant to be now that you guys are sick. Hey take care n get well soon!!
Looking back when I happened to bum onto your channel early this yr, when it was only a few videos into your treehouse making videos, n now the yr is almost over. Can't believe it! Anyway i really enjoyed watching your videos this past yr n i look forward to more of your videos next yr.
Here's wishing all you guys at Bushcraft Heroes ~ Merry Christmas n Happy New Yr !!!
Thanks White Knute. Have a good one too!
Another great job! Beds looked great! Maybe if you can find 3M scotch guard to waterproof boots or rub beeswax and use a blow dryer or hot air gun to seal it in
It happens guys lol , glad you got back safe
Thanks 🙏
Beds r great merry Xmas to u all and great new year guys
Perfect you should make a doggy house
Great video once again💪
I'm in England. My workmate gave me one of the American sleeping bags for nothing! Man it is awesome. But still love the old English bags with down in them
Finally another video!! Missed it so much!
Beds and fire looked very well .. Nice to see yous guys out at camp shooting videos again ... Looking forward to next one already ... Mark...Marry x-mas & Happy New Years To all of yous as well...
Thanks Mark!
Oh hey mark
What do you have for your dog?? His paws will suffer from the cold!!
Looks cozy :) Awesome you guys are producing some more videos! We missed you... lol
Thanks man, sorry for the delay!
No problem! Hope you had a good break :)
Bout time you guys got around to anoyher video! Beautiful fire.. Feel warmer already
I dont think manny is impressed but you guys did alright. Kinda surprised you guys didnt lash in your main supports
Sorry you got got sick... But glad to see your back I went out to my bush craft camp 2 weeks ago and caught malaria from what probably was a mosy bite... So I feel yah there... It's already worse for me because I have a rare blood disorder that affects my immune system... I've been out for about a week and like 4 days now... Wish I had snow in Florida then I wouldn't have gotten bitten by that dang mosy... 🎪🛶⚒🔪⛏🛠
Next time you will have to try and make a quinzee shelter. They are very warm from what I understand. Thanks for sharing guys. Any idea as to what made you guys feel a bit under the weather? Cheers. ☺👍
Not sure, a bug or maybe the food
liked the video, hope you get back soon and are find out why you were sick..... ! I don't say a lot but always thums up
Appreciate that all the same 👍🏼
Happy New Years Guys!! Been 3 weeks and we need a video!!
hope you're both well, have a great Christmas guys
Thanks Bill!
Love the beds, but next time get the pooch a warm blanket
Lounging about! Alfie is my absolute favorite
Yeh I wish he made more videos
I do too but I watch other channels like you guys to fill in the gaps
Where have y'all been? Hope everything is well! Love your vids and everything about them.
Awesome video guys !!😊🖒 greetings from germany
Much better video. Sorry you became ill and couldnt sleep.
I am curious why the green tarp wasnt used to make a shed roof. One mor tarp on the side and you would have been able to contain the heat better. Hope you feel better through out the holidays.
Thanks Willy!
I hope you guys have another video coming soon. I've been patiently waiting.
looked like a great camping trip sorry it ended badly for you both MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEARS
Thanks Iva
Raised bed ... Fire. protector.. the idea wool blanket/Tarp to hang on the wood wall, cause sleeping outside..can be hectic...in winter..if it snowed or rained.. ud be ruined.. Cothing and all.
Haave a Blessed Christmas and a Happy Newyear to u and ur famlies.. Cherrio
For tummy ache n gas: Activated charcoal tablets..plus they can..be used to ease the pain of wasp and hornet sting..plus whiten ur teeth..deep clean ur skin and add volume to ur hair..
Just don't take activated charcoal if ur pregnant (no pun intended) or have kidney or liver conditions, it is known that AC (Activated Charcoal) can pull out active ingredients from other medication making them ineffective so medically advise not to take it with other medication.
Doctors who see the usefulness of activated charcoal recommend using it on occasion only, on as needed basis.
Thanks for the tip! Have to remember that!
Cool I'm an Edmontonian too. Joe Robinet is my kids favourite bush rafter on this platform. He will love to know an Edmontonian is doing this too
That’s awesome! #YEG!
Make a sled for the dog to pull. To haul logs and materials.
You should make some sort of bushcraft heater in the tree house so you don’t need a sleeping bag in the winter you would just need a blanket
Yeh I think that has to happen
Great work guys Greets from Alaska
Great video,enjoyed watching,hope you all had a great Christmas.All the best to you and look forward to your next video,paulaandage.
was wondering when you guys would upload again, sucks you got sick. Merry Christmas have a good time, my family are actually going to Edmonton to visit family should be fun
You too man
Just came across your video enjoyed watching thanks for sharing with us I did subscribe to y'alls channel look forward to seeing more wish you all the very best until next time my friend happy
Sorry you guys got sick. Great video and I can’t wait to see more in the new year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Matt, Ruben and Bow.
Thanks Michael, and to you!
The canaidian military sleeping bags are the best, we uses them when i was on baisic survival in cold lake a couple years ago and we also use them on ftx
I agree
Miss you guys need a video
New vid coming out in a couple weeks
Beds look great. Loving your building videos its giving ideas to get out there and build my own. Idea for ya is back by staircase and lean to is build a US Calvary fort gate on a big build
Glad he got to use a wool jumper.
Epic !
Hey you guys should build a trail for pulling around wood
Wow, that's not fun, so was it food poisoning or a stomach bug? Strange you both came down with it at the same time. Maybe your dog also had it and that is why he was shivering. Your camp looks very comfortable. I Enjoy watching
Water resistant and waterproof are two totally different things but those are nice boots
The U.S is a bit less north then Canada, we don't go through -50 temps normally on the main land, so we don't need very heavy winter equipment. So we can make our solders hold less stuff, Alaska is a different story.
There was a perfectly good axe, why didn't you use that to split the wood? Would have gone faster and easier
Sometimes when I watch videos on subjects I like, ideas come to me on practical stuff. I have an idea for a dog camp bed (waterproof & insulated against the cold ground). Just cut 2 squares of sturdy plastic tarping, dependant on a dogs size. For a big dog, 40" square. Sew 3 sides with a sort of long standard stitch length. DONT TURN INSIDE OUT. leave flanges edges exposed because you'll want to lightly fill with ever green boughs. The branches would rip the stitches if you turned them to the inside. Will roll up to pack out real easy for traveling. Will still need a blanket on it though. SORRY you got so sick ! Sounded like a food reaction. 😬
That’s a good idea. It’s funny though. Manny didn’t even sleep near us or the fire. Just in the snow under the log wall.
Bushcraft Heroes oh well, who can understand the mind of a dog. 😐
You can try closing off the steps so Manny can't see through them and place some bacon bits on each one to entice her up. Should concur her fear, I've seen it done before. Cheers!
Since you have snow, pile snow up, and make it like an igloo. Fashion Points if you add the following.
Windows, Rooms, Bed, and a place for the doggo.
