  • Join me as I head out for a solo wild camping trip in some pretty bad weather.
    After setting up my tarp shelter, I make a campfire before sheltering out the rain for the night.

    Your fero rod problem is exactly why I carry the ones the way I do. I have a 5 inch one in my fire starting kit, a small one with magnesium and striker in my emergency kit, and a small one in my first aid kit with striker. I was a boy scout, I believe in being prepared and my grandfather was born in 1885 and said you could never have too many ways to start a fire. I also carry matches and a lighter.

    Nice camp in a lovely spot . Something satisfying about keeping it simple sometimes. Good job you had a plan B for the fire ( managed with the birch bark though) . New ferro rod on the way i assume . Take care👍🏕

  • @thedaftestnameicouldthinko8233

    Great video with some atmospheric shots. I wondered how to tie the Evenk hitch so went to Animated Knots by Grog. Typing evenk into the search function took me to the Siberian Hitch and an animation of the hitch being tied by a gloved hand. It’s a good website for those of us who only tie knots occasionally. I’m not sure I could enjoy camping with the ground so damp but I’m glad that you do because watching your video is very enjoyable.

      @@ADVENTUREISMADE I follow a lot of hunting channels, their jackets are designed with materials not to make noise so animals don’t get spooked. I’ve not noticed it that bad before it’s like it’s made of stiff Gortex and not softer fabric like pertex? Keep them coming, missing not seeing Poppy.

Hope Poppy’s doin ok. Oh yeah!! I was gonna ask you… can you light pine pitch with a ferro rod? Do you have to break it up into small pieces first? I just got a new ferro rod from a small cottage company here in the states. I try to buy “gear from here” when I can. It’s not always possible but doin the best i can. I’m starting the algonquian video. Lookin forward to it. Take care Matt and happy holidays. NQU

    Hey Matt! I was a bit confused to seeing you set up a fire in what seems to be quite a bit of dead grass. Is it really wet enough to set up a campfire over there and not have to worry about the surrounding grass? Or how do you make sure it doesn't start spreading?
    Just to add, your content is incredibly inspiring and after every one I just want to go on a hike!
