      Camp when and as you can! I backpacked, car camped and even backyard camped in my time. Retirement hit and my spouse began a second career as 'Grandma.' We relocated. I lost 15 years of planned outdoor life. So I did heavy landscaping, woodlot management, and barbecuing on the terrace.

      Check out a channel called Bushradical if you like the idea of building a cabin he has built several small cabins. Also helps his voice is calm relaxing and informative as he builds.
      Another channel is Outdoorboys he does some extreme Alaska camping in cold weather and warm weather and brings his kids along as well.

    One thing i have never seen anyone do, is to make cooking appliances from scratch if you have nothing. Like a pot to cook in, it seems to be a lost survival skill. Sure a makeshift cup is fine but how do you make a stew without having a pot, or boil water for that matter. You can be stranded in a couple if unforseen ways, without much on you, what then?

    Hey Mike instead of bringing salt I would suggest if you can find it in your country A salt and spice mix called Herbomore Herbomir they're two kinds there's urban mere regular mix which has got dried herbs and salt and I think pepper mixed together and the other one is called Trokemaire which is the same mix plus has red chili flakes in it. They're great for seasoning foods using the table salt And it makes your salt go further you don't have to use as much Because you get the other spices added flavor to whatever you're cooking whether it's meat or vegetables. That way you don't have to carry as many spices you could add Ginger instead or dried garlic Or I need powder garlic powder that kind of stuff instead of just you know the chili flakes and black pepper and whatever spices you have besides your salt And the great thing about it it's sea salt. so you're getting more minerals and nutrients than just Plain old Potassium sodium chloride The potassium chloride Magnesium chloride other chlorides in it which add great flavor to whatever you're cooking. so the main one is called Herba Mare and the spicy one is called Trokemaire it's not too spicy but it does get a little bit of zest to it. one of the other things you could carry with you is like dried citrus rind like lemon or lime or orange or mixture of all three. it wasn't your vials. and it's easy to make your own citrus rinds you get yourself a microplanar And you hold the citrus in your one hand and you use the microplanar on top of the citrus So you can see exactly where you're taking the rind from On your citrus. you take it You spread it out on a piece of wax paper And let it dry or put it in dehumidifier or whatever they call them dehydration units and let those sit for like 20 minutes or an hour to get really dry pulls out all the moisture so that you can then mix them and match them however you want to add to your food and then you put in your vials and bring that with you so that's what I would suggest is forget the other vials to keep your tropical bears urban mayor at one file your black pepper your garlic and onion powder mixed And then your citrus rines in another that'll be all four vials with better ingredients for you to use when you're cooking and a camp situation.

    Brilliant Video! This is the first time I’ve seen someone put a hole in the side to aid airflow. Clever! Another tip you could utilise is if you are out and about and you haven’t got a knife, axe or saw at hand, you can simply hammer sticks into the ground that you find laying around with another stick used as a baton, creating exactly the same thing, a Swedish Torch, a number of concentric rings of sticks (the amount depends on how thick the sticks are but I’d go no less than an inch per stick, pack them tightly with the middle rings lower that the rest, it’ll burn faster but it’s a quick and easy way to create a Swedish Torch when you have no tools and you need to cook or boil water quick. I’ve used this method a number of times when the weathers been bad and the ground and everything other than deadfall is sodden.

    That emergency match is ACE!!! haha its like a flare 😄. You shout workout a place where you can have it to try and boil a cup of water over it! That would make for an ace vid.
