Добавлен 30 май 2016
My name is Trevor, I am based in the rocky mountains. I have been in the wilderness most of my life and have had a lot of time to practice and develop wilderness skills. I have also had the opportunity to learn from some incredible people. I have a passion for helping people get out in nature and teaching them how to be safe and comfortable in the wilderness. Thanks for stopping by. I hope this channel motivates you to go find your own adventure and teaches you some skills along the way. Remember, it's just a theory until you have done it. Have a good one! Feel free to email me with questions or comments.

Too much camera movement but good stuff.
Need some hot sauce for those mashers bud. Great video. I love hearing all the sounds of these videos. I can relate to all this sounds feels like we’re out there with you.
Not a fan of hot sauce. Glad you enjoyed the video
So your bed roll weighs 18 pounds! No thanks
It actually weighs less than 10 for all of this
Great video. I am a smaller channel myself and have to to where all I watch are the smaller channels because the content is better. Keep up the good work. Just subbed.
Good video!! Very informative as well.
Very interesting video, thank you.
this has been great, all kinds of best practices and neat little tips along the way, feels like camping with a friendly uncle
Mission accomplished. I really appreciate it, thanks.
This is very interesting and informative. Very well done! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I made a bivy from 70d nylon sheet I got for cheap. Light and keeps me dry while insulated and moisture wicking.
part of my winter bed in the house is 2 alpaca blankets. after watching your video they may wander into the vehicle. decades ago i had a military training exercise in feb. wound up being the lone wolf, slept by myself. what i did was place my shelter half over myself for a larger space around my body & head. gave me the breathing room i needed.
By the time you get in all that it will be morning. Motel 6, they’ll keep the light on for you.
It's only takes 30 seconds to get into this system. Also, I would rather tell my grandkids one day about the times I spent camping in the winter. These are the kind of experiences that stick with you a lot more than staying in a hotel.
You have quite an ingenious and versatile system, and it's obvious that it works. I don't have your level of experience, but I found that if it snows even lightly, a bivy is unpleasant. I waste time trying to keep my mouth positioned to breath while limiting snow flakes from entering. Placing fabric on top is also awkward. A light but very wind capable, single wall tent by MSR is my personal preference. Its protection eases dressing between the sleeping bag and outside if there's precipitation or strong winds and protects the boots and pack. But your system helps to maintain better discipline in packing only what's needed. I found a no name, very loose fitting fleece balaclava to be my preferred head protection. It also keeps the bag cleaner Your alpaca poncho is especially intriguing. There are three animals with similar insulating fur - lama, alpaca, and vicuna. All three offer excellent insulation. Allegedly, vicuna is the best. I've never even seen a product advertised using any of these animal's fur. Do you know of a source offering these?
I personally don't like using tents and try to use the resources around me to improve my camp. But it sounds like you have a good system.
@@wildwest_woodscraft Thanks for the reply. You clearly have more experience. With that comes refinement in what you tailor for your travels. Kudos for that.
decades ago i ran across a person selling alpaca jackets, ponchos, queen / king size blankets at the military base i was stationed at. spent a ton of money on christmas gifts that year. the 2 blankets i still have on the bed in winter.
comment for algorithm
@wildwest Woodcraft whats yur thoughts on hammock camping in the winter?
I have no experience with hammock camping, but by what I've heard, it's difficult in sub 0⁰f temps.
@@wildwest_woodscraft yes yur correct it is difficult but it can be done.I'm originaly from up-state ny.(Adirondak mountains) but you dont loose heat as much as lying on the ground.
What about bears
There hibernating this time of year
Maybe you have some advice. I also use a thermarest pad...but it started going flat after only a couple of weeks, without ANY indication at all,of why it was doing that. I've found no holes or split seams,and I can't hear any air leakage. Ideas???
Mabe something to to with the valve. I would get ahold of Thermarest. I personally have no experience with their CS but couldn't hurt.
Nice informative video.
I've got the US Air Force ECWS Arctic sleep system. I've slept in it on the ranges at Eielson AFB AK, at -40 and was nice and warm. Gore-Tex Bivy, Arctic bag, Intermediate bag, all zipped together. Alway use a stocking cap and wobbie too
What are the specifics of how you ordered your warbonnet? Too much customization for me.
They have a lot of good information what to order. The rest is just what colors you want.
What happens if you need to take a leak? Seriously, you could pee your pants trying to get out of there, no?
I can get out of it in less than 30 seconds.
Best sleeping bags are made by Wiggys Colorado
Inflatable pad pad in bag. Mark of amature
How so? I've been doing this for years with no problems. I don't have it in the sleeping bag, just the bivvy to protect it from being damaged. There is still plenty of room. Nothing is compressed.
Awesome video man!
Thank you 👊
Thanks for this--very well thought out. New subscriber here. Is that poncho Alpaca or llama? I only ask because I have a few llama ones and they look like that. I haven't found any reasonable alpaca ones that aren't 20% acrylic or some other artificial fiber.
I believe it is alpaca
Thanks for the sub!
@@wildwest_woodscraft Thanks, looks toasty. Makes me want to take a nap.
I must ask - what is the allure of sleeping outdoors in temperatures that can kill you? The only pluses I can see is that in winter there are no bugs or snakes, and bears are hibernating.
Because where I live, it gets below freezing 6 months out of the year, so I want to be able to be comfortable in the cold. Also, doing hard and dangerous things is fun. I enjoy doing things that are hard and require mental and physical toughness.
Oh, wow! Yes, there’s no way I would want to stay indoors that much of the time, either. I can relate to enjoying doing hard things, too, though not the dangerous part - but men and women usually differ on the appeal of that one 😄. Enjoy the challenge!
I definitely agree. In my opinion, safety always comes at a cost to freedom, so I don't mind a little danger in life. I have also done a lot of training to know how to survive in extreme environments.
What I want to see is you getting into that monstrosity!
After all that, I'd need to climb out three times in the night to pee !
Great information thank you
Fantastic well thought out and explained kit, watched several other videos now, channel is a genuine hidden gem
Thanks I really appreciate it!
What HPG pack you carrying in the video! Greetings from Idaho! Great video!!
This is the aston 3
Smart and well thought out system, will be making one using your ideas
Can’t watch POV videos like this. I start getting nauseous within the first 5 minutes.
That's fine have a good one 👍
Don’t think I can finish watching - the GoPro is making me dizzy
I wanted soooooo badly to watch this (I ended up closing my eyes and listening) but the camera movement was overstimulating.
Boo hoo. Shut up and go to sleep lol dumb fuk
Great vid. Would love to know where you purchased the down slippers. Anyone???
Mine are from First Light.
Great video! I’m going to get some parts of your kit , your awesome
I have a complete 1990s Canadian military surplus sleeping system. Absolutely rock solid system. All 3 components of the sleeping bag tie together (or not). Flannel liner an inner and outer goose down bag with a total -40 rating. There is a Gumby looking hat that has two elastic bands that fit under your armpit so the wind can’t blow it off. All this was in a stuff bag that also doubles as a water bag. I Also got 5” rubber air mattress that also doubles as a raft for your pack and a ground cover sheet that can be used as a string line shelter. Not the lightest thing but my truck has no problem carrying it. Oh recently I bought a bivi bag similar to yours. Love it. Thankx for sharing.
Sounds like a really solid setup, thanks for sharing!
So, when u wake up. You put on cold clothes and boots
I put on warm thermals and socks. So I don't mind the durable layer and boots being cold. I would rather them be dry from be near the fire all night.
Is there a difference if you have the Thermarest outside the bivvy vs. inside?
No other than the bivvy will protect the pad
If u ever need to replace ur sleep system snugpak has the full modular sleep system and even has special attachment that lets you zip the two bags together for convenience
I have used some snugpak gear in the past and wasn't impressed. But I know it works for some people.
@wildwest_woodscraft did it break, i hope my bivy lasts a while because it cost a lot
@@UndoubtablySo I had a sf bivvy that leaked really bad. And it just seemed cheaply made for the price.
@wildwest_woodscraft damn, I have the regular version I hope it doesnt do the same, its crazy they would advertise the gear for personnel and not test it properly
See you have put a lot of thought into your system. Nice. Do have a minor gripe: You got me seasick, well maybe a bit dizzy. In the future suggest you use a tripod. I don't need to watch your hands as they pull stuff out of your pack and stuff it into the bivy. A stable point of view is much easier way to observe without distraction. The previous comment used the word scalability. Very apt.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to keep the camera more stable in future videos.
looks like you could use a superior gear hammock
I like the scalability of it all! Greetings from the Netherlands.
Couldnt you put the water-bottle in a dry-bag to be 100% sure about leakage?
Not a bad idea
What do you do with your clothing? I put my pants and shirt under my sleeping bag and they stay warm from my body heat. In the morning I have warm pants and shirt to put on. Informative video, thanks for posting.
Thermals go in the sleep system and the durable layer drys by the fire
Did you use the Neman Marcus catalog to order all that stuff?
I don't know what that is.
I like it. From the warm balmy Caribbean islands🏖🏝⛱☀. Oh, how ironic!🤣😂😅 Yeah Mon!
just stumbled on your channel, really nice stuff! The longer POV video format is great
I appreciate it thanks
Interesting video, and good info. Don’t you worry about being all wrapped up if a bear shows up?
Not really I'll be cold long before a bear bothers me. I can get out prity quick and I keep my gun in the bag with me. Also bears a hibernating this time of year.
