First Night Camping in My Woods: Canvas Tent & Woodstove, Hot Tenting, Winter Camping [EPISODE 2]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Join me as I spend the first night solo winter camping in my woodland. I use a modified canvas polish lavvu tent and a woodstove as a hot tent for this winter camping trip. It's early December and the leaves have fallen from almost all of the trees in my woodland. The air is cold, but fresh. I setup the tent, cut some firewood with the axe and get the woodstove going. I cook up some good food and enjoy the evening listening to the owls and wildlife of my woodland. Thank you for watching!

WOODLAND LIFE - EPISODE 2: Spending a night camping in my woods is a great way to experience what goes on there during the dark hours. I was blown away by how much wildlife I could hear and see! Amazing night. Keep up to date with the Woodland Life series here: ruclips.net/p/PLxnadpeGdTxCwRkZTLMhjbT_EAu6bAIZy
Thank you for watching! - Mike
Cannot but almost hear the underlying joy/pride of the title words '.. -In My Woods'. Adventuring should never be diminished by age.
This would be a good place to include the recipe link.
Might I ask where you got the folding bow saw from. My husband has been looking for one for ages but so far without luck. We're in Dublin.
I would like to see you build another building like you did on the other property, your choice Of type.
Recipe???
Your films are so totally relaxing, gentle and nice. A great escape from the reality of the madness in the world at the moment. It would be so nice to spend a night in your own woodland.
Yes! Thought it was just me! Feels like I’m there and my mind flows into a milder state. It’s the trees too
@Forest brothers bad advertisement method and bad way of doing it too. be more suble with your comments and more importantly try to collab with a bigger youtuber if you can.
@@TravelNP me too!
Tip for the sinuses: Stoke up the stove, close the tent door (with enough ventilation to be safe ofc), and boil a pot of water with some fresh herbs/ aromatics until you can't see the floor any more XD I once took a thermometer into my lavvu and it can get up to about 50 C at the top! Proper woodland sauna!
Used to watch you years ago, it’s crazy to see how far you have come and that you now have your own woodland. Excited to see what you do with it.
Thanks!
these silent videos of yours, being in the woods and just camping are great to watch...so much peace and calm energy from watching it, and I almost feel like Iam in the woods with you, just chillin and enjoying beatufil nature...so relaxing after a long day of school and work, thank you Mr. Mike
Cheers!
Well said @Robert, I feel like we all live vicariously through Mike when we watch his videos when we can't make it out into the outdoors ourselves in the middle of the work week or on a busy weekend.
The fact that this guy practiced leave no trace in his own woodland is extremely humble
Not to mention he was not wearing gloves.
So many times iv gone to my local woods and its basically a dumping ground after people have had a party , they could learn alot from this channel
What’s the point? So you don’t know you were there?🤷🏻♂️
@@maxsparks5183 the point is to have a minimal impact on nature
Enjoying your broadcasts so much! I am 73 years old and did a lot of wild camping when I was young, with the Girl Guides and then the Rangers. Pretty primitive, but superb experiences in the 1960s! It’s great to follow your story now and marvel at your expertise and also the gadgets which are game changing for winter camping - especially the titanium stove. Oh to be young again - but this is the next best thing! Cathy A.
I'm thinking that if you don't have a convenient tree to replace the centre pole, you could make up a tripod that would fit on the outside of your tent and use that as the centre pole -- effectively moving the pole to the outside of the tent.
Great video!
good idea, plus you could attach additional lines to pull out the roof and give yourself more room inside
Yes, I’ve done this in a video about 3 years ago. It works well, gives you much more room to manoeuvre inside
I know nothing about setting up a tent, but couldn't you tie a rope between two trees and put the top loop of the rope somewhere in the middle of the rope... Instead of the pole? 💖🌞🌵😷
@@suzisaintjames yes or just run a line over a branch.
@@ShaDOWDoG667, aww thanks for commenting, but I'd be nervous that the branch might break and come crashing down on my tent? No? Plus don't trees shed a lot of water onto your tent? Isn't it better to be out in the open? Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷.
The Polish poncho tent mod is genius Mike, I did this to my one just a few weeks ago, went out and brought a sewing machine and it's a game changer, so much more space. Really enjoying hot tenting now, I have a similar setup, it is just so much nicer being in a heated tent, cooking in a warm environment.
As mentioned your setup could have been better:) I think Shaun did an excellent job on the mods.
Sandy
Thanks Sandy. Yes the mods are a total game changer now. Really looking forward to using it more over the colder months.
Best Polish Lavvu modification in my opinion is the Lavvu centre tarp by Bushcraft Spain - It's the best $170USD you'll ever spend on your Lavvu and it more than doubles the usable space inside the tent - However, with the modifications seen in this video, the modification I've mentioned would no longer work, as it only connects two stock-standard Lavvu halves. It essentially turns your Lavvu into a baker-style tent and the tarp's buttonholes perfectly match up with any of the three Lavvu sizes.
I prefer canvas in a winter tent, especially if it’s heated. But if I’m going to carry it on my back I’m not entirely sure if id want to carry any canvas tent/shelter half system anymore. So heavy! So much wasted space in a pack. Car camping or if I have pack animals, sure, all day long.
Flip side is the purpose built lightweight tipi shelters don’t really hold heat as well as the canvas. And they cost quite a bit more. But they fit into 1/4 the size or less & weigh next to nothing.
@@soonerfrac4611 You're exactly right, those silnylon hot tent tipis lose heat very rapidly, within minutes of the fire going out, the tent is freezing again, whereas you don't need to constantly feed your stove with wood in a canvas tent such as a Lavvu...
Great as always Mike, currently been subscribed to your channel for the last year or two. I've learned so much and have been inspired to just get outside and enjoy the nature around me.
Congrats on your first night. Evening sounds in the Woodlands is always good, but it's even better when it's Your woodland. Thanks for sharing your first night with us, looking forward to more adventures.
I’m so happy for you! The joy you exude over your newly acquired woodlands in infectious!
Any chance you’ll be setting up some bushcraft courses with the opportunity to stay in your woodland?
At the moment I just don’t have the time. Between balancing family life with a toddler and another baby on the way, then filming and editing RUclips, running the products website. It’s all so much and I’m pretty much at maximum capacity at the moment. Perhaps when life gets a little less busy maybe but for now I just can’t take on anymore unfortunately!
@@TAOutdoors Unleeeeeeeeeess...
You find a couple of teachers who need a spot to start a school up and work something out?
Busy times you can be a silent partner, in easier days you can maybe spot a class or two yourself.
What about catch and cook wild rabbits.
@@TAOutdoors I forgot all that! Work life balance so important at any time - especially when you have a child and another on the way. Have a wonderful Christmas and many thanks for the videos you do manage to get out.
@@TAOutdoors Another baby on the way! It really is all coming up roses 🥰
This is going to be the start of many exciting jaunts in your very own woodland
Can't wait for a permanent shelter
"hey, you can't do campfires here this is strictly forbidd...oh, you're the owner. yes sir, I do know the way out. have a nice day, sir."
Good Nz morning Mike. Been waiting for this for a while now. Needs the "Beast from the East" again doesn't it. A bit of the white stuff. Yeah when I first saw your setup, I thought to myself that that was a heck of a sag..I would just chuck a piece of wood under the center pole and raise it. But you've already acknowledged it. Just a little idea I've used when at 75 doing car camping in winter.
We call them "Thermettes" ...(fire in the middle, water jacket on the outer,)..set one up, and throw in a decent size spud,partly split with butter wrapped in tinfoil into the coals. Then go ahead prepare your hot tent, and get your stove going. By the time that's done, you'll find that the water in thermette is boiling, cuppa tea and a hot potato ready to eat as a starter and warmer.
Love your channel mate. Take care and atb from down under.
Great video as always. I do wonder though...
Has anything ever spooked you when you are on your own camping at night? Like in an otherworldly kind of way? Personally i would rather be in the woods on my own at night than in a town centre at night. All the best from lancashire.
Just wonderful I’m so happy for you. What great memories you can make with the kids when they’re a bit older. I treasure the memories my dad shared when we walked across the 100 acres that was his families farm and bush land. So much knowledge you’ll be able to give them. Congratulations
Hmm, Looks like a perfect location for a small Cabin, maybe another pallet wood one?
Great episode Mike! Looking forward to seeing many more overnighters in your woodland. Best wishes from Greece, Jono 😊👍🌲🏕️
That as really made a massive difference in size hasn't it Mike. It's huge inside now pal.
Lots of new mods as you say. For me the tension straps on the bottom, the hanging loop and the hook to hold a light on the inside are all fab ideas pal, loved it.
Big congrats to you spending your first night in your very own forest!
Thanks Ant! Yeah the mods make it sooo much better. Really pleased with them. Looking forward to putting it up with different configurations next time!
If some random guy came into your woodland and camped there for the night, didn’t leave any mess etc. Would you kick him out? Have a chat about his intentions? Or just be ok with it?
Just wondering as I camp in some guys private woodland all the time and he’s been ok with it.
Eyyy just sat down to chill too, nice☕😎👍
New to the channel and have just found these videos of your new woodland (very jealous) was just wondering if you managed to get any footage off of the trail cams you set up in the previous episode?
Looking forward to future updates from this new and exciting venture.
Aaron
Yes, got a few but the camera’s couldn’t quite capture the animals. Now I know where their game trail is, I can place the camera in a better place to pick them up :)
I like the lavvu mod, makes it even more versatile !!!!! hearing the wildlife is one of my favorite things about camping in the woods. I don't get out as much as I'd like since I don't drive but when I do get a ride to a camp spot it's well worth the wait
Thanks! I was pretty surprised how much active wildlife I could hear through the night. It’s awesome
Picture perfect sunrise Mike. How could the day not be brilliant after waking up to that. Thanks mate. Bushyboy Oz.
Hi Mike Awesome video! SO jealous you have our own woodland to manage (play in!!), but can't think of a more deserving owner! You asked us to remind you to put the recipe for your one pot meal in the description, so I thought I'd do just that. Thank you for the awesome content - say hi to your dad for me and please ask him to write an autobiography! Would definitely be the best thing put on paper this year (apart from when the newspapers said we were allowed to go fishing again)! CHEERS TA
It’s so nice to see a lifelong dream for so many of us become a reality for you in owning your own woodland Mike! And a more deserving man I cannot name! I’ve been loving the mini village series in collab with your dad and I’d agree that it would be totally awesome if he would write an autobiography - I’m sure it would be a huge hit!
Haha oh man I knew I would forget! Going to put it in now. Sorry about that 😆
@@TAOutdoors easily done! Especially with all you’ve got going on!!! Much love! Jack from Hampshire
I can't imagine buying land in the south of the U.K. is cheap, I can't wait for more vids from your very own piece of woodland. Hello from Michigan U.S.!
No land in the U.K. is cheap! But even more so the south of the U.K. is expensive, both land and housing (The London effect)
Man I really like your videos. They're one of the things that got me through lockdown in 2020. Keep up the great work.
Glad they helped!
Nothing more relaxing than a woodland hot tent camp. Love the Lavvu modification! Also, still can believe you have your own woodland now. That’s just amazing!! Great video as always!
Thanks! I still can’t quite believe it!
At first sight i though "what kind of Polish lavvu is it?" Because i have the same without modifications and those modifications is something insane! Those gadgets what needs everyone. Great video as always, Mike ✌ Congratulations for your first sleep over in your own forest!
Thanks! Yes the modifications make it almost a totally different tent.
Very interesting and nice to watch the video dedicated to the night in a canvas tent with a wood-burning stove. I myself had long dreamed of a similar one and only recently acquired a titanium wood-burning furnace, which is manufactured in Yekaterinburg, in the Urals. It differs from yours, but the general principle of work is similar. In Russia, it makes no sense to buy land for Bushkraft. There is the opposite. If you arrange a fire on your own land , it can be detected by drone. And you have to pay a fine of about 100 dollars. If you do it in the forest on state land, you will most likely not find, and they will not look. Only a small part of the forest belongs to individuals. And the territory is huge. In some places you can move for hundreds of kilometers and not to meet human housing. Even 100-150 km from Moscow there is a taiga, similar to Siberian with bears and other animals. It is a pity that because of politics there is a conflict between our authorities and the free world, including the United Kingdom. It is very sad. But ordinary people in Russia are respectful to English, American, Canadian and other bushkrafters and travelers. We have the same hobby. We love to be in nature and spend the night in tents, use a wood stove. Peace and friendship!
I love listening to owls, and other night sounds like crickets, peepers(frogs), and watching the lightning bugs in summertime you have a perfect spot there
Another lovely video! Watching you tip the ash under the leaves made me think that as trees 'talk' to each other, I bet your trees are so happy that you are managing their woodland! They will feel safe and blossom with you looking after them.
Hi, do you plan on building a permanent cabin/shelter in your woods ?
Great place you have there and love the Lavvu mods, I will be out this weekend in my modded hot fishing bivvy filming for my channel...Nice one ATB Chris.
Mike, it’s amazing to see how far you and your family have come since I first started watching you (pallet wood cabin).
Happy holidays and best wishes to you in the coming years!
Cheers!
🇨🇦❤️I’ve been a great fan of John Wyndham all my life and my favourite is The Chrysalids. His book of wonderful short stories, The Seeds of Time, is also one that I’ve read over and over. He was absolutely brilliant. If you’re not familiar with his work, you’ll be doing yourself a great favour by picking up a few of his books.
So happy to see how far you’ve gone. I’m very excited to see what projects and builds you have planned for your own woodlands!
If you have to open the door because you're too hot try using bigger logs .I have to laugh at folks spending so much time splitting wood and then saying 🤣 it's too hot . The more surface you expose the faster and hotter the wood burns . You you can also slow the burn by using the air vent and damper. You will use less wood and save time splitting all that kindling by using bigger logs less exposed surface area to burn. I use to heat a house with wood and the principle is the same big or small.
I am not jealous at all dude. Not one bit........ Beautiful setting, awesome camping setup and your cook ups always and I mean always make me hungry. Thanks for the content dude.
I've been watching your channel for a few years, which got me back into going out and spending more time in the outdoors again, and eventually starting my own channel!
Well done on this journey to owning your own woodland, a pipe dream for many of us! Keep up the good work, and the fabulous videos, I'll be out camping again soon (though not in a hot tent!), so I'll raise a can for you!
Cheers
James
Those mods now make me want to buy a Lavu now. Looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing such a detailed video!
Beautiful video, Mike! New viewer; love the content -- you've inspired me to start learning some basic survival/bushcraft skills!
The woodlands are gorgeous, keep it up!
Thanks! Glad you like it. Welcome to the channel
I absolutely love my lavvu, and I really do plan on doing some upgrades to mine just like youve got, specially the zipper since it is a pain constantly unbuttoning the opening, specially in the wee hours of the morning when ya gotta go to the bathroom.
This bathroom reason is why I began taking an empty gatorade bottle with me into my tent at night
Que maravilloso la tranquilidad, no se paga con nada, la naturaleza te da paz profunda y espiritual Hasta se escucha el silencio yo necesito un retiro así ya que estoy pasando malos momentos de mi vida, de Chile con cariño y bendiciones para usted, 🇨🇱🇨🇱🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👍👍👍👍🎆🎇.
Great video Mike. Does the lavvu still work in poncho mode with the modifications?
No the skirt is permanently sewed to the bottom.of the poncho. Although I'm sure Sean could custom make the skirt zippable on and off instead of sewed on to it for what I would imagine would be a lot of custom extra money/cost for that modification and I'm unsure how it's effect the durability
Goodmorning Mike from across the pond here in Canada , I'm looking forward to your new adventures in your wonderful new Woodland.🇨🇦 😄🏕😁🇬🇧.
Anybody else feel your fingertips get sliced open when he unrolled that stovepipe? I love these videos, but every time the stovepipe gets unrolled, ouch.
Interested to know how you feel about others using your woodland. Have you encountered anybody there yet. I believe almost all woodland should be open for people to visit, travel through, enjoy etc.. but if I’d bought it myself I could see me becoming more protective and wanting it all to myself! What are your thoughts?
The problem is that people are extremely disrespectful. I think many people start out wanting to be welcoming, but then people leave a bunch of garbage and play loud music and you quickly get pretty possessive
I was thinking... WHY NOT A TENT LIKE ⬛, AND AT TOP, SOMETHING LIKE🔺, INSIDE A LITHER BOX. THE THEME IS THE HOLE( because the smoke always go up, you can't do a tube that go to back, the smoke doesn't go away, doesn't it?? .. AND THE FLOOR... THE THEME IS THE FLOOR.. ELEVATED.. 🤔.... IN THE NEXT EPISODE!! 😉!!! 🌹🌾!!!
Mike, Mike, mike. Are you drinking that guinness from the can? Sacrilege. I'm unsubscribing. What would Smith say.
Ahhh mate! Must be a great feeling camping in your very own woodland 🌲🌲🌲
I'm a little bit jealous but really happy for you
Oh... A thing: one time somebody by here told me a number of whatsapp of you... I never believe it... Because he isn't you, but he was of TA Outdoors... And delete it... So. Same!
Honey, if you can't sleep well, autoanilize the un confortables body-signs, if is mental fatigue or body fatigue, firstable, to eliminate the uncorfontables things doing it before: go to W. C, no cold on skin, no too much hot on the skin, the hands, the feet, in correct temperature, no mosquitos, drink a little bit water, any dirty sound (noise), if you have nervious in barriga, valeriana, if is the head very moved, Melissa, right? To be sure that before go to the bed, for your hand EVERYTHING IT'S ALL RIGHT. RIGHT? NOW think to another pleasant thing that isn't me, HAHAHAHAHA.. another thing, JAXX ALWAYS HELPS YOU, HUH!!! and with a confortable position DO NOT MOVE!!! now, close your eyes and fix your look in one black point(,black because your eyes are closed!) RIGHT? but please, , DO NOT MOVE, VERY VERY IMPORTANT, IN THE SAME TIME WITH FIX POINT!!! And doing it, You never will know when you fall in your dream. I know that the best is no think about ready to sleep, because sometimes it seems go versus a wall, right? If you can't sleep, because you never are tired at night, (the sun can helps you, a warm shower, can relaxed you)but if it isn't enough, there is a reason for you, find it!! Do you think a lot with me huh??? The tent, the fire, the silence, suddenly a message with a rose...Yes, Who knows!!! , maybe!!! . I know, it's a dream!!!... Hahahahaha...🌹🌾. YOUR WELLCOME!!!Nevertheless= a pesar de todo!!!!
Mike, I don't see you emit the same. Your body does not emit the same, the same tenderness, etc. I don't say this because the face, or the body Sometimes you have similar reactions... Same carácter, but only one part... HE IS BIGGER...He has much more parts, àmbits, big personality, more extens, I mean, Deeper. Do you understand me??? I don't know you completely, but I think that sometimes I'm not sure, I never know it!!! I'M SORRY IF I STAY IN A MISTAKE. The Key is: I don't feel you the same way. Right? I hope your answer, not like ever.
I really don't get Bush craft, it just seems like uncomfortable camping
As always you have the fire in one side where you have the hole where you get out the tube, the tube very short, enough distance, I mean, same lightness but solid, one peace done, I mean... Right? For to bring between the backpack and your back( different backpack huh), but I was thinking where is the oven??? Like this too, isn't it??? In the same 💼. I was thinking... The pot or pots that you use to the coffee or milk, or soup or whatever, it's would be ⬛ not ⚫ why? Because perhaps you have the possibility to have 2 pots on the fire and be able make more good food. (don't worry😋).
This series is awesome, I'm so happy you have your own woodlands to preserve and film some new adventures in.
Just a question I have been wanting to ask for along time. Would you do this if you didn't get endorsements from the many sponsers or "companies" wanting to give you free items to showcase /review. Some of these sponsered /given to you items are VERY costly! No average Joe Potato could even dream of buying these items realistically. Sponsored endorsements and then you also had the big sad story about your day who seems to by some miracle be ALIVE! My dad died 18 years ago. But I didn't post a sob story trying to gain money or sympathy.
I’m loving this series, I’m really intrigued with what you’re going to do with the woodland in the months and years to come. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks! I’m looking forward to it too.
Well done Mike, dream accomplishment! Would love to be invited for the TA Outdoors Bushcraft School also ti TA Fest 2022! Keep it up mate, all my best
Hey Mike, I’m a big fan of all your videos. They always inspire me to get out and see the world. Was wondering if you could post the recipe for that stew you made! Thanks.
-Sam
I have a big family & my uncles & cousins & I all hunt wild hogs in the fall & winter months just about every weekend . We would set up are own tents & such on a piece of land one of my uncles owns , now that there up in age a bit it gets harder for them to sleep on the ground so I have a friend who manufactures hunting tents & I approached him about building a 20 foot by 20 foot walking tent with a big vestibule we all can use . Typically what I wanted would have cost me around $7000 USD but he built it for me for $3000 USD I wanted something double walled & with a floor with panels that open so we could put are stoves on open ground . It had to be camouflaged outside with built in LED lights in Section on the inside that ran on 2 D battery’s for each section & loops in the Ceiling for hanging lanterns or such . Now my uncles can bring in there cots & get some Comfortable sleep at night we even lay down 2 Layers of standing mats that you can get from Harbor freight to make the floor soft & warm when you get out of bed . My cousins that are younger still sleep on the floor & now I sleep in style on a nice cot ,Well worth the money & the time I had to wait for it .
I've done a few similar mods to mine.
Zips front and back. So it can still be used a 2x ponchos and as a tent. Hanging loop. Zips in the arm holes. Rejigged it all so it not has the same 'wet side' when used as ponch or lavuu.
Like the skirt idea. Might have to break out the sewing machine for that. Will need extra thought if keeping it able to be a poncho too.
Hey Mike, have you thought about metal scanning the old trail in your woodland? You never know, you might find a hidden treasure from the ages. :)
Love this new series, you are so lucky to have managed to find and purchase your own woodland. I recently looked around where I live but nothing that was available was within my budget, just vast commercial woodlands.
Bushcraft Spain also do a great conversion to the lavvu setup if your needing even more space Mike .
Great video mike, perfect way to spend your first night in the woods. Love the mods it looks great. Would defo like to see it hung higher up. Have you though about selling them on your store?
As always outstanding video keep up the fantastic work and I am looking forward to the next one
It's funny how ppl still believe that they can own land. Like if you own a lawnmower then you don't have to pay taxes on it every year, it's your's to do with what you want but if you buy a car, a motor vehicle of any kind, even a block of residential land or country land etc you will always have to pay some sort of fee every year to keep owning that item & as soon as you don't then the government can come along & take it from you legally. This doesn't sound like ownership to me, it sounds more like you are renting the usage of the vehicle or land etc. You can't keep it in your family to pass on through your family because they will also have to pay fees to claim it & in some country's you can't even pass on land to a family member when you die because it must be sold according to the rules of the country you live in so again you don't own it. Obviously these laws do not apply to the rich ppl but only to the poor ppl.
Are you an expert in the jungle?😃
GREAT VID, A NICE BUILT IN GROUND SHEET MIGHT BE NICE!, KEEP SAFE AND WELL. FROM SURREY
Wonderful to see you so happy, and blimey what a glorious woodland. Has your dad seen it yet, silly question really I cannot imagine him not seeing it. Specially when he is fishing for huge shark in his boat. I find sea fishing exciting not that I can do it. So I look forward to you and your mate building something in your lovely woodland. Love and Light 😊
Yes Dad has seen it! He’ll be in one of the episodes soon :)
4 my 2 cents.
Cut your bacon in half
Maybe you could interest your wife into helping you run the product line or help in a different way to free up some of your time maybe she could camp with you sometime and interest her into nature and camping even if behind the scene just suggesting
The chimney on your stove looks to be the finger-sliciest thing I've ever laid eyes on.
It was such a pleasure watching this, you made me smile so many times. You sharpening your ax was so great, i am most of the time the weird one who sharpens his knife on the back of an un glazed ceramic coffee cup. i also was drinking a beer, i cheers with you in spirit! That wood stove in combination with the tent is so cool, also really inconspicuous. I was really hoping for a video, and I was way too hyped up. and i am even more hyped up now after watching, so no let down hahaha this is so cool! great to be around to watch this, it the greatest thing on youtube to me.
Good choice in drink there Mike! Perfect for a winters night. After watching you and your dads videos I’ve just ordered myself a hot tent stove. But mines going in my shed. Keep up the great videos 👍
Congratulations on spending your first night in your own woodland. Awesome! 🍾🥂
Nice to see you video
Hey Mike love ur content should be more people getting in touch with wild living, having trouble finding places putting these practices in fruition in the south legally if u have any suggestions pls let me know. Keep up what ure doing always appreciated
It is amazing how I stay far from your channel times to times, and when I come back, it always brings me some peace. Loving to see your new woodland, the best journey for you, mate!
I see a potential problem with the stove jack cover collecting rain or snow. I think I would prefer it roll up to the top and shed water around the jack or be completely removable
I thought the exact same thing, personally I would prefer it completely removable since it's velcro anyway
What a lovely woodland. I'm so happy for you. Merry Christmas and a bright New Year.
Great video and a great adventure. You need a permanent log cabin, maybe a bit bigger than the one you use in your other location as a base in the woods. Camping is fine but it can’t be fun in bad weather and thick snow. With a cabin your family could enjoy overnighting in the woods.
Great way to spend the first night at your amazing property, the ten modification make also absolutely sense, with the rain it was for sure very cozy in there, I just wonder how much you cooked, hungry Milke LOL, thanks for sharing, take care, Taro
I think you'll find it's 20 cm so that's 200mm I do love your videos I watch every week no wonder you're so happy with your own wood good luck and I'm looking forward to whatever you do there wish you and all your family very merry Christmas
That's such a special happiness camping on your new property for the fist time. Congrats!
It’s the little things that you do that makes me think about what I can do to make things easier for myself.
The way you split the wood👏👏👏
I'gonna to make a camamilla, manzanilla or how you call it? It serves to regulate the temperature of the body. Very hot, if have the hands or foot like me, very cold, it serves to repartir through your body the temperature...
With sugar!!! Obviously. The world think that only the salt gives savour to the food, but the sugar too. If you add sugar in camamilla or manzanilla is more savourly.
Usually you want the stove jack cover rolled up on top of pipe instead of hanging from the bottom. This way water runs around the pipe preventing less rain water from entering tent while using the stove...
I thought the exact same thing when I saw that
I'd love to do what you do, I'm in Ireland and a lot of land is private, it's just incredible how you made your own portable stove , I see the ones you buy online are about 10kg, need a separate bag to carry, and you'd need a car to get really out in the wild with all the gear. You seem to have solved that problem, which allows you to stay out longer and carry your gear longer distances?
How many acres is it? Lovely wood!
Hello Mike, the lavu is great. What a great job with all the addition. Congrats! Beautiful land. Are you going to put a trail cam when you go back to camp? Please answer my question? God bless you and your family
Yes I currently have 2 trail camera’s up. Just need to move them around to find the right active game trails and then it will be interesting to see!
@@TAOutdoors thank you so much for your answer. You made my day with your answer.
Hi Mike
You can use a ridge line through the d ring to support your lavoo so it can be hung between to trees 🌳 which will give a bite more shelter.
Have fun in your 🪵 catch you later.
This is how I plan to set mine up once I get it back from Shaun from modifications to my size 3! To be honest with you I don't think I'll ever use a pole ever again. It'll be Ridgeline or external tripod for me from now on
I always used to put a tarp down first after I raked up the area then put my tent on top of the tarp it keeps the tent 20 times dryer than without it. Huge difference you should give it a try.
So happy for you Mike; you can feel your energy coming through the video, like waking up that first morning in a new house. Merry Christmas brother.
Hi Mike,
What's to stop water running under the skirt with this style of tent? Loved the video, cheers
Hi Jack, what do you mean? The water runs off the skirt. The canvas material is waterproof so water runs off. It’s fairly thick and heavy duty so it can take a lot of weight of water.
I forgot to say:
What if you ran a line between two trees, to support the D-ring at the top of the tent? Secured to the trees, higher than the D-ring. Then you could tighten that up to get the tent however tight you want it.
Absolutely agree. Hanging it from a Ridgeline or from an external tripod is definitely the way to go.
