Solo Bushcraft: Camping Alone in the Woods

There is something very satisfying to me about practicing solo bushcraft while camping alone in the woods. It is a chance to unwind and enjoy nature and the peace that is in the woods. Solo camping is not for everyone as some people may not enjoy being alone in the woods, however for some, a solo overnighter may be the perfect opportunity to get away from the stress of daily life and recharge undisturbed in the woods. I hope you will come along with me and enjoy the sights and sounds from my camp as I practice solo bushcraft while camping alone in the woods.

I was so pleased to see you bow your head, and thank God for his blessing, and the food. I've not seen anyone else do that.
Thank you so much Debbie! I think recognizing our many blessings both big and small is the key to true happiness. Thank you for your interest and kind words :)
Same here
All glory to the Lord Jesus Christ!
Debbie, James Bender of WayPoint Survival does it too. His videos are MARVELLOUS.
Thanks for letting me camp with you. I haven't been camping in years because I'm all crippled up, but I'd really like to find a place and go out to spend some time in the woods. Thanks again.
Loved when you prayed don’t see that enough these days
Thank you brother! I appreciate your kind words and support!

I make last minute decisions to head out to the woods myself. My folks bought me that exact same back pack when I was 13. I passed it down to my oldest son when he was 14. The pack is well made and over 40 years old. Great Video. God Bless
It’s an older video I know but let me say Matt is an awesome dude at the pathfinder gathering he was my neighbor and knows about hammock camping ⛺️ and guarantee you never did a flint and steel fire till now because of this Man👍👊
Matt, can I hand on a tip? If you have to collect SMALL timber, carry a 2.5kg (5lb) paper flour bag. It folds up flat very nicely, it has a gusset and you can actually IRON and fold it flat so its not much bigger than a postcard and about as thick. But ASTONISHINGLY strong. I also carry the little 1kg one folded into the big one and the little one can just be placed on the fire and lit. It holds all your kindling together. Also, I carry in the bottom of my kit the lid of a largeish tin so if the ground is damp I can put the lid on the ground and put the basic kindling on top of it.
Lol when you said fire wood was my responseablity I felt that I jumped up and went looking for my saw lol 😂
LOL! That is fun work :) Thank you for tuning in!
I always enjoy solo camping videos. I always take-away something.
I would NOT watch a 38 minute video from any other Bushcrafter but you. I tried to watch a 38 minute video from David Canterbury once, but after an hour and forty-five minutes I finally gave up. You ROCK, Matt. Now, what the hell should I do with this handful of smalls and log I gathered for you?
LOL! You never fail to give me a chuckle Jim!! Hang on to those smalls, we are going to need them soon for another video :) Thanks for hanging in there for the whole 38 mins! I will try not to let them get too much longer lol! Take care buddy!
Sir,you are rocking with survival techniques.Awesome.
I use a 6x6 piece of stainless chainmail with a hang ring in one corner to do camp dishes. Works great for cast iron skillets too. It's light, takes up a negligible amount of room and makes dishes way easier. Set the pan upside down in the fire and use the mail to scrape it out after its burnt.
Great to see a young man share his passion. Thank You Brother for that. The gift of the outdoors is one of God's most beautiful to us, and so incredible when we take time to enjoy it. Thank You 👍

Thanks for the nature soak!
Great video Matt 👍 have a blessed day thanks again
It ain't my job to get the firewood - It's the young-uns! LOL!
I hear that! It is some times hard to get them to collect it! In the time that they pick up one or two pieces, I will be sitting by the fire with a stack of wood ready to go :) I teach a Pathfinder Youth Group monthly and they never look happy when I say "collect fire materials!"
Outstanding as always brother!! Always look fwd to your videos!!
Thanks for being thankful. Appreciated the h prayer. We need it in COVID Country. 😇
Great video Matt, keep up the great info! Thank you.
Thanks!
A lot of interesting and useful information.
Happy travels
Really like the tip on smelling the saw for fatwood, that's going in the keeper box.
Great video, Matt!
Dude, great video and I appreciate your openness regarding your faith
I do believe this is the first overnight video I've seen you do - excellent job!!!
Really enjoy the pace and style of your videos. Love the nod to The Father, church affect the rest of our days! Good stuff, keep it coming!
Keep them coming Master Matt! 👊
There's good reason for the heightened senses! Yesterday evening I was out camping and getting ready to cook when I heard shuffle and got the feeling I should watch what came over the hill. Over the hill walks a hog. I don't care if you like guns or not, you become Doc Holiday when you see a hog staring you down.
Oh my Goodness! All those videos of all the damage hogs do and how dangerous they are. They killed a woman a while back, right in front of her house!!!
Great video Matt! I always enjoy the solo overnighters when I get the chance. And good tip on the hunting pad!
I use the same skillet and when I was camped in New Mexico I cleaned mine with some creek sand. It scrubbed up just fine. Even took some of the black spots from former fires away. Love pathfinder products.
Great stuff Matt. Enjoyed the adventure. Lots of good little tips to make life easier at camp!
Thank you so much for coming along Madison! I appreciate your time and interest! Hope to see you again at the Gathering this year if not before 🙂
Awesome Channel family friendly. Thank you
Solid video. Great content for the community. Excellent adventure
I agree 💯 with that statement!!
To me the best food is cooked over a campfire because of the added smoky taste.
God Bless you
I really liked the talk at the end. Well said sir.
You definitely have my subscription to your channel, very educational you're definitely one of my favorites👍👍👍👍
Great video brother really love what you do! Keep up the good job!
Carry you a small potato and alittle kosher salt cut the potato in half put alittle salt in your pan and scrub it with the potato it will take alot if not all the stuff off your pan keep up the good work i enjoy all your videos
Now THAT sounds like an interesting tip!
You’re just having fun here. Love it!
Absolutely! These little solo trips are good for my soul! I do have fun sharing with my friends and subscribers here as well. Thank you for joining me!
Good Morning Brother Matt ! I've Never Been The First To Watch A New Video . . . Until Today. After Watching It Through, 197 Others Had Viewed It Also. Another Awesome Video From The Woods Mister, Thank You. Here's Something You Might Try, Works Well For Me. Stop In A Cracker Barrel, Have Some Pancakes With One Extra Syrup. Then, Take The Empty Bottles Home, Clean Them Out And Refill One With Olive Oil. Use Another One To Carry Out Some Popcorn Seeds For A Mid-Day Or Bedtime Snack In The Woods. The Glass Sidewall Are Quite Thick Enough, They Will Not Break. You Mentioned The Early Bird Gets The Worm. True. But It Is The Second Mouse That Gets The Cheese From The Trap. :-) Do Not Rush Anything When Out In The Woods, Enjoy Those Moments. God Bless, Darrell
Wonderful camping trip!
Thanks for another great video. No need to worry about the noise of city or town cars. I have the same issue where I live. Good hammock and tarp setup. One thing I bought for my tarp is a Wise Owl Outfitters Hammock Sleeve. I cut my the tarp ridge line the total length of the Hammock and straps stretched out. Using the Wise Owl Outfitters Hammock Sleeve I can easily set up my tarp in high wind conditions, once the tarp ridge line is secure the tarp is secure making it easier to tie out. when its time to pack up. just slide the hammock skin back over the tarp, fold it in half and roll it up then wrap the ridge line around it to keep it together. this works for me and made my setup and take down time much quicker. Just a thought if you didn't already know.
Matt, this was a great video. Probably my favorite one you've done. I really liked you engaging us with a little humor about collecting firewood. It made me feel like I was there with you. Keep it up! I'll keep watching. 👍
Thank you so much for your kind words Steven! I really appreciate your interest and support!
Fatwood for the win! Awesome video! Love your approach and how informative your videos are! Keep them coming and stay safe. God bless!
Good video! Looks peaceful.
Another nice video. I enjoy your content a lot!
I agree with you on that 💯!
Great video.....thanks
Really enjoyed the video, brother! Just beginning my journey in bush craft camping and looking forward to seeing more videos from you.
Another great video! You are amazing at presenting your knowledge and passion of survival and bushcraft in a way that is warm and inviting. You belong in the realm of les Stroud, dave Canterbury and ray Mears.
Outstanding rake!
Another great video 🏆
God bless 🙏🙏
Thank you Matt.Ive camped a few times and I loved it.As a female,I wouldnt feel safe alone,not without packing a firearm or a man.lol.Camping through you and Corporals Corner is the next best thing.
Agreed..
I’m a 23 y/o male and carry a handgun when I camp (technically I carry it everywhere but whatever). There’s nothing wrong with wanting to carry a firearm until you’re more comfortable.
Truly the only thing I’ve had to use it on was a rattlesnake, but I carry it to handle hogs.
If you’re concerned about people you may run into that’s a whole different ballgame, shooting someone in the woods in self defense could get legally hairy imo.
All that aside, just talk some friends into going with you as often as possible. I’ve found camping with my buds to be very relaxing and a great bonding experience.
I truly appreciate you you taking the time to tune in and I understand completely where you are coming from. Honestly, I would recommend to you to carry a firearm if you are going solo in the woods however, if you aren't comfortable with going solo, don't feel bad at all. Trust your gut and do what feels right. It may be that camping with others is what is best for you and there is nothing wrong with that at all :) Just being out there is what is important whether solo or group camping. Take care!
I usually do or Ill bring my blue heeler..I am fortunate my family owns alot of land between TN & north ga so I'm able to play around in those woods when I get to back home..thanks for your videos great content
@@liveinlove5958 That is awesome to have access to lots of land like that to be able to explore and establish camp. I am fortunate to have some land access but it isn't very large of an area. I am thankful for what we have. I appreciate your time and interest very much! Take care.
Very good ideas, Thank you very much
Great Video Matt sausage looked awesome 👍
Love your tea cup!
Thank you Vicki! It is a Kupilka Large Cup made in Finland. I love Kupilka camp gear and honestly use it daily at home too! If you are interested to learn more, there is a link in the description box. I have an amazon page with camp kitchen cookware. You can see all about it there. Thank you for your time and interest! Take care.
Nice video! Good tips! Thanks for sharing!
I hit the “Like” button before the video even started. I knew it was going to be great. It was. Thank you for it, Brother.
Uncle JD Far better than most for sure.
mrwes100, definitely agree.
Thank you so much for your support and kind words Uncle JD! I truly appreciate that my friend.
@@mrwes100 Thank you so much brother!
It always is. I do the same. he's encouraging and instructional.
This is a very, very, good video, I learned a few things that I had totally forgotten. You are also right about getting out and using those skills, other wise you may forget some of those skills.
Great video....!!
Catching up on your recent content. Greatly appreciate your skill, insight, attitude, and faith.
Great video Matt, take care brother😎
"OUTSTANDING"
Thank you so much Tim! I appreciate you tuning in!
The aint corporals corner it was great LOL.
Great video 👍 thanks for sharing 🍺✌️😎🍺
Great video, God bless
Thank you for a great little trip! I very much enjoyed it. Frank
Very nice. God bless.
Thank you for another great video.
Thank you so much for your interest and kind words Peter! I appreciate you tuning in!
Thanks for another great video..what a fantastic dinner love the vidalia onion..being from east coast I dont like other onions..
Enjoyed watching your video 👍
What an enjoyable trip. Enjoyed your simple but nourishing meal as well. Matt, if you ever get up North here, be sure and give me a holler. Lord willing, maybe we could even enjoy some coffee over a campfire or two in the back country.
Lonnie, That would be more than an honor my friend!! If I can get up that way I will absolutely let you know! I would enjoy that so much. I have had a dream of visiting Alaska since childhood. I truly hope to make it happen sometime and no doubt, you could show me the part that I would like to see, the back country, a little off the beaten path :) Thank you so much for tuning in and for your kind words Lonnie! Blessings to you and Connie my friend.
Great video.
Excellent video! Good for you for taking some time to get out in nature.
I totally understand about getting away from highways. One of my favorite hangouts is a stone's throw from Hwy 64 so I always hear traffic. If I'm doing a dedicated campout for a few days I've got some family land in Pamlico Co which is 50+ miles away from any major roadway. I love it out there!
Anyway, great job and God bless!
Great video, enjoyed. Your overnight camping trip, and skills setting up camp!
Thank you so much Ron! I really appreciate your time and interest!
Looked like a great time Matt👍👍one of the things that you said was that food always tastes best in the outdoors. I have to agree. Thanks for sharing and we’ll catch ya on the next episode. ATB Mike
Thank you so much for your time and interest Mike! I really appreciate you tuning in my friend! 🙂
Love dinner grace! Thank you for that!
Thank you so much Vicki! I think is always import to give thanks to the Lord for blessings :)
Great video, the extra toggle to lift your tarp corner was something new to me, really cool!
Thank you so much Lane! I really enjoy trying different tweaks to my tarp like that to get it in the optimal position for any given camp. I appreciate your time and interest and I hope the idea will be useful for you as well :)
I do my prep - mis en plas - at home and take food ready to cook with me. I like to have omelettes so a jar with the eggs in it is good and then a plastic with the rest of the stuff, peppers, tomatoes, etc and a small plastic bottle of oil.
Thanl for this inspirational video. I keep wanting to go out but I am a little intimidated going out alone.
I've never been alone in the woods overnight.
Thanks you from the Great Northwoods,NH
Great channel!
Really enjoyed. Now get to church!
next time, fan the fire with the cushion so you don't have to get all that smoke in your place. Much more efficient. Loved the video.
The Corporal sent me here. Great video!
Always enjoy when you share your fire sir , always appreciate your views and style of doing camp chores . God bless you and your endeavors!
Thank you so much Jeff! I truly appreciate your kind words friend! God bless you and yours as well!
Enjoyed your video I am learning so much from watching these videos, also that meal looked great, thanks for posting best wishes to you my friend, cheers from ireland
When I saw you pray I subscribed. Thanks for the content!
Justin, read the comments and see HOW MANY people approved. It's HEARTENING. James Bender of WayPoint Survival does it as well.
Good vid bro! Could almost taste the deer sausage dish!
I like watching your videos ❤. Thanks 🙏😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate your time and interest very much.
Great video, I really enjoyed it.
You made me hungry!
Thank you for posting
Thanks so much for tuning in Ken! I appreciate you interest and support!
Absolutely loved it brother! So good to see you out havin a good time. Its been awhile since i did an overnighter n i need one! Sausage and peppers looked a mighty fine meal! I found these exercise mats 4x8 for 20$ at wallys world. Such a good deal i cut it and ended up with 2 6ft sleep pads and a sit mat plus an insert for a small alice pack i got.. them mossy oak ones i seen. Pretty thick so i know it must be comfortable! 👍👍👍
Thank you so much Rick! It was very enjoyable to be out there for a quick overnight and just enjoy the fire, the fresh air and the sounds of the forest. Your idea about the mat sounds really good. That way you can custom size it to you needs. I may have to try that at some point. I appreciate you sharing that idea and of course for tuning in! Take care brother!
great stuff! corporal sent me here. subbed 👍
Loved the Commando reference! lol! Good stuff as always! 👍🏽
That was one of my favorite movies back in the day :) Still a classic that I just have to break out every once in a while. Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting my friend!
Black Hat Bushcraft between you and Corporal Shawn, I’m learning a ton of stuff! I hope to get to the point where I can teach basic (BASIC) skills to young kids. A long way to go though. 😊👍🏽
well I have to say I'm proud of you. Cowboy coffee. No sissy geopress, french press, filters, etc. That's how it should be. Save on stuff you have to carry.
Looks like fun, ty for sharing
Thank you so much for tuning in my friend! I am glad you enjoyed it :)
@@blackhatbushcraft Of course, thank you for what you do! I have always enjoyed your videos.
That pine behind you is a long leaf pine isn't it? I live in Wayne County NC and I have those trees all over the place. Great video and keep up the great work. Its inspiring.
