    I stayed out in my woods behind my home one night and while the fire crackled as I lay there starting up, I was mesmerized by the orange yellow glow of the fire making shadows dance on the tree canopy and a large Great Horned Owl flew directly over me and it cast a huge shadow from the fire on the under canopy of the trees as I lay there in awe, truly awesome experience.

    Alexis,
    Hi' !
    I comment here to express my gratitude to you once again.
    I attempt to make a brief summary and focus what your efforts here represent for me my friend .
    Mainly at about 75% I find therapy in your efforts with the balance being wool blankets , owls , and a sense of closeness with the Earth.
    In a most respectful way also a study of your hands , your hands and your dexterity in using them , is like that of a physician .
    Your approach to caution and safety mindfulness to handle sharp tools with care while alone in the wilderness brings a sense of security in the viewing experience also.
    `LIKED'

Hope he is well too. Been following him since he was a pup too. Had to shorten my woods excursion last weekend, whacked my hand with a Silky Saw so it's on the mend now. I'll be back at it as soon as I can. Got to get my hiking in before it gets to be kayaking season for me. Keep up the awesome videos, always enjoy watching them.

      Great to see someone wearing leather boots that can put the fire out properly by crushing the burning remains of the logs, rather than synthetic sneakers that melt. The wool blanket also allowed her to sleep close to the fire without having to worry about embers. Wool also diffuses carbon monoxide when the fire dies down, rather than getting trapped inside.

And that blanket from bushcraftspain looks so comfortable!!!!!

    Traditional Scottish plaid was 5 yards long and 5 feet wide. It was clothing, blanket and shelter all wrapped up in one. The modern day brogue copies in pattern the original shoes that had holes to facilitate drying as we have bogs, streams and rivers to navigate on the most simplest of walks.

    It's funny to think about how whenever a youtuber wakes up at a camp site and says good morning to the camera, they actually already woke up, turned the camera on, went back to bed, then pretended to wake up again for the camera. Always gets me. With that said, cool video. I like the waxed cotton idea. I've noticed myself using way too many ziplock bags as of late. I think I'll give that a try.

    That was delightful. I learned of your Ch. on the Canoe Hound's Interview with Jon and his Wife of the Lost Lakes Ch. It's going to be a pleasure spending time here, your Host Demeanor is charming, the content great and relaxing. Thanks Much, Blessings from Oregon ... Mike
