Building a Camp in a Thunderstorm | survival shelter, bushcraft, perimeter walls, fire pit

- Join me as I build an enclosed bushcraft and survival camp in a thunderstorm and heavy rain. I use a bushcraft axe, saw and knife to build perimeter walls by stacking logs and lashing them together. I then use some. of the off-cuts of the giant ash tree to extend the walls. Using as logs I build a fireplace with a spit for a pot hanger setup. I also build a log bench from part of the ash tree. Stay tuned as I build the beds and roof to the shelter soon!

Who remembers the Bushcraft Camp series?? Time for another epic one!
That was one of my favorite series.
Can’t wait gonna be just as good as the first one if not better
Let’s gooo
It is what brought me to your channel. Haven't been able to leave yet. Looking forward to this build!
Yes Mike.
Watching you and your last camp build was a massive inspiration to me and nearly 5 years on I’m still doing it.
Looking forward to this.
Cheers mate.
I was wondering when you would start some Bushcraft in your woodland. I know it is not the primary or sole purpose of your purchase of the land, but it is such a part of what your channel is about that I knew it would be part of your woodland life. Thanks for taking us along.
As my Mother used to say, don't worry about the rain. You're neither sugar nor salt, you shan't melt.
I absolutely love that quote! Never heard it so thank you to you and your mother:). One I use a lot is “some people feel the rain, others just get wet- Bob Marley”
Feel I need to use it nearly everyday living in Scotland😂!
It must be great, having ur own bit of woodland, it only means more great videos coming!! Keep up the good work Mike I appreciate what ur doing!! 👍
I really liked it when you and your friend made those woven stick wall / fence pieces and maybe they’d add more security and protection from the elements
I'm glad you're finally getting a bushcraft camp started, your last one was the reason I subscribed to your channel. I watch everything that you do but the camp building videos are what it is all about. My brother has just purchased a bit of woodlands near me and has asked me to manage it for him. I am going to use so many of the skills that I have learned from you in the months and years to come! I am even considering filming my journey and putting it on youtube thanks to you.
Do it!
@@wouldulikesomescons I have got a couple of go pro cameras and have started planning things so I am nearly ready to start filming. I am not so sure I could make it as interesting as TA does, he seems to very good at talking to the camera. The woodlands that I am gonna be managing is beautiful though, it has a stream and has a load of dears and other wildlife living there. I am so excited and have so many plans for it. I think if I can get the presenting part down, I could make a really good series. Watch this space!!
@@markjust86 TA is a former teacher, so he's actually studied how to present information to an audience in an interesting and engaging way. So yeah, he's really good at this, haha.
That being said, if you find presenting to camera a challenge, and something you want to get better at - one way to deal with that to some extent is if you can bring a friend/family member with you to film. Put them behind the camera, and then explain what you're doing to that person, rather than the abstract idea of your audience. Tell them to ask follow-up questions if you're being unclear. Easy to be a good host to someone you already like, you know? :-)
i really missed this series all i can say is welcome back legend
I would love to see the cooking fire made in the middle of the home. out of rocks and mud .. so glad to see you building again Thank you Ive missed it
I like the cabin you were doing with your Dad, I love to watch your videos and it is always nice to see your little dog. I have not seen your Bushcraft Camp videos. So I can not wait to see the outcome of it all. Look forward to the next videos.
A reciprocal roof may be a good idea for the camp with it having a hole in the middle for the fire pit!👍
What a magical place you live in. Green plants all over the place and stuff growing...
Hey! Good job!
I lived alone in the forest for nine months, getting great pleasure from communicating with nature. But due to the military invasion of my country, I had to return to the city. But I still have a video archive with my adventures
My heart and prayers are with all of you in the Ukraine. My church is hosting and helping a family who made it to the US. You are all amazing people.
Thank you very much.
Stay safe out there!
As always, another great video! Miss seeing your father with you, he’s such a fun hoot to watch….
Yes this is what I’ve been waiting for. Your first series a few years ago helped me when I had just had open heart surgery. For some reason those series’s were so therapeutic for me. Then of course loved all the other builds as well.
I love that you are starting Bushcraft Camp 2.0 with Jax along with you!
Looking forward to many enjoyable and interesting videos on the progress of the camp.
Awesome seeing you getting back to your roots. (Pun intended) I can see you having your own village like Justin and you made with all of the ancient houses. This is going to be an exciting new series. Nice seeing Jack again. Respect from Florida! 🌴
I love seeing the hedge coming alone and i hope you continue to post updates of it becoming a true living fence.
I personally would be so nervous that I would break my axe while using it as a hammer. LOL Can't wait to see what this new spot will look like. I do love the building you put up using that ash wood, the walls are amazing looking.
This should be great considering everything you learned from the last one! If you're going to do a vented fire pit, don't forget to put your draft line in before all the other stuff is in the way. Going to be epic for sure.
As a longtime viewer, it's nice to see you getting back to your roots. Nice to see Jax growing a great woods partner as well.
A reciprocal frame roof seems to be perfect for the shelter you're building
This show always brings the sun into my day even if yours Is rainy
So happy to see you and Jax back in the bush and building a bushcraft shelter, terrific! Lovely to see you incorporating the majestic tree base in it as well. What a magnificent location you’ve chosen, the best of British countryside on your doorstep
The first camp was the reason I subscribed to you and still one of my favorites, both as a series and a camp, so excited to see how this one evolves!!!
Yeah another bushcraft fort well I can hope can't I lol. For the fire pit a Ash shingle roof Or you could go simple and make your own oil skin tarp. So looking forward to seeing a new bushcraft camp
Whenever I go camping I never seem to have enough time to put up even a fire reflector for example. The light always beats me by the time I gather wood, build a shelter (inc. when I bring tent) and make a fire. You are able to smash out a small camp before a hospital appointment, how you do it so quickly, and so well, baffles me!
Me 🙋♀️!! So glad to see you back with another series of building.Hope all is well with you and the family. God Bless and Be Safe!!
There's something really satisfying about seeing your camps come together. I'm looking forward to watching this one develop!
I don’t want to sound like a weird patriotic guy but you should try camping in the us’s Rocky Mountains. It is truly a wonderful experience. You could also do Canada, but it might be a little too cold. Also you don’t have to do that but different locations would be very cool.
The camp is coming along nicely. Miss your friend that use to help you build the bushcraft houses.
A perimeter wall brings back memories. You haven't done one since the Fort, right?
Nope! Feeling nostalgic!
I love watching people build - shelters, buildings, homes etc👍👍👍👍👍👍💚💜❤
Yay finally some bushcraft like the old good days with the fort! Looking good starting to take shape. And the forest is so beautiful in this time of year, majestic!
Your axe technique is always improving
Little tip for you with the Aeropress - Put the plunger in about 1cm, turn it upside down and add the coffee and water, screw the top on and let it brew then put the cup on (upside down) and flip it. You get all the water in the brew rather than it dripping out. Great video as always.
Turf roof will be good for the shelter. Another great video Mike. Looking forward to part 2.
I really love the Bushcraft Camp series, so I am especially looking forward to this build. There is a small chance that I may be able to do something similar in a friend's woodland in a year or so. I'm already in my 60s with some arthritis creeping in on me, so it won't be epic, but it should be fun.
Great video as always, Mike!
Building, tools, the little puppers 🐕. Love this!
Whether it's bushcraft, bunker or pallet builds, you always share the history with us. Just like you said the hedge fence goes back thousands of years. Thanks for all. Ohio
Great idea for the ash tree. Itll become as famous as The Major Oak... probably... :)
Maybe clay or rock enclosed fireplace / oven with appropriate chimney?!?
Love the content. Thanks
Yes! Quality Mike. Looking forward to the outcome of this build. Brilliant to see Jacks again, too! Love your style.
You were able to get a lot accomplished! You're moving along and I really enjoy watching you build. Jacks was a very happy dog today tootling around. I'm jealous of your lovely rain. We haven't had any in AGES and it's going to be 104° today. Ugh!
Good for you keep it up.
Had a thought… for your camp.
With the rain falling and running off your Tarp, why not think about making a water collector. You might be able to make something useful like an organic garden with irrigation from rain water.
You could make a wild food section and a veggie patch or even a tree nursery and re plant the trees.
Hope it is nothing to worry about. Take care all the family. Loving the new camp idea.
It is definitely time to double down on food and water preps guys! Happy to offer help and advice if needed👍
The best prep is to grow what you can. Anything your family can't consume can be bartered*.
@@PaleGhost69 Definitely, see my vid on 'The Prepper's Garden' 👍
With this kind of advertisement in someone elses comment section i for one will make sure NOT to watch.
@@Moewenfels Spreading the word on prepping to like minded fellows. This is a comments section where we can discuss freely, there is no other way to chat and network on RUclips. Don't like the comment? Then read the next friend.
@@Moewenfels To be fair, they didn't advertise until I brought up the subject of prepper gardens
Man you are living the life.
This has to be the best outdoor channel on the tube.
I just love your pot hangers! I've been making a few of these to use as hangers around the garden. I would suggest a 3 sided lean to if you only plan to use it as a summer camp,, that you can build upon later when it gets cooler for winter. But only if the prevailing winds favor such a layout. Such a plan will give plenty of air flow while it is warm, shade, and modest protection from the wind. Give yourself a bit of an overhang in the front for rain, and elevate the back so you can use your home made bed. And add a wood storage bin to the side.
Your woodland is looking so fantastically lush and green right now. I always forget just how much I enjoy this time of year with the explosion of new growth and greenery. Not to mention it’s not yet too hot like it can get in the height of summer and the dreaded grass pollen is yet to really strike. Love it though, what an oasis. Can’t wait to see the new bushcraft camp come together 👍
To stop those logs sliding round as the walls throw abit of dirt inbetween them and that ash tree sawdust all wet like a nice dark orange as the bushcraft camp floor is amazing.
Čovek radi iz srce i sve duše, zato je ovo mnogo jak kvalitet, bravo...
If this camp get anywhere near as cool as the original one, then it's already going to be phenomenal, and knowing you, I'm sure this one will be even better than the OG. Stay safe Mike, love the vids!
You should stack those end cuts like bricks in a wall. I think it would be more sturdy and visually more appealing.
I don't know if it would be more work, but could you roof the two sides separately, with a space right down the middle for the fire and the ash stump? Rather than covering it. That way it can grow all sorts of lovely things on it through the summer.
So happy you have decided to do another camp. Can't wait to see how this one turns out!
I really enjoy being in the Woodlands. Thank you.
Mike, i've been eagerly awaiting for you to start work on bushcraft camp 2.0. So far so good! How about some sort of weaved structure for the walls with logs across the top? You could use strips of bark for the roof.
This camp deserves a TA Outdoors flag flying proudly.
Can't wait to see how it turns out.
I love that you're getting back to some bushcraft building -- not the only reason I'm here!! -- but it is so interesting. Also interesting: the update on the living hedge. And just watching your dog have fun around you. Looking forward to seeing more!
liking the look of this camp so far, nice to see Jax out enjoying a romp in the woods
I started watching towards the end of the first bushcraft camp series and subbed after I watched the first episode. I can’t believe I have been subbed for over 6 years. Can’t wait to see what you build with this camp. Hope the family is doing great and are healthy
For the roof it would be cool if it was like a milsurp cargo parachute canopy type roof the are pretty rugged and waterproof and not too expensive
I LOVE all you share with us but bushcraft the most. Thank you so much!
Yeah! Bushcraft camp Mark 2! Bigger and better! 😜
This is going to be epic.i was glued to the building of the fort.i can't wait to see what idea's you will come up with for this one.great to see the new growth on your fence coming up already.jacks really is great company in the woodland.keep up the terrific work.cheers Mike.
It's not just England mate.
I live in Northern NSW, Australia and it's been raining almost continuously for months.
We've had several really bad floods.
La Nina.
My favorite build of yours has to be the viking longhouse. I am always curious on how it is holding up.
Please keep doing content like this. Really enjoy watching these types of builds
I'm excited to see a bushcraft episode in addition to your working on your property
Good start. Looking forward to seeing how the camp evolves.
it may rain often there.. but enjoy it.. I live in the desert SW of the US.. I can count on one hand the # of days of rain we get.. trees... you're lucky if they get to the thickness of your arm... say nothing of the beautiful ash you have played with... and green leaves... very few.. even grass is rare. Cactus's mostly....
Boy am I glad I check your channel because RUclips doesn't tell me about videos I would love to see like this one
Love the new camp with the variety of walls, really interesting to look at. Can’t wait to see future installments of this new series.
Back at it! Looking forward to it. Thanks Mike!
Have a roof like an igloo, make triangles that rest against eachother, or on a center pole, or on opposing poles.
It's so wonderful to see you get to do this on your own property.
Each time you bend over to lug those logs Mike, my back screams in protest! Take care of your young body mate!
| was very wary of my back when lifting those lol I've done my back in before doing it. All about using legs as much as possible!
I love how tiny the dog is, makes me really want to take my Pomeranian camping and see how he likes it.
Those roots look like a great spot to lay down. I wonder how feasible it would be to make that your sleeping area like the old lean tos. Oh you could even use the off cuts as steps to get up there!
Thank you for the video!☼🤩👍♥
Very excited to see you making a new Bushcraft Camp, or Bushcraft Camp 2.0!
I'll definitely be watching with anticipation!
Loved watching this Mike your a legend can't wait for bushcraft camp 2.0 in your woodland it's going to be epic
You have a lot of little young bendy trees over there, you could grow a *LIVE ROOF* . Like, tree branches roof. Could take a while, but when you look at your camp, on the right those bendy trees are already suggesting a roof.... gothic structure style. :)
Edit to add: Aaand a few seconds later, you walk through "hedge lane"...and that shows exactly the kind of roof I was thinking of. Imma gonna watch the rest now, before I discover that you've already built the roof in some way!
The bird song is just wonderful . Wouldn't expect u not to build a shelter of some sort there ,be a shame not to .
You have very creative ideas! You are well done! you really love what you do, keep it up, good luck in your work))
👍👍👍
As always, another relaxing video.
If you don't already own one, you should definitely consider purchasing a hookaroon. You will not regret it.
A cheap hand tool that will help you in so many ways and certainly prevent back and shoulder strain.
I recommend the long-handle version.
Ryan will know where to buy one.
You are living my dream. Always enjoy watching. Thank you.
I look forward to seeing what bush craft you do this time xxx
truth be told, I do like this return to the bushcraft camp stories.
Fascinating - love your use of the big Ash! 🌳🔥
I can’t wait to see what you do in your bushcraft woodland
Love the audio background of the birds
I got a question! What do you usually do against ticks? If you spend so much time in a forest you probably got some good tips :)
Catch them early! It's hard to totally prevent them biting you, but if you see them on you while they are very small, I tend to use tweezers to gently pull them out.
I’ve really been trying to learn more bushcraft and this challenge is one of the best if not the best!!
If you're going to build a bed, try using long poles length wise instead of short sticks along the width of the bed. It saves a lot of cutting and sleeps better IMO.
thank you so much for this series ... seeing your woodland is oeaceful amd calming ... good for the soul. More birds, please? 😳😁🤣 ETA: sooo thrilled to see the new shoots of the hedge :) you're further along in spring than my part of the world, it makes me impatient
I love watching Jax in the background, tail wagging furiously.
🥳🎊🎉 I'm so happy to see you building another bushcraft camp.. 😎 The first camp build is the reason I joined this chanel.... 🍾🥂👍
Loved the Bushcraft Camp series - felt like I was a part of it even though sitting at home - look forward to the next epic 1! Thanks
I love that you are building another camp! Loved the last one!!! I learned a lot!!!
Love your channel!!! My 14 year old son and I are getting ready to head out to philmont scout ranch in New Mexico USA for a 12 day back country hike over 60 miles, and we take great inspiration and really enjoy all of your videos! You got me excited about the woods again!!
Just wanted to make a suggestion on the wall, how about on the low side of the fallen ash tree use longer logs on the top half of the wall you already built so they would fill in the gap on that side! Enjoyed the video!!
