  • On this adventure I head out for a solo winter camping trip in the snow. I setup the small canvas tent and woodstove, make a bushcraft fire reflector and make this camp my home for 3 days. On the second day a snow storm arrived from the east, bringing with it ice rain and blizzard like conditions. I cook up food on the woodstove and campfire to keep me warm. I also attempt a primitive bowdrill in a snowstorm. Thanks for joining me on the adventure - Mike

    When you go far into the forest, when your phone is silent, it does not catch the signal, and the sleeping bag on the foam replaces your favorite bed! When your dinner is boiling in a black pot on a hot fire, and all your clothes are soaked through with smoke. You forget about all your problems, they simply do not exist, there is you and the silence of the forest! The silence from which is muffling. Your senses sharpen as you hear the wind, the rustle of grass, and leaves. The creaking of the trunks. At this moment, you feel that you are alive, you are alive now, you listen to your breath, your heart, Nothing can replace these feelings. You are cleansed of all that weighed on you yesterday. Just you and nature. And you're on your own. You're alive now, and that's all that matters. For this we go to the forest. To experience it, over and over again. Those who have experienced it will understand. Those who have not experienced it, still have everything ahead of them. Thank you for giving me this feeling. Thank you for making such content that attracts people to put on a backpack and go to wander along the forest path, your work makes people really happy. 👍My channel on You Tube is just starting to take shape. If you don't mind, please put a few likes and a couple of short comments.

    Hey Mike!
    I've been watching and dropping the occasional comment for well over a year now - usually praising the leaps and bounds you take in production levels!
    Something I've neglected to say is just how much your videos help me, personally. I experience fairly decent anxiety that leads to depression. Watching your videos really helps. Not only are you a lovely chap with a warm and positive energy, you remind me of how healing it is to be in the wilderness. Swinging a sharp axe is better than any medication! Your videos capture the spirit of outdoors in a way that allows us, as viewers, to connect with it. That takes a special talent, and love and respect for the outdoors on your part.
    Thank you, Mike.
    Love to yourself, Graham, Jaxx, the Mrs, and all the fam!

      For some time now, it began to seem to me that this forest is ultimately part of my “I”. I wandered within myself. Just like blood circulates through blood vessels. It turns out that I saw my own inner world in front of me, and what looked menacing in my eyes, in fact, was an echo of the fears that had settled in me. The web that entangles me is the web of spiders spread in my heart. And the birds that chirp overhead are raised by me. These are the images that were born and took root in my head.

  • @SLO-Ride

    Good trick for better insulation, while still allowing ventilation for gas build up, is to pile leaves along the outside bottom of the tent, effectively "sealing" the tent base. The leaves will act as a barrier against wind and snow, while not blocking the transfer of fresh air. This will allow a smaller fire to maintain in the stove.
    American Plains Indians, who used portable housing (the ubiquitous TeePee), piled dirt or sand around the base to fully seal off weather. An inner liner kept an open space between the tent wall, and the living area, creating a draft effect that kept stale air and smoke rising to the open vent in the top of structure. Fresh air was controlled by how open the access flap was kept. A small fire pit in the center radiated heat to keep the TeePee warm, and also created the upward draft that kept the inner area smoke free.

    This was lovely to watch! A few quick tip from Northern Norway: Eat more! Your body burns a ton of calories to keep you warm. You'd probably be less cold and tired if you did :) And when you wake up with snow on your canvas, beat it off (from the inside) before firing up the stove. When you leave the snow on the canvas and heat it up, it melts in large quantities and seeps into the fabric as it runs down. When you beat it off first, it can' melt and make your canvas wet (for then to be dried by the fire) because it's on the ground already! :D

    I never had much success with a bow drill over my years of (summer) camping. Few of the many who have tried have found the patience and the skill and the fiddly circumstances necessary to make a lasting ember. Cold and damp make it that much more difficult to raise wood dust temperature by friction. That is just one of the ways in which this has been a great 'teaching' video. I am impressed and surprised by the serious shelter those two ponchos provide in cold conditions. The G stove is so well designed and sturdy that it is truly photogenic. Thanks for showcasing the heating and cooking capabilities of the small-sized stove. In that regard, the egg-cooking demonstration on the third morning was absolutely necessary. The pan you used also deserves a 'shout out' for the eggs not sticking or burning.

      True, but with non-stop snow every year, it justifies spending money and effort on preparing for it. In the South of the UK, it's easier to put up with a minor inconvenience once every 5 years.
      Here it's more wind chill and the wet which is the problem. I teach Polish students who laugh at the small amount of snow, yet moan about how cold they are here.

    Canadian winter camping tips: To seal-off the bottom of your shelter/tent and keep cold from drafting in, pack snow over the ends of your tent. even if the snow melts and freezes back into ice, it can't freeze through enough to seriously effect the malleability of the material. Instead of packing a stove for a small shelter, consider packing a gas lantern. it won't warm the shelter up as /much/ but it'll give you a good ten degree difference in temperature [which is enough with the right sleeping equipment] , be easier to stow in a pack, and also serve dual purpose as a light source both in and out of your shelter. also, with a lantern, carbon monoxide poisoning is much less of a concern.

I think it's legit that you talk about the stove deal you have coming up and how it impacts you financially. Glad you don't dirty up the message. Y worrying about being "p.c".

    I almost didn't even watch this, but now I'm subbed. Thought "Ok, I don't think I want to watch an hour long video if he's not going to talk at all." Made it to 10 minutes, thought "I wonder what he's making here?" By the time I saw the bacon going into the pan I thought "Ok I don't care if he doesn't talk at all, I'm watching this whole thing."
    Less than 5 minutes later my first thought was "I could've swore this guy was going to be Canadian!!"

      For some time now, it began to seem to me that this forest is ultimately part of my “I”. I wandered within myself. Just like blood circulates through blood vessels. It turns out that I saw my own inner world in front of me, and what looked menacing in my eyes, in fact, was an echo of the fears that had settled in me. The web that entangles me is the web of spiders spread in my heart. And the birds that chirp overhead are raised by me. These are the images that were born and took root in my head.

Hey T.A. a great rendition of common sense about the weather. I love that stove good size & easy to maintain & to keep hot. What could be lovely for a quick meal is sachets that are creamy cheese with pasta & made with water & butter, you can add other food & you can keep half of it back for later, very filling. Easy to transport around Cool video.

    I planned & dreamed for 🏕️ camping in the outdoors.
    Was getting disappointed with myself not being full-time out there.
    Than I become homeless in the summertime & got my first tent.Was a bit scary for the first few days only having 1-2 mm wall around me.Gradually got used to the colder weather as time
    went by.This way was easy adjustment towards my minus 7 night time + snowy few days. It was a thrill surviving that first winter.
    My friends & I was even proud of it.Even had a nasty flue for 3 weeks camping out but I just kept warm & healthy eating.This started at the age of 63.Have an apt now but once a week or more still sleeping in my rent.I can't wait for a good minus 10 overnight.More tests on me.The often calmness of nature changes you to be a better person.Not to mention the stormy days & nights!!!🏕️😜.Nature rules! You adopt.

      Почему-то мне кажется, что парень не ночевал в палатке! А приготовить еду на печке дело нехитрое! Просто мне доводилось жить неделями в брезентовой шестиместной палатке при морозах ниже 30 градусов и это не назовёшь удовольствием! Печка мне нравится, но она очень маленькая и чтобы в палатке было хотя бы +5 градусов необходимо заделать все щели снизу, на трубу печную надеть жестяную разделку, которая не даст тёплому воздуху выходить на улицу и в течении всего времени подкладывать дрова в печь через каждый час! На пол настелить елового лапника, на лапник положить самонадувающийся коврик, пуховый спальник, обязательно с температурой комфорта не ниже минус 20 градусов Цельсия, тогда можно ночевать не подвергая своё здоровье опасности.
      Такая печь называется экономкой, потому, что у неё есть регулировка поступления воздуха в топку. Эта очень полезная функция позволяет поддерживать в палатке равномерную температуру и реже подкладывать дрова. Мне кажется, что это постановочное видео.

      Its called survival of the fittest or natural selection with wildlife. Its been going on for millions of years. The strong survive and the weak die. Gets rid of the bad genes. This year we had record snow in 40 years or so. One dipshit I work with started feeding the wild rabbits behind the shop. They no longer go out to forage. They just sit behind shop waiting to get fed. Feeding wildlife is not good for them. I put in my two weeks notice this week. Tired of working with dipshits.
