![Coziest RAIN CAMPING in a Pine Forest [ SOLO Relaxing in a Tent and Tarp shelter, ASMR ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ETORWgahumI/mqdefault.jpg)
I often get asked to compile the camping videos into one large documentary of the year. I use to do this previously but then stopped doing it because I couldn't imagine anyone watching my stupid face for longer than ten minutes.
But here are some of the most memorable camps of 2022 in a long format 3hr documentary style video covering overland adventure camping over Summer Autumn and Winter. Conditions vary from the high 20s to the low 20s so for anyone looking to travel Scandinavia it might be interesting to see what its all about at what time of year. Or maybe your having trouble sleeping and you want to listen to a monotone British guy until you pass out.
I was hoping to get one last camp before I broke up for Christmas but sadly I couldn't, so here is a rehash for you of everything you've seen before (but obviously watch only if you want).
Thanks to everyone who supports the channel in any way you do, comments, insults etc.. and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas (if you celibate it) and a Happy new year! I will hopefully see you in 2023.
Take care all of you!
What is the thing you were cooking on called?
@@travisatwood576 Sorry for the late reply, I only just saw this. Its called a Murrikka - www.outnorth.se/muurikka/58-cm-with-legs-71965?gclid=CjwKCAiA0JKfBhBIEiwAPhZXD_uG0PXi2BRcM8eY0q_RWFZdVNMD6PdH1aBKkIdcJaBSjtpzeu7KKRoC2uAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#OneColour
I really love these long videos. Pardon me for saying, but I have these ideas on how people should sound like. When I go to bed or sleepy? I like the British accent as its really calming. It just feels nice and comfy. Thanks for making a great video like this. I'm stuck at home recovering from some injuries and the dentists office. Its nice just sitting back and watching this.
I really like the way you cook as well. Very well done. And Sweden is just a really cool place!
@@MickeyMishra Appreciate the comment and I'm glad you like the video. All of my videos are pretty long, although this one is particularly long. There will be a winter version of this format come spring.
Haha glad my stupid voice helps and hope you recover from your injuries!
Your channel is awsome keep up the good work and love your ride she's sweet .
This is BY FAR the best overlanding / camping video I have seen within the last years. Everything is and feels so authentic and I often find moments within your videos that remind me of my own situations while overlanding with a buddy. On top of that your humor is just brilliant and I really enjoy every minute of watching your content.I salute to you and want to give you my honest appreciation for taking us viewers with you onto your solo trips. Cheers from Germany!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the great feedback!
😂
Lol "just blowing up the mattress and nothing else" lol 🤣
Your explanation of the snake bite venom is incredible.
You have inspired me to make pancakes this morning, for my family! First time since school 😂 (I’m 55 now!), then I dragged the wife out for a long woodland walk this afternoon. I tipped my drink down the sink and walked out the door! 👍🏽👍🏽 can’t wait to finish my overland vehicle.
Haha nice, glad to be able to provide some pancake inspiration, although I'm sure yours look a lot better than mine lol. Goof on you though, I always have to just get out and make myself get out there. Hopefully my family will join me again when the winter is over.
Thanks for watching and good luck on the build!
I'd pay good money just to watch Mike cook.
That's the thumbnail that'll take this channel to the top!
A little foam insulation between you and your floor would def stop that freeze from coming up to get you. We always cant count on Big foot to come along to cuddle up and get you warm again! You will figure out what materials to add to your flooring. Enjoyed the video! Beautiful country, amazing evening skies! Thank you for taking us along!
Haha! Thanks for watching. I got some insulation sorted in the tent and it handled -20 so hopefully-25 wont be much different. I subsequently blocked bigfoots number since.
Lol...when you cut the butter at the beginning of this video and gave it a flick into the pan, overshooting hitting the ground, YOU HAD ME! LOL! That look on your face said a thousand things. I laughed, knowing your pain! You had me less than 5 minutes finding your channel. I stopped the video, hit the subscribe button, adjusted notifications and went back to watching. Outstanding video share. Thank you!
Haha thanks for the subscription and for watching. Happy new year also!
I have ordered some Yorkshire tea, all based off of your reaction to a quick sniff of it.
Don't sniff too deep first time round. It's good tea 🍵 enjoy and thanks for watching
Hahaha! I bet ol Jimmy would've kept you warm... Great video my friend. It took me 3 sittings to watch it all but well worth it 👌 👍
Thanks for sharing the 2022 compilation. As a big fan of European Vipers I enjoyed the scene when you'd met the common European adder most. Brilliant habitats in sweden.
Adders are great! Do you know of the island of ängholmen? It's a nature reserve in Göteborgs archipelago, I'm not sure if you're allowed to go there anymore, i grew up in the area and as a kid in the 80s we used to go there in the spring to take photos of the insane amounts of adders. 100s upon 100s of snakes, such a beautiful sight.
I'm sure there must be some nice documentation of the on svt-play or RUclips if you want to check it out;)
@@coconutfleetsleeper5717 don't know. i am located in Germany. We have very limited amount of adders here and you need to know the spots. We are usually going to Slovenia or Kroatia to see Vipers.
Thanks for sharing that must have been some editing Jimmy savile would be proud 👍🏴
Awesome man! Fixing to go fight the wind! Hope they are on!
Glad you posted the trailer for this channel on MCQBushcraft 👏
Just missing the ol' "Hey guys, this is Mike from MCQBushcraft. Welcome to another video on the channel." 😂
Thanks for watching again. Hope you enjoy what's on here. It's a bit of a mixed bag but there is a lot of it lol.
Take care and thanks again
Glad I found you again. Enjoyed the long video. Your son has grown so fast. We lost you on the other channel right after he was born, and now he's so big. Hope you are doing well. Look forward to more adventures. The tea sniffing had me laughing. I feel the same way about my coffee in the morning.
Life took quite a turn in those first few years. Moving country, new member to the family and my illness. It was all pretty intense but things are fairly stable now, which is nice. Thanks for stopping by and watching! A good tea sniff certainly helps these days in the morning haha!
i like how you put fire with that fire rod but also use your lighter for the gas! 😂 great mix of old ways and new
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR BRITISH DUDE!🇺🇸🇺🇸🥂
Love this guy! No not that way, great mechanic, good woodsman, wondering if he’s named his blowup companion, and humble! Definitely Sigma! Can’t imagine camping in that level of cold, wondering why he chose diesel? Guessing the wood up there is really dry, make more seems to have no trouble starting fires. Rock on Mike. I think I’ve seen all your videos make more please.
Thanks for the comment and for watching! The cold is pretty brutal at times, but when the humidity is low, it's so much better. I'm originally from England so my jeep was a diesel from the factory as that's the norm there. I imported it to Sweden where gas is more functional in the cold and more popular. The way people with diesel trucks get around it here is to install a diesel engine heater. I will do the same eventually I think! Thanks again for watching
I started watching your channel several years ago. The thing that hooked me was your winter videos - they are just stunning! It seems as if you lost a couple of the winter videos when that goon highjacked your other channel. I am so glad to see that you're back to filming your camping trips - you have the best! And I hope that you will be able to make a couple more of the winter camping trips but not so cold like your last one. That just seemed miserable for you. Take care & Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Have you seen Mikes MCQ bushcraft channel? Best videos for bushcraft and outdoors.
Vincent swan goes camping, this is awesome
your videography never ceases to impress me mike
Nice Mike, I haven’t seen one of your videos in sometime, enjoying this one Thanks Mate, chee4s from Oklahoma
Just rediscovered your channel.. I followed you when you were in GB and first working on your Jeep and getting ready to set off for Sweden. Thank you for continuing my journey with you..
Ah nice thanks for tuning in again and appreciate the comment. The journey hasn't stopped yet although the winters are a bit colder here.
Hey mate great to see you looking happy and healthy. Was looking through your archive vids and remembered you're other channel. I'm buzzing now .thanks mate ,respect from north Yorkshire 👍🌿🏕🌳🍄🐟
i hope to live the lifestyle you have, got a lot of ideas for my jeep from yours. keep up the awesome videos!
Happy Christmas Mike, Meg and Max - have a great one. All the best from France
If you watch other Nordic type campers, their rigs have one thing in common. The battery is located in the heated area. Most of which is a closet or crawl space in the rv. They fork off the output to heat the crawl space [where the battery is] and the second output goes to the the rv living quarters. Build an insulated box and run a small hose paraciting off the big output hose and feed it to the box. You only need it to heat to 5 degrees centigrade for the battery to hold a charge and deliver it's maximum abilities. You might need the 5k BTU model to pull this off and put up with the noise as to never let the battery box to get cold. ANOTHER OPTION: Oh ya, look up "Self Heating Li battery" They keep themselves above 5 degrees C. You might get out of this cheaper separating the heater battery from the one your using now. No extra pluming needed, it's heater is built in to the battery, it does drain on the battery but only when under 5 degrees C, this eliminates alot of tasks.
Yeah that's exactly what I need to do. A proper battery setup under the seats or something with all the connectors at the back. Mind you my new system still operates down to -25c which is absolutely crazy.
Just finished watching the video...was like watching a Christmas boxset.... awesome..it made my day...👍
And never forget....if you break anything when you are camping.....Jim'll fix it...ooops...😉
Have a good Christmas buddy.. take care..❤️👍
White gas pressure stoves are more tasky but worth it. They are the only stove that works above 20,000 feet for mountain climbers. For cold weather they are the best. Cheap to support as well but bring a white gas tool kit cause sometimes the orfaces get clogged up.
Great review.
Epic! Thanks Mike. I'll save this Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 👍🎄
Thanks Mike, I haven't started watching it yet. I need to prepare my Jimmy Saville.. Big foot.. count list first! I am hoping for at least 10 references each. Have a good Christmas with the family
No better way to start my Christmas holidays with Mike...... enjoyed every second of this mate. Can't wait to see you out next year. 👍👍👍
Well done! ... Glad to watch your video. I have a 2000 jeep XJ as a daily driver, that is the extent of my adventures, Thanks for sharing yours!
The Jeep Cherokee…
The Aurora borealis
The Ursa Mayor
The pointer stars
Nice!
I put a 12 volt heating pad at my feet, on top of the exped, plugged into a 300w Jackery. It keeps my feet warm and warm air circulating inside the mat all night. I haven’t been out in temps as low as you! And I sleep inside my RAV4, not a rooftop tent. But since I sleep cold this trick helps a lot.
Give it a try.
This was awesome!!! I really enjoyed every bit of this…including the butter running away from the pan…Lol…Thank you for sharing!!!👠🚌👠
Tack. Och välkomna åter. Mvh Lasse och Anna Näsåkers camping och stugby 😊
Tack, kul att träffa dig! Förhoppningsvis ses vi igen.
3:16:55 made the video for me. Great content, looking forward to more.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing setup McQ !!!!
Making me jealous
Awe the best fae Scotland !
Sold my house in Glasgow Sep 2020 ...
Hit the road by tent ....-3 ...then travelled Scotland in jeep 4x4 and Erica caravan ! For 2 years
Want to thank you mate for your wisdom and bushcraft teaching over the years
I have learned so much from your channels !
First class man !
Hope you stay Strong and fit mentally and physically through all this madness
Thanks again
Tam
Ah mate that sounds fantastic, are you still traveling now? Appreciate the message and thanks for watching. Glad the old videos could help out from time to time.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness to Hi McQ
Travelled Scotland...
I'm now renting , got a few projects on the go , at the minute I'm refurbishing a 1998 towavan trailer, your diesel heater build will come in handy 👍
Usual mods , insulation, solar + I have a motorcycle and e mbike , so fold up bed and minimalist approach , trailer Alko chassis is solid but the axles are shot ,
Staying here till I'm finished!
I grew up in a housing scheme in Glasgow ...
At 58 I realized that I was drowning spiritually and mentally in drug abuse and boredom !
Leaving the city has saved my life and I polish my survival skills ( bushcraft )
Daily !
Your RUclips channel gave me so much insight and inspiration to finally make the leap of faith to sell up, pay my dept's and break free !!!!
I have not regretted one minute of it !
when you duck, dive, Bob and weave to survive in a big city like Glasgow ,
It really shows what your made of when your alone in the middle of the Highlands and having to draw on primative bushcraft skills to survive ,
The sense of achievement and sheer tiredness in the fresh air is life-changing !!!
As I say Friend you launched me into a new world of living and survival that makes me appreciate what a true and real man should and can be !
(PS)
On my travels a Cat called ( SCARRAMOOSH) Decided to move into my caravan 🤣👍 now I have a loyal traveling companion !
I wish you and your Family All the Best and please don't Stop sharing your Skills on RUclips!👍
This is the first time I’ve seen your show and I think you have done a wonderful job
Thanks for watching!
Great task you were able to conquer in filming this. I really enjoyed it!! Two thumbs up!
You asked for some advice in regards to staying warm in those arctic conditions.
Here’s mine: It seems extremely counterintuitive, but I have found that you will actually sleep much “warmer” if you sleep naked. Sleep on top of the clothes inside the sleeping bag; your clothes will stay warm and your body will be able to heat up the reduced airspace much more efficiently. Sleeping bags (and duvets) work on the concept of reflecting your body heat back onto you. The wearing of clothes prevent the sleeping bag from doing this. I have verified this through my own experimentation of sleeping many a cold nights (including while attending Arctic Survival School) while in the military. I have always slept warmer than my “clothed” cohorts, even with the uniform sleep systems. As soon as I take off all my clothes , including underwear., I have always slept comfortably. In addition to that, sweat accumulated in the clothes tend to increase cooling of the body. Also, even the smallest amount of dirt in clothes’ fibers result in the deterioration of the insulative properties of clothing. Also, try and expel your urine throughout the night. Urine stored in our bladders absorb cold temperatures which result in a cooler core.
Hopefully you will be able to test these methods… Take care and God Bless!
Thanks for watching and for the priceless tips on arctic comfort in bed. Good to know from someone with first hand experience so I appreciate that and will put these things into effect.
Since filming this I have been out consistently through the winter and am currently putting together a winter camping documentary similar to this one.
Interestingly before you wrote this I started sleeping in just my underwear and I stopped drinking close to bed time. Mostly from observations on sweat and comfort like you mentioned. I added about 2" of air insulation under the tent mat along with a Mylar layer and the cold temps have not been an issue which is a big improvement.
Thanks again for the information and for watching!
the pivot system on your spare tire carrier is interesting.
So glad you did that video on your old channel. Had no idea you were still on YT!
Thanks Kevin, appreciate you coming over and the comment! Hope you enjoy the videos
Discovered you accidentally when researching Wildlands RTT today. So many things I should be doing today but watching your adventures instead. Mesmerising! Thank you from DownUnder 😀👍
Thanks for watching and checking out the channel
Great mike good stuff merry Christmas buddy
That type of scenario really took me by surprise atop Mt. Saint Helens in Washington State Mike. The answer for me turned out OK upon returning a few days later with a much higher R valued air mattress. Thanks for this outstanding Video!! Greatly enjoyed and appreciated with important info for all as well. Blessings Pal, .. Mike.
I can imagine that was dangerous scenario given the location. For me more insulation and some Mylar sealed the deal and its been a good winter since. Summer is on the horizon and the mosquitoes have woken hungry and enormous... Thanks for watching!
One key solution to power is an additional alternator and boosting both up 420W. It's pricey, but you'll never have a power issue again. Ever.
I just found your channel. I love it. Your Jeep is really well sorted out. Great use of space. Thanks for taking us on an adventure.
Oh I forgot to ask…..what is the name of that sleeping shelter that stores in the roof? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! It's a ARB awning room that's in the bag at the top. I carry it in the jeep nowadays in a dry bag.
Thank you and I wish you safe travels from the USA.
1:52:18 that hilarious reaction to Yorkshire Gold tea got me curious now. The tea, that is.
Its some decent tea 🍵 👌 PG Tips is also nice, bit smoother
Hey Mike, thanks for your interesting, informative, and entertaining videos. Happy Christmas 2022 to you and your family and to all your viewers..
Love the show brother 😊
Hehe, I got bitten by an adder as a kid, it really is not great, but I'll take that ten times over savilles basement xD
Beautiful view and very nice jeep.
I'm going to watch this in segments, I already subscribed.
I take back the "very nice jeep" and add in "badass jeep"
Thanks for watching and also the comments on the Jeep!
Shit had me cracking up😂😂 got to love that dry humor
Really enjoying your videos 👍 Very educational, thank you and keep up the good work. MMonk 💯
Excelente tòdo...en información, en imagen y sonido exterior...se agradese toda esa experiencia en solitario...lecciones de vida
Thanks for watching
Awesome haul Richy. Love watching you and the boy get after it. Have a good week Richy! 🍻
Names Mike, thanks for watching
@@WorkshoptoWilderness 😂😂😂 sorry Mike I was watching two vids and commented the wrong comment on yours. Yours was awesome too. I’ve had a ton of XJs over the years in the states but no diesel ones
Haha no worries at all. I've done that a fair few times. Ah nice, over the pond you guys have so many nice XJs and part companies. Awesome, thanks for watching
Thanks for the vid! Started watching the channel about 6 months ago, still catching up. Merry Christmas!! You should try beer batter pancakes. Just substitute beer for whatever you usually use. My favorite is regular Coors or a Malty Belgium here in the States. You'll thank me later...
@Workshop Wilderness Adventures Hello from the USA! I just found your channel and I'm working my way through this fantastic video! I'm a fan of the long format and this type of adventure. I'm looking forward to the rest of your content and what's to come!
Thanks for tuning in and glad you like the videos. I mostly film in long format at around an hour or more when camping. Hope you enjoy the videos!
The Tea Addiction is Hilarious.
Bookmarking this to watch. Going to snuggle up in my blanky
Mike, you said your 45 and getting soft, im now 70 this year, I know what you mean. But with the right kit and attitude we can still get out there, this year wild in BC then West coast of Ireland trip all with the wife who has 3 auto immune illnesses. All in.the planning and prep.
Yorkshire tea was my preference until I discovered Barry’s Tea (an Irish tea) and also Thompson’s. I wouldn’t turn down a Yorkshire tea, but try Barry’s breakfast tea and you’ll know what I mean. 👌
I haven't heard of that! I will try and get some. Thank you
Dji Mavric mini is perfect for scouting around. 😊
Once again You Tube taking way too long to recommend content that I would actually love to watch
Thanks for watching!
At 2:34:00 I think your 6th sense picked up on an angry moose or something, always listen to your inner voice. It never lies.
Hey Grayman I love your beard looks great 😊 I’m enjoying myself eating and watching you enjoy your scrumptious healthy fresh chicken avocado 🥑 baby spinach sriracha sauce sandwich 🥪 oh’s yummy and you are looking good eating it too ❤❤I’m impressed and happy you’re listening to your dentist 🦷 you’re Rig looks comfortable ❤you’re smoothie looks great 👍 I am definitely enjoying myself tonight watching you enjoy your dinner and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow too unboxing your Amazon and I enjoy our engagement aswell as you have become my friend and my favorite show 🎉heck I remember them days yikes 😳 I’m laughing 😂
Thanks for watching and for the great comment! My culinary skills are pretty basic but I try my best haha. The price of food makes fuel look cheap these days haha.
Thanks again!
the drum is amazing it reminds me of an Arabic duff...would poverty to see you make one
Hi , you should try a multi layer super quilt , under your bed 👍🏻
Mike's new year's resolutions:
To grow a beard
Start a cooking channel (in Swedish)
Interview bigfoot
Amazing vid Mike, loved it. I remember hearing on a podcast how there can be ultrasonic sounds emitted by natural causes, that are obviously inaudible, but can be otherwise detected by the human body. And this could possibly account for the “bad vibes” we often feel in certain locations. It’d be interesting to take a ultrasonic detector to the cliff location you decided to leave, you may’ve been picking up on something.
In the early summer when the bears are not so hungry, I will camp there and make a video. That's super interesting about the ultrasonic sounds. Maybe there is a secret military base in the mountain haha. You never know I guess.
Thanks for watching.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness haha! Or an underground river… 🤷🏻♂️
That was an amazing quote. It should be more known, I live in Alaska I know all about serenity and getting away from everything, even better if u got a cabin on a lake 😎 lol but I loved it. And yes you get 200 miles away from civilization and your whole body feels different, more humble, quiet, it might sound dumb to some but on average we have 100s if not 1000s of radio waves and wireless internet and a big one 5g, if you go far enough in a state like this that has unlimited wilderness, after you get off that bumpy loud four wheeler and turn off that key, it's like magic happening. So calm, so quiet, if u focus on how your body feels u will feel an extreme relief INSTANTLY. Ugh I come back to town and just don't feel good again. Wish I could live substanancial but I have genetic body issues that keep me fatuiged at all times, people say go exercise I do that on a good day for about an hour then stumble out half passing out all the way home then I am laid up for the most part for 2-3 days. My muscles don't hold nutrients the way they are suppose too. But way off track go out there, and experience it atleast once in your life. U will not regret it, I can still do awesome trips just can't pack in anymore and could do a week but not live out there like I would love too. Great travels everyone and remember that quote! It is so true. " you leave the forest you lose your true body, (in harmony/tune with nature), but if you stay in the city you lose your soul," just an amazing quote. I understand because out away from anything and everything all you have is your soul and yourself to reflect on that soul, are you missing something, does something need mending? Look around, look at how much is alive around you, growing, breathing out oxygen, water storing power and heat from the sun; b-e-a-utiful.
Yours truly, ~ZJAK
I just discovered your newer channel !!, love the content and you seem to be more natural...generally happier !. I wish you all the best and look forward to new vids (:
Thanks for checking it out and for watching.
Thanks for this great new documentary! Like your cooking gear. One question, what down jacket are you wearing? Looks comfy but not that bulky like most of the down jackets.
Thanks for watching. It's not a well known brand jacket as it was bought cheap from a second hand shop. I just use it as an intermediate layer these days.
Perhaps the air flow underneath the roof tent is causing extreme loss of heat. Constant breeze sapping the warmth from every layer of insulation you put inside the tent.
When sleeping on the ground the radiation will be slower. You’ll even warm the ground up slightly.
You’re suspended like a fluffy loaf in a Dutch oven. A slight breeze can mess up your bakery 🍞
You are absolutely right. I've camped over the whole winter with this tent now and the mod I made after that video was another inflatable double mat under the main one with a layer or mylar. It worked really well as low as -25c. I don't tent to go out in lower.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness Nice! Glad you found a solution, I was preaching to the choir there 😂
I wonder if packing snow underneath the rack round the edges would be any good
@@dancreed Ah no worries, any advice is always welcome. At temps that low the snow doesn't hold together, it's like salt. When it's -5c it's better but you still can't make snowballs.
Yes, Dog mans ears probably perked up to the sound of that whistling diaphragm on your stove! Ha Ha Always listen to your gut feelings! Wise words.
Gday mate, love your videos. Totally different from here in Western Australia. Love your set up and all your camping gear. Can I ask where you got your spare wheel storage rack from please? Cheers mate. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching, I can imagine its very different to Western Australia. No where near as remote here and the distances are much shorter. Do you mean the metal tire carrier rack or the backpack bag?
Thanks for watching!
Well now, Hi YA Mike, it's been far to long since my last comments. You're keeping me up far to late tonight, as I can't bare pausing for a moment. How Grand of you Pal to have put this together in a longer Documentary format. I especially get more from such production. Man time slips by fast, you've lost some of your English proper, HA! Your demeanor now is more that of a fellow American, parish the thought! Please don't ever take down MCQ, it's a gold mine that year after year gets my visits in solidification of a hugely important outdoor woodsman educations. This Ch is clearly going to be a blast, Thank You, Old Friend. As Always Mike, Blessings your way from Oregon. ... Google's: "Oregon Mike H" ps: The leather works and accessories I bought from you are still going strong and are as fit and new performing as the day I bought them so many years ago. You're greatly appreciated Mike.
Hey Mike! Its been a very long time mate, I hope your well and life is all good across the pond? How are you these days?
Also thanks for tuning into the new channel and for leaving a comment! I have certainly let my hair down on this channel, well just to be honest I am just more myself as the channel isnt for children. I will never take MCQ down, its ten years of work and its serving its purpose. I am really happy to hear that all the leatherwork is going strong, that's music to my ears mate. Thanks again for stopping by and saying hello and I hope to see you again!
@@WorkshoptoWilderness Thank You so much Mike, I'll be a regular here for sure, and it will be my pleasure to share. Loving every aspect of this new Ch. on every single level. It's going to be a favorite and a joy to promote. Life has been good across the Pond. I love my new Purple ACD Puppy, Kody-O. I lost my Blue ACD to indiscriminate poisoning. Kody was murdered and died in my arms. I was a broken man for some time.
@@OregonMikeH ah mate that's absolutely horrible. I'm so sorry....
Thats a brutal thing, poor pup.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness THERE IS SUCH GOOD AND SUCH EVIL IN THE WORLD MIKE. THE LOSS OF KODY WAS SO STAGGERING DUE TO HIS UNBRIDLED EXTREME LEVEL OF HUMANISTIC PERSONA.

Love your channel n what a great rig you have. I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee but has a gas 4.0 motor in it. We can’t get them in diesel here in the states.
Thanks for watching! The 4L is a great engine. I would like to buy another with a 4L in it.

I have a pristine Kay's catalogue Lingerie section (no stuck pages) and a full collection of RAZZLE Mags plus as a Brucie bonus, I have a revolutionary unpatented 4x4 suspension system. WHYG? 😉
When civilisation collapses, you will be running the world with that kind of trading power.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness Now that was a reply worth reading and saving. ❤😎
I see you now have a roof top tent ,
It's about a year old but definitely still feels like a new addition. I really love it.
Cardboard packaging from a large Fridge/Freezer on top of the wood is a cheap option and a great R Value?
Thats a good idea 💡
I like the old Cherokee build .
I'm building an older truck .
Nice, what truck are you building?
@@WorkshoptoWilderness 1995 ram 4x4 ,single cab, short bed .with a campershell.
@@denisestarr2314 sounds very nice. You don't see to many Rams here. They are nice size trucks for camping and carrying the family as well as everything you will need. Unlike my xj

I jus came across your channel it's so awesome and real ! I started it this morning and you taught me so many new better ideas thank you! But I'm curious did you make the pan you have or what is it like a wok cast iron pan?
Hey thanks for watching and for the comment. The pan is called a Murrikka, i have welded some things to it so I can use a stove but also use the pan in a fire but I haven't changed it much. Its cast iron si I had to heat the pan before welding.
Hi Mike. Like that roof tent..what is the fabrication name please.😉
Its a Wildland Desert Crusier 140. Its a really nice tent ⛺️
hej Mike, jag bruka köra under sommarsemestern till helags fjäll områden och fiska där några väcka...kanske man kan sig träffa och kör lite off där om du intresserad?
hej, ja absolut, det skulle vara bra att träffas. Jag är i Åsele så om jag kör sydväst till fjällen nästa sommar kan jag meddela det. min e-post är info@mcqbushcraft.co.uk om det hjälper oss att hålla kontakten.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness låter toppen 👍🏻
jag skriver då via mail för mer detaljer å hålla kontakt.
mvh Daniel
Why would anyone criticise your cooking? Do you remember your purple bilberry flat bread from your Sweden Ep 02 video? :) :)
Haha, I'm not sure why. I'm not the best, but yeah that flat bread was nice. I should make that again 🤔
Hi Mike new sub here, been binge watching your vids. Great channel. I wild camp in Uk and have diesel heater connected to my leisure battery, but would like to connect to my eco flow river pro like you have when no battery. Do you have a link to a decent cig plug please and what size inline fuse would u use please. Cheers Sue
Hey Sue, thanks for subscribing. simplysplitcharge.co.uk/universal-cigarette-lighter-plug.html - this is exactly the plug I'm using although I have a 10 amp fuse. It's not the best connector to use because they can come out I'd knocked or pulled but if the vehicle is stationary then it's fine I guess.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness thanks Mike. All the best for 2023 with your channel it’s fab
Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy new year. Appreciate you watching 👀 🙏
Mate! Awesome Vid! What is that Cast Iron Grill/BBQ you've got there? Where'd you get it?
ruclips.net/video/jzaKc_s1FvM/видео.html - here is a more detailed vide on the stove setup. Its basically a cast iron plate called a Murrikaa that i've welded some brackets too so I can clip a stove on. It works really well especially with the lid
Thanks for watching.
Legend!!!! Thanks mate. Ripper idea with the legs!
Just subsribed! 2/3rds of the way through this video. Where did you pick up your skottle?
Thanks for watching and subscribing! Its a bit of a DIY build. Its called a Murrikka in Sweden and I have welded some eyes on it to hang an MSR Stove.

@@WorkshoptoWilderness thanks for taking the time to reply!
Haven't watched in a while, hope all is ok with you.
All is good, thanks for asking!
❤👍👍👍
enjoying all of your video's,, but this 3 hours long documentary made me order 160 Yorkshire gold teabags...... and i never drink tea
What suspension do you have on your jeep?
It's about 6.5" total. A bit of a frankin lift. Lots of DIY parts and such but overall I've got some 4.5" coils with DIY 2" spacers, 6.5" trailmaster rear shocks installed in the front with some DIY upper brackets and lower bar pin eliminators.
The front control arms are from ruffstuff with drop brackets. The rear is a 5.5" rubicon express leaf pack with some DIY boomerang shackles. The shocks are stock xj shocks because I made some high clearance shock brackets on the axle so the shocks don't need to be so long. It's a mishmash but it works well. I live in Europe and I don't earn much so I basically make loads or shit on the jeep so I can afford the camp gear I can't make.
I challenge you to get a Fiat Uno Turbo Mk1 on your channel! 🤣
Wish you have drone camera like chad living in the life van
