Sleeping on pine branches with an extra blanket in the sleeping bag is also an easy fix for a warm night. I woke up a few snow mornings while fly fishing out on my own. It's just really nice.
As someone who has done his share of winter camping in New England. This was an excellent video. However, I would add the importance of insulating your sleeping area with leaves, pine boughs, etc. Just sleeping on wool blankets will not protect you from the cold, frozen ground.
I really enjoy these videos! Growing up my parents would send me on ascent programs for several months at a time. We learned how to survive only with what the wilderness gave us and a few other little things like a knife a canteen etc. I even learned how to make a bowl and spoon using the knot on a tree and a thick branch. How to start a bow drill fire, use a flint, and make char cloth. I learned how to build smaller shelters but it’s been a long time and although I remember everything I learned over 15 years of doing that stuff I’m always wanting to learn more and be prepared for any situation. You put out a lot of valuable information, tips, tricks etc. Thanks again!
- At the end of the year, winter, heavy snow season, I love to go camping under the snow is falling. Sitting in the tent, eating, drinking hot tea, watching the white snow everywhere, my heart feels very excited and relaxed. Dec, 17 - 2020.
I grew up in the bush in canada and did this with my grand parents when i was 5 lol. We moved to the city when i was in grade 4 and so thankful for my young years thanks gigi and grandma very valable lessons 😘
Good job. One thing I would have done different is to surround the fire with rocks, that absorb the heat and radiate throughout the night as the fire burns down.
Yup for the rocks, And that delimits your fire from your floor, so you can make a bedding of spruce bows to create that airspace between your butt and the cold ground without burning the place down! If rocks aren't available dig a shallow fire-pit using your axe.(its a tewel not a jewel! ) and build up the sides...!:) You might want to watch this very instructive documentary from the National Film Board of Canada ( NFB) follow the link below of A Cree Native not surviving but flourishing with nothing but an axe in the boreal forest www.nfb.ca/film/survival_in_the_bush/ Happy Trails, only take what you need and nature will always provide.
Is it true you have to season your wood for at least six months before burning? The twigs that were being shaved looked like they were pulled fresh off the tree. How can they burn and catch fire if they are not fully dried out? Or is it not true that they have to dry out first?
Keeping it simple. Thank you for this video. I am from Boston, Mass., I can relate to the winters for sure and building a shelter is ideal for those who wish to travel and rough it out for a day or so. It does wonders just to see simplicity at its best..it may save your life one day or make it the best day ever; its on us all how we have a great day. Peace :)
Thanks for the info.Neat stuff. My dad did these types of builds with the Boy Scouts Of America. They also built bridges with saplings or young trees. He built us three kids an igloo using a box to form the bricks of snow. He sprayed it down with water to form an ice covering. It was very warm inside with just a candle lantern.
Lots of smart-assesseesses in this space. You two get credit for the most sensible shelter I have ever seen, and the wikiup is now my shelter of choice. Thank you for clearing up a world of questionable options.
HAHAHA.....EPIC Production bro!! Love it. Amazing how a 7 1/2 minute vid can feel like 45 minutes with all the right editing and quality footage. Well done Sir!
Приятно смотреть , как настоящие мужчины умеют проводить своё время и организовывать жизнь. Хорошо приобщиться к вашей жизни. Костёр, природа одно наслаждение. Спасибо.
If you have a tarp "door" for the wickiup and want a fire inside it you Must dig a 6" wide 4" deep trench from the fire pit to the outside and cover it with stones or sticks covered with bark inside and out to admit cold air into the fire FROM OUTSIDE. The keeps you from using the warm inside air for combustion. Be sure to shelter the outside intake area with a peaked "roof" of branches and bark or evergreen boughs over the branches to protect it from being blocked by snow. In a heavy snowfall you will need to keep it clear with a small, collapsable aluminum avy shovel (which you always take in winter, right?).
Really appreciate the very detailed narration... Another thought; horse blankets are nice and thick, easy to roll up and carry, and make comfortable sleeping bags
- I really like to go camping in the heavy snow or heavy rain and rain for many days, seeing it raining, or seeing snow falling is so interesting. Nov, 25 - 2020.
Trust me snow is awful sometime it nice for 1 day but after everyday for mamy months and you have to go in a full snow suit to go outside you just cant wait for summer
This is good for an emergency shelter, but I wouldn't recommend you camp like this on the regular. Sleeping next to a wood fire like that will turn your lungs black. I understand that most of the smoke escapes through the top, but there's still a decent amount of it inside the shelter. I'd suggest you keep the fire outside the shelter and use it to heat large rocks, then bring those hot rocks inside the shelter. Other than that, I have no problems with your video or the content. Both are nicely done.
I am bushcrafting vicariously here... Great video. Awesome to see Malcom getting out with you. His packs/bags/pouches are amazing! That shelter was also amazing. Solid tutorial.
its just two dudes...together...inside a tightly confined space....all alone in the woods....cozy in their treepee...cuddling by the fire.....just enjoying each others company...its truly beautiful 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🤼♂️🤼♂️🤼♂️🤼♂️🤼♂️🤼♂️🤼♂️
Very cool project. Maybe in the morning dig down 1 or even 2 feet for more space and room for the fire. Ring the fire with thermal mass rocks. Also weaver a nice door and an overhang. Great winter wikiup fort:)
I never felt snow 👀 Respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰 Great winter ❄️ 🥶 EXPLORATION 😍🥰our country is warm mostly but some mountain areas got snow but very far from my city 🌃
I really love the style of this video and I love how you can make something so bland of a topic like build a common shelter and make it very interesting.
I can't know what others are thinking, but while I love the production values, the filming, the narration, and the educational value, I have no idea whether those 30 saplings that were cut down and the 100+ branches were from public or private lands. I'm fine with bushcraft on private lands and I watch videos like this to be proficient should the need arise in an emergency. But bringing 6 pounds of tools and spending hours to create a worse shelter than a 4-pound megamid tent/tarp? If you want to do that on your land, great, but to do that for an overnight versus a more LNT approach will, over time, diminish the wilderness experience of others. I am NOT critiquing these filmmakers because I don't know their situation, but I'm giving a few reasons why some people might have had a negative reaction.
Love New England. Maine New Hampshire Vermont Connecticut Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I have traveled all 6 states. I camped in Vermont and hiked in New Hampshire. Thanks for the video.
I typically watch more of the ASMR bushcraft videos, however, your voice is so soothing! (I wish my husband and/or son were less tech geek and more nature loving!)
Best to let the fire burn for 6-7 hours before putting your bedding down. It's best to remove as much moisture as possible then add the following day dry out your bedding completely and dry out a covering of leaves.

Native Survival, this is a great video. I love your choice of music, specially that song at 4:25, simply beautiful, specially when the 3 wild turkeys appeared (4:34). It was magic. Now, can you tell me how to start a fire like you've done at 4:58. Thank you sir. :)

These folks would die without support and supplies on a permanent basis. This is just a few days or a week or 2.

Wikiups are fantastic, as a kid we made a ton of these in the yard, They are easy to build and work very well to deflect wind and wether.
Same here... it was the standard issue "fort" where i grew up in Maine. We'd sleep in em in the summer sometimes.
This.... Somehow feels.. And sounds... like a 80s/90s D&D movie, love it!
WE ALL will be needing this information.

Happy Trails, only take what you need and nature will always provide.
Never use rocks from around water though. The water absorbed in them can make them explode. I've seen this happen.
Is it true you have to season your wood for at least six months before burning? The twigs that were being shaved looked like they were pulled fresh off the tree. How can they burn and catch fire if they are not fully dried out? Or is it not true that they have to dry out first?

The Boy Scouts were fabulous until they had to accept girls. Now they are just mediocre at best and idiotic at worst.
Finally, someone gives us a clue about how much property is involved in providing enough materials to shelter up with.
