Camped like that many many times in my life mate loved every minute of it, even the Cadet corp on bivouacs in the mountains North East of where I lived in Country I actually knew pretty well we only had a pup tent for 2 guys and a poncho for a ground sheet and a couple of old army blankets,.A lot of the kids sooked a bit because they were Mummies boys but not me and some of my mates coz this was how we rolled, a pup tent and a poncho were bloody luxuries.
Hey man, I designed that stove stand, it will work better without all that grass. My suggestion is to yank the grass away before setting it down. It will help with airflow, and use a more dense wood, something that burns hotter. -Rob Formally of "The CanteenShop" Great videos by the way!
Really? that's great to hear!! Point noted and that makes much more sense with removing the grass and maybe digging a little shallow pit underneath it. I have just purchased a vintage alcohol fuel stove. It is quite small and circular shape and I think it would fit perfectly underneath the stove stand and would make a great pairing.
What I do sometimes is go to a river and rearrange the rocks to make a nice sleeping platform, first big rocks, then medium, all level, then throw in lots of small pebbles. Goes pretty fast when there's lots of rocks. I've even set one up under a bank with water flowing beneath. Easy to anchor an upright stick in the rocks for attaching tarp. Doing that, have to be aware of flash floods. Even if it's not raining where you're at, it can be raining miles away in the mountains and a flash flood can be like a tidal wave. So my method is definitely questionable. Still, a lot of rocks makes a great sleeping platform. Then I'll often put down vegetation. I've also used clay, meticulously removing all pebbles and making a perfectly flat tablet with excellent drainage. That all takes time though. Pretty fast with rocks, doesn't take long at all. A rocky area can be a good defensive area too, if there's wild pigs roaming around. Be a little higher in the rocks than them, and if they do get any ideas (and they can and do sometimes) can throw rocks at them. They'll get mad, but go away.
The rain really seems to love you mate. 🤣 Nice little camping spot and if there was anything to fall from above, that double trunked fallen tree may have protected you anyway. I've got that same Pathfinder kit but I've never used the little twig stove that came with it. I have however, just bought the new Titanium twig stove from Alton Goods. Great looking little stove. I can't wait to try it out. My collection of Alton products just keeps growing. 🤣
Yeah I love the alton products. I have a twig stove but it's not the alton one. Yeah this spot is a great little spot just down the back from my house, so it's good to get out for more little bushcraft type projects.
With a name like Bearded Bushranger I naturally had to take a look ;) Love the tarp shelter setup. It's my favorite way to go. Your other videos look theyre right up my alley. I'll be checking them out. Thanks. Subbed. Good luck amigo.
Thanks mate I appreciate it. Last 2 years I've been working away at another channel ( @lukeslittle tribe ) which is all about getting my kids out bush. But I got a real passion for Aussie history and how the old fellas camped so thought I'd start up this channel just dedicated to that.
G’day mate. Just subscribed. Love your outings. Being a bush craft channel, it might be a good idea to brush up on basic knot tying & then even do a how to when you’ve mastered them. The Clove Hitch & Square Lashing are I believe two of the most used in bush craft. You’re getting some great view numbers on this video already. Well done 👍🍻
Thanks heaps mate for watching. I'll be totally honest with you .. of all the bushcraft areas, knot tying is one of my weaker points .. so it's not a bad suggestion!!! Going to get onto that a.s.a.p. thanks for watching
good stuff mate, great video and great concept for a channel. Good luck with your channel, I know how much work you have to put in to get these uploaded. Subscribed, look forward to watching it build ✌🏻
Thanks mate. I'm pretty sure I've been subscribed to you on my other channel 'Lukes little tribe'. Your NSW based yeah? I see some of the budawangs in your vids.
Nice video! Going out next weekend with a tarp myself as well. Hope to get the kids exited about these sort of adventures when they get bigger 😊 what size tarp are you using?
Thats great mate. I love a good tarp camp. I actually have another channel (my main channel) called Luke's little tribe which is all about taking my kids out in the bush. This is the 3m x 3m Alton tarp.
Well bugger me I'm about out of content to watch after this lol, Have an amazing rest of your week, yah know it's good content when you accidentally not accidentally binge watch everything available lol. You've so much amazing wildlife there, or I have around me is possums, water rats and some beautiful birds..and a lot of bugs lol.
@TheBeardedBushranger +🌞 your welcome thanks for the new one coming on Sunday I'll be readily awaiting and house sitting a actual house them so double Winning lol.
recently bought the same cook set.. in its bag it is a bit big to fit in my pack so I sling it over my shoulder...... BUT.. ive added to it and it is a minnie survival kit on its own.. gas bottle and stove.. small knife.. spork.. ferro rod.. bic.. tinder.. disposable emergency blanket.. cordage / ridgeline.. cuppa soups x 4 bandanna and a sponge / scour pad..
Gday Luke, new channel name mate! I recognised the thumbnail but didnt notice the name till i saw the comments, tis a great idea good luck with it, subbed👍👍🇦🇺🪓🏕
Cheers mate! Funny you came accross the channel naturally? I'm announcing it officially on Lukes little tribe on Monday and will post a video explaining the reasons for a second channel.
@@TheBeardedBushranger yeah mate it just came up in my recommendations. I had a look on your other channel too, noticed some vids aren't there I'm guessing your moving them over. Hopefully you don't lose the views and comments on them, but even so it's clever to have these style vids all together. Looking forward to some new ones too, love these old school vids. The desert ones were great
Exactly that Kurt. I am moving over the swagman videos from Lukes little tribe to this one. I have been quite surprised how well it has gone already with just old videos. 0 to 360 subs within 3 weeks. From next Sunday I will be posting new original swagman videos on this channel

That's awesome mate. Best way to grow up!
Very peaceful, thanks 😊
Love the way you made the frame on that tent fly mate 🇦🇺 🇳🇿
You might find a set of secateurs handy, small take up little room, and can cut through all sorts things.
My grandmother who was born around 1900 said the hotter the fire the smaller the sticks.
Great saying
When I was a young bloke, we used to use hexamine stoves - they were commonly used by the Australian Army too.
Cheers mate, I'll looke it up.
That was Great .....Thanks
Looks like a fun little overnighter! 👍
Good to have this patch of bush down the back property
Nice video, keep it up I’m hope to see more.
Thanks mate, I'll be posting a video a week at this stage.

Sounds good mate, I did a trip along the coast and managed to make a bed platform using driftwood and rocks.

@TheBeardedBushranger I like the idea of the history and how it was done 'back in the day'. Hope it works out. Kudos on getting the kids interested.
A very nice hike.
Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for watching mate.
see this song --> scandinavianz - hiking :)
Good work Luke. 👍🏻

You can also use an alcohol stove with your cook system from the same manufacturer. Cheers from Hawaii ~ 😎🤙🏽

what is the name of the little netted swag/tent you sleep in? 3:27
I don't remember the exact name but I got it on ebay. Just look up ultralight mozzy net tent and you'll see it.
@@TheBeardedBushranger Awesome!, thanks!
recently bought the same cook set..
in its bag it is a bit big to fit in my pack so I sling it over my shoulder...... BUT.. ive added to it and it is a minnie survival kit on its own..
gas bottle and stove..
small knife.. spork..
ferro rod.. bic.. tinder..
disposable emergency blanket..
cordage / ridgeline..
cuppa soups x 4
bandanna and a sponge / scour pad..
Sounds great mate, great bit of a kit.
If that's Australia, how come I see no kangaroos?
I ate them all 😂
I never waste my breath blowing on a fire when casually fanning it with my hat requires a lot less effort.
Yeah mate I hear ya, but the twig stove was so low to the ground, I found blowing down into it worked better
Get off the ground bro
Auscam, Gumboots and an oilskin coat.
As confused as every modern Australian political party :D.
Mint content mate.
😂 My wife always said I didn't really have a good fashion sense!
Hopeless. A 12 year old could do this.
As a former youth worker all I can say is 12 year olds are awesome .. and I'm happy to be compared to them.
This has gotta be the most generic and pathetic attempt at trolling I've ever seen. It's like you're not even trying 😂
