Great video!! Where I'm at, I have the opportunity to use the long/tall grasses like around marshes. I've found that when you stack it, go from end to end then the next layer go side to side and back and forth like that, until it's stacked a little higher than your knee. Make each layer about as thick as your hand is wide. It makes for a very warm and comfortable bed.
So many outside of the bushcraft realm references. “Did he just say agent 47?” lol also part of the vid reminded me of those old Bob Ross vids “here’s a happy little tree” good vid as always keep it up 👍🏼
My instinct would be to build them lengthwise until it got to that first log then go across using it as a 'box spring' and or criss-cross then back to length. Kind of neat looking.
Even the Military use "Bed Cot's" to keep you off the ground. When camping these days we have something that looks like "A Portable Gurney.". Adjustable height. Comes with side pockets.
Great video! Thank you =) I'd love to try this, do you know if this is allowed with "allemansrätten", or is this bed only for emergencies? And how big is your saw? I only have the small Laplander, but I might ask Santa for a bigger one ;)
Hej Robin , Thanks for asking such a responsible question. This is a "survival" bed so its only really for emergencies if you have to leave the rules of Allemansratten". This was filmed at our school in Varmland and even then we waited till trees had come down in a storm. If land owner permission cant be got I tend to use the rule that "if it is dead and below my knees" then its ok. For example a tree that is laying flat with all its needles and leaves fallen off. Once I am being respectful of the surroundings, of course. Again thank you for asking a great question.
Would it be reasonable to put the first layer of branches in with the stalk/thick ends of the initial spruce boughs running up the side of the log frame like the ribs of a canoe? Creating a cage/hammock/bathtub effect? The softer end bent across the ground. Then fill that "canoe" structure with material. I'm thinking it might keep more of the bedding contained and condensed for a more plush/insulated experience and prevent the migration of material out of the gaps in the log frame due to frequent repositioning throughout a single night.
100 percent it would be more reasonable. Just mother nature rarely provides the perfect material to hand. Also its a personal thing with me. If I cant do it in under an hour in the winter it rarely makes it into my system.
@pronabmisra3175 great question. leaves hold so much moisture here in the west. In colder temperatures, you also don't want wind blowing away all your warm air. Great in the summer, tho. So branches and bows help trap a lot of warm air. Also, leaves crush down.
I would be interested in this myself. Have you found an answer ? If not I can ask my collegues in the Australian survival school for there advice. I imagine the answer would be in the Australian/irish king of bushcraft book. Richard greaves was the pioneer of all this and you can get his books for free and it all pertains to Australia. Forgive me if you have read them already
@inforestsandlands thanks for the reply! I haven't read his books. I'll have a look for them and add them to my lengthy reading list. :) In the southwest of Victoria where I go camping mostly it is rain forest with a lot of fern bracken/ new ferns on the ground. They would work. Other more arid areas (aka most of australia) maybe gum tree leaves or hardy grasses? Ie. Button grass...
@@inforestsandlands Here in the East Coast of Canada we now have ticks which carry lyme disease year round , even when there's snow , it just doesn't get cold enough for long enough to kill them off .
@DanielBelliveau-y5x oh no. I have been following the decimation of the rockies wilderness due to the pine weevil not dying off in the winter. The winters are coming much slower here in Sweden, too. I'll be keeping on eye on this one.
pressing down on it to show how firmly it's packed was very helpful

Heard of you from Corporal Kelly. He holds u in high regards!!!
All great information and tips Joe! I'm sure Agent 47 and Megatron would approve!

Fantastic description and super instruction, thank you.
Bloody lovely axe mate 😉

Sound advice. I wish I'd heard that bit about springs 40 years ago...
40 years Damn thats some serious bush time. Well brother they say some scars you get from growing up and others from showing up.
Solid information Je. That tip about cutting the branches off on a 45 is genius. Thanks
Nate
As always your very welcome brother Nate. Hope the sun is shining for you this week
High quality instruction, love this content!
Means a lot Mark, thank you.
Great video, thanks for sharing :)

Good video, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !
Appreciate it and blessings returned my brother

@@prepperinthewoods if yah know yah know brother haha.
Great tips for sure but the biggest tip I got was don’t sleep on a bush craft bed in the nude lol . Great vid Joe thanks for sharing

From the big man himself. Appreciate it, brother
Amazing video!
@jingiz thank you +
Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Thank you and the same to you sir.
well done man as always. ❤💯
Really appreciate the support Sir. Glad you are enjoying it
Cool channel mate! Hope you get lots more subs
Appreciate that. Its a fun project to do and if people are enjoying it its win win

ok - over and out, PHEW!!!!!!
Even the Military use "Bed Cot's" to keep you off the ground. When camping these days we have something that looks like "A Portable Gurney.". Adjustable height. Comes with side pockets.
Its the winning formula. Cool wind in the heat and off the ground in the cold. I know what I will be googling today.
Great video! Thank you =)
I'd love to try this, do you know if this is allowed with "allemansrätten", or is this bed only for emergencies?
And how big is your saw? I only have the small Laplander, but I might ask Santa for a bigger one ;)

@@inforestsandlands Thank you for teaching people to be responsible in the woods and care for our nature =)
What saw are you using? Great knowledge
@@BobbysWorld_of_Art Silky "bigboy" outback edition my man
What is the name of your backpack and where can it be purchased? Thanks
@@Michele-se8kg. It's one that an old hunter in my village made himself. I got it after he passed away.
Thank you so much for getting back to me. My husband thinks it’s beautiful.

Isn't it better to use dry leaves? What is your opinion, dear.❤ from India
@pronabmisra3175 great question.

Hmmm... I wonder what greenery would work is australia to make a cold belt? We have lots of branch stuff, but pine filler? Nope.

@DanielBelliveau-y5x no ticks in the winter in the boreals, my man. In the summer, there ain't no need for these monsters haha
