  • Quick overnight camping trip without a shelter. I set up with my very basic gear and two cheap sleeping bags, a tarp, and a folding chair. Beef stew for dinner cooked over a roaring fire.

The version with the apostrophe, "In the '50s," is considered more informal and is often used in casual conversation or writing. The version without the apostrophe, "In the 50s," is more formal and is typically used in academic or professional writing. Both forms are acceptable, but the choice may depend on the context and tone of the writing."

    Man, I love these videos of yours. People take “camping” so serious sometimes. Like bringing their tactical gear, super knives, whittling a special stick to start the fire, etc. That’s cool and fun and all, but gosh - camping is just being outside, maybe sleeping there, cooking some food, whatever. It doesn’t require a special wardrobe and it can be done with some blankets.

    reminded me of a time when my cousin got a new bag and we wanted to go snow camping to test it out. We got a late start and didn't get to the base of the mountain until after dark. We bought two bushels of wood from the local grocery store... (something we'd never normally do)... and made our way up the icy mountain roads in my Scirocco. T he roads were pretty awful, but we persevered until we found a pullout. We hiked in about a quarter mile... and realized we had forgotten the tent. Whoops. But not to be disuaded, we dug into the snow, put our pads down and got on making the fire.
    Trouble was that the town where we purchased the wood was below the snow line, so instead of fluffly powdery flakes, they got rain. All of our wood was soaked to the bone. So we hunkered down in a cold, winter camp with no tent.
    Fortunately our bags did what they advertised and we slept great until we were woken by a search and rescue guy. Apparently we arrived so late that we never knew there was a check point at the base of the mountain... a place where they would have told us that there was no camping allowed. So when the Rangers were doing their morning check they saw my car and thought it was cross country skiers who had gotten in some sort of trouble. Fortunately, the radio guy gave us a head start before he radioed that he'd found us.
    We slid down that mountain and booked on home. One of the more memorable trips I've been on.

You have given me so many ideas about surviving in the wilderness, and I wanted to thank you. I have my twig stove, lighting materials and tarps, etc. And that Dakota fire hole I knew about but you made it look so easy, and now I know how to make one. I think I could make it if I had to do it again, only this time I'm going to the woods, police can't find you there, and are too lazy to look, thank goodness. I love your videos.

    One of your best productions yet, Steve. It brought memories of 60+ years ago when my three brothers and I would camp just like that (minus store-bought wood, plastic tarp and a real camp ground). An old chunk of canvas, a pack of hotdogs and all the blankets we could smuggle out of the house, and off to the woods. Sadly, there are only three of us left now, but we still camp that way. I’ve stopped watching most of the bushcrafting channels because they tend to leave folks with the idea that if you don’t use a fire steel and carry at least a thousand dollars worth of gear, you’re not a real bushcrafter. They call themselves bushcrafters, I call them flatlanders.
    Please don’t change a thing.

      that's actually a sure fire way to die. Alcohol interferes with your body's natural "oh shit im too cold WAKE UP!" and you could quite literally sleep to death. If your not drunk or in very poor health, 99x out of 100 you will wake up when you are too cold so that you can move around, or do something to warm up.

    • @Legohaiden
