I’ve been making content since 2016. All kinds. Last about 3 years I realized I love hiking and the outdoors. I make sure I go on an adventure every week. As you film and go out on your own adventures, you’ll learn what you need and don’t. What you like and don’t. Just keep hitting that record button, bro. You’re a genuine soul. I can tell. I’m looking forward to watching. This channel will sky rocket as long as you stay the happy honest person you are. Don’t be afraid to leave a mistake or “failure” in a video. It shows you’re human and sometimes the failure is a great blooper too. Enjoy those adventures, my dude!
Hi Arthur, After watching Surviving Ringworm’s channel for years, I bought acreage 1/2 hour south of Houghton. I too had an itch to get into the deep woods and build a shelter. I got stuck deep in the Ottawa Forest and just 2 people were out that day on Atvs and I told them I had a come along and enough cable to winch out and didn’t need help. 10 minutes later a Big 4 wheel drive pickup backed up and towed me out to the main plowed road. We got talking and they said that they all look out for one another out there and to pay it forward anytime someone needs help!! I look forward to watching more of your projects on here!! John
Go with your vision of life in the outdoors. Bless you with the weight loss and your vision of a life outdoors. I am in southern Wisconsin and get up north as often as possible, which is nowhere near often enough. Can't wait to see your adventures on your new property. Who knows, maybe someday we will kayak, hike past each other 👍🏻🇺🇲
Great video! I've been camping here in East Texas (and Oklahoma) for 50 years, but never alone. Always with at least one person, but usually with a group. Everything from nothing but wrapped up in an old quilt next to the fire, to high-end glamping (lots of very expensive equipment). Recently I finally tried solo camping and it was very, very lonely. I felt like giving up on camping after that, but your last three videos have rekindled my feeling of needing to get back in the woods, so thanks very much for that! Looking forward to your next video!
Grab yourself a 20lb tank, buddy heater filter and 10ft hose. You can run that heater as much as you need for a night. Way cheaper than the little tanks!
Useful tip darling: it's safer to wear wool than cotton. When cotton gets wet it sucks the heat out of your body. Wool stays insulative even when it's sping wet. Invest in some second hand woollen sweaters. Try to go for 100% wool. It's not easy now because everyone's been going through a love affaire with polyester. Go with natural fibrres: woollen blankets. woollen socks--they don't ever stink, no matter how sweaty they get. linen in summer, cotton when there's no chance of get ting wet either by sweat or rain. Enjoy!
I don’t comment on RUclips often, but I just wanted to say… Ive watched Campin with Steve, Kent Survival, and Outdoor boys for many years, and you are a new addition… you don’t have the followers that the guys I mentioned have, but your character and personality fit right in… keep doing what you are doing and your channel will have just as many followers. Campfire cooking is a big reason why people watch these sorts of videos, maybe a dedicated cooking dish every episode would go down well, who knows… anywho…
I used to go camping a lot as a kid, but as an adult, I pretty much stopped. I just recently got back into it a couple years ago, so watching your experiences with this has been fun as I shake off my own rust from not doing it for so long.
Great stuff and very entertaining! I have also picked up camping and backpacking as a hobby recently. I'm heading out for my second solo overnight tomorrow, and I know that feeling you had the next morning very well!
HEY Arthur great camping video I like your contain your really nice guy my friend I will support your channel when you have your next video i will be there I want to tell this is my first time on your channel i think your going to great camper show it when I watch your video keep up the good work
New sub here. Great video! I stumbled onto your video after watching another great RUclipsr named Crazy Quady, you were made for RUclips, great personality. Keep up the great content. Cheers mate
i have lost 80 pounds in the last year. looking for property right now. been doing a little camping but going to step it up. sugar got me good, but its under control now.
Great video. I love your enthusiasm, and the honesty in this video. You mentioned getting better gear and that will definitely help keep you warmer, but until you can get that gear, a simple roll of reflectix (you can get at most hardware stores) between your sleeping pad and the ground will help a great deal. I've been kayak camping for about 10 years now, it is always great when I see someone just starting out. Makes me remember what it was like and why I feel in love with the outdoors. Wishing you only the best, looking forward to seeing where this adventure take you.
I respect your willingness to display your inexperience, and just go for it, subscription earned, looking forward to the evolution of your skills, but honestly, more fun watching everyone fumble into skills!! And I'm no better, I fumble too...!!! The benefits of getting out are immeasurable, keep it up, oh, and make your own spatula, on camera....👍 And if you have a p.o. box, i would be wolling to send you a huge load of grade A fatwood for your eventual fire starting efforts....
"Step Two" absolutely needs to become part of the outdoor vernacular - Props to the one and only Steve Wallis I am looking forward to seeing where this new path takes you!
New subscriber Arthur. Sent here from @outlawcamper Good stuff brother. 1) get a cot (off the ground) 2) memory foam Makes a world of difference! Cheers 🍻
I have a similar tent i got a piece of carpet cut to fit 5he floor. Good pick on the tent not having alot of mesh on it. Also you can put a blanket on top of the tent before you put the fly on. If you have a cord door you can leave it open to vent.
Arthur let me tell you I admire you for getting out and start camping. I've watched your first to and I enjoyed them. I've been camping all my life young guy till now I'm 71. On your tent at the door get you a old rug the width of your door to keep some of the outside, outside. You'll learn what you need and what you don't. Don't get discouraged, hang in there. The outdoors is my peace 👍👍
Probably mentioned somewhere, however if not, the condensation you're experiencing is from that Buddy Heater. Burning propane produces a lot of moisture. Another option would be a diesel heater. Uses less fuel and doesn't produce condensation.
You and I are going through somewhat of the same “journey” in wanting to live a much simpler but sometimes harder self supporting/survival lifestyle. I have camped all my life with family and had the best times together but I now just have this undeniable urge to connect with myself and nature and just get away from the hassles of complicated and stressful lifestyle and just get back in touch with myself and all of Gods beautiful handiwork. I wish you the best and can’t wait to see where this journey takes you. BTW the grilled cheese looked so good I had to make one myself, however being from New Mexico, instead of the Italian seasonings, I put on a thick layer of Hatch green chile. Talk about living ! Cheers my friend.
Peace. The word you're looking for is peace. It's an amazing feeling. And it's the outdoors that helps bring it. Love your videos and your attitude. More Thor, please. :)
Congrats on your weight loss and improving your health. Also, I admire your courage and determination to do what you’ve been wanting to do! I sincerely wish you all the success for your future endeavors.
I'd love to join u on this journey is there anyway u could pick up a second body and pair of hands too help have a lot of knowledge and my own setup???
Since I discovered this channel a week ago, you've made leaps and bounds with ease. Like I tell all of the outlaws and campers that watch me, "do your own thing in your own time." You've got some magic happening and your last couple videos have really helped The Girlfriend and I. Thanks for your motivation, and we'll be shouting you out in our next feature. I'm telling my friends and telling my enemies!
I love your videos man. Truly. You do worry me a bit. I know your a paranoid type but I would just recommend watching some videos about whatever type of camping your going to do. Just a few can really help you avoid possible issues that could either be serious or just miserable.
Another great camping video from you !!! THX for all the smiles you gave me as I watched and listened...YOU are a natural at making videos (as I said before). I am in the process of building out an old chevy conversion van, my plan is to go adventuring...stay in my van do the vanlife thing. There's nothing like mother nature to make you HAPPY !!! More videos please...
Hi Arthur, great content. There are several great suggestions on here, cot, rugs, wool, hand warmers. A moving blanket works great for a tent rug. Until you can get a great sleeping bag I would suggest adding a sheet inside your bag while sleeping. And toe warmers between your layered socks. Thin, warmers, thick. A beanie/touk and knit gloves for sleeping. Teton makes great bags for those of us that are larger people and have a great warranty program. Good luck Sir... oh and maybe watch some Surviving Ringworm. I believe he is in your neck of the woods.
2 helps.. 1. battery air pumps are good to use for those things that moisture inside are not good for 2. air pump helps add air to starting a fire 🌋 my buddy heaters i put a fan above & behind it to circulate the heat. it really helps👍 i subscribed because you should have more 😁 be safe out there... 🙏💒🕺🏕

True
Your gonna have a blast on this adventure of yours. And yes, you can get up to your new property in the winter. Well as long as the roads are plowed.
I used to go camping a lot as a kid, but as an adult, I pretty much stopped. I just recently got back into it a couple years ago, so watching your experiences with this has been fun as I shake off my own rust from not doing it for so long.

A little disappointed that there wasn’t a personal pizza for breakfast this time not gonna lie 😂 good stuff keep at it
If a non-alcohol step two is what you do, perfect. As long as you're enjoying your time outdoors.
How about a collaboration? LOL Lovin your channel. Keep it up!
You need a carbon monoxide detector. Enjoyed the video.
the opposite of depression is motivation..
i have lost 80 pounds in the last year. looking for property right now. been doing a little camping but going to step it up. sugar got me good, but its under control now.

Steve would have 3 carbon monoxide detectors and 8 pounds of food
Good job. Keep at. You’ll get better with each experience.
They make some nice cots that break down pretty small and will allow you to sit and sleep off the cold ground.
hi get some hand warmers
New subscriber Arthur. Sent here from @outlawcamper Good stuff brother. 1) get a cot (off the ground)

Careful with using the pan as a plate and scraping off the nonstick coating with forks and knives, and the metal tongs.

After you mentioned post10 I subscribed. Good luck with your RUclips journey.
OMG I love you! And how positive you are!!!!! Love your videos, Im always going to watch them.
Congrats! I have winter camped and it is challenging. Enjoy the videos and look forward to the UP shenanigans!
Hey I love your channel! Please be careful though about cooking in non-ventilated areas, it can be harmful to your health. Just looking out for ya 😊
🤘👀 just found this channel ... keep it up great video👍
I'd love to join u on this journey is there anyway u could pick up a second body and pair of hands too help have a lot of knowledge and my own setup???
Well if Trump gets in again with the Supreme Courts Help all fucking hell is going to happen.
This video was fantastic..I know what ya mean..nothing like waking up in the woods…it does awaken something in us humans
Dang it. Another video I watched. I’m not sold on you yet but I’m am interested in a noob building a homestead.
Congratulations on your place in northern MI. Can’t wait to see those videos.
New subscriber. I enjoyed the video.
Go build an A frame it doesn't have to be huge, just big enough to go camping in.
Below freezing temperatures would be brutal
Anyone ever tell you that you remind them of Paul Giamatti?
Loved it! Can't wait for next adventure.
For car camping, bring what you want.
Since I discovered this channel a week ago, you've made leaps and bounds with ease. Like I tell all of the outlaws and campers that watch me, "do your own thing in your own time." You've got some magic happening and your last couple videos have really helped The Girlfriend and I. Thanks for your motivation, and we'll be shouting you out in our next feature. I'm telling my friends and telling my enemies!
Entertaining.
I love your videos man. Truly. You do worry me a bit. I know your a paranoid type but I would just recommend watching some videos about whatever type of camping your going to do. Just a few can really help you avoid possible issues that could either be serious or just miserable.
Insulated sleeping pad that is all air. Good 2-300 dollar sleeping bag and you would sweat your ass off if you choose. Never used a heater.
Another great camping video from you !!! THX for all the smiles you gave me as I watched and listened...YOU are a natural at making videos (as I said before). I am in the process of building out an old chevy conversion van, my plan is to go adventuring...stay in my van do the vanlife thing. There's nothing like mother nature to make you HAPPY !!! More videos please...
Really enjoy your honesty about things,and your little sayings!IM a subsciber

2 helps..
1. battery air pumps are good to use for those things that moisture inside are not good for
2. air pump helps add air to starting a fire 🌋
my buddy heaters i put a fan above & behind it to circulate the heat. it really helps👍
i subscribed because you should have more 😁
be safe out there...
