Bullhornbeach (Bushcraft and Camping)
United States
Registrace 12. 02. 2011
Hi all, welcome to Bullhornbeach (bushcraft and camping). Yea, that's the silly little name we've called our place for several years now Lol! (there's a story behind that, maybe I'll share it someday). I'm a weekend warrior bushcrafter/camper/back to basics/homestead kind of guy and thoroughly love the bushcraft community. I've never had any official training but CZcams has an abundance of information and that's where I've gained most of mine, except for my dad. He, in his day, was a real outdoors man. Being a high school teacher with summers off, he and one other teacher would hike for 2 weeks through South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, etc. with students and teach them about the outdoors. They were known as the Ozark Backpackers (we lived in the Ozark mountains). I hope to pass on a bit of knowledge I've gained from him, and so many others on YT, with whoever visits here. But mainly I just enjoy dirt time and decided to video some of it. Thanks for stopping by.
Savannahs Fire!
I LOVE IT WHEN THE YOUNG ONES SHOW INTEREST!! My bro Nick came over for a few hours and brought his oldest and she wanted to start a bushcraft fire! So here it is! Savannahs first Flint and Steel Fire! We also played around with the bow drill but no success. Very damp evening but fun!

I'm confused. My mantles just flamed up and vanished.
Most people pre-burn them before they light them. That’s some thing I didn’t know.
That blank space to the right or actually, below the stove is the wheel well.
Thx for watching!!
Now it cost $59.99
Wow!
Have one for over a year. Only real issue is the AC runs all day and never really cools down the space. Added vent covers that help but I'm in Florida and it definitely struggles. I'm going try to install bigger unit. Also fridge struggles to maintain temp. I added recirculating fan and it helps but it's another thing I'm going to replace
I agree on the fridge for sure. Ours isn’t great either. I’ve heard a lot of people upgrade the ac.
Great ideas indeed. Enjoyed the demonstrations .
Yes sir! Easy to make and super handy. Thx for watching brother!
Can u post here the link ?
I’ll see if I can find a link but there are several on Temu to choose from

Whelp, since you asked, my friend, I answered. I just posted a video that i think might help you out. I hope you don't mind that I used clips from your practice session. Of course, I'll gladly pull down my video if you'd like. I'm just trying to help. Let me know if you have any questions, or if anything is unclear in my video. Good luck, sir.
Its all good man, thx for the feed back!!
Great job, Savannah! That is how it's done. Hank, you're a great teacher.
Thx sir! She did a great job!!
Good stuff, What are you using to strike the striker against? I'm lucky to be surrounded by flint where I am.
@theoutdoortraditionalist that’s actually English flint my daughter picked up several years ago when she visited your beautiful country! 🤘
Great video, Ive been working on my fire skills. Bow drill is scary, I got bad shoulders and back, but maybe if I switched off with my son I could do it. If I could only do 75 strokes at a time would that be enough? Also do you think you could carve a spindle from a block or does it need the circular growth rings of a branch or something? Subscribed, good video.
Thx for watching and subbing! As far as stroke count it’s hard to say. Just too many variables. Types of wood, pressure, etc… But pine was definitely easier than cedar for me. Give 75 a shot and see how it works for you. From what I’ve learned the spindle and hearth should be the same wood but it’s certainly worth trying something new if you have a block laying around. Thx again!!
I have to laugh at this. After 10,000 yrs of scientific advancement these people still want you to waste your time starting a fire by rubbing two sticks together. We have ferocerium rods, matches, lighters, but we need to go back to the Stone Age to light a fire??? Pathetic!!
Hu-huh!! My names howard an ima go round CZcams an put dumb comments on peoples videos cuz I’m smarter’n errbody else!!….. Hey howey I looked up your amazing channel. 1 whole subscriber!! Mommy must be so proud of her lil basement dweller. Pathetic!!
@@Bullhornbeach get a life.
Yea Savannah!!!!!!! So proud 😊
She did awesome!
She did everything well. She got the spark to the char quick, the char to the bundle quick and then got the bundle to flame pretty quick. 10 out of 10. Way to go BHB for spreading the wonder of bushcraft to another generation.
Thx brother! yea I edited out how long it actually took me to get a spark! that was a little embarrassing man, lol! But she did great. We had a good few hours around the camp fire.
Well thank you for the mention young man :) As well as using a set I really enjoy watching others achieve an ember. You've got the basis of a good technique there, I look back at my earlier sets and technique and wonder how I managed! I reckon you can add power to your bow reps by moving your grounded knee further back behind your bent knee, that will then move the bow from going over your foot and be more like sword thrust which utilises shoulder power (imagine brushing the yard one-handed across your body or by your side). I'd also not take much material off the end of the drill because the initial bowing is to char slightly and marry the surface areas of the depression and drill for maximum contact and it's also charred material. Happy to chip in more stuff if you want me to Hank. I noticed the metal bearing block you used, I have to say that I have no experience so I will be watching future usage. One final thing: of the senses your eyes, ears and touch are used and this may sound odd but I smell the scorched notch-really-as the smell is slightly different to scorched firewood and to me it's bolt on part of the muscle memory. Top job.
Thanks for the input brother. Yeah on that last one the smell really hit me. I didn’t mention it in the video, but I noticed it for sure. You may have heard me cough at the end that was because I was breathing so much smoke. I’ll definitely be smelling for that one in the future.
Man that was one hell of an effort. I'm tired just watching you. I think you're right. The first few minutes bring the wood to temp, then you put the gas to it and viola, ember. Great video. Thanks BB.
Man, I see these guys on TV and they make it look easy in minutes. That was literally about an hour of video. I wore myself out big time. Thanks for watching BeeZo!
How many BTU is your AC?
I believe mine is 5000
Thanks nice tips
You bet! Thx for watching
Thanks for Sharing
You bet!! Thx for watching!
@4:17, the sign on the side said "dutchman"...is that the same as the coleman?...why didn't they just put coleman?
Good question! I think it’s technically a Dutchman branded by Coleman.
I didn't know about the aperture being the same diameter as the bit. They were 'all the rage' a few years ago when folk were tapping Birch trees but a cut branch is now the preferred method.
Man I remember the rage that went on! lol. I just never got one. Found this one w the hole/bit size combo and figured why not! Thx for watching Austin!
lol dude.. you put the stick in and then still turned it by the pivot point.. the point of having the stick is for leverage
ha! yea I'm sure I could have done better!
You people need to stop supporting this garbage. You do fully support them if you buy from them.
Great sound effects for sure.
hahahahaha!!! Yea those cost extra! Hows it going Matt?
I think it worked pretty well. The drill works pretty good. The test is, would the tapered cutting end stand up to a little larger stick being batoned? Then the fitment would be tighter in the hole drilled. That's going to be a tough baton job though. Great video BB. Aways woundered about that tool.
Yea man my first 2 attempts were larger diameter. No go. It just got stuck. Unsticking it just broke the peg. Maybe I should have tapered the sticks first. May try that. But yea I was pretty happy with the results. Thx for watching brother!!
Great video and comparison of the two!! Sometimes the old adage of "You get what you pay for" holds true. I had an old Coghlan's folding camp saw for long time. Someone stole it out of our campsite, so I replaced it with Sven folding camp saw. The Sven looked like a better saw, but after using it, I actually like the Coghlan's better. So I am going to end up getting a Coghlan's to stick back in my camper.
True that! I'm usually never one to buy the expensive gear but sometimes it is really worth it. Luckily both Bahco's were given to me! Thx for watching K!!
Hey Hank 👋 early morning here in Ohio I’m trying to psych myself up for the eclipse this afternoon 😮
Morning Matt! I'm teleworking today and should be right in the path of it. Gonna step outside about 1:45
The wiggle in the hinge joint on the cheap one worries me. Looks like a likely failure point. And you don't need a failure when minutes count to get a fire started in bad weather. My 2 cents- sometimes cheaper is just that... cheap. Thanks for the video 🤘
Yea man I agree. Unless you wanna carry 5 saws with you. 🤣🤣. Thx BroB!!
What is plug and play?
Talking about the back up camera? I thought “plugs” were already wired in to “play” on the back up monitor, but they weren’t. I had to cut the wires at the back top light and wire it myself. Plug and play would have been a lot easier. Hope that helps. !! 🤘
Thank you for the informative video! I’m thinking about buying this to live in it full time. I’m a single mom with my two pre teens and my baby. You would think a family would get something bigger but affordability wise this size will do just fine until I can afford to get us into something bigger or we might just like this and stick with a smaller space. It’ll be our second rv we’ve lived in. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed the video! Best of luck on your purchase, we’ve enjoyed our time in this one. Thx for watching!
Good luck to you and your family. I just bought one to live in full time for myself, my partner and our 85 pound dog. It’s been a week so far…I never realized how many clothes I have. Others than that, we love it. Hope you all make some great memories in your new home 🌹
@@jenonymous-dev thx for watching!! Enjoy your camper!
Nice job. Now it's time to make some hot tea :)
Thanks!! That was a fun night!
I got the 17R this one has no bunkers and they had put cabinets inside the bathroom. The 17R is perfect for two people.
Good choice. I wish I had known about that one when I bought , but that’s ok. Happy camping!
Great overview
Thank you sir!
How does the A/C keep up? Wife and I are in the market for a small travel trailer like this one. Concerned that the little window unit won’t keep it cool on hot Kansas days. Normal for us to camp when it’s 90+ degrees. Want one that will stay cool even on the hottest days.
Really it does pretty good. 90+ will push it but if the campsite has shade you should be ok. Also some people upgrade just for that reason. I think mine is either 5000 or 8000 btu, 10000 would be better. I remember those hot days on the flight line at McConnell! Lol. Now I’m in Arkansas, 100+ in July and August on some days and so far I’m pretty happy with it. Thx for watching Farm!
Thank you sir. This camper is nice ❤
You’re very welcome. Thx for watching ruby
Cooking brats?
Yea I think we did that night!
They put that hook on the door, so the door won't interfere with the operation of the power awning.
Agree. I just think they could have a better design. Thx for watching!
120 a month with a 1000.00 down
Great bargain
My hose is to big to fit in the bumper
That’s odd, I thot they were all the same
Thank you what kind of vehicle could it use to tow that is it 3000 lb? Thx
I have a ford f-150 with the 5.0 and it pulls it easily. Dry empty weight is about 3000. Thx for watching!!
The weight for this thing says 3,000 lbs. Gvwr says 4,000 lbs. Does that mean a Honda Pilot or 4Runner (max haul weight for both is 5,000 lbs could pull it? Or would that be too rough on the car and I would have to get a bigger truck?
Looking at the math it’s seems ok but I’d check with someone in the industry to be sure
What is the interior height? Thank you
Just barely over 6’. Maybe 6’3” at best.
I have a 2022; the only thing that irritates me is they could've pitched the shower vent 3 inches to the right so I could fit my head into it instead of having to lean over to fit my head into the shower compartment. I'm 6 feet tall, and the shower is only made for persons around 5"5. Otherwise,. It's a great little camper for the price!
Totally agree. I gotta stoop in there as well. Thx for watching geocs!!
Extension spring and two wood screws will hold open your cabinet doors. Cloth storage bins with handles on the bunks. Retention strap across the front if you want; these are nice cause you can pack in the house and carry them out to the camper for loading. Hood lifts on the bed storage. Thanks for the demo. Simple trailer for easy mods.
Good tips! Got the extension springs installed. Thx for watching!!
Hey Mr. Bullhornbeach, always good to see you & your videos. You must of heard my fish story before but everything always seamed much bigger back then 😂 Keep em coming
🤣. Yea man I needed another measuring stick to go along with my 3’ tape! 🤣. Thx for watching brother
Hopefully you will have no other issues with this AC unit!! Nothing worse than purchasing a brand new camper, and having to deal with incompetent service sections!! After Camping World pretty much told Conservatives to shop else where, them or any of their affiliates, will no longer bet getting my business!! Good job!
Thx man, at the time I didnt know RVs.com was owned by them or I would not have ever bothered to go there. Lesson learned!
Dealers absolutely suck. Garbage, garbage, garbage!! I have found that doing every thing myself, is the best!! Good luck Hank!
Totally agree on that one brother!
When I watched your initial introduction video for this camper, my first thoughts on the wall unit, was that you will have issues with it. The bad thing about the wall units, is that they have to be correctly installed to begin with, and then when you park your camper in the camp ground, you have to make sure that it is either 100% level, (Which in some campgrounds almost impossible), or the camper leaning slightly to the left side to allow the water to drain outbound. We have the roof mounted unit on our Jayco, and finally had to replace it in 2022. Our local RV dealer sucks here too. I think it is just the RV dealers in general. We had a tree limb fall through the roof of our first camper, and it was in the dealer for repairs for 6 months! The WHOLE camping season. And when we got it back, it was filthy. Hand prints all over the walls and ceiling, saw dust in the floor, in the storage areas, and staples and screws scattered through out the camper. They winterized it, as it was end of season when we finally got it back. And the next spring when I de-winterized it, the outside shower was cracked because they failed to winterize it. So I had to replace that. After that ordeal, and dealing with them for over a year trying to get stuff resolved, we just cut our losses, and traded our Gulf Stream in for our Jayco. We actually went up to Indiana to buy our Jayco. And I have NEVER been back to the dealer since. I do all the repairs my self, because I do it right, and know it is done right. One thing you need to do, that no one explained to me, is every few years, pull the corner trim pieces off, clean off all the old sealant, and replace it with the Dicor corner seal kits!! This will save you some extensive repairs if you keep this camper long term. I had two corners that leaked, and over time I had severe floor and corner rot in the wood. That is a VERY common thing with these campers. So the important piece of information I can pass on to you, is every year, inspect every spot on the roof that has sealant, and replace the sealant in the corners every few years!! These campers are built as cheap as they can build them, and the wood they use is cheap and not treated wood. So when I rebuilt the corners and flooring that rotted out, I used treated wood and sealed it up with the Dicor sealant!! Good luck and enjoy your new camper Brother!!
Thx for all the good info man! I'll def keep an eye on the roof. And like you I've pretty much given up on the dealer, at least this one, and do repairs myself if I can. You're spot on with the leveling, I had to lean it to the left A LOT and it still wanted to leak inside. I ripped it all out and "redesigned" the drain pan with a slope. Now at least it can sit pretty level and still drain. Luckily this camper is not expensive and I've been quite successful renting it out! Come spring I may rent this full time and buy another for us! ha.
