- 4 DAY BUSHCRAFT TRIP - Making Native American Style Flute. This is a 4 day lake trip. The first lake connects to 2 other much bigger lakes via a small stream and short portage. I was out for 6 days, only filmed 4. The weather was warmer and the mosquitoes less of a problem so I chose a 3x3m tarp for my shelter but brought a bug net along. It held off the rain and weather just great. Early on the trip I found a dead, dry branch section on a bush of goat willow ( Salix Caprea ), I was once told that here in Scandinavia it was fairly common to make willow flutes from it. I decided to make a Native American style flute from it, a truly magical instrument. It was a slow and very laborious project but equally fun and fulfilling. As a kid I was shown how to make similar bamboo flutes, a lot easier since you don't have to hollow it out with a gouge. After hollowing both halfs of the wood, I lashed the two halves together with some cord and made some bush glue to secure them together and to make it airtight. The glue dries super fast so you have to work very quickly. Once dry if made well, it creates a very strong bond.
The holes where made with a knife and file about 1 inch apart from eachother give or take. The sound mechanism is very simple and straight forward, 2 chambers and a wooden block that direct the airflow from the first chamber to a splitting sharp edge on the second chamber.
I tuned the flute by ear which is always a gamble but I got it pretty accurate. Back home I found that the flute tuning was in the key of G with the last 2 high notes slightly too sharp. It took me 4 days to make it all by hand because I really took my time and did other things as well, like paddling for hours on end, camp chores, cooking etc.
I also did a lot of painting on this trip, I share 3 of them with you. The first one was tricky, I manage to dock the raft away from my lake shore camp and paint from the raft without wobbling or moving about, much easier that way. There were some epic cumulus clouds and low wind, perfect conditions to paint cloudscapes. Did you know there is an association called The cloud Appreciation Society for cloud nerds like myself? Have a look, its great. I had one day where it rained all day and night, but i got busy with the flute carving decorations.
I kept the food rather simple on this trip bringing a frozen solid hunk of meat to roast by the campfire on the first night. The following days i pretty much lived on wild berries, mushrooms, peanuts, eggs and dry meat. I did treat myself to some tuna salad one day. Some of you asked me why I don't catch and cook fish. The reason is simple. I really don't like eating most types of lake fish like pike, perch, roach etc. I do it if i am stuck in the wild and starving which is very rare indeed. When I fish is for the joy of it and for maintaining the skills of catching fish, but 95% of the time I let them go. The other 5% end up in the pan for my wife or friends.
Well, its great to be back, I hope you are all doing great. Thanks for watching - Ric

meat, mushrooms, blue cheese, wild blue berries, chantarelles, garlic butter, chorizo, eggs, chick peas, fish, wild onion, cherry tomatoes, mayo
BUSH GLUE
spruce or pine resin, tinny bit of beeswax and charcoal. I usually just eyeball the measurements, depending on what I need the glue for, since wood contracts and expands i made the glue slighty flexible rather than brittle.

Bushcrafter, artist, musician.. magician! What an ending with the flute, so much respect.
👍
How could you have forgotten the main thing - outdoor chef extroardinaire!
I suffer severely from anxiety, when I watch your videos it elevates my mood, calms me down and just let's me ground myself to the present moment. I just love how resourceful and creative you are! When you do all that cooking it makes me hungry haha.
Thank you so much yet again for a wonderful video, I am always excited to see a new upload from you, been subscribed for half a year and look forward to many more to come.
Thank you Rick, from Australia 👌❤️
Thanks Anthony👍
@@anthonyg.7343 Thats like the cure for anxiety
Where in Oz Ole mate?
@Scott Trainer The other bloke doesn't think so. And the poster of the video probably has his own idea about who's in charge. Just saying. Cheers from North Queensland.
@Scott Trainer Good thing disagreement about religion never went pear shaped. The problem is, everyone always thinks the other bloke is wrong. Case in point, you.
How absolutely terrible of a life does someone have to give this video a thumbs down? I feel a profound sadness for such people. I pray that one day they find peace. Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing. I am glad to see that you are well.
Thank you👍
@woodsboy me well said sir.
Good thing that it still helps him for his CZcams analytics so joke is on the hater 🤣
@@earthangel8730 awww. How sad. I hope you feel better now.
@@earthangel8730 freedom to express myself perhaps? Which is what i was doing in my comment. Saying what i feel, just like everyone else. You ask why do i care. Why do you care? I'm an arrogant ass because YOU don't like a comment that i made. I'm making no assumptions. I'm stating what i feel. But your telling me to STOP. Who are you to tell me anything? You tell me to mind my own business. Maybe you should follow your own advice and mind yours. So much emotion? Anger? Over a simple comment on a youtube video. I am many things but naive isn't one of them young one. You may comment again so you can have the last word but I'll not answer again. I wish you well. Peace love and happiness.
This will live forever thanks to youtube. What an absolute master of this realm he was.
that was super cool brother i am beyond impressed mouth dropped u made that instrument then played it like it was nothing. you my friend are a true inspiration
Thank you👍
And the bird came to enjoy the music, many creatures listened. It was a beautiful thing.
love the flute it is ethereal and and very ancestral to the indigenous within me and loved the echo and the birds singing along
👍
Браво Рик!Господа,сегодня год как нет с нами Рика.Помянем его память,царство ему небесное.Очень талантливый был человек.

The sound of the flute is very loud and clear perfect for mother nature. Cheers my friend

You bushcraft on a completely different level than the rest of the planet, brother. That whole playing a flute you just made out of a stick in the forest...🤯 The music itself reminded me of some of what I listened to in design studio at college; an artist named R. Carlos Nakai (Native American flute player). Thanks and stay well, Ric.
thanks👍 you too!
I love that flute you made it sound magical
Thanks, it really does👍

As for the flute the birds cry bravo ! nature's silence beckons more. The man says it all with no words. Travel well my fellow earth dwellers.
Coolest man in wild. Real master.

👍🙂
Omg! Loved your video. In fact, you are my favorite bushcraft channel across the board. I am so inspired with your flute making and sacred song. God speed and bless you for all you do. A combat veteran, I find myself troubled and anxious at times. When I tune in to your videos, I find great relief and steal away from the past and brought back to what really matters. There is no comparison to the positive effects I experience when I watch your videos, which usually is in the first waking hour with my coffee. Please know that you are doing so much good to those who watch your channel, and please continue post your bushcraft adventures. Thank you for being so awesome!
The camping site was very beautiful. Especially the rain sound is very relaxing.
Yes it was!
Lots of love and support ❤️
Thank you👍
You make me realise how simple and beautiful life really is. Your attention to detail and unhurried pace all add up to a magical experience, in comparison to the chaos we surround ourselves with. Thank you love and peace.
Great👍
I really appreciate how you are in harmony with Gods beautiful creation... you are a truly blessed man, thanks for making the films it reminds me of God! And the videos help to remind me I don’t need “vanity” fast cars, new clothes, amazing new house, these videos remind me that all I need is God and everything I need to survive as a man He has set right before me in our own backyard!! Thank you sir and may the peace of God continue to be with you and keep you safe! Love ya!

A truly lovely video once again Rik.. The escapism and serenity is something many can be jealous of in this troubled world. My mind just drifted watching this film. Beautiful.

I can't paint like you, but I do love to take photos of my campsites. There is nothing more beautiful than a tent in the woods 🥰⛺️🌳
Love that!

By the end of this amazing video, listening to the beautiful sounds of your flute (carved by you) echoing around the lake, I must tell you that tears rolled down on my face. For me that moment symbolizes the truly essence of life when mind, body and spirit comes together as one. I can't thank you enough for sharing such precious moments with all of us. The simplicity and beauty of it all just touched my soul.THANK YOU!!

Thank you
Thank you for making such wonderful videos, perfect escapism from a very unbalanced and problematic world 👍🏻 a reminder to all to look around find your inner peace and respect the planet thanks Glyn
most welcome👍
Love all the videos lad!! Awesome!! Such genius of a man.
Hi Ric thank you for the very much needed camp adventure. You seem to find great places. That is an fantastic instrument and you play it very nicely.
You are very welcome, thanks👍
Nice, calm and soothing. In contrast the concrete jungle called cities are ugly. But we were born and raised in cities and dont know how to live outside them. Living in nature is a skill and not easy. So you are our window to nature.
👍
Just wow! I’m speechless at that flute… friggin cool as hell
This is AMAIZING. Thank you from Poland.
so peacefully and relief the stress completely
Wou! Very well described the peaceful and unhurried atmosphere that can be achieved in nature.
thanks
Wonderful!❤️
So beautiful and peaceful....
Oh, so beautiful! Loved your flute initiation...magical...the birds and the sunset sang with you! Delightful! Thanks so much for sharing the magic...
Most welcome 👍
Ric : You deserve many more Subs than you get Bro' your video's are top class. The simple life is real peace. God bless you mate.l
If more people watched your videos, there would be more peace and quiet and calmness of spirit
Outstanding.
Outstanding.👍👍 Thank you.
Ric👍👍 Plow point works good as long as the rain is coming down straight😊 Was wondering about the biting flies and skeeters. Looked like a great time actually, rain and all. Paddled lots eh, seemed like a lot of water to navigate there, luckily on film anyway it wasn't in the rain😎 6 days in the bush..how exhilarating, and we only got to see 4..bummer. Good job on the flute construction, similar to Native American. A Shakuhachi maybe not, but it does a fine tribal second😉 Another stellar video with excellent filming, thanks for the work👌 Stay safe. See ya next time. Enjoy!
Thanks! the mosquito net and wind takes care of them and yes I got caught in the rain twice while paddling. Thanks for watching 👍
Bravo to this man! 47:00 you are quite the artist. Many respects. Thank you so much for sharing the artistry of your craft.
I sincerely admire your hard work and dedication level 💯 💪
Excellent video Rik. Great job on the flute. I thought you'd never give us a tune. Nice paintings too. I can tell you enjoyed yourself.
I did. Many thanks👍
Very refreshing and beautiful, thanks ...
👍
Am developing a "special place" for me and mine on the Ross in North Queensland for moments to get away without getting away. When all four people in the family are still working full time even in these troubling days a weekend away under canvass with a fire I hope will be life reassuring. Have 2 kayaks and a large canoe for toting family and gear and am spruiking your channel for what could be. Very polished presentations and enjoy the content in every way especially the lack of everything unimportant. Cheers from North Queensland Australia.
Sounds great, cheers👍
Superb!
Brilliant mate 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love and respect from Israel
I really enjoy watching your vids. Most people pitch and cut firewood, or eat. You either paint, or make something extraordinary like the flute.
Damn. This was just beautiful. Thanks.
Holly cow!!! I just wanna take some time for such dedication you put on your videos man! I mean the camera shots, the editing, the description and details about everything you do!!! There is nothing i love more than watching these type of videos at night to fall sleep, but you keep it so interesting that i cant hahahaha absolutely loved it!!!! Thank you so much for sharing such amazing experience!!! Wish you and your family the best!!! Saludos desde MEXICO ! n_n
Thanks a lot, same to you👍
Gr8 vid as usual Ric🤗👍 I caught sight of one of your fingers which looked quite sore.😟 Hope it healed up well but I know you're well prepared for these eventualities with your stocked first aid kit⛑🥰 Beautiful magical evening sky🌌💝
All good. Thanks 👍
