Wild West Bushcraft: Solo Camping for 5 Days (Ep.3)

Step into the cowboy boots of a pioneer building a homestead in the old west. Maybe I’ve watched too many westerns like 1883 but its reinvigorated my childhood love of pioneers, cowboys, and covered wagons. Combine that with my interest in bushcraft, building survival shelters, cowboy camping and boom this channel is born. I hope to honor our forefathers and better understand their lives and struggles through living history and a bit of experimental archeology. Please like and subscribe to follow along in the adventures.
In this episode I begin building the frame to my cabin using cedar. Cedar was often used by pioneers for cabins because the wood is naturally bug and rot resistant. The downside is that it's incredibly flammable. The brush from tree limbs I put on the fire is from a cedar tree and you can see it burns hot and fast.
