  • Camping under a foldable shelter I originally designed to be hidden on public property for stealth camping adventures. It needs a few tweaks but seems to work quite well. Another option for stealth camping!

    When I was about 7 or 8, my Dad took us camping behind my family's property in Farmville Va. A creek ran through the area and Dad gathered some rocks for a fire. I'm 47 now and I went back to the camping site last year and the rocks were still in the same place. He passed in 92 so it was great to see something that he did for us when we were kids.

    @sailor-rick Před 4 lety +141

    Unasked for advice: Plant some pines, now, so that in in several years you can start to see a pine forest grow up on some of your cleared field. You could start with a quarter-hectare, 144 saplings spaced every 4 or 5 meters into a tree grid (perfect tarp spacing). Pine forests are GREAT for camping because the dropped needles keep the ground cleared and are soft to sleep on; the pine resin is great for firestarting and making pine pitch; the long straight timber makes for good tarp tenting, etc... Also, around the periphery, you could plant a few Christmas tree saplings. Growing pines is about the easiest tree farming on the planet. They grow fast, require very little maintenance. CHeers. P.S. Leave quite a bit of space between the house and the pines... just in case of fire.

    • @doloresreynolds8145
      @doloresreynolds8145 Před 4 lety +17

      Rick Ritchie Just don't plant them too close to any of your buildings, because they burn well, and are soft enough that the tops often blow off. Also, if you intersperse your planting with hardwood/deciduous trees, your forest will be healthier, you will have a better windbreak, and you will have a better variety of wood for different uses (long burns, for example). Ps, Xmas trees require a couple of prunings during their 7-10 year life, maybe a bug treatment. Do check on sales limitations if you plan to sell any, as you know.

Recently I know that a lot of my friends are facing potential homelessness and I think that this channel has dignity, exploration and a positive attitude about not living in a house. I don't think that homeless dignity is the main thrust of what Steve is doing, but I can garauntee that people in that situation could really use some positive vibes and mentality and how-to stuff.

Ditto for the use of the four wheeler; I have a blown right knee, a bad back and arthritis; I still enjoy the great outdoors; I simply don’t hike. I hunt with family or friends, fish from a boat and camp from a car (or friend’s four wheeler). Please don’t feel like you are less an outdoorsman because you don’t hike.

    I don't know if you will ever read this , but, there is a trick for keeping the bottom of your pan fresh when cooking on an open fire, Cote the bottom of the pan with dish soap before cooking.
    When your finished and cleaning the pan a little water and a scrubby makes short work of the build up.
    I learned this trick when I was a young scout 50 years ago, good camping and Hunker down my friend.
