  • Join me on a solo overnight early winter camping trip in a bushcraft shelter. Skillshare: skl.sh/taoutdoors12201 I build a raised bed, keep warm by the long fire pit and enjoy an early winter camping night under the moss roof bushcraft viking house. In this first overnight in the viking shelter I cook meat over the grill on the fire. Temperatures got down to 3 degrees Celcius with heavy rain in the morning.

    • @nickdavies6547
      @nickdavies6547 Před 3 lety +1

      I feel for you. Birch bark is an excellent tinder material, and you'd be hard pressed to find a woodland in the UK without it. But that's what bushcraft is all about - making use of what's available locally. There must be a material local to you that was used thousands of years ago to use as tinder. I know on Mike's videos, when he's been building Viking houses and so forth, he's often said "This probably wasn't exactly how they did it, but I'm working with what I've got". There are loads of different things that can be used as tinder, it's a case of doing a bit of research and finding out what your local ancestors used all those years ago :-) But I hope you enjoy the experience - and education - of finding out. To me, that's a large part of the fascination of this stuff, you're never too old to learn something new.

    The wattle walls remind me of a shelter my nephew once made up in the hills near where he lived. We were planning on doing an overnight camp there but the shelter's location on a wind-swept ridge and the holes in the walls meant that it would not been much colder sleeping outside in the open. We ended up going to a lean-to he had made in a more sheltered spot.
    If I were making something like that hut, there would definitely be daub on those wattles - we get icy winds that feel like they could peel paint.

    Regarding the kids - if I can share a bit of encouragement with you...it gets better!! I've raised three, and they are all teenagers now. My youngest has become my "any time camping buddy" and we have such a blast getting out and trying the stuff we see on all the bushcraft videos we see on youtube! :)
    All things considered, I've enjoyed every stage of the kiddos growing up. But, it definitely gets better and better as their vocabulary and comprehension increase. Children are absolutely amazing. You seem like you've got a level head on your shoulders, so I'm quite sure you're doing very well with parenting. Hey - we're all just winging it if we're honest! Anyways, have a great day/week, and I hope you and your family enjoy your Christmas holiday!

    Mate, to help prevent funghi growth in your shelters, scrape the top inch or two away of the floor where your shelter is going to be before building (or once its in situe), and any timbers you use inside and out always debark to remove any funghi that will spread spores inside the shelter. The outer bark is where all the bugs live, where the bacteria is, and more importantly where the funghi and the funghi spores are, Even if you have one small patch of infected wood, it will spread and thrive in the warmer dark climate you are creating within the shelter. Debarking the timber you use will most definitely help prevent that problem from happening in the future.
    Love your videos by the way, i watch them all the time.

    Without knowing what type of fungi are present, I think I would have exposed the bedding logs to the fire - perhaps to about 150°C or so, just to kill any harmful spores. If it were raining during your/my stay, I would have also made a "tent within the house" by hanging a plastic tarpaulin over the bed, just to stay dry. Nothing elaborate in either case, but something to keep me safe and dry. Thanks for the video. Jon

    I really wish I could get away on a camping trip. Looks like it's really recharging your batteries and that sounds nice. Love the camping videos.
