Bushcraft Camp - Solo Overnight in the Super Shelter, Axe, Campfire, Lean to Shelter

- I head to the Bushcraft Camp for a solo overnight in the super shelter. After months of shelter building and camp updates, it has been nice to finally spend a night alone in the forest. I slept on the raised bed in the Giant Lean-to shelter, which I use as the primary shelter for the camp now. The secondary moss shelter will still get use in the future. The Hunting Tower and ladder are both still standing strong, and the new fire pit with air tunnel is working so well! I cook up some food on the grill, test out my new hand-forged axe, as well as attempt another primitive bow drill this time with soft wood. The woods were so peaceful at this time of year, and I am looking forward to bringing my Dog Jaxx along with me to the camp. With the tarp roof now raised, it has allowed much better air flow and the smoke flows right out of the camp. Since extending the perimeter walls of the camp there is much more room inside. Doing a solo overnight at the Bushcraft Camp helped me to spend more time developing some Bushcraft and Survival skills in the wilderness. Thanks for joining me on the adventure! - Mike

Great to spend the night alone at The Bushcraft Camp - Even better was getting to use my new hatchet that I forged with Alec! Had a great time in the woods. Hope you guys enjoy the video - Mike
TA Outdoors those tree holes here in portugal usually are made by hares, not sure if there are any there but could be!
It could be rabbits or wild hogs. Hogs and deer do that in America
Mike the holes dug around the trees look like badger diggings to me mate.

Mike thanks for recommending "The Name of the Wind", in a previous episode.
I had given up on modern fantasy years ago. Growing ever tired of the excess violence, and influence of Martin in current works.
Rothfuss has crafted one of the best fantasy books of all time. I couldn't put it down.
Thanks again. I'm off to find book 2.
Thanks for the shout out mate - cheers! Enjoy ALL of the TA videos. You & your dad are natural born teachers!!!
Hi Mike.I live in Canada and I am a 53 year old Woman who loves watching all of your videos.You are an inspiration to all of our young children to get outdoors and experience everything it has to offer.Keep up the great work.
Have you ever thought about building a rain collection system either at the bushcraft camp or the pallet wood camp? Possibly utilizing a natural filter?
RobBob7689 that is a really good idea
Agreed that is needed at the cabin
may not be legally permitted in their area
Ana Hudon How is it even possible to make water collecting illegal? I mean, it doesn't make any sense
God only knows you'd need to ask the government. I just know it's illegal to collect rain water here in Oklahoma so that's what made me think it may not be legally permitted there.
I'm a woman who can really appreciate you explaining things, cooking, showing us your tools, which are awesome by the way, thank you for making things so interesting - I am 67, and learning all this makes me feel somehow more capable, just in case....
"That's cooked!.... I hope." Me every day i enter a kitchen.
Thank you , I really get great motivation from you .
Very happy that I got a mention in Q&A .
Just letting you know that I really enjoy your channel, Mike! I work nights here in the U.S. and it gives me alot to look forward to when I get home from work to make a little something to eat and watch your videos. Especially your overnighters in the shelters you've built. Thank you for your dedication to the things that make the outdoors so enjoyable! You rock buddy!
Cheers Danny!
Love your channel, I've been interested in off the grid living/ camping and survivalist training for about 10 years now and I've taught myself allot of things by watching CZcams videos like this as well as going into the woods and trying it out myself. Thanks for your entertaining videos with your dad! I just lost my mom last month and she was really into all this stuff too. It makes me feel line she's still watching with me when I see you having fun with your dad! God bless you both be safe and keep up the good work!
Nice to see the hatchet go from solid block to use in the field! Thanks !
You guys are way too much fun to be with! Thanx for that... 😘
Hey I just wanted you to say pls do carry on these videos as I watch it to the end and I am sure lots of other people do too so pls don’t stop the brilliant videos thanks for the video
Humble! Nice i love you and your Dad , thanks for the video !
If the sound is out, skip forward a little or back and that will sort it out. It's been happening to me also :)
that would be google ads lagging the synchronization of the sound track ... just pause wait for about 10 seconds and then resume ... another option is install an adblocker to drop googles ads and limit it's spam
I used a beer pouch in Thailand and I brought it home with me, the idea behind it is it stops the beer getting warm from the inside of your hand and also keep the cold from the can freezing the arse off your hand 👍
Wood lice? So that's the proper name. We always called them rolley polleys ;)
We used to call them Grannys for some reason LOL
Pill bugs is another name I've heard for them.
Rolley polleys are fun 🤣
I’ve always called them slatter bugs thought that was there actual name 😂😂😂😂🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
Its fun i remember watching your post when it first came out and here we are 2 yrs later and i can rewatch it like it was new. And u showed your higen kit and the first thing u pulled out was your hand sanitizer now 2 yrs later it's one of the most sort out thing stay sade
The little tips are much appreciated!
Gotta say one of the coolest camps I've seen on youtube
Excellent video.. Always watch all the way through to the end. Nice to hear stories about you and your dad. My first night in my little cabin, there was bumping all around the walls of the cabin, I looked up at the East window and a shadowy figure rose up and began peeping in the window.. rotten horses! So I got up to shoo him away.. another horse had his nose buried in the fabric bag I had left on the porch.. and the third horse had gotten into the back of the truck and had the furniture strapping out and flinging it around. So I grabbed the push broom and chased them all away during the Snow Moon! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
If you are worried about demonisation, I recommend patreon. Happy to support the channels like yours that I enjoy.
Finally get to see the hatchet in USE YES
With respect to the previous comment about putting oil on your self made mallet. To protect the wood, brush on a couple of layers of boiled linseed oil. It can be bought already boiled and ready to apply. That's probably what the other viewer was referring to.
Here in norway we call those wood lice for "coffee trolls" 😁
Love the idea of just being able tol reach into a woodpile and not have to worry about rattlesnakes. Lol
Great axe!!!
Do you have wild pigs? They will dig around trees looking for acorns and fungi.
Exactly what I was thinking. The furrowing looks like a wild hog. I hope not as they are destructive buggers not to mention they breed like rabbits.
That was my first thought
They have wild boars in the uk. They love to dig for rhizomes, roots, tubers and bulbs and other things.
Bring a bow and he'll be able to make bacon on site.
Bow hunting boars is a really stupid idea.
You probably just make them angry, and angry boars are very dangerous.
I discovered your channel a few days ago. Very therapeutic after a day in the office. Thumbs up.
I agree! Very relaxing. His dad is always fun to watch when they're doing videos together.
You have a badger sett nearby...and they do dig for food: worms, grubs, small burrowing rodents. Badgers' Rest has never looked better than it does from the angle of your wood store and gate! Wish we could purchase apple-pork sausage like that in the USA! I suppose I could just make some...as I do make other sausages. The ax handle uses a Japanese charring technique to harden and to preserve wood against moisture, as well as making your particular ax look wonderful. Check out Shawn James and his treatment of wood sheathing for his cabin videos.) Finally, the bow drill fire: my least likely source of fire! Perhaps you could have roughed up the birch bark base layer. I noticed earlier in the video that the birch bark you harvested was light on oil.
Always a pleasure. Love the bird's song.
That hatchet is awesome
Thanks Mike! I like your hatchet...I'm sure you are proud of it...as well you should be.
A hour of greatness thanks for the entertainment
hope you enjoy Rob!
the burnt outside is the best of outdoor cooking over an open fire.
Really like the look of the axe in use, nice to see the product UK collabs in use! Love the outdoor fire ;)
The axe looks nice but the handle looks like plastic.
Привет я русский но это мне не мешает смотреть ваш канал я честно говоря очень впечатлён вашими видео на русскоязычном CZcams я пока что не встречал таких же талантливых как и вы хороши ваши ролики ребята старитесь в том же духе удачи вам с каналом «И пусть хорошие люди - смотрят хорошие видео» спасибо вам ещё раз!)
Nice to see the working debut of Harry the Hatchet (little nod to Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrels "the Governor"). Looks like such a little brute! Great video again Mike!
Sean Lewis in that case his knife should be borris the blade
"It's hot"......"bugga"
Best line so far
17.05 ???
"Killing a bird with 2 stones " ???
Isn't that meant to be " Killing 2 birds with one stone " lol
Only teasing Mike 😉😉😉 love the vids
you spotted that as well.....
Lol I heard it to and I was telling my wife let me scroll in the comment section to see if anybody had said anything about that; comment section never disappoints lol. By the way nice vid mike and love your videos.
Really like the 13 Guns , nice Axe .Looking forward to you and Haze outdoors meeting up.
I don’t like bugs... (Software Developer)
Trigonix ZeNW lol lol
Not bugs, dude...undocumented features! (Also in software)
Lol lol 😆 I
I love the tenderness with which you handled the hatched you and Alec made. It's beautiful, and it's clear you treasure the fruit of your labor. :)
No thanks Turkish, im sweet enough.... (I caught that Snatch reference Mike)
Спасибо за обзор топора Вашего производства. Очень интересная концепция! И по внешнему виду приятен для глаз.
Now thats a nice hatchet
I watched the vid of you two forging this hatchet and quite enjoyed it. Now it's good to see how useful it is.
That holes in the ground around the trees are from the wild pig i think
I Enjoy all your camping Videos and the ones you both teach me a lot Thank you you so much 😇
The base of the tree digging is by a badger looking for worms and grubs ;) Ask an old hunter
and you get an answer...
You sounded just like four dad when you were prepping the bangers. Lol.
Always top stuff fella!!
Nice idea for having a pouch for all your kitchen type stuff. I might have to steal that idea lol
Have you named the hatchet yet?, if not I'd like to make a suggestion to call it "THE BLACK STEELER".
Still watching the video but I just have to say I'm so jealous about that hatchet!! So cool!
been listening to that book you suggested, the name of the wind, what a brilliant book, and the amount of voices the narrator does is beyond talent, just reminded to comment on the book after you did that posh British accent, sounded almost like ambrose, thanks for suggesting the book mike, might I add, it does not help me sleep lol, too good of a book to sleep too
Haha such a good book! And narrator
would make a good film too, surprised they have not knuckled down on that thought, almost finished the book, on chapter 78 already, you finished it yet mike?
Yup! and finished the second book too... It was an addictive series. Going to be a long wait for the 3rd book sadly...
the second book is called? yes truly addictive
christopher williams
The wise mans fear
thank you for this video, It's always a pleasure to wind down from a long day with one of your vids
Can’t watch this now but I will later!
Will K ok??
Haha little Pat Dickerson accent in there, nice!
Is it out of sync for anyone else ?
Give it an hour as it is still rendering on youtube. Try refreshing and letting the video buffer first
It’s ok now Mike , it was just the first minute ish , I closed CZcams down and reloaded and it’s working fine now the hatchet is cool 😎
Cool glad it sorted itself out. The hatchet rocks man! Enjoy the video
another great video . I want to thank you for all the tips as well as video's and the product reviews . Have learned a lot and starting to use it with safety always in mind THANKSSSS!!!!
"killing a bird with two stones" :) that's new one on me - looked like a beautiful hatchet when you made it, seeing it in action, WOW! well done Mike and Alec
Always nice to have a Great new toy ! That’s Awesome !! Great job of making it ! Love it !
The best burgers I ever had were when I was seven. My mom, dad, sister and I were clearing our plot of land to build our house and we were starving. Mom had a burn barrel going and she put an old fridge grate over it and cooked hamburgers for us... over burning poison ivy lol. She said in retrospect that probably wasn't a good idea....but they were soooooooo good. Either that or we were so hungry that we didn't care hehe.
Brilliant AXE....well done!
haha that hatchet is basically a sharpened wedge on a wooden handle. Awesome hatchet!
that is THE most beautiful hatchet.
Great wee vid Mike 🤙🏻🤙🏻👍👍👍👌👌
Ooo shiny new axe
*I Love Your New Axe!* I love stuff that’s one of a kind that I made myself that’s the best kind of equipment or jewelry or anything to own! I made my own fall/winter crocheted blanket!
It's really cool to see the hatchet you made in action. Well done!
Second comment, my apologies, but I forgot to suggest as far as your headlamp batteries issue, what I found so handy is to get a battery holder or case that normally gets stashed inside your kit somewhere, and attach a bit of webbing strap, or a clip of some type to the back and mount it to your headlight strap. You can usually carry two sets of batteries for a light and it keeps them close at hand should one set die, or you remove batteries from your headlamp when not using them. Nice thing is many headlamps have a separate battery compartment so it doesn't look unusual.
100% prefer this video type over the ones where you do not talk. Pleas do this more often
Nice hatchet! I like how it's 'ChardBlack' :) Looking forward to the next instalment.
Woop woop totally awsome overnighter at the best camp woohooo thx mike. I like all the things but bushcraft is my fav 😊
Mike- Those beer 'covers' are insulation. If you leave them on while drinking, the beer warms more slowly. :)
8 degrees tonight nice and toasty warm.
your great mate ive been a woodsman and ranger for 40 years and your videos are so entertaining and educational , well done
That must be an Alex Steele made axe head and handle.. he is so far the best I have seen
Yep sure is! He is awesome
your new hatchet is a great addition to your gear, that thing can get it done!!
I'm sure someone has beat me to it but just in case. I believe you were refering to "boiled linseed oil" to protect your bowling pin. You don't boil it, its just called "boiled linseed oil" They say when you get a new axe handle (untreated) you rub it on, wait, then rub it off. You do that every day for a week, once a week for a month, then once a month for a year, then once per year. Honestly, I'd just do the bowling pin one or two times. unless you're trying to save it for your grandchildren. Love your videos!
I make walking sticks from time to time. I use old used motor oil. Pour oil on a rag and wipe it on the stick. Then draw the stick thru the open flame of your camp fire. The heat causes the oil to soak into the wood and makes it much more water resistant.
I could spend lots of weekends in that camp! It's amazing!
OMG ... that feather sticks ... and I love the handle ... good job for you and Alec
I can honestly say that I have never watched a CZcams video even near a hour , but I have now and it was nice. You can tell you have a passion for this, Keep it up!
Cheers Braiden !
TA Outdoors No problem
RIP Super Shelter. You are missed
This is a great video, i love you`re bushcamp.
we in the US call that dug a rolly pollie but it is part of the woodlice family
Your accents are good and funny...challenge!...do the accent if where the beer is from!...thanks for the vid again...open, honest,warm,homely, dedicated,totally interesting and entertaining...thank you, may you go from strength to strength...you are not alone...there are thousands with you...
Wow man that hatchet is priceless
Great all in one vid, Mike... that hatchet is epic!!
Thanks for the video Mike
Looks like the perfect play house for a wild cat
Your bushcraft/camping videos have became my favourite... don’t tell joe robinet 🌚
Those sausages weren't burned. They had character!
Thanks, Mike, for sharing your gear with us. Many, who want to learn bushcraft techniques, appreciate the heads-up on what works from an experienced bushcrafter, like yourself. My take-away from this video was the importance of a good, small axe....oops,.hachet. It is an impressive tool you've added to your kit. The fact you made it with Alec makes it so special......just like you mentioned. The 'burned' handle is nothing less than AWESOME!!! Thanks for all your hard work in bringing these informative videos to us.
Man that hatchet is badass I love that hatchet I liked it a little bit better before it was burned all the way where it kind of showed the grain that look cool too love your show
That hatchet looks awesome! Really cool to be able to say that you had a hand in making it. Great video.
Great video. Thx for sharing
The accent during the sausage bit had me rolling 😂 great video man.
Yours looks like a great area to practice bushcraft
Hi Mike your custom made hatchet is so coooool!
Sorry about keep commenting on this but as I'm watching I'm commenting my gosh I've learned so much you really do things in a very smart way very very informative thank you so much I would like to see a lot more of your videos
