  • When I was a kid I always dreamed of living a life similar to this. Travelling by foot from town to town, and sleeping out along the way.
    I decided to make a short video depicting how I imagine that lifestyle would look.
    I set out to the woods with a minimal kit and had a very pleasant camping experience.
    If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below.
    As always, thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy.

    I really enjoyed your video, reminds me of my boyhood, Me and sometimes som of my friends would camp out over night near a river to our farm and do just what you are doing, bring our sleeping bags, some food and a knife and hatchet, We would make a "teepee" out of willow branches and cook our meal over a camp fire. The river was near us and we would catch fish for our meal. Ah those were wonderful carefree days ! Thanks for the memories

    Praise our Father. It is so awe inspiring to see all that He has given us. We are raised to believe in this system of worldly consumption, when in truth this is the jewel of our life; alone to pray, appreciate , and live simply.I have lived Years this way, and I am only home when I unplug and return to it to heal and contemplate how blessed we are, and how thankful our hearts should be. This is a living prayer of thanks...at least to me.Thank you for sharing your perfect spot in our home.

    Hello from Oklahoma! Great video! Love the simplicity of it all. Reminds me of when I was a young man. It was hotdogs or spam back then, usually with a can of beans. I'd use an old can with wire around it to boil water. In the morning, pbj we packed in or wait till we got home. Our bicycles were our mode of transport to the river. That was in Nebraska. Here in Oklahoma 40 years later, I would be afraid to try this. By the time you hiked to the river bank you would be covered by chiggers and ticks. Not to mention the god awful heat! Thanks for jarring this old mans memory to some good times! God Bless!

    I've been exploring other Channels similar to your own. There is a lot of great content in many different channels, and I've learned things here and there from them all. However, non are quite as refreshing as yours. For me, the lack of dialog in some of your trip videos brings such a greater sense of peace with where you are and what you do. I find that I keep coming back for more of the videos you post. Keep it up!

    Well done. It would make a person think you are homeless and just bumming around. Even if they bothered to notice the electronics you use.

    A great demonstration of how to much with a little. No special, high tech gear here. Yet, the simple kit, made of some commonly available items, with a little ingenuity made for an excellent experience in the woods. Not only surviving, but thriving in nature. I know that I will be rethinking my gear and looking to do a similar trip very soon. Thank you for sharing your adventure. - Tennessee Smoky

    You're doing what I bet most of us that like camping wish we could still do. I solo camped by the river near the woods on a moonless night. Peaceful, until the coyotes started getting close. Once it becomes total darkness, there's no hiking out. It's not for everyone. Nothing like a nice campfire to keep you company.
    Keep doing what you're doing, I'll be watching. I can see how much you enjoy doing this. I miss it myself. Looking forward to another one of your adventures.

    So it was my last year in school, I'd watch movie like Jeremiah Johnson and get books on hiking camping to prepare myself to live in the woods ( back in 1977 )
    Thank GOD that didn't happen
    But now and then I still think about those days ! Happy trails to you !
