BUGOUT BASE CAMP - SURVIVAL GEAR & BUSHCRAFT SOLO OVERNIGHT IN THE NORTH IDAHO WILDERNESS  

Snares and Fire Tinder are back in stock! defcon1survivalco.etsy.com Thank you for your support and patience!

My wife and I stayed a month in a very similar outfit while running a trap line. The solar generator is a God send. A couple words to the wise if staying long term in a camp like this. wool blankets, the inside of tent temp will drop drastically as you allow the wood fire to die in the stove , you and your bed will experience condensation in a canvas tent when that happens. Only 100% wool will keep you warm, do not sleep in the tent with a roaring tent stove, have a smoke alarm and CO. Detector as well. Use several wool blankets w a thick foam over air self inflatable mattress. We use Metal boxes to keep our food in, and do not eat in the tent. A bit of crumbs is all it takes for a hungry rodent to chew it's way into your tent. Cut all the firewood you need for the whole time you will be there, then cut more... and pile it. Then cover it good. Make sure to cut a lot of small stuff for kindling wood, and have tinder ready to go. For the whole time. Do that day one. You can get sick, or injured, in that case you won't be bucking logs, but you could feed a fire if everything is prepped material wise, then you don't freeze to death because of a mild illness you'd otherwise survive. Last but not least, have several methods of staying clean. Portable shower, shop towels, baby wipes, alcohol, soap... Long term camp in the cold means what worked today may not work when you're freezing.

11:23 If you truly care about the cutting edge on your prize knife, the ferro rod is very unkind to it. Better to use a 90 degree spine of the knife to strike the ferro. Looks like a nice setup. Thanks for sharing.........

Dude is just living his best life. Good for him. More people should do what they love and have fun. Life is way too short not to.

Thank God, your the first smart guy pre cutting the vegetables and preparing things at home before the trip .👍

The free man is he who does not fear to go to the end of his thought.

A lightweight tarp slightly larger than the floor dimensions of the tent makes for a great rain cover, and with approximately 12 inches of standoff between the tent and the tarp in the summer months, the tarp provides a great shelter from the sun and allows for the tent to stay cooler inside.

I love Melinda's! That said you're a braver man than me. I'd be booking it through the pines with pants down before first light. Fire in the hole!

I've really been enjoying your content since I discovered you about two months back. Thank you very much for your time.

Brother you made my day …possibly the best video ever made …as a long term proper….having a EDC n my truck and 20 pound emergency back pack also in my truck ….you have showed me some. New things ….well done….from Australia ….

That firestarter made me have a hankering for some yams for some reason.😂

I have a similar tent from White Duck Down. For those style tents it’s recommended to set the tent up. Then spray it with a hose/sprayer with water. Wetting it down will shrink the cotton fibers and naturally water proof it. I’ve hunt/ camped with ours and it weathered heavy rain for 2 days. Never leaked. For your stove pipe I use a small pipe collar slightly modified to closely fit the pipe to shed the water away from the opening in the tent. I love the video you made and will be buying your survival products soon .

I keep a couple large rat traps and some fishing yo-yos along with some cable snares. Grouse and ptarmigan are easy to catch with the rat traps and fishing is done without my presence. I have a few other small items to assist me in procuring sustenance without making loud popping noises.

I have the 3000 series pecron and it runs my lights, small refrigerator, and my nighttime fan for 4 days at camp. A fine piece of equipment. It’s lithium ion. I would prefer lifepo4, but what they don’t tell you is that you can’t charge lifepo4 below freezing. (Unless you have a built in battery heater). So after saying that, I’m glad I got this one. The price is right and you don’t need all the app knowledge. Very simple and productive. Solid piece, a little heavy but hey, it’s a battery.

Since you own the property have you ever thought about building a permanent dwelling like a dugout or small survival cabin? I'm planning to Bug-In, I live in Northern New Mexico 50 miles south of Albuquerque and 8 miles out of the nearest town but right on the Rio Grande, there's only 2 other cabins on my road and they are both preppers also so we have a plan and 99% of it is already put together.

Are some of those fire wall branches Birch? The most flammable bark available. TI's actually a great fire starter!

Joe, I like your camp setup. You seem like you thought out every angle except a water source. Steel wool will work for your fire starter as well as guitar pics (the nitrocellulose) ones. Please use the spine of your knife on the ferro rod....it'll save your sharpness. Pack some long tongs for your grilling to get your hands away from the heat. The saying goes as, "One is none, and Two is One,"

Hey, u need to apply water proof stuff with tent dry and let it dry. Just use tarp till can do.

Not as prepared as you thought...I keep my stuff either in my backpack or a bucket... i also have a water tight toat for my generator as well as a 120 watt panel... cables for light/ usb, phones music and laptop...other stuff i wont put on here...

Great video, great camp.

next step up from where I am at it is from surviving to thriving 👍

Ive found thoes small stoves are worthless in 35 to 40 degree rainy weather if you want to warm up and dry out, go larger with the stoves in warmer weather. Because being hypothermic really sucks,and wet down sleeping bags really suck too

Love this video, I never hv seen a snare set up. I been wanting to try this . Just a suggestion- try rolling a pinch of the dough between ur hands ,flatten between ur hands and toss back and forth between ur hands , takes practice but it will be perfect and even flat fry bread . I never tried the sour dough ,I sure will after this video. Tortillas every day tho.

Snares are sold out my friend. Will there be more coming?..Thank you ..great video sir

Dude, this was a great video!! I'm definitely going to be picking up some snares and fire starters! I think snares are a very important piece of gear to have in a bugout bag! Ima try to trap some rabbits by my house with them so I can learn how to trap with them! Take care, bro!!

Tensioner

Great content, but man I cringe watching you use the blade of the knife on the ferro rod

I added big rat traps to all my bags

Where did you get that awesome tent stove?

Awesome vid - love your content

I prefer Birchbark t's natural & fee abd Alwas works :)

👍👍

Great video and enjoyed…. Could I ask if you have details on your plate you had your food on? TIA 👍

the Earth spins wobbles and hurdles. 5 different ways through space and the stars circle perfectly above us?? How is this possible. I know we are in a enclosed system and the stars circle above us in the firmament that God placed.

have you ever considered advertising a few products in your videos? 🙄

Would a trailer not be better then a sled ?

How many items did you receive free? When you call out the names of products, makes me wonder if the product is really good or your told to say it.

...what region of north idaho ya in...Im over by the Pack River...thnx for the vid

Any plans to ship your products to Canada? Would love to pick up the snares and fire starter.

Name of your camo coat please

What brand / model of camo backpack is that?

It's Idaho. You'll be bugging out from your wife if anything.

Why you pulling a sled get some wheels

Why do you strike your ferro rod with the cutting edge of your knife? Not supposed to do that. The videos that I watch, they always use the back of the knife. What you are doing dulls the blade edge.

1st view is this guy trying to teach 3 grad a how to camp im 65 and this ridiculous

Is this an unboxing video, a promotional video or what here? I lost it at the snare part. Take it from an actual trapper: do NOT go out setting these things until you know how to avoid deer and dogs 🤦🏻‍♂️. You’re using giant cable, with no breakaway, no duck stick, setting on an -everything trail-. Just about the time I thought that was the dumbest thing I’d see, we see you cooking in the camp you’re sleeping in. This is the poorest advice on the internet. For anyone who’s not glamping in Los Angeles Idaho like this guy, you better think about food smells. This type of shit on RU-vid is going to get someone killed. Either you don’t care, or don’t know any better.

Small game snares will be back in stock within the week! I’ll keep you all updated as soon as they become available again! Thank you for your support and patience! - Joe

Man! Forgot the coffee? Somebody would be going to get it if I was there.

Oh man. Watching ypu ruin your blade on that ferro rod was hard to watch

It's always good to see someone doing what they enjoy. I went to the extreme with my bug out base camp. I sold the home in Texas, moved to the Alaskan interior and made by base camp my permanent home.

Blue white cap? Would think with the latest news this week everyone should be in camo head to toe. This is not grampas war anymore, we are on the doorstep of Armageddon.

good setup .. I am working on off-road trailer that I can affix my medium otter sled to when I don't have snow.

Love the video. My thought on it is that in the event of a bugout you can't really have a fire. Those who might want to find you so that they can take what resources you have can smell your fire a mile away. Also you probably don't want to sleep in a tent or anywhere in plain sight. If someone does come to take your stuff they will probably choose to attack the camp while you sleep. So, sure, put up a tent, give them that target. But sleep off the trail, on the ground where you are unlikely to be seen and you can see your camp and the area around it.

You forgot the Coffee??? We can’t be friends. Sorry…. lol great camp set up and video. Thanks for sharing. 👍

good thing todays survivalist need 7 thousands dollars gear and pre made home dinners lmfao

Nothing seemed out of place except the washing machine in the bar.

Your gonna need a bigger tarp...

If you can own the land there's a good place to put a bug out defensive spot. If you don't know or own the place, you can be chased off or shot if you try to occupy somebody else's land... No need to take a chance. As a thought experiment I have concocted a place to bug out to which you own and which has real defensive dimensions. We have to be real and realize that there's no need to bug out into places where other people will be. Somebody's always gonna be stronger than you in one way or another. I model my ideal defensive position around the USA Vietnam era firebase. Although in one big film a firebase is totally overrun that would not ordinarily happen because a good base has claymore placed outward on foot tripwires, ohh kinds of booby traps. And that line of defense is way out beyond your personal perimeter. Usually the kids will reset new claymores for you and you don't risk an able bodied defender.. It will take at least four people to keep one able bodied shooter in action. cooking and feeding them is a big deal if you want to keep your corner defense active. Very careful support staff that can cook almost anything and bine wounds would be an ideal 6 to 1 caretaker to shooter. don't give a small child a portable radio. A well defended prepper firebase still has to think ahead about a dozen injured women who show up with crying babies asking for your shelter. I hope your catastrophe is not as bad as an EMP losing all electricity. Weather reports tell you what's coming otherwise. If you live in a condo or around lots of other people your only chance is to bug out to a very close by military base. Go early and try to talk your way in.

Great video. Got a new subscriber! Going to be doing more outdoor content on my channel soon. Keep up the good content brother stay blessed.

Great stuff man. I have 14 acres hidden out in the mtns of central idaho. Hope to be home soon. Well done 👍.

Thank you for creating the content. Great video. Like your gear reviews and actually testing in the field. Your homemade products look awesome. Could you do a video of you testing your tactical loadout in the field.

🎉great video! With having your own property like that, you ought to consider building a small shack to store some gear, etc, maybe even a cabin from one of those Amish storage shelters or copy it. Corporals Corner built a nice cabin like that that ge stages some of his videos in. Also he has like a tarp shelter on a wooden frame etc... possibilites are endless. Would make a great "build" video

Cool video but, I cringed when you used that blade to strike your fire steel. Take every knife to the bench grinder and ice skate sharpen a small spot on the spine. Works great and it won't ruin your expensive tools you need to stay sharp. Cool video this is my first view. Subscribed.

I’m from CDA you gotta be pretty close to me bro!

I enjoy watching your videos.. I love the outdoors but i also live in west virginia so thats about all there is to do here..

Any waterproofing spray materials going to take at least 24 hours to properly dry always keep an OD green tarp in your gear

Fire tinder ....cotton balls dipped in petroleum jelly wha lah

Big 👍🏻. I used Thompsons water seal on my tent. It worked 👍🏻

Just found your channel. Had to subscribe to you. How much does the tent weigh. Awesome video my friend

Philadelphia checking in. I agree 100% about the comment on the show Alone. Every contestant seems to struggle with snairing small game. That is a huge part of survival! Even this man from the city knows that. I enjoy your content. Keep it up.

I love the video and content but this is in no way bugout. Great content though.

Cover the tent with another tarp. It works well.

Awesome video, I have learned a lot from this campsite setup! just a quick question, is this type of camping considered car camping?

Once I start making some play around with money I plan to follow in your footsteps man

I like lt wright knives even though i dont own one. Thinking of getting one

we need to work as a society a bugout one cause people are going to target us and we need to defend

How in the world did you forget to bring the coffee?!?! That is the number one, most important, supply that absolutely must be brought when camping!!! I wouldn't have survived, so I have to at least give it to you for that. 😂😂 I mean I would have absolutely parished if I woke up and realized I didn't bring any coffee! 😂😂

Nice tent But your ground tarp is too small for the tent

Glad you shared the variety of things you have! I saw some stuff I'll be adding to my supplies! Thanks!

Ya know, i think i have the same jacket in my bag haha

I think you forgot the kitchen sink!

Really enjoyed watching this video. New fan. From West Virginia

Greetings from Couer D Alene! Glad I found your channel. God bless.

Exact tent I was thinking about buying, this is very helpful thanks.😊

Muito bomm, aqui no Brasil nem existe esses equipamentos, e os que existe, custam muito caro, adaptamos por aqui

👍👍👍

It's true,this was definitely luxury camping 😀👍 good luck!

Say hi to bigfoot

One thing I highly recommend is a granfors bruk axe

Great video! Love that set up!

Substantial tent!

I'm very impressed and love your content. keep it up!

God I love your videos

Thanks for Sharing

I did enjoy the video, first time viewer.

Thank you for great content. I am new to the channel and aspiring to start my own. I appreciate your time and effort.

Esbit stove in a tent? The tablets give off poisonous fumes when burned. ( Hydrogen Cyanide)

Hell yeah

those white balls flying in the air are spirit orbs

Just found your channel, my kind of living 👍
