Bushcraft Instructionals; Camping Overnight. 

I am a 74 year old disabled former Southern Baptist Pastor/Missionary whose camping days are over because the woods are not wheelchair accessible but my love for the out of doors is still in my heart. I can still enjoy God's nature through your videos. Thank you.

Just did my first bushcraft tarp overnight. Want to thank you for your videos, they were a big help.

No stick is too big for Scout.

Hey Joe ! After watching your ,videos , I had to give your tarp method a try in the rain . So as the storm was approaching , in my back yard [in Ojai ca.) I built tarp shelter that you would approve of ! I use my bass pro shops Cott. To be off the ground . That night THE temp. Dropped to 42' f. With a good half inch an hour down pour though the night ! My wool blanket and 30 degree so. Cal. Sleeping bag kept me warm all night !!! My girl friend thought I was crazy !!! But now I know I can build the same shelter , stay dry and warm any where in the woods !!! Plus it's fun ! Thank you again Joe for sharing all your tricks of the out doors !!! Bless you brother l!l 👍👍👍🎥🍔

Love your dog. We had German Shepherds for over 30 years. Smartest dogs ever. Enjoy your contributions here.

Just watched one of your older videos, great video. One thing I thought of your passing of Scout is us the viewers may have memories, pictures and a few short videos. But you have amazing videos of his life with you and your family and how fulfilled and happy he was. Viewers can see that, thanks Joe.

Your four legged companion is totally cool! I can tell you two have a great relationship and that is always good to see. You are making some really good videos. Thank you!

You're amazing with that Taut-line Hitch man... I've never seen it tied so quick!

Great job on the videos Joe! Keep up the good work! Your love for the outdoors and your knowledge of bush craft is inspiring!

I love Scout, every bit of wood you touch is an excitement for him.

Ol’ Joe. Never gets old. I wonder how tripper and scout would have gotten on...

What you said about giardia is SPOT ON! Two years ago I rode my Harley across the states from Florida to Vancouver, BC. On the way back I got very sick. I almost had to fly home and ship the bike. There is nothing fun about constant diarrhea, nausea, fever, stomach cramps, etc. while you are trying to ride a Harley 8 to 10 hours a day. Yeah it sucked. I'm a very clean person and have no idea where I picked it up at because the incubation period can be up to three weeks. During that time I camped out in several different states, so it's tough to say where I got it. Anyway, bottom line is that I know that I did not drink any contaminated water because I drank only bottled water/soda/beer/etc. the entire trip. I was sick for a total of two months and lost 18 lbs during that time. Giardia is NOTHING to play with. Still, that being said, I grew up drinking out of every creek and river in Alaska and never had a problem. So it's my opinion that human encroachment in wild lands is probably to blame for the increased frequency. Just my opinion.

You just love that dog. What a beaut. He is so attentive to you good training job. It pays to do it right. A faithful companion. Mine was 16 years when I had her put sleep when another dog bit her. Such sadness ,that dog was a hero in lives. May you have many happy years with him. Just loved this video...continue the good work with nature, you are a good teacher.

I've been watching these videos for a year now, and I finally figured out what he means by "two on the inside and one on the outside".

Feeling the spirit of the woods yet again after watching your video.

So many good little tutorials again from you, really good stuff. You lucked out on the no-rain on this one after all, by the looks of it. Scout.....just needs a stick or 12 and a creek and he is good always!! Nice stuff, good long video. I often pull up your longer videos many times now when I want something good to watch that is long and gets me through dinner. TY Joe.

Learning learning learning!! Thank you so much, Joe, you make it easy and fun, but seriously safe and useful.

always loving the safety instructions , its very wise , and some personal talks is awesome makes me feel am really watching someone not just a weatherman

Thank you. I learned more from this video then all the videos I watched over a year.

I appreciate the extra-long video showing more details than anyone can fit in a mere 10 min vid. Good to see how it all goes together.

How did you train your dog? He is amazing!!!! I love watching your videos for many reasons but Scout always makes me smile...give him a treat from me!!!

Great dog! Mans best friend! Good vids man! Takes me back when I used to camp.

Thank you for tying the Taut-Line correctly! man, so many tie it wrong in these videos! LOL Great video Thanks!

As always... thank you for taking us with you and sharing your knowledge. Peace !

Scout for size comparison. The fire reflector looked so tiny lol. What a good boy!! And SOOOO funny trying to take a tree, basically, out of the stream, for his play stick. You and TA Outdoors are my favorite youtubers

I'm just getting started and I saw your newer stuff and then realized you had very informational older content. These old videos still get active use all these years later :)

I like your videos very much and I always learn something new and useful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Just stumbled upon this channel and what a GREAT bushcraft video. I love the long adventure clips and how you go into detail on everything right down to crucial knots that many skip explaining. Hope to see more like this! Fantastic work.

great vid Joe. Thanks for taking us along...See you on the next one...Take care...Rod

Thank you so much for your instruction! I've never been camping, but I didn't want to glam-camp first time either. I appreciate the pro tips.

Great video! Lots of info. Fun adventure. Keep em coming please!

Thank you for the video again. I certainly picked up a few good tips. Can't wait for the next one, as always!

That knot is perfect! I learned it in the Boy Scouts awhile back...

just love it how Scout walks randomly through the scenes!

love the vid found you yesterday and spent hours watching them

That puppy tho! Great video!

Thanks, Joe. Your videos have reawakened my love of the outdoors, plus you've taught me a lot of interesting things to try. Particularly the Canadian jam knot, and using fire reflectors. Genius!

these old videos are great ❤️

One of Joe's first really great videos! Good dog Scout!

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to record your outing. All of the tips and tricks are a nice touch.

Superb instructions; easy to follow- thanks Joe.

Love Scout! He's such an amazing dog,and so beautiful! Love those ears!

Super video amigo. Really covered a lot of stuff. Thanks for taking us along.

Have fun in Killarney brother. I was there on the La Cloche trail last weekend, hopefully you get better weather than we did. Thanks for all the content, its appreciated.

Great advice regarding toilet paper: "It helps a lot. If you haven't tried it, try it." Great video, Joe!

Great video Joe. Love your dog to.

Drinking game: Every time Joe tells Scout to get out of the way lol

Seriously. This is one of the best bushcraft educational videos I've seen. So much good information in one place. Thanks bud!

Great video! Love your channel because you're straight to the point, no bullshit!

Nice video again ! The place looks so different in the spring than in the fall time ! Keep up the good work !

Great video and a great outing! Thanks for sharing some of your knowledge and tips! The wife and I are planning an overnighter next weekend in a WMA we scouted last week and can't wait to try some of the things we learned via your video. Thanks again for taking us along!

Hey Joe, just want to say thanx for all the hard work you put in to the channel. I didn't even know what bushcraft was before I started watching your videos. Your videos are very informative and entertaining. Even though we have never met in person you have became a role model to me. You've taught me more than you will ever know. , your friend across the river.

lol I love his sarcasm while telling everyone to use toilet paper haha

I know what you mean by the feeling of calm and peace you find in the woods. In the words of the great Ted Nugent: There I was back in the wild again. I felt right at home, where I be-long. I had the feeling, coming over me again. Just like it happened so many times be-fore. eh. The Spirit of the Woods is like an old good friend. Makes me feel warm and good in-side. From his song; Fred Bear.

Great video. Good to see someone getting out there with a minimal of stuff. I use basically the same fire lighting method but have never used a brace but will give it a go with my scouts. Your dog looks like the perfect companion. Have subscribed.

I agree with the plastic zip bags for gathering water. What i do is bring a large "grocery shopping bag" with straps, and several zip locks. I fill them all and zip close, bring them all back to camp in the grocery bag, hang that up in a tree. Quick access to one water bag at a time in camp. It all then packs away when empty "rolled up together" very easy.

Excellent video, well made looking forward to your next adventure, thanks for sharing cheers, Al.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to film it. I learned a few cool tricks from it.

You really know a lot about this kind of stuff. I'm just beginning but I love learning new things when it comes to the bushcraft world. I've been camping all my life but never really bushcraft style. Seems like a lot of fun! Great video!

It's cool for those that are using this as instruction but honestly I find it very entertaining and just relaxing Joe did teach me about running your tarp parallel with the Wind thank you for that sir

Always a great job on the videos love your shepherd,glad you ate feeling better

Amazing vid.. tons of knowledge tossed out.. the best kind of trip video. Well done

Scout is all about the stick

You are the person who has inspired me to start things like bushcraft and doing the things that you do

Joe your vids are awesome. Your knowledge is useful.

Had Sassafras tea a lot when I was a kid. We spent a lot of time in the woods back then.

Taught line hitch sure is a great knot. Looking to learn the truckers knot next.

Nice Work!! Very relaxing-very informative!!!

Hey, Joe, Enjoyed the vid, over here in the UK we call wild leek wild garlic, but the rest of what you say is exactly the same about getting out there and doing it. Love the dog, they always seem to upstage.

Great video!! Really good! Thanks

That dog is awesome!

Really enjoyed the video! A ton of useful info. However, my favorite part is Scout! I don't have a dog but it looks like Scout would be an ideal companion in the forest!.

I've seen almost all of your videos, and this is by far one of my personal best..very good stuff man! I myself enjoy the outdoors, but havent really gone out there to camp out due to my lack of outdoors skills..I've learned alot throughout your videos and im looking forward on going camping more often... thx again for these awesome vids. Hope to see more soon..peace!

Very well done. Enjoying your video's. Great content, you keep it all interesting. Thanks

New sub and I'm really loving your stuff! Very informative and entertaining ! Also Scout is awesome👍
