Camping with my Dog in a STORM in a Bark Shelter / Australian Bushcraft 

Mate that's the way to grow up! So much better then kids today sitting on an Ipad in front of a screen. We need to recpature that way of living I reckon!

@@TheBeardedBushranger We sure do mate .

Legend, thanks for watching

Slowly getting round to it. Have a few other big camps out in the high country first though.

She's a great little dog, full of energy. Yeah so looking into it, tin hit Australia big time in the 1850s when the gold rush took off.

I really appreciate that mate

Yup, she has come a long way already in the last month and is becoming my constant companion. Thanks the watching

Good idea with the bush resin

Thanks for watching. They are both great dogs and quirky in thier own ways

Cheers mate.

Thanks for watching Perspective Australia!

Nah your right mate. Should of had 2 sides with a steep pitch. I'll put tin sheets on it instead and it'll be much better

Shivered all night 😆 I've had enough rough nights out bush, then when I'm this close to home I decided this night didn't have to be one of them

Sounds great mate! I've enjoyed camping with the dogs.

Cheers mate.

haha yeah it's come a way for sure! beers delivered to your bark hut is the best way to camp.

Cheers herb

Yeah it's bingo. And your totally right, animals can pick that stuff up really well. Thanks for watching mate

Yeah it was great fun. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the beers 😆

Yeah mate for sure. I'll be adding a door to this and a tin roof soon. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching Glenn

No worries, I can do a video on that. Thanks for watching

Cheers mate, it just cracked over.

Cheers mate. The 1k subs came fast. I'll be pumping out lots of content this year, so thanks for watching

Yeah we got 70mm in total

Thanks for watching mate. Well I want something authentic to the time period and tin hit Australia on the 1850s. I'm in a valley there so should be fine with the lightning

Haha that's true mate. I lived in East Africa for 10 years and came back to my home town in Oz 2 years ago, so it's felt like every summer 😆

Yeah it's autumn now, but feels a bit like winter. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the tip mate. I might do that to add some tread to the boots

Luke, the vintage leather boots are a nice touch and complete the look. Within a year those boots will have great character. I have done some WW2 reenactments in similar boots for years now, those boots after a day's wear tend to bugger-up your feet especially the bridge. The steel heel brace tends to loosen up and get usually lost. In contrast, I found that I could walk for weeks in the Bushveld and the Kalahari Desert with a pair of South African pioneer leather footwear, the "Veldskoene" (field shoes) which I made. Great for hunting (walk and stalk) ,very silent. The only issue was that sand constantly ended up in the shoes. The trick is to wear them shoes without socks (would not recommend that for the boots). Was just wondering would you try your hand maybe in the future to make some replica Australian pioneer footwear?

@@swanieswanepoel7845 Yeah I would love to start investing more in old era clothing at this point. I love this boots and actually don't mind how stiff they feel. It's the traction (or lack of) on the bottom which is the real problem. But seems like there are DIY solutions to that. Those field shoes sound great that you made .. I'd love to get more into it, but I don't have any cobbling experience as of yet .. so I'm happy to invest in paying skilled crafstmen to make for me.

Will use the bark for a gunya shelter and make this a tin shack

Yeah if I was deep bush I'd do that too. Thanks for watching

Cheers mate. I reckon a few more layers on the roof and it should be right. So mine is a trail blazer which seems to be the only brand making new ones in Australia. You can get them at Aussie disposals. Otherwise you can get vintage ones sometimes. It took me a long time to work out how to get my new one to hold water well.. I might make a video on the tricks I used to do that if your keen

@@TheBeardedBushranger thanks for the info on where to get one mate yere a vid on how to use them would be great
