I'm amazed with every video you produce. You do so much one-handed and narrate throughout each presentation with useful and fun information. To top that, you're out in the middle of nowhere, and cooking delicious campsite cuisine. You're a Natural.
I loved your widowmaker comment at 4:00: "If a tree like that came down on you, you wouldn't know it; (you'd) wake up somewhere else". That's funny, but oh, so true! Hey, great "first snowfall of the season" adventure. Thank you, sir.
I had to move from forest house to city for family reasons. No forests here and unique videos like yours are so much more appreciated now. Just be careful, I had a friend who burned himself to death at night inside his sleeping bag, in outing like yours. Thank you and cheers om Europe
MW another fantastic hot tent overnight! Hearing that snow crunching under your footsteps got my heart racing. Always enjoy these tremendously. Take care out there brother and thanks for bring us along!
Now that's HOT tenting with that size stove in a Paratipi! You must have been approaching heat stroke. Great video, I'm chomping at the bit to get out especially since winter has arrived here, 6-8" of snow on the ground and its -17 C (1 F) outside as I type. I like the looks of the door on that stove, appears well designed.
It was crazy hot. I actually got down to wearing just my underwear, not even a shirt but left that bit out of the video. Even had to walk around basically naked to cool off. LOL!
Ha! so you couldn't see the bug out in the cold and decided to share your tent...good for you LOL. Always look forward to the hot tent videos, would so love one, maybe one day, good watch, look forward to the next. regards matt
I am fascinated by how you can drink coffee and then go right to bed. It sort of reminds me when I was a Sentry dog handler in Vietnam. We would be out on Post in the middle of the night and someone would come by with a coffee urn on the jeep and ask if we wanted some. We'd say no thanks, it keeps me awake (ha ha). But I was only 20 then. Got to be careful with drinking coffee too close to bedtime now...
try those energy drinks : monster red bull etc that screws up your night . Tried that while coming back from a long drive home after moose hunting one late evening...Voila tossed and turned all ...night
As usual great vid - thank you - and can I state right know that I do not understand why you don`t have more subs - this channel and content is great and I really enjoy your approach.
Kinda like hammock camping in summer. Once yea go there is no going back. Also a great northern bugout system. Have a very little parastove in my BOB during winter. Thanks for watching!
The hammock thing just never worked for me. I'm a side sleeper and I'm in pain for a couple days after a night in a hammock. But the stove looks great. I'll have to research tents that are set up for one.
"I'm not the world's biggest tree hugger" meanwhile his channel is Megawoodswalker and his videos focused on "leave no trace behind" hiking/camping/bushcrafting.
Great video. I did hear some gun fire at the end of your video. Most likely hunters. I didn't see you wearing any orange reflectors. Might want to include that in your gear. Keep the videos coming.
Check out 0.06 in the very start of the video. The hat is my hunter orange hat for just that purpose. I also have a vest which is worn if hiking during the morning or dusk. Thanks for watching!
Hey Mega! Just found your channel and I'm loving it! Any chance you could give me some details on the stove and tent setup? I've always wanted to try winter camping and that looks quite affordable. Thanks and keep up the great vids!
Good video as always. At the beginning you mentioned that you weren't fully determined to camp in one location versus another. We're you able to let your emergency contact know that you hadn't decided where you would be?
Yup via text message. I like when there is phone service in an area but then it becomes a distraction as start surfing the internet once camp is setup. It also another mouth to feed aka the phone eats power. Thanks for watching!
Want to go out hot tensing all day tomorrow through Sunday we're going to end up getting 3 to 9 in of snow ❄️ here in Clinton Iowa I'm going to go out into the woods in Illinois on the family timber Seattle goes there's like a hundred acres 😀
xjeepmanx FYI, if you add on to your lavvu like a foot or two it's like a new shelter. I sewed exter canvas to mine and you could fit 3 to 4 ppl inside. Good luck..
I've woken up screaming OH SH**!!! to the sounds of cracking and popping as a tree was about to fall over, and again as it slid down a hill colliding with several other trees, sounding like a bowling ally.
The lantern is a LR30, Headlamp is this. www.lumonite.com/en/lumonite_compass_r/ the camera was a Sony AS20 in camcorder shell. Often I leave the DSLR home as this has really good low light video IMHO.Thank for watching!
brother, you need to use a ground cloth, if you do not buy one.... get a canvas to fit and then have someone sew a tarp on the bottom of the canvas (not just the edges but across the entire canvas) when you lay down the ground cloth you lay it so you side flaps (called sod cloth) are under your ground cloth, sealing any drafts. make sure your ground cloth is a little larger them the base dimensions of your tent.trust me i have been CW reenacting for 34 years+ in rain, mud, snow, and heat. You will not regret it. image.sportsmansguide.com/adimgs/l/1/175423m13_ts.jpg
This is a totally different type of system. I intentionally don't use one for several reasons. First I have a more UL nylon ground cloth under my bed roll and a wide closed cell pad for sitting. Second canvas would be too heavy. Everything you see is ultra light weight silicon impregnated nylon. There is no canvas to sew anything onto. The stove is UL Titanium and packs down to the size of a lap top.. I also don't pack cots as shown in that sportsmansguide link for the same reason. I can walk into my shelter and not worry about messing up a floor. I can piss inside the shelter at night and not worry about it if necessary. The entire shelter and stove is 6 or so pounds. This isn't a reenacting type setup. I use this to hike long distances and when living out of my pack in winter. I do appreciate the advice just the same and thanks for watching!
