Overcast - 2 Nights Alone in Dark Forest in Hail, Rain, Wind - Bushcraft Trip - Wild Camping 

Bushcraft trip into deep dark woods for a 3 day bushcraft trip. The weather was really at it. Wind, rain, hail and freezing temperatures at night. There is a special beauty when the sky is overcast and the forests become dark in this weather. The wet green colours become deep and they almost seem to glow. Some find it depressing or even scary. I find that the campfire really comes to life on these days, cheering everything around it, darkness and light contrasting eachother. I brought Maia along on this trip, but I don't think she enjoyed it that much. It was always windy, cold and wet so she just stayed close to the fire all the time wrapped in a wool blanket while I got on with carving, cooking and painting. We kept the fire going all nights and the extra body heat was great. The painting took 2 sessions of 4 hours to complete on the second and last day, but I condensed the process in the video to one session. We went through 6 bacon and cheese wrapped hot dogs while I was painting. I had 4 Maia had 2. I think that was her favourite part of the trip. The Birch wood burl took many hours to hollow out but most of it was done on the dark hours. Handy oil lamp, campfire, decadent hotdogs and warm soup kept us lit and warm. Thanks for watching - Ric
