I hike to a remote area in the Appalachian Mountains and set up camp with a tarp and sleeping bags. The first day is calm and warm, but that changes quickly overnight.
I like how you just go with what you have and make do no fancy high dollar equipment just a will to go and have fun. My brothers and I started with just a sheet of plastic ( leftovers from covering the windows for winter ) and some old kitchen pans mom gave us. We sure had a lot of fun. I’m going to subscribe and see where this goes
So…. I was feeling skeptical when I saw the poly tarp fresh outta the bag pitched in a regular ole a-frame for a snowstorm. Then I got a little more skeptical when I saw the fire in the beginning. But then, you sealed up the back side of the tarp and whipped out that second tarp to seal up the other end. You ended up makin yourself a pretty sweet little camp there! Got that morning fire goin with some cheesy bread and coffee! Hell ya!! Kudos to you man!, for stickin it out. Take care dude! NQU
I like to improvise as I go haha gotta keep it interesting, but I had a feeling I'd need that second tarp.. but yeah it ended being a pretty sweet little shelter. And thanks!
Nice to be out in the snow. We had good snow only in March in NW CT last year. The rest of the he state did not get it. We loved the snow. Se had stoves in our canvas tents. 😊
Hey! I really enjoyed this video. Great content; great scenery; great host! Thank you for sharing! I'm going to subscribe just as soon as I finish this comment! I love camping and used to go a lot. I miss it tremendously. I had my dad's huge, thick canvas Army tent with metal poles. Boy, that thing was heavy to carry! I look forward to seeing you again Stay safe, well and warm!😊 🦋Janet English🐞
Love the videos man if you ever come down south to TN i can show you a southerners camping trip in the smokey mountains always good fun and great food out there
I'm glad you survived without freezing to death..I felt frozen just watching you. Weren't you worried about bears and the like coming by? I would be just terrified to be out there by myself-- but you know what you're doing. I guess that makes a huge difference- because I would be clueless and would need to be rescued 😂😂
Nice video. No nonsense camping with well thought out materials. My dad was in France during WWII. He said you could make a round cover for a square foxhole with a good tarp, LOL! He and I never went camping, he said he did enough camping in the army to last a lifetime, I subscribed to see how things go. Thanks for the nice video. Cheers Terry Upstate South Carolina
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the video. Never really been camping or know about 'bannock'(?) bread. Is it cornmeal with leavening? Anyway, don't let mean comments deter you. You're doing great! 🥰🙏💗
what kind of wood do you have in the forest there it sounds like good hard wood and seems to burn for some time. Im kind of limited to mostly pine and aspen where i live.
good to know that you can survive a snowy night with just two plastic tarpaulins. Didn't you feel a bit cold and how low did the temperature drop at night?
Yep! Only thing that got cold were my toes a couple times, I didn't have my insulated boots on since it was so warm out on my hike in. It got down to the low 20's that night, wind chill was well below that. A quality down-filled sleeping bag makes a world of difference
Thanks for this great video. Old equipment can be great stuff. It appears you had a great stay in the woods. I like that cheesy bannock. Have you ever considered the Siberian Log Fire? Check it out, from Lars of Survival Russia. (He is Danish...)
For sure, half of my gear is hand me down stuff from family, it works great.. and I always wanted to try that but I haven't yet, I'll check out his videos thanks
I love that you pointed that out I thought it was so stupid, I understand why it's done though a lot of RU-vidrs and television shows do silly things like that for the experience that typical people get
Sterling job mate camping here in the uk is a touch more safer than you guys have it over the pond especially as you have big predators and more extreme weather
