Solo Winter Jeep Camping / First Snow Fall 

Awesome Mike! Caught a slight Haze-like bedtime sign off as well. Love it.

Nice video…always enjoy and learn a lot of stuff from your videos…best wish from USA

You need to see his mcqbushcraft videos then, there's an archive channel of them all. Mike is pretty much the original goat of youtube bushcraft. You have hours and hours of enjoyment waiting.

@@Dravensdmf I actually found that one on accident via Instagram. 🤣

Thanks for checking out the channel and watching!

Tack för att du tittade! Min svenska får sina. Det hjälper bara att prata svenska med mina svenska vänner här. Ord börjar fastna i huvudet. Gott nytt år.

Appreciate you watching!!

Hey thanks for checking out the channel. I'm not retired sadly haha, still working, but we moved to northern Sweden about four years ago. Thanks again

Thank you, its getting better slowly. Ah nice, there are a lot of ZJ's around at the moment, they are pretty awesome when you do them up. Thanks for watching and hope you find a nice one!

Thanks for watching! I do have a bit orlf ocd with my organisation 😄

The thanks goes to you! 🙂

Its some powerful stuff!

Det är på väg dit men fortfarande väldigt grundläggande. Jag har startat Duel Lingo vilket hjälper då jag inte får använda min svenska tillräckligt för att göra snabbare framsteg. Tack för kommentaren och för att du tittade!

Hey Jonathan, thanks for watching. You should definitely come here sometime, the winter is a bit harsh but the spring has much longer days and is a bit easier to get around.

That's really interesting, something to bear in mind when I'm out there. Thanks for watching

Sadly a trip in his layer in my most vulnerable state! That sounds like a nice idea though. So the tank is under your seat and the pump can fill that tank up and you can pump water out for use? My main concern is freezing. I normally use snow in the winter and carry no water at all but it would be nice to have something on board for when you want quick water.

Tack för tipsen. Jag tror att det att se filmer på svenska har hjälpt med engelska undertexter. Jag känner att det blir bättre och bättre. Det är grundläggande men som du säger, att prata med andra ofta är nyckeln. Tack för att du tittade.

Thanks for watching and for subscribing!

Thanks very much. I will keep learning 💪

Tack David, jag kände att jag kunde ha gjort det bättre men jag tror att vem som helst skulle säga det. Jag tycker om att prata språket och lära mig det. Jag och Megan måste göra ett helt avsnitt på svenska en dag! Tack för att du tittade!

Thanks, I don't feel the most confident about my Swedish but I try not to shy away from speaking it or asking what things mean if I don't understand. Being alone is sketchy to be fair. The nights before I camp I'm always imagining crazy stuff, but then when i'm out there i feel calmer.

Hahaha yeah I tried that and it was very funny. Thanks for watching

Glad you found the channel and thanks for watching mate

Thanks for watching! I would love to get the family out again but I think the cold weather is too hard on my toddler right now. Its around -18c although slightly warmer in the day. I guess when March comes and the days are longer and warmer my little boy can enjoy it more. For now its just me solo. Thanks again foe the comment and for watching

Hey Mike, I think RU-vid deleted the link? It sounds super interesting I would love to see it. Maybe you can email it at info@mcqbushcraft.co.uk? I have a lot of awnings from my instructor days in the basement so I will probably use one of those in the meantime. Thanks for watching.

Please repost the link, BUT put gaps/spaces into it and then, it should post without being filtered. Thank you.

Thanks for checking it out Simon and subscribing! All is well thank you mate

Haha, he was probably looking straight back at me from that cave structure on the drive in.

I may have to get one. My water cooker can't use white gas. I will check online or make something. Thanks for the inspiration

Yeah a little bit. It was quite a weight off my shoulders when I started a new channel. I guess I've learn from my old mistakes and I said to myself if I made another channel I would just enjoy it for me with no pressure. So far its been good fun and pretty chilled with enjoyable filming also. I think the difference with this channel is that I'm filming things I'm doing anyway and it's a mixture of workshop and outdoors. With mcqbushcraft I often had to come up with content and go out of my way to make it. It took huge efforts and it stopped being fun for me. The average viewers were really nice but bushcraft has a lot of unrealistic expectations about fantasy survival and nonsense.

It was a fight for my life, sadly six of my best boxer shorts didn't make it. I never leave a man behind but they left mine, that's what i tell myself to get through the trauma.

@@WorkshoptoWilderness 🤣👍 It wouldn't be a camping trip without a few casualties....😂😉 Take care bud..👍

Tack. Det var inte min bästa prestation men jag var lite blyg för kameran. Jag vet vad du menar, folk vet att jag är en engelsk man så de vill prata engelska med mig. Jag ber min chef på jobbet att prata svenska med mig hela tiden men han är mer bekymrad över att jag ska förstå jobbet han vill att jag ska slutföra. Jag förstår det men nu svarar jag på svenska när han pratar engelska. Jag är säker på att det med tiden kommer att bli bättre, jag lär mig nya ord hela tiden, förmodligen bara långsammare än jag borde få. Jag pratar inte med många människor. Jag är verkligen glad för Megan, hennes svenska har kommit så långt, jag är verkligen stolt över henne och hon trodde att hon aldrig kunde prata ett annat språk. Tack för att du delar med dig av din historia och för tipset. Tack också för att du tittade!

Haha that's a good point, its not a car. Sounds like you have a good fleet at home! I would love a two door, the yare super rare here. Thanks for watching!

Yeah its much better without them! Its crazy because I forget how bad they are with such a long winter. Ah nice, sounds like a perfect rig to get out into the wilds. 2 doors are rare around here!

Hey Sandy, good to hear from you. Glad your getting on well, your still very young mate. Its been cold here bow, -17 today.... How's the cycling going then? Must be a great way to travel around.

Hey, I couldn't tell you how it would work with EV's as I have no experience of them, especially in an overland camping setup. You don't see too many EVs used for long distance work up here due to the lack of infrastructure and the cold. Perhaps if they designed a SUV with a suitable battery and the body panels of the car were all solar panels then long distance summer travel could be possible as well as heating and cooking? I guess time will tell but my guess is they better fix the energy crisis first because sustainability isnt on anyone's side to support the fantasy future they have outline for us. The thing about the tents with two compartments, one for shoes ect, is all specific to brand and size. Some do, some don't. Mine have bags that hang on the outside that you put shoes in but when we camp as a family we just bring crocks and take our outdoor boots off in the awning room, put the crocks on and put them in the boot bags because it doesn't matter if they are cold or wet. The tents are also fully weather proof and snow, rain, wind etc don't effect the occupant. You can buy extra canopy's and things that clip on them but to be honest we never used ours much on our old tent as its just a fly trap in the summer and more stuff in the winter. They do make pop up tents that fill with air but the plus side of an aluminium hard shell is its ability to be loaded onto up to around 100kg so you can mount solar panels, canoe etc on top of it. the blowups aren't very good at this time but I guess they will get better. Mate your questions..... Sip of tea. I'm guessing your offroad experience isnt up there. Pulling a trailer doesn't make off-roading easier and its fucking heavy with all the gear in it. It sinks in snow, mud and soft tracks, its an absolute fucker to move on your own and its often a matter of disconnecting the trailer, driving up tracks and then trying to turn around to pull the trailer up the obstacle with the winch. I know from experience because I wheel with a guy with the setup you have talked about and although you can do a lot more than you would expect with a trailer, its not going to make my life easier. I upgrade my rear axle about four years ago along with many other things, weight distribution across the vesicle is key, not much is in the back of mine. Most sits forward of the rear wheels. Anyway fuck me, I got through it. I think you should start your own business, maybe call it 'Mickeys Ant Fuckery' you could have an logo on your van with you arched back, thrusting forwards holding your dinkus with a ammunition belt of ants being fed into the side of it blasting out spent ant cases like your just MG42'ing the shit out of people, questions, observations, suggestions!! You get um Mickey! Technology has changed a lot if you look at materials, weights and such but also some of it doesn't need to change that much because it works and its affordable unlike a lot of things you just said. DONT REPLY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MICKEY I DONT HAVE THE TIME FOR THIS. And don't take offense because I'm joking with you

I don't think he'll be popping there for fuel lol.

Hey thanks for tuning in. It's a long story to be honest but I'm active on this channel now which is more of a combination of all my interests. Thanks for watching again 🙂

I’ve been thinking of that also

That's a great idea

Thanks for watching. ITs the power usage that I worry about. It certainty would cut down on clutter like gas bottles etc... I will have to look into it as maybe there is a good solution.

Mans is gone sadly. I probabaly have some kind of perfectionism syndrome for sure. thanks for watching!

@@WorkshoptoWilderness 😢

Thanks for watching and subscribing

It doesn't feel like camping without keeping my hand in the bushfires. I think it was bigfoot ghosting me. I know he can throw his voice and his breath...

😂😂 love it!

I've not been to Finland yet but we wanted to travel there next summer if we get the chance. I've heard that Ray had courses up around Northern Finland but I never new where. I'm sure its stunning up there. If I make it up that way we can stay in touch! Thanks for watching.

Hey, I made them earlier in the year - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hHo5q983e7k.html I think there are two videos on them but here is one of them. Thanks for watching

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cC8-k56YXJ8.html here is the first one

Thanks for subscribing Dan! Its taken me about 7 years to build it to this point, it came standard with a diesel in as its one of the Euro Export Jeeps. I've got most of the build videos on a playlist here - ru-vid.com/group/PLQQXgt9BFgASOP_cvdHa-nAJEthHsIJRx It goes way back mind so some of the early stuff might not be so interesting. Anyway thanks again!

I know....next time!
