WINTER CAMPING BUSHCRAFT - Chaga Tea - Chilli Con Carne - Bushcraft 

You need to talk more. Tell us what you are doing and why

Still cant believe this wonderful man has gone 😢, I rewatch all of the video one by one every time i cant sleep. May rest in peace ❤

"Old Style" Camping, just like we did in Scouting 50 years ago. So refreshing to see someone that knows how to actually prepare a Nice Hot Meal, with real food, and not pour something out of a pouch into Hot Water! A real Professional Chef! Also it's nice to watch and listen, to the sounds of the wilderness, and not some chowder head with his yak, yak, yak! Thank You for the Outstanding Camping Video. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

You produce top notch videos. Great footage, great editing, no obnoxious music, moments of reflection with brilliantly crafted shots, no endless babbling, great cooking segment, sped up footage at the appropriate moments... just outstanding. We felt like we were with you the whole time!

I hope you all have a merry Christmas and a Happy new year. Thanks again for your viewership and continued support! Ric

Thank you for taking me along to your woods, Ric. Tack så mycket!

I like it that you don't talk my ear off... Very relaxing educational videos... Thanks for sharing.🌲😊🌳

Kicking that tree was priceless lol! Myself and my husband love watching your channel we learn alot... Thank ya so much..

Wow. The dude CAN talk. I think I've heard you speak more than I ever have. I learn so much from watching your videos but I think we could learn so much more with some narration from you explaining not only what you are doing but why you are doing it. You are an artistic and talented Renaissance man. Love learning and sharing your adventures, albeit vicariously. Please keep up the great work. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Рад за тебя !!! Отличное видео , уважаю разносторонних людей , всех благ не останавливайся )))

Huge birch tree 👍🍁

Excellent video. I think you get the balance of nature sounds with the odd comment just about right.

Another epic meal from Ric! I've gotten a lot of tips from you in your vids, both food tips and general bushcraft tips. Thanks for what you do.

I really enjoy that you are taking us with you and the silence is very relaxing. Also I learn a lot from you.

Thanks for that . Very relaxing. I think the Native American peoples say a man who has a lot to say or talks to much should not be trusted. I think you can be trusted. I for one learn more from watching than listening. Thank you for what you have taught me today . Scott😁

Mmmmm. ..chili on a cold day. Nothing better.

атмосферное видео. я чагу обычно при заваривании обычного чая в чайник добавлял

Nice movie again. I like your style. Chaga is my favorite drink. I drink it everyday if I can. It calls power drink in Alaska. I have been very sick in many years now. But after I cut out carbohydrates and drink Chaga and Pine and Spruce needles I get much better and I have stopped using medicine. I eat meat, fish, fat and birds. Some vegetables that grows over the soil. Those have a little amount of carbohydrates. Thank you for sharing your moments with us. Best wishes from Arve Herman Tangen and Monika Kjeldstad 👍🇳🇴🇳🇴👍

Superbe ♥️👍

That was GREAT! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure!

Great Video! Love watching you do you bushcraft thing and oh that beautiful winter scenery! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Best Christmas gift ever! I was so happy to see this post. Great video as always and many thanks for the early Christmas present! Hope your holidays are filled with fun and frivolity! Here’s to a new year filled with adventure!

Excellent use of the axe sleeve!

Awesome video. I learn a lot b/c your keeping it real like being right there. I'm cool just watching.

I love all of your videos Ric but this one is one that I drift back to regularly. It's very relaxing, and that chili is spot-on. All the best - Luther

Enjoyable as always! Thanks for taking me along. Thumbs up!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Clark

cozy you have a video, I look with pleasure, thanks to the author.greetings from Siberia

Nice video, again :-) Like it ! :-) Thanks :)

Enough chilli for 3 meals. Great video, my preference, no talking. Just enjoy the mood.👍

Ha! Important use of the candle lamp. Great looking chili! Enjoyed your campout. Thank you.

Beautiful shots of the snow covered pine needles..very beautiful country...merry Christmas to you..safe journeys.

I love silence, and the RAR bobcat....

36:56 looks like russian landscape painting. beautiful.

Great bush craft, impressive camp site.Most of all Great beauty. Thanks Brian 77

enjoy the video's, your surrounds & the food styles. Love the sights & sounds of bird & animals

Great adventures, very inspiring, thanks for sharing, regards from Mexico!

I'm seeing many bushcraft videos, YET none of them are not as real - wild - disciplined - tasteful and etc. as yours!!! I mean it believe me I've paid attention to all the details and recording tricks. your are the most realistic so far. Congrats! GO ON BODDY :))))

Nice meal.

cool video man, especially that shot of sunrise. thanks for taking us on your adventure..

The Chaga tea looks interesting, I wouldn't mind trying it.

Like balsam, pine or spruce tip teas, i always say even Chaga has an earthy taste.......

Nice one ric thanks for sharing

Chaga tea and con carne... Nice for camp fire Sir! 👍🏼👍🏼.. Yeah in this 1st video I've heard your voice Sir.. ✌🏼

There you go making me hungry again! Great cold and dreary day makes for tasty chili. Merry Christmas!

That was great! Thanks.

Great video man

Great Video.

I know this video is to show case your back woodsman skills but I just cant get over how cute you are

Again still, the ikea bag was best convenience bag for everything, ice wood for burn, not a problem 😉

Yam! Yam!

In an emergency green birch will burn. I’ve woke up many a night at 03-0400 shivering with cold using minimal kit. Nothing beats a hot Swiss miss chocolate drink, but hot water has also worked just fine. For winter camping I bring a 3 cup thermos. I fill it with boiling water before I retire at 2300, and again either after breakfast or lunch depending on what I’m doing. Ramen makes a great calorie and hot hydration addition to the day. My core food is always precooked meat in the cold weather or Summer sausage, cheese, crackers or bannock ( gilet), cashews or pistachios, dried raisins and apricots, tea, coffee, .hot choc. Non cooked food has been a real help as a main or emergency ration. Some trips I cook more, some not at all. I’ve done traditional woods skills for decades. I’m using a small collapsible aluminum Coleman gelled fuel stove for gelled fuel or wood, less impact. I’m also trying the Swiss M71 gelled fuel stove, so far I like it and it’s easy to refill. We have a fire ban in the Spring. Sometimes its to hot in the Summer to have a fire, and some times I don’t have enough water to put a large fire out before I leave. Half shelters are cold to sleep in, but nice to rest or work in. I liked your vid.

¡ Beautiful Life.....!

Great video thanks for sharing your adventure atb jimmy 😎😎

That's the closest I'll get to a white christmas. A great vid as always and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

That chili looks delicious. :-)

That chilli looked ace man... I so wish I could just rock up to our forests and light fires... we can't do much in England, Scotland have a free to roam and light fires law but here in England we get into trouble doing that unless we have landowners permission. I'm so jealous of your camp life. All the best to you, have a fantastic Christmas and drunken New New. Lee (Burton Outdoors)

Awesome chilli minus the red bell peppers, im not a pepper man. Love your videos can't wait to get out this winter myself.

Cool video, cool skills, cool tools. Thank you. 😊

Love you man

Your camera is great, Clear.A big difference. Stay Safe.

🔥👍👍👍

Dont eat that yello snow Nag hahahaha.

Another great video Ric.. I have to say at one point I could smell the onions and beef cooking. .lol.. I'm not shiting you one bit.. thanks man..

Excellent, not much talking, no B's, simple action, Bueno,,

Glad I found your channel. Very good videos ...sharing your personal experiences in the wild. The sound of the geese in the evening was awesome. I love your naturalist eye....the old spruce, the lichens etc. I checked out your art and immediately recognized the topped tree from the lightening storm video. :) Very good work. Keep sharing with us....just the way you are ...add nothing take nothing away. Thanks.

After a little inspiration from you mate today I have ordered my first Dutch oven! Merry Xmas!!!!!

Videos are great

Love from Manipur.

merry Christmas and a Happy new year

Enough 🌶 for 4 people 👍 😊

You forgot the tortillas to go with that chili. Lol. Another good video, brother.

Feliz 🎄Navidad...

Thanks for your great videos? Can you tell me what tarp you use.

I like your adventure and want to learn more about your next adventure.

great video! too bad you didnt sleep. your chili looked so good merry xmas to you and yours!

Great video mi Amigo..ese chilli pica? 🔥🔥lol . Merry Christmas from USA Florida

❤️thanks

@ 47:00 to 47:04 , did you hear that bird cry out ' Fire , Fire ! ' . LOL !

Nikmat benar...

nice. Could not reason why you laced the saw to the branch. Great idea by the way. Very time consuming ..but then...Chaka very good reason.

I sincerely hope the New Year is going well for you, Sir. I love your videos and I always pick up an educational point while watching them. That tarp set up, the plow point, is my favorite configuration. I've never had chago tea and that was ingenious how you cut a piece out of that burl (?). I replaced my paper clip "chain" for hanging my kettle with a length of toilet reservoir chain but still used the Nite-Ize S-biner to hang the kettle. OMG. I wanted to reach out and ladle some of that incredible chili out of the pot. Great video!

Camping is good, nice video your meal no delicious to me but thanks for your video

awesome outing buddy,wish we had some snow here merry X-mas

Beautifull video.. Sir salute to u your chaga tea and that yummy food wow everything is owesome and The view of snow trees cool owesome.. Sir please i like your piecefull silent videos.. You can type on screen if anyone have questions for your camping... And I know in deep alone forests if we make silent then we can safe our life from forests animals.we could alert only by one mathod if we are more silent and aware.. Thanx for your very nice video keep it up.. Type on screen all things that you were doing there.. Please . And An Artists talk less and work more I know.. If we talk less then we can make new new ideas of Art, Food and painting 🎨 and lot of another things that you almost prepare like wooden spoons, wooden wonderfull rings 💍.. So please lots of people enjoy your videos because of these thing not for talk. I know Artists are talk less then work they work more..more talk is only west of time

Merry Christmas Bro -)

Great video, and I thought I was the only one to go after the Chaga before setting up my camp LOL. we have some huge chunks like that way up high on some of the trees down near the border. Yea with strange temps and very little snow ice is not good here and I know last time in the bush there was no frost in the ground in the off the path areas. Did you make the fold-able belt bag? Cheers from rural Thunder Bay and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....Fred

Tus videos son buenisimos. Muchas gracias!

Great video !! Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you buddy ....i look forward to watching more of your adventures in 2018 !! Stay safe jb

The bird was not eating, the bird was looking for food... Merry Christmas!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice dude!!

Very nice video! I’m cool with it if you’re a man of little words. It highlights the overall experience of your actions. On the other hand, I would not at all be opposed to some narration, purely to learn about what you’re doing and why. The food looks delicious!

Muito bom esse vídeo! Vou tentar essa receita um dia aqui no Brasil! Fico doido para acampar e praticar bushcraft em um local frio. Sem precisar se preocupar com mosquitos, formigas, escorpiões, aranhas, cobras e tudo mais que aqui são sempre parceiros de viagem! kkkkkkk Grande abraço!

I love You!

Seriously, can you finish the whole pot of food? Nice one!

Nice video. Like your dutchoven, nice design. what brand is it and where did you get it?
