Of all the Bushcraft Channels on TH-cam, this one is becoming by far my favourite, mainly because I get to see someone work with an environment similar to the one I camp in (I live in Scotland), and I remember this thing that happened to me and I wonder if any other campers were struck with the same fate that befell me and my then girlfriend;
So basically, it was a really good and warm, sunny day. It had been for all week and forecasts had it going longer, we had the perfect time to camp at our spot. This was April 2010. (Some people probably already know where this is going)
So we're there, we've got our camp set up, fire going, wood collected and our sleeping area and shelter built. Didn't foresee any problems through the night.
Unbeknown to us however, the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull had released a massive ash plume that brought with it a storm. We woke up at 6am to find that our entire camp was literally flooded that it was the water reaching our backs on our bed that woke us.
I bet your ass you've never seen a camp abandoned so fast in all your life, we ended up just tossing all our wools and letting nature reclaim them, it was like carrying chunks of steel so yeah, lost some good wools and some equipment that day :(

Two reasons why the forest might be warmer than the field. First, the trees create a shelter from cold winds which draw out heat from the environment. Second, the forest acts as one big "fire-reflector". Heat can be transported without mass (air) being involved, the effect is called "thermal radiation". Open fields just radiate their heat out into the atmosphere, while in a forest the radiation is reflected on every tree, keeping it inside the forest.
You hit the nail on the head, when Ya said it takes "Common Since" seems like alot of people don't have anymore. Another Great video, I enjoyed it something awful. Nice 1.
I find that a modest wooden fire reflector makes such a difference to fire efficiency in cold weather.
So easy to make.
I've just started watching your channel, so you've probably covered this subject.
Thanks for your work.
I love how he said. "Everyond might say im doing it wrong, or its wrong technique...but its right "For Me". I love that. Whatever works for you, works. As long as its not a danger to your life, do it the way you want. Use gear that works for you. I hate these guys who claim nothing works except the gear they have. Or their way is the only way. It arrogant.
I agree with that.
TA Outdoors:
The reason that it doesnt seem as hard of a frost in the deep woods with peaty soul is the heat created by decay. As the fallen leaves, twigs, various fungi, etc. decay it releases stored energy as heat. I am glad i got the chance to exchange knowledge with you. Happy camping.
So many people don't know that... Nice. It's also true and added to that there are the wind break properties of the trees to help cut down on chill factor.
beautiful skills and editing! you motivated me to get into the bush today =D
ooky badookie same
ooky badookie If you are hiding in a bush just dont go into a thorn bush 😂
The background noise was too loud to the point of distraction and if one has his own channel then invest in a popper stopper, manage a more remote mic and get a hands-free camera. There are people with good content that hide it by not using some fairly inexpensive equipment upgrades. Also, why can't TH-camrs watch and learn from TV and other YT success stories and copy what works well?
My Mom is disabled now, we used to camp, hike and fish a lot and she watches your videos and really enjoys! So thanks so much and cheers!!
The mask of your axe steep it in hot water put it back on your axe it will shrink back 2 it correct size..
I enjoyed revisiting this one: simple and effective shelter; floor leveling, raised bed thermal break; simple meal with hot items. All good practice; good tips.
Thanks James, this was one of my favourite one man shelters
I would choose and Axe no doubt about that! If you get stuck in winter with only a knife you would freeze pretty quickly because you can't get enough fire Wood and it is not very likely that you stay in your survival Situation for so long that you have to prepare game. I use my Gransfors Outdoor axe for more than two years now and it's light enough to do feathersticks and carving. I even use it for outdoor cooking, but I can still chop down a tree with it. Once we had to fell a 15 year old tree in the garden which was about 12 inches in Diameter and this was no Problem at all for the Outdoor axe...
Lighting during the night scene was incredible!
cold weather I would take a boys axe and in warmer weather i would take a knife. I keep my axes hair shaving sharp .I prefer a boys axe with a smaller to mid size knife and folding buck saw.That is one beautiful Kuksa!Really enjoy your videos!
Love the cooking tripod and toggle you made for cooking. Its so simple but eye opening when you see someone else put it together. Knot tying was very helpful.
Regarding your cooking you would have been better to heat a large rock at the edge of the fire, assuming you can find one and cooking on that. Rock offers a much more even heat and is less likely to burn your food ie that sausage lol. btw, I would go the Axe given it takes much less effort and energy to cut up wood for fires and everything else, yes not so easy to skin animals but this depends on the design and sharpness of the chosen axe.
Of all the bushcraft TH-camrs I follow (Joe Robinet, Carlisle, Scrambled O, Survival Lily, Primitive technology, and TA Outdoors) you are my favorite!
Thanks Peggy!
I would take an axe over a knife. just due to my experience with an axe and I know I can do all the things with an axe that I could do with a knife and then some. very good question! your videos always spark a lot of questions and interesting conversation topics in my mind.
Don't you find that sometimes the simplest food is the most sensually rewarding? My favourite snacks are peanut butter on toast, with a layer of sliced apple on top. Or a wholemeal bread corned beef and Branston sandwich. Just wonderful!
Fosters, blue wicked and panda pops. You can't go wrong with this holy trifector of beverages.
He's trying to muscle in on you ale reviews mate.

Haha! heavy stuff...
Its being genuine and down to earth that has got me watching your videos. Thanks.
This was cool! Enjoyed it!
I think the closeness of the trees prevents some frost, and the more open areas have harder frost because there's nothing to stop the wind or coldness from passing on
hey mike try a self feeding fire.
The thicker the forest and soil, the more warmth is kept. Its like natures pillow, and also the more trees around you the better. They help cut down on wind gusts.
From Northern Ireland and would say for you to try hop house 13, nice double hopped beer :)
It's about 4°C colder outside the city than in it, but all organisms dissipate a little heat while living, including fungi and trees. Since the organisms in a dense forest are more abundant and bigger, they dissipate more heat than the grasses on an open field, which also has more loss of heat through convection (which is why i.e. a ramp to the highway often freezes before the highway itself, even with no traffic (which generates a little heat again)).
this is awesome I love things like this like little self made things
Canada here. -4? That's Spring to us. Also, I've seen a sheltered garden that used the trapped heat of the unfrozen ground to keep the winter greens and veggies from freezing. They dug in the earth a foot or so, and I think they used large barrels of water to trap more energy. The point is that the ground may be damp, but it is warmer then the air, and will help regulate the air inside the shelter the closer you are to the ground.
I drink root beer but I like in Wisconsin so it legal for me to drink at any age..... welcome to Wisconsin
mike:
if u are having trouble pouring from your billy can, I always find it easier to pour along the axis of the handle, eliminating the need for a stick. since the handle does not pivot in that direction, the can tips easily. Of course, this only works if u only have water in the can; otherwise your handle will become dirty.
Just now seeing this one. Great job, no need to justify the shelter. A little effort is all it took and a bit of common sense to make it good.
There is no place to camping in Korea... It is so sad.
south Korea..
Then in North Korea maybe there are many camping place haha.
Lol
Rip Korea
Thumbs up! 👍 That little travel towel is cool. You bring me back to when I was in the Boy Scouts!! We would go out in deep winter,3 feet of snow, and do the same. I'm in Northeast Kingdom of Vermont,USA. Thank you!!
knife, it can perform line an axe but axe cant perform like an knife. You can't use axe for staby purposes.
Good stuff! Tough question, but I think I'd go with a big knife, especially if one of the other things in my pack is a Silky saw. Keep up the great work!
What pants are you wearing? Looking for some good ones
The reason the frost is less in the woods versus in the fields is that the trees, especially coniferous trees are dark in color and gain heat during the day. Even though it does not seem like it when you are in the woods it is actually a little bit warmer then out in the open and the trees gain enough heat during the day radiate just enough to not get frost in the trees. The fields dont gain enough heat during the day and dont have enough mass to offset the moisture turning to frost. Hope that makes sense.
Well, time to listen to the Smiths and lay up under a tree root. Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me...no hope no harm just another false alarm....
My theory about why the frost is less in the woods is because maybe the trees hold some warmth in the wood. I live near 5 really big Oaks and on a bitter cold night when I pass by them it is a tiny bit warmer. Some fried onions and tomatoes would have been magic on that sausage bap! haha
great video editing was brilliant
was wondering........can you catch carp in the winter at a fishery some people say some say no whats your opinion.any tips
(i'm sorry this is on the wrong channel but figured id have a better chance of a reply on this video)
They are harder to catch in the winter, generally they head to deeper water. Maggots are usually the most popular winter bait as they wriggle and move and give off that extra attraction - Mike
Thanks
Trappiste Rochefort
Dreoilín ÓCoigligh Yes one of the best beers that I know of. Both the 6, 8 and 10 are amazing beers. Very layered taste. What is your favorite. .?
i used a fallen tree like that for my deer blind for 3 years. i just dug a gun hole and a few lookout holes though the roots. made me a log chair, covered the sides and back with brush and branches. worked great for a few years until it finally fell over.
BrewDog - Elvis Juice
Beavertown - Gamma Ray
Stone Brewing - Delicious IPA
Shout out BrewDog, they do a swell IPA
Deen Hutcheson Beavertown. Man knows his beer 👍
Anything from Brewdog really! Dead Pony Club.
I'm the states you can often find flint and chert. So if your in an area like that a hatchet may be more important. Also as you our creeks are full of glass jars and bottles. You can make a fairly sophisticated knife if you can nap flint or luck up on a jar.
I'd take the forest axe
Your question about the woodlands not getting as cold is about thermodynamics. The fact that when it changes in temperature, the thicker the woodland, the more resistant to temperature changes it is, and it acts as bit of a thermal heat zone. Likewise, it takes much longer to warm up the woods after it has been cold for a good amount of time. Axe vs knife, I would want a larger knife that can be used with a batten to chop larger trees down but can do so many different duties. I really enjoy your videos, even though my Midwest U.S. ears don't always understand the English accent! Lol...
Weed is safer than alcohol. Great vid.
Growing your own is the best.
not to mention for some people it can bring on schizophrenia, bugger the risk of that, could ruin your life.
That's a myth.
I know people its happened to. Affects different people in different ways
Its not a myth. Leading doctors in major Australian hospitals don't talk bs.
Favorite beer is, ROOT BEER. Real good stuff, root beer.....
Try some Australian VB the worst beer known to man
why? just curious :)
N T , Vb is a popular beer here in oz, but for the life of me, i couldnt tell you why ppl drink it. .....its not a nice beer.
I have only just started watching camping videos and bushcraft etc videos. I have only been camping once and loved it. When I watch these videos, I kind of feel like I am there enjoying the fire etc myself. I love watching your videos very much. I am from Australia and found these kinds of videos on you tube by accident. I was most impressed by the ones you make. My first camping experience was when I was in the U.S in Tennessee and will be going back there and doing another camping experience. I am not young and realize that I have missed out on a lot by not camping until I got old but they say it is never too late to go and love it. I love watching how you make things and am hoping some of the information and ideas will stick in my head. Thank you for all that you share and I cannot wait to see more shelters and camps etc.
it's called Carlsberg and it's probably the best beer in the world
Ben Hull hell yeah, that is Danish, just like me
This man has obviously never been to Colorado because no its not.
Fennrir First is it not Danish or not The Best beer?
Ew! Treat yourself with a beer, please. Almost any decent craft beer will do.
My dad drank that.
Thanks for the shout out. Sounds like you take a bit of crap from some critics. I love your videos. I learn a lot and you're obviously a nice guy. :)
Well englishmen sure love their white bread
malleboy122: That`s one hell of a generalisation, White bread sales are lower than wholemeal, and seeded breads.Us "Englishmen" are not all the same either !
++Dave Howard++ Dead right! I'm 71 this year, English and proud of it and have never knowingly eaten white bread in my life!
Never liked white bread don't assume
Edward reyman you people need to relax
The trees generate heat and hold it. Plus, with the trees blocking the wind, the wind doesn't make things as cold.
Good video but again, you don't need the background music.
Hope you see this even though it's a year old.
Try to find some Boulevard Brewing Smokestack Series brews on that side of the pond. Any of the Smokestack Series will knock your socks off, but I personally recommend The Sixth Glass and Bourbon Barrel Quad.
The average age in which they die is very different to average lifespan for example Australian aboriginals on average die 10 years earlier than everyone else in Australia. You were talking about the MEAN (average) number which takes all the numbers and divides them by two to give you the mean (average). very different statistics.
Nope, you're the one mistaken. Mean and average are synonymous : sum up all the numbers and divide that sum by the number of participants (that average age of death might not be the age at which anyone died). The notion you're refering to is a median, that is, the number that splits your collection into two equal bunches (the median is always the actual age of death of someone in the considered population). But you are right in the fact that these two notions are usually two different figures.
Woops sorry, digging up a 3 year old post 😅
Its incredible, The black lines in the wood are the tree shutting down to defend its self from the attacking fungus
Awesome tip on beveling steaks, that's going help so much! Great video! Cheers!
Hi Mike, great video. if you pour your boiled water in line with the handle instead of 90 degrees to it ti is much easier and more controllable.Nice job making the raised bed.
Beelzebub is an American Imperial Stout. The intensely smooth and rich roasted flavor is complemented by the unmistakable presence of hops. The bitterness is held in check, preserving the flavors of dark chocolate. This ale is aggressively dry hopped with Citra to cut through it all. PRETTY DAMN GOOD STOUT BEER AT 13.5% alcohol!
great video love the toogle idea thanks just some info for pouring from a billy pot put you handle 90 degrees to the pot and hold it vertical so the handle is off to one side now twist by the handle so the hinge point is facing the ground and sky the liquid should poor out at the handle hinge point into your other container this is how I do it no problem and one handed as well try this out good luck
I'm beginning to get hooked to your videos !!!! You have very informative information ! Who knows who will need this in a survival incident . Maybe even me ,,, !!!! a 65 year old woman !!! I love camping and hiking !!!
Me too Irene but at 70 and with health issues it is difficult to get company to come with me. They all seem to be a bit wimpy...haha.
HAAA! That belch at like...42:00, took me right back to the Benny Hill Show! Cheers!
You may have initiated a rescue crew if they saw your head torch going on and off.. thought it was an SOS. Great video! Thanks very much for sharing I love all the videos!
Liked your version of a tripod and toggle. Nice knife and that towel looked new. Right now my favorite beer is Modelo.
Does not get any better than that Mike.... cheers Kev.
Again, a well presented subject matter. Everything you say makes perfect sense. As to your bush craft knife at 9:00, ...BAD ASS!!!
I’m currently hooked on Leffe Belgian Abbey Ale
Honestly a machete seems like a good mix if both. You can bring a tree down and split it but also be able to fillet a fish.
Of and "Weihenstefaner" brand name 'Vitus' is a strong and very tasty German beer. It is 7.4% alc. I believe!
A knife I think. large enough for buttoning and sharp enough for finer work. Loving the videos
i love your personality in these videos
Karlovacko! My all time favorite! Its a Croatian beer brewed in Zagreb Croatia.
the decomposing,(rotting) of the vegation in the woods creates warmth, may only be a few degrees warmer but it makes a difrence, also the tree cover holds in the heat radiating from the earth more then out in the clear
and id rather a knife over an axe, the knife is a much more "all around" tool then an axe
loved the video excellent quality as always. thank you very much.
also love the relationship you have with your dad. not everyone has thay. 👍👏.
thanks for the effort .
when i could only choose one i would take an axe couse you can use it both way. In case of making firewood you can cut down the trees and then split the wood and if you need to and have a good axe you can also make featherstics. So when you have a knive you can make featherstics but actually nothing else like cuting down trees
In response to why it frosts less under trees, that is due to tree canopies trapping heat below them which creates a warmer environment than an area with no cover.
Oh, and for the beer try a Stella Artios from Belgium, sold everywhere. Great for something different
I always carry a multi purpose knife in my purse. Just a small one but it has come in very handy on many occasions .
Love the theory time. The Wind outside the forest is just a little stronger and therefore temps drop greater creating harder frosts. Statistics are evil, averaging means semi-lying about semi-truths. And definitely and ax. Keep it up.
I watch your videos every evening. I like your video and your sound.
I know it's a bit late, but I love ales with a tale haha,. I'd take a tomahawk over a knife, or interestingly, a billhook, they split wood well, clear undergrowth and you can dig with the outer edge of it.
Absolutely lovely video. Your sense of humour is great; your cooking is fabulous, and your videos just make me realize that we should all make time for the simpler things in life. I think natural wood smoke is far less dangerous than the chemical-laden smoke of cigarettes, but I still think your theory may hold up...a bit. All that smoke can't be good for you, can it? You have solved a great mystery of The Human Experience! Well done! Thanks again for another relaxing video. I feel as though I had an overnight camping trip too!
Another great video and informative. Keep up the great work. Don’t worry yourself with any obnoxious comment, just keep up your natural and personable videos.
i like u cos u acctually show how to make things and give tips when others just do the stuuff and then talk about their hunger
:)
Tangled Roots beer. Made in my town of Ottawa IL, USA. They make great tasting beer. Worth your time to look them up.
Great video TA.
Very informative and well put together.
We all don't have to be the elite bushmen as some people think we should.
10/10
i love the coffee cup.
I don't drink beer so sorry i don't have any tips.
Keep up the great work.
I like this bushcraft movie, it is very informative.
Another thing to mention would be that the high carbon blade on a knife could help start a fire if you found flint or chert.
Beer wise I like newcastle brown ale from bottles. Newcastle exhibition on draught. Consett breweries red dust on draught.
Thanks for another great vid
Good choices
Your best video yet. I have a suggestion for a future video. Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard that camping and fire lighting is permitted on a lot of coastal land in the UK. Why not kill two birds with one stone and do a tarp bushcraft video, utilising your fishing knowledge. You could also put a video up on TAFishing on survival fishing. MCQ Bushcraft used a very effective method. You should check it out in his coastal bushcraft video if you haven't already. Keep your excellent videos up.
Hey,
in the Netherlands we also use emergency covers, but usually they have a gold lace and a silver lace. that is why we always say gold is cold.
which means that when it is cold you have to do the golden side to the body.
I hope you have something to do with this tip.
greetings from the Netherlands (Drenthe).
my favorit beer is Grolsch
TA Outdoors, long time watcher... today i subscribed, Here is a tip you may have learned by now, Your travel towel has a built in lanyard if you stow the towel first and leave the clips on the outside =) happy trails and thanks for posting, btw your dad is awesome too1
50 min video!!!!! Awesome 👏🏻!!!!
Great video, excellent set up, only thing missing is some snow.
sure did. and ty for for this old boy to see you make it fun . and a place to learn. enjoy it ! :)
Shout out from the US...NEK of Vermont (North East Kingdom) - Just found your channel last week and we LOVE IT! Can’t wait to see the completed one person pallet wood cabin.
Thanks Karen
