A wonder out from home for a wild camp in my local woodland being Eddie McGee’s training ground for survival and tracking back in the 80’s. Eddie McGee wrote several books including the ‘complete book of survival’ and was a notorious tracker helping police hunt several murderers.
I’m lucky to have this place on my doorstep and have spent my life exploring and utilising it for fires, wild camping, my fell running route, wild swimming and making dens.
I give a basic review of the DD hammocks SUPERLIGHT TARP TENT and the BIOLITE STOVE.
Also a look at a couple of bushcraft bits I’ve made.
Get outside!

That’s an awesome red moon is there no end to your channel skills. Lots of bacon can’t beat bacon. Great video again my friend,hopefully see more videos soon John Sheffield England
Thank you very much loved going on another venture with blue you awsome lots fun so intesting always beautiful scenery stay safe peace love to blue Nicole you 💙 ❤ 😊
Thanks Liz or Beth? I do like a fire😬
Thanks for the review, I’ve been looking at this tent for thru hiking in the UK mainly doing the National Trails such as the Ridgeway and the West Highland Way in Scotland and thinking that it might be an alternative to the Lanshan 1 Pro.
To tie back the inner bug door I use a wooden clothes peg from home.
Yes good shout 👍👍👍
Most handsome bloke on TH-cam, my face is like a screwed up paper bag. Top lad. great to see some older stuff popping up. Cheers Sel
😂😂😂 cheers guys
You could see/hear how nicely knackered you were by that run earlier! Cracking spot (close to home is always special) and glad the impromptu fire happened - made all the difference in the end eh? Without getting too soppy it's also great to see a Northern male in genuine admiration of his lass - quite touching was that. Anyway, new sub here - I can see this channel doing very well! Looking forward to more. Cheers. Rich.
Thanks mate! Yes I’m all about the love and not afraid to show my emotions. We only have one life so bash on and enjoy it and make yourselves and others happy. I’m definitely planning on making my channel grow so that I become an integral part of the wild camping/outdoor community. Definitely more to come! My next video will blow your mind (hopefully).

Thanks for the video. I too have purchased this same DD Superlight Tarp Tent, but not yet had opportunity to use it...so camp results were good to see. I bought the Tarp Tent SPECIFICALLY for hike in Fly Fishing trips, just in case I camp over for a single night. I'm not intending to use it for multi-night camps. The highly compact size and carry weight of just under 2-lbs was a KEY factor in getting it, as well as it having a floor. The compact, very light Tent weight allows me to pack a lightweight ground sheet, I will use with it, and a small 100% waterproof silnylon Tarp to shelter over it if I choose to.
I plan to use mine in Spring, early Summer, and Fall seasons only. That single wall Tarp Tent I do not consider very good for Winter, as you discovered. If you insist on using it in Winter, maybe pitch a 6-ft x 7-ft waterproof tarp over it. Also, if you have a means to safely suspend it, I have heard some use a small tea candle lantern that helps reduce condensation inside the tent.
Definitely a great lightweight tent as a just incase. You could tie your fishing line to your toe and stick it out of the tent whilst you sleep 😂😂😂
loved it.
Cheers mate.
I'm with you on the going wrong and laughing. Have a look at my folding woodstove video, all prepped and forgot the food.
Will do!
Another cracking video mate...blue reminds me on my English springer...just the perfect dog! 👍🏻
Dogs are ace and such individuals! I love them.
Oh and thank you 🙏
Growing up in Cumbria denmaking was one of the staple pastimes, as I mentioned before I spent five years near Thirsk, and when I was hoofed out at 17 I was pretty comfortable being 'homeless' haha.
Must have been great finding pre-made dens ready for your adaptations 👍
As kids it was all we did... light fires and make dens in the woods. I wish kids got out more today and did the same. I really think it grounds you and makes you happy! Great doing it as an adult too. Long may it carry on!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I'm ready to do it permanently, abandon society and hit the Highlands, I have family near Aberdeen for bad winters as back up.
You definitely think like me! I wish there was an ‘opt out’ of society and bills etc. I’d happily live off the earth without the usual life stresses. Do it man!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Today is set 2man tent up day, check everything over, I have bigger tents but for the purpose and foreseeable weather scenarios it's a 2manner, poly sheet underneath, (leafage on top of that makes your floor an insulated mattress) and hopefully the fly from one of my larger tents will fit over it as an extra weather barrier, also have tarpage but a tent fly is purposeshaped and should sit nicely over the 2man frame/poles and can be lashed down properly.
Probably throw up a short vid later of it.
Good vid
Love the leather work and your knife - skilled guy
Atb 👍🏽
Thanks Dave. I’ve made loads of cool stuff over the years and several knives. It’s a good feeling using tools you’ve made yourself.
Just subscribed to your channel and am busy catching up. Great viewing and Blue is a star too 👍🏻
Keep it up.
Welcome mate. Loads to watch of some pretty epic adventures in some pretty epic places👍👍👍
Love the leather work.
Thanks I can put my mind to most things but I particularly like doing cool stuff! I’m a bit knife and axe obsessed 🤷🏻♂️
That rabbit skin thingy you made for your pocket, would have been called a muff in the 50s! They were popular for bridesmaids lol.
I love a good muff 😂. It works so well.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE it can't be beaten for keeping your hands warm!🤣
Lovely area, I’d love to hammock there, it’s flat as you can imagine in Norfolk!!
Great video fella, Blue looks perfect company.
Just subbed....
Yes I couldn’t live anywhere flat although I’ve stayed in Sherringham a few times so know the coast well and it’s lovely!
Thank you!
Nice video pal. Good old cotton wool and vaseline! Subbed
Thank you! I’m currently camping on a mountain in the lakes!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE you badass!
I didnt expect much of this video I couldnt of been more wrong. I've been laughing all the way through sometimes you've just gotta laugh 🤣
Thanks I’m glad you appreciate a simple camp out.
great little adventure. love to see a short for setting up a DD hammock and tarp? id be interested in your thoughts on whoopie slings, also on keeping warm in a hammock
You've made yourself a rabbit skin muff. Used by young children in the 1950s. I know I had one made from the skin of one of our meat rabbits which fed us after the war.
Another great video gree- bush man 👍🏻🍄
Thanks!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE do you have Facebook by any chance? Might be a good idea to share your channel within some wild camping/ bush craft groups. I’m a moderator of a wild camping group on fb and people seem to gather a decent amount of subs this way. Just a thought aha!
Yes I’m on it!
I’m looking to be an integral part of the wild camping community to help others in a positive way to ‘get outside’ and enjoy wild camping safely.
Send me a link to your group and I’ll join and post a link to a video.
Thanks
@@BUSHMANandBLUE my comment keeps getting deleted I think... just search wild camping uk on fb
My partner and I love your videos! Thank you for sharing. We live in Nidderdale and are wondering where this gorgeous spot is...we think it may be quite close to us... out exploring this weekend 😃
Ey up! Thank you. Hopefully I can entertain you for 30 mins a week for years to come. We are lucky to live here!!!
Just up above Glasshouses!
Great video just came across your channel have been camping before but not wild camping, don't know if I'd be as brave I'm 53 now but then age isn't an excuse, my collie dog is to old with arthritis to now come along with me, hope you do more videos, will be subscribing..
In a week or two I have a video which is a beginners guide to wild camping giving some ideas to get started safely. This might help you get out!
Thanks for your feedback!
All the best
Bushman
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Thanks I'll look out for that!
Slowly working through your videos - very enjoyable and interesting. Definitely no music required! You talked about your jacket - I have a Buffalo Mountain shirt - if you’re not familiar, check them out as you may like them. Thanks again for your channel.
Brilliant I’m glad you’re enjoying them. My brand of choice is Fjallraven but ill definitely have a look at the ‘Buffalo’
Thanks mate.
Al
Great video 👍 Yorkshire Dales is a place am coming to more once we're allowed out 😂 normally in peak district me being Sheffield base
Thanks mate! The Dales are lovely and not too far for you. I’m lucky to live here although the lakes are more of an epic scale.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE lakes is a new one to me buddy have only just started wild camping 😂 that why have set up this channel to show people my journey and stuff lol but have watched couple of your video you have a good channel mate Al send you a sub 👍 fellow Yorkshire man aswell haha atb Justkarl_outdoors
I’ve just subbed dude!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE aww nice one buddy 👍👍👍 happy camping
Hello mate, just found your YT channel, looks like you are a new channel so I have subbed, love the kit... Good luck with channel.
Thanks! Yes just starting out. I’m constantly out on adventures so I just thought I’d start filming them. Hopefully I’ll be adding a new video weekly. Spread the word!
Bushman
@Bush Man and Bluie Dog Will do, all the best Stay Safe. I too will be adding videos weekly, so spread the word too, hopefully as soon as I can get out there will be some better content, more instructional and some superb locations. I have a feeling my first is going to be somewhere in Norfolk, May Sometime when our lockdown has lifted for camping.
Fell upon your videos after watching Nicola! On this video you have a fire, but on another video, you say fires are not allowed. Not judging, just need to know what the rules are.
Thanks and keep the videos coming!
The main rule is ‘leave no trace’ which fires when not managed properly do scar the ground. Many don’t abide by this so ideally no fires are best. There is the safety aspect too where again if not managed properly can cause forest or moorland fires quite easily. I love a fire but if I have one you’d never find where!
Thanks Danny.
Looks like the Lowe alpine air zone pro 45/55? I’ve just bought one what’s your thoughts? Not a fan of dd kit. Another good video. 👍
Thanks!
The backpack is the AirZone Camino trek 40:50. It’s well comfy and I can run with it on my back too. The DD tent is okay at best but I love the DD super light hammock and tarp though.
I’ve had the Biolite for years and thought it was a bit naff TBH if you’ve got some bushcraft skills. You nearly lent it some credibility here. It’s still a bit weighty and I’d have to remember to pre-charge it so the battery works until there’s enough heat to self sustain. I don’t know about your cooking skills but Ray Mears would defo be jealous of your BMI. 😂
😂😂😂 I need to take ray out to show him how to elongate his life😂. The bio lite does work well but as you say a bit heavy to carry around especially compared to my titanium XL fire box👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE jealous. I’ve only got the SS Firebox. I love it but it weighs the same as Ray. Another item for the wist list. Cheers
You always seem to follow the dog . Is he GPS enabled.
😂 Obviously we are a pack and he’s definitely a pack dog but his job is to be the point. He always likes to lead.
R u selling any of your knives. ? I would be interested in buying a hand made knife with Sheffield steel
I’m not selling any as I wouldn’t have the time to make them whilst making videos. I do enjoy making them though
Hi there buddy, If force of weather prevents you and Blue from being out and making vidis, you could make a knife for me, I'd pay a good price for a handmade knife like yours, without the slightest hesitation.! So if you and Blue ever have enough time on your hands and you change your mind, please do add me to your waiting list!
That's some wonderful "man n his best buddy" countryside you have there. Me 'n my furry buddy; he's a golden retriever, a rescue job, often enjoy a days trespassing in what little local land is not intensively farmed. Its so intensively farmed (Lincolnshire) that it could just about feed the whole UK if need be so, dog friendly hikes are few n far between, and there's is nothing like your moors n dales. How I envy you. But we make the best of what we do have, public footpaths along the margins of the fields and a few disused rail tracks all nicely overgrown with wild vegetation, trees, bushes n shrubs.plenty of interesting game and wildlife scents to keep any dog's nose working flat out.
Thanks for your You Tube videos, always visually and mentally stimulating and thankfully unspoilt by half wit noise on musical instruments. Wind n rain, birdsong and the barking of deer is perfection so keep em coming like that, they are so much appreciated. And don't forget, if you ever have enough spare time to make another knife or two, save one for me! All the best n God bless you both and keep you safe in our treacherous English climate. I know how brutal it can get up on that high moorland in winter when the wind driven sleat is flying sideways. All the best, n lookin forward to more of your adventures with Blue. Stay safe always, best regards to you both from me n my best buddy.
Thanks buddy much appreciated. Strangely my next video I’m making a quick knife in. Hopefully it will be out in a day or two. I’d love to make some knives to sell but it’s just not financially viable. I might get to make a few with my mate though at some point that might get released😉👍👍👍
Awesome! Would you say you prefer having a fire or using the biolite? I can see the beauty of the stove but the fire is great in so many other ways...?
Mate!.... a fire every time! I’ve lit thousands of fires over my time from being a kid of 6 when my dad bought me my first knife. We were also free to roam! Check out my new vid just uploaded now!
Fill it with larger chunks, light the fire on TOP, & let it burn downwards. Lasts about a half hour, then put the embers on top & start again if needed... Had mine about ten years, never had to charge it yet.
I just hadn’t used mine for a couple of years. Good bit of kit though. Thanks mate.
can this be pitched with a ridge line from a tree and do away with trekking poles. Good video subbed.
I’m not sure really 🤔. With a line pulling up at the centre point it would definitely work but not in any wind. I think there are better trekking pole tents out there but I haven’t tested them. I have a lanshan pro 2 which I’ll use soon.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE thanks for replying I like the shape its very similar to my 1980s Robert Saunders jetpacker tent. I like the side entry the jetpacker is enter at the head and can be awkward but it is the tent I use the most.
I’d check one out in a shop first as I said I think there are better tents out there. It’s great for lightweight summer back packing but not when wet being single skin.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE thanks I don't think I will get one the jetpacker is doing fine but would prefer a side entry. have you used the lanshan in harsh weather?
I’ve not used it at all yet. Might get it out in a week or two. I have a similar tent which is a hilleberg but it’s only single skin. Both a three season tent. I’ll have to put the lanshan through it’s paces!
love this video...
subbed
peace pall
Thanks! I’ll try keep it up and improve along the way.
