Foresters Tent! Green Beret Bushcraft Camp Build Part Three
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- During part three of the series, I build the shelter frame using a couple of lashes; Make some Tent Stakes; I use an innovative Toggle Buckle System that I have never shown before to fasten it all together; I talk a bit about the original custom knife that I made for myself called the "GB2 Puukko", and build my version of the historic Foresters Tent.
This series is about a return to more traditional bushcraft skills and enjoying myself doing a solo overnight camping trip while building the bushcraft camp with more traditional bushcraft gear. I have chosen to use vintage camping gear like an Oilskin Tarp, a selection of leather and waxed canvas items, and some hand-forged items that are truly one-of-a-kind like my marlinspike. In addition, there are some items that would be considered more modern mixed in there.
The focus of this series was not teaching the skills by the numbers; it was meant to show "skills in context" as they would be used in a bushcraft camp setup.

You're my favorite dude to watch doing Bushcraft/Survival Skills online. It's your personality. It's how you teach. How you carry your self. Really wish one day I'd could join you for a few days in the woods for some campin' & maybe catch a fish or few! Started watchin' you a few months ago, great content. Then one day I saw you talking about caches. I thought, wow, this guy thinks like I do. I live on the front range of the southern Colorado Rockies. Thanks for being you. You inspire us by simply living what you enjoy. Peace, Long Life & Prosperity my friend.!
Check out his DVDs
Climbing out of the rabbit hole long enough to say, All my life, when going camping, I've used pop up tents and Coleman stoves, etc.. I thought I was having fun but now I see that your way is where the fun is derived. Thank you.
You have a good sense of humor, subtle, but good. I shared some of your videos with my son, brother and a homie - they all responded positivity. It's not just the survival aspect. We all live in the Bay Area and as a consequence we are not exactly what you would call rugged outdoorsmen; however, we still want to take the kids out to wilds and so forth... Well, since watching your channel we all have an example to follow. We have been hanging out and learning together as equals and this has been very positive.
We put together packs and using them so if the time comes where we are thrust into a survival situation - we will actually have a fighting chance.
Once again thank you so much for all your help and all you do for the community. You're changing lives.✊🏾👩🏾🦲
I appreciate it. In the end, it’s about getting folks off the couch and out into the wild to enjoy life more. The woods have always been a huge part of my own life and very therapeutic, and I think that would be the same for most folks if I can get them to try it. I love hearing this.
Thank you for making sure to include the safety tip, one simple hatchet whack to the shin can ruin your whole day! So many simple things that can either ensure the completion of your adventure or make you wake up dead!
When my dad, brothers, and I were building our hunting cabin, I think we said, "That's REAL nice, Clark." A few million times.
Same. Or can you hurry up, I'm freezing my baguettes off
Lovely details......envious of your patience.
With so many videos out there teaching "quick setup" shelter systems, it's nice to see one that's a little more sturdy with a little more effort out into it. Thanks!
One of the good tent ever watch here in utube. Watching here in the Philippined.the lone mountainer
really enjoying the backwoodsman stuff .........................the fundamental principals passed down through hard experiences .......... thanks, from the uk
The foresters tent set up is awesome!
Thinking about using that set up for long term when I get to Slab City with my Pathfinder nylon tarp👍
As a fat guy on the internet I can say that this is pure wizardry to me lol.
For my taste, this is the best tarp setup I’ve seen yet. Thank you
Love the "Ninja Test"
I just love that your videos just start. No nonsense, No Flair. Just here the information lets do this.
Best Channel!~
"And get yourself something real nice Clark." Love it. Amazing series so far. Easy going pace, packed with knowledge. Keep it up.
Good video, liking the toggle lesson, very cool stuff even for a guy like me who is more into the modern (but still has a vast respect for the traditional, and a need to know and use both).
Some of the comments made for some entertaining reading as well, I see your audience has diversified and is now reaching various safety inspectors as well as a young man in mom’s basement. Good on ya for handling it all well.
TLDR: I may have to scout out a location for using these skills after watching this series. It would be really nice to practice this skill set and produce a comfortable semi-permanent camp for lounging in one place a few days.
I always pack in my stakes, picking my toggles off the ground as I need them. My shelters usually consist of the free standing plow point - one of your best videos in my opinion - or hammock and tarp. The hammock and tarp setup differs from summer and winter. As I gain experience I am going to ground with the plow point more often as a cold weather shelter, with a small fire strategically located - like the dakota fire- hole in another great video of yours - I keep relatively comfortable. I haven't tried many of the techniques in this series because my needs are different.
Great Video as always.
I love the plow point for crappy weather.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret If I could only make one shelter, it's the plow point. The footprint, quickness of setup and the coverage.
davidyanceyjr agreed. I did one with a 5x7 emergency blanket and it went through a thunderstorm, heavy downpour. I measured the dry spot underneath at 7 feet long and around 4 feet across. Me and my gear dry. It’s a great shelter
I don't usually watch long videos. A coffee and good info is always welcome. The tarp setup at the end was something I hadn't seen before. Thanks for taking the time to set the scene and post this video.
Thanx for that! Yes practicing how to use the tools (NINJA THROW) makes life so much easier. Again thanx. Great vid
Thank you for what you do
Quoting uncle eddie haha real nice!
I have always loved that movie. “It’s the gift that keeps on giving. That is is, Edward.”
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret that's a must watch 20 times every year in my house
Nice, GBGB! I especially like the closeups. Helps these old eyes to see the mechanisms and knots. Your patient explanations help a lot too! Great job!
The toggle system is really clever! Thanks for showing it Joshua.
I've been very busy; I see I have homework to do (videos to catch up on.) I really like the traditional approach. As usual, a lot of material to absorb! Another home run. Hope you and yours are well. 👍
Your forester shelter is a slick setup with the way the front and back were done as is the toggles for tie outs. Never thought about that. Thanks Josh.
Nice shelter great job. That Toggle Buckle system is awesome. Cool knife too!
Always haters no matter where you go...... good job brother, I would’ve done everything exactly the same way.....according to one post we may get an insect bite so we need to stay in the house till the insects go to sleep.....wow....some people have never left the concrete jungle and don’t have a clue....thanks again...
Sad to think there are people, hell maybe MOST people that have never slept under the stars, never been awed by the Milky Way, never knocked snow off their sleeping bag in the morning, never slept under a shelter they built while Mother Nature pummeled them from above.
Genius! You did do a funny that could have been black and white! :)
Well done from a 7th man. I can always keep learning and find new ideas for my Boy Scouts. Trying to find that top
I have been watching your videos all morning and when you where making the tent stakes the first thing that came to mind was "punji sticks". I also totally agree with you about people that buy 200 and 300 dollar knives and never use them. I used my PLSK 1 for years and after moving and having my storage broken in to I was thinking it was gone so I bought a PKS Grizzly to replace it. The next day my wonderful wife informed me that she had removed it from my pack (that was stolen) and put it in the tote marked office supplies. My PLSK 1 is now my back-up blade.
Just love your vids. Thanks. DOL
Very nice. I really appreciate you taking the time and effort with the button tensioner. Time to practice that one. Thanks for what you have done and for what you do now. NLV references and all.
Love it Man! Dave and that tarp is what got me vested a few years back...diggin the toggle tutorial and humor
Joshua, thanks for sharing and bringing us along. God bless brother !
Where in the Adirondacks approximately?
I lived in Russell, NY for about 12 years in St. Lawrence Co.
I tapped out and moved south over a decade ago!
Those long, cold winters and endless grey days are too much on my disorders!
I love the 2 or 3 weeks of summer and those native brookies in the spring❤
Nice! Subbed. Looking forward to the rest 👍🔥👍
I've learned a lot from your videos, and I thank you for doing them. This looks like a good system, and I can't wait until I get a chance to try it out. I'm also in NY State, but western NY, not the Adirondack region. I like that your videos more or less match up with my environment. A lot of other Bush craft channels are in terrain that I just don't see around where I live. The skills still apply obviously, but it's nice to see ones that are set in familiar environments. It just makes it seem more relevant and easier to identify with for me, especially when it comes to raw materials like tinder, shelter building, etc. I appreciate your taking the time and effort to teach us, and sharing your knowledge with us. I've hiked and camped for years, but the ideas you've shared have allowed me to try new and different things, and expanded my own knowledge base. Thank you.
Josh, your superb shelter setup will keep you bone dry in a tropical downpour and very comfy !
Cherry is a pretty reliable wood. Tough dense and very rot and wear resistant. Old dead cherry trees can stand for years even decades. There’s a reason cherry wood floors in old houses even almost 100 years old ar still great. They can splinter but no rot.
The anvil question made me laugh. When I was a kid I wondered the same thing about cranes 😁.
Excellent set up
Great information! Love the video! It is nice that everyone learns how to do these things and the knowledge and skills are greatly appreciated.
The problem I've found with bushcraft being so popularized within the last 10 years is this:
Most people do not have the land to practice on. This then leads them to head to their nearest National Forest and in more than a couple of States there is only one. The easy access primitive camp sites near the road have been destroyed and cut up. The number of small Oak, Walnut, Maple and Beech trees being cut down to make primitive shelters is beyond counting. Bark off of huge trees has been stripped in areas for the shelters and people cut into them with their hatchets leading to their death and a real dangerous camp site. This may be something worth mentioning.
Great video! Keep up the work!
thank you for sharing ....I appreciate your knowledge.
Great video
silky hand saws are the best
Love the Ninja test for the pegs 😀👍
man i got a lot to learn and collect , i only have a few bits and pieces, i want to be able to go bush permenatly and have a small bug out kit too , you have helped hugely in a very short time.
Excellent video Josh. I have never seen toggles used like that before. Good information. I couldn't help but chuckle when you gave your reasoning for cutting the Cherry the way you did. It put a picture in my mind of someone sitting on a limb and sawing it next to the tree trunk 😂🤣. Really enjoying this series.
Dang I should have tried that. Would have been hilarious
I love the setup!!! Toggle systems clever!🤘🏼
Solid video. Great content for the community. These are excellent campcraft ideas.
Nice setup! I really like the shelter and the way you used toggles.
Man, it's like watching bob Ross paint, very relaxing
Great presentation, as always.
Real nice,Clark
Great shelter set up! Beautiful location!
Terrific job. Always appreciate you time!!
Nice!
Nice, I really liked the toggle system as well, thanks for the video.
Sillky's are great but for the bigger stuff I prefer Husqvarna! I know not a bushcraft saw but........also love the Christmas Vacation reference one of my favorites!!
My favorite movie to date. I don’t know how many times I reference it in videos and classes
Where did you acquire you vast wealth of knowledge sir. Love your videos.
#NinjaTest had me laughing. I feel like I should just be hangin in the woods more often. Headed to Indiana soon. Your profession is an excellent choice sir!
Good video. You were hilarious today
Thanks brother! I enjoyed myself doing this series. Glad folks are enjoying watching it because this is how I want to keep doing them.
bloody nice set up.
This is what people used to do for entertainment. Living in the woods it is a sin to use those phones! Great to have one for emergencies, texting works well, but to play a radio or computer is just not at all cool. Lots of things to do and learn to include awareness of every little thing. Start seeing and hearing and smelling for the first time in one's life!
Can't you just see him practicing throwing those stakes into the ground, challenging his partners? If they weren't bone tired and needing to eat and sleep. Food tastes great! Sleep is wonderful...in the wilderness. Having a dog or two and horses as guards makes for a deep sleep.
When in the wilderness, one just is unable to get bored. That phone stays in your pack. Period!
The two times I used the phone to get an important appt. I got hurt and had to get to the hospital 10 or so miles away with 2 horses. Once with a collapsed lung and 3 broken ribs. The second time another couple of ribs. The moral of the story is, when you lose awareness even for a few minutes, you can get hurt or die. Awareness is the key to survival...even in the cities.
@@clairevyanse5645 I put myself in your shoes and I totally agree. Whittling and learning knife skills and practicing throwing those little spears while listening to the bird calls (the telegraph like cone of information being communicated), seeing the tiny world all around you, smelling the strangers in the middle world and registering what is happening 5 miles away...learning to READ the wilderness daily newspaper which is tracking are essential skills to know to survive in the wilderness. Best way to start to get back to the language of the wilderness. Learn how to track. Start seeing and hearing again.
I am not controlled by the normal modicums any more, grins! I am sorry if I was not very professional with my answer.
Thank you for all the information and showing us how you do this.
Very informative and educational. Thank you very much
I love some people comments . he's going more traditional not modern . thanks for the update on your camp your building
Looks good
KUDOS!!! A most outstanding job, J. Semper Fi.
First off I'd like to say thanks for your service! New Subscriber! Good video! As a handicapped outdoorsman this is one of my preferred shelter setups as it gives me plenty of room for gear and my pack dog. Again man great video!
Welcome to the channel!
I just started my own and have only recently got into the whole TH-cam thing so it's been really cool finding the other guys into this and what they do! Very cool man!
I like your videos I like to start getting into Bushcraft. I was wondering why hang your backpack from a rope why not just hang it from one of the branches you cut?The stuffed bag with leaves looks pretty comfy. If you can find some long saplings in the spot you want to camp you can fold them over and tie them together to make a tent.
Awesome!
Happy Thanksgiving
Great vid
Thank you so much!
WOW thats awesome for permanent camp Haha really cool man love your insight and knowledge wish i had time and money to attend the Pathfinder school, thanks for sharing like always 👍
Very cool. Nice solid shelter.
Nice Lampoons Vacation reference. “That’s real nice Clark” hahaaa.
Dude! Your a very cool cat! I enjoy your video's often. Here comes the but, making the anvil. Just split the wood, trim it down, done.
Nahhhh I wasn’t in any hurry and that was a new hatchet, I was enjoying using it for the first time. Plus that same motion is used for taking off bulk when making a kuksa and many other things. No time wasted when spent in the woods
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret 10-4 no such thing as waisted time in the woods. Train on👍
I like that set up.
Thanks for the demo....gonna give it a try.
Awesome
11:05 how the hell did you train that frog? Mesmerizing videos, looking forward to the apocalypse.
I knew I'd find this comment.
Oh I like. It looks like the same technique can be used in plow point configurations
Very informative as usual.
Always improving, eh Josh? 👍 I can hardly wait to see what Fort BFR looks like once you have it fully fleshed-out. All my best to the Enyart clan up there.
Another great video thank you
You should look into them they are very helpful for emergencies
I can’t stop my leg... I can’t stop my leg!
9:19 AKA Balance Test. Thanks for the vid!
Zoiks that’s slick.
Toggles. I need to make toggles!
Well executed,good info
Lol its not official without the "ninja test". Awesome channel, thank you.
All stakes must undergo rigorous testing and strict quality control
Nice configuration....!!!
Most awesome video Mr Green Beret thanks a lot looking forward to the next video. Ohhh Gamer49 lol his name says it all
Great video!
I'm gonna have to take a hard look at the GBGB puukko when it comes out.....I'm loving my kamrat, and it looks to be a little larger for heavier tasks...
It is very similar to the Kamrat but quite a bit bigger. Very close in feel
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret yeah, I really like the looks of it from this side of the camera. I've been using the kamrat pretty exclusively (while on dry land) for the past year. It has performed great, but can be a little small for some tasks. I always have my parang, so I get by....but another slightly larger puukko would be nice, if it had the same quickness/handiness of the kamrat...
Ninja Test! 🥷
Ninja test! 😂
