Canvas tarp now available, here is the link m.pomoly.com/Canvas-Wolf-Den-Tarp-10x10-ft-for-Solo-Bushcraft-and-Camping-Lonewolf-902-p1554925.html
That's a good price too. I see it's a blended material - still good around the fire?
Yes excellent around fire and a great price
@@Lonewolfwildcamping I'd make sure to state to your people make sure its quality steel otherwise you'll be sharpening nonstop when talking about what kinda knives to get
Why isn't this tarp available anymore?
"If you do not know how to light fire with a fire steel ... do not go outdoors" I lost it. Great video Lonewolf.
Thanks 🔥😁
@@Lonewolfwildcamping I love that too! 👍🏿 😁 🔥 🌿🏕️
This was my first time watching one of your videos and I just want to say that I do prefer your teaching style over many of your competitors/peers. Really low key and "approachable".
Thank you very much.

Somehow he manages to get people excited about starting a bushcraft adventure. Simple and down to earth. It shows he knows what he is talking about.
Nothing better than being outdoors 👍😄
This is the first time I subscribed to a bushcraft channel. And you started a fire in a single take. No fumbling around. ❤
Absolutely, thank you
I like how you stress the importance of having kit that is versatile and can do multiple jobs. That wok would be a useful helmet in a hailstorm :)
Thank you, multifunction use items rock 👍😄
So easy to cook and not lose any food over the edges 😁🤙
personally i find the better you are at bushcraft the more multipurpose items you have.
@@Lonewolfwildcamping could you share a link for the wok?
Sorry , no link available
Canvas and wool blanket = pay off between fire safe and weight.. Love the way you make your own stuff, use whats at hand and not just another sales person pretending to be a bush/wilderness trainer..
Thanks alot
Love the simplicity and honesty - rock on :)
Thanks so much I appreciate it alot
Wow! Thank you! Your video is refreshingly different than a typical "what's in my backpack" video. Very informative and very helpful.
Very happy you liked it
Love the video
Absolutely agree. He answered a lot of small random questions I had that weren't important, but still good knowledge. Its also cool to see someone all tattooed and "alternative", rather than some dude in all camo with a john deere hat on haha 😁
For a beginner I’d recommend only a few things to get Started as you don’t know wether you’ll like it or not. A knife, clipper or bic lighter, some cord and a cheap water proof tarp. (all can be found on Amazon but make sure you read the reviews obviously) Dw about mess tins and the like as you don’t want to spend to much on gear for the first night as watching a video of someone experienced and actually doing it urself are completely different so just bring ready to eat food with you. hope this helps. Watch the whole video tho obviously dude knows his stuff
Edit. make sure you do ur first night in summer as-well you’ll enjoy it way more but pack a coat for the early morning as it can get quite nippy
Yeah, that's some very solid advice there. Also, for a first timer, I'd recommend bringing a buddy. Can help a lot to have a friend around the first time you go out.
If you’re human than you’ll like bushcraft. Amazon reviews are faked a lot so that’s unreliable. Bushcraft is pretty simple and for some of us lucky ones our parents and/or grandparents taught us the rudimentary skills.
Agreed
I always bring stormproof matches and a bic lighter when I go out. I have my flint abd my ferro rod of course but you always want backups.
Awsome 👍🔥
I'd recommend that you also add a " I.F.A.K."
(Individual First Aid Kit) !
Especially when you have any items that can make you bleed.
Always always always PACK A LIGHTER if you can. Everyone is a master bushcrafter until they injure their hand.
I am binge watching and enjoying your videos very much. I have “never” been camping a day in my life, but l do enjoy the process of it. I am living out my camping fantasies through your videos 🙂 thank you for taking us on your journeys.
Thanks alot for enjoying
Thank you so much for enjoying
Get out there and enjoy the woods. It doesn’t take much to get started with enough basic gear for an overnight or two night camp out at a quiet state park or something.
Good info! Thanks for your time!
I would recommend several cotton handkerchiefs. Cheep and many many uses like wrapping sewing kit, water filtration, use as a washcloth, use a dark colored one as an emergency butt wipe. and so many more uses. Of course also blowing of the nose.
😄 excellent
🤣🤣
Yer man wicked tips.
Emergency butt wipe comes in handy........... from experience
You are one undeniable advantage of this tarp does not make noise like synthetic counterparts.
Call me old school, but I agree with the natural products. The wool, and canvas, makes the most sense, for sleeping, and shelters, and can be easily repaired as well. Also Wool is highly mould resistant and water resistant naturally as well. Canvas will last forever and just take care of the equipment, buy it one time, and yer done. never need to replace them at all.
Thanks, I must agree with you
I’m only 3 minutes in but this Nearly 47 minute video seems so full of information. Love it. Even just explaining the tarp, he explained everything you’d need to know and think about and why he did what he did. Love this
Appreciate this video. You should start a bushcraft school your a great teacher in the art of bushcrafting. I always learn a lot from your video's. Thanks brother for taking the time to share your expertise with us.
Thank you veru much
I second that!
Love it. 😊👍 As you say a lot, you can find most gear really cheap, but there is one thing you should not buy cheap. Your choice of foot wear.
I cracked up when you put the wok in the pack like a helmet.
✨ Tactical Wok ✨
Multi purpose.
But yes i second everyone else saying you should start a bushcrafting class. I would 100% watch. I get pretty bored when most people try to explain. You're straight, to the point, and make great suggestions. You have a wonderful teachers air about you. Thank you for this video.
Thank you, I appreciate it 😁🏕👍
Good information especially for beginners Jeremy!
Remember the 5-Cs:
Cutting Tools (fixed blade knife/folding saw), Combustion Device (ferro rod), Cover (tarp/sleep), Container (single wall metal bottle), Cordage (#550-cord)
Thank you 🤙😄
That was one hell of a tutorial for beginning bushcraft. You should Have something like this for your grand prize it would help somebody like me who's just now getting into it. Once again thank you for taking the time to educate those of us who appreciate it....
TomNAnita
Thank you very much and I'm really happy the video helped you
Now getting into it? Lol it’s not some trend silly doll. It is a skill set. You don’t “get into it” you learn it.
@@Gadmeer lol ... relax man ... your going to die at that stress level
@@Gadmeer I bet this guy has never left his bedroom lol
Great knowledge shared...and I'll keep it going with my 2 children..I'm teaching them life skills... 🐠 Ing..trapping.. shelters..and last but not least...Love for our country... including respect for our Serving and Fallen soldiers and all branches of first responders...We The People!!!
Just like a butcher would sharpen his best knife until the end, watching something you cherish getting worn out and old, although it perfectly does the job, makes you proud.
Absolutely 😊🤙
The little pruning saws work well also. I love my Bahco Laplander. I also recommend a large silky saw. Safe firelighting pracice in the back yard is great fun.
A good and cheap alternative for europeans are EKA saw's, cheaper and lighter than Bahco and Silky, and has replaceable blades too. Comes with three blades (metal/wood/bone)
Hey a novice friend of mine mentioned this vid as being easy to take in and I’d say it is decently done and thought out. As long as the 5 c’s of survivability are met you’ll have a good range of gear. Also it’s unnecessary to buy dollar store or high end grade equipment. The more you know the less you carry ~MK
Thank you for enjoying 🤙
Bushcraft is the Craft of fashioning everything you need in the Bush. A good knife and hatchet and the world is yours.
You’re so so cool!!! 🏴🥺❤️💪🏼🤘🏼
🤙
I appreciate that you emphasize the functionality but also mention the aesthetics of the items you use.
Thank you 😊
I've always been impressed with how perfectly proportionate your gear load is. As I've made the transition from, primarily "survivalist" to "bushcrafter", it's been harder than expected, but well worth not sleeping with the bugs. I always enjoy videos, where you break things down, I know it really helps me make informed decisions much easier. Thanks for the video, stay safe out there and God bless!
There are so many different ways to approach bushcraft and all are very interesting
Don't sleep with the bugs, cook and eat the bugs.
I'm a old Marine n a life long out doorsman your video is the best I've seen. Thanks...
Thank you
This video is full of so many good hidden tips... throw gravel in the pot to clean it out? I never heard that one! Thanks boss...
Thanks for enjoying
This is by far one of the best Busch craft beginner videos I have seen and definitely sold on being a subscriber. I was tired of watching "What's in my bag videos" with nothing to show for it besides over priced gear. But this guy knows what he has and knows what he wants out of the things he owns.
Thank you, im glad you enjoyed the video and the information
Great video! It’s a refreshing change to watch a bushcraft channel that doesn’t make you feel like you’re not actually a bushcrafter if you don’t have a $$$$$ Granfors Bruk (spelling!) hatchet/axe! This doesn’t have to be expensive, and I thank you for making that clear! Keep up the good work, and may God bless!
I agree, the high dollar items with fancy names are just that... fancy names 👍
another tip is to bring a tampon. it’s made of cotton and it can be used for lighting a fire, filter water or cleaning up any cuts or wounds
Well done. Good personal approach with durable and versatile gear.
Thank you
Great video...my fave gear is stuff I buy at thrift shops or make myself..
When I buy new stuff I usually don't use it..keep up the great work
Best Guide Ever.
As for starting out, agree on the axes part. I'm not sure about general availability of morakniv in the US, but highly recommend the kansbol or similar as they're not expensive but can take a huge beating. You can split wood with it no problem, just sharpen it afterwards and you're good to go.
Also, I'd say that one knife is no knife. Always carry two, a good idea is to once again use a morakniv like the eldris which is small enough to wear around your neck like a necklace, also comes stock with a fire steel. Just tuck it inside your shirt and pull the chord, you want it tight.
Great video. A few months ago I camped under a tarp and had 'daddy long-leg' spiders crawling over my face while I slept. So one simple thing I've added for tarp camping is some kind of bug net, which can be as simple as a headnet.
that's like my problem, as well... i live in upstate ny, the heartland of lyme disease -carrying ticks... i LOVE the idea of a tarp shelter, but i think i'm going to have to stick with a tent... : (
Thank you for lots of important information this video is just what I need so I can start bush crafting safely- awesome 🤩
Thank you very much
Salute @Longwolf 902 from the USA 🇺🇸 I enjoy watching your videos I find them very informative and I always leaves with something new or a better way of doing things. 🤙🏾
A lot of tasty food for thought for a casual backpacker. Thanks man, really appreciate it.
Absolutely loved this video!! I’m a homeschool mom and each month we have a different theme for life skills. This month the theme is bushcraft and I LOVE the jute twine ideas!! My son is getting into more fire responsibility and he’s going to love this!! Also carrying a candle, definitely adding that to our packs.
Thank you, really glad it was helpful for you
Very well detailed and personalized video! Very long but intruiging!
Thanks alot
Thank you for your video.👍
What is allways do for firestarting is mix cottonball and vaseline. A few sparks and it burns. It is very hot and burns longer. And i use a little round small container to put vaseline in. And take that along. When nothing else works then you can use vaseline to make small wet wood burning.
What do have in your medical kit ?
10c are not singular items, just a reminder/recognition point to start. Ex. Combustion: Lighter, Ferro Rod, Matches. ONE "C", THREE items.
Very comprehensive, loved this. Has given me lots of ideas for my own kit.
Thank you, im glad the video could help you 👍
20 bucks says he's from canada with those "oots" 😂😂
Oot and aboot up here eh🇨🇦😄
🤙
I lived in Glace Bay for about 4 months back in 98' bad ass videos!!!
Professor of bushcraft 😃
😁😁😁
You do good work, brother. Thoroughly informative. Always taking me to school. Plus, I constantly run into bushcraft vernacular on your vids that I was completely unaware of. Much obliged 🙏👊
Thanks alot. Always nice to help others
Love the canvas+wool sleeping system! Seems a lot easier to pack and maintain than actual sleepingbags. I think I'm going to adopt that idea! As for knives, axes and saws. I got myself a hefty knife and a small swiss army knife, which I love, as you can use the reamer/awl and mini saw to also bore small holes (up to 10 mm) in wood. I do like the chisel set, tho I've been using a small compact gouge (pfeil gouge), very small and very durable and feels very nice in the hand. I kinda do like that you have a roll of different types of chisels. I might make a roll for my set at some point, but for know my chisels just stay at home at the shop haha. As for a saw, I just bring a (cheapish) off-brand pocketboy-style folding saw that I got at my local hardware store. Love it and I think it's a lot easier to work with than those bow saws (foldable or not), but that's just personal preference.
Something else I do love to have with me is just a roll of regular aluminium foil. There's very many great uses for that when outdoors and it's also very cheap and lightweight. Great to make a small oven, heat reflector (on the other side of the fire, up against a windblocker if you make one for your fire), food preparation, sharpening, cleaning, or even removing some rust from tools if there's ever a need, which there SHOULDN'T, but yeah, ya never know). Pretty much what you'd also use the steel wool for I guess, but it has a few more uses.
Oh and almost forgot, I love the cooking system you got there, a kettle and a wok even. But I honestly, just bring a steel single walled canteen that I can put in the fire most of the time. and either stake my meat, or just find a flat stone to put in the fire to cook on top and if I can't find those, use the aluminium foil.
WOW! As a retired Survival Instructor that still peruses TH-cam videos on the subject, I really enjoyed your video. This video is very well done.
There is so many videos that drone on about Bushcraft that very few stand out. What makes your videos stand out is your explanations as to why you choose your gear. Viewers may not agree with your choice, but at least they can bounce their choices off of a well thought out alternative.
The other thing that makes this a great video is that you are well spoken. Not a lot of "Ummm", "Uhhhh", or stupid sayings like "Know what I mean?" The distractions are not there so it's easy to follow.
The waxed bed roll is brilliant. Had not seen that before and makes perfect sense. I would have added the fact that if you stuff the bed roll with lots of duff and leaves, it will in fact raise you off the ground insulating you AND keeping you up off the ground.
'you're workin on projects...' & I straight away thought - Punisher! lol! great vid -you're level 50 barbarian/craftsman in this mmorpg...
😊🤙👍
Long as you have the 10 Cs then you're basically set. It's then all about price point...
🤙😃
It is the 5 c’s of survivability. Beyond that is pure luxury :D
All the beginner gear you laid out, that's fitting in that pack? Also, a list of the gear would be great! Outstanding video, thank you! Getting that tarp soon!
Yes all of the gear i laid out fits inside the pack
I love it if something does go wrong on on your 3 day trip you’ll survive and good month or 2 but add a fishing rod and your completely Golden aye
For the pants , I would use a similar pant BUT i would like it to have 4-6 pockets , it would be VERY useful that way.
Awsome 🤙
Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favourites....and this video really confirms this...I enjoyed your honesty and openess about high end branded items...but also your practical sense on teaching your children basic life skills that I do believe have been lost in today's society..just wondering what are your thoughts about assembling a basic med kit to bring from beginners..although I do know this can be a very personal item list that should be studied well before going out on any outdoor adventure...wishing you more power and success moving forward....greetings from Vancouver BC...stay safe and healthy during these times...God bless...you and family.... Dan
Thank you very much. Im very happy to hear you enjoy the channel so much. I may do a medical video soon in the future
Dude, you checked all the boxes for my questions. Thanks for this honest vid!
Subscribe from me
Thank you very much and I'm happy to help
I also carry steel wool, (fine) not only can you keep the rust at bay, it can also be used to start fire, hit it with sparks from your fire steel believe it or not it is very flammable when it catches blow on it, you'll get flame very easy. It also catches if you touch it with the + and - of a 9 volt battery.
Excellent item
No words. Awesome! 🙌🏼
Great vid and a very good message. Your gear doesn't have to be the best of most expensive, it just needs to be taken care of and last for a good while.
That being said, investing in decent quality gear ends up to be cheaper in the long run as it lasts longer.
I have Spyderco's and an Essee 4 & 5 that I bought cause I could and I wanted them, but I hardly use them.
My go too knives are my Cold Steel Kudu and SR1 for folders and my SRK (SK5 steel) and Schrade SCHF26 for fixed blades as they are near indestructible.
I've taken a lot of flack and sarcastic comments from knife steel and gear snobs on bushcrafting weekends due to my choices, but I don't really care. My gear and knives are tested and I know I could stake my life on them and that's what's important.
A lot of these guys will pull out fat rope sticks and fancy fire starters while I use waxed jute or vaseline and cotton pads and mine work as well and often better than theirs.
Too many bushcrafters on TH-cam will use pricey gear from Pathfinder and other retailers and that often puts off beginners as they don't have the ability to pay that much for gear.
You did great to show how you can really kit yourself out well without breaking bank.
Bushcrafting at its core has nothing to do with gear , but instead enjoying nature. 🌲😁
I'm impressed by your fluency. Stay free
'fun and satisfying' fantastic words to describe what bushcrafting should be.
😊😊😊
and if you have the skills you can bushcraft with just an axe or knife alone
I agree
@@Lonewolfwildcamping of course it will be very Darwinian to not bring first aid alongside too
Underrated comment. Not only should you ALWAYS carry a first aid/ifak but you NEED to know how to use it!
Great video! Really useful information, just a random question, I've been watching quite a lot of bushcraft/camping videos lately and I don't think I've seen magnetic sheaths being used. Wouldn't that be really useful? Like the sheath on your belt, if it had some magnetic strips sewn into it in a way that the magnets don't directly touch the knife, it would still be as accessible as it is now but more secure/less prone to falling out. Just wondering if I'm missing some obvious reason for magnetic sheaths being so rarely used.
Thank you, not a bad suggestion with the magnets but a good quality sheath is really difficult to drop a knife from
I've actually never thought of using magnets for that tbh!
Generally sheaths just fit snugly and use friction to keep the knife inside, most of the time (part of) the handle also goes inside to make that even better. I've yet to have any knife just fall out.
I tried this once when I was younger. At night I was cold and I didn't sleep. The fleas chewed on me all night!
However, you demonstrate well just how little you NEED. Sometimes the best is not expensive. This concept applies to travel too! After some trial and error you find what works.
Check out a Dry Wall Hammer! Part hatchet part hammer. A $13 14 inch Machete does multi-duty. If you can get a good one, a small stainless steel bucket hauls water and cooks food etc.
Thanks for the vids! If nothing else it's a wonderful thought experiment!
J'ai fait beaucoup de camping avec mes parents, puis seul dès 14 ans et j'approuve ta demarche simple et efficace. Le but c'est de profiter de la nature, pas de s'encombrer de gadgets inutiles et cher. L'esprit pratique est plus important que tout... Merci

Here it is 🤙🤩
Opening your video, I thought that it will be the same as hundreds existing on youtube.
But after canvas tarp and pack I appreciated the quality of ideas, thank you!

Yes 🤙🇨🇦🍁
well done, good instructions, very knowledgeable and down to earth reality...
This is the Best video on Bushcrafting i've seen so far..
Thanks 😊
At last! This is an informative video that does what it says on the tin, and NOT a shameless advertisement for 'sponsors'. Thank you and well done! Yes, I've subscribed.
This is a very valuable resource for someone like me who is absolutely brand new to bushcraft! I think I would opt to bring a piece of tar soap and some toilet paper, though. For a little bit of extra hygiene or in case I need to disinfect a wound.
While I agree that you should know how to use a ferro rod I also see it more as a backup solution when the lighter is wet.
🤙🔥
Great presentation covering the basics.
Never went camping without a tent. I want to be protected 360 degrees
Good no nylon no plastic very life like.
I love the idea making items instead buying. Instead ricing brands telling how to this how to that is the real deal, most people thinks ferro rods and feathersticks but knowing the area what to eat what to avoid etc. are real skills in my opinion
A tarp that big, you can bring that frame closer to the edges, lash a cross-beam to it and guy the tip out, creating an awning
Mate - This was well done... No BS... Thank you...
No problem 👍
As boots go, look for boots marketed to loggers rather than ones marketed to hikers. In my experience they are much higher quality at a more affordable price.
I agree, I love heavy duty hoots
Loved the video helped me understand what gear is good and what you can start with for when i wanna go out and enjoy the nature so thanks for that Lonewolf 👍😊
I'm really enjoying all your videos. Appreciate that you "TALK" to us about what you doing. Watched others videos and don't understand what going on because they silent. First of yours was the one where you built a suspended, covered bed, and covered fire with wind block. So excited I saved it and had my hubby watch it, too. He thinks I'm funny because we both 77 and will Shelter In if and when TSHTF. But we did build GHB's for our vehicles, so I believe if we more than a day away from home we will need to know how to Make Camp for the night. We used to camp back in the Olden Days, in fact, we started our marriage honeymoon by a camping trip around The Loop in Washington State. Borrowed his Dad's pickup and my Dad's tent and all their other gear we needed. Oh yeah, and took our 3 little boys with us, too. My 1 and his 2. What great memories! We need to take some things out of our GHB's and add some things I've learned from you. Thank you for your Service to our Country and for all your training in Videos. Love seeing your boy/young man with you and how close you are! Happy New Year to you and yours!
I bought a $100+ US MERRILL pair of hiking boots. It caused health problems. Best boots were my steel toed leather work boots with thick sole.
I like the way you think... definitely one of the best channels for bushcraft on the tube. Thanks for sharing your wisdom honed knowledge.
Now I want to do this craft I love making things and this is the first Time I've heard of Bush crafting it's so cool...
Thanks for the great video. Really appreciate the level of instruction.
Most Excellent Presentation, … many years of observing/reading about “BASICS” … i thoroughly enjoyed ALL of this video. (It was long but I played at 1.25X speed 🫣🤣)
Only a few minutes in and already I probably gonna need a sewing machine 😂
I'm thinking to try bush crafting ! Your video was very informative and helpfull. Thanx man for explaining the basics.I hope I will survive my first bushcrafting,,😆
🤙
Really like you using natural materials. It enhances the experience by making us more connected to nature and improves rustic skills which helps make us pro at outdoors.
Totally awesome! Thanks
