Hi Clarise, baie dankie vir jou goeie videos. I stay in the desert part of South Africa. I was privileged to know a bushman in my child years. He use to show me a lot of things that I would like to test out more. One of the things to stay warm is that he just took 2 steenbok hides. Then he get a fire going with 2 flint rocks. He use the fire to warm the ground to sleep on. If it was realy cold he used to bary the coles in thick sand and put his one hide to sleep on top of. I have a tradition of primitive living also in my family and starting to practice that now in my life. Looking forward to see more videos. God bless you and your family.
Hi there! I love hearing stories of primitive survival, we can apply the principals in outdoor adventures with our modern gear. I've tried using hot rocks from a fire in my shelters before and I've even made fire in a Dixie tin and kept it in a shelter. I think the embers in the ground are great too. With a roof top tent we just need to be careful of fire hazards. Tent fabrics are quite flammable in my experience, so if we can heat something and bring it into the tent with relatively low risk that's ideal. The closest I can come to solving this problem is a hot water bottle. Any other ideas?
I have little to no experience with modern tents and not able to provide useful ways from experience nor from stories. I prefer primitive and camp with just my cow hides and have the beautiful stars as my tent. I grow up on a farm in namakwaland (Western / Northen cape border in South Africa). Here I was privilaged to spend time with people that grow up harshly and know how to survive with almostly nothing. Life is difficult here as it is semi desert, and water is the most valuable asset here. So water is always the nr1 priority. Our winters here is not that cold, only have a few nights with minus tempritures. We use a clay oven to bake bread and know how long clay retains heat. As we have a lot of clay everywere, the people used it as an electric banket. If you make a fire ontop of the clay ground, then the clay glound will keep you warm for at least 3 to 6 hours. If the clay start to cool down, then you just start a fire and move the coles and have a fuly chared electric banket 😂 From 2020 I am back on the farm and work remotely. I am in cyber security and love both exteams, but prefer no tech. Now I am learning and explore all the skills on the farm. My aim is to be 100% self sufficient and have a comunity that can cover everything. Ps, I love the koue bokkevelt and like it that you make videos of places close to my hart. Thank you for your chanel, that inspire others to "live ready". Hugo
@@hugoagenbag4801 Hi Hugo! I love the insights you're sharing and thanks for the information. It's really interesting that the clay ground retains heat for so long and I'll be sure to try your primitive electric blanket the next time I find myself on a bush camp. Thanks for supporting the channel!
@@LiveReady Yeah it is always good Clarise to try new things. We never know when it might come in handy. These forgotten skills, like hide tanning, tallow soap making, bushcrafting, blacksmith, wilderness survival, seed saving ext, are the best insurance policy what we can get. As well as reference books. The story of the 17 year old Juliane Koepcke that survived the Amazone jungle for 11 days after her pane crashed. She was the only survivor that made it out alive, she survived as she had real live survival and buschcraft experience. I realy like what you do with the "live ready" chanel that you base everything on the Byble and getting people to get ready and live ready for what is to come. All the best for the week ahead. God bless.
Oh great suggestion, I hadn't even thought of that. Even parking in a lower area where cold air accumulates or closer to water would affect the temperature a little and make for a colder camp. Thanks!
Great video. Recommend buying a 12- 24vdc converter and wiring it up to your battery. You can charge at around 250 watts while running you vehicle which will be a good backup to charge you EcoFlow. Stay safe!
Some good tips there. I still try to comprehend the pros of sleeping in a roof tent, instead of sleeping on top of the camping box in the rear part of an SUV (there's plenty of space in the Land Cruiser)
Sounds like you're kitted out! I think we all just try different things until we find what we like best. I think a roof top tent makes it feel a bit more like tent camping than in the back of the cruiser. But again, each to his own 😉
👍 Really good tips. Thank you. Who doesn’t like a young lady who goes out in a snow storm to chill a few bottles of beer? You never did show us how well that worked.
Well shot, useful and informative as always. Cat is not impressed .😂 I havent tried it yet, but considering adding to my winter kit the Zartek ZA310 handwarmer / powerbank for when a fire is absolutely impossible, any experience with it? I'm also of the opinion that those "thermal" liners are moslty snake oil. Great vid! Keep up the good work. Enjoy the rest of your Sabbath 🙏
Nelis... 🤗You should have stayed for the solo survival, it was a splash😅😂! I certainly appreciate anything that has the ability to warm you without having to make fire after that, even though I haven't tried the ZA310. Like you say, sometimes it's just not possible or your fire making fails because it's too wet. Can't make fire in a roof top tent either. As for the liner🤔 I'd take it over nothing. That mylar sleeping bag worked a treat on the extreme survival even though it crinkles all night. I think I had the liner in it and it was comforting. Layers work for me but I suppose not everyone needs them. So we continue to conduct experiments in the outdoors...
@@LiveReady Oh I'm not throwing away my liners, they do definitely do something, but their rated extra degrees are highly debatable, I've run some tests in the backyard. I also used mine on the extreme and almost every other expedition. I wasnt feeling quite as brave as you and the mylar sheet! I do firmly believe in layering, there is no better or more versatile way. Sorry I missed the splash! 🤣..not
@@nelistheron83 lekker lag ek nou vir jou🤣 I must go buy a cast net I don't think we would have eaten if not for your tuition. Working on a video about it all too. Should be fun to watch.
I have to laugh, maybe because I'm from Canada and we actually do get real winters here but I think that even at -20 C and a quarter of the insulation you're using I would probably be hot enough to boil lobsters in my bed! Also, I think another reason that the street people do so well in the cold is that they have gotten comfortable at not being comfortable. Sometimes it just depends how you view your circumstances. Great video!
Jesus! How many blankets do you have? 😅...Just got back from a backcountry hunting trip in British Columbia. -10 C and I was soaking wet. Only had my sleeping bag rated for that temperature. Yes it was cold but all that gear to go camping?...better harden your body with ice bathing and rolling your self in snow...

Wow thank you for such brilliant ideas. 😎
You're so welcome 🤗
Would love to see more videos about the roof top tent. ❤ Bless you
Will be sure to make some more, thanks for the suggestion!

@@hugoagenbag4801 thank you, and I hope you have a blessed week too!
Outstanding video- very informative
Thanks so much!
@@LiveReady my pleasure
A good thing todo that makes a huge difference is park vehicle behind a wind break instead of out in the open.
Oh great suggestion, I hadn't even thought of that. Even parking in a lower area where cold air accumulates or closer to water would affect the temperature a little and make for a colder camp. Thanks!

Always good to have multiple contingency plans. Thanks for recommending it!

😂 I have some pics I'm sure, keep an eye out for them on Instagram... Who doesn't like a cold beer!
@@LiveReady Instagram? I am barely on Facebook. 😂😂😂
Everyone I know likes cold beer! 👍

Steady now 😉
Die kat is oulik, maar waar is Indi ?

Thanks! Frame of reference plays a big role here. -4°C around here is considered an existential threat 😅😜
Do you have tips for taking your cat with you ? 🙈 I have a cat also but stil a stuggle should I take her with me 😅
