A LOT Mel! A LOT! We are so humbled by it too! Thank you for coming! What did you think of the first overnight bushcraft shelter? I really enjoyed it, but I also enjoy the hot fire in the canvas tent too! Hahaha! Cheers! //derek
Thanks so much for the encouragement Glenn! Do you do bushcraft too? Any tips, tricks or adventures you’d like to see this winter? I’m hoping to build some sort of structure to sleep in overnight when it’s really cold… we’ll see how it plays out 😉. Thanks for joining! //derek
Howdy right back at ya Kentucky! Really glad you enjoyed it. We feel the videos are getting better and better, so don’t hold the old ones against us! 😅😅
Great episode, bud! Much more commentary in this one! Well done! You are inspiring me to make video's for this winter Two Youtes shanty rentals back on this end of Canada. Cheers bud !
Hi Derek! Enjoyed the video very much! Glad I can take that trip with you while I’m sitting in front of my woodstove! The days of roughing it are over for me! Take care and see you on the next one!
I love that I can create an atmosphere where you can be along with me, Terry! It’s such an incredible feeling knowing that people are along for the ride!
Hey there! Wool blankets (one under your sleeping bag and one on top of your sleeping bag) are great for extra warmth. Fresh change of wool socks at bedtime also help when the temps dip.
I’ve also never had a campfire ember burn a hole through an expensive wool jacket 😉 Wool also retains, I think, 80% of its insulative properties when wet.
Wool is the way to go. In temperatures like this, cotton kills. Another thing I’d like to try would be a hide blanket of some sort. Especially for a base layer. I’ve got a black bear hide in the freezer and will try my hand at tanning it in the spring. A caribou hide is on the top of my bucket list though.
Jay suggested your channel so I’m a new subscriber here from Fife in Scotland. I had never heard of bannock so had to google it 😂. Apparently they originated in Scotland and bannach is a Gaelic word meaning morsel and was cooked on a griddle called a bannock stone. It looks a bit like what we have here called butteries and in Aberdeenshire are called rowies.
I absolutely love Scotland. I made it as far as Edinburgh and would love to venture back someday. Maybe play a round in St. Andrew’s 😅. I would love to try out a butteries recipe if you’re willing to share a traditional one with us! Cheers and Welcome! //derek.
Would you be able to try a self-feeding campfire ? Some design that has two ramps that are setup across from each other and loaded up with even sized wood logs which meet in the center. Or is that impossible with the random branch sizes you have to choose from?
That was a fantastic video! I watched until the end 😊 • You did much better with your first try at a reflector over than I did 👍🏻 • Name brand (Sgt. Knots etc) paracord is ‘spooled/wrapped’ so that it only unravels smoothly from one end. If you had grabbed the other tag end, it should have come off fine. Unless China didn’t get the memo 😂 • Never rely on a fire as your primary source of keeping you warm throughout the night unless you’re in a true survival situation. It’s your properly temperature rated sleeping bag that will guarantee a warm restful night. • Watch old Mors Kochanski (RIP) videos - Seriously! • Nice bushcraft version of SOS. I’d definitely eat that! I’m a good purist (lol) so I have to state this: The polite name for SOS, whose origin dates back to 1910, is creamed chipped beef on toast. Chipped beef is its own unique glorious form of beef and it should be respected and revered! 😂
I blame my sausage fingers for the paracord. Haha. I always start off with grabbing the right end but somehow twist it around itself when I’m working on something 🤦♂️. Thanks for the information! I’ll check out those videos for sure.
Jay brought me here... Who else? LOL

Good job, everyone has to learn, froze my ass off several times. Hang in there.

@ I believe the Baird brothers, at least Ted, has a bison hide…. apparently it’s incredibly warm!
@ yep definitely wool!
@@SubArcticAdventures
Ted Baird has a Musk Ox hide I believe and he uses it very successfully in cold weather
Great video! Wtg, love cooking over a fire!
There’s something to be said about the simply life! You’ve got a pretty good channel there too 😉
@ Thanks!

Definitely possible and is on the list of things to try for sure! What do they say about great minds… ? 😂🤣
