Solo Camping in Heavy Rain - Pup Tent Shelter, Bushcraft Cooking, Exploring Abandoned Camp
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2021
- Nicholas heads into the wilderness for a relaxing overnight camping trip, but gets caught in a heavy rain storm blowing in over the distant mountains.
Follow along in my first camping video in over a year as I enjoy some time in the bush setting up and testing out my new surplus pup tent, doing some camp cooking in a specially built cooking fire-pit, some bushcraft work resulting in a fire reflector; useful later as I battled a storm bringing with it so much rain it soaked through my felt hat, boiling up a pot of hot cowboy coffee, and more - all of which features tons of knife, saw, and axe work, and even some exploration of the local area where I find an old abandoned camp with many shelters, fire-pits, a log bench area, and other interesting remains.
Enjoy the video, and stay dry!

Good job son no preaching just hard work - gotta love it
Thank you! Can't wait to get back out filming
Through the magic of TH-cam I have been camping with people from all over the world.
Until now, I hadn't been invited to go camping in British Columbia.
It's beautiful.
Thanks.
Oh man! So happy to see you posting vids again! The atmosphere you create is so great I love it.
Thanks for coming back.
I'm currently editing 3 more, so stay tuned! I managed to find some old footage of a grouse hunting trip from 2019 filmed with (at the time) my new camera. I'm thinking about re-editing it and posting it since it's a decent video and I have no idea what happened to it on my channel. I may have accidentally deleted it. We'll see!
Sou do Brasil , adoro ver você acampar. Muito bonito o lugar . Parabéns , aprendo muito com você.
Coupled with the rain perfecting the situation when we are in the tent I am happy to listen to it🔥👍🏿✊🏿
What an amazing video. I am struck that you are doing all this camp stuff, while you also record it, and your recording skills are second to none. Great job! This is what I needed as I get ready for bed.
Thank you! That first day totalled around 18 hours of non-stop filming. It sure does take it's toll, so I am very happy to see it's being appreciated!
I agree. Absolutely beautiful cinematography.
And this is coming from someone who works in film…
@@user-ik7zb5bv7e Thank you, that means a lot!!
Just awesome! I need to get my pup tent out this year.
Thanks for the video
Nice trip young Nick. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love watching people set up their camps and start fires. There's something so fascinating about the process. Your filmmaking skills are fantastic... I'm enjoying this tremendously. The aesthetics are off the charts. LOVE this whole short. I worked in television and film production for 10 years and I give you huge kudos on your film.
Thank you so much! That means a lot! I appreciate when people can see the work that goes into the production side of making these videos, and not just for the content itself. It's a hell of a lot of work while out there filming it, and somehow even more while editing, haha!
I loved this silent adventure, it was because of your videos I have taken up bush craft as a new hobby, so in short thankyou.
I recommend Far North Bushcraft and Survival, Coalcracker Bushcraft, and Dave Canterbury to learn from. Be safe out there!
Excellent time out and a very interesting find. Great to see you back at it Nicholas.
Nate
Thanks for watching! Three more currently being edited, so stay tuned!
Love every secondof this!! TY!!!
Enjoy the new camping video! Stay tuned for more videos soon, and don't forget to like, share with friends, and comment about what you liked, disliked, or any feedback you'd like to give. It's greatly appreciated and helps keep these videos coming!

Oglądając Twoje filmy człowiek nabiera respektu do otaczającej przyrody. Dajesz dużo aspiracji do bycia dobrym przyjacielem przygody. Tworzenie historii jest sztuką która dajesz. Pozdrawiam i czekam na więcej tak wspaniałych filmów
Dziękuję Ci! Niedługo wypuszczę wiele innych filmów i wierzę, że również wam się spodobają. Doceniam opinie!
I watch a lot vids on camping in the outdoors. Yours are really interesting. Lot less nylon and a lot more natural goods and materials. Really something:)
Great job my friend, thanks for taking us along :-)
Thank you! More to come soon!
パップテント⛺️かっこいいですね😍👍🏻✨💕
焚き火🔥も楽しそうですね😊✨✨✨

awesome vid...thank U, Kolya
Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed your camp set up , simple to the point. Glad to see you eating better. Thank you for sharing . Like you I to wonder what tales the old camp could tell . OH these tired old eyes had a hard time reading the small print in your captions . May be just a little larger print please . Stay safe .
The fire-reflector was a bit useless, but fun to make nonetheless. I'll increase the print size in the next video, likely releasing in a week or two. Thanks for the feedback!
Great to see you back. Never forget "Three against the wilderness."
Great to be back! I recommend Richmond Hobson's book, "Grass Beyond the Mountains". It takes place in the 1930's north of where Eric Collier and his family homesteaded, and is where I live now. These videos take place right in the same, and vastly untouched country as the book does. It gives a nice bit of backstory to the area, and if you liked "Three Against the Wilderness", this book complements it greatly, with many locations shared between the two.
One day I plan to get down into the south Chilcotin and do some more videos around the Collier homestead. Thanks for watching!
@@wituikbws Looking for Hobson's book now. Thanks for the tip.
멋져요 👍🙋♀️
Great video, I particularly liked the sharing outs of the raindrops treading off of your tent and your respectful clean up of your camp. The scenery is so beautiful and your dinner looked delicious. Nicely done.
Thank you! Dinner was great for a tired and hungry man, but in reality I cooked the fish to the point if it being nearly dried. Filming and cooking is not an easy task, haha! Thanks for watching!
Great video….very relaxing!
Seru dan sangat menyenangkan
Great job
Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing👍
Thanks for watching!
You weren't kidding about taking advantage of your time off TH-cam! The videography, shot angles & framing, and editing are on a whole new level. It really brings out the best of the content itself. How did you like the tent? I've become a convert to canvas shelters, where possible. I like the better light blocking and in particular the softer, lower, and much quieter noises vs. synthetic materials. I also find I get more versatility out of the 2 piece shelters, and they can be configured in different ways. I really enjoyed the exploration part. Beautiful scenery and interesting finds. Looks like your camp fared very well given the weather that rolled in on you. Good luck on the hunt, and thanks for taking us along!
Thank you!! I try to be modest when I am producing videos, especially while editing, but even I noticed the improvement in quality with this one. After using the tent in this video then going back to my silnylon tarp in the next one (currently being edited), I completely agree. Canvas is superior in everything, maybe aside from weight, but I don't worry about that too much. I'm planning to make up a few 10oz canvas oilcloth tarps within the next few weeks to hopefully replace the silnylon where I can. Thanks for the comment! I appreciate the kind words 👊
Educational, entertaining, peaceful, relaxing. Sound of rain bouncing off the tent. So, how hard is it to go back to civilization after experiencing such tranquil solitude?
Thank you! That's very kind! I'm fortunate in my life that I don't actually go back to civilization after filming these trips. Where I live is truly in the middle of nowhere, and the nearest city is 5 hours away. My day to day life isn't actually all that different from these videos - just take away the camera and that's pretty much it
really enjoy your videos, this one rocks, I watch it relax in the comfort in my home, anxious to get to the woods on the weekend
Thank you! I hope your trip's going well!
Another great video can't wait for the next one
Thank you! The next video should be releasing next week Thursday or Friday!
Liked your video first time viewer, thank you for sharing this with us; thank you for protecting nature and cleaning area before you leave it
Hay your back just like you said I hope your back up now it
s must for some one like you with so much content. Happy trails.
I am! Three more videos being edited at the moment! Even one that you might remember from 2019 that for some reason was deleted from my channel. Thinking about reposting it!
@@wituikbws Yes by all means repost it . Happy trails
That's a big knife. I like it.
I do as well 😁
best ever
Das ist mal ein Bushcraft Video ohne übertriebene Ausrüstungsgegenstände Gegenstände, einfach und minimalistisch gehalten, klasse 👌👍👌
Ich brauche nicht viel mehr als das, was ich trage, und könnte mit noch weniger davonkommen! Danke fürs zuschauen!
Klasse, manchmal ist weniger auch mehr 👌🖐👌
Glad you’re back!
Me too!
Morning Cowboy!! Great video!! Loved that old school pup-tent. Something about rain hitting a canvas tent does my old heart good. It reminded me of the shelter half pup tents we used when I was in the service. You had a "tent buddy". Each would carry half of the tent. Damn, that goes back a few years. That old camp-site you wandered upon was interesting. Sometimes when I'm out and about, I'll come upon something, an old camp, a rock formation not made by nature. An old faded elk rack. I like to set and just imagine what took place. You know? That old camp you found? Maybe Pan Phillips and his pard's sat in that very spot.🤠 Looks like you're carrying a different rifle from the guide gun. Stay safe. Happy trails. Roger
Hey, hope all is well! I'm glad that pup-tent brought back some good memories for you. I certainly fell in love with it myself filming this video - it's a great tent!. Another viewer figures the old camp was a guide camp, likely for moose hunting on the muskeg behind it. Seems like a good theory to me, as I saw a cow and calf cross it while I was out there! This area is in the opposite direction of where Rich, Pan, and those folk went, but you never know! The old maps show a horse trail going right through the area, and I was even able to loosely follow it and come across blazes on the oldest dead trees that were still standing. Next video I film in the area, I'll get them on camera! The rifle in this video is what I usually carry, a Marlin 1895 CB, very similar to the guide gun model. Thanks for always watching and keeping in touch!
Great camping.
Nice vid. I really like your version of the leave no trace philosophy and admire your craftsmanship. Peace. 🔥🌲👍
Thank you! I'm not too worried about leave no trace unless it's man-made garbage. In my opinion, a ring of rocks or a small pile of wood shouldn't be enough to offend folk, unless it's within a park or something similar that has specific laws against it. I took my camp completely apart as I plan to return to it later this fall, and might want to build something different. Clean slate to work with!
I liked it very much, thank you very much
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching!
nice to see the old Caribou-Chilcotin again, the playground of my youth. looks like you've had a wet summer. nice rifle. 👍
It's been a weird summer. First it was insanely hot with that heat wave that came through, then just rain, rain, rain since. I hope the videos bring you back some good memories, and thanks! 👍
You should have literal millions of subscribers. This is pure gold
I wish!! Thank you though, there are more videos coming soon and don't miss the last one I posted!
With you having your tent as a A Fram does that wall reflector work at keeping you warm . I love your videos. Thanks for the entertainment.
I had made it originally hoping it'd work as a windbreak, but about half way through building it the wind changed direction 😆🤠 Thanks for watching! More videos coming soon
Just started following you and I enjoyed your video. Smart putting your kindling in the tent to stay dry. I don't camp anymore, but I enjoy the camping videos. Looking forward to seeing more of yours.
Welcome to the channel! There is a new video releasing this Thursday or Friday, and many more lined up after that 😁
excellent video
Thank you very much!
In Texas we call a fish that size bait. Good video and beautiful scenery 😊
I made the mistake of bringing a 2lbs trout on a past video, and the dog and I both struggled to eat it all 😆😆 From now on I bring the "pan-fry" size to avoid that problem. Thanks for watching!!
Hi Nicholas good to see you up and about Again. Gorgeous scenery & so darn peaceful too. Would you and Marie do another build I did like your build when you had the white puppy - that was quite some time ago now, before Covid hit us all. Travel safely & cheers
Hi! Sorry for the bad news, but Marie and I are no longer together. We went our separate ways awhile back, and unfortunately the white puppy passed away at 11 years old recently. Miss that dog, she was great to have around. I have been making videos on a new camp build however, and have plans to make a few other camps too. Check them out on my video list!
Really nice again, Partner! 🤠👍 This old camp you've found is very interessting.
Glad you enjoyed it! I find it very interesting as well
Your videos are top notch man! Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
I wish i could do that with my grandson
Sorry to hear you can't! 😢
Well done! I really enjoy your videos!
Thank you! More coming soon!
Love the content brother. Keep it up.
Really enjoyed this video. Greetings from Indonesia. Keep up the good work! 🙌🏼
Will do, and greetings from Canada!
It's cool video. Western movie style.
Thanks! Just wait until I get the horses in one 👊👊
I legit thought I come across a western movie. Awesome video brother! Subbed immediately
Haha! Just wait until I camp off my horses!
Beautiful vedio Sir👍
Thanks a lot!
Really nice 👍, even when you start leaving the place you made it looks natural again, great job brother
Thank you so much 😀
Amazing vídeo
Thanks!

Just wait until I start camping off my horses 🤠👍
Glad this came up in my feed. Enjoyable and will be checking out your past content. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing your outing with us.
Was that a Marlin 1895 LTD III?
I'm glad too! I recommend all my newer videos from the last two years. All are filmed in the Chilcotin and are much better quality than those before it. The Marlin in this video is a sorry looking 1895 CBA, but I also carry a Browning 1886 in .45-70 as well. Thanks for watching!
Dziękuję pozdrawiam serdecznie 🤗👏👍💪💖🐺🐾🏞️
super weather !!! 39 F at night & lowish 50' at night !!!! awesome !!! so was the fish ?? what was it ?? cowboy coffee fer breakfast and a nice meadow to gaze on !!!! can life get any better ????
The weather was great! Definitely my favourite time of year. The fish was a rainbow trout that I caught through the ice last winter. I'm planning on filming catching some this January! Stay tuned for some more videos!
Haaaaaaa THE BLADE!!!!!
Damn right!! Hope all is well with you, man!!
new friends are here to listen 🙏🇲🇨
Welcome to the channel!
@@wituikbws thanks
Very nice my friend 🤠
Thanks! 👊
You should look into making a wooden folding saw based off the boreal design
Great idea! I've thought about it, but I lack the one chisel I need to make it happen so it's been on the back burner 😆
I’d love to see a list of some of your gear in the notes. What backpack is that? Great fun. Thank you.
Unfortunately, that's not really possible. The majority of my gear is either very old and missing tags or maker marks, or just completely built by me, meaning I'd have very few items to list. Even the backpack, I have no clue who makes it. All I know is that it's old and it's was my uncle's, but if I had to guess, maybe it's a Camptrails bag? Can't say for sure, but I appreciate the suggestion! Thanks for watching
What a beautiful campsite - those are some awesome mountains in the background!!! What happened to the trapper nelson? It was hard to make out but what is the pack you have in this video - I like it!!! Great video as always.
Little backstory on those mountains: last year my father and I went up there filming a black bear hunting video, but got turned around due to an absolute downpour of rain. Not even a month later, hunters up there doing the same thing got mauled by a grizzly. Suddenly I wasn't so bummed out we turned back, haha!
The Trapper Nelson's still around! I just haven't gotten to using it yet. I've been waiting for a oilcoth tarp I made to cure, that way I have a shelter to match it's age. I'm not sure what the pack is in this video, but as far as I can tell, it's an old "Camp Trails" pack. I've seen some similar ones to it on Ebay. Thanks for the comment and support!
yeeeee
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
What kind of knife is that you have ? very nice. I like the bush craft camp videos in bad weather because it is the most challenging for survival plus nice atmosphere too.
It’s a custom design I made and had built by Mike Jones Knife & Tool. It’s a one of a kind, but he has other knives of the same quality. I like them in bad weather as well - especially snow! I am procrastinating filming in the cold we have out here already though, not very appealing at the moment 😆
Spectacular video. I am a gear nerd and you are using awesome stuff. I am curious about what sleep system you were using considering the tent has no floor.
Thank you! Most of the gear I use is Dutch army surplus (no reason why, just what I've got), and this time I used a thermarest pad and one of my modular sleeping bags, both Dutch army surplus. Worked great!
I have a question for you. I grew up in northern Vermont. Doing many of the same things as you. I have noticed that you dig a fire pit every time you make camp ? We always made a stone pit ! But never Doug a hole . Is this to stop roots from smoldering and later starting a forest fire? I realize that things are different in other parts of the world . Was just curious as to why ? Thank you for the great videos.
Chip
Yes, that's exactly why I do it. I live in pretty much entirely spruce and pine forest, and if you don't dig up and remove the top layer of duff it will smoulder and spread, sometimes even underground. If I don't hit sand, gravel, or rock when I dig, I won't start a fire. No point in risking it. Thanks for watching!
Very good, suggestion at the next campsite come on horseback and bring a piece of bread for breakfast
Hey BERTRAM see how you revolutionized camping ! Good job Bertram !
I’ve been doing this style of film making for about two years before Bertram ever got into it, and I was actually one of the first people to do “silent bushcraft” on TH-cam, but I will give credit where credit is due. When Bertram came into the picture, I was in absolute shock with his level of quality and filmmaking, and he gave me the ultimate push I needed to focus on those aspect with my own videos, which for films that rely entirely on visuals and sound, I extremely underestimated their importance. So big thanks to him and his awesome work for getting me to where I’m at now! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the video!
Çadırın için de soba olsaydı daha iyi olurdu üşümezdin
Aslında çadırın içinde bir mum yaktım ve bütün gece yanmasını sağladım. Çadırı epeyce ısıttı ve birkaç tanesiyle eminim içeriyi güzelce ısıtabilirim. Bir soba olsa çok daha iyi olurdu!
Like the tent or i should say tarp. Where is it from. I have a 45-70 also. Very nice
This ones a surplus Dutch army pup tent. I got it from a place called xmilitary out of Europe. Pretty great tent so far!
Did you have to put a tarp on the ground to stay dry? Doesn't the rain water trickle in under the sides of the tent?
love to know where you got the hat
The hat is a Smithbilt "Bullrider" in pecan brown, but after beating the hell out of it over the years, I reshaped it into what it is now. It's pretty much a custom hat at this point, so unfortunately you'd be hard pressed to find one like it
This just came up in my feed. I can say I subscribed. Great video. I really enjoy how you film. And beautiful country! I have to ask, what kind of pup tent is that? Thank you. And I'll be watching all your videos.
Welcome to the channel and thanks for subscribing! This is a Dutch army surplus pup tent. They work great and aren't too heavy when you cut the stakes and poles they comes with. Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel, and glad I did! Wonderful content! I am very interested in the knife you are using. Would you be willing to share a little about it? Thanks!
Welcome to the channel!! The knife is a custom design I made and had built by Mike Jones Knife and Tool
what tent do you have? also would be awesome to see an equipment list used? Thanks awesome content
Dutch surplus pup tent !
Excellent video. What sort of wildlife might you encounter in your new neighborhood?
Thank you! We have all sorts of waterfowl (ducks, geese), upland game birds (various types of grouse), small to large game (muskrat to deer), but the notable ones mainly due to the threat they impose would be moose, grizzly bear, black bear, and cougar, in that order of concern. That's why I always have that rifle with me 🤠 Oh, and bigfoot
@@wituikbws Thanks. It’s upland bird time here in Minnesota. There is the occasional moose and a perfect lack of grizzly bears.
Great videos! I'm very interested in that awesome slab of a knife! Self-made? Or a local craftsman? I'd really enjoy seeing more of it. Cheers from Idaho!
Thanks! The knife was designed by me and built by Mike Jones Knife & Tool. It’s a one of a kind piece, but check out his other work!!
@@wituikbws Thanks for the reply!
Why the tape on the lever gun.I like the big knife you have where can i get it.
The tape is currently the only thing holding the rifle together. The stock has a crack right on the grip so I took some notes from a life-long cowboy and rancher and his solution to inevitable crack problem, taped it up, and it's actually holding up great. The knife is a custom design I came up with and had built by Mike Jones Knife & Tool out of Quesnel, BC. Best knife maker without a doubt, but that's my opinion of course. Check him out and say I sent you!
@@wituikbws we used brass pins across the split then taped it. Lasted for years.
Everything in Canada eventually ends up wrapped in Hockey Stick Tape.
Cool video man, what would you recommend for boots ? and also socks ? what do you usually go with ?
I've tried nearly everything - modern/old hiking boots, engineer boots, packer boots, all kinds of hunting boots, mountaineering boots, insulated and non-insulated rubber boots, etc, etc, etc. In my experience, it really comes down to what the boots are for. If you're in the high country climbing up scree slopes or hunting with heavy packs and need as much ankle support as possible, the Hanwag Trapper is my pick. If you're in bog/muskeg, or in extreme cold, insulated rubber boots like the Baffin Hunters work well, but find tougher and better quality ones if you can as the Baffin's wear terribly and will get ruined within 3 weeks of buying. Riding horses in warm climate? Georgia Packers or Redwing Pecos. In winter? The L.L. Bean Maine Boots are great, but size up and fit a -40C liner in them. There really is no boot that fits all bills, especially when you do a lot of varied activities in the bush. You just buy what fits your activities best, both boots and socks, and just pick whatever one works best at what you're doing.
Since that wasn't your question though, if I had to pick one boot that's the most versatile out of everything I've tried, it'd be the L.L. Bean Maine boot. They're tough, have been around for over 100 years, get repaired for free if you damage them, are good in all weather as long as you use a liner depending on what you're dealing with, are good in most areas that don't require serious ankle support or grip, good for riding a horse in since they have a heel and are small enough to fit a stirrup, good for light hunting especially when you want to be dead quiet, and even are decent for canoes and fishing since they're fairly waterproof if you keep the leather treated with Snoseal regularly. These boots do have drawbacks though, like having no ankle support or toe protection and they are soft like a moccasin which you either like or dislike depending on preference. For socks, I can't really recommend anything than whatever you like. In the cold, I use thick 100% wool or polyester with a thin wicking liner sock underneath, and in the warm I use super thin cotton or liner sock, and no matter what, I almost always wear two pairs to avoid chaffing. I hope that helps, and sorry for the long response. It's quite a tricky subject to figure out!
@@wituikbws thanks man it really helps me a lot and I wrote down the boots you say is good for winter so i think i'll probably do some shopping on line tonight for both boots and socks for cold and warm weather. i want to do a weekend hike before the snow falls and also a winter camp as well so i need the best gear there is. and your info has helped me , thanks again man. i'll let you know what i went with if i find them on-line tonight...also have you ever done a gear video ?
hey amigo, just wanted to let you know that i DO appreciate the wwork on the videos and thr hours of editing !!! 8)
i thot i'd let yoy know i have a had time reading the printed dialoge that show up on screen. Not sure f you can darken it a bit and/or enlarge it. just a fyi from a fan of ur channel :)
peace my northern amigo !!! :)
I upped the sizing in the next few videos, but not by much. I have to keep it somewhat small that way I can fit it into the dark areas, otherwise it will blend with the background and be unreadable. Thanks for the feedback though!! I appreciate the support!
what kind of knife are you using? Its beautiful.
It’s a custom knife I designed and had built by Mike Jones Knife and Tool. It’s a one of a kind
Fantastic Video!!!! Is this a carharrt pants?
Thanks! Yes they are
Like Arthur morgan Red Dead Redemption 2 in wild life
Wait until I get my horses in some videos!
Dear Wituik, Did you ever go camping in the southwest United States
Nope! unfortunately not
I’m sure this has been asked, but what brand knife are you using?
Great video Nicholas! Great camera work. Only thing I got to complain about is not about you but TH-cam. I want to help you make some ad cash by watching them but TH-cam inserted a 25 minute ad as the number two ad. That’s just ridiculous. Isn’t a 25 minute ad just a video that should stand on its own? Just ranting, great to see your videos, I really enjoy watching them.
Thank you! That is a crazy long ad, haha! I'm surprised TH-cam even allows people to make ads that long. I appreciate the support though!
Is that a pond with still water or a river? Not a good choice to camp next to a pond as it attracts lots of insects. Good video, thumb up.
It’s a large area of muskeg that has a small creek in the middle of it. It’s a good example of what just about everywhere looks like in the area I’m in, although most aren’t so photogenic and rather look and smell like death. The insects aren’t really a concern here since if you cared about them, you’d decidedly go insane. The mosquitoes, black flies, and horse flies are unbelievably bad. If it weren’t for deet, I’d question how one could exist here, and it gets a lot worse when you are on a horse, haha! Thanks for the concern and I appreciate the thumbs up! 🤠👍
interesting knife! is there a review on it? what is it called?
It's my custom design. I call it my "Chilcotin bush knife", haha!
Peaceful camping- enjoyed it. Where's girlfriend these days?
I'm glad you enjoyed! She's around! She's just stuck down in America at the moment. She'll be back soon though!
Wonderful! I enjoyed watching your video. I just wonder if cutting a tree is legal in your country.
It is legal! Most people including myself heat their homes with firewood, so cutting down or clearing areas of dead trees isn't a problem here
I love your knife, is it a Bowie knife?
Bowie style!
Где твоя лошадь ковбой? Индейцы угнали?))
