3 Day Solo Winter Snow Camp - Bushcraft, Canvas Tent, Woodstove, Bowdrill

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มี.ค. 2018
- On this adventure I head out for a solo winter camping trip in the snow. I setup the small canvas tent and woodstove, make a bushcraft fire reflector and make this camp my home for 3 days. On the second day a snow storm arrived from the east, bringing with it ice rain and blizzard like conditions. I cook up food on the woodstove and campfire to keep me warm. I also attempt a primitive bowdrill in a snowstorm. Thanks for joining me on the adventure - Mike

When you go far into the forest, when your phone is silent, it does not catch the signal, and the sleeping bag on the foam replaces your favorite bed! When your dinner is boiling in a black pot on a hot fire, and all your clothes are soaked through with smoke. You forget about all your problems, they simply do not exist, there is you and the silence of the forest! The silence from which is muffling. Your senses sharpen as you hear the wind, the rustle of grass, and leaves. The creaking of the trunks. At this moment, you feel that you are alive, you are alive now, you listen to your breath, your heart, Nothing can replace these feelings. You are cleansed of all that weighed on you yesterday. Just you and nature. And you're on your own. You're alive now, and that's all that matters. For this we go to the forest. To experience it, over and over again. Those who have experienced it will understand. Those who have not experienced it, still have everything ahead of them. Thank you for giving me this feeling. Thank you for making such content that attracts people to put on a backpack and go to wander along the forest path, your work makes people really happy. 👍My channel on You Tube is just starting to take shape. If you don't mind, please put a few likes and a couple of short comments.

Brilliant writing with truths interwoven amongst the words; you truly capture, at least in part, what this channel is all about!! Good luck with your new channel and maintain that positive, upbeat spirit and enthusiasm, my friend!!!! Thank you!!!
Couldn't have described it better, as a traumatized veteran, the woods and the campfire is my only solitude, my space of peace
I agree Clyde. Few people are as genuine as Mike. Im in self Isolation here in Canada as well and Ive come to really respect him quickly as a result of his genuine character and what I learn through the shows. Hes first class!!
TA OUTDOORS AND TA FISHING, THE ONLY TWO CHANNELS ON TH-cam WORTH WATCHING, QUALITY EVERY TIME, GUARANTEED.
That’s what I love about you, Mike. Your determination and never give up attitude encourages me to keep trying, no matter how ridiculous my goal may appear to be. See you in the snowfields!
Thanks Kathryn!

Hey Mike!
I've been watching and dropping the occasional comment for well over a year now - usually praising the leaps and bounds you take in production levels!
Something I've neglected to say is just how much your videos help me, personally. I experience fairly decent anxiety that leads to depression. Watching your videos really helps. Not only are you a lovely chap with a warm and positive energy, you remind me of how healing it is to be in the wilderness. Swinging a sharp axe is better than any medication! Your videos capture the spirit of outdoors in a way that allows us, as viewers, to connect with it. That takes a special talent, and love and respect for the outdoors on your part.
Thank you, Mike.
Love to yourself, Graham, Jaxx, the Mrs, and all the fam!
shewolf many thanks for the kind comment, I am pleased the videos are helping you
I love you
Well said!!
Good stuff. I've never been big on anxiety. Think I've had some years of depression struggles. God found me and is helping me through. Seel Jesus. He's got the good healing ha. God bless you in Jesus' name.
SHE WOLF LOVE U FROM PAKISTAN
Great job Mike. You are the only TH-camr I know of that I can watch 23 minutes of video with no music or talking and be totally entertained. You and your dad have inspired me to build a pallet wood cabin. My son is helping me with it and the time together is great! Thank you so much for the inspiration. I'm putting the build up on TH-cam as I do it, If you get time to watch it I would appreciate any advice you would have.
The only person I can take the silent treatment from without losing my mind.
Это у вас грейт джоб? Это игры детей в песочнице!

For some time now, it began to seem to me that this forest is ultimately part of my “I”. I wandered within myself. Just like blood circulates through blood vessels. It turns out that I saw my own inner world in front of me, and what looked menacing in my eyes, in fact, was an echo of the fears that had settled in me. The web that entangles me is the web of spiders spread in my heart. And the birds that chirp overhead are raised by me. These are the images that were born and took root in my head.
Loved it mate…and watched it to the end!
I have been ploughing through your videos over the last couple of weeks, one of my favourite channels on TH-cam!
Hopefully in 2023 they are more of these 3 day excursions in the wilderness 👌🏻
I really enjoyed watching and listening to you. It's like having a conversation with a mate so it's dead relaxed and no pretentiousness. Well done, stay true to who you are because that's why it works.
Good trick for better insulation, while still allowing ventilation for gas build up, is to pile leaves along the outside bottom of the tent, effectively "sealing" the tent base. The leaves will act as a barrier against wind and snow, while not blocking the transfer of fresh air. This will allow a smaller fire to maintain in the stove.
American Plains Indians, who used portable housing (the ubiquitous TeePee), piled dirt or sand around the base to fully seal off weather. An inner liner kept an open space between the tent wall, and the living area, creating a draft effect that kept stale air and smoke rising to the open vent in the top of structure. Fresh air was controlled by how open the access flap was kept. A small fire pit in the center radiated heat to keep the TeePee warm, and also created the upward draft that kept the inner area smoke free.
This was lovely to watch! A few quick tip from Northern Norway: Eat more! Your body burns a ton of calories to keep you warm. You'd probably be less cold and tired if you did :) And when you wake up with snow on your canvas, beat it off (from the inside) before firing up the stove. When you leave the snow on the canvas and heat it up, it melts in large quantities and seeps into the fabric as it runs down. When you beat it off first, it can' melt and make your canvas wet (for then to be dried by the fire) because it's on the ground already! :D
You should do guided treks with one or two people. Really in depth info for the participants. I swear, people would pay you a fortune to spend 3-4 days with you and learn some skills
The author deserves special respect. I watched the movie in one breath. This is motivation for me. I will definitely do something similar...
I never had much success with a bow drill over my years of (summer) camping. Few of the many who have tried have found the patience and the skill and the fiddly circumstances necessary to make a lasting ember. Cold and damp make it that much more difficult to raise wood dust temperature by friction. That is just one of the ways in which this has been a great 'teaching' video. I am impressed and surprised by the serious shelter those two ponchos provide in cold conditions. The G stove is so well designed and sturdy that it is truly photogenic. Thanks for showcasing the heating and cooking capabilities of the small-sized stove. In that regard, the egg-cooking demonstration on the third morning was absolutely necessary. The pan you used also deserves a 'shout out' for the eggs not sticking or burning.
Great move posting the attempts that do not work. It shows that it's a practice and even you are still working on it. I think it is mostly about enjoying the attempts and the process.
This makes me happy, thanks for taking the time to make these quality
videos. It’s honestly inspired me to build a little cabin in my nearby
forrest to give me an escape from the chaos that is school right now.
Many thanks!
I first watched this the day it was uploaded - amazing to see it now has over 10 million views! Well done, Mike!
The fire reflector is such a helpful implement that I would actually build a 3-sided one, with the two sides at a wide angle. Could make a big difference if you wanted to be outside more and get some heat from a bigger fire.
I was thinking he should of built the fire protector on the upwind side. What do you think?
@@barnabyvonrudal1 I wouldn't have thought of that, but it certainly makes sense.
I do feel you with all the noise the media is makeing about the Beast from the East, and then 20 cm of snow. I'm from eastern Europe, and nothing stops in the city or vilages even with 40 cm of snow. Nice video :)
52:33 My dad told me once, "You learn just as much from failure, if not more, than you learn from success."
I didn't realize England was so mild, makes me jealous being in Canada with our nonstop snow once winter hits
Omg yes I live in Canada and there’s to much snow
we only get snow every few years this year it snowed for a hour aha in England bristol
True, but with non-stop snow every year, it justifies spending money and effort on preparing for it. In the South of the UK, it's easier to put up with a minor inconvenience once every 5 years.
Here it's more wind chill and the wet which is the problem. I teach Polish students who laugh at the small amount of snow, yet moan about how cold they are here.
First time we have had snow like this in the South of England for at least 5 or 6 years - I had to make the most of it! It was a bitter Easterly wind and snow front that came over from Siberia. British Press named it "The Beast from the East" haha!! Hope you enjoy - Mike

TA Outdoors Awesome bro, is there a way I can email you? I don't have Instagram.
enjoy!
TA Outdoors mike, just curious because you refer to yourself as a “little guy.” What is your height????
Beast From The East??? It was more like the slightly disgruntled cat from next door?? 😏❄️
I've been watching your channel non-stop while in self-isolation. Amazing talent and respect for nature. From some of your other videos, I absolutely agree: learn our ancestors' knowledge so we can pass it down. Difficult times right now, but all the more reason it's good for everyone to practice self reliance and be able to work with your hands.
Hey Mike just stumbled on your platform. Great video. Took me back to days when I used to winter camp like 47 years ago. No such thing called bush craft back then. We called it survival training. Food, water, fire, hygiene and sanity is all you really need plus God!
easy
I do camping up in moray in Scotland, we don’t even get much snow here any more. Nothing like the 80’s.. great content. Thanks
I am from Iraq and I did many desert survival camps where the temps was 120 Fer.. Still wanna experience the snow weather one. You did a good job
اكو عرب بلطياره😂
"This ain't no light-weight backpacking trip. This is food and beer." I'll camp with you any time, mate.
Canadian winter camping tips: To seal-off the bottom of your shelter/tent and keep cold from drafting in, pack snow over the ends of your tent. even if the snow melts and freezes back into ice, it can't freeze through enough to seriously effect the malleability of the material. Instead of packing a stove for a small shelter, consider packing a gas lantern. it won't warm the shelter up as /much/ but it'll give you a good ten degree difference in temperature [which is enough with the right sleeping equipment] , be easier to stow in a pack, and also serve dual purpose as a light source both in and out of your shelter. also, with a lantern, carbon monoxide poisoning is much less of a concern.
I live in Canada too, I don't have the courage to do it myself in the first time because I was born in a temperate country
What do you recommend ?
Thank you
Pumped for that code Mike! I've been holding off in case something like this was coming along, really enjoying the content lately as well. The opening scenes are something else. Keep it up bud!
Hello from Canada. You have a great set up and knowledge of the outdoors. All you need is a minus 30 sleeping bag and long Johns and you would fit right in with our Canadian winters.
Cheers my backcountry friend.
G D hello fr northern Alaska west above arctic circle
Getting colder by the hour . Get ready fast !
Shtf real quick-like !! ✅
I had the good fortune to aim my test strike toward my tinder and see the flame from the first spark, falling from about 12”. Now, I always test toward the bundle, to see it again. I understand the air regulator on the G stove for the first time - like a cam/fan. I love watching your process. Thank you.
First video I’ve seen without those long shots that require multiple trips to and fro to set up and retrieve the camera. Bravo for not wasting time and energy
I love camping and hiking in the snow!!!! Winter is my favorite season to get outside and backpack. No crowds, lots of views and usually better stars since the humidity is lower.
Goose Island, baby! They brew that right here in Chicago. That beer must have felt right at home in the cold and snow.
AMAZING GUY!
I loved to imagine, the man who can do in 3days. So others can do happily the survival.
Try to live for 50$ month. May be after you will understand what is real survive.
Great video.Thank you.
I planned & dreamed for 🏕️ camping in the outdoors.
Was getting disappointed with myself not being full-time out there.
Than I become homeless in the summertime & got my first tent.Was a bit scary for the first few days only having 1-2 mm wall around me.Gradually got used to the colder weather as time
went by.This way was easy adjustment towards my minus 7 night time + snowy few days. It was a thrill surviving that first winter.
My friends & I was even proud of it.Even had a nasty flue for 3 weeks camping out but I just kept warm & healthy eating.This started at the age of 63.Have an apt now but once a week or more still sleeping in my rent.I can't wait for a good minus 10 overnight.More tests on me.The often calmness of nature changes you to be a better person.Not to mention the stormy days & nights!!!🏕️😜.Nature rules! You adopt.
Be safe and healthy.
mattesons smoked sausasage and eggs is a legendary breakfast especially with fried bread. you are a brave guy. it shows commitment to leap into the jaws of the beast from the east and defeat it with british cozyness.
Loved it Mike. Great job!!! Thanks for bringing the outdoors to me. I was able to put a bag on my cast and hobble out the back with my son the other night and build a fire and cook some food we just had a 12 inch snowstorm so it's pretty interesting.
- At the end of the year, winter, heavy snow season, I love to go camping under the snow is falling. Sitting in the tent, eating, drinking hot tea, watching the white snow everywhere, my heart feels very excited and relaxed.
Dec, 17 - 2020.
I like your character, easy going, willing to say your still in a learning curve on something. No like a lot of channels on here with that ego I know it all. I enjoy your channel and well keep watching it. Keep up the good work.
Camping with Beer. An absolute must! Cheers
МОГУ ПРЕДСТАВИТЬ СЕБЕ ТАКОЙ 3-Х ДНЕВНЫЙ ОТДЫХ В ПАЛАТКЕ ЗИМОЙ, ОСОБЕННО НОЧЬЮ, КОГДА ЗУБ НА ЗУБ НЕ ПОПАДАЕТ!
Yeah it's definitely right to be prepared and that's pretty simple a canvas a stick and a stove and an axe. I grew up in the Maine Woods. A Simple Way To Survive. Thank You for Sharing That.👍
Re-watching this while eyeing up a new stove and you know if you get a Y stick under your bail handle and over the lip of your pan (on the tips of the Y/fork) then apply pressure like a pry bar and maybe hook the handle with the little finger and boom you're pouring like a boss. FYI self isolating sucks I'm on day two planning my freedom camping trip
Thank you for making these. I enjoyed watching. Nice to see snow in Southern England. I wish you all the best.
Good camper, he utilized the dead trees rather than cutting the growing trees..molto bravo🎈🙏🎈
Yes, and dead trees are typically drier. Unless they are rotten. A fresh birch is easily up to 50% moisture.
Love this. Your calm explanations. I wish there was a eight hour video of all the sounds of the forest, fire, snow and icy rain to sleep by.
thanks for the encouraging talk about failure.,This can be a daunting and dangerous hobby for a beginner and can easily encourage quiting.. cheers to you and your fine videos
I always loved being outdoors when I was young but I am older now, disabled and housebound but I can still live vicariously through your videos. Many thanks and I hope you continue.
Not housebound.
Karen Gregory
Me too. I miss my youth, but I enjoy watching him and somehow, it’s enough.
I'm in my 60s, and use a cane some. My dog & I pack a wagon or sled which I pull at about average 70 lbs. I like lots of comfort and that weighs alot more than a pack. We are spoiled. Best wishes.
@@Joe-kb1sm My kinda' man, Joe! 60's chic here and pulling a load is easier than backing it!
Hello from across the pond in the USA, in the state of Wisconsin. Love watching your videos and have applied some of your techniques to camping, so far in my yard(I have just over an acre of land) and I look forward to many more videos!!!

Nice to see a spark arrestor. I'm a big believer in them. My young daughter first saw snow in York - we're from South Texas, USA. No camping, but I took the train up to Inverness and stood on the shore. Beautiful, dramatic. UK at it's best. I was working in Peterboro. at the time. Christmas in London.
Really enjoy your camp outs. I used to go all the time with the family, but due to terminal cancer, I can no longer go. So your videos are very cathartic for me, almost like being there. Thanks
My favorite of the videos you make, are always going to be your overnighters. I like to see what little tips and tricks you use while camping. I am going camping this summer for our honeymoon and I hope to use a lot of the tips and trick while camping.
I've been watching you for 3 years or so... you're going to be 1 million subs very soon, congratulations! I am disabled so i watch you, Lilly and Joe mostly. God bless you all!
I'd like you 3 mostly because there's no bull.
Me too. Its almost as being there. It relaxes me before bed and i can dream tht i too am in the woods.
I am disabled too. Miss camping and love seeing outdoor videos.
34:10 that "my bayud" sounds just like east tennessee. here i am trying to mimic your accent, and you've done mastered mine!
U people are really lucky. Enjoing like this is many of our dream.
This is why I like watching your videos sir...my dad never taught me any bushcraft ,camping, or fishing. But I do wanna teach these kinda things to my boys. So I learn so I can teach...thank you for your knowledge...ill keep watching.
Matthew Nickels you sound entitled for mentioning you’re father “never taught you whatever...” he just didn’t.
@@tonyss7142 how do I sound entitled because I said my father never taught me any of these things. I grew up poor as HELL not knowing where my next meal was gonna come from. Spent 2 yrs as a child homeless you judgemental piece shit. there was times as a child I wish I could have had just the tent this guy has to keep me and my brothers and sisters warm.
Hey bud I enjoy your videos! Didn't think I would be watching someone camp ever but I appreciate that your honest and up front with how things work, in regards to your life. I think it's legit that you talk about the stove deal you have coming up and how it impacts you financially. Glad you don't dirty up the message. Y worrying about being "p.c". Any way I started watching as a result of your calab with Steele and I will continue!
Cheers Ted
Yes so will i
Loved this video as soon as I saw the Gstove! Because of your pallet cabin video, I wanted a Gstove. I got one as a gift from my mom and every year, she buys me additional parts. She’d rather buy me clothes, but I like survival bush living now! I’m more skilled at living off grid than my husband lol. I’m prepared to provide my family should we have to leave our cozy home because of your videos.
btw, The best wood to make a bow drill is far and away cedar. If it's punky, try to get wood from the centre of the tree.
That was a cracking opening drone/ ground clip Mike. Welldone! As for the stove, I will keep my Frontier stove for now. It's still going strong but won't last as long as yours that for sure. Welldone on staying out during the cold snap. Nice to have the snow but it was hard on the wildlife who have had to endure winter and scrape a meager living from the land.
All the best
Sandy
Its called survival of the fittest or natural selection with wildlife. Its been going on for millions of years. The strong survive and the weak die. Gets rid of the bad genes. This year we had record snow in 40 years or so. One dipshit I work with started feeding the wild rabbits behind the shop. They no longer go out to forage. They just sit behind shop waiting to get fed. Feeding wildlife is not good for them. I put in my two weeks notice this week. Tired of working with dipshits.

This year will be my 3rd time camping. Your videos have taught me so much. Thank you!
Great way to spend a few days. I really like the stove and heater combination. Works really well.
I’ve got to give you some love man, really appreciate you keeping it real on the Bodrill, it’s refreshing
As far as a lightweight canvas protector for the stove-pipe, I recommend looking into thermal heatwrap for automotive applications. We use it to cover the header tubes directly from engine head exhaust ports - great stuff, wraps up almost like boxing hand wraps.
Michael Kelly hi Michael I’m looking into that but will it protect my canvas tent that’s the question and how much should I wrap around the pipe to stop it from burning my tent it would help if you gave me some tips
Many thank👍🏻👍🏻
@@patrickschoenpflug They have a lot of options, but if you were to wrap the stove pipe twice with even lower quality thinner stuff, that would provide I believe more than enough insulation.
@@patrickschoenpflug I would recommend testing first if you're going to be in a mission:critical state on the outing.
Thanks for the advice I will test it out but I believe it will work thanks again Michael 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@patrickschoenpflug My pleasure! Keep up the great work!
Still has to be the best channel on TH-cam. Love your style always positive always informative.
Parabéns pra vc adoro assistir esse tipo de vídeos 🙏
Mike I really enjoy your channel. I’m originally from Wales 🏴 but now live in Australia 🇦🇺
I wish I had of done a lot more things with my dad like you do with yours but I certainly do teach my son bushcraft and how to live with the world around us here.
If ever you guys fancy an Australian adventure you are very welcome at ours anytime. Keep it up and all the very best. Rhys. 🤘🏻
BwlBoy thanks Rhys!!
Quite a while since the video was uploaded I know but, I was filled with envy 😅....
When that passed, a longing to be the person in that situation.
I love the coolest weather and isolated conditions.
Limited gear with effort and know how, that I think could be achieved by many individuals is producing a surreal experience!
I was so into this video, that I realised I was getting cold 🥶!
Thanks for the experience 🤗🇦🇺
He's fake.
He didn't pack anywhere.
His truck is right off camera.
My dog and I pull a wagon or kids sled, depending on weather. Heck with that backpack thing. We pack lots of gear easy because I don't carry it. Lots of these guys are fake on U Tube. I don't know about this guy.
Awesome, I make the same dish. Onions, bell pepper and sausage or any meat you like. Put your favorite spices and pour it over rice. Yum, yum. Love it.
As a resident of Alabama, I have to say that the ironic southern-US accent you use is 100% accurate 😂
The funny thing is that I have an ironic British accent 😂
I almost didn't even watch this, but now I'm subbed. Thought "Ok, I don't think I want to watch an hour long video if he's not going to talk at all." Made it to 10 minutes, thought "I wonder what he's making here?" By the time I saw the bacon going into the pan I thought "Ok I don't care if he doesn't talk at all, I'm watching this whole thing."
Less than 5 minutes later my first thought was "I could've swore this guy was going to be Canadian!!"
Great video dude, can't wait to check out more of your stuff
It's been nice watching you use the GStove since you unpacked it and later used at the cabin and now here in your over-nighter. I've been impressed with it, and to see it still holding up and you still loving it has sold me on it. Love your videos and thanks!
For some time now, it began to seem to me that this forest is ultimately part of my “I”. I wandered within myself. Just like blood circulates through blood vessels. It turns out that I saw my own inner world in front of me, and what looked menacing in my eyes, in fact, was an echo of the fears that had settled in me.

I was almost to the point of not caring anymore when finally 23 minutes in...the boy can speak!!!
In the UK, camping I imagine is a lot more stress free, and by that I mean, in the USA you have wolves, Puma (Mtn Lion), Bear, although in winter not so much with bear….but you get my drift there.
Ooooh nice a new snowy video!
time to get some snacks and make me comfortable
AMO ESSES VÍDEOS, APRENDO MUITOS COM ELES, OBRIGADA AMIGO.
I own a 1966 pup tent that I bought NOS from a dealer who got it from the US government back in 1986. ! It's a serious bit of kit !! Can't wait to get it broken in on my 2024 camping trip ! Great video by the way !!✌

I really enjoyed this man I actually watched the whole video lol You taught me a lot. And this is officially the longest video on TH-cam I’ve ever watched lol that being said I’ll always remember this specific video. Oh yea, and I subscribed 👍
I’m always amazed at the birch trees that grow wild where you are. I’m here in USA in NC and our birch trees grown where people or businesses have them planted. I’m not complaining, trust me. I have seen some in people’s yards but they had them planted. I’m surprised that I haven’t seen any in the wild.
Appreciate your honest open attitude...
I really enjoy these type of videos, reminds me of my years camping in winter and summer with my scout troop. Just a tad cold here in Canada. Basically the same principles but we had more equipment. Your stove would have made everything easier for me but we had fun and every trip has a learning curve and new things/wildlife to observe. Very good video thank you 👍
Hey Mike. Seeing a lot of "dollar store challenges" from the guys over the pond and wondered whether you would consider a "Poundland challenge"?
I personally would love to see that. Heck I'd love to try it myself lol
All the way through, it was very enjoyable.
Great video! Gotta love that birch. Thanks to my brothers across the seas for the interesting and always informative vids.
Really enjoy your videos Mike I have been a sub for some time your videos remind me of my youth getting out into the woods with nature making camps and cooking food. I like your content and the cinematic feel myself and my family always watch to the end.
Failing is inevitable in all aspects of life, through failing we learn.This is an important message one which is seldom laid bare on youtube.
Thanks for entertaining 290k subscribers. I hope that my channel will one day grow to become somewhat as successful as yours.
Dude! You’re living the dream!
I’ve seen 5 or 6 of your videos. Nothing like roughin it! Keep it up! God bless!
It's funny seeing this video now and you referencing the beast from the east. I live in Scotland and it was bonkers. Think we had 8 weeks of snow on and off and the cold lasted until June!
Love the set up and the videos.
