Bushcraft on Horseback - Hammock camping with horses and dog!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- On this Horseback trek through the forest, we bring our dog, hammocks and tarps for an camping overnighter with minimal bushcraft gear. We were Horse riding in the rain for the whole first day, which meant getting dry firewood/ tinder and starting the fire with a firesteel wasn’t easy! After some horse action, we returned home the following day. Horse riding and hammock camping is definitely recommended! ;)
Many thanks to Stina and Tessa, our horses for the trip.
also thanks to Esther and the Slieve Aughty Centre, for letting us bring them!
Hope you like it! Leave a comment! ;)

that's got to be the happiest dog ever. lol , running with horses through the forest, being a wild boy.
My dogs get to live this paradise too +chase grizzly bears
Adventures on horseback is unlike any other means of travel! Non horse people are missing out
It's my dream to do but I cant afford a hose😔
I wish I knew how to ride. I think it would be awesome to 'hit the trails', so to speak, and ride in the mountains of Alaska and Montana; living like real cowboys did.
Aren’t Ted I can do any trail u can do on horse back on my dirtbike
I'm a few years late to the party but I want to tell you that I'm impressed by how well you immediately take the saddles off the horses when you reach hour daily destination. It's important to unburden them as soon as you can as you do. I like the spacious area you enclose for them for grazing on lush grass, your dog seems happy and in great shape. You treat your animals very well. It gets you two thumbs up from me. Well done gentlemen ! Keep up the great work and thank you for taking us along for the ride. Very enjoyable !!
i love it how you mounted the camera on a stick!
that dog is hilarious!
2:50 Bush craft selfie stick!!
The dog is having the time of his lifetime
Wow, simple lookinf but great video. The edit in the beginning was supreme. I like that you show real struggles like the difficult fire without malking it seem like part of a dramtic arc. The breakfesttalk was smooth.
Your dog and horses are so well behaved, i love your videos great job
This was a really beautiful place, scenery & loved the horses and Jaeger along! It was too short! I hate to see you guys freezing, wet and miserable! But when you go somewhere like this then it"s a pleasure to watch!
Omg I love this channel and your horses. What you guys do is amazing the camera shots and the content. I love and admire that you love animals and nature I would love to do something like this someday. Keep up the amazing work. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've been waiting for a conveyance based bushcraft channel, and now you have arrived! SUBSCRIBED.
Great to hear that you subscribed, Bushcraft Beats!
It isnt that long ago, that all men were as fast as the horses carrying them! it sure is a great way of transport, tho they dont have an on/off button! You will see more horse action in the future but also other stuff!
thanks for commenting! Dylan & Julius
Brilliant. Some very confident riding at the beginning lad's, nice. This video is more to home for me, I spent over 2 years living on the road horse drawn with a friend, I lived in a Gypsy Bender and had a 2 wheeled flat cart and he had himself a very nice Open Lot Wagon, our setups were pulled by our Welsh Cobs of around 14:2 hand's, we lived a lot off the land mainly and foraged out of food skips when we could, this video is where my head was totally at nearly 30 year's ago. Thank you and atvb to you both. Paul.
I love that dog
I like your channel, subscribed ;) Especially like that you have animals with you, companions. Hope you will be able to keep the channel going. Good luck and greetings from Hungary ;)
Great companionship is right!:) It's a pleasure bringing them with us, especially Jäger, the dog. Thanks for your supportive words! Julius
@@SmoothGefixt:
Awesome video, thank you very much!
Quick question: Where do those awesome Jackboots come from?
This is one of my favorite videos. Great songbird sound as well...my cat is still trying to find the birds. Lol
You guys are real gansgters!
I would LOVE to see more stuff of you guys on horse back! It's inspiring and entertaining!!
I think people getting out on horseback into the back country is awesome and such a disappearing art. So important. I have nothing but respect for you guys. And just remember this......lots of horse snobs out there...... if all the members make it back in one piece? And you had fun? Your doing it right!
Thanks Bud! much appreciated! :) Cheers. Dylan
I love how the dog was like... Right I see what we are doing here, I'll go first this time 😂😂
Thanks for the great video. Took me back. I'm from the western state of Nevada. I working cattle ranches when I was younger and my sport was rodeo. In fact my first couple of deer hunting trips were on horse back. My dog and constant companion back then was a red heeler. An amazing breed for all day everyday travels through the Great Basin Desert of Nevada. Keep the fun on camera and continue to share. Thanks again!
We would hobble horses and mules and let them graze. Lead animal gets a cowbell around the neck. Some people use portable electric fences but Moose tend to knock em down and your in for a big hike. We always take pack animals....makes camp more tolerable. Allows for things like a stove, chairs, horse feed, etc. We log dead wood for fire by tying off to the tail. Their tails are strong. Find a couple of books online. “Packing in on horses and mules” the other is “Horses, Hitches and Rocky Trails” written by Smoke Elsner and Joe Back respectively. Good luck!
Awesome ! Thanks a lot for the recommendations and tips! :) hah what we did was only childplay is what youre probably thinking hehehe:P
This is life ❤
Guys, I just found your channel and I´m really amazed how enjoyable your videos are. The footage is great and there is always such a lovely athmosphere. The humor between the two of you is very entertaining aswell. This is the second comment on youtube I´ve ever made, so be sure about it, that I´m really impressed. As I´ve rushed through your playlists, I really need to see more, new stuff from you guys now. Please continue your smooth work and I can tell, you have fixed my day. Peace.
very nice to hear Nicolas and thank you for the compliments!! Peace, Dylan
Whow! Your words put a big smile on my face, mate! Just your second comment;) what an honor! It's a little quite now with the camera's, but definitely some fresh content to come in the future. See you on the next one;) All the best, Julius
I wanna go back to ancient times
Love this will def watch more.
Really nice cinematography!
The horse always gives a special element. - love
Its pretty wild to think that this is how a majority of humans lived for thousands of years before cities and cars and the industrial revolution. Most human beings traveled by horseback (or on the back of a similar caliber pack animal like Alpacas or Donkeys) and they survived on the elements until they reached the next small village or local inn. They did what theu had to do to survive and make it to rheir destination. Even scholars, kings, emporers and merchants had to travel this way. It was the only way to travel from place to place over a very long distance. Whole families would ravel by horseback through mountains, rivers, snow and rain to get where they needed to be.
Its just so amazing there are people who still do it and keep that part of humam history alive in the modern day!
Amazing Video. Beautiful horses and the German Shepperd was fast! Nice way to move in the woods...hope to see that kind of video again....greetings from Germany
Great way indeed, but also a little unpractical especially with housong the horses during the night;) Hopefully more iof this in the future. Cheers, Julius
Very unique and awesome video I liked the galloping scenes from 0:55 to 2:28 specially at 1:54 that view from the top as you guys gallop by, so cool. Do more of mounted bushcraft. Thanks
Love the video!! Favorite intro so far!! Great work with the cameras 😍
Thanks Giulia! glad you liked it and thanks for the comment!! :)
Great stuff guys, love the horses. Good luck in all your travels.

Inspiring journey! I love it!
I love your channel! Keep up the great vids.
Nice, you don't see enough overnight riders able to ride at speed and cover real ground without their packs coming apart. Going up gill grab handfull of mane to keep your weight and saddle forward.
Very different than how we do it. Interesting. Ireland is very green! Looks like you guys had fun!
Yep it sure is! i guess alot of modern irish horseriding comes from the english style... a bit lame if you ask me but it is what it is;) Cheers.! Dylan
Doggo be vibin :D

WHERE is this! Amazing footage and great video!
Where was this filmed? It’s so pretty!
R.I.P AVICII (BTW great video) :)
Loved this vid
ahhh the flies
I just found your channel yesterday, automatically subscribed after watching very natural videos you have. You both show realistic condition on survival, good skills and stunning landscape! Well, you got a new subscriber from far away south. Try to do survival in tropical rainforests, it would be interesting ;) greeting from Indonesia.
Thanks alot:)
Did you guys lease your horses and how long have to actually ridden? To me I would be suprised if you guys took like max. 10 classes and just set off. :D
Edit: 4:35 I recommend lifting the stirrups up and putting them in the "lock" so the saddle won't be as damaged and the horses won't spook.
We’re waiting for your new vids guys!
In about two weeks;) Sorry for the waiting.
This is great! You guys could easily be mistaken for 19th century outdoormen. But I was wondering, where can I find more information about the brown coat you are wearing in this video? It looks really nice and weatherproof and I'm looking for such a coat with a historic feel that does exactly that.
My dream 😘
Ok I'm subscribing.
That took a while, haha;) We hope future content can keep you convinced:) Cheers, Julius
I would love to go riding/camping with you! I’m new to this channel, where are you from? :)
What do you do with the horses while you sleep? Tie them to a tree or how does that work? I wanna do something like this but always wondered how you keep the horses around at night
What were you using for your enclosure? Just rope?
How did you keep your horses in
Awesome as usual. How did you get the horseman skills? Ray,Oklahoma
Aunty in Ireland with a horse vacation farm, where Dylan ended up working also;)
You guys were moving along pretty fast and were not bouncing all over, good job.
Does habing a horse feel like an extra responsibility when out camping, trekking, etc.
Big time, takes some energy managing them (also because it was all a bit new for us), but on the other hand travelling can go easy quick :)
real nice, impressiv and romantic. Which horses are These? Stella and Bella?
Thanks Katja;) dont think romantic was our aim.. :) Chestnut horse is Stina and the Black horse is Tessa;) Take care, Dylan
What makes me (as a woman) associate this film as romantic: it is the romantic land scape, traveling with horses, cooking and sitting by the fire, sleeping outside AND you both look and are cool!
What horse breed is the black horse?
Where is this?
Please create a better fire break. Also, a warning about fire safety in general please. Even if its raining
If I had a horse or mule I’ll probably be doing this I never liked motorcycles or anything with an engine for hunting or outdoor related reasons.
But if I’m not in a car I’m choosing to be on foot.
What’s your Chanel called and is there more with horses and dog please
We use a mule and a pony in our roundhouse building series. Glad you enjoy. It think We talked about channel name in our first Q&A video
Your welcome.
more plz
on the way;)
AWESOME channel!... Sub confirm! More pls!
Thank you! stay tuned;) Cheers, Dylan
They really good at riding horses tho
How did you keep your horses at night as far as containment etc
We fenced off a little corner with fencing tape, the next day we had 1 horse on each side of the fence.. we were fairly close to home so they where quiet and content. i guess with more/different horses, further away from home, you'd want to do a better job than us;) C heers. Dylan
Getting a little bit cowboys and Indians there boys
Great crack;)
😉😉😊
What hammocks did u use?
I got DD hammock with built in mosquito net, nice and durable for an affordable price, downside is the weight i guess;) Julius got Ticket to the moon hammock, a simple but very effective build/design:) Cheers. Dylan
What no midgets(insects)?
From red dead redemption 2
This is my first time watching your channel. Love horses and German Shepherds. Did not see any water or food provided for either. That is troubling to be honest. Connie
No worries;) We care about the living ones:) For the future: we learned now to address this in the videos since this turned out to be a sensitive subject. Thanks for the support and your comment! Cheers, Julius
Thanks for the reply. On a positive note, I am happy there is so much concern. There is another channel with a guy and a GSD . I stopped watching after he mocked the dog for his thirst when he finally found a water source. I let him know why I would no longer watch. Happy that is not the case here. Thanks, Connie
I can't remember the name of the specific video.
They don't show every second of their trip lol. Obviously they feed and water the animals. (They even mention IN THE VIDEO that the animals care comes first).
Sad that they will now have to specifically show themselves feeding and giving water to the animals just to ease the minds of dumb people.
Not bed
An English saddle and a helmet. Yeah I’ve seen enough.
Lol, better luck next time :p
Make sure when you are riding you keep your heels down that will help with the jumping and overall everything just a tip from a horse rider
