Very nice campsite indeed!
+Trevor Lee For sure! I'm scouting out the whole area for the guided trips I run. The Guide has to have some cool secret places. :D best regards, Joe
Very chilled and relaxing. Good stuff.
+Woodland Features Thanks for watching. :D best regards, Joe
Great find,some people are just lucky to be at the right place at the right time.........
+mike mathews My Wife saw the blanket and came and got me to check it out from another area of the several family yard sale. I was super happy when I saw it. That was last summer's yard sale season. Found a bunch of good stuff this summer also. :D Thanks for watching!
What a great little camping spot by the creek! I didn't see Chief!
+cdmtxgal For sure favorite spot! He was protecting the home front. :D
Nice camping spot.
Great spot! I also have a Witney blanket like yours that was made into a capote many Years ago and I wear camping and bushcrafting. It's very warm on the Pacific northwest mornings. I also have another early Whitney blanket that's red with black stripes that I use for sleeping in. With the two together on cold nights outside.
Awesome setting for a campsite. Very peaceful.
+Gary Cloud Perfect. It was only down to the high 30's and 40's at night. No problems at all.
Great show buddy!
+Will Hornbuckle Thanks Will! How are you buddy? Best regards, Joe
Great thanks for asking!
Awesome adventure!! Thank you for sharing(;
Yeah man this is one of my favorite places in the Catskills! I’ve taken groups there while guiding too many times to count, saw my last bear 🐻 there.
@@WildernessRocks awesome that's always a treat(; how's everything with you guy's in the BIG APPLE?? hope all is well God bless
Awesome camp area...good load out for overnight...looks like it would hold maybe to more people..you should get a couple of friends to spend a couple of days there with you...maybe a week....! Enjoyed the video...keep them coming...!
That looks like a Hudson Bay blanket... An LL Bean classic. I love your videos, I'm a big Boston Terrier fan as well...
+Steel Fist Heck yeah! Boston are the best! I'm for sure loving this blanket. Best regards, Joe
Similar to a Hudson Bay Blanket!
Thank you for capturing my favorite time of day. (Closing scene when your pack was sitting on the sheet of Tyvek.) From dawn till then, the most beautiful & peaceful time of the day, IMO. Just watching and listening to the world wake on a cool morning. Thanks, again for sharing.
+Oldtimer Lee Heck yeah, I love dusk and dawn... more dawn for me also. Can't beat it and I try to be there on a week day so I am all alone.
nice blanket, thats one hell of a fire pit! great vid cheers.
Yeah I love that camp! One of my all time favorite chill spots. Even saw a bear last time walk right by on the other side of the stream
What a great place to bushcraft! Awesome blanket!
+Common Sense Camper Yeah this is a favorite spot never before shared with youtube. :D
+Common Sense Camper Thanks. I have fallen in love with this blanket for sure.
I used to go survival camping when I was a kid. My dad was in the military and taught survival. Nice camp but a little too open for me.
+See Canon Sounds like a cool Dad. This camp was open because of the location, wind and weather. I and my wife have hiked back in here and used regular tents or hammocks also. Check out our other setups, over a 130 videos :D
Nice overnighter. Would LOVE to get my hands on one of those Wetterlings but they are a bit pricey!!
+Shawn Neal Good thing I only borrow my Wetterlings. The blanket cost a ton also to purchase new or used. :D At least it is a part of my occupation and tax deductible. Thanks for watching Shawn :D Best regards, Joe
Accoring to Harold Tichenor's Book "The Collector's Guide To Point Blankets" the tag dates your Witney blanket to the early 1960's. I'm not sure you should be using it out in the bush. You could sell it on E-Bay for upwards of USD $200....
I’m well aware of the history of my blanket and it’s use. This blanket is treated like a king at home and in the woods once or twice a year I take it out. Otherwise it’s sealed away from moths. 😀 still can’t believe I found it for 70 bucks at a multiple family garage yard sale
@@WildernessRocks You got a real steal! Enjoy it my friend!
That's a great load out......a bit more streamlined than my 100 litres ........most of which is taken up by my kitchen sink 😊
I see the tasty Starbucks take a front row again.....you wanna see if you can get some sponsorship 👍
+Tony Eden haha yeah I have my days of carrying way to much also. :D Come on Starbucks!!! Show me the money and free durn good coffee singles. :D
Good video mate. Beautiful spot there. Cool blanket, nice find there. Just subbed. Looking forward to the next one. Take care.
Great video, that is a beautiful blanket! I would be thrilled to find that at a yard sale. It looks like the Old Hudson Bay blankets
+SouthPaw Bushcraft Heck yeah! We are always looking for the good stuff at yard sales. :D
I have to ask if you have ever been scared at night . Being alone in the woods. And have you ever had something in the woods that you saw that you could not explain. And if that scared you. And have you ever been scared packed your stuff and left the area.
+3flashcan I have been spooked by people a bunch of times. I have also screamed out in the night to run off a deer :D Never packed up over sounds or animals, just drunk people or strange acting folks. :D
Thanks , I was just wondering . I've been spooked enough once that I did packed up and left. Still not sure what I was hearing . I'm thinking it was a bear hanging around and didn't seem to want to leave . It stayed out of sight but could hear it . Walking back and forward for a about an hour . So about the 30 minute mark I started packing and left about 30 minutes later. And it was still walking back and forth. R
how did your blanket do, were you warm enough?
+PAUL WOOLRICH It was perfect. I was fine in the high 30's and low 40's. The tyvek helps and a sleeping pad is even better if you have em. I plan on doing a lot of videos with this blanket.
I asked because I saw the same blankets when I lived back home in England.
Well done Joe! Looks like a great spot,great blanket find!!! I dig the versatility!!!
+joesneon Thanks Joe! Can't beat a good yard sale find. Headed out to guide a kayaking trip in there Peconic bay. Best regards, Joe
What a nice area with the sound of the creek to fall asleep. That's a very nice blanket but I have no idea what 4 points means. I'll have to look that up. The ending scene with fire and water was pretty cool. I thought your rock stool was actually a stack of rock pillows. Oh yeah, comfy! :-D
+The On Grid Homestead Taking Missy there soon! :D More videos to come and a bunch of new sites I have scouted out! :D
I have to concur with Kerrie Grant as to the quality of Whitney blankets. I have 4 Whitney blankets inherited upon my mother's death. I'm half English(my mother being a war bride from WWII). Though she lived out her life in the US, throughout the years she purchased things English. Thankfully the Whitney blankets were part of that. One of them is a match to yours. One is a pale yellow and the other two are kind of a pink or chartreuse(not very manly so want to dye them if possible). You have something worth hanging on to. I intend for mine to be with me until I die. Thanks for another great video and please continue with the extended endings. Be safe.
+radicaljoe Great minds think alike! Thanks for the background story. Very cool! I'm loving this blanket for sure. Best regards, Joe
Awesome!
+Hike with Mike Thanks Mike! :D Best regards, Joe
What part of the world is this?
+lorax1968 New York :D
no big cats there either, eh?
Why isn't your wife with you? Wouldn't it be more fun with her along?
