Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thank you for this detailed description and demonstration of how to make a "cowboy bedroll." I saw this method 50 years ago in a Boy Scout Handbook and have searched high and low trying to find how it is done. Finally, 5 decades later and I come across your channel....Thank you so very much.
Couldn't say it better.
Probably the most honest video regarding this type of sleep system I've seen...thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us.
Good thing cowboys have mule teams to carry all this bull$h!t. It's almost as good as a 4 pound sleeping bag.
I've used a reasonably light sleeping bag...(30 degrees F.) With a good oil tarp and air mattress on the ground out in the open and woke up to 2 feet of fresh snow on top...it was -10 and I was COMFORTABLE !!
My Dad taught me to sleep this way 70 years ago...his Dad taught him...Grandpa was born in 1867 and this manner of sleeping and covering up WORKS! Listen to this man!!🤗😎
Raymond Ussery done this myself -it does work
Yep. It works.
I believe you. Those oldtimers had to know their stuff. Another thing you can do if you don't have a ground cushion it is Pine branches or Dead Leaves. Anything to give you that insulation.
I really like this fellow. My grandfather was a real cowboy long ago. He would show us bush craft. This fellow reminded me alot of him and his gentle soft spoken way.
We have great memories of our grandpa as a kid I remember my grandpa making Rabbits head out of handkerchief. I was about 5 or 6 years old when he did that. Now I'm on Social Security it's been a long time ago.
A 10 x 10 16 oz tarpaulin (18 oz after waterproof treatment) weighs 13 lbs. The average wool blanket weighs 4 lbs. This is a fantastic idea for sleeping, and eliminates the necessity of a conventional shelter...until you can erect a better setup. Edit: And it seems I made this exact same comment eight months ago. I didn't see it, or I'd have not bothered commenting again.
"I froze." I had a good chuckle at that. Thanks for yet another informative video.
The diagonal trick for the blanket is appreciated. Reminds me of how we swaddled our kids when they were babies.
John Klopp basically a sleeping bag. Old guys are going to have a real problem with bladderissues
I thought the exact same thing. Said to myself " Oh,.a baby swaddle, thats easy. ! " lol
@@philip48230 Not only old guys. A few beers before bedtime and ... eh ... :D
Hahaha. That’s what was going thru my mind
@@philip48230 Put an MT Gatorade bottle inside with ya when getting in then you don't have to get out of bed and it'll warm you up even more.
Thomas Early started a weaving apprenticeship in 1669, he inherited the company in 1711/12(the start of the Early Whitney blanket company) The Hudsons Bay Company partners did their first trading in about 1663 and where incorporated in 1670, well before 1711. Great bedroll by the way!
When I was homeless I found milk crates to keep me off the ground by making a platform .
One night I woke up with ice blocks for feet and I needed to pee.
I peed into a milk jug and used it as a hot water bottle, worked great.
You have to be able to extricate yourself pretty quick though.
Do not use trash bags as they hold moisture in and eventually the condensation freezes and you get wet .
Trash bags, correct. But they can be used like a tarp cover. To block wind and rain. Just put a pebble in the corner and tie around it for ridgeline... duct tape helps too. I one time taped a couple of cut bags together, and used a mylar blanket on the inside as a shelter tarp just to see if it would work. Duct tape the corners, and it won't rip if you make an eye hook. I rather tape a looped cord inside. To use for that. As junkie as it looked it was warm in cold. And flip it mylar out and it was cool in heat. It'll last a few weeks. The sun ruins the plastic sacks fairly quick. But it is so much cheaper than the ones you buy.
I've woke up with ice on my hat . I'm in the uk we went camping walked to the local pub it was full of dogs and people so had to eat outside -5c . Then went to bed dont know what temperature it was but it was the best nights sleep i had in a long time . Some people can't sleep if they're warm I'm one of them but the wife needs to be warm other wise she stops up all night telling me how cold she is and can i close the windows
I like your wrap idea. I was camping 8000 feet above Atemajac de Brizuela, Mexico last month, didn't bother setting up a tent, and around 2am with the winds howling up the mountain, I realized my NorthFace Cat's Meow mummy bag, rated at 22 degrees F, was not sufficient. I was cold, the fire was about out and I didn't want to get up and stoke it again. I had one wool medium blanket with me as a back up, so I laid it out, placed my mummy bag on the edge of it, climbed in the bag, grabbed the edge of the wool blanket next to me and rolled myself and the mummy bag up in the wool blanket like a hand rolled cigarette... or what ever else you like to hand roll. I was warm and all was well till I had to go pee at around 5am. Had to inch worm myself out of the top of the blanket and bag. My Euro Boxer pup climbed in the bag while I was busy taking care of business, and feeling sorry for my faithful buddy, I let him stay put,and stoked up the fire and started a pot of coffee. Wool blankets may not be enough used alone, but they supplement nicely, if you know how to roll one. Brum
Brumfield I enjoyed your story
That's because north face is made in China garbage lol get a proper sleeping bag if camping. My sleeping bag is rated for -22 Celsius and I've been warm within it at -30 Celsius.
get bent what brand is yours? How heavy is it?
@ brumfield, dogs and wool blankeys! Funny story but yea, totally believable.
If you'd carry along a 1oz. Mylar blanket, if it got 20 degrees colder, wouldn't matter! It reflects 80% of your body heat back to you!!!
How they don't have you doing voice overs is beyond me! You are a gem Lonnie!
Love how your subjects are always thoroughly explained especially for novices...
You and your wife seem like some GREAT folks! I hope and pray for as many years of learning, fun, and growing together as you guys have had! God bless and keep up the great work!
Lonnie ... This is an oldie but goodie!!! I love the old bedroll and the cowboy ways. Thank you!!! Great video!!! Chuck.Knight. 🤠👍
Hi Lonny thank you again. This video has made me laugh, I can never get through a night without having to pee. I know if I had no other choice but to employ this method I would. But I much prefer a good mummy bag. Plus I never sleep in clothing and I don't sleep in any one position all night. I have spent many months at a time sleeping in a tent with one of three mummy bags depending on the season I always put my clothing in a large contractor bag and order it so that my polyester fleece is the first layer I can put on in the morning while I sit up in the sleeping bag and even my jacket or parka can be accessed before I start with my lower half. It works great and I have camped this way down to minus 20 and possibly lower. I use a 1. 5 " thick themarest and it has served me well with out ever needing repair. If the I need camp in much lower temps adding a good blanket over the bag does the trick. I have camped with little to no gear and built shelters and I do practice bush craft skills. But as a former boy scout I find it hard to escape my tendencies to always be prepared. I love the out doors but like to enjoy a little comfort. It's fun to listen to a pounding winter storm while enjoying the shelter of well employed gear.
It's Great to see someone who enjoys what they do....
I love this system too and it's kept me dry even in a rain storm. I had a good bough bed under me and kept me off of the wet ground. A 10 × 10 waterproof 16 oz canvas tarp weighs 13 lbs and wool blankets weigh about 4.5 lb each, so If a person builds up their leg strength and their stamina, there's not much reason why they can't pack this. Of course, having a large enough pack with an efficient suspension system and balancing their load makes a major difference too. I have this exact thing strapped to a 16 × 32 inch poplar Alaska pack board, with A.L.I.C.E. straps and kidney pad, and even with 20 lbs worth of gear for a one-week trip it's not that bad. Gross weight is 46 lbs, tare weight is 4 lbs. Of course, the tarp has everything folded inside of it.
If you'd add a Mylar blanket, weighs about two ounces, reflects 80% of your body heat back, is really warm!!
Well said
Great vid as usual. Thanks for teaching real woodsman skills.
One of the best demonstrations on how to do it correctly. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Lonnie! I watched this video over a year ago and just rewatched it to refresh my memory!
Thanks, Lonnie! I've always wondered how that worked, and now I know thanks to you. Cheers!
I seem to remember that this method used to be taught in First Aid for wrapping a patient for transport on a stretcher. Partly for warmth and partly to keep them relatively still. Great video, thanks.
I really like this setup cant wait to try it
This perfectly doubles as an ASMR video.
I've learned bunches from your videos over the years. Thanks Lonnie 👍
THANKS LONNIE and CONNIE AWESOME
High Lonnie. I've been watching your videos for a while now and enjoy them a lot and find them helpful and informative. a few weeks ago due to unforeseeable events I was forced to sleep in below freezing temperature's. with just 2 light blankets in my single person tent I froze and could not get, or stay warm. After falling asleep I woke up a short time later shivering. shortly after, I remembered this video and tried it with my blankets and I actually slept throughout the night and was perfectly warm when I awoke. honestly I believe this video saved my life( or at the very least saved me from 3 cold miserable nights). please keep up the fantastic work and thank you so much for sharing this with us
Hey there Lonnie and Connie! Please don't ever stop sharing your knowledge with us! I just love your videos. The way you do, the environment of videos, the explanation all just perfect. Thank you for all the effort and work you put in these lessons!
Awesome Video and very cool camera angles! Thanks Lonnie.
Thanks Lonnie and Connie. I learn something every time.
Thumbs up!
Lonnie, amazing video.....Never knew there was a right and wrong way to use a blanket..Lonnie, you know everything! God Bless Bill
Im just using this technique and its brilliant!
Such a so well explained bed roll method. Lonnie this video is by far the best I ever saw on how to setup a bed roll, and all the explanations you give are so valuables. Thanks so much.
Ciao from Québec ⚜
*warning!: empty your bladder before ya do this haha**
oh no just piss in the roll it will warm ya fast lol
Yeah and don’t drink anything for 2 hours before bedtime!
I was thinking with my tiny bladder going to the bathroom once or twice in the night might be a pain in the rear.
@@unknownguy3229 Pissing actually makes you lose heat. The heat in that piss came from your body heat.
I can promise I'd have to pee about the time I was done folding that up.
Seems I remember this video,
GREAT advice for layering,
SURE keeps you warmer.
As always, everyone needs to remember this one.
Love the video, thats how I do it with a wool blanket and a tarp. Makes a great quick waterproof system when I am out hiking.
Such good instruction. Makes a lot of sense.
Your knowledge is priceless! I'd love to hear your story, how you became this involved into the bush!
Great video. I've been having problems with both sleeping in a blanket and with my bow drill, and you've helped me with both. Thank you!
I appreciate your wisdom! Thank you.
That was the best bed roll video ever
Thanks for sharing, Lonnie - always appreciate your videos. Put twice as much under you as you have over you.
Wonderful demonstration! I just love your videos Lonnie! I used to sleep outside under the stars like that when I was younger. Wool blankets usually 2 and wrapped up just like that. Sleeping near the fire. Just awesome! Thanks for sharing. ~Dawn
Excellent! I'm going to try the blanket set up in conjunction with my bivy sack.
Excellent !
I like the way this guy explains stuff. It reminds me a lot of my grandfather
this dude is awesome
Lonnie this is probably the best demonstration of the system around! You always make sure it's top notch my friend! Well done Lonnie and Connie.
Learned a lot as usual, thanks Lonnie!
Great information!
Thank you Lonnie!
Stay safe and keep having fun!
Great tips Lonnie.
Thank you and God bless you
You're the cool uncle I always wanted
Thanks for another great video Lonnie!!
Nice video, thanks Lonnie.
I learned one night the hard way winter camping on Vancouver island a few years ago - it was a relatively warm evening for November and I was up on a rock face and laid my stuff down on rock. I had my fairly heavy wool blanket ( a bit thinner than yours) which I wrapped around me and had a piling of a sleeping bag under me and I chose a rock pad which had a lot of Moss growth I could lay on. Well I woke up a few hours after I fell asleep with obviously the cold from the rock entering my body and the indication I get is cramps (in my legs) and my heart was racing. I was not dehydrated (which usually causes cramps in me) so this was due to that transfer of cold energy. Essential video Lonny.
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you sir for this trick you have shared here,i will never be cold sleeping anywhere ever again.
simple camp bedding rig, nice!
That high camera angle was very nice, thanks man!
Very good video, thanks Lonnie. I had wool blankets as a child and when I moved over to modern duvets found I need that weight on me to get to sleep.
That's pretty cool 😎
This still one of the most useful videos on TH-cam 😊
Great video Lonnie with good information. Thanks.
