  • In this video I camp like an Australian Bush Settler from 200 years ago with Traditional Vintage Camping Gear. I build a Historical era pioneer shelter with a home made Oil Skin Tarp, and sleep in my Oil Skin Swag. I do some traditional Australian Bush cooking making a Wild Rabbit Stew and Cooking some Traditional Damper.

    That was a very relaxing video, thanks for sharing Luke. Nice to see someone cooking up a feed of good old rabbit, nothing like a good old rabbit stew ,not much better than that except maybe crumbed rabbit.

    Mate you have no idea how much good this vid did me, or maybe you do. I live in London UK and have been going through some hectic weeks at work, now I'm off sick, and just loving every second of this and your other vids. Going to binge watch your channel the next few days.
    Not as good as actually being there of course but still watching this is doing me the world of good. Later this summer I will be doing some wild camping in Shropshire.

      Hey mate, thanks heaps for taking the time to comment .. that means a lot. Stoked to hear the videos are enjoyable and doing some good for ya.
      I've always been fascinated by some of those wild plains in England. I'm a big Lord of the rings fan and I know Tolkien was inspired by the English and Scottish countryside. Sounds like you some good 'right to roam' laws over there as well?

      @@TheBeardedBushranger Right to roam laws are only really in Scotland, if you mean by that right to wild camp as well. Also on Dartmoor but there are ranches bigger than Dartmoor in Oz. There's an unwritten rule that you can camp above the line of the any drystone wall in mountainous areas like the Lake District, but only from dusk til dawn, and obviously leave no trace. But to be honest it's easy to wild camp without trespassing if you know what you are doing, there are lots of little workarounds, for example alongside canals. As long as you're not a dick about it and don't make a mess it's no problem.

    Hey Luke, enjoying your new channel! Just a quick question: I hand-crafted a bedroll from duck cotton canvas a while ago for my 1800s-themed hunts. I haven't waterproofed it yet because I'm unsure about the safety of soaking your bed cover in highly flammable turpentine and linseed oil (even though it is historically correct) and sleeping with it near open fires. How's your DIY oil trap working out? Also, how much turpentine and linseed oil did you use for the canvas? Thanks and keep those awesome videos coming! Greetings from South Africa!

    • @TheBeardedBushranger
      @TheBeardedBushranger  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Great questions. So I used a 50 / 50 mixture of linseed oil and mineral turpentine. I can't remember exactly how much I used of each, but just filled up a bucket and made sure it was a 50 / 50 mix. You can make up a mix and paint it on (which I did here) but I do find it is better if you can soak the whole cloth into one big bucket / mixture. I have both a heavy duty canvas one (here) and a light cotton fabric one which I use for carrying out bush as a bedroll.
      Once the material has fully dried and cured (I found from 2 to 3 weeks) it won't be flamible. I've lit a spark and light on all my oil skins to test it and show that it won't catch on fire.
      I reguarly sleep right near a fire with my oil skins, and they are much less likely to get damage from a spark then your normal tarp or tent material.
      Though on my most recent trip with mattsy from the silly swagman, a rock exploded in our fire and a big coal landed on my oil skin .. it did burn a hole through the material, but considering how big the piece of coal was I was still impressed how little of the oil skin actually burnt.
      Thanks for watching the vids.

      @@TheBeardedBushranger Thanks for your quick feedback. It was quite a test dealing with the campfire incident, but I'm relieved that no one got hurt. Your advice has made me feel more at ease about waterproofing my bedroll canvas. Using light cotton linen canvas sounds like a great idea for traveling light-I'll definitely look into it. Thanks again for the helpful videos.
      P.S. I noticed you also enjoy tobacco. My go-to daily smoke is a local brand called "Jock," named after the famous Staffy dog, Jock of the Bushveld. It's a Virginia leaf with a caramel topping.
