Thank you, Vanessa, for speaking to outdoor ethics, leave no trace, and advocating for "making do with what we have". As a Scout leader, I have always floated the idea that "less is more". All of us have a responsibility to protect what we have for future generations. Respect.
Your English is fine! It takes effort to leave a place as you found it. Enjoy the challenges of less equipment, being quiet and listening to nature. Relax and be still for a time. Thank you Vanessa!
Vanessa, people like you are the answer to conserving forest, nature, and the future of bushcraft by teaching. Thank God your videos reaches thousands people around the WORLD. You are a teacher. Love that smile..😙 Texas
You said it perfectly. If children learned at school the proper way to treat the forest when they are young they would grow up and teach their children.
We really do need more like you Vanessa. Too many that abuse nature. It starts at teaching kids how to respect and love nature. Your a sweet soul and I'm grateful for you caring. 🌲🍁🌻🌹
Dear Vanessa, bushcraft especially your show i have seen your purpose is to blend into the environment, everything you do gets recycled back to the earth its very green friendly. I wish only better times ahead for you and a your craft that is affordable and should be considered a global pastime. You Keep raising the esteem for this great free lifestyle Vanessa. hope to see you soon 🌞🌞🌞 with only brighter days to come oh and my camp food favourite is sausages too. i love the Bavarian sausages in your show looked delicious. yum
Thank you for addressing this subject. There are very good reasons why Leave No Trace principles were developed and why we should follow those principles. Traditional bushcraft skills should be learned, but they should not be relied upon save for in emergency situations. The impact of woodburning and cutting trees in the backcountry quickly multiplies as more and more people engage in these practices. I don't see the problem as people using too much gear, but rather the opposite. People don't carry enough gear, and expect to rely upon cutting trees for shelter and burning fires for warmth, instead of carrying those things. No one wants to go into the backcountry to experience Nature only to find the impact of careless bushcrafters marring the landscape.
morning vanessa, yep now days more people r getting into bushcraft, and yes it was called survival years ago, but have advanced now. and you are a person that loves nature and thats good i also love nature and raised up on a farm so i know where you are comming from. you enjoy your day ! waiting for your next video.
Hi Vanessa your voice and message was loud and clear. I live in a village in the New forest in the uk. It is 566 km squared 118 km squared is woodland. The vision you see for the future of the Forrest has already arrived here. No camping, no fires, no live wood, mo dead wood use and no knife carry. The only way I can practice bushcraft legally is to rent a corner of a field. So you have already answered the question of the future of bushcraft have designated area's within the forest although I have no doubt this will come at a cost financially as well as freedom. Thank you for bringing this issue to light
Thank you Vanessa this is a topic that we all need to hear.I live in Kamloops B.C and I see similar problems here.Unfortunately there are always people who behave badly in nature it is very sad.Thank for your knowledge and information on wild edible plants I love your videos.🙂👍
The problem V is that all are not brought up in a semi rural / natural environment. Respect for the environment should go without having to say. When raised in concrete you think like a stone. Kind regards Gregory
Gregory, I was raised "in concrete" and I believe you are correct. But I had opportunities to experience nature as a youth. I thus ultimately moved to the woods to live. Vanessa's message is "spot on".
Btw, one of the reasons, I subbed to your channel, is your philosophy of wildlife conservation. You and Survival Lilly's channel are very good at showing true Stewardship of our Natural resources. Bless you both.
Yes Vanessa, today we are conditioned to be consumers. I am no different, I want that knife, and then that knife, and also that knife.... But lately, I have been thinking the same as you, enough buying, more now about the experience of being in nature. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Best wishes from UK.
Great video and Vanessa reviews. It is incredible to see that, both from Germany, when in Brazil, we have similar problems related to the practice of brushcraft. People here also need to respect more the natural environments they frequent, where there are people, there is trash and this is a horror. Another point that you mentioned and makes me very uncomfortable are music players in the forest. People do not go to the woods to hear the sounds of nature, listen to the birds, the wind, the sound of leaves, people will hear bad music, and loud. This makes me very sick. They leave trash, drink and make a lot of noise. The environment of the forest must be respected, its trees, its animals should be appreciated, if a person goes to a forest to listen to music, she did not really want to be there. Thanks for your videos, I'm your fan.
I cannot make to many comments today, you said it all so perfectly. I am a rather private person and live on 5 acres of woodland so I have space to move . I love My woods, you would be welcome here anytime
I love your show, You tell it like it is, people need to understand how to camp in the right way and you do just that. I take wildlife Photo, and sometimes stay out overnight. You have helped me in so may way for this I Thank You. My age is 63, from Omaha, Nebraska.
Hi Vanessa, like I’ve said before, “There is always that 10% that screw it up for everyone else.” I have a lot of respect for you as I’ve seen you carry out other people’s trash, I’ve seen you leave food for the animals when you leave, and I’ve seen you give thanks to nature for the things it has given you. Plus you always leave the area you camp in as if you were never there. I know a lot of people love bush crafting but I think a lot of people got into bush crafting the last 10 years because of the world situation. I have friends that put together a bug-out bag just in case of an earthquake, or a flood or any other tragedy and a lot of them are new to bush crafting, but there learning. Anyway, I believe in what you said, and hopefully people will listen and learn from watching you! Take Care Vanessa & Be Careful…….
Very pertinent statement.I understand your concern about the respect of wild life.I am sure that people like you can have a positive impact by making people more aware about those issues.Thank you so much it was really interesting
Another mighty fine vlog. Your message is very clear and you ask great questions. Your respect and love for the environment is contagious. Thank you for posting. You are a great teacher.
Hey gorgeous! 🌹😘💕 Good vid! The camping with luxury thing, we call it glamping!! I always try to leave the scrub better than I find it if possible! Keep up the good work babe! Look forward to your next vid!!! XOXO, lots of love!!! Bazza!
Thank you for sharing this video many share your feelings. Love and respect nature. Steve Smith said it "I Try to not leave any evidence of me being there." That should be the mind set of all.
Awesome video my beautiful lady. I am like u I leave the woods as it was when I leave.my is from my military training called stealth. U leave ur camp the way it was before so no one knows u were there.i have used others trash though to make things I could use. Keep up ur good work on trying to educate people.
A very good video on a subject that needs to be addressed. We in the US have seen places closed to everyone due to people abusing nature. The key to saving nature is in educating people the importance of saving it.
Great video 👍 I was raised on a farm still live on the same farm it provided for us so we respected it I think I just learned nature was my friend at an early age thanks for sharing your thoughts
Yeah, I now own three hand-crafted bushcraft (or "outdoors") knives, and while I don't regret buying any of them, I can only use one of them at a time while outdoors. And of course those three knives are in addition to the other less expensive bushcraft knives I already had! My wife gives me a hard time for having so much gear in my collection. Even with as much stuff as I have, I like to go out and to generally use as simple of gear as is possible. Less stuff can be "more".
Another good video and very informative on the environment thanks Professor Vanessa and have a peaceful and blessed upcoming week ahead and family and friends regards hugs!!
It would find it very interesting to see a video of you learning flit knaping and hand made fiber making. I tend to see you show the mistakes you make when you try the new things. I find it very endearing , your style of showing nature. Thank you for your honesty !!
Hi Vanessa,we must preserve nature,and leave it as we find it.We really must try to make it impossible for anyone to know we have even been there by tidying up,taking our rubbish away.A little bit of flattened grass where we slept is no problem,it will stand up again. But the people who tear the place up with quads etc,and drive up creaks and rivers on four wheel drives busting everything up,scaring animals,and just making a nuisance of themselves,and the loud music,they should all stay at home. The experience in the nature is special and spectacular,and you must be quiet to get the best experience,and to see some animals if you are lucky.I have been turned away from places,or not allowed to go there any more because of other stupid irresponsible people who have spoiled it for everyone else.I hear everything you are trying to explain,and I agree with you👍 See you in the next video,best wishes 😊
Very well said, Vanessa. If everyone would practice what you do, we could all do "bushcraft" and our grandchildren and great grandchildren will be able to do the same thing. When you get to be my age, 79, you want to be able to go into the woods without anyone knowing you have been there unless they see ONLY YOUR FOOTPRINTS. When I go I want to be comfortable, but everything I need must come out with me whether I am hiking, camping or hunting. Keep up the good work!
First keep doing what you are doing and never give up your love for "the nature". the problem you have to start with in Germany is that you have no contiguous forest. the forested areas are heavily broken up. The mountain regions of the south seem a little more open for trekking. The mountains are primitive and dangerous and challenging. (if you don't believe me just ask Otzi) Here in the us if a forest is privately owned you are not really allowed to Trespass on that land. Private property is posted, where along boundaries every so many feet there is a sign. We have lots of state parks as you describe where you can camp. There is also some public land as well in every state. Here in the US there is much more open space and larger state and national forests. National Forest differs from National Parks. As you go further west in the US the forests and Deserts get bigger, and of course Alaska is still Dangerously large where you might never be found. The natural world is shrinking fast. Knowing what to do in the woods can be the difference between life and death. Knowing what to have in your pockets on a day hike or hunting trip can be that same difference. i can site many stories of a hunter that got lost or a ice fisherman that got stranded on the ice for days but all survived. I some cases by luck but in all cases they took their knowledge for granted and made a mistake. I an site dozens of examples where people innocently went out into the wild and paid sever prices for their inexperience. So practice survival skills, that are necessary to adapt, improvise and over come the circumstances you are in. Felix is so inventive, I bet that guy with a book of matches and a Swiss army knife can do anything.. great example of improvisation, trough knowledge and experience . Bush-craft is really only one thing, a marketing category. It is a way of studying the buying habits of a group of people in order to sell them all kinds of useless junk, that they probably already have, and to sell you stuff they don't you need. Also realize there is a ton of Amazon, Google and TH-cam metadata available to marketing companies to mine and target. The market is big for sure. Most of us have at least 80 percent of the gear and 90 percent of the know how. In all cases we just have not connected the dots yet. Buying all this useless gear stifles our ability to adapt, improvise and over come the stress and adversity of a survival situation. Sellers further widen the category by adding things like survival gear, survival schools, tactical gear tactical knives, (to go further) tactical survival or tactical scout vs tactical survival scout, tracker, tracker scout, scout tracker, Primitive, primitive living, primitive scout tracker, primitive living specialist, need i go on? Really? . that little survival tin wont do much but the tactical survival Altoids tin will. This will draw in every outdoors wanna be to generate a false sense of security. Knowledge is king, knowledge coupled with experience over time is what separates the men from the boys. Learning to crawl, then stand and then walk is the name of the game.. going out into the woods with a tarp, a poncho, a poncho liner, knife saw and axe is not for everybody. You need to seriously confront the question “What do I do if there is no resupply?” What do I so when I run out of snacks, and the food I can carry? What do I do when there is no home to go to and it is snowing in the woods? Can I survive? Bugging out is a very serious thing. Primitive living, going out with just the cloths on your back, sheltering, making stone tools, building a shelter, obtaining food and water are skills most of us don’t and my never have especially if you live in a city>. primitive living can only be done by a hand full of people. Learn, practice and then go do it. We all need to just get out there and do it, and get to know your limits. I hope none of us is tested to the point of harm SO stay out of the bush craft category and go out and become WOODSMAN! get out there and do it Knowing your limitations and being prepared for your limitations is probably the best advice . Obtain as much knowledge as is humanly possible. No matter how much knowledge you pack you can carry an almost infinite amount of it. Never take your knowledge for granted a lapse in judgment can cost you a limb or your life. Be methodical in your practice and never skip a step. How is it les stroud is still alive?? 👍🔥🐕🐻🔪🏕👍👍J
Here in the desert southwestern U.S., we have very few bushcrafters. The desert can be a very hostile and unforgiving place. Mistakes can be fatal when in open desert; especially in summer heat. Fall and Spring are a bit more forgiving, but one must always be on guard for venomous local wildlife and unpredictable weather. I like your philosophy Vanessa, starting out early in school with young people is the way to do instill respect for our precious natural areas. Your empathy for everything living shows very much in all your videos. I love the sound of that cuckoo in the video!
Vanessa, I think you are right on point with everything you said. Here in the US, when visiting the wilderness, we say, "Pack it in, pack it out," and "take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints." All that means is if you bring something with you to your camping place, take it with you when you leave; and, don't take souvenirs from the wilderness - take pictures of the things you want to remember and don't leave anything behind (such as empty beer cans, trash, or plastic containers) - leave only your footprints. Of course, if you make a campfire, it should be completely out and cold when you leave, and covered over with earth, moss, etc., if that is possible. Some campers also pick up trash left behind by careless people and dispose of it properly We have much public land in the US where anyone can hike or camp, or practice bushcraft or other outdoor hobbies. We have camp sites that are developed so that people who like to camp with RVs, trailers, etc. can use them, and we have many millions of acres of wilderness areas where it is only permitted to go into them on foot or horseback - no vehicles allowed, so wild camping is done there. The best idea is to "leave it the way you found it," which is what you mentioned. Alles liebe.
Sadly there are a lot of people that do not have much common sense or respect for anything. I agree Teaching about this is the best option --- You are doing a great job getting people to think about and care for Nature through your TH-cam Channel and everything you do. --- And once again, thank you for doing an English version of this Video !!
Love your videos,to see you and hear you.It is always instructive and entertaining.Since you started on youtube your evolution is out of sight. (fantastic).So thank you very much.
Miss the forest could handle much more if people practiced the idea of leave no trace. Too many think I will camp and go home. not enough natural and be thankful and protective of nature. You are one of the first to adress this problem. I think you are a very considerate and worthy person for nature. Worry not about the haters. All success to you Miss!!
Hi Vanessa, here in the UK, until I found your channel, I had not heard of Bushcraft, and now, I find it so exciting, thanks to you! You raise so many important points, like people who have no respect for nature, who come to the forest for a day and decimate an area, and leave all their rubbish behind, who's going to clear it up? You get a crowd on a beach, and it takes an army to clean up after them! You are passionate about nature, and enjoy the challenge of survival with the minimum of luxuries. People who bring their home comforts into the woods, are not practicing bushcraft, they should camp out in their gardens to have luxuries on hand. Perhaps a limit on what you're allowed to bring into the forest could help. You say sites are available where people can learn, and to find out if it's for them, because it takes a lot of dedication and a sense of adventure to succeed. Otherwise, if it gets out of hand, it could destroy the wonderful world of bushcraft for the dedicated. Vanessa, you're a great advocate for the cause.
Excellent presentation. What you described as bush-craft I would have called primitive camping many many years ago. You carry everything you need in a backpack. Most of those areas in the state of Florida you won't find anymore because of the tourist areas. Camp grounds are mostly designed for RV's and not necessarily tent campers. I watch a lot of videos now that involve emergency prepping, bugging out and survival. One of the best ones I watch is the Gray Bearded Green Beret. I have a lot of respect for his channel because he shows a lot of techniques from his training and experience. There are others that as you stated cut down trees instead of using dead or downed trees. Some of the hunters I watch get mad when they come across campsites that people have left all their trash and debris and then don't know how to make a latrine or that you completely fill it in when you move on. You keep up the fantastic work you do and I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future.
Hello Vanessa, so enjoy your videos. Here is a quote that I read which was anonymous. Quote ' If trees sent out WIFI signals we would all be planting them like crazy. It;s a pity they only send out the oxygen we breathe hey '' ! Unquote
Well said. While mankind depends on nature he wasn’t designed to live in the wilderness. Both an understanding of your limitations and respect for the plants and wildlife are necessary. I have enjoyed my trips into wilderness areas. I try to take enough stuff to be reasonable comfortable. I enjoy your videos.
Vanessa, I love watching your channel for your philosophy, techniques and knowledge but I do have to say..you have the biggest most beautiful eyes. Thank you for the vids.
Great attitude! Thanks for bringing up this important subject! P.S. Try to stay a little bit more to the point, it was a little bit long-winded, especially in the beginning in my opinion;) Cheers, Julius
We Bush craft like the American Indians Did, we are Cherokee blood good video love you carry-on, USA Tennessee Prepper smoky mountains Tennessee,🥰🙏😇🌹🇺🇸👍
Youth groups like boy and girl scouts can be an amazing boost for children with intrests in the outdoors. The fragility of nature and it's resources are a volatile political issue. Respecting your habitat wether it's in the city or wilderness is a responsibility for all beings. Bushcrafting is the ability to make useful items in the wilderness from natural resources. Wilderness survival is using personal skills to survive in the wilderness. An outdoorsman is a person that engages in at least 1 of a multitude of outdoor sports recreations or professions. Bigfoot is a rather large hairy fellow that wanders in the sacred woods burying unsuspecting city dwellers.👀
I just watched this again! I love the most basic kind of camping!!! Smoke in the eyes!! Dirt & ash in the tucker!!! Bugs in the coffee!!! Doesn't get any better than that!!! 😝😜🌹❤️
This issue concerns all people that truly love nature, if we all could live by “leave no trace” that would go a long way. You are looking extra pretty today always look forward to your vids.
Hello Vanessa, excellent message! You summed up the problem in one word “respect”. The best way to impart respect is by example. That is what you do in all your videos. By following your example, we will be able to continue our hobby. Otherwise, more land will become off limits. As always looking forward to your next video. Best regards, be safe out there.
Vanessa, I am not sure of the Status of Scouting in Germany is but I personally learned to leave no trace while camping through my experience in Boy Scouting. The education o working with experienced scouting Leaders and then having the opportunity to practice those skills has made a big difference in my life. I saw the episode you did with the two young girls and thought you would make a great Girl Scout leader. Thank you for all you do and the example you set for others. My pack on the way home generally is somewhat heavier than on the way in because I carry a trash bag and sometimes I end up hauling a lot of other peoples trash out. Best wishes for you in all you do.
Hello Vanessa, I am Irish but I recently moved to the German part of Switzerland and I love to go on nature treks through the forest's in Switzerland so maybe I will see you some day 😊
Hi, this is Doug in Alberta. I find the bushcrafters on TH-cam have great respect for the environment and leave the site as if they hadn't been there. I think the worst offenders are probably the teenagers having 'bush parties' and other drinkers. I love watching your videos bc of your love for nature. Bavaria has so much interesting history, I also like when you explore old abandoned buildings too, you capture the zeitgeist of the era. It sparks the imagination. :) You're the best. Thank you.
Vanessa, You wear your heart and your spirit on your sleeve...the use and joy of all our environment including our forests ,,is all about "Respect"...So many people today have no idea what that means...to the environment,,to humanity or even to themselves....only time will let us know...at our loss.
Danke Vanessa, dass du dieses Video gemacht hast! Es ist ein Thema, das mir wichtig ist. Es tut mir weh, Menschen "in der Natur" zu sehen, aber sie haben "alles" aus ihrem gewohnten Leben mitgebracht! Die Natur ist NICHT der Ort für Bluetooth, MP3-Player usw. Sie können die Natur nicht wirklich erleben, wenn Sie sich auf Smartphones, MP3-Player, Unterhaltungsradios usw. konzentrieren. All diese Dinge sollten zu Hause gelassen werden. Und wenn Sie in die Natur gehen, ist es genauso wichtig, dass es keine Beweise dafür gibt, dass Sie jemals dort waren. Ich würde gerne einen "Overnighter" mit jemandem machen, der ein erfahrener Bushcraft-Mensch ist, aber ich habe Schlafapnoe und muss eine Maschine benutzen, wenn ich schlafe, und diese Art verhindert, dass ich über Nacht bleibe. Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihr Video und entschuldigen Sie bitte mein "Google German", aber ich hoffe, es ist gut genug, um meinen Standpunkt zu vermitteln.
Like the concept of designated Bushcraft spots When Nature is not respected; eventually, It returns the needless imbalances inflicted upon It Good talk Vanessa :)
Most people learn good manners and good rules at home...when you are a child and some at school but sadly these basic teachings are missing a lot. You are exemplary in your respect for nature and many will learn from you. Vanessa be brave a write: Vanessa's Handbook for Safe and Succesfull Buschrafting.... a paper book and yes a pdf download ...share all you have learned it will be a great hit.
Great subject, thank you for making this a topic. I think we have all seen the effects of what too much human presence and pressure does to an area, whether in the wild or in the "civilization". All bushcrafters must be ever conscious of their impact and take every effort to do minimal damage. Unfortunately, there is always an element and small percentage of people with a false sense of entitlement, who feel they are not accountable. It is a sad truth about humanity. Best regards and keep up the good work.
A very talked about subject Vanessa, and I totally agree with you. Sadly people do not respect people let alone nature, and adopt an attitude, it all for free and it's all for me to do as I please. How wrong are they and as you say they will always be guest in the outside world because very few have the knowledge not to be. In the UK you see many, packs as big as they can carry, a ton of shop bought food, and not a clue what to do should they lose or have to dump their pack or when the food runs outs, apart from look for a shop. That has little to nothing to do with the depth of nature and most people are about a far away from real nature as they can possibly get, very simply out of ignorance of simple living, where basically we all come from in the past, before even anyone had a knife or much else. Good topic, good video. Arthur (UK)
I agree with everything you said 110% i been in&out of the woods sent’s I was 8years old my parents would get so angry seeing people’s trash&destruction God Bless them there Bushcrafting with Jesus now”I get fighting mad when I see people’s trash&destruction at the lakes&woods&i feel responsible to clean it up&do!! I hope i never catch someone leaving a sight that way I’d probably go to jail😒in USA they make people take a hunting class in order to get there hunting license&we pay for a conservation tag even for fishing The way things are going I think they should make people take a class allso befor they go camping On does&do nots!! If they don’t have the tag...fine them maybe that would help Love to ya girl&Gods Blessings 👍🤠
Vanessa I started out in nature many years ago by my parents. I am a baby boomer meaning a child born shortly after end of World War 2. Millions of babies were asked to be born to replace our men and women who died in the great war. This started out camping to just have fun with family. But everyone knows that World War 3 is soon upon us. There is a push to learn how to survive quickly for long periods of time. We not only need to know how to build all types of shelters in wild if not have a tent, where to look for shelter and how to keep warm, where to look for water and clean water for safety, how to search out for the best and most used bushcraft equipment on the market so that we may survive when war comes soon! And Vanessa the biggest thing which I look most in you is how to forage for food, and different seasons certain foods can be found and how to prepare these foods, what elevations these foraged foods can be found, and cook them so that we can build confidence and not quit on life struggles to survive. Finding trees which produce water is a must to drink and also to use as food preparation. Learning from you how to make medicine and which plants are medicinal. Also how to make and prepare these medicines so we do not over dose on them. Vanessa I realize people are over buying stuff like me, but when SHTF I plan to share my stuff with others and to the best of my knowledge I plan to teach survival skills secretly to others. World War 3 is just around the corner and people need to get stuff and learn fast or they will die. These reasons are why I watch you so much! I thank you for teaching us how to forage. Above this I plan to also teach people about the scriptures and how to love one another. Don't give up on us!!! Paul from Oregon.
Man is above the animal. That's why we should know better. God made us stewards over the earth and animals. But we are not doing to good at it. And I agree bushcraft is getting to high tech and all about entertainment. , But it needs to be more about the old ways. And teaching others about the old way and how to Realy survive. But I still enjoy the Bushcrafting videos too. It great fun. Great video My Bavarian freind❤❤❤
Thank you, Vanessa, for speaking to outdoor ethics, leave no trace, and advocating for "making do with what we have". As a Scout leader, I have always floated the idea that "less is more". All of us have a responsibility to protect what we have for future generations. Respect.
Your English is fine! It takes effort to leave a place as you found it. Enjoy the challenges of less equipment, being quiet and listening to nature. Relax and be still for a time. Thank you Vanessa!
Vanessa, people like you are the answer to conserving forest, nature, and the future of bushcraft by teaching. Thank God your videos reaches thousands people around the WORLD. You are a teacher. Love that smile..😙 Texas
You said it perfectly. If children learned at school the proper way to treat the forest when they are young they would grow up and teach their children.
it isn't the schools job to raise your kids.they waste enough time as it is, teach them life yourself. take responsibility instead of put it on others
One word Vanessa you are beautiful god bless,😇🙏🇺🇸👍🌹❤️
thank you for the video. I am learning English and
I'm watching your videos. because, you are speak very slowly and clearly.
We really do need more like you Vanessa. Too many that abuse nature. It starts at teaching kids how to respect and love nature. Your a sweet soul and I'm grateful for you caring. 🌲🍁🌻🌹
Well said good advice. Leave things as you find them and respect the nature. Simple.
You've done such a great job Vanessa , you always lead by example. Lots of love and respect for you !!
Excellent video Vanessa! Very well thought out and informative. I feel exactly the same about nature and conservation.
Love your English love the truth about bush crafting love the video you are beautiful USA Tennessee prepper smoky mountains Tennessee 🌹🥰😇🙏🇺🇸👍
Very well said. 100% agree!!!!
Thank you Vanessa for your thoughtful comments and concerns. The problem is real and needs a solution.
Dear Vanessa, bushcraft especially your show i have seen your purpose is to blend into the environment, everything you do gets recycled back to the earth its very green friendly. I wish only better times ahead for you and a your craft that is affordable and should be considered a global pastime. You Keep raising the esteem for this great free lifestyle Vanessa. hope to see you soon 🌞🌞🌞 with only brighter days to come
oh and my camp food favourite is sausages too. i love the Bavarian sausages in your show looked delicious. yum
Thank you for addressing this subject. There are very good reasons why Leave No Trace principles were developed and why we should follow those principles. Traditional bushcraft skills should be learned, but they should not be relied upon save for in emergency situations. The impact of woodburning and cutting trees in the backcountry quickly multiplies as more and more people engage in these practices. I don't see the problem as people using too much gear, but rather the opposite. People don't carry enough gear, and expect to rely upon cutting trees for shelter and burning fires for warmth, instead of carrying those things. No one wants to go into the backcountry to experience Nature only to find the impact of careless bushcrafters marring the landscape.
When in the woods, I try to not leave evidence of my being there. Respect the Nature says it all.
I love your videos Vanessa, it is a good video 💚👍👍👍
morning vanessa, yep now days more people r getting into bushcraft, and yes it was called survival years ago, but have advanced now. and you are a person that loves nature and thats good i also love nature and raised up on a farm so i know where you are comming from. you enjoy your day ! waiting for your next video.
I've been doing bushcraft and survival skills since I was a kid in the late 1950's and 60's. We just called it "camping".
Hi Vanessa your voice and message was loud and clear. I live in a village in the New forest in the uk. It is 566 km squared 118 km squared is woodland. The vision you see for the future of the Forrest has already arrived here. No camping, no fires, no live wood, mo dead wood use and no knife carry. The only way I can practice bushcraft legally is to rent a corner of a field. So you have already answered the question of the future of bushcraft have designated area's within the forest although I have no doubt this will come at a cost financially as well as freedom. Thank you for bringing this issue to light
Thank you Vanessa this is a topic that we all need to hear.I live in Kamloops B.C and I see similar problems here.Unfortunately there are always people who behave badly in nature it is very sad.Thank for your knowledge and information on wild edible plants I love your videos.🙂👍
Thank you Vanessa.
The problem V is that all are not brought up in a semi rural / natural environment. Respect for the environment should go without having to say. When raised in concrete you think like a stone.
Kind regards
Gregory
Gregory, I was raised "in concrete" and I believe you are correct. But I had opportunities to experience nature as a youth. I thus ultimately moved to the woods to live. Vanessa's message is "spot on".
Btw, one of the reasons, I subbed to your channel, is your philosophy of wildlife conservation. You and Survival Lilly's channel are very good at showing true Stewardship of our Natural resources. Bless you both.
Very right said Vanessa, you know how to be in the nature in the good way, with your experience. Thank you!
Yes Vanessa, today we are conditioned to be consumers. I am no different, I want that knife, and then that knife, and also that knife.... But lately, I have been thinking the same as you, enough buying, more now about the experience of being in nature. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Best wishes from UK.
Great video and Vanessa reviews.
It is incredible to see that, both from Germany, when in Brazil, we have similar problems related to the practice of brushcraft.
People here also need to respect more the natural environments they frequent, where there are people, there is trash and this is a horror.
Another point that you mentioned and makes me very uncomfortable are music players in the forest. People do not go to the woods to hear the sounds of nature, listen to the birds, the wind, the sound of leaves, people will hear bad music, and loud. This makes me very sick. They leave trash, drink and make a lot of noise.
The environment of the forest must be respected, its trees, its animals should be appreciated, if a person goes to a forest to listen to music, she did not really want to be there.
Thanks for your videos, I'm your fan.
I cannot make to many comments today, you said it all so perfectly. I am a rather private person and live on 5 acres of woodland so I have space to move . I love My woods, you would be welcome here anytime
Thank you beautiful USA Tennessee prepper smoky mountains Tennessee
I love your show, You tell it like it is, people need to understand how to camp in the right way and you do just that. I take wildlife Photo, and sometimes stay out overnight. You have helped me in so may way for this I Thank You. My age is 63, from Omaha, Nebraska.
Hi Vanessa, like I’ve said before, “There is always that 10% that screw it up for everyone else.” I have a lot of respect for you as I’ve seen you carry out other people’s trash, I’ve seen you leave food for the animals when you leave, and I’ve seen you give thanks to nature for the things it has given you. Plus you always leave the area you camp in as if you were never there. I know a lot of people love bush crafting but I think a lot of people got into bush crafting the last 10 years because of the world situation. I have friends that put together a bug-out bag just in case of an earthquake, or a flood or any other tragedy and a lot of them are new to bush crafting, but there learning. Anyway, I believe in what you said, and hopefully people will listen and learn from watching you! Take Care Vanessa & Be Careful…….
Very pertinent statement.I understand your concern about the respect of wild life.I am sure that people like you can have a positive impact by making people more aware about those issues.Thank you so much it was really interesting
You are so Right.. Vanessa.. Everything you say in English.. You talk the Truth
Another mighty fine vlog. Your message is very clear and you ask great questions. Your respect and love for the environment is contagious. Thank you for posting. You are a great teacher.
Hey gorgeous! 🌹😘💕 Good vid! The camping with luxury thing, we call it glamping!! I always try to leave the scrub better than I find it if possible! Keep up the good work babe! Look forward to your next vid!!! XOXO, lots of love!!! Bazza!
One of your best yet, Well said, Vanessa.
Thank you for sharing this video many share your feelings. Love and respect nature. Steve Smith said it "I Try to not leave any evidence of me being there." That should be the mind set of all.
Awesome video my beautiful lady. I am like u I leave the woods as it was when I leave.my is from my military training called stealth. U leave ur camp the way it was before so no one knows u were there.i have used others trash though to make things I could use. Keep up ur good work on trying to educate people.
You're absolutely right Vanessa. Good message for all.
A very good video on a subject that needs to be addressed. We in the US have seen places closed to everyone due to people abusing nature. The key to saving nature is in educating people the importance of saving it.
A very important subject Vanessa, thanks for the lovely talk on the woods and nature. You look radiant sitting there with the sun shinning on you.
Very good !
Hi Vanessa, your absolutely correct. I love your English. :)))))))))
Great video 👍 I was raised on a farm still live on the same farm it provided for us so we respected it I think I just learned nature was my friend at an early age thanks for sharing your thoughts
Yeah, I now own three hand-crafted bushcraft (or "outdoors") knives, and while I don't regret buying any of them, I can only use one of them at a time while outdoors. And of course those three knives are in addition to the other less expensive bushcraft knives I already had! My wife gives me a hard time for having so much gear in my collection. Even with as much stuff as I have, I like to go out and to generally use as simple of gear as is possible. Less stuff can be "more".
Another good video and very informative on the environment thanks Professor Vanessa and have a peaceful and blessed upcoming week ahead and family and friends regards hugs!!
It would find it very interesting to see a video of you learning flit knaping and hand made fiber making. I tend to see you show the mistakes you make when you try the new things. I find it very endearing , your style of showing nature. Thank you for your honesty !!
Tread lightly and leave no trace! Great talk!
Hi Vanessa,we must preserve nature,and leave it as we find it.We really must try to make it impossible for anyone to know we have even been there by tidying up,taking our rubbish away.A little bit of flattened grass where we slept is no problem,it will stand up again.
But the people who tear the place up with quads etc,and drive up creaks and rivers on four wheel drives busting everything up,scaring animals,and just making a nuisance of themselves,and the loud music,they should all stay at home.
The experience in the nature is special and spectacular,and you must be quiet to get the best experience,and to see some animals if you are lucky.I have been turned away from places,or not allowed to go there any more because of other stupid irresponsible people who have spoiled it for everyone else.I hear everything you are trying to explain,and I agree with you👍
See you in the next video,best wishes 😊
Very well said, Vanessa. If everyone would practice what you do, we could all do "bushcraft" and our grandchildren and great grandchildren will be able to do the same thing. When you get to be my age, 79, you want to be able to go into the woods without anyone knowing you have been there unless they see ONLY YOUR FOOTPRINTS. When I go I want to be comfortable, but everything I need must come out with me whether I am hiking, camping or hunting. Keep up the good work!
Your English is very good,
all that is askedfor our sustainence , is a thank you to the Mother Earth .
All really good points. There is a dramatic difference between people like you who "care" , and those who don't . All the best to you; take care.
Great video! Great topic! Show respect. Clean up after yourself. There are gonna be many generations to come. They need clean woods to.
First keep doing what you are doing and never give up your love for "the nature". the problem you have to start with in Germany is that you have no contiguous forest. the forested areas are heavily broken up. The mountain regions of the south seem a little more open for trekking. The mountains are primitive and dangerous and challenging. (if you don't believe me just ask Otzi) Here in the us if a forest is privately owned you are not really allowed to Trespass on that land. Private property is posted, where along boundaries every so many feet there is a sign. We have lots of state parks as you describe where you can camp. There is also some public land as well in every state. Here in the US there is much more open space and larger state and national forests. National Forest differs from National Parks. As you go further west in the US the forests and Deserts get bigger, and of course Alaska is still Dangerously large where you might never be found. The natural world is shrinking fast. Knowing what to do in the woods can be the difference between life and death. Knowing what to have in your pockets on a day hike or hunting trip can be that same difference. i can site many stories of a hunter that got lost or a ice fisherman that got stranded on the ice for days but all survived. I some cases by luck but in all cases they took their knowledge for granted and made a mistake. I an site dozens of examples where people innocently went out into the wild and paid sever prices for their inexperience. So practice survival skills, that are necessary to adapt, improvise and over come the circumstances you are in. Felix is so inventive, I bet that guy with a book of matches and a Swiss army knife can do anything.. great example of improvisation, trough knowledge and experience . Bush-craft is really only one thing, a marketing category. It is a way of studying the buying habits of a group of people in order to sell them all kinds of useless junk, that they probably already have, and to sell you stuff they don't you need. Also realize there is a ton of Amazon, Google and TH-cam metadata available to marketing companies to mine and target. The market is big for sure. Most of us have at least 80 percent of the gear and 90 percent of the know how. In all cases we just have not connected the dots yet. Buying all this useless gear stifles our ability to adapt, improvise and over come the stress and adversity of a survival situation. Sellers further widen the category by adding things like survival gear, survival schools, tactical gear tactical knives, (to go further) tactical survival or tactical scout vs tactical survival scout, tracker, tracker scout, scout tracker, Primitive, primitive living, primitive scout tracker, primitive living specialist, need i go on? Really? . that little survival tin wont do much but the tactical survival Altoids tin will. This will draw in every outdoors wanna be to generate a false sense of security. Knowledge is king, knowledge coupled with experience over time is what separates the men from the boys. Learning to crawl, then stand and then walk is the name of the game.. going out into the woods with a tarp, a poncho, a poncho liner, knife saw and axe is not for everybody. You need to seriously confront the question “What do I do if there is no resupply?” What do I so when I run out of snacks, and the food I can carry? What do I do when there is no home to go to and it is snowing in the woods? Can I survive? Bugging out is a very serious thing. Primitive living, going out with just the cloths on your back, sheltering, making stone tools, building a shelter, obtaining food and water are skills most of us don’t and my never have especially if you live in a city>. primitive living can only be done by a hand full of people. Learn, practice and then go do it. We all need to just get out there and do it, and get to know your limits. I hope none of us is tested to the point of harm SO stay out of the bush craft category and go out and become WOODSMAN! get out there and do it Knowing your limitations and being prepared for your limitations is probably the best advice . Obtain as much knowledge as is humanly possible. No matter how much knowledge you pack you can carry an almost infinite amount of it. Never take your knowledge for granted a lapse in judgment can cost you a limb or your life. Be methodical in your practice and never skip a step. How is it les stroud is still alive?? 👍🔥🐕🐻🔪🏕👍👍J
Here in the desert southwestern U.S., we have very few bushcrafters. The desert can be a very hostile and unforgiving place. Mistakes can be fatal when in open desert; especially in summer heat. Fall and Spring are a bit more forgiving, but one must always be on guard for venomous local wildlife and unpredictable weather. I like your philosophy Vanessa, starting out early in school with young people is the way to do instill respect for our precious natural areas. Your empathy for everything living shows very much in all your videos. I love the sound of that cuckoo in the video!
Wild Crafting has been around sense the dawn of man . Much love and respect FFP
Vanessa, I think you are right on point with everything you said. Here in the US, when visiting the wilderness, we say, "Pack it in, pack it out," and "take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints." All that means is if you bring something with you to your camping place, take it with you when you leave; and, don't take souvenirs from the wilderness - take pictures of the things you want to remember and don't leave anything behind (such as empty beer cans, trash, or plastic containers) - leave only your footprints. Of course, if you make a campfire, it should be completely out and cold when you leave, and covered over with earth, moss, etc., if that is possible. Some campers also pick up trash left behind by careless people and dispose of it properly
We have much public land in the US where anyone can hike or camp, or practice bushcraft or other outdoor hobbies. We have camp sites that are developed so that people who like to camp with RVs, trailers, etc. can use them, and we have many millions of acres of wilderness areas where it is only permitted to go into them on foot or horseback - no vehicles allowed, so wild camping is done there. The best idea is to "leave it the way you found it," which is what you mentioned. Alles liebe.
💝 Love you big sister 👍👍👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sadly there are a lot of people that do not have much common sense or respect for anything. I agree Teaching about this is the best option --- You are doing a great job getting people to think about and care for Nature through your TH-cam Channel and everything you do. --- And once again, thank you for doing an English version of this Video !!
Love your videos,to see you and hear you.It is always instructive and entertaining.Since you started on youtube your evolution is out of sight. (fantastic).So thank you very much.
Awesome!.. Fantastic channel, great information and you are adorable😛
Miss the forest could handle much more if people practiced the idea of leave no trace. Too many think I will camp and go home. not enough natural and be thankful and protective of nature. You are one of the first to adress this problem. I think you are a very considerate and worthy person for nature. Worry not about the haters. All success to you Miss!!
You have a pure spirit.
Hi Vanessa, here in the UK, until I found your channel, I had not heard of Bushcraft, and now, I find it so exciting, thanks to you! You raise so many important points, like people who have no respect for nature, who come to the forest for a day and decimate an area, and leave all their rubbish behind, who's going to clear it up? You get a crowd on a beach, and it takes an army to clean up after them! You are passionate about nature, and enjoy the challenge of survival with the minimum of luxuries. People who bring their home comforts into the woods, are not practicing bushcraft, they should camp out in their gardens to have luxuries on hand. Perhaps a limit on what you're allowed to bring into the forest could help. You say sites are available where people can learn, and to find out if it's for them, because it takes a lot of dedication and a sense of adventure to succeed. Otherwise, if it gets out of hand, it could destroy the wonderful world of bushcraft for the dedicated. Vanessa, you're a great advocate for the cause.
Excellent presentation. What you described as bush-craft I would have called primitive camping many many years ago. You carry everything you need in a backpack. Most of those areas in the state of Florida you won't find anymore because of the tourist areas. Camp grounds are mostly designed for RV's and not necessarily tent campers. I watch a lot of videos now that involve emergency prepping, bugging out and survival. One of the best ones I watch is the Gray Bearded Green Beret. I have a lot of respect for his channel because he shows a lot of techniques from his training and experience. There are others that as you stated cut down trees instead of using dead or downed trees. Some of the hunters I watch get mad when they come across campsites that people have left all their trash and debris and then don't know how to make a latrine or that you completely fill it in when you move on. You keep up the fantastic work you do and I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future.
Hello Vanessa, so enjoy your videos. Here is a quote that I read which was anonymous. Quote ' If trees sent out WIFI signals we would all be planting them like crazy. It;s a pity they only send out the oxygen we breathe hey '' ! Unquote
Ty Vanessa, well said.
Well said. While mankind depends on nature he wasn’t designed to live in the wilderness. Both an understanding of your limitations and respect for the plants and wildlife are necessary. I have enjoyed my trips into wilderness areas. I try to take enough stuff to be reasonable comfortable. I enjoy your videos.
Love you videos Vanessa keep up the great work
Vanessa, I love watching your channel for your philosophy, techniques and knowledge but I do have to say..you have the biggest most beautiful eyes. Thank you for the vids.
Great attitude! Thanks for bringing up this important subject! P.S. Try to stay a little bit more to the point, it was a little bit long-winded, especially in the beginning in my opinion;) Cheers, Julius
Nice job, keep it up, your message came across just fine!
I agree totally with you that everybody should treat the nature as if they were a guest but I find not very many people are like you.
Will be interesting to see to what your limits be in the future. My favorite book in college was "Living the Good Life" by Helen & Scott Nearing.
Les vidéos présentées sont vraiment bien . Une belle evasion
We Bush craft like the American Indians Did, we are Cherokee blood good video love you carry-on, USA Tennessee Prepper smoky mountains Tennessee,🥰🙏😇🌹🇺🇸👍
Youth groups like boy and girl scouts can be an amazing boost for children with intrests in the outdoors.
The fragility of nature and it's resources are a volatile political issue.
Respecting your habitat wether it's in the city or wilderness is a responsibility for all beings.
Bushcrafting is the ability to make useful items in the wilderness from natural resources.
Wilderness survival is using personal skills to survive in the wilderness.
An outdoorsman is a person that engages in at least 1 of a multitude of outdoor sports recreations or professions.
Bigfoot is a rather large hairy fellow that wanders in the sacred woods burying unsuspecting city dwellers.👀
I just watched this again! I love the most basic kind of camping!!! Smoke in the eyes!! Dirt & ash in the tucker!!! Bugs in the coffee!!! Doesn't get any better than that!!! 😝😜🌹❤️
This issue concerns all people that truly love nature, if we all could live by “leave no trace” that would go a long way. You are looking extra pretty today always look forward to your vids.
Hello Vanessa, excellent message! You summed up the problem in one word “respect”. The best way to impart respect is by example. That is what you do in all your videos. By following your example, we will be able to continue our hobby. Otherwise, more land will become off limits. As always looking forward to your next video. Best regards, be safe out there.
Vanessa, I am not sure of the Status of Scouting in Germany is but I personally learned to leave no trace while camping through my experience in Boy Scouting. The education o working with experienced scouting Leaders and then having the opportunity to practice those skills has made a big difference in my life. I saw the episode you did with the two young girls and thought you would make a great Girl Scout leader. Thank you for all you do and the example you set for others. My pack on the way home generally is somewhat heavier than on the way in because I carry a trash bag and sometimes I end up hauling a lot of other peoples trash out. Best wishes for you in all you do.
Hello Vanessa, I am Irish but I recently moved to the German part of Switzerland and I love to go on nature treks through the forest's in Switzerland so maybe I will see you some day 😊
Hi, this is Doug in Alberta. I find the bushcrafters on TH-cam have great respect for the environment and leave the site as if they hadn't been there. I think the worst offenders are probably the teenagers having 'bush parties' and other drinkers. I love watching your videos bc of your love for nature. Bavaria has so much interesting history, I also like when you explore old abandoned buildings too, you capture the zeitgeist of the era. It sparks the imagination. :)
You're the best. Thank you.
Vanessa, You wear your heart and your spirit on your sleeve...the use and joy of all our environment including our forests ,,is all about "Respect"...So many people today have no idea what that means...to the environment,,to humanity or even to themselves....only time will let us know...at our loss.
Great message!i fully agree!
You could do one of those 3 TH-cam challenge's out for others to echo your message . This could reach allot of people. Good message to follow, thanks.
Danke Vanessa, dass du dieses Video gemacht hast! Es ist ein Thema, das mir wichtig ist. Es tut mir weh, Menschen "in der Natur" zu sehen, aber sie haben "alles" aus ihrem gewohnten Leben mitgebracht! Die Natur ist NICHT der Ort für Bluetooth, MP3-Player usw. Sie können die Natur nicht wirklich erleben, wenn Sie sich auf Smartphones, MP3-Player, Unterhaltungsradios usw. konzentrieren. All diese Dinge sollten zu Hause gelassen werden. Und wenn Sie in die Natur gehen, ist es genauso wichtig, dass es keine Beweise dafür gibt, dass Sie jemals dort waren. Ich würde gerne einen "Overnighter" mit jemandem machen, der ein erfahrener Bushcraft-Mensch ist, aber ich habe Schlafapnoe und muss eine Maschine benutzen, wenn ich schlafe, und diese Art verhindert, dass ich über Nacht bleibe.
Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihr Video und entschuldigen Sie bitte mein "Google German", aber ich hoffe, es ist gut genug, um meinen Standpunkt zu vermitteln.
Like the dano huts i Sweden :)
Like the concept of designated Bushcraft spots
When Nature is not respected; eventually, It returns the needless imbalances inflicted upon It
Good talk Vanessa :)
Most people learn good manners and good rules at home...when you are a child and some at school but sadly these basic teachings are missing a lot. You are exemplary in your respect for nature and many will learn from you. Vanessa be brave a write: Vanessa's Handbook for Safe and Succesfull Buschrafting.... a paper book and yes a pdf download ...share all you have learned it will be a great hit.
Great subject, thank you for making this a topic. I think we have all seen the effects of what too much human presence and pressure does to an area, whether in the wild or in the "civilization". All bushcrafters must be ever conscious of their impact and take every effort to do minimal damage. Unfortunately, there is always an element and small percentage of people with a false sense of entitlement, who feel they are not accountable. It is a sad truth about humanity. Best regards and keep up the good work.
Simple bushcraft should be the besr way to learn in nature. Back to the roots.
A very talked about subject Vanessa, and I totally agree with you. Sadly people do not respect people let alone nature, and adopt an attitude, it all for free and it's all for me to do as I please. How wrong are they and as you say they will always be guest in the outside world because very few have the knowledge not to be. In the UK you see many, packs as big as they can carry, a ton of shop bought food, and not a clue what to do should they lose or have to dump their pack or when the food runs outs, apart from look for a shop. That has little to nothing to do with the depth of nature and most people are about a far away from real nature as they can possibly get, very simply out of ignorance of simple living, where basically we all come from in the past, before even anyone had a knife or much else. Good topic, good video. Arthur (UK)
I agree with everything you said 110% i been in&out of the woods sent’s I was 8years old my parents would get so angry seeing people’s trash&destruction God Bless them there Bushcrafting with Jesus now”I get fighting mad when I see people’s trash&destruction at the lakes&woods&i feel responsible to clean it up&do!! I hope i never catch someone leaving a sight that way I’d probably go to jail😒in USA they make people take a hunting class in order to get there hunting license&we pay for a conservation tag even for fishing
The way things are going I think they should make people take a class allso befor they go camping On does&do nots!! If they don’t have the tag...fine them maybe that would help
Love to ya girl&Gods Blessings 👍🤠
Vanessa I started out in nature many years ago by my parents. I am a baby boomer meaning a child born shortly after end of World War 2. Millions of babies were asked to be born to replace our men and women who died in the great war. This started out camping to just have fun with family. But everyone knows that World War 3 is soon upon us. There is a push to learn how to survive quickly for long periods of time. We not only need to know how to build all types of shelters in wild if not have a tent, where to look for shelter and how to keep warm, where to look for water and clean water for safety, how to search out for the best and most used bushcraft equipment on the market so that we may survive when war comes soon! And Vanessa the biggest thing which I look most in you is how to forage for food, and different seasons certain foods can be found and how to prepare these foods, what elevations these foraged foods can be found, and cook them so that we can build confidence and not quit on life struggles to survive. Finding trees which produce water is a must to drink and also to use as food preparation. Learning from you how to make medicine and which plants are medicinal. Also how to make and prepare these medicines so we do not over dose on them. Vanessa I realize people are over buying stuff like me, but when SHTF I plan to share my stuff with others and to the best of my knowledge I plan to teach survival skills secretly to others. World War 3 is just around the corner and people need to get stuff and learn fast or they will die. These reasons are why I watch you so much! I thank you for teaching us how to forage. Above this I plan to also teach people about the scriptures and how to love one another. Don't give up on us!!! Paul from Oregon.
Again Vanessa lots of wisdom! Yes your absolutely correct! Thanks for your wisdom! LOL DJK wis.
Since I know you I have discover the bushcraft so I fall in love for you! ha ha
Man is above the animal. That's why we should know better. God made us stewards over the earth and animals. But we are not doing to good at it. And I agree bushcraft is getting to high tech and all about entertainment. , But it needs to be more about the old ways. And teaching others about the old way and how to Realy survive. But I still enjoy the Bushcrafting videos too. It great fun. Great video My Bavarian freind❤❤❤
❤❤❤🇺🇸
