    Regarding foam mattress suggest using a carry bag that can double for air pump. Inflation by breathing puts moisture inside, reducing insulation. You can also dry it out of previous moisture at home by using pump to inflate and deflate with dry indoor air.

    I very much enjoy your videos. You are definitely comfortable in the environment and have the necessary skills and confidence. I’m ex-military and 63 in a few months, and although you would think I’d have had enough of this lifestyle while in the service that is not the case. With a number of both large and small lakes full of trout and salmon a short drive from home I still get out under a tarp shelter, or with just a bivvi bag, as I have done for most of my life. It is extremely satisfying !!!!!!!

    • @BrooksandBirches
      @BrooksandBirches  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That's awesome! I have a couple subscribers who are ex-military and they tell me they had enough camping when they were in the service (for good reason given the stories) so to hear you're still out there and getting after it is awesome. I feel it for a couple of days after a night in the woods and I'm only in my 20's lol so I just pray I'm still doing this stuff when I get to your age! All the best, and thank you for your service sir!

    I've used this setup in the woods during my Army days with my poncho. Of course I wasn't allowed to have a fire, so I set it to only about 2 ft high at the opening. It works well for keeping you dry and warm as long as the opening faces away from the wind.

Now in our twilight years, but still young at heart and with you all the way. Been in the cold and wet but not as cold as you. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on answering so many comments.

Camping down here is very challenging, the heat, the bugs and it can be very wet/rainy. I do enjoy the fishing but im not a big beach guy so I'd rather be out in the wilderness if I had my choice.

    Seems forever since I spent more than one or two nights outside.
    It was 7 years ago my nephew and I were in the Pioneer Mountains of Montana, in October. Nine days catching our breakfast in the stream every morning...
    This video has brought back great memories for me.

    Suggestion: With the conditions coming in perhaps it would have been better once you got your shelter up and your gear out of the weather to get fire wood before everything gets wetter. You can fix bedding when the snow is falling so fast that you can't find anything and you're out of the snow.
