The humility to be able to laugh at yourself for falling off a chair when you’re a world class instructor. This is a great video and stay humble my friend.
Marine Vet here. filmed a similar project last year at Pictured Rocks in Michigan. Solo camping especially in the backcountry really does wonders for the mental health and soul. Check it out if you're interested. It's on my channel.
Yes. More of these! More preparedness stuff is what we need. As a former 25U I'm biased but people need to learn how to operate radios again and have a plan.
Mike I am saying special prayers for you Sir! I recognize the distant look you gave as you scanned the area, that feeling will give way to appreciation for the beauty of Mother Earth and not her dangers. Great video Young man, I raised my kids camping four seasons and my youngest son was the only one to join on cold camping nights. Two weeks ago when the cold brought high winds and snows to Iowa I strapped on my snowshoes and headed into the woods north of the farm. I still am a believer in wool and even though i didn't hike long putting on a dry pair of wool socks before bed made it so much more enjoyable. Inside my tarp shelter I set up my Big Agnes Elk Park and Buffalo Park sleeping system to inflate and fill long before I bedded down. The extra insulation was nice and my last walk into the cold still got my blood warmed and flowing. In the morning over my stove steam rose from my hot chocolate and the bowl of oatmeal as I sat watching the sun rise. I tell you this not to impress you because long before our fathers were born men and woman survived the elements with far less then we have now. The serenity of a night out in nature cannot be topped. Whether short views in Montana mountains and long sweeping valleys or of snow blowing hard over the top of a tarp over head, being in the cold world has so many gifts that must be enjoyed in person. The same ramen I used to extend my C-rations and MREs are still used today as filler with no other benefit to the body. Simple foods sustain a body far more than any fancy meal with garnish, that's a fact. Thank You for sharing the journey. With Love and Respect, You are in my prayers Hoka Hey
Please make more of these! There are many bushcraft (mostly European) AMSR backcountry channels. I love to just let them play for hours. It is great to see one with gear and skills easily accessible to me. I like to get into the woods as a break so that I don't have to talk (I talk all day in my job). This video made me feel like I was right there. Thank You!!
Would recommend a folding saw Mike for cutting up wood in camp, much easier to work with than a hatchet. You can cut up fallen dead wood really quickly with one.
And I guess it's also much safer. I ditched my hatchet in favour of a saw a long time ago when I started to do solo multi-day hikes. On the other hand - this MKC piece looks so good.
Well he has to advertise for Montana knife company. This entire video is an advertisement for his sponsors and the gear he sells. Good on Mike just saying.
It gives me great joy to see humans that have given so much enjoy life to its fullest and purse their passions! Blessings upon you and your tribe. Great video. Press On!
I’ve been subscribed to this channel for years now and I truly enjoyed and appreciate this video!!! Beautiful scenery. This also a great way to show support to the companies you love.
Mike I'm so glad I'm not the only one that laughs at themselves when alone. I do this all the time. Awesome video I love it. Please make more like this. I'm am outdoorsy guy.
I remember one episode of Alone when a contestant was walking with an uncovered axe, hauling back a tree. He tripped, fell, and gave himself a nasty wound that almost made him have to tap out. Seeing Mike walk back from cutting down a tree in that snow, with several unsteady steps, made me nervous! Cover your axe when not in use, everyone! AWESOME VIDEO and much respect to MIKE and his organization!!!
This video, Mike… Chef’s kiss👨🏻🍳💋 Glad to see you getting out and doing things you love. You and your cinematography team have outdone yourselves with this one!
Thanks, Mike. I've never really camped without power and definitely not solo. It's been nagging at me. This video has given me the confidence boost I needed to get out and do it.
So relaxing, great video. Love the quiet. Reminds me of my youth, did a lot of solo winter camping because no one else would bear the cold. Did this one trip -20° F for 4 days. One of the best solo trips I ever had. Second black powder deer season in northern Vermont. I hauled a plastic toboggin instead of carrying a backpack. Gears a lot better now. Spoiler, no deer.
That was really neat and super relaxing to watch! I don't know how you stayed warm to sleep? I also loved hearing you laugh when you were slipping! I love sliding on the ice! I ha enever camped in the snow. I am intrigued 😊
As someone who has finally gotten into camping/bushcraft after years of saying I'm going to do it, I love seeing this worked into the channel. Maybe some of these other guys can confirm/correct, but wouldn't you want a 4th season tent out there in Utah right now?
Awesome to see you out and doing things like this. I thought this was going to be Estella out here doing his thing. LOL. Would have watched that too though. Peace.
This was awesome! I loved you laughing when you slipped on the snow and that look when the chair went dow..that's livin! You're a bigger man than me, the chair wouldn't have gotten a second chance!😂😂made me realize I've never really been camping😂 This reminds me of a program we had in Ohio called outdoor education. We went to a large outdoor facility and they taught how to build a fire,cook on an open fire,team work, read the sun dial,what species lived in our area Man,this should be a requirement. I might actually attempt some cuttings! Love the content and all you good guy's that keep giving to this undeserving person and people..truly appreciate you Much love and prayers
Thanks Mike. Now I'm trying to sort out this ASMR for the algorithm. Long critique follows... I was encouraged by the measured pace to camp, actual good practice to avoid saturation of layers, though a base/mid layer and shell works very well when moving at tempo. When postholing levels are present, snowshoes ftw, and they make stomping a tent platform efficient. Using those grayl filters will shatter the ceramic elements in freezing temps rendering inop. (no go). The little hatchet is purty, but curious why you didn't split/baton larger branches to create a warm fire and relied on twigs. I'm not sold on the stash stove, however I really get good use out of my minimo. Nongshim kimchi bowl ftw! (I'm half Korean too) My best practice after pitching camp is to put on dry socks and warm hat to bank the calories and core temp recovery. Warming rocks and putting them in the damp socks to begin drying and at bedtime refresh the stones and place in boots to dry them overnight, and hold the shape for when they inevitably freeze makes them easier to put on in the AM. I love my Z-rest and T-rest lounger chair pocket for snow camping. A 3 season tent in winter side country, while having gobs of ventilation to keep condensation at bay also bleeds off all the heat your body is heating the interior with. I'm an old poor cold war USAF 1 hitch guy; and attended your early AMCon event in Goldendale back when PDX was burning. Really would be nice to have the resources to attend FC courses, but funds are restricted and a CABG 2x limits a lot. Curious, are the Oregon politics that keeps courses out of the PNW? Thanks once again for the tireless work you're putting in, lots of valuable content for consumers.
I found this really relaxing and calming. TY MG. Nice shots and well done - on par with Les Stroud's solo camera work. ...Evan Hafer watching this 'Damn it, there was an opportunity for some cross-brand marketing!' :).
Love when camping channels show the realness , little slips . falls or when then sit in their hammock and eat dirt . & manee you knew that little ass chair wasnt gonna support your frame lmao . great video tho thanks ! ( checking back in after you made that lil ass chair work lol )
The kind of videos we need.
Time to bust out that woobie!
💯
Finally, a great top comment!
The humility to be able to laugh at yourself for falling off a chair when you’re a world class instructor. This is a great video and stay humble my friend.
No words, no music- just actions we can see. If folks can’t figure it out, they never will.
You mean 55 second loud obnoxious intros for a 1.5 min video is bad? lol
Glad you can get out again. I wish more vets would get out and do this it is great for the soul

Hoka Hey
Dam nice story - I need to get back outside. Did my new years cold plunge in the freezing river and haven’t been in the outdoors in a month.
how in the hell does this only have 56k views ? the content, creativity and videography /editing is amazing. something doesn’t seem right Mike.
Gosh, I loved that you kept this quiet. Beautiful country. ❤
more videos like this Mike.. survival, overlanding, bush craft...all of it.
Dude it is awesome to see you take time out and just enjoy life. Feels great to do this from time to time right. Great video.

A silky saw for sure even though that Montana Knife Company mini ax looks good.
Yeah, thinking the same. Bahco, Silky, or an X7 at least.
And I guess it's also much safer. I ditched my hatchet in favour of a saw a long time ago when I started to do solo multi-day hikes. On the other hand - this MKC piece looks so good.

Mike Truly enjoying himself, great to see. Thank you.
Thanks, Mike! I'm reminded that there's always two adaptations to keep in mind -- one outside and the other inside.
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and this was probably my favorite one. Simple and nice to watch. Thanks for all the content!
Footsteps on snow, one of the best sounds... Awesome scenery 👌
Great video. The cinematography and sound made me feel like I was there enjoying the beauty nature has to offer.
I was so captivated by this, and it was very relaxing. Can't wait to go camping again. Thank you for sharing.
Videos like this are the best way to clear your mind of all the bs! It's like meditation. Well done Mike. More please 😁
The sound of a creek is so relaxing
Very wholesome, a trip like this can do wonders. Also fun seeing you flex your kit.
Mike I'm so glad I'm not the only one that laughs at themselves when alone. I do this all the time. Awesome video I love it. Please make more like this. I'm am outdoorsy guy.

I can feel my soul healing as I watch this. 💆♂️🪷

Nailed it...Solid, looking forward to more of these
Suits you well. Nothing better than just because. Gloves! Glover. You made fun and funny to watch. Silent even better.
Great video, Mike. These are the kinds of videos I would love to see more of!
The test sitting on round two of the folding chair was funny. Thanks for making this Mike!
Always alert. Thats whats up
Awesome vid Mike. Thanks for sharing. Love this style of content.

Amen.
I’d give some credit to the camping community. For me Dave Canterbury got me into this outdoor lifestyle.
@@MLKreame the no word bushcraft videos for sure.
Instant noodles in the woods always a good move 🍜 😂
Most definitely 😄
Was not expecting the way that this played out, haha. Great video, with a few comedic incidents 😂 Quite refreshing. Keep em coming, Mike 👍🏻
Yes! Mike is apart of the AeroPress crew! ☕️
Please more! These vids are awesome
Loved it. Thank you for doing this Mike.

Need more like this. Thanks Mike.
Cool video, quite a few useful tricks are shown here. Thanks.
Love these types of videos! Hope you put out more content like this.
I see Mike Glover, I click like. Simple.

Looks peaceful. I especially enjoyed the Bic lighter part😊.
Absolutely loved this. Thank you.
This motivates me to get back out there and do some back woods camping.
Thank you, Mike...loved it!!!
All for this kinda content! Hell yeah! 🫡🤘🏼
Awesome video Mike! I really enjoyed!
É um homem tão simples... é singular..
Great video SGM!
Accurate and simplified as can be.
this was lovely to watch. a shin cup is my backpacking breakfast as well :)
Excellent video in every aspect, 10/10 no doubt.

so peaceful
We need more of these videos
Loved this video and your book choice! Thank you sir
Outstanding!
More of this please!
A pouch of pine tinder/kindling is the most underrated survival amenity.
I found this really relaxing and calming. TY MG. Nice shots and well done - on par with Les Stroud's solo camera work. ...Evan Hafer watching this 'Damn it, there was an opportunity for some cross-brand marketing!' :).
Great video guys
Love when camping channels show the realness , little slips . falls or when then sit in their hammock and eat dirt . & manee you knew that little ass chair wasnt gonna support your frame lmao . great video tho thanks ! ( checking back in after you made that lil ass chair work lol )
How did natives survive without those water filters 4:11 ?
Maybe their immune systems just got used to it is my guess
