I Tried Solo Bushcraft Camping for the First Time EVER

  • I thought it would be fun to go out into the wilderness and try my hand at survival techniques that I have always wanted to try: Setting up a primitive shelter, starting a fire with a ferrous rod, and surviving a cold night. Of course, when I went out to do this, it had to rain the whole time!

    So proud of you!❤
    The burnt wood you found would take fire easier.
    Next time

    Ahh, the joys of bush crafting. This is a really good start! You have already learned a lot from this one trip!
    My first bushcraft adventure was in 1963 when I was 8. I had read the book "A Light in the Forest" which was about a boy raised by Indians, and I wanted to do the camping parts. I used 2 upside down lawn chairs in my backyard for my camp, and foraged firewood from my Dad's scrap bucket, and I had to get my mom to light the fire, but I was hooked.
    BTW, books have been written about wilderness fire construction techniques, so you did fine.
    Pro tip; dead limps on the tree trunks are typically dryer than any limbs on the ground.

      I live in the woods beside a wild river. It gets pitch black like that every night. Lucky for me I have a nice warm dry and most importantly SAFE house to go into!😂
      It was so brave to do that in just a tarp shelter open to the elements…especially after seeing the bear scat!

    Just got into survival and bushcraft in the past year and still learning. For your first outing you did great. Way better then I did. Need to learn 3 knots bowline, half hitch and trucker's hitch all you need at first. And makeyourself a ridge line. You got this.

    This is my first time EVER watching one of your videos and I can honestly say, it's been like watching a comedy show, especially when you were pitching your tarp and trying to make the fire...Not trying to make fun of you, but it was so funny! I admire the fact that you're giving it a go and I know in time, things will get easier for you. Well done!... I have subscribed to your channel as of today.

      @@TopoTravelers Get the ubiquitous Bahco Laplander, it's forgiving and durable, and inexpensive! And a saw is way safer than larger chopping tools. If you're going for an axe/hatchet/machete or something, practice at home in case you chop off a body part.
