  • Join me as I return to the bushcraft tarp camp after nearly 9 months of being away. After a quick camp clean-up, I enjoy a spring overnight campout in the backcountry of Canada. This was a great outing that I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm very pleased with this camp and I have plans to develop it further. Stay tuned!
    For those interested in watching me build this camp, check out the series here:

    Thank you to everyone who watches! God bless and happy trails!

    Nice to see a young man enjoying the outdoors and his pipe. We old-timers remember the days.

    Looks to me like that Aspen tree fell in the right place... right in the fire pit. I have fibromyalgia, and one of the side effects of it is depression... I always feel better when I watch your videos. A sense of peace and calm always pervade the low times, and I'm always left inspired to get my old carcass outside where I belong. So thanks for continuing to crank out the good times. I'd love to share a camp with you sometime, if only Alberta and Alaska weren't so far apart... Peace to you my friend, it's always good to see you. ~Tim

    Another great campout. I had my name on that second breakfast sandwich, but you must've ate it. I enjoy this channel because you are a young man that actually handles his tools with skill. A lot gets done, without too much struggle. That is woodsmanship at its finest!

    Nice to see how well the tarp camp survived the winter, you were lucky with how that tree fell. To bad it was an Aspen, between the rot and from what I remember aspen firewood is not very good. Totally agree about wieners cooked over a campfire on a stick being the best. If you try to duplicate that cooking method at home, remember to turn on the exhaust fan over the stove, open some windows, and most important. Take down the smoke alarm and pull the battery!🤣

    I really look forward to your videos. You've inspired me to order a Helko Rheinland hatchet and a Mora 120 carving knife so I can have my own adventures in the National Forest a km from my house. I've found a disused trail that isn't being maintained anymore and gets zero foot traffic. I'm sure I can find a spot there to get started. You're my favourite bushcrafting channel, love the minimalism.

    I have a question to help resolve my ignorance ... with you being in grizzly territory, I always hear one should cook and eat their food a significant distance from where they sleep. I wonder if that is true?
    You don't seem to share that concern, and I assume you have never had a problem preparing and eating meals in front of your shelter. Your approach resonates better with me.
    What are your thoughts about not eating in camp in grizzly countryversus eating in camp?
    Thank you!
