Don, you are an absolute joy to hang out with after a busy and stressful day. I can well appreciate the energy and work you put into your videos. But when they're finished they are wonderfully relaxing to watch. Keep on making videos please.
Soren, you have TOTALLY outdone yourself using all the skills necessary and with the minimalist being a Hatchet, Knife, Saw, an Auger and the excellent cinematography but especially your INGENUITY to say the least my friend! *VERY WELL DONE* ... 😎👍👍 (From beautiful British Columbia, Canada) ca
came home today after two nights solo camping to find this video was a treat. it was so worth the wait! i was getting impatient lol. i hope the building inspector doesn’t give you a hard time like you got on your other awesome shelter! you and bertram are the undisputed kings of bushcraft in my world. ❤
Thank you so much. The amount of time and effort to build the wickiup is formidable. The time and patience to edit and produce the video is equally impressive. The final product is awesome! Thanks again from Texas, USA 🙏🏽✌🏽👍🏽
I've some very impressive bushcraft home videos on here, but Don, you definitely rank up there as A-#1 on the list. If I had the property, I would love to build something like this. No power tools! Your hands, an axe, saw and hunting knife are all you need. I love the door hinge design. Fantastic video, fantastic meal and i especially love the "piece de resistance" of enjoying a few swigs from the flask in front of the campfire after a nice, hearty meal. 👍👍👍👍😉😉😊😃👍👍👍👍
Soren👍👍 Still one of the best with an axe, hatchet or knife I've seen, Bertram is pretty darn good too. Musen loves that water, chicken too😋 Great video and camera work, thanks for the effort. That Wikiup should last, a lot of work went in to it. Shame some people destroy creation. Hope to see you again soon, stay safe.
I have been waiting for a video from him. It was well worth the wait. I love his vids, and watching him create is a joy! First Nation and Native American peoples used animal sinew in many ways, especially as cordage. It could be used in a way that when it dried it stayed firmly in place. Or it was worked into soft pieces and used to make clothing and various other items. They hunted animals to eat and used almost all parts of the animal in their daily lives. Of course, they also used plant material like the gentleman in this video. I find it fascinating the desire of modern people wanting to return to more primitive methods. I believe it is, in part, a desire to be more in touch with the Earth and the natural world. I, too, have those same desires and find myself studying birds, insects, plants, and small creatures I encounter in my urban life.
Thank you Katherine :) I love thinking about solving a problem, and then find the solution. At the same time I am in the nature, which makes it worth much more. :)
Just in time for the first Don Von Gun Jr.Bushcraft Club trip of the year! The kids aren't being allowed to take tents this year, so we'll see what sort of shelters they come up with. Musen looks good. Cayden wants me to make sure and tell you 18 kids in the club last year, 26 this year. Beautiful video as usual! Good to see you this morning.
:D haha!! nice to hear my brand is growing some where. Must be because of Cayden's crazy aunt. ;) Nice to hear those young ones have some healthy interests. Thanks Antigone :)
I really appreciate the patience and attention to detail. As you were carving with the knife I got a little nervous about your hand being too close and you moved it back immediately. Your craft is inspiring.
Another amazing and inspiring piece of Bushcraft. Always a pleasure and a joy to see your videos, lots of hard work gone into this one I can tell and it is very much appreciated. Well done sir 👏
Thanks for watching, thanks for taking us with you you mean. What you do is unbelievable. Enjoyed every minute. Took a while since your last post, but then we’re getting something. Was worth waiting for😬😎🤪. Up to the next💪
i feel like the door hinging upward instead of sideways would have been easier on the hinge and maybe even more convenient afterwards acting as a visor/overhang to prevent precipitation getting through doorway
If I had it on top, I would have to walk bent over to get in and out. I would also have to make some kind of stopper for the door not to fall down, and it would most likely be in the way. It doesn't matter if it is wet where I get in. Like in most tipis, from the entrance to the fireplace is where you walk. On the sides and back, is where you sit. The opening on top of tipis is also between entrance and fireplace. I made it to help keep the wickiup warm.
Nice knife (Leuku) you have there. Those knives are real tools. I personally have two of those. One is from Marttiini factory made, and the other is hand made in Finnish lapland from Riipi knives.
a lot of forest trees and branches to cut down haven't finished watching the movie but I think moss and mud are needed But you're building an Indian hut so maybe it's better with branches and then moss Thank you for showing me the movie and Thank you for had to watch😅❤
a lot of forest trees and branches to cut down haven't finished watching the film but I think moss and clay are needed But you're building an Indian hut so maybe it's better with branches and then moss it might be difficult to get hold of clay right where you is. Thanks for showing me the movie and thanks for letting me watch Good luck, Good job❤😊
Very interesting and impressive. What dog breed is that? Do you find that coat gets muddy and wet, and finding ticks is challenging? I mention it because I'm looking for a good 'wild camping' dog... Some of those I like have coats that, in theory, would be less practical than, say, a Lab or Elkhound. Thank you for an engrossing film. 😊
She is a labradoodle, half lab half poodle. She has inner and outer coat. She gets dry pretty fast. She is 90 % allergy free. A lab would also be nice. But an Elkhound would have it to hot here, specially in the summer time. But a very nice dog. ...thanks :)
What was the life expectancy of this type of shelter? Was it to winter until migratory season to follow game or was it a year around home? A village of these or just a hunting party encampment? I guess I could read a book.....LOL Yeah, you have made me want to do just that! BEST shelter build I've seen yet. Authentic. "DO as the animals do". Great nesting skills.
Jo, "The Revenant" - Don von Gun - the Nothern Bushcrafter with a passion for "osso buco" - is in the CLUB.... hands up, hands up, pu-pu-put your hand up: I'm very Happy and for me is LIKE IN ANY CASE.
for the italians: the stuff about "osso buco" wasn't an "homofobic joke".... he realy made an osso-buco in the forest, with a pressure cooker on a camp fire, in another video
Don, you are an absolute joy to hang out with after a busy and stressful day. I can well appreciate the energy and work you put into your videos. But when they're finished they are wonderfully relaxing to watch. Keep on making videos please.
Thanks David. Much appreciated. :)
Puppy in the bog was too cute. She is beautiful!
She is :)
Really very good, without wire, tape, and other things that don't exist in nature! Thumbs up!
Thank you :)
Mr. Soren. What a joy watch Your video again! Bravo !

I'm Canadian, I to, can live off the land. But I must say, you taught me a few tricks. Thanks for the lesson. Great Work!
Thank you :)
Over one hour of pure enjoyment.. fantastic project. Cheers.
Thank you :)

Hi Don Thanks for the awesome video. Musen looks great. She looks like she was doing a great job supervising. You are so talented.
Thanks :) She is a bit bored when I am building, but must be better than sleeping at home.
Nice to see you again !
Endlich einmal ein Video ohne das übliche, viel zu ausführliche "Kochstudio" ! Sehr schön anzusehen !
Vielen dank :)
На вашу работу можно смотреть бесконечно. Спасибо большое за возможность посмотреть на мастерство. У вас золотые руки и удивительное упорство

9:33 your skills are very good . I'm also building survival shelters and I've learned a lot of good things from you.
Thanks. Hope you have a good build :)
a lot of forest trees and branches to cut down haven't finished watching the movie but I think moss and mud are needed But you're building an Indian hut so maybe it's better with branches and then moss Thank you for showing me the movie and Thank you for had to watch😅❤
Hello! Great video❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you :)
Bushcraft at its finest! What axe is that you are using? Thanks for featuring our upcoming hanging titanium cookware!
Thanks guys. It's a trading axe I was sent from one of my subscribers. :)
Excelente,, muito conhecimento,, uma verdadeira aula . Três nomes que adimiro na arte do mato, NAGALEIRO, BERTRAN E DonVonGun.
a lot of forest trees and branches to cut down haven't finished watching the film but I think moss and clay are needed But you're building an Indian hut so maybe it's better with branches and then moss it might be difficult to get hold of clay right where you is. Thanks for showing me the movie and thanks for letting me watch Good luck, Good job❤😊
You're very talented and this shelter deserves a 9.5/10. Why not 10/10? Because it's you and not me who did it :P LOL
Thanks :)
Very interesting and impressive.
What dog breed is that?
Do you find that coat gets muddy and wet, and finding ticks is challenging?
I mention it because I'm looking for a good 'wild camping' dog...
Some of those I like have coats that, in theory, would be less practical than, say, a Lab or Elkhound.
Thank you for an engrossing film. 😊
She is a labradoodle, half lab half poodle. She has inner and outer coat. She gets dry pretty fast. She is 90 % allergy free. A lab would also be nice. But an Elkhound would have it to hot here, specially in the summer time. But a very nice dog. ...thanks :)
Well done. Just liked , shared, subd.
Thank you :)
8:54 Is that even big enough for you to lay down in? How can you get comfortable? Looks cool, though.
awsome!
very nice
Thanks :)

I just wanted to build a wiki up. The door and and backpack came to me while building. :)

I really liked the video! Very useful ! What brand is your knife, does it seem very versatile? Good luck!
