Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
The wisdom of your experiences makes perfect sense. Keep your videos coming.
Lonnie-Always good to hear from you and Connie. You should do the occasional short video just to let your friends know you're okay. Doesn't matter what the topic is. We just love hearing from you. Stay safe!
Yes I Agree 100%
The quality of your comments speaks volumes, brother. I've never seen so many full complete sentences without shorthand or emojis. I enjoy all your content, while most others I run at 2x speed.
Sir I could listen to you speak all day and night
You give _the_ most thoughtful, honest, and common sense reviews of anyone on youtube, Lonnie.
Thank you, Lonnie. I live in northern lower Michigan, surrounded by Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Charlevoix. What we get is 1) lake effect snow, and 2) a lot of wind. For us, I think the second skin is a must as well as a foam floor and larger stove. We cannot escape wind where I live, particularly in winter. I love you and Connie's channel and truly appreciate your time, expertise, and Connie's recipes. God bless you both. Stay safe and warm.
👍👍. Another tip to keeping it warm is to have Connie cook up some of awesome dinners. Peace
I bought that same tent Lonnie except in green. It showed up today so excellent timing on this video. I don't know that I will set mine up till spring but you've given me a lot to think about. I did flesh and stretch / dry my caribou hide this fall and am thinking it will make a nice rug for the floor of my tent. Its amazing how light a caribou skin is when dried. The caribou herders in northern Russia make there tent, floors and bedding out of the reindeer skins and they live in extreme climates as you know. Enjoyed this a lot and learned a lot as well. Good to see you making video again.
I think you are going to really enjoy that tent. I know I sure like mine. I once had a moose hide that I dried and used. That thing was bulky, awkward and heavy. Your caribou hide sounds much better.
I like your caribou hide idea. On one of our future caribou hunts, I too need to save one of my hides for a tent floor rug.
Buffalo hide for a floor where the bedding goies cheyenne and Lakota.
Used. Buffalo .floor rugs .
Wow a caribou hide would be so luxurious!!
You take care , Lonnie, as well, just take care❤
Your knowledge and experience of living this life style really shows Lonnie,a unch of riant tips are always welcome, especially if it makes u more comfortable. U and Connie have a great holidays
Thank you and may you and your loved ones have a blessed Christmas as well.
Wonderful tips Lonnie! I’m going to be trying these. Thanks so much!!
I wish this guy was my dad or grandpa 🍻
We absolutely love your videos. Your real people. Common! Every day couple that have been together for a long time.
Your skills of the outdoors is extensive. Many other TH-camrs look to you as inspiration. Awesome
thank you for the tips Lonnie, tell Connie hello....good health to you both!
We live in an totally different environment, but I enjoy all of their videos!
Hi !
Well you missed the BIG TIP!!
On my big huge CanvasCamp Sibley ProTech tent, which is 210 sq feet by the way or 16 feet around …..
When I first installed my stove, I installed the stove jack off to one side of the tent like yours is in the video.
Yep, it's nice that its out of the way, but pull out a measuring tape and have a look - you only have about
2 and half feet of stove pipe in the tent before it goes outside. NO !!
Take that same stove you have and run it right up the MIDDLE of that Hex Plus tent and go right beside that centre pole.
Pop the top of the stove pipe out the side of that top cap you closed up with the strap and you’ll NOW have more like 9
or 10 feet of stove pipe in the tent!!
Do you do know how much more heat that will radiate off the stove pipe and in to the tent !? Trust me, the more stove
pipe you have in the tent - the warmer and more efficant the wood stove is! Abandon that side stove jack and close it
up and run it right out the top!
I’ve ran mine ( Camp Chef CS-14 ) at -38 C in my tent and its been great! And yep the vents are a PIA but the stove does
need a lot of combustion air to run properly - make sure it can get it.
Thanks Lonnie, I love watching your addictive videos after a long day at work, relaxing sipping a beer. You and the good wife are a amazing fun and so interesting.
Lota Of Great Times Going To Be Spent There, Lonnie Thanks Hi Connie ! ATB T God Bless
Having a sealed pipe to bring fresh air to the stove from outside would be the best. I did it in my house to bring air to my pellet stove so that I was able to seal windows and doors without suffucate the stove (and myself). Maybe it will come with the next generation of hot tents :)
I was thinking the same thing... great idea.
I do not recommend piping outside air directly to tent stoves. tent stoves should use their air from the tent interior so that the slight negative pressure thus created will "suck" in fresh outside air to replace it. Too many things can happen which may leave smoke inside the tent and thus Carbon Monoxide (CO). Without the stove automatically refreshing the interior air, there is a greater chance of CO buildup and thus a potentially deadly situation may be allowed to develop. It is a bit different situation in a house since the house is not likely to move around and the stove is likely to not shift or fall down as snow melts under the legs etc. A house stove is typically much larger and heavier and thus is not as likely to get bumped and knock the stove pipe loose.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival you're right, the house pellet stoves are hermetically sealed and specifically designed for use with external air supply. I forgot to say that I use a CO sensor alarm for extra safety. They are battery operated and weight only few ounces so they can be used in any place.
Glad to see you brother. It's always a good day when you guys put up a video.
Always appreciate your videos Lonnie (and Connie)... I put some tabs around the inside of my teepee and attach a canvas painters cloth as a second skin on the interior. It's breathable, adds an air gap, and this worked out well... Appropriate spacing from any heat sources of course. Because I'm in a high wind area, the interior liner helps me avoid having to secure it from the exterior winds, and it seems to help with interior condensate.
Missed you both!!
Lonnie, you are everyones grandad.
I envy your cold weather. It's great to hear you using used materials like the foam matting to keep costs down. Too many videos encourage you to spend lots of cash. Thanks for your time 👍
It's now July 2, 2023, at one point not too long ago I ask how you was doing and you said you where laying off of doing videos, I just wanted to check up on you and say "hi" and wish you all well! 😁🤗
(That's what happens when you get OLD! Ask me how I know)
PS: tell your good looking granddaughter I HI!😉
Yes we are still doing great. I hope the same for you and your loved ones.
Great tips Lonnie! Great to see you again

Thank you for another helpful and informative video. You always present common sense and practical ideas.
Great, thanks, and you and yours be safe.
You have given a lot if great information to help improve the temperature rating. Thank you.
Good to hear from you brother. You do a good job fixing problems that arise that actually work.
Lonnie , great to visit again , thanks for sharing your tips and tricks , God bless !
God bless you Lonnie and Connie 🙏
In modest sized pieces one can find Carbon Fiber Soldering Shields & Blankets. These wrapped around the pipe as needed and secured with a bit of soft iron wire (reusable) can essentially eliminate risks of heat sensitive things from incidentally getting too hot.
Glad I stayed up and got to catch your video. We don’t have your extreme cold but I’ve always hung a tarp over the tent and dropped the edges down at night. Makes an extra wind block and creates a dead air space. I do like those little stoves but the prices make me cringe. Glad you’re doing well. Have a blessed evening
Thanks.
Great tips Lonnie, thanks for sharing! 🤙
Good to see ya my friend
It's always wonderful to see yourself and Connie while gaining valuable knowledge of wilderness survival. It was very nice of you to take the time to show how to correctly modify and improve aspects of this particular tent for improved performance in harsh winter conditions. Thank you guys!👍
Thank you for another great lesson! I hope you and Connie have an awesome weekend!
YAHOO another video thanks your great
Hi - always nice to see you, Lonnie 😊
That is one nice stove. Must be mesmerizing in the outdoors just to sit and look at it. I'm from Pennsylvania but negative 5? Whoo no thank you!
Thanks for all the great tips and tricks! God bless you two!!
Very nice video
Good show
I really appreciate the point about the tree bows. Too many of us out there to be using natural materials these days. I spend my time on public lands around Ontario and Quebec, campsites are getting worse each year
Awesome post as always. Thank you for your wisdom and guidance! Getting cold here as well. Lots of love and blessings from Ontario Canada.
Great video!
I really enjoy the details you give in your videos about the method you are applying and other options that may work as well. Going back a number of years ago I learned from you about glues and tarps and why it doesn't work and also...how it can be just as good with tape!
That video saved me a bunch of mistakes and gave me the plan to build what I was trying to build.
It was fun and it works great still!
Thank you.
...good one, great tips,,, stay safe and warm and have a good week....
nice video
Thanks Lonnie! Always look forward to your videos! Between you and Connie's creativity, I never walk away from an episode of yours empty handed! Great tools for thought, always. Thanks again my friend. Looking forward to the next. Cheers
Hi, as always very educational and entertaining. Enjoyed watching. Thanks for showing.
I live in Alabama & I still watch these videos. It hasn't snowed here almost 5 yrs.
I like how you explain tbe science behind your modifications. Thanks for the video.
I lived in a tent my first year in Alaska. I lived in a canvas tent called a pyramid tepee patterned off of the range tent. I made my own wood stove out of a 5 gal kerosene can and that stoved heated that tent really well even at -40 F. I used a tarp on the floor with the heavy packing blankets and that worked out pretty well. You can also use a heat fan on your stove to circulate the hot air more rather than just having the hot air rise. You could also use the packing blankets on the walls rigged up like tepee liners. Love winter camping and did it a lot in Alaska.
I assume you talking about those peltier fans?
I like your packing blankets floor insulation idea. Where does one get packing blankets? I also like pyramid/range/miner tents. I made one out of poly tarps and it is my favorite of all the homemade tents that i have made. It has a lot more interior room than a round tipi with the same foot print size. A 10 X 10 pyramid tent will have a lot more room inside than a 10x10 round tipi.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Harbor Freight has them for cheap , at the time I got mine at U-Haul.
@@kebertxela941 yes the ones that the heat generates the electricity to run the fan.
Thanks. I checked U-Haul online and they are fairly reasonably priced.
Love it! Man really living the lifestyle
Great take on the Hot Tent. Thank you so much for what you do 👌🤠👍
Another great video! You're so knowledgeable about this stuff! :)
A pleasure to see you again with so interesting tips. Greetings from Spain my friends.
Mr Baba Ross -- love these videos !
Mr. Lonnie and Ms. Connie you have once again saved me a lot of money and time. I was just before buying a plane ticket to Alaska and rounding up a search party to check on you two. Anyway love your videos, lets see some more of Ms. Connie's cooking. It is for some reason satisfying to watch you guys camp and see what Ms. Connie is whipping up for breakfast.
Thank you, you have been missed. Glad to see you again. Warm wishes a prayers for you and yours this season.
Thank you and wishing a blessed Christmas for you and yours as well.
Hello my friend. I don't do much camping at all, especially in snow, in Louisiana the snow is stretched out about every 10 years. This is a great informative video, not much good for me but I enjoy seeing great people make good videos. Thanks my friend and many prayers for you and your family.
