- On this trip I encountered a Bear, as I was sitting by the campfire. It came up growling at me, which I found very odd because fire is supposed to scare them off.
The next day as I was walking, I saw that particular bear that you saw in the video and I wanted to protect the bear from humans by making it scared of us, so I actually ended up yelling at it and it turns out that there was a whole family that began to run off. Maybe that explains why the bear last night was so persistent, perhaps it was hungry and needed to feed it's young before their long rest.
I’m not sure if it was one of them was the one from the previous night, but that’s a little too close for comfort. 
For the Bed Roll, I ended up bringing the reindeer and sheepskin skins inside the bedroll and turning my blanket into a diamond and rolled up in it like a burrito since it got so cold at night after my fire went out. and then I re-lit the fire, which kept me nice and toasty.  That's why I procured those thick logs, so I wouldn’t have to change them often throughout the night.
I meant to show what the Bedroll looks like with me inside of it, but it was too dark at night and too dark in the morning for me to get a good clip without the assistance of artificial light. But on my next adventure, I’ll be certain to display it.
The stew I make at the end is Kidney beans stew. I didn’t realise it might be hard to figure out what it was since I edited it out for the most part where it says beans on top of the tin.
Thank you all for coming along. I look forward to you joining me in the next adventure. Cheers

Hey, thanks for make new videos. Thrust me, you is one of the best bushmans on TH-cam, so believe in yourself and keep doing. Stay safe!
Thanks mate!
The video is up now
You're making some of the best and most wholesome bush craft outing videos. Keep it up.
Thanks mate, I love the wilderness and this is my appreciation of it. I prefer I will keep it up. Cheers
Your pack & bedroll are sweet. You embody everything I would expect in a modern-day nomad. Awesome!!!
Much appreciated mate, growing up I always admired the adventurers of old and now that I’m older I can fulfil that lust for adventure and precure the kit to go along with it. Thanks for joining me.
There are a lot of bushcraft videos showing you how to do stuff. This guy shows you how to do stuff and look good doing it. My wife always said “style matters”! 😂
Thanks mate, it’s inspiration from the great adventurers. Thanks for coming along
Pan roasting your own coffee beans… really??? That’s amazing. And always the bay leaf in your cooking. Total class.
Certainly is the best Coffee when you roast it yourself from scratch. And the Bayleaf truly brings things together. Thanks for stopping by Dominic!
Great stuff as always. Glad the bear left you alone, pack some bear spray, would hate to lose our favorite bushcrafter😀
Well, good thing Black Bears are skittish on the east coast since they are smaller due to less range. I just yell at them and they run away. I care more for their protection from humans that might harm them and hope they remain afraid of humans so they will be okay. There is always an excitement when I do see them. Makes one feel more at one with nature. I’m honoured for the title mate. Cheers
you're making me hungry! That all looks delicious. I like your walking stick. You have quality gear as well, nice.
Hi Jose, nothing like good food in the woods. A good Walking stick gets me there. Good quality kit ensures that I'm prepared and that it will last. Thanks for joining me mate. Cheers
@@TheLoreofBushcraft you’re welcome.
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much! Glad you could join.
love your walking stick. will have that list of foods soon.
OK, I’ll look forward to it. Yeah, it’s a great stick. I love it. Thanks
Little tip for you keep your blanket in your bivi bag when you stow it at the bottom of your bag keeps it dry clean ect.great video jealous of your kit must have cost a fortune
Hello mate, thanks for the tip, the only problem is if I put both the Bivi and the blanket on the bottom like that the weight would be unbalanced and it would be like a child pulling on the bottom of my bag, the weight needs to be dispersed in order to carry properly. Wool is water resistant and retains its warming properties up to 80% even when wet. I don’t own or need a car, and bicycle to work, this offshoots lot of the cost of the gear. I also contact companies and get discounts as well as freebies. I’m glad you enjoyed the outing and I will look forward to hearing from you again on the next adventure. Thank you so much for your support.
@@TheLoreofBushcraft no worries buddy 👌
That sure looked like a delicious breakfast
Indeed it was, thank you!
Just found your channel today.. big Joe Robinet fan.. your video from a year ago.. the beyond meat balls one was recommended.. blasted through it. I am subbed now ❤
That's awesome Anthony, I'm honoured! Welcome aboard
Great review thanks mate😊
Thank you for your appreciation 💪
Lovely video bro, so peaceful. 💚
Truly. Thank you so much Joe!
Thank you so much for all the work in creating this video. It came at the perfect time for me. I’m stuck at home with a minor injury right now and cannot get out into the woods for the next month or two.
This is exactly the kind of camping that I love to do and the area that you’re filming and is very similar to the remote areas that I often access.
Please keep up the great work, and know that you are much appreciated!
Stay safe!
Hi Michael, Sorry to hear about your injury. I trust you will get some good reading, watching, relaxation, and some small projects done whilst you mend. I'm glad that I could take the adventure to you, and you could enjoy the wilderness from the comfort of your home. Stay and heal well. I’ll try to have another adventure out soon. Happy New Year Michael!
Great video! I appreciate the hard work and dedication. I'm getting back to filming this month. You have such an awesome kit! Keep up the great work. 👍
Hello mate, yeah Bushcraft is a lot of work on it's own but then filming and editing is a whole other project. We do this because we love it and people appreciate it. Well thank you for your support and make certain to send me a link to your film. Happy New Year! Cheers
So good to see you’re back I really enjoy your videos. You know when you post a video it’s always going to be good. It’s just a sense of peace and Tranquility you get from watching your videos. Thanks ever so much I think I can speak for all the people here, and say we really appreciate the effort you put into making your videos.
Thanks again
Thanks mate, these trips do bring me peace and tranquillity, so I suppose that trickles out to you all and it's the reason I share. Nature has a great way of doing that. Thanks so much for your kind words of encouragement! Cheers mate!
This is still so amazing to me!
Thanks mate!
I really love the old school methods you used. Thanks for giving us some peace amidst the chaos of life.
Yeah I suppose I’m quite a romantic (old school). I'm honoured that you completely understand my quote. Being in the woods certainly brings me peace and the fact that I can share that peace with others is one good thing that’s valuable in our modern life, technology wise. Cheers mate!
Very nice video…I enjoyed watching!
Thanks Rain!
@@TheLoreofBushcraft bruh I always wanted to do what you’re doing but never got around to it! You have a new fan my man!
@412Rain Get out there and wnjoy, it's so fulfilling.
YES, new vid dropping 💯
Thanks!
What a wonderful video, true wildernesslivingskills, stunning scenery, love the sleep system, and that awesome water bottle, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig
Oi mate, nice to hear from you, it’s been a while. I’ve been following your Pagan posts on Instagram, as usual, very witty. I’m glad you enjoyed the adventure mate. A Happy New Year to you Craig! Cheers
Thank you so much for this!!! Yours is my favorite bushcraft channel.
much appreciated, William!
Some amazing bushcrafting! Beautiful spot and the right gear! Love it!!
Thanks mate, much appreciated! I’m honoured
simply the best
thanks, Chris!
Man I got to say. You’re the best bushcrafter I’ve ever seen. And doing it all in style. Love the channel.
Scott, thanks so much! It’s just such a fulfilling activity and I really enjoy it. I’m honoured by your words. You made my day! 💪
So good to see you back. Love the coffee roasting process too. Spanish merino wool blanket rocks!
Yes, Coffee from scratch Jacob, you certainly appreciate it more. All the extra labour you do out here has a satisfying reward at the end. The blanket is great and I think it tops my Hudsons Bay 6 Point blanket. Happy New Year mate!
Great to see you back, and at such a lovely time of the year. It's summer here and in the high 20s, too hot for hauling a pack around, but I'm looking forward to autumn and winter so I can get back out there. The new kuksa looks great! Thanks ever so much for all the work filming, editing etc, that you do to bring your trips to us. Love from NZ
Hello John, so nice to hear from you mate. We are literally polar opposites. I'm about to head into a snowstorm winter advisory and I'm looking forward to it. I love winter camping. I will be filming this one so you will be able to join vicariously. Don't let the heat stop you. Happy New Year to you and your family brother. Great to hear from you as always. Cheers
I'm glad to see you back, sir. As always, great content. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Thanks so much, great to hear from you. I hope this is a very happy year for you and your family as well. Cheers
Great video! Expensive gear. Gourmet food. Bush crafting in style!😊
Thanks Jack!

I just discovered your channel and have enjoyed your content. It's been a couple mornings since I've ventured out into the woods but this has encouraged me. Headed out tomorrow... subbed
That's lovely to hear Darrell, you will never regret going out but you will always regret not going out. I'm glad I could share with those who appreciate the great outdoors and inspire them to get out there and enjoy the wilderness. Welcome to my adventures. Cheers
Hello my friend its been a long time coming couldn't wait for this one to come out always a joy watching your outings oh and by the way I love the helko werk canvis going to look into getting one hey I noticed that you always build your fire pits the same way great for retaining heat and great for cooking on things like this only highlight your bushcraft skills I've been doing bushcraft survival for many years and watched alot of youtubers and let me tell you your one of the best your skills are off the wall anyway you stay safe out there my friend and cant wait for the next one.
Hello Steven, I am honoured by your kind words. Yes, the Helko Werk is great for an easy set up full-on shelter. Just roll it out and it's ready. I'm on my way to an outing now with it in a winter storm advisory and I will stay in a shallow cave. I will film it so you can check out the results later. Thanks again for your kind words. Cheers
I didn’t know this one was out I didn’t even get a notification and I’ve already got it down as all notifications. Glad I checked.!
Yeah mate, enjoy the adventure!
Wow great gear great video. That’s a beautiful forest too! Definitely subscribed and hope you tons of success!
Hello Alexander, glad you could come along. Yeah, it’s great to have such a beautiful place to escape to, it helps to provide balance. Glad you enjoyed the adventure and I appreciate the support. Welcome!
Dang brother saw a new video pop up and changed my whole view on the day. Very happy you found the time for a jaunt in the woods and thanks for taking us along it's been awhile.
Hi Sam, I’m in the Very often and just don’t document the trip as often so that I’m in enjoy it without interruption. Well Sam, you made my day with your words. Good to hear from you.
If I were in that environment, I'd don't think I'd even remember to turn the camera on. Beautiful country my friend Thanks for letting us enjoy it with you.@@TheLoreofBushcraft
I stumbled onto your instagram channel today and had to find your TH-cam channel, Hello I have just read your bio on this channel..and yes Inspired…those people you mentioned in your bio have also inspired me. Like minded I think the term is.. Growing up Les Hiddins. Bush Tucker Man inspired me in the 80s maybe earlier. I’m here in Australia. An awesome video thoroughly enjoyed watching, I’m keen to catch up on your previous videos now.
Hello Eric, we live across a world from each other, yet we share a bond in pursuit of the great outdoors. There are great treasures in nature, and returning to the woods is like returning home as John Muir would say. I’m glad I can share my experiences with you, Eric.
Cheers mate!
@@TheLoreofBushcraft hello , thanks for your reply, could I ask your name please?, yes three degrees of separation, we are all connected, distance is of no consequence. Totally enjoying your videos, very much appreciated. Could you suggest an outlet in the UK For equipment. I have been admiring your leather pouches . The leather is a useful source of helpful items. Enjoy the tranquility, looking forward to more content. Respect and kind regards. 🇦🇺🇬🇧👍
Greetings from Poland! 😉👍👌
greetings mate, welcome!
I recently joined your channel. I love your videos, man. The video production, scenery, music, gear, and the entire content is really awesome to watch. Thank you for doing your work. I am a fan. Keep up the great work.
Wow mate, you made my day and put a big smile on my face. I love the outdoors and I’m so glad I can share it with people who appreciate it. I don’t think I’ve heard a nicer comment. Thank you so much Andre!
Nice bear!
you caught that, awesome. There’s a long story behind it, read it in the description.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
🏕️🌿💪 Thanks!
@@TheLoreofBushcraft I AM SUBSCRIBED 💪🏼👍🏼
Very cool outing.. I was a litle surprised to see you eating a freeze dried meal since it seems like you mostly cooked all your own meals.
Breakfast looked pretty great to me. Thanks for the video brother
Hi Mark, I bring freeze, dried with me for the first night because it gets dark early and one spends so much energy setting up and harvesting firewood you just want to eat and rest. You certainly don’t feel like cooking something elaborate, 😂 it’s simply more convenient. Nice to hear from you. I wish you a happy New Year.
@@TheLoreofBushcraft Makes sense.. Happy New Year to you as well.
Nice 👍.. really enjoyed that.
Take care 👌🏕
Thanks mate, nice to hear from you!
Nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
New Subscriber. Take Care Bruh 👊🏾💯
Welcome to adventures mate!
@@TheLoreofBushcraft yes indeed thanks! 👊🏾💯
There he is! Looks like your spot was happy to see you again. I couldn’t quite make out all the runes on your kuksa but I was able to see most of them... Nice details! Any snow up your way yet?
Hello Chris, some patches of snow here and there, but the rain has washed it away, not to mention the warm weather. The Runes "dead, follow the course, so the stream." Old Norse saying. it’s no other way of saying to be a maverick.
I saw in another vid you did that you are in the PNW? I havent found any landscape like yours yet. Im jealous.
Hello, PNW Bushcraft is the name of the outdoor Bushcraft equipment supplier that I use frequently. They are a small business with great products and that’s why I try to amplify them in my videos. It’s where I get my food pantry bags, my waxed pillowcase and my Bushpot Cedar bag. I’m not in the Pacific Northwest.
Good bushcraft video and no In-yer-face-blah-blah-blah or pounding music Pleasant and relaxing. Was that Maple sugar you put in your Kuksa for the coffee?
Glad you enjoyed it mate, That was natural cone Cane sugar. Done in an 18th century style. it’s still used in British colonies throughout the world. that’s the last bit of it because it was a cone.
Fantastic as always .. love the little kettle! Is that the Eagle 0.7l kettle.
Cracking kit dude!
Oi Paul, it is the .7 kettle. Indeed, great piece of kit. Happy New Year mate!
@TheLoreofBushcraft Happy new year to you brother!!
Regards as always from S.Wales 🇬🇧
Subscribed! Great videos, keep posting. Do you post all your gear anywhere? That little lamp you have on your stick is really cool, where did you get that?
Welcome, thank you, I will. I post a lot of my knives on Instagram and there’s a video we get back that I have a load out of the variety of gear. Is a UCO from Badger Claw Outfitters but he doesn’t have them anymore. You can search for UCO candlelight to get one. Let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers
Love your content brother 🫡
Thanks for making my day! 💪
What brand jacket you wearing bro?
@whiskey23alpha64 Hi, that’s a Filson
Great videos. A big thank you. Your bedroll set up is excellent. Was that a panther in the woods there?
Hello mate, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it was quite comfy and protective. It was a Bear. Take a look at the description and I explain the situation..
@@TheLoreofBushcraft Thank you.
Another enjoyable video. Youve definitely developed a distinct style both in video and attire. All good. I appreciate all your efforts to share these experiences. It serves as inspiration and comradery to the merry band of outdoor people out there, myself included. Looking at your bed roll, would it he classed as an Aussie swag bag or is it based on a frontiersman design?
Lee, long time happy new year! Yeah, it's great to be able to share with those who appreciate such activities. I don't know which style it is but if you find out please inform me. Nice to hear from you mate.
@@TheLoreofBushcraft and a Happy New Year to you! If you're ever back in the UK and fancy a wildcamp trip, let me know. I'd be up for that. Whereabouts in the states are you? It's unlikely I'd make it out there, but you appear to have a few favourite spots you like to revisit.
really good stuff, would it be possible at some point to include what food you're making on the screen or maybe a short word doc download? I think it was maybe a beef stew towards the end but it was hard to tell exactly. Nonetheless I love the gear you use, layout of your videos, the scenery etc.
Hello mate, good point, however, it does say Beans on the lid of the container. I didn’t realise it wasn’t as noticeable as I thought, otherwise I would’ve left captions. I must’ve edited out the part where the lid clearly said Kidney beans. It’s Kidney bean stew. Well, at least it makes for conversation :). Thanks for coming along. Feel free to ask any question and I’ll be happy to answer. Thanks again.
@@TheLoreofBushcraft yum that sounds even tastier and beef stew thanks!
I really like your style. Very old school. 😀. Your coffee, do you strain it or just let it settle?
Thanks, I’m a true adventurer. I just let the Coffee settle, a couple of grounds if that doesn’t bother me.
Love the folding fry pan, where did you source it from?
Hello Blaine, it was gifted to me a few years ago but I’m sure you can find them online.
There you are! I’ve been worried about you and really hoping you’d do some new videos. Hope all is well is well and thank you.
Hi Russell, Happy New Year. Always in the woods but not always on TH-cam. Thanks for kind words mate!
Where are you located? My fiance and I keep guessing. But it's hard to tell. Just curious. Love your videos.
Hi Lauren, I’m presently in the north east United States. Lovely country isn’t it?
what song are you listening to in the woods?
I listen to Bushcraft and/or Adventure podcasts
What are your thoughts on the Helko Werk Swiss Army wool blanket? Is it really worth $200? The canvas bedroll looks amazing.
update: I ended up purchasing 2 Ektos 100% wool blankets from Amazon. I saw the Helko Werk Blanket was rated at 460gsm and the Ektos at 600gsm AND I bought TWO for HALF the price.
Hello mate, I don't own a Swiss Army blanket. The 2 Types of blankets I do own are Hudson’s Bay Company 6 Point (Queen size) historical iconic blanket (yes the one you read about in school) used by Frontiersmen, Trappers, Soldiers, Native Americans, Traders and Mountainmen since the 18 century. I also use Bushcraft Spain Merino wool blankets (King & Full). The cost is $400 for the Bushcraft Spain and $700 for Hudson Bay. They are in my opinion, the best Bushcraft blankets one can use without a doubt.
Are you in the States?
I am presently, I’ll live here for a couple more years and then go back to the UK
@@TheLoreofBushcraft 👍
@@TheLoreofBushcraft in the Pacific Northwest or east?
Northeast
Holy molly how many kilos did have on your back?
approximately 13.6 I know backpackers, who carry more than that
@@TheLoreofBushcraft that back pack looked to me like 17 kilo?
yeah, I weighted it with food
@@TheLoreofBushcraft How long do you hike from you vehicle to that campsite?
@sipapito it all depends, mostly a few kilometres and 45 minutes to one hour. I’m an athlete, I’m an Ultra marathon, I box, I cycle and I lift weights. I’m 50 years old today and I’m in better shape than I was at 20.
❤️👌🫡
