- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- Join Mike Pullen as he spends a solo overnight under a blanket shelter and builds fire torches to keep the bugs away. With temperatures reaching 25 degrees celcius, high humidity and little to no wind, Mike arrives to the woods at 6pm and gives himself 90 minutes to build a frame for his shelter, get a fire going, cook food and make torches from natural materials to keep the bugs at bay.

Hey Mike,
Just wanted to ask you, the Canvas Tent you have in your videos, is it the one from Militairymart or not. If not, I would really appreciate a link.
Thanks a tonne for the brilliant content,
John
I'll be sure to pick up a bag when the TA trekker pack comes back to the store. ;)
Looks like you be getting your 2nd TH-cam plaque. I love see you dad get 1 million subscribers. I even made a lamated pic to put on my fishing tent saying if you love out door camping and fishing then check out follow on youtube TA outdoor and TA FISHING SHOW. even done one for my every day backpack. 👍
👊!!! Notifications of you??? 😤.
Lesson 1. 👩🏫. When a person write to you, and makes you feel good, there are something, that it calls DETAIL, that if you use it, is very pleasant. Really!!! The details serves to express to other person with its, that you aren't a shoe, that you have sensibility and THAT gives you sense in your life. Sensibility and sense!!! ☝️!!! So I give you a 💡to you because it's good for you a social progress. Your Wellcome!!!
Just about to order my bag of coffee 😊
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE COFFEE!!! You can see how happy, and proud, you are to have it for TA Outdoors.
I hope your daughter grows up and wants to go camping with Daddy. It would be cool to see you two together, like you and your father.
The forest beckons us to go hiking, fills our thoughts. You can't stay at home anymore! You literally rip your jacket and backpack off the hanger. You set off on a journey where there are no people, and nature is especially beautiful. The smells of wet needles and last year's foliage are carried by warm air, which, like a powerful stream, passes through you. You can't get enough of them. Smoke-smelling camping food and clothing. The forest accepts us as we are. We are his guests, not his hosts. And we are grateful to him. How can it be boring for someone in this world, where you can look at the pattern of veins on a green leaf for several hours. Great video. 👍
Nice thoughts 👌😊
Did you just assume the forests gender ?
watch out here comes the woke trolls.
I tell you what. Your presenting skills get better with every video I swear down. These are my favourite type of videos!
You should make an underground shelter in the woods. I’ve made one but i’d like to see how you wil make it.
I second this
I third this!
I agree !
That's not easy to do in Europe. Pretty much every piece of woods is protected, digging into the roots is illegal. I couldn't even do that in the military on army property. It takes a huge amount of paperwork and permissions to be able to do that kind of thing. He's lucky he knows someone who owns this privately, otherwise even the camping would be illegal in a public forest
@@LeutnantJoker i did this in europe
The sound of the water being poured into the aero press is so satisfying!
OIlskin, wool, and lamb steaks: it doesn't get much more old-school than this.
I bought a small bug head net a few years back and to this day is one of my best investments, you never realise how bad they can get in the uk!
Bug net for the win! I use it when Canoeing and camping by Lakes.
Having a set time to release video's will definitely make it easier to spot the new ones, which will also make TH-cam more likely to plug your video's for you. That was a brilliant little shelter, I can't wait until I can have a night in the woods again. Keep up the good work 👍
I could only dream of doing this in my rocky terrain country. Its just so pleasing watching someone like you build these shelters regardless of how simplistic they are
If I can do it, you can too!
@@tiffanymarino-kelly708 everywhere I go its Garigue/karst landscape
Who gave this a thumbs down????? This is great! Thanks for this! Your videos do show up for me and I’m on the southeast of the US. Cheers!
Such a cute little house you made in 75 minutes! And that was the best visual of a personal perspective to making a jam knot! Best I’ve seen you explain it, and you were best to begin with. Your Da should be proud, you getting better and better. I have little moss or cramp balls. I may grow citronella or some such, to use fresh. Punk wood would substitute for cramp ball, yes? You really are an inspiration for this old lady!
Thanks! Yes you can use punk wood too 👍🏻
I watch this from my XBox, but I got this up on my phone just to say I'm happy to see a fellow Englishman doing this, I haven't done it myself though I want to, other videos I watch are from channels like Stephen Wallis and Wranglestar.
Pinged you a like and a comment just to boost the algorithm for you pal. It’s actually been a we while since I’ve came across your videos but I’ve enjoyed heaps of them in the past.
Hope this one hits for you mate.
Really good idea for the wooden frame for a shelter , tempted to do the same with a British army poncho next wild camp. Well done on keeping the channel fresh with new ideas.
Cheers Darren, good shout with the poncho. I've done it with the Lavvu and it works well.
I ever make it to the UK, I have got to shake your hand. Owe ya a big thank you. Youve been a huge inspiration. You were the first bushcrafter i came across on here some years back. Keep on keepin on bud.
Thanks Tony!
I’m very sorry to hear that your last video was not well received, because I absolutely loved it!!! In fact, I love all the ones of you and your dad building a village for your little girl!Pleeeeeease don’t stop making them!!!!! I will be soooo disappointed. ☹️ Maybe you could do a few camp craft ones in between the village builds???
Oh we will keep doing the mini village! They are part of an ongoing project and it’s been great fun making them.
Tim is an awesome guy and the stuff he makes is amazing with the most upmost attention to the product use and build
🇨🇦❤️Thank you again for another thoroughly enjoyable video.
I love going with you on your adventures especially because I’ve been on my own in lockdown for about fifteen months and counting. (I’m ok though because I’m kind of a solitary type and I feel badly for younger people that have missed so much).
I follow a few people on TH-cam and some of them play a lot of music in their videos and that’s fine if I happen to like the music, but the fact that you don’t need a soundtrack is one of the things that I appreciate most about yours.
The sounds of nature make beautiful music, in my opinion.
Thursday’s would be perfect from my perspective because none of the other people that I watch regularly put out their videos out that day, so yours would give me something to look forward to each Thursday.
I couldn’t help think of your wife when you spoke about getting some sleep. When my daughter was little, I vowed to myself that someday I’d catch up on the sleep I lost and now that I’m entering my late 60’s, I’m finally doing just that. I hope your wife is able to get a good nights rest from time to time. Also, you made me laugh when you mentioned the word carnage because living with a two year old is like living with a small and hyper drunk person sometimes. 😂
Another great video Mike. Really like the blanket and light weight sleeping pad. The shelter was brilliant and looked really cosy. Congratulations on the coffee collaboration. You should design your own bushcraft knife! Look forward to your next video
Repurposing cordage 👏fantastic 😀Thanks for that knot tying tip!
Great video man, can't believe it's been 18 months.. blink and they'll be 14, teenagers are a whole new level of joy...!
hahaha a new month, a new challenge!
It's amazing to see you enjoying a Colombian coffee!! ,,🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
the x4 24hr overnight camping and testing survival ration foods was so cool to watch :)
No worries mate, really enjoyed this episode, so beside "ringing the bell" we will keep an eye out for your videos, and make sure that we drop comments as well as hitting the "thumbs up". Appreciate the time & effort you put in to making these!
Thanks David, appreciate it 👍🏻
I think you could have used just the bank line with a zig zag pattern from the lower side rail, over the top around the opposite side lower rack and back again. Perhaps with a loop on each rail. This would work I believe and keep your rope longer for reuse. Just a thought. GDB
Good to know there's another outdoors guy dedicated enough to make real coffee in the bush! With the aeropress, see if you can locate a steel filter. It allows some of the oils to go through that are caught by the paper filter. It gives a result a little closer to Espresso.
Nice shelter!! Those Bug Torches are pretty cool too! Keep up the good work!!!
Good to have another video of your's hit my feed. Peaceful where you camped.
This was some good weather, shame it didn’t last long 😂
Haha it was!
Greetings from Eastern Ontario, Canada. Great video, very interesting shelter. Love the firebox, one of the best ever designed. Enjoy the time with your daughter, they grow up fast.
As a Brazilian, I do appreciate my coffee... And yours looks awesome! Made me want some! Loved the name and design as well! Hope it's very successful. And I believe this is my first ever comment (??) on your videos. I've been enjoying the channel for a few months now and have to thank you for the awesome content! Cheers!
Cheers for commenting 👍🏻
That was mint. I need to find some locations like this. Love the cap too.
I so enjoy a tent with a floor. Yours being open front back and bottom seems so much less comfortable. Not complaining at all. I love to see you and your videos roughing it. I love the buildings you make best. Keep up the great work.
Love your vids whenever whereever Mike - My 3 year old Daughter and I always watch them together, she often asks if "Mike has another house video" :-D Love everything you do!
Absolutely love the oil skin/wool tarp/blanket!!👍
Calming, cozying, and cheerful. I have been inspired and motivated by channels like yours to make quality relaxing videos to improve people's quality of life.🌈
Wow, good effort lad. Not much to protect you there. Missed your dad on this one, he cracks me up.
Love them bug repellent torches
Really like your channel...I've got to say thanks for your 15 tarp setups video, I recently bought my first 10x10 tarp from Free Soldier and I used your video earlier today to help me setup the Adirondack style shelter. It came in handy and I think I did a pretty good job setting it up for my first try, thanks to your help! Keep it up, love your videos.
Glad it helped you 👍🏻
Don't worry Mike, I watched the last episode. I don't rely on notifications. In fact, I never get notifications. Since I am a subscriber, I daily see on my channel which channels I subscribe to have posted a video. I never miss any episodes. I enjoy your channel very much.
That's awesome to hear! Thank you.
I think the most fascinating part for me is the cramp ball fungus bug torches. I have kept an eye out for them every time I go exploring/hiking, but have yet to find one anywhere. I also love when you explain the different knots.
You can find them on dead or dying ash trees. Normally easier in winter as there is more deadfall on the ground from the stronger winds.
@@TAOutdoors I did hear that.. Will keep it in mind! Thanks!
Great video again! I just think it's amazing how you are so quick to adjust the shelter for your needs and if it rains. I would have left it sagging lol
Get yourself a pack of reusable cable ties at 20-30 cm for making tripods etc. If your still keen of tying everything please consider using the clove hitch, with an overhand knot to secure (if need be). I grew up in a family of sailors and climbers. Every time I see people using this weirdo jam knot.. duh! Good knots are easy to tie under every condition, hold tied and can be opened after being under tension. There's absolutely no need to cut a rope ever. If you ever need a knot that does not need to be opened (easily) again, use a constrictor knot, which is a version of the clove hitch, which tightens without tension in itself.
Besides that.. love your channel! Great variety of in and output.
Thanks for sharing another great video with us Mike! Always love watching your videos and I’m always staying tuned for them. Would be awesome to see you hit 2 million this year and I think it will definitely happen! Best of luck with everything!!!
My boys & I have been binge watching your channel! My 8 year old has been asking to watch only bushcraft stuff for the past week or so.
Btw I’m still getting all the notifications 😉
Another great video. I can't wait to go out camping again. Best wishes from Greece
I really hope to see this man on the show Alone one day. Sure he’ll do really good
I haven't seen your videos lately. I will be watching more.
Thank you!!
Only seems 5 minutes since you hit 1 million. Well done. That coffee sounds good. Might have to order some. Cheers.
Thanks Chad 👍🏻
A lamb steak over the fire has gotta be good. I love that blanket shelter and your skeeter torches. 💯❤👍
Nice shelter and meal. Thanks for showing us. Take care.
Thanks for all the excellent tips in the video,will be watching more of your content now.
Great video Mike. Enjoy watching you from Halifax, Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Awesome video Mike! Been watching for a few years now good to see you doing well
Here is my comment just for the support. Keep up having fun outside and I can’t wait to see you and your child out as a young father myself. Best
Thank you 👍🏻
Set upload times and dates only work for people that are super eager to say FIRST. I'm simply the kind of person that is generally comfortable watching last months uploads next month. I also do not do push notifications, since the day they introduced it that system has been either broken or used punitively. /subscriptions will list out 100% of the videos as uploaded by the folk I watch and that is good enough for me as well.
I’m so happy you took the time to explain the knot and loop method for tying the wood together because I kept rewinding and zooming in to see how you secured the posts lol.
By the way, I’m finally building my pallet cabin 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ! It’s coming along nicely 😊
How's your cabin coming along?
All 4 walls are up. I just need to attach the door and put the roof on. I’ve done it all myself! A friend is helping me cut the tin roofing tomorrow ❤️
I wish I could show you pictures. I don’t know how to post them
Love everything you build but when are you going to build another bushcraft camp? The first one was so awesome I’d love to see another one some day soon hopefully. Keep up the hard work and cool over nighters
Yes Bushcamp 2.0
Love your simple way of just doing !
That blanket looks the business. You wouldn’t want to carry it far but - 10Iber easy.
Great to be in the woods with a fire - nothing better.
I have a suspicion that lamb was called Lassie.....
I love your channel. I have enjoyed your videos with you and your dad spending time with each other.
Great vid man, love the bug repellent idea, remember watching you make them in an older vid, I will for sure be using this idea on my upcoming trip, I'm sure it'll be a lifesaver when it comes to the nats, or as I call them the 'no chill bugs' lol, thanks for your vids man, I've learnt a lot from watching them. All the best.
G
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. I’d never heard of the bug torch before. I’ll look for your next vid on Thursday.
Thank you 👍🏻
Nice one , looked an enjoyable camp. Wicked tip for the bugs 👍
Thank you for putting in so much effort into your videos!
Thanks for noticing.
Congratulations Mike!
Really simply done. Thanks for sharing your expertise
Usually I do not comment on videos but I‘m really sorry, your last video did not get pushed to all of us, so here‘s some traffic ;) really enjoy all of your content! Biggest blast would be another series with Paul, canooing and wild camping ... keep it up!
Thanks!
Woodland tiki torch!!! Amazing!!!!
that Oil Cloth Blanket thing is pretty nifty
Love the idea of Thursday for uploads!! Great video and shelter idea!
Cheers!
I did get notifiication, and I watched last week's episode. Loved the mini Round house.
Here it is you have a woolblanket/oilskin and I'm thinking 'he'll to something like an Adirondike set up'... but NOOOOo... you built and full blown Military Wall Tent! You don't do anything half way! What an awesome campout.
Your Knot is a Weaver's Knot. I was taught, your loose tail should go: under, over, over, under. Under the long cord then over the cord, over the loop, then under the loop and through. This knot should tighten against the other knot and prevent both knots from coming loose. Weavers, knitters and crocheters use this knot because you can trim the ends of the tails off.
I got lol the notifications and I like the regular scheduled uploads. Enjoyed this video.
Glad to see and hear things are still going well and always looking forward to the next one. Cheers
I myself have not gone camping or bushcraft but would love to. Your videos are helping me gain the knowledge necessary
Set time, for sure. Thanks for taking us along on the build.
I like Mike. I like Mike's Dad. I like their content. What's not to like about Mike?
Great video. So relaxing on a Friday night. Keep it up!
Congratulations on your coffee line. I really like the oilskin/wool as one unit. Great content. I have always called that knot you show at the end of the video a "blood knot".
Definately going to be making those torches, summer comping in france is about to be so much more enjoyable ! Cheers mike, have a good one !
I've been keeping the strings from the tops of bags of animal feed for cordage lately. Those strings are tough, never seem to break down, and I've already bought the things anyway.
I can tell you I’ve cut myself on those a few times they don’t break😂
@@tomgillespie195 Oh yeah, cuts right through the skin when you pull the wrong end! Seriously tough stuff. I was opening bags of chicken feed this winter and thinking what a waste. I wrap the strings around a stick to keep them neat and use them for all kinds of stuff in the garden now.
Sounds great even Thursday
It's way harder than it looks so good job my man
Nice shelter I have an canvas oilskin blanket similar to yours but have only used it under me. With fire season in Saskatchewan a campstove is a little safer than the twig stove but there is nothing nicer than a fire
The english subtitles translate the pouring water into the aeropress as "applause" hahaha! how appropriate for your new coffee! Congratulations! I can't wait to taste it!
Haha We'll go with that! Thank you for the comment.
I have no one notifications of you... YET. CONGRATULATIONS. AND I HAVE THE🔔. NOT LIE TO ME, PLEASE.
A weekly video would be great!
OMG that tent thing is so cool and by the way on Saturday im going to my friends house and we are going to camp there
Hello there. You guys have some beautiful country over there. I live in Denham Springs louisiana in the U.S., our summers are usually temps in the mid to upper 90's with heat index exceeding 100 and humidity in the upper 90's to 100, that 77 degrees would be so welcome, our summer nights is like in the mid 80's. In other words, I would sure love to be somewhere else during the summer. Lol. Keep up the great videos and I'll keep watching
I have got one of Blues poncho/ blankets. Only used in the rain a couple of times ( it is HOT when walking!) but it is so solid. He made it a bit smaller than his standard size for me as well and it fits perfectly ( I have 'ducks disease' - ie I am short!) Would really really recommend his gear, and this item in particular.
It’s great gear 👍🏻
You're lucky to have survived the night without Jaxx to protect you!
Truly a madman
Love your inventiveness!
Always love watching your videos!❤👍
Great Video, Mike! I wish I didn't have to give up tarp camping in the summer. Maybe this is a solution.
It’s something a little different. Harder to setup than a tarp but could be great in winter too for heat retention.
As always outstanding video keep up the great work from down Under 🤚🤚👍👍
Great episode Mike! Thanks!
Good video and awesome shelter. Thanks for the good content Mike
The way you connected your salvage cordage is also a knot used by knitters and crocheters.
2x2s are pretty much only good for using as blanket and A-frames leantos as well as hammock roof or secondary roof say if you have a bright orange tent you want to make stealth for viewers from the top of you are camping in low grounds..there aren't many conversions you Can do because they are so compact..cool blow up mat...btw Mike if you are into rigging your own gear you could reduce the weight and keep the heat of that 2x2 by sewing a reflective mylar blanket on the reverse side instead of the wool..congradulations on the coffee man
