Bushcraft Camp DESTROYED!

We're just sitting on the bed. We're moving in a couple days and we've taken all of our couches and tables and everything to the dump. We're buying all new stuff when we get up there. It's been passed down, passed down, passed down to us, so it's time for new stuff. And we don't want to travel with all that garbage. So, we're sitting on the bed. We're about to jump into this video. I've got a sponsor for this video. Thank you very much, Squarespace. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Good boy. Oh, right in the eye.

Well, I'm not gonna tell you You're gonna have to watch the last video to find out why Alright, let's get started I don't want to be standing around in this rain too much So, I don't want to just collapse it and leave it all there. I want to take the paracord out. I want to disperse the logs somewhat. It's obviously not going to be no trace, but it'll be not just a big pile of logs. So, let's get started. So, like I said, I just spent the night in this thing. I normally don't have a tarp on it, but I knew it was going to rain all night, and it did, and it's still raining. So, this first part we're going to take down is going to be the front wall. I'm not sure how I feel about this part. I like it in a sense of having more of a cabin feeling and seeing logs in front of you and having a little bit Of a block but in the same respect a lot of what I do over here is film and it cuts out the light Not only that I'm glad to have had this this empty spot in the front next to the front wall just to see out You know, I mean, it's nice to look out into the woods It's a beautiful scenery in front of me as opposed to just staring at the same logs all the time, which Sometimes I like but I'm not sure about the front wall and for my next shelter i build up near my house i'm not sure if i'll build one these are all dead trees i cut down no live trees to build this at all 99 percent of white pine white pine is very very common in these woods it's mainly white pine and some oak some maple these will all get restored back to the forest floor biodegrade break down provide more nutrients in soil for more white pine to grow later on you can tell by the weight of them they're all very light all very dead this thing's got to come off it's tied on as well this was going to be um oh this is where the front wall leaned up against so that is an important part if you do have the front wall you tie it on so it wouldn't move around too much obviously as you normally do for tying things they're obviously supports mike and i put these in after because of all the weight of the ceiling or the roof coming down on these on these posts going out we thought we needed to brace them up and we did in the middle and it definitely did something as you can see that dropped big time i better not take the other one out until i get the roof off so here's the original ridge pole right and i leaned them all the back pieces against that and then i wanted to put a ceiling on instead of just leaning all my ceiling pieces my roof pieces onto this main ridge pole as well i thought it'd be too much weight and look it i wouldn't be able to stand see how tall it is i'd have to be ducking the whole time so i gave myself headroom i'm not ducking at all complete headroom ventilation in the back for more smoke to get out and an overlap for the rain to drip down past i think two ridge poles is key and i definitely will be putting that up on my next trip and you can even use make it into a super shelter that way drape the the plastic from the top breakdown i mentioned this in my last video but for people who didn't watch it this fire pit isn't just rocks in a circle it this is a big rock on the ground right i was afraid of the duff on the ground catching fire the pine needles and stuff so this is a solid rock there's a big old flat rock this is a secondary one here and then lined it all with big rocks there's a lot of work but uh never had a problem with fire catching anywhere and my coals stay lit and then the rocks themselves retain the heat and pump out the heat more so it's a very good setup and i'll probably mimic this on my next uh my next little building so the thinking behind the roof was only to put the ends of it about halfway onto the fire they went a little bit farther but it still worked fine and that was for the ventilation and the smoke to leave and for me to stay and for me to stay more dry over there and when i came in yesterday that bed was dry and this bed wasn't and all i have for thatching material keep it dry is duff off of the ground yeah let's get that roof off set pesky paracord man okay that's why it wouldn't break she was still tied up look at the difference already man such an awesome spot guys slept on many's a night will be missed flat sleeping area look how dry it is under this it's crazy man how dry it is under here like bone dry anyways you can see how i how i um started the bed i've got these mushrooms i've got a decent piece of wood on the ground a solid round piece of wood i got another solid round piece of wood on the ground then i have a big round twice or three times as big as they are on top going across and then on top of that i put my lengthways logs for my bed so you're even getting another i don't know three or four inches off of that because of the logs to keep it all in place hammered stakes so here's the stake right here there were a stake there you can see how far it went into the ground and that held everything in place no no need for a rope or tying anything at this part at least and then you can really see how much it sunk down into the ground too so you do lose height over time but that's the tried-and-true way of doing it man that is not my my design at all that has been for hundreds of years I'm sure I'm sure mice were all living in here too sorry guys that's strange that's not from me that little bungee cord huh very strange there's the other side of it yeah definitely not from me weird weird i think instead of taking all the stuff off the back and throwing all those off the side i'm just going to cut the paracord and have this fall and leave it where it stands so we get rid of that bed too but let's try it one side a lot of duff on the back of there man look at that that's a lot of work guys no joke that was a whole lot of work over the course of a few trips four or five I got a decent on a paracord off of it all of this would have stayed here to potentially decompose over the course of hundreds of years or just sit here and litter so I'm really happy I got that much out of here So it makes me feel better about it. I honestly don't think I can just leave that sitting there like that either It's not a big deal. It's not gonna hurt anyone. Nobody's gonna ever find it, but it just looks too aggressive I think rains calm down a bit and I am warm So I think I will disperse it a little bit better before I get out of here It's just I feel bad about leaving it. All right, let's do it Rolling like thunder Under the covers And I guess that's why they call it the blue time on my hands Laughing like children Oh, not to forget my tripod Mike's aggressive red paracord on there We gotta get rid of that Go pick up the pieces Yeah, right-o, right-o Get from here Good shelter, boys and girls No matter what I do, this stuff, this debris is gonna stay there Don't breathe that in But it's okay it was off the ground anyway that's as far as she's getting oh it's a bittersweet moment for real it was a good shelter i'm happy to have had it have experienced time and experiences here with people with by myself but it's a new chapter in my life and i don't need it anymore if you want to know the true reason the the full reason go tune into that last video check it out i'm sure you'll enjoy it anyways it's a nice little camping camping video bushcraft solo bushcraft overnight at the natural shelter saying farewell type thing all right guys i get hiking out of here and drive the long drive home today so i'm gonna get out of here thanks for watching thanks for experiencing this with me like i said it's bittersweet throw me a subscription please on the race to a million it's going quick now now that i started asking for it So I'm gonna keep asking for it throw me a subscription. Have a good day guys. Bye
