Overnight Bushcraft Camp With My Dog-Rock Cooking Bacon, Making a Bush Chair.

Before I go out and look for more rocks, this is like a rocking, rocking fire. So I think I'm going to just maybe put this here to get warmed up, and then we'll see where we go from there. If I find more rocks, I can prop it up. If not, maybe I can just use some wood here. But yeah, this is a good, good, good bed of coals. I don't want it to go to waste. It's super warm standing over top of that fire, messing with it. So we're off to find some rocks, off to see if we can find some rocks. snake grass pot scrubbing brush also i think people call it it's like super rigid deer deer prints all in here, scout smells them, this has got to be like a little wetland area straight punk punky punky wood loose cannon style this almost looks like a trail i've not been back out this far on the property i'm at uh the property where i'm allowed to be martin's property i've not been this far onto the crown land yet at all so i have no idea really where i am but i'm looking for rocks i shouldn't be going uphill i'm just kind of intrigued by what this looks like over here so maybe we'll go check this out real quick and then head back downhill let's go let's go straight up the hill come here scout come come up up up trees everywhere spruce and white pine those are trees that grow up very quickly when there's some like a disturbed site whether or not it was clear cut or logged or um fire this place is awesome man there's so many little like like peaks and valleys everywhere and you can kind of get yourself feeling like you're out in the middle of nowhere i can't even see my uh my tarp anymore thing's completely gone good thing it's white i see a clearing up here i'll go to this clearing and i'll head back down yeah just a field here nothing to see maybe there's some rocks in the field actually let's see okay this is gonna be a score i'm coming up to a bunch of rocks here this is like an old trail yeah perfect so if i get get two a couple a couple of this size they perfect i don't need to raise it up much off the coals i'm gonna grab a few perfect this is awesome oh but you skill but it's time for me to eat man i'm starving as you saw i was successful in finding some rocks they're not the biggest but if i prop them up two on two it'd be so bad pretty good pretty good height i think what i'm gonna do now is uh set up set it up properly the rock is already very very hot try to cook some bacon real quick yeah oh yeah yeah yeah she's uh she's a toasty one bud all right so i stopped at the butcher near here got some bacon loving the bacon and do a few pieces i'll do a few for me and a few for scope six or eight even well you know what let's put as many as fit that fits on as many that fits on that's some legit heat right there i might have to flip it very quickly Four at a time, I guess. She's cooking quick. She's cooking super quick. Oh, no. What do I do? So hot. If only I had gloves. If only I could put my gloves on. A little on the hot side. There we go. Crisis averted for the most part. That's done already. That is so fast. Oh, buddy. Best bacon that you can buy. Best bacon that you can cook on a rock. Ah, I broke my bacon. Broke back bacon. Piss. Still good? still good still good well ash never hurt nobody so this is gonna work really well for my steak too oh and it'll have bacon grease on the rock already it'll have bacon grease on the rock all right let's try some of this this is the last one we made here you go buddy first bite and everything quite tasty look at how wet the rocks are from the grease bacon grease still going residual heat, oh chilling back down after I got back here not doing much so fire's died down too, not getting warmth from that, throw on the coat for now I'm loving this this place man, there's excuse me lots of resources lots of resources for things I want to do and use I think I'm gonna start construction on a semi-permanent base camp here salty salty bacon I have this half a liter of smart water and my canteen full still I've only had a couple sips of water which isn't good I got to I have to melt snow for water which is not good There's there's patches where snow is deep enough where I can collect it pretty easily But I think I'm gonna try to find the pond, he said there's a pond back here if I can find a pond I might be able to chop through the ice relatively easily It's been warm and like where there was snow there's not and there was a lot of ice and super thin So I might be able to chop through it with my own my axe. If that's the case, it'll make water collection easy either way It's gonna be fine. Just don't know what I'm gonna do yet. I will need water for tonight I'll need water for Scout too actually I gotta go get him some water He does eat the snow which helps but he needs to have access to water Especially after eating a salty salty bacon just one sec buddy. He's salivating He's literally pouring from his mouth I am having a great time. I feel very relaxed here I feel like I'm comfortable home like home It's um It's a good feeling because I don't usually have that feeling when I come to places Because I'm not familiar with them unless I have been there before the place that I go around my house This is how that feels but I feel like comfortable. You know, I mean, I'm not trying to make myself comfortable I am comfortable it could have a lot to do with the weather too it's nice out man there's no sun but I'm not cold to put this jacket on I was fine yeah having a great time super glad I brought my dog super glad I came oh dude you have something in your eyeball it's like a seed head from like a like a grass or something it's only one I gotta get some firewood I don't really feel that pressed for time I might just lay around here for a little bit with the dog and decide what I want to do good feeling not proud not being pressed for time I'm not Excuse me on my last trip. It was like work work work, and then get firewood other than the firewood wasn't even enough I feel very relaxed coffee. That's what I'm gonna do Bam take too long at all trust the old Phantom X possible pouch inside of the guy small first aid kit My light for my camera for nighttime. Oh my axe loop. I'm gonna put that on my belt Forgot all about that. I borrowed my buddy's headlamp because I forgot mine at home, pulled a Joe the mount for my light for my camera, diarrhea pills, lens cloth, fire starter the fire starter, this is a space blanket that I could have used if it was gonna be colder, I could line it in the inside my tarp here, coffee, some water purification compass power bank for my phone or my GoPro, oh and chapstick I'm gonna use some of that and an extra battery okay, extra battery needs to stay out coffee needs to stay out, and this needs to stay out. My battery's almost done. My first battery, I only brought two. I'm sure that'll be enough. I did half the day with one. So my axe loop, we'll hold that in there. It's not made for this axe specifically, but it will work for this axe. It'll actually work better than the axe it was made for because the axe it was made for is a little bit longer, the Scandinavian forest axe, whereas this is the small forest axe style. Yeah, I guess I'll put it on the other side, obviously, so that I don't have it interfering with my knife. These fall Ravens are great. They have belt loops very close to each other I like putting my knife back in between these two so it has nowhere to slide, very very tight fit I've got to burn the end of this belt actually I might do that while I'm out here Got it new and it was way too long because I'm a skinny boy, but it's heavy-duty and I like it. Okay Check out One Tree Leather on Instagram for things like this, still using these Jeeva cubes and loving them This is the classic I've upgraded from French vanilla to caramel to classic I'm hardcore now guys drinking it black if you haven't seen them before they're just like straight up Colombian coffee pressed into cubes just add water I don't add anything else to it and she's good to go smells super good it says raw unrefined cane sugar granulated Colombian coffee those are the two ingredients in it from the states too so yeah definitely not sponsored by them or anything like that they did sponsor one video but that was many videos ago I am a really big fan of these things it's actually got me drinking coffee extra vices for the win it's almost boiling i'm gonna drop it in there now it doesn't even need to boil it's water from home but it's getting it hot can you see the sun sun's out guns out all right scope sun's out guns out hey bud am i annoying he's tired ---- unboiled he's done you know what so it doesn't lose its warmth i'm gonna set it on the rock look at that not much better isn't that better i can set up my chair you got that i got a hidden woodsman um bush chair i should set that up maybe i'll do that after i uh well you know what actually after i have my coffee now i have to go get water whether or not i find the pond or snow too much water too much water in there so i um i've been seeing a lot of people tagging me in things lately for my clothes the clothes we've been putting out the Bam sun shirts and stuff like that I just want to give you guys a heads up I've been ripped off like crazy so a lot of the things I've been seeing people tagging me and like oh Joe look I just supported you by buying this or whatever it's not even from me and it's completely a ripoff I had somebody come to me email me and say you're getting ripped off with what you're doing I can provide a better service for a better cost and I was just completely turned off by the way he approached me with it and I said no and I like the guy I'm doing business with Tack Designs Oh oh scout you're getting ember landed on him he was burning up um tack designs is who i'm working with to do it and uh they're awesome and i'm really happy with them so i know i don't want to change uh providers so i said no i'm good and then he went and did it behind my back and sold the design um showed me the design he wanted to to us to make i said no i left that alone i didn't steal his design or anything but then he went and took the bam sun and the logo design and put it on on a bunch of stuff t-shirts mugs i've seen sweaters uh even like puffy jackets and stuff like that it's all a rip-off guys it's all support it's all if you buy it you're supporting him uh ripping me off so i'm taking legal action now we're in the middle of doing it i tried to just let it go and um but it's not going away it keeps happening uh and um yeah he's not he's not willing to stop and there's more than one person doing it so my point is please if you are trying to support me or please if you're trying to just buy a Bamson t-shirt or a different t-shirt that i have because you like it please only buy it from links that i provide in either my instagram feed my instagram link on my page is is the is the t-shirt uh website so you can go get to it from there or a link in this description in this video or in videos i put it before please only buy from those links because if you just type in Joe Robin at Bamson you're probably getting ripped off i'm sorry you're probably getting the wrong um thing i'm getting ripped off so anyways legal action is being taken uh for the states for canada for my trademark and for the people who are using all of that stuff on a lighter note and a happier note i have uh we have fixed the shipping we now ship worldwide so all of my uk and beyond um customers or subscribers who i have a lot of even from australia all that stuff you guys were hitting me up a lot saying where's the the shipping for overseas well it's there we were able to find a different ship uh courier and i dropped a few bucks off it so that it's equal to the canadian and the american cost that was a big sip um and there's a new shirt there's a new shirt design two on the inside one on the outside uh referring to my taut-line hitch as you guys know i'm sure so that's a new t-shirt out right now we are doing dog bowls collapsible dog bowls with scouts logo on them so those will be ready very soon and hoodies as well hoodies with my uh my logo he's curled up like a little husky like a little husky with his nose tucked under his under his tail anyway so i just wanted to a little public service announcement about that um yeah no worries if you haven't bought one just if you have maybe you want to check and see and even if you did buy a rip off one i uh whatever you know what what i mean i'm not i don't i definitely don't need you to go and buy uh a real one now please don't do that i've had a lot of people telling me they were going to do that it's not necessary i just wanted to give you guys a heads up it's crazy how people can just jump on people's coattails you know like um i don't want to get too much into this because people have different opinions on on it all but uh scouts my dog and he was in my first youtube video and he's not going to be around for much longer and i love this dog and that's my logo and you're stealing it you're straight just using it after i told you that i don't want to work with you even if it is legal because i didn't have my trademark yet like it doesn't make it right you know what i mean anyways it's funny how people can think how somebody could live with themselves or go to bed at night after after doing something like that like you're scum you're scum he's been very content to just lay here my coffee's done i gotta get my button to gear now um what i need to do is get water and firewood and make a chair so right off the hop i'm gonna make i'm gonna get water first so you can see my smart water there's like almost half of a half a liter and then i have a lot in here so what i think i'm gonna do is condense one-handed one-handed condense my containers then i'll fill this up what i'd rather do is fill this up but i don't believe that all my water will fit into here so i'm gonna do this fill this up and fill this up depending if i can find the pond and break through the ice and get water, I'll fill this up. That's my plan. And then if not, I'm going to just fill this up with snow and start melting it. I'm going to bring my axe just in case I have to chop through some ice in the chance that I even find the pond. Mission, water. Bye-bye. This is a decent amount of snow right here. I think while I look for a pond, I'm going to have a pile or have a cup of snow melting. That is some packing snow. Okay, so put that on while I go search for the pond. Put my grind on, I'm gonna put my mind on. Well I haven't even gone really far away from my shelter at all, my search for the pond. I've already come across like three or four nice pieces of firewood. One there, one on the ground there. Oh a woodpecker! You see him? He's on a spindly tree. Just, oh there he goes. Scout season. I believe it's a hairy woodpecker, could be wrong. Very cool. Oh or even a small pileated. It is awesome out here here right now there's literally no sound at all there's not there's not a breeze i can hear the little woodpecker pecking away but glad i'm out here talk about woodpeckers these are definitely from a pileated woodpecker those cavities the long narrow cavities pretty decent that is a loose canker tree if i ever saw one i'm a loose cannon i am a loose cannon you guys know what i'm talking about right i know a lot of you do wow oh yeah loose cannon for sure i'm trying all sorts of cool stuff no pond but another canker another burl on this tree here and if you look or i've seen a lot that are on similar heights similar heights on the tree so it might mean like an ice storm came through or something along those lines at the same time scarred up all the trees right around the same time here's another one right here about the same height and then up there again too just crazy up there i don't know if you can see with the gopro but there down the same tree lots of i'm finding lots of dead straight wrist size thick pieces too so i'll be able to i think i'm giving up on the pond thing but i'm gonna collect some sticks for my chair i need three sturdy wrist size uh logs plus a smaller one i need three and then a like three and a half maybe be good for one watch out bud one of the poles two i was gonna call this one number three but i cannot pass up using this for firewood look at that check in there she is uh that's a gold mine it's a gold mine i assume i'll just be able to pull it over if not i got lots of lots of branches and i don't want to try and carry that through the woods you guys hear that plane like i don't understand how many planes can fly overhead choppy choppy uh watch up buddy yeah this isn't maple at all move move move scout wood is so clean geeking out over this wood boys and girls straight geeking deacon of geeking look at the color of that wood that is some bleached wood man very clean what are you gonna do now what are you gonna do did that thing come out of your eye stay you did it sure did good good boy no don't lick it you want to eat your gum there you go what is this turkey tracks over here are these turkey tracks or not it looks small maybe a turkey track maybe grouse 100 percent is a bird though i dropped my uh my two chair pieces because i kind of got turned around so i found my my tarps way over there past a couple peaks and valleys so i got my nice piece of firewood here my two uh chair poles are back that way i'm gonna have to go and try and find them again. It's not the easiest woods to walk through with something like this. I'm a little caught up, a little hung up. Watch how it's going. I'm going to javelin you, bro. Straight spiria. Where's home? Where's camp? Nice. Oh, it's boiled and everything. Yep, boiling and somehow I'm able to touch the handles. Crazy. Lots of debris and leaf litter in there, but that's all right. It's sunny. It's quite sunny out. I've got a few different lengths of wood. some are firewood and some are for my chair i'm going to try to um try to use these three this is an old piece of oak is rotted but this center should still be good this piece of aspen and then this piece of aspen so the two pieces of aspen might be sketchy so in case they are if they're not gonna hold up i did grab this nice big long oak these are all dead all i didn't really have to use my axe or anything and push them over this this uh solid piece oh there's a couple behind me two out of all this I'll be able to make my chair and have extra parts definitely not done getting firewood but this is a good start get the three that I want to use I'll kind of prop them up on a taller log gonna be about seven feet long at least I can always take or if they're longer it's fine but they have to be at least seven feet tall or seven steps rather not feet so this one see how it's like soft was bent that's no good that one I'm just gonna mark it where the other ones are too here I'll be able to clean that up having the logs propped up on the off the ground kind of helps there helps a lot actually so all I'm gonna do is tie an overhand knot to secure it to itself to secure the paracord to one of the logs two overhand knots actually wrap a couple times actually one time because I'm short on paracord I can use I have more but if I can just get away with using this I'll be happy off now let's set it up where I want it to be position it in the spot it's going to stay because once it's up i'm without adjusting a lot of things i did not tie this tripod tight enough until we tie that did a horrible job tying that up okay you're the woodpecker there's two of them that's all i can hear okay before i um retie my tripod i want to pour my water uh into a bottle because it's getting all funky look can you see in there all sorts of funk ashes and leaf litter and whatnot so Before that goes any further not that it's the biggest deal in the world, but try and pour it all into this water bottle Let's go. I'll get you some water one minute man. Just let me do this though. Let me do this buddy Okay, almost shouldn't have poured that last bit in there almost a half a liter in there here Let me get you let me get you some water one sec But so this is uh, this is gonna be the collapsible dog bowl that has the Scout logo on it Just this is a prototype making sure I like it. All right, that whole thing's for you big guy. There you go no you have to drink it good boy good boy drink it here here that's water man i know it tastes like smoke but that's how it is that's water you're too good for your water you're too good for your water that's yours man here oh buddy eat some snow then whatever she's solid enough all squared away it's time to get the chair on to her so i got this bush chair made from Milkum at the Hidden Woodsman you guys have seen me use chairs like this before but they've been out of sill nylon and another one was out of like an old uh blinds like old curtains but all this is i'll loop a piece of paracord through the top tie it to the top and i'll slide a stick or a log through the bottom sleeve and then that's gonna get tied across and that will be my chair so i gotta get this piece of paracord through this and it's not the most impossible thing in the world but it's like trying to re-thread a drawstring through like your hoodie or your jogging pants it's kind of a pain in the butt so what I have is a stick here this is not rocket science I'm sure everybody understands what I'm about to do I'm getting smoked out I'm just going to tie a loop or tie a knot tie the paracord to the stick basically and then just push it through just push it through guys you know, you follow just make it a little bit easier on myself make life a little bit easier I could stand in a different spot I would make life easier too and I could see it's just the easiest thing ever there we go dun dun dun dun paracords through both sides I'm gonna pull the stick through while trying to keep the paracord in bam son be held responsible I just tie an overhand knot like a bow like a shoe tying knot that way because you're putting a lot of pressure on it when you um when you sit on it obviously so any other kind of knot not any other kind but a lot of the knots you're going to tie will be hard to undo afterwards but this bow holds it super easy to undo so i like it okay so i'm going to need to drop it down a bit because that's way high and my feet are never going to reach the ground but that's the gist of it i'm just going gonna tie that on good sometimes you don't have to tie it on you can use friction I'll try I'll try that I definitely have to drop her though you know what I actually might even be able to have it sit on the tree there doesn't matter doesn't matter though this is not set up properly at all oh something's breaking that's not so bad the back support is the biggest thing it's being able to lean my back against something not too shabby so this lip on this side is per at the perfect height so I can gauge it that way just kind of match it up there and use this this surplus rope cordage really all I need to do on this too is wrap it a few times and tie it so I'm just gonna go back and forth creating some lashings creating some lashings and tie it on the upside in a bow she ain't going anywhere damn son for when the wind kicks up sit pad for the wind so that I don't get a cold bum no CBS no cold butt syndrome nobody likes that you hear all the birds If the plane wasn't ruining it, that's all I could hear I hear woodpeckers over there and like chickadees over there I can't wait for spring. I cannot wait for spring
