Great job, quite a girl & dog in that order! I realize your young and this is your learning, it takes 3-4Xs to master. I would just like to pass on some TTPs, tips techniques procedures from and old time bushwacker 1. Make a strap/loop to carry many woods 2. Weave wood so points are under main supports, friction will fail all tarps! 3. Bbark can pealed into many layers 4. Go to $store by Aluminum foil for fire reflector, saves much wood and work 5. Lastly little known put hot rocks in metal pale and cover, bring into sleep area will give off heat for some time, a bed sheet liner, on high will collect any mositure, prevents rain inside then air out in the day Again I truly enjoyed, and am proud of you for both doing and sharing, many have no idea the commitment and truly HARD work!

@@wituikbws I appreciate the work & skill in your videos, as I have also built, with help, shelters in the Canadian woods but without the extra work of filming. In my experience the blue tarps that you are using last one winter, maybe 1 1/2 years exposed to the elements. They will start to leak and shred even before this if left in the sun, wind, etc. I still have not found a cheap, waterproof & windproof cover for cabin roofs, "A" frame shelters or lean-to's.

Lovely to watch and listen to, it brought back many wonderful memories for me of living in BC, where I built a wood cabin in the middle of nowhere and was very hands on. Peeling bark, hauling water from the creek up the mountain, building forms in the snowstorm, painting tar, staining boards, hammering, all done with The sounds as accompaniment and often insect bites and the threat of bears and surrounded by coyotes. Sure wish I'd thought to film it but we just didn't do that then. Anyway, good luck to you both, enjoy these wonderful times together. X

When I spent time in northern Canada, I would always make my fire up against a large vertical facing rock. The heat would radiate both into the rock and reflect away from the rock. When the fire went out, the rock would radiate it's heat back into my sleeping space, so that I always stayed warm if the fire went out. I put a large log between me and the fire, so that I could control how much heat radiation was hitting me directly. I would build my shelter up against the rock in order to capture the heat into my sleeping space. There was always a vent hole directly above the fire, so that the smoke would exit the sleeping space. I also learned a trick when making a fire. I split a log into two pieces and spaced the two flat pieces 1" apart. I would start my fire between the two flat pieces of the log 1" apart and the flames would radiate their heat back and forth between the two logs. Flames like to lick their way up a vertical surface and this creates a natural draft, as the cooler air comes in from the bottom and the warm air exits the top. In the bush, try to collect birch bark when traveling. Birch bark has a natural oil in it, that burns even if wet. At home, I start my fireplace the same way. Two flat vertical wood pieces spaced 1" apart, with a sheet of newspaper between them. One match and the fire starts itself with no kindling. Always make sure that your wood is dry or you will be wasting your time trying to get heat out of it.

Never tried this, just an idea I had watching you hang the tarps. Lay the 2 tarps on the ground with top edges overlapping. Roll them together around a ridge pole. Then hang the ridge pole from tripod to tripod and the tarps would hand down. Basically the top ridge would be rolled together around a pole. Seems it would work well to keep water and wind out. Hope that made sense. Also you guys did great, enjoyed watching this. I'm not one of those people who's saying what I would have done different or what yall should have done different. There's more than one way to do things. I've never done anything like this so I definitely cant put in my 2 cents. I plan on doing this this fall in the mountains. Watching videos for ideas

take some advice my friend wear gloves at all times cause your not near a doctor to get treated for cuts and the bark scraper is the #1 tool that will cut you bad every time if you don't loose a finger doing that , and if you get cut bad, apply pressure to the wound for 15 min or longer, put some moss on the cut, 2nd find some pine sap and coat the cut real good this will stop the bleeding and 3rd keep it clean and dry at all cost till you can get to a doctor , if you plan to live out there keep some moss and pine sap handy you can put pine in a jar and moss just add water to the moss to keep wet, and cut some fire wood for the winter and a shelter lol its winter come and also keep a eye on the wolfs .

Yes! Without positive relationship building this ain't gonna work. If both of you weren't on the same page and in tune with each other one or the other would have never stepped foot into the woods again after the first trip. Couldn't help but note a bit of division in the labor. Seems sexist to me. ;)

@@HappyBuddhaBoyd I would agree to disagree with you sir. Communication is very important.. but the couple that can abide in silence without feeling separate or ignored. To just "be" in the others presence. Or even be able to do creative or camp maintenance tasks without talking ... like couple ESP. I value THAT.

i am relieved to hear that you have been learning new and better ways. you built in a flood area. but there are ways around that. for example, an old timey way is a "High Hide" an upside down quad log base between four large trees of similar size and species (equal growth) it intersects at the bottom like an upside down quad pod with boulders, weight, and leveraging. then platform with lodge poles. that way when flooding, rains and predators are about, there is protection. also one of the first things up should be the smoke house and high hide for food (like indigenous people) wolverines and marments can't climb the foundation but can climb the trees. your gun should be beside you and on your person, especially when hiking. not just for protection, but thats how its done. the reasoning is energy spent already for one task (hiking) meets opportunity to catch game as you see it. it always seems that when you go wilderness grocery shopping they are nowhere to be found LOL thanks for the vid! i enjoyed it 😊
