Great to see the Camp with some snow around, pretty rare for this area

15 minutes in no talking than the first words he says is “that’s good coffee”. I love it. Looking forward to this winter

You don't have to explain the necessity for supporting your family. This channel provides a valuable service for those who resonate with its content. It is entertaining, educational, thought provoking and showcases man, nature and beast (Jaxx) at their best! Lol! For those who can’t understand that you have chosen to earn a livelihood doing something you enjoy, and that poses no out-of-pocket expense for them- then…they have other issues going on. Haters will hate, supporters will support. Keep doing what you do. Follow your bliss!

Great shelter. I love the fact it's all enclosed, and the hunting tower is an added bonus. The knife is beautiful. You're fortunate to have a friend who makes such a quality product. Very impressed with your setup.

This is the adult version of having a fort in the woods. Lol.

New type of ASMR

Thanks for the "in use" review Mike, much appreciated, it gives so much more weight to a review rather than a desk top or knife show stand opinion, I hope it serves you well for many years!!

Seems almost like a spiritual experience at camp. You take pleasure in the sound of sharpening your axe at your camp. You’re thoughtful and respectful about your relationship to the natural surroundings. What a pleasure to watch.

I live on a island thats due for a major earthquake, ill be buying the suggested supplies before that day comes. Thank you for teaching me your skills, they will surely help me survive when the island starts to shake and goes into chaos.

Just wanted to say thanks to both yourself and your dad for two wonderful channels. I'm a Patreon on the TAFishing channel but have enjoyed both channels with my daughter who is 11. You've inspired us so much that we've just booked an overnight bushcraft course this coming August so we can start our own bushcrafting journey. We're both super excited.

I'd like to see a time lapse of the camp from winter to summer. It would be cool to see how the camp looks!

Its crazy to see that after a year and a half that you went from 300k to 1.1 million subscribers ...It just goes to show that what you're doing is working, and that people enjoy watching your honest, engaging, and informational videos. Keep up the great work Mike.

I don't know how you do this without a dog. I like my own company but I'm not strong enough to do this totally on my own. Bravo to your inner strength.

can't find it on airbnb

For a none bushcraft survivalist or an outdoorsman, I find ur descriptions on what ur doing and why very helpful. I enjoy other buchcraft channels but I instantly subscribed to ur channel. Very well informed and obviously I do appreciate the talking. U and Joe and r the best.

Not sure why, but this, ironically, makes me feel better while watching this on my computer in my house as I microwave my dinner.

Hey, Mike! I am back again to enjoy your first (maybe) bug-out camp at its most developed. It is August as I am watching this and the winter scenes are refreshing! It is fine to remember the tower! Thanks for keeping your 'iconic' videos up! I did not remember how much helpful advice and technique about axe sharpening was in this one.

You got me into everything camping, bushcraft, peace in the woods and everything that go's with it! I love building my bug out bag and watching you. I know this is old but it's the really good stuff! Keep it up bro, From the USA!

Lived in Canada for 34 yrs before returning to UK. Had a homestead for 10 of those years there. Man it's a lot of work non stop yr round in all extreme weather Heated with wood furnace Spend all winter logging and cutting wood for next yr Looks like fun until it's required or freeze I enjoy the shows. Keep em coming Watch for ticks. Lyme disease.

Keep the fire pit centrally located but adjust the roof. Pitch it like a teepee and allow a vent in the center roof. Just my opinion

Did anyone else not expect him to be british when he talked?

Can we please take a minute to appreciate the fact that he literally placed those cameras and then walked all the way back at the start.

I bow to your expertise. You are truly a master woodsman (as we would say in the U.S.). That camp is a work of art. 🖒👏

I'm going to New Orleans for Mardis Gras 2019, my last as a resident. I'm moving to Texas in a couple months. Not too far to still visit, but still in Texas. My property is beautiful, I can't wait!.

Your videos are by far the best out there that I’ve watched. It’s a sad deal that KZfaq would do such a disadvantage to someone that is teaching a survival skill and honestly a better quality of life. Love the fact that you have been able to achieve sponsors and that your sponsors have even past the great deals down to the consumers. Hello from Oklahoma U.S.A

Aluminum foil doesn't take a lot of room, works well for reheating. Add a little water to the foil, which adds a little moisture while heading up.

Ha sido para mí una inmensa sorpresa encontrar este canal, donde se transmite con muchísima entrega y dedicación las sensaciones vividas en tan maravillosos parajes. Aunque no entiendo inglés, muchísimas gracias por compartirlo con todos nosotros. Many thanks

This reminds me of Boy Scouts, through which I became an Eagle Scout. Our Scout Masters would have us pack our own trapping gear and other survival gear then leave us in the woods. Three times through out the week they would visit us and we were to prepare a meal from the forest for them and us. It was a great, rewarding, and humbling experience. At the end of the week they would rate each patrol in the troop points for best camp, meal, and survival techniques.

Scott/Wessex Blades is a great craftsman, I enjoy his sense of humour too. Next up for me is one of his larger knives.

So I discovered your channel about 2 months back. And mate its fantastic. I've ruddy binged on your vids. Very well made, super content and fantastic charisma. Keep em comin ;)

From an old Kansas Boy, two thoughts. 1. put in a chimney of some sorts to get the smoke above the roof. 2. I like the tube idea to channel the air into the fire. It might even work well to combine the two.

Still making my way through, loving the updates, can't wait to catch up to your newer stuff

wow i did NOT expect that knife to be that sharp. tore through the wood like they were already paper!

We don't mind the ads Mike. You need your sponsorship and we will watch in any case. PS you'll regret moving the firepit out of the camp. Lol.

Wouldn’t change a think brother! You are blessed

For the smoke issue, maybe raise the end of the tarp roof farthest from the 2 shelters higher than the other end. Directing the smoke out and away from the 2 shelters.

Now that's a knife brilliant videos Mike hello from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania 👍👍👍

That knife & leather work is AMAZING!!!!! Great video!

the stitching on the sheath is quit beautiful. The deep red on dark colored leather. beautiful.

Build a "Tiki Hut" roof about 6 ft tall from crown to skirt and make the bottom "Skirt" about 6 ft diameter. A "Tiki Hut" roof looks like an upside down funnel with the spout cut off and leaving just the hole. Suspend it above the fire pit with the bottom edge of the roof about 7 foot high .. so as not to bump your head when walking around. and unless you build a huge bonfire there is no danger of the Tiki roof catching fire. Then drape the canvas tarp over the Tiki roof with a hole in it to match up with the hole in the Tiki roof. This will create a "Chimney" that will draw the smoke up and the canvas tarp will provide shelter as originally planned for. Love your videos Mike .. keep them coming. John from Carson City, Nevada USA

It is truly uplifting to see young people preserving their ancestral ways.

If it were me, I'd probably get rid of the tarp roof altogether. That way you could have your fire in the middle of camp. I think having it there is nice ambiance also. Glad you powered through the demonetization stuff last year. Glad to have found your channel.

Use the idea of an opening in the tarp or build a steeped roofline with a hole in the top. The teepee comes to mind. Our early ancestors had a good handle on the use of fires inside of a teepee.

My first video watching of yours.... You seem like a good-hearted man.... You have my vote.............................JJ...

My husband and I really enjoy watching these types of videos. I came across this channel maybe a few weeks ago. I was watching you and your dad opening gifts in the wood pallet cabin, and my hubby came in the room, after watching for just a minute, said that you guys are so awesome! Same for me, I enjoy your videos from start to finish. We're from Alaska. Nice videos :)

No problems with the sponsorships. Good to see what new gear is out there. Never would have know about the G-Stove with out your channel. And agreed, that blade looks beautiful ! Keep up the videos. I am learning a lot of new tricks.

I love the pot stand, that my friend is absolute genius! 👌

oooohhhh... bush fort! I dig it!!

Looks like Scott made you one fine blade. He's one hell of a knife maker.

Mike you do what you need to do. The content of your video will not change, What i would like to see you do this coming year. Is maybe make your own spoons,bowls or any other greenwood crafts. And why have you eaten your Dad's bait. You are treading a fine line young Pullen. Say hello to your Dad and tell your Mum i think she's a better fisher. Saw her on the boat nailed two ray's,your dad doesn't take her along anymore. top notch topper

Thank you my woods brother. From age 5 I learned woodcrafts & survival in the bush. You bring back many memories.

Eish...forget the coffee ☕...will take some Sherry instead. It looks so cool there though I'm a Summer person. By now would be shivering just looking at all the gaps. But bet that fire 🔥 warms everything up. Just the solitude would be a stress reliever. Nothing like a break from the big city lights.

That is a beautiful knife. Classic butcher style design. Kind of a high end custom old hickory butcher knife which I'm a huge fan of as well

For the roof. An idea could be to do a simple square roof, the same height as your main bed(green tarp): extend it out to the walls directly in front of the main bed(using the existing trees as supports). Then extend the width of the roof to where your fire-pit is currently at ( just before the watch tower); using your tarp to cover the gap in roofing so that you can have it up for snow or down for sun. Remove the fire-pit and put it past the wall near your main bed and do the triangle set up, you could potentially end up enclosing it in some way and use the triangle space as a chimney section of your camp. Just my 2 cents

You remind me of when my mon use to make huge fires when I was growing up as a kid. She would burn big piles of leaves from our yard and she would blow into the smoke like this guy does. Man I feel nostalgic

Mike, Thanks so much for the G Stove discount code. I've been wanting that stove every since seeing it on your channel. Awesome!!! And, even better that it sends some support your way.

Your cooking crane is the bomb diggity! I love it.

I think you did an amazing job I was amazed watching you it's unbelievable how you guys put that all together

hi TA Outdoor im 13 you inspir me everyday and i like your vid so much so im gonna try to do this camp in m version bye have a good day

I spend a great deal of time outdoors,i always have. I also watch alot of videos online looking for tips and methods. I have to say that your interaction with veiwers is amazing. Asking for ideas on how to improve what your foing is a very refreshing and humble approach to things and i applaud you for it. Patience and humility are key components in survival situations and you seem to have plenty of both. 😁

I like the pipe idea, to fix the fire issue

another possible switch, use two tarps overhead, each angled, the high edges to the center but off set with one higher than the other.....Rain falling will hit one or the other, but smoke will find it's way out through the space, even if it's as narrow as just an inch or two....

I know I would never go out and do something like this, ever, but I do love watching it.

Adding more tarps to the walls especially in the sleeping areas would stop most of the wind and snow getting inside, and protecting your gear and yourself from the elements! I would also add a roof to the center of the Survival Fort to help protect everything else from getting wet, and having piles of snow where the fire pit is. Try to make it so that you don't have additional work cleaning up snow, or getting your fire wet, would also help in keeping more heat inside, so everyone stays warmer!

I love when you talk a bit, it makes me a part of the video, even just a short intro or some words or something

Детский сад на прогулке! Куча ненужных игрушек. От радости еду сжог... :-)))

Siete favolosi, vi seguo sempre da quest'estate che vi ho visti per la prima volta ... io vivo in un bosco e qualche volta ho provato a fare come voi ma mai così in grande ...

как в Игре Престолов.... снег, лагерь, Джон Сноу ))

I'm really digging the Wessex Blades Leuku knife. It reminds me a lot of a butcher knife from Cutco or Old Hickory knives (both are popular here in the US; Old Hickory is a division of Ontario knives and Cutco is a stand-alone company). I'm loving the scandi grind on the blade and how the grind is higher toward the front and middle of the belly of the blade and how it's much lower toward the tip. So much of the work a knife does is in the front and middle of the belly. The shape of the handle reminds me a lot of your Lignum (?) Steeler knife. Cold Steel makes a machete that has a similar blade profile that they call a bolo blade. The concept is really brilliant: much of the weight is toward the head of the blade, so when you swing it to chop things, the momentum carries the blade deeply or through the material. I have one of these machetes and they work as advertised. It's tough to keep a good edge on one when you use it a lot and hit things you shouldn't lol......if I may say, the Matt Graham design from Condor looks to be a pretty good rendering of an all-around survival/bushcraft knife that's a little larger. It seems to be able to do a lot of things really well. I appreciate your channel and your efforts not only to provide a high quality production but that you want to provide for your family as well. Bear in mind that KZfaq (or YouScrooge as I like to call it at times) has decided to stop showing firearms-centered channels or those that feature guns. This makes me extremely angry and I've contemplated boycotting KZfaq and Google as well. I also understand the plight of folks who depend on KZfaq income for their livelihood, so I've held back a bit on my actions. Still, it's very disturbing, especially here in the US, that a channel would see fit to cut content that has been a part of the culture and heritage for over 200 years. It's very frustrating. I'm hoping the Google executives reconsider their position on this issue. Keep doing what yer doing and bless you and your family.

Thanks for this vid !! I love all of your videos.

I love making cozy fires and warm milk chocolate

Watching brings me some comfort during these times. 💓

camp looks more proper with snow cover, great vid. a large tree stump has the potential to draw smoke towards it, place it on the side of the fire you want the smoke to go

Builds fire pit Makes fire next to it Well played

Excellent video.. The air tube for the fire pit I must say is your best option for sure

You are going to need a game precessing table for any extended stay. Pile a large amount of coals on the top center of a tree truck to make a large bucket to keep everything clean.

I gotta say Mike right now you're the best bushcraft youtuber right now because you're a hard worker and most of all you respect your subscribers. Some other bushcraft youtuber whose name I'm not gonna mention used to be number one at least in my eyes and now when the money is pouring he became lazy he makes one video a month and uploads a part of it each week I mean that is just disrespectful the subscribers gave you a chance to do what you love and make money out of it. Long story short keep up the good work you're amazing and for me you're number one 👍👍💪💪

Nice I do love this camp I'd mud the walls and put a roof over the whole thing but that's me you do you.

Thank you for making the serial channel, it is peace, pure and beautiful.

What dramatic fire lighting skills.

New to the channel, been looking into bushcraft a lot lately as my Dad and I would love to have another father/son hobby. Great to see some UK based bushcrafters, we just don’t really know where to go or where to begin. Awesome vids mate!

Gonna do this thing next spring I miss my survival skills we use to do my brother is in heaven now n I haven't done it on my own but we taught each other a lot maybe up loud n tag u

You are never too old to go play outside and build a fort. Bravo sir. Bravo

Only just found this channel, so looking forward to going back and watching some of your older content, especially the stages of the camp build. but really enjoyed watching this video, great info and advice delivered well. I hope you can continue to make these as a job and thanks for the discount codes.

Love your videos and you should add a out house for the camp.

I just registered to gstove and im using your code 👌 Have been dreaming of a gstove setup since i first saw it on your channel...cant afford it yet..but someday 🙌 Stay strong and keep those videos coming 👊

Beautiful new little toy.

As for the wall that is blocking the air flow you should take out the bottom logs so that wind could come through the bottom of the wall but also have the top part of it to stop from getting too much wind

Yes! I missed the shelter! Thanks mike

Hello mate, I have just been bought a puuko from Scott in 52100 I have carved/mutilated my first ever piece of wood into a spoon and it is still shave sharp! Awesome blades, great camp. Keep it coming.

I watch videos like this to help me fall asleep

You're awesome to watch, and I learn amazing skills and survival techniques from watching your videos!! Some stuff I already knew, and some stuff I'm just learning, me and my wife are living in a 6 man dome tent in Lewiston Maine, during the winter right now, it's Thursday November 16th, 2018, & I need to get another 15 gallon drum of propane, how to get our first snow storm supposedly, in a few hours.... Kind of wish I had a wooded stove sometimes, but, it's nice to be able to enjoy the heat instead of running around to the point then I'm getting heated from me sweating from working all the time, plus, it's hard for me to tell if I'm getting heated up or warmed up correctly, when I'm running around collecting firewood raising my temperature anyways!! So that, by the time I'm finally relaxing from running around collecting firewood, and keeping the fire maintained, I finally can notice whether I need to be warmer.... Lol bahahahaha.... but, when I'm using my propane heater my Mr Heater help buddy Big Buddy 18000 BTU, propane heater, it really helps us big-time, and keeps us warm through the chilled nights of 11° to 12° degree weather!! Just got to Hatchet or tomahawk, survival Hatchet, where can I find a sharpening stone, any suggestions my friend? Definitely enjoy watching, learning and growing from your videos, keep em' coming.... We are about to build a tiny pallet house, we're going to try to use nothing but pallet materials, I might purchase a decent box of nails, can use the back of my Hatchet for a hammer, and I might need to get a couple metal brackets for the roof, for the framing on the roof, and maybe some as seen on TV rubber cement sealing cans, but besides that, I should be good for my materials, I'm hoping.... I had applied for housing, back in June 1st of 2018, and now its November 16th 2018.... LoL... Bahahahahahaha..... So much for us getting housed before winter, whereas I started planning in the summertime.... so we decided we'll take care of ourselves in this situation where no one else seems to be helping, the whole reason I was going the housing route, and case manager route, what is because the way I was doing things obviously wasn't working very well, and I figured being helped or guided along the process by a professional who deals with this on an everyday manner, would be the way to go, naturally! I'm disabled, and I get SSDI and SSI for a 6th income source of money, and survival, for bills. And even with me having guaranteed rent every month of my own, I still have not been housed?? Lol... and it seems as though everyone else I talk to you about this, they all mostly say the same thing, they'll say, " wow, you guys haven't been housed yet? ", But yet, the one person that I would hope would be thinking that way, seeing my case manager, are not thinking that way, according to the way things have been playing out with my management of my case! So with the way things seem to be working, as far as me seeking out help, and getting helped, I would rather build a shity tiny pallet house with four walls a roof and floor, with a door, and maybe some insulation, and we'll be happy, just a safe, and warm place for us to relax, sleep, eat, and pretty much function on the down time of day, and that's all we really need!! Love the videos, wish I had more money to help support your channel, I've been supporting my Local KZfaq friend, Tyler, at " Secureteam " & his amazing channel, so as long as I'm doing better financially soon, I'll definitely get you back bro, whereas I really enjoy your videos and knowledge on the outdoors and survival, thanks man. Take care, and look forward to seeing more videos, Jeff W........... 🤘🖕😉👍⛺

finally! a video that isn't "Secret underground pool and slide crafted by ancient skill" !!

If there was to ever be a zombie apocalypse I'm chillin with this dude lmao

I remember watching you build it and it's still impressive.

You are Outdoor professional !!! Great !

Love your videos and you should add a out house for the camp 👍🏻👍🏻

As far as I’m concerned you sponsor what and when you can , , great job

I’d run the drain pipe for sure, keep the fire pit in the middle for warmth in the winterand keep the bugs away in the summer. Plus it would be a fun little project.

Lot of work went into that 'Fort'! Keep up with the work.
