In this video, my dog and I hike deep into a spruce forest for our first camping trip of 2024. I get back to basics with a unique tarp shelter, ferro-rod fire making, simple camp cooking of soup and oatmeal, and lots more.
Thanks for watching!

Nicholas nice camp, hope you got a deer or moose this year. I always love the sound of coyotes but I also know they aren't a joke.

Awesome video , absolutely awesome. I've had more encounters with Moose in the woods than Coyote , but I've laid back in the tent at night and heard them howling so I know they have been around. Actually once while out cooking our evening meal the woods beside us lit up with howls and the second I shone a light they stopped. The companionship of a great dog is awesome , I've set up trail cams and got bear and coyote show up after I've left no doubt attracted by the smell of food. Your shelter was great. Great collection of shavings made sure your fire had lots of fuel to get going, you obviously know your stuff. Your video showed up as a videos I might like , they were right 1 minute in I am a new subscriber.

Very enjoyable video Nicholas. Nice simple and efficient shelter shaped much like one I learned from Mors Kochanski at a 2 day survival course in 1987. Your dog is awesome and shows her Bordie Collie and LDG instincts well. Smart enough to not run off and check out the coyotes.

What astonishes me in these videos is that everybody puts their kindling on the ground as opposed to making a layer or several of split wood as a floor to make Your fire on top of that. We call it lightandforget fire. That way You have some leeway to do other chores which are a plenty when sleeping outdoors. Generally, it is called lighting on top method as opposed to lighting underneath method. But I like Your videos all the same😊 All the best, from here Finland

@wituikbws 2 ай бұрын

I've seen that method but never actually considered trying it. Next video I have a fire in, I'll give it a try! Thanks for the feedback 😁

Wow it has been a while . Good to see you in the woods again. Why so long? Your vids are a pleasure to watch. I miss your adventures. I am old and its good to see young people with guts and courage to venture into the woods. You carry slugs or buck shot for that scatter gun. Looks like its a single shot, hope its a double. Where is the lever gun. Did your leader take it away from you. Shameful politicians on both sides of the border. Good to see you out and about Great looking dog looks like he can take care of himself. Be safe take care of yourself and family.

Do you slways use cutting edge to strike a ferro rod rather than the spine

@wituikbws 3 ай бұрын

On this knife, yes. The spine is too soft to strike a ferro rod, it's a terribly cheap knife 🤣

@thenomadichillbilly908 Ай бұрын

Who makes your knife?

@alanbierhoff6831 3 ай бұрын

Just out of curiosity, why don’t you strike your ferro rod with the spine of your knife or a designated striker? I’m a match and/or lighter guy so, although I own a ferro rod I have rarely used it.

@marksmith9295 3 ай бұрын

I thought the same thing initially but expect that the spine may not be sharp enough. Can always resharpen the blade although the part of the blade used looked to be very close to the handle and not used much.

@wituikbws 3 ай бұрын

This is exactly why. This knife is an abosloute POS I bought for 35$, it actually hold up great for everything aside from striking ferro-rods. I can't for the life of me get it to stay sharp, I'm pretty sure the steel is just too soft which is kind of pathetic, but then again it was 35$ 🤣

@alanbierhoff6831 3 ай бұрын

@@wituikbws Thanks for the reply. I have some $15 Mora knives with rounded spines I don’t ever think would strike a spark but they’re great knives. I think I’ll just stick with my matches and lighter. I’ll always have the ferro rod in my pack for back up. Matches are just how my father started teaching me to make fire 55 years ago.

I think I'm cursed because a lot of my favorite backpackers either they just quit sending out information videos whatever and some of them don't you know it's it's months in between videos and that's the case here with Nicholas long time in between videos and dude I don't know what you got going on in your life but it must be hectic and I just hope you can get into more of a little bit more of a consistent routine on giving us some fun I don't know if you plan on like trying to actually make some money from KZfaq or I don't know what your goal is. But as a fan of your channel that should be nice to hear from you I know at least every 2 weeks or something you know anyway let us know what's going on. Is this not your priority in life. Well you know what I mean right. Is it a big construction job where you travel for miles or what is it that keeps you away from us. I just not really into the whole KZfaq thing ???? Be a good amigo and talk to us don't be quite as quiet as you are on your videos😅

@wituikbws 2 ай бұрын

I hope I'll be able to get myself into more of a routine with the filming and posting, but its always been hard for me to be consistent with it. I'm often doing other work or occasionally going out without my camera. My goal is one video a month but even that is hard to keep up with lately as you can tell

@@R.h31-sr4hj Yes I know, most all great pyrenees are white... But there are also a small amount of full blooded great pyrenees that show the RARE trait of some black in their white as well. On a side note: My mixed half great pyrenees and half doberman, is a light tannish golden color with white legs and chest.
