Solo overnight trip using my ultralight tarp that I made.
I used a bowdrill and had an awesome evening hanging out by the campfire.
It was a nice relaxing trip.

Probably unpopular opinion but my favourite is when the nachos go soggy 🤣 nice to see you kick your feet up for a more chill camp! After that text book fire start you might have the claim to best bush craft/tramping youtuber now. Keep it up!

You are not alone, I thought there would be a bag of chips in the packet too when you said it was nachos. I guess even soggy chips taste good if you are hungry though. Nice comfortable looking sleeping bag with the bigger foot space. Thanks for the adventure.

Certainly a chiller trip compared to your recent ones, it's fascinating to see a fire lit like that any time I see it online, must take a good amount of practice to get consistent.
