can you recommend a bushcraft knife ?

This will come in handy when I become homeless. Thanks!

Sleeping on pine branches with an extra blanket in the sleeping bag is also an easy fix for a warm night. I woke up a few snow mornings while fly fishing out on my own. It's just really nice.

I really enjoy these videos! Growing up my parents would send me on ascent programs for several months at a time. We learned how to survive only with what the wilderness gave us and a few other little things like a knife a canteen etc. I even learned how to make a bowl and spoon using the knot on a tree and a thick branch. How to start a bow drill fire, use a flint, and make char cloth. I learned how to build smaller shelters but it’s been a long time and although I remember everything I learned over 15 years of doing that stuff I’m always wanting to learn more and be prepared for any situation. You put out a lot of valuable information, tips, tricks etc. Thanks again!

As someone who has done his share of winter camping in New England. This was an excellent video. However, I would add the importance of insulating your sleeping area with leaves, pine boughs, etc. Just sleeping on wool blankets will not protect you from the cold, frozen ground.

HAHAHA.....EPIC Production bro!! Love it. Amazing how a 7 1/2 minute vid can feel like 45 minutes with all the right editing and quality footage. Well done Sir!

Absolutely no guilt watching this on my memory foam mattress.

Jsi moc šikovný člověk ...moc se mi líbí tvůj způsob táboření , je skoro nejlepší ze všech K. Hodně zdraví a štěstí ti přeji

اللهم صل وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين 🕋

Very good video. Love the music and the narration was spot on!

WE ALL will be needing this information. THANK YOU!💗

I grew up in the bush in canada and did this with my grand parents when i was 5 lol. We moved to the city when i was in grade 4 and so thankful for my young years thanks gigi and grandma very valable lessons 😘

This.... Somehow feels.. And sounds... like a 80s/90s D&D movie, love it!

Nice work. Us Navajo make a similar structure called ałchį adeezáhí, but we cover the sides with a layer of red sand.

Wikiups are fantastic, as a kid we made a ton of these in the yard, They are easy to build and work very well to deflect wind and wether.

Finally, someone gives us a clue about how much property is involved in providing enough materials to shelter up with.

- At the end of the year, winter, heavy snow season, I love to go camping under the snow is falling. Sitting in the tent, eating, drinking hot tea, watching the white snow everywhere, my heart feels very excited and relaxed. Dec, 17 - 2020.

Keeping it simple. Thank you for this video. I am from Boston, Mass., I can relate to the winters for sure and building a shelter is ideal for those who wish to travel and rough it out for a day or so. It does wonders just to see simplicity at its best..it may save your life one day or make it the best day ever; its on us all how we have a great day. Peace :)

Good job. One thing I would have done different is to surround the fire with rocks, that absorb the heat and radiate throughout the night as the fire burns down.

Speaking of smoke. I just happen to have some hash here! Ahhh. Nicely done!

Thanks for the info.Neat stuff. My dad did these types of builds with the Boy Scouts Of America. They also built bridges with saplings or young trees. He built us three kids an igloo using a box to form the bricks of snow. He sprayed it down with water to form an ice covering. It was very warm inside with just a candle lantern.

In this age of technology, cultural weirdness and crazy things happening day after day, its very refreshing to find videos like this. Thank you for the building demonstration, I'm likely going to do the same style shelter on my long-term survival trip next summer. Videos like these are very relaxing and calm. Wish i was able to be out there sooner.

I really love the style of this video and I love how you can make something so bland of a topic like build a common shelter and make it very interesting.

The Nomads of Siberia had used a more sophisticated form of this design to survive the brutal winters of Siberia, Russia Great job guys

Really appreciate the very detailed narration... Another thought; horse blankets are nice and thick, easy to roll up and carry, and make comfortable sleeping bags

Whatever is in the pipe is making you speak like a wizard.

Hey Mitch. Beautifully shot and narrated. Great music choices. Felt like I was watching a PPS production but better..Thanks

Very cool project. Maybe in the morning dig down 1 or even 2 feet for more space and room for the fire. Ring the fire with thermal mass rocks. Also weaver a nice door and an overhang. Great winter wikiup fort:)

I've never had a chance to see snow, or feel it. It's so beautiful

i've watched it again because of the videography. i'm a boondocker by trade, but this is up my alley.

Excellent video. The editing, use of music, and narration all assist the delivery of vital information in a surprisingly short video. This is not amateur work. This documentary deserves recognition as professional cinematography. Please, Mitch, make many more videos like this one. I think they could become classics.

If you have a tarp "door" for the wickiup and want a fire inside it you Must dig a 6" wide 4" deep trench from the fire pit to the outside and cover it with stones or sticks covered with bark inside and out to admit cold air into the fire FROM OUTSIDE. The keeps you from using the warm inside air for combustion. Be sure to shelter the outside intake area with a peaked "roof" of branches and bark or evergreen boughs over the branches to protect it from being blocked by snow. In a heavy snowfall you will need to keep it clear with a small, collapsable aluminum avy shovel (which you always take in winter, right?).

Приятно смотреть , как настоящие мужчины умеют проводить своё время и организовывать жизнь. Хорошо приобщиться к вашей жизни. Костёр, природа одно наслаждение. Спасибо.

Still epic! Love it man. 1.5 m too! NICE! so good..

Like the axe tip not to walk around with in not covered never thought about that but it's a brill tip🇬🇧👍

I love watching these shows

“It’s a real home from home”

Video was as epic as the shelter build. Loved it.

Did u win any short film awards? Kewl entry ...

Ocağın səsindən elə xoşum gəlir insanın içinə hüzur verir

This is good for an emergency shelter, but I wouldn't recommend you camp like this on the regular. Sleeping next to a wood fire like that will turn your lungs black. I understand that most of the smoke escapes through the top, but there's still a decent amount of it inside the shelter. I'd suggest you keep the fire outside the shelter and use it to heat large rocks, then bring those hot rocks inside the shelter. Other than that, I have no problems with your video or the content. Both are nicely done.

I hadn't seen this type of camp use for a while but I remember building them during survival training in the cadets.

The scenery is beautiful.❤️❤️👍👍

I never felt snow 👀 Respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰 Great winter ❄️ 🥶 EXPLORATION 😍🥰our country is warm mostly but some mountain areas got snow but very far from my city 🌃

Lots of smart-assesseesses in this space. You two get credit for the most sensible shelter I have ever seen, and the wikiup is now my shelter of choice. Thank you for clearing up a world of questionable options.

adorei o vídeo de vocês sou do Brasil meu nome é Cláudio Rezende sempre foi o meu sonho fazer uma viagem num lugar bonito como esse valeu galera.

Beautiful place, beautifully presented. Wish I would be there. This is called LIFE 😥

Thanks for bringing back memories use to build these with my cousins when we was little

What knot would you say is the best for the most stable TP

"And the Oscar goes to..." NICE work Mitch. Well done.

That looks cozy i want to fall asleep in that just keep the fire going .

On the horizon, you can see the dwarves emerging from their holes in the ground

Like the new style or filming. Keep up the good work!

Incredible video and build, appreciate you sharing Mitch ~Peace~

amazing, the music made it better

Love the allusion at the beginning to Jack London's short story.

انا اعشق الثلج والاماكن الثلجية .. عربي من مصر مر من هنا 😄

the day i get lost in the wild ill remember your vids ;)

One of the best wilderness skills vids I've seen in a long time. Nice work brother.

- I really like to go camping in the heavy snow or heavy rain and rain for many days, seeing it raining, or seeing snow falling is so interesting. Nov, 25 - 2020.

Love New England. Maine New Hampshire Vermont Connecticut Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I have traveled all 6 states. I camped in Vermont and hiked in New Hampshire. Thanks for the video.

What a fun way to escape the day to day grind of life. Makes me want to go camping again. Lol. Cheers.

Great cinematography Mitch. This is definitely going somewhere. Music choice is perfect.

One off the best videos. Watched many times. Pointent and peaceful . many thanks.

Outstanding..i learned how to do that when I was 10. You guys did great..going to show my 5 year old nephew how to build this.

I really love these type adventures😊

Poetic, inspiring, wonderful

Beautifully presented. Love, LOVE the music. Makes me want to build a wikiup in my back yard.

نموت علا عيشة كيما هدي ❄❄❄❄🌨🌨🌨🌨

The looks of that fire dancing you got one hell of a draft blowing into that place..at that rate one could never warm up..

Loved this video!! The music and the skills were great!

A great video. Kill the music, you aren’t making a Hollywood blockbuster. Let the natural sounds be your guide. God bless.

Pretty cool I have to get out there in the Woods I need that feeling again it’s been a wile Geeze my the military days wow thanks for the video love the set up

Dude, it was like you were telling a horror story with the flames and the dark effect, freaked me out, brrr, you should have a TV show! ;)

I love how cinematic this is!

Man, I am loving it!

Was camping over the weekend with my daughter It was an amazing experience but now watching this on my memory foam mattress too. Lol Nights

I wonder if this theatrical music always play when homeless people are in tents? 🤔

I love your classical storyteller approach to filming. Thank you for your time and a great video! I hope to see more from you.

The opening and closing, music, as well as the photography, added so much to the information you provided! I just subscribed and want to see more of your videos! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Not sure if I said this before.....but this is one of the most sensible videos I saw.

Great vid! I've never been so excited watching a fire start. Nice framing shots

MITCH IS BACK!! Dance the dance of life!

This was fantastic. Thank you for showing us how to make something as important as this shelter.

اجمل حياه في المناطق الشمالية واتمنى أن أعيش هكذا حياه أنها تشعرك بل نشاط وتحياتي لكم اخوتي في بقاع الارض

I can appreciate ur skills. Very nice 👍

I can't wait to build one of these ❤

I really enjoyed watching this tutorial. It reminds me of when I was growing up and doing these things. When I ha DDT children I taught them a bit.

I love how you build the shelter awesome!!

Those who have watched this video NOW know the TRUE meaning of life. The choice of music is perfect! Thank you so much for posting this. Now, if you'll excuse me for a bit... I going to watch it again.

So cool native survival.....

Amazing like bro Friendly country, a lot of snow

Me and my buddies winter camp on the Saco River up in Hiram Maine........I love winter camping

I love this type of camping.

I am bushcrafting vicariously here... Great video. Awesome to see Malcom getting out with you. His packs/bags/pouches are amazing! That shelter was also amazing. Solid tutorial.

Best to let the fire burn for 6-7 hours before putting your bedding down. It's best to remove as much moisture as possible then add the following day dry out your bedding completely and dry out a covering of leaves.

Shelter .. Weather.. Fire 🔥.. Low speaking.. Nice sounds.. Live snow... Playing Peacocks.. Short time video.. Everything is remarkable. I felt I m there. Great video 👍☺️👍☺️

The music was outstanding!!

Love nature, like your shelter very cozy.

looks like those shrooms were hella good. they had you trippin for a good night, mitch mitchell LOL
