Hey mate, thanks for verifying this. It was something I was mindful about during the camp (but wasn't entirely sure) first night I had plenty of clearance so it was no worry, but on the second night I did actually touch the top of the cave a few times to make sure it wasn't too warm (it was fine). Again, this was only somethign in the back of my mind .. but now I'll be extra mindful about it. Thanks for watching.

Great looking trip man. I was going to ask what rules can be bent if in a life or death situation, or doing a mock one but you said no foraging in a national park. So I’d imagine having set lines would be just as illegal since they are everywhere else. But in a serial situation laws shouldn’t matter

Hi guys,I love envy what you do. I was under the impression that no timber could be burnt it a national park unless it was sourced outside the park and burnt in a specified container. Are the rules different between NSW & VIC. .Or between walkers and vehicle explorer's. This is not a loaded question!!. Im confused. Regards Grant.
@TheBeardedBushranger
@TheBeardedBushranger 8 күн бұрын
Different rules for different parks. You can always find out in a parks management plan. So you can collect dead fallen timber in the alpine national park, that is under a certain size. Dispersed fires are also allowed as long as they are clear of leaf matter. You will find plenty of fire scars throughout the alps already from previous hikers. I usually stay within these fire scars so I don't create anymore marks on the land. So yeah, every national park is different, but the Alpine national park in Victoria has a lot more freedoms (there are certain areas though within the park they have specfically desginated as fuel stove only though) Thanks for watching.

I was thinking when watching this, that YT has helped bring things a long way in Bushcraft this last decade. I have picked up more new techniques and skills just watching people like yourself trying out different things than I learnt before. Growing up in the 70s & 80s all we had was tricks we picked up from a few family members, mistakes we learned from mates and the odd skills we picked up in the Military. Aside that all I had was Lofty Wiseman’s SAS survival book (who is still going strong and got to see him again at this years Bushcraft Show here in the UK a couple of weeks ago). But I would say it basically gave me the basics as you never come across many other Bushcrafters to learn from. YT and you fellas making them has helped open that all up and give new tricks and ideas - so thanks for all your doing 👍

I always enjoy watching your videos Luke because you are truly living Bushcraft. Out there trying new and different things and refining previous skills. I am surprised you didn’t heat up some rocks on the fire to place behind you in the night. They will normally hold the heat through the night and keep you warm front and back. Picked that one up off a Canadian years ago and although I have only tried it once out of curiosity it seemed to work well. I remember thinking ahh that’s quite clever that trick. Keep them coming 👍

Food is highly underrated lol get stuck in Luke😂. Great trip , camped in a cave in Grampians National Park on a 4 day hike with others. A memory I'll never forget, as you 34:52 said as though it was thousands of years ago. Time is not linear when it's not disturbed. If we see a stretch of water with no wind or wave mirror like undisturbed, just like time , now throw a stones into the water ripples disturb the mirror like surface, same thing with time. If we find a piece of nature where civilisation or mankind's rowdy society hasn't disturbed it then time is not linear and our surroundings could very well be thousands of years ago.
