Set for the Night (1of 9)

[bikenutter1]

I'm in that same place now as you were in 2008. It was encouraging to see you feel that time outdoors can help, I was thinking the same thing. Good luck fellow bushcrafter. S, from UK.

[Colhane]

@bikenutter1 I was totally beat up at that time and getting out to clear my head was the best thing I could have done. You can really see it in the video "Coffee and Confession". I didn't realize how much stress I had been under until later. Thankfully it all turned out well in the end, we're back in Brazil doing what we love and learning to pace ourselves a bit better.

[shinzu4001]

Excellent video. Do you cover the fist estimation technique in later videos? How does it work? It seems as though you are "sitting" your fist on the horizon line and counting upwards...

[canesser1]

Amen! Nothing like some time of fellowship with the Lord all alone to bind up those wounds. Priceless.

[plutoplatters]

sick of people ?? whattt ??? LOLLLLLLLL....

[str8out]

I really love these vids, I just hate the sound of those flying insects. It makes me uneasy lol.

[RonRay]

I'm glad to see you uploaded the video of your solo sojourn. (been waiting months for this!) Wish I had known sooner, but it's like a Star Trek episode you missed; it's never out of date.

Anyway, thanks for posting. (On to vid #2!)

[Rick2Max]

How far was the hike in?

[iBucalov]

Great vid!!! thanks!

[mistwalker13]

Cool video. Man do I understand the "had it with people" statement lol, time a lone in the bush does wonders for the soul!

[muiraquita176]

Muito apropriado o local escolhido para passar a noite.

Percebo em seus vídeos a presença quase que constante dos facões.

Sou nascido em Minas Gerais e não dispenso um bom facão quando vou

para o mato. Apreciei muito suas dicas sobre afiação de facões.

Certamente você e o Giuliano terão muitos videos para postar no you tube.

Um grande abraço brother !

Good Info- Great idea smoothin' out the ground. !

@SECRETBOL

I'm 44, I bring my own lumps with me now.

[USNERDOC]

Excellent! Looking froward to the rest of the series.

[1OldSchool4]

I've been waiting and hoping you would get around to this ever since I watched the Solo Survival trailer. I've watched the trailer countless times. Thanks for taking the time to post these. I'm looking forward to the rest. Inspiring videos.

[bushcraftbartons]

Dave...nice to see you in the bush Brother! Its the place to be,,,,,,

[willardthegrey]

I'm very eager to see the rest of the videos. Thank you for sharing a hard time in your life.

[darthwelt]

Very nice video, thank you for sharing.

[MrBillTroop73]

GREAT to see you again!

[medicjimr]

Glad you were able to clear your head and reset the soul thanks for sharing

[faolbushcraft]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts surrounding this series, Pict.  Good video as well.

[bearpatch1]

Mr Dave, one fine video and demo. i thank you for your time and talent.

look forward to follow up videos. 5/5*, thanks,---JC

[calld2serve]

Brother let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in Brazil. I mean that. If I can help I will. May the love of the Father bless you and cover you.

[irishguy80]

Love your vids. im glad you uploaded it

[swiftjeff]

Do I hear bees?

[Colhane]

@swiftjeff

I talk about them later in the series so stay tuned...

[spr00sem00se]

is it you that uses an air rifle tin as an alcohol stove?

[Colhane]

@spr00sem00se

Yes I do. Its in my "Shelter Cooking" video. It was originally a Gamo pellet can.

[spr00sem00se]

@Colhane well i tried it after seeing it on here and i have to say it worked a treat, and fits nicely in the pocket on my canteen pouch, exactly what i was looking for,

but i hate gamo,

i had surgery on weds night because my gamo pistol misfired due to a mishaped pellet, a pellet which ended up in the palm of my hand,

but you live and learn

[giutoniolo]

It was about time for the whole footage to come out of your computer Mac!! I cant wait to see the whole thing! I myself must have seen the shorter video over twenty times before you got back to Brazil!! Im really glad you made up your mind about putting them on! Thanks brother!

[Colhane]

@giutoniolo

Now that I know this isn't the last of my videos from Brazil it didn't make sense to hang onto them. Much more to come...

[tfisher808]

I really understand your solo concept....."Had it with people"

[CTOL1]

Thank you for sharing this

[Diatonic135]

colhane

i really enjoyed this segment!

[camochannel1]

sleep well, and good luck to you my friend.

[Brandtalones]

"I can feel the isolation workin' on me right now. Feels great..." translates directly to "Where is the heck is that cold longneck?" and "It's about time to turn down my sheets." Har!

[bassfuryvi]

Thanks for sharing..was this the space mentioned a few weeks ago?

[taboy81]

ótimo video Mac, aguardo ansioso pelos outros e você me inspirou a sair da cidade um pouco e passar uma noite no cerrado aqui de Brasília.

abraço!

[JustTheJoel]

Good vid sir. I totally empathize about getting away on your own. Thanks for sharing.

[beast12101]

"recharge the batteries" is what i call it. it does wonders

[wildernesswikiup14]

now when you sleep do you have to worry about ants or bugs because your in the jungle? looks good great vid

[Colhane]

@wildernesswikiup14

Yes, you do have to worry. I was using a bivy bag so if it got really bad I could zip closed. This wasn't jungle. I would never sleep on the ground in the Mata Atlantica. This was a small forest in the middle of Cerrado, open scrub country, so the ground wasn't as full of life as in the jungle.

[wildernesswikiup14]

@Colhane oh ok. i've got zero experience in south american forests. and the fire would drive some bugs off as well?

[mz9393mz]

I love Ouro Preto. Only been there once, though. Thanks for posting this and writing the comment above.

[Edzherenow99]

Awesome! You have no idea how I've been looking forward to this. I remeber way back seeing your "intro" clip and wondering when, where and how I could view the rest. thanks!

[Colhane]

@Edzherenow99

Many people have asked me to upload this in segments. I hope it was worth the wait.
