@antpop1 Appreciate both your comments - thanks! And for your sub, again, thanks. Keep your adventures going. Enjoyed your Idaho campouts. Hope to see more on your channel - having "fun in the outdoors"!
A rain shelter built on the low side of a slope? And all that work for what? How long you planning on staying- just the day? Try taking an umbrella! Oh I forgot this is "surviving" isn't it.
@chas4551 Wow. You need to calm down. Maybe he did it for the fun of doing something, building something. The tree was already down so he saw a fun project out of it. No it isn't "surviving." It's giving yourself the experience of survival for fun & practice should you ever need to use it for a true survival scenario. Save yourself the stress...maybe you shouldn't watch these videos.
@antpop1 Maybe you should wind your neck in and mind your own business. Or are you lovers or something? "Maybe he did it for the fun of doing something, building something". Oh I see - he was out playing then?
Bought one,works good,better survival tool than a knife.That is why injin scouts and injins carried hawks and long knives. Hard to crack a nut with a saw. Thanks
@cutrite851 Thanks for watching and commenting, really appreciated. Sure do like mine too. I amazed that it can cut like a knife. Enjoy using your's out there!
@leeedward1117 Often thought of spending a few days there. The tree was a blown-down, fallen over from it's roots. And you're right, cutting down a tree is not permitted in a national forest. Thanks for commenting.
@1097411 Thanks for watching! I'm thinking of going back there in a few weeks. It will be all covered in snow. Curious to see how it held up. We'll see...
@bluetoad2001 Thank you for commenting. Unfortunately most of the dead fall in our forests are soaked wet and rotten. I lucked out coming across that recently felled tree. I'll bet your forests are very life giving.
nice video. I'd have chosen a quieter spot though, that stream is pretty noisy right there. Also it doesn't look comfortable to sleep in, needs a flat bed space
@jezzafox Haha - all my campsites are by creeks - I enjoy the music. This was a sit-up shelter. I actually camped overnight downstream at a flat spot with my hammock. Apreciate you watching and commenting, thanks.
This video introduced me to the ax. Research and other vids helped sell me on it. Waited until after my birthday just incase someone asked what i really wanted. They didn't, so I ordered mine asap afterwards. Just got it. Love it! Going camping in 2 1/2 weeks, and it's going with me.
@mtlyb I'm really touched by this - thank you! And, Happy Birthday mtlyb! Please let me know what camping chores you put your's through, and how it did. I must let you know though - I did the same as you - watched others before me with their axes, and they helped me make a choice. My YT friends deserve the credit for this one! I really do appreciate your kind words and again thank you for your comment, and watching!
Thanks for the trip. I really enjoyed this video tonight. I'm sitting on my front porch listening to the rain fall, and this silent video was just the thing for the moment.
Yeah, been lots of trees down out there with the rain and the wind. Don't get down just get out there. I swear I have had the last 5-6 weekends in a row with rain then Mon-Wed mostly sunny. ...but I'm not bitter I tell ya.
@oregonmikes You got that right - when the weekend rolls around non-stop rain. I took a few days off during the week a few weeks ago, non-stop rain. We'll laugh at this in August (I hope). Thanks for watching and commenting!
You got it. I'm glad I could share something with you. I don't take videos or even pics but I have a lot to share. Some people are very sensitive. I try to be helpful by pointing simple things out but most people get defensive in some way or another and miss the whole point I'm trying to show my appreciation for what they do and share little things, if understood, would help them make better decisions in the future.
Love these lone adventures into the woods. Nice little leanto and that log in front where you can build a fire to reflect the heat back is ideal. Thanks for the demonstration.
@rainbowhiker Same as you - I like to wander. I'm led by the sounds of falling water. The site for the leanto seemed completely ideal - nature made park bench facing the creek. Thanks for your comment.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. You find the nicest spots to make your videos. Just FYI, the ridgepole is usually placed behind the trees with the vertical poles and pine boughs leaning into the pole which then leans into the tree for more stability. You used mostly pine boughs so the weight on the pole wasn't that great. When the ridge pole is on the other side, it can handle more weight because it is supported by the trees.
@MrJoeyBoombotz Thank you very much for pointing this out to me. I understand now the error of my ways. All the stress is focused on the ropes verses having the trees handle most of it. A redo in my future - more fun! Please continue with your very helpful comments. Again, thanks!
@ez2curanut ...the palm trees are hidden in the back lot - haha! Nope, it's the wet and cloudy Olympic and Cascade mountains convergence zone. Hey, where's that DO video? You and Intenseangler are tortureous!
Your woods remind me of my woods back home in maine. They seemed "alright" until I moved away. Then they became so much more. This is a very peaceful video, thanks I really needed that.
@kookiemoose Thank you for this. I was really getting down these past few weeks over so much rain - thinking there's somewhere else? This weekend and this YT community has lifted me.
That looked like a fun shelter build Bill! GB axes are hands down the best - yours was made by the same smith as mine too :) If you're going to be out in that lovely rainy weather a lot, I'd get some boiled linseed onto the haft - it'll make the hickory last a lot longer.
That is a sharp axe. Are you more of an axe dude? Or depends with where you are going? Oh no ... you have a Bush Buddy? I am at risk if I continue to watch your videos!!! :) Good work on the shelter B!
@phr1sk37 I enjoy the options now and what mood strikes me. But yes - the longer hikes would make me rethink the hatchet option. LOL! Not a Bush Buddy - no risk in watching... Thanks A!
nice work, that axe makes quick work of things huh? sometimes it's nice to get back to the basics of it all and remember what it feels like to truly live in our natural realm...
Once again, a real nice video. Lovely place too. I have the GB small forest axe, a great piece but the woods are so rock hard here that most axes struggle a little.
@phrayzar Thank you! Hopefully my first use didn't cause too large a ripple with the axe community, haha! I Googled Australian hardwoods out of curiousity - you have some of the tallest and hardest in the world, and only in Australia...pretty amazing place too!
@dragonflyhiker Sounds like you've searched for them locally? It was big pill - I hear you - then shipping... you're right. I'm stuck the same way with the Bush Buddy. Someday too.
That's a nice axe. I'm looking at the small forest axe. I might go with the wetterlings though, regardless, watching your vid makes me want one even more. :)
@steintanz Really enjoyed my first use of this fine tool Tim and yes, more special projects with it are imagined - I can't wait! It's always wet around here - all the wood you saw around me is completely soaked or rotted from being always rain soaked. We all who live here around Seattle have webbed feet, "quack, quack!
Awesome!!!!!!! Nice work Bushcraft Bill :o)))))) A good axe made a great shelter! What a beautiful scene. Was that a Bush Buddy sitting on the ground? ;o)
@Ggreenvideos I'm catching the bushcraft bug - it's a great test of knowledge and skill - all thanks to many hours of YouTube buddies' videos sharing their's. Really enjoy using the hatchet. (Is a hatchet considered an axe)? No Bush Buddy in my camp buddy - not for a while - it's a DIY wood stove.
@biblesnbarbells Thanks you for coming along on my first use! GB calls it their Wildlife hatchet with a 14" handle, 1 lb head. Just the right packable size from me IMHO.
@TomsBackwoods Nothing like it is right on - I'm amazed at how sharp it is - never experienced such a sharp fine tool as this until now. (I've got a little carving project planned...) Thanks Tom!
I always enjoy "tagging along" with you in these gorgeous areas that you are so fortunate to spend time in... Looks like you had a great time out there, and got to put that new hatchet to work as well (very nice btw!). Always look forward to your videos... thanks for sharing this one Bill.
P.S. We really need to get Dave out more... he's gettin' a bad case of cabin fever! lol
@intenseangler You can tag along anytime - and I hope there's enough room in your boat for me. I know how Dave must be feeling, I was determined to get out rain or shine. I'll be right over for your Dutch Oven cooking - I'm a huge DO fan - a "master chef" with one on our family camp outs.
That is a beautiful and hellish sharp Axe. Keep her dry and and don't ever dig ground with it or hit the rock. Big dents are hard to scrape out while sharpening....
Stay well my friend.
Now I'm off to woods at 3 Degs Celsus with a heavy overcast huh... gotta collect some birch sap...
@nedeljkomostar I'm actually proud to own a fine tool like that and yes I will treat it respectfully. Keep warm Zoran and thanks for the care tips. How long a season does birch sap run?.
Hey, Nice! A day in the woods is better than...ANY day! Looks like you had some fun and got some exercise too. Is this a spot you can return to easily, sit back with tea and listen to the water? Save a spot on the log for me brother! Looks like my kind of place. Nice hatchet too. Obviously wouldn't carry it every trip for very useful tool. Good to see you out again.
@dmacken11 Yup, had some fun in the rain. You know me - enjoy the creeks. There's plenty of room for you "nut buddy" - that would be a good time, you'd enjoy it!
@redwoodfox It was a bit rainy but still fun to get out. That unfortunate tree actually rooted itself over the top of a large boulder. I was amazed it grew to the size it was. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Fun video. Really inspiring to get out there and have some fun in the outdoors! Now I can't wait for Spring!
