@skunkifunkii Cheers, You are right about the tree, it was too close, We thought it would be fine & it suited our needs where it was... but later on the wind had other plans! We banked a rock under & up against the tree to protect it, it worked, the tree lives on.
I have never felt too comfy in a hammock, Wes likes em though, might get one for summer & give it a real test out, see if I can get used to it.
hi were abouts did you camp, i like them woods there, great place to camp, do you a a peak district walking map, how do you no were to go cos you may trespass ? dan
@danwormald Hi Dan, its near Hope in Derbyshire, I do have a map.. & Dan, we are no doubt trespassing on someone's, somewhere property, I didn't damage it & returned it as new. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.
grate video man loved it all the way lol i camp just the same way dont no what the guy who left the first coment was on about he needs to look up bushcraft evey good bushcrafter cleans hes/her camp to leav no trace i.e no sine of fire and no litter . good job lads .
p.s were in the Peak district did tou go as it looks like a good trip and would love to try get my mates out in that enviroment as thay only want to stay local . if u can inbox me were you was that wud be good thanks man
@binnsy511 Hi, thanks, there is a clue to the area at 6.40 in the vid, there are many places to camp around these areas, have a good time, the views are stunning.
Don't know wether to go Dartmoor or Peak district any suggestions? and for those who haven't seen the film "Into the Wild" check it out!! Noticed the songs in this video were from the film
@twighiker If you are a 'wild camper' what ever that means? You would have noticed that the tree WAS dead standing, there isn't plenty of dry wood in these tightly packed pine forests as they dont get much sun near the forest floor.
The fire was on rolled back turf, I would struggle to find the exact spot, never mind yourself.
Look up, I aint no cave man, I have a nylon tent, steel, gortex & boil in the bag, I'm enjoying my time away from a city, not pretending to be from a time I am not.
Fairy nuff, but i know there's plenty of dead low branches in there, that's what i'd have used, the axe marked stump is a dead give away btw, but we live and learn. ; )
Not having a go at you at all, really enjoyed your vid and it's great that your out there doing it, i'm just an over critical c u nt. : )
Dude, I had a cringe moment there, use the back of your knife to spark from a firesteel, not the cutting edge. Looks like a good knife too, look after it . :-)
@jonnyfoto1 Hi, It works better using the edge & I dont cut myself accidentally this way, it is a good knife & I've never damaged the edge using it like this up to now... nor my budget pocket knife, makes em a little sooty but that's about it, it is a tool after all & I use it outdoors, if its a warm fire quick or 5 more minutes of sharpening I go for the sharpening every time :)
I would hardly say chopping a tree down is low footprint, and having a great big fire to go along with it, leave no trace, means leave only footprints.
@glove159 Thanks for your concern but I think you misunderstand what I am doing here, no where here have I said anything about leaving 'no trace' or 'low footprint' I am camping away from the city, not an eco warrior with stone tools clad in animal skins out to save the planet.
The tree was dead standing by the way & we roll the turf back when we have fires out of courtesy for others.
nice vid mate. only comment is you build your fire too close to that tree. have to ever thought about using a hammock. again nice vid

That was one hell of a widow maker when the tree fell, great vid. And I dont give a rat's ass that you cut that tree, or made the bid fire
cdipaolo1996 11 months ago
As a wild camper i really was enjoying the video, till you chopped the tree down, WTF is that about. ?
There's plenty of fallen and dead standing wood in that woodland. !
Also, why light an open fire, you scarred the floor and left an obvious trace for the warden or land owner.
Look up take only pictures, leave only footprints. ; )
