BUSH KITCHEN !

[99bugout]

Also you could build a ring of rocks around your fire, and at night roll the rocks under your bed site to keep you warm. just a thought.

[99bugout]

Are you not concerned about Bears? Cooking so close to your camp? It is suggested to cook your food at least 100 yards away. Your thoughts? Do you hang your food in a tree?

[bushcraftbartons]

@99bugout You are absolutely right....Anywhere where I am not familiar I will take every precaution necessary. Where I am right now I was not concerned because the bears where hibernating for the winter. Thanks

[99bugout]

@bushcraftbartons - Reply - That's a good point, during Bear Hibernation, one would be less likely to have a bear attack. I think I would be packing some heat anyway, Just in case.. Great Vids btw/ Looking forward to watching the rest of them. Great country up there.. Are you finding the winters becoming more mild? Less snow, etc? I have not even heard one airplane flying over on your vids.. Any chance to show more animals and wild life would be great. Have Fun!!

[robjloranger]

for some reason i can't stop watching, even though not much is happening lol thanks for the video. where are you in canada? i'm on the island. do you ever have bear trouble cooking where you sleep?

[bushcraftbartons]

@robjloranger Yes I am in Canada....Normally I would not eat where I sleep but where this shelter is situated there are no problems...thanks

[FacetsOfTruth]

@robjloranger The reason you kept watching when not much was going on, is because you were there with him in this amazing spot. LOL If you were like me, I was kind of 'going there in my mind'. Mainly because I just got off work and am sitting here in front of my computer instead of being out where there is life.

Thanks 'bushcraftbartons for helping us escape for awhile. God bless you my friend.

[dannysmith510]

thats not real

[robjloranger]

@dannysmith510 what's not real?

[solobushcraft1]

great shelter

[imthemommy1010]

hey man...nice video, but i was really worried you were gonna slice open your femoral artery when you were working with that knife..maybe not such a great example for the inexperienced? well done though, i have subscribed to your channel.

[SuperZkym]

Nice set up.. Original

[kskk9368]

Nice shelter, I think your video,s are very good. Are you in Canada ? Keep up the good work. I have subscribed to your site.

[bushcraftbartons]

@kskk9368 Thank you...yes I am in Canada..

[onebadboy2]

Spectacular setup man. Why didn't y just leave the camera going? Some of us wouldn't have ever left. :).

[bushcraftbartons]

@onebadboy2 Thank you very much :)

[Reggie2nobel]

Hey brother can you make a video on this shelter realy dig this Merry Christmass

[bushcraftbartons]

@Reggie2nobel Thanks....Got 2 vids on it called Winter Shelter..

[GingerGamer13]

I absolutely love your shelter!

[bushcraftbartons]

@GingerGamer13 Thanks...

[dexterlexter123]

how often do the bows on the walls last

[bushcraftbartons]

@dexterlexter123 Because it is winter they freeze up and stay nice all winter. They would need to be changed by early summer and again beore the winter.

[parumlupum]

Thank you, great video. Marcus.

[bushcraftbartons]

@parumlupum You are welcome Marcus...

[saradreaming]

Awesome kitchen Mike! Love how you have built all the comforts a person could ask for. I bet that can of Chef Boy R Bushcraft tasted like heaven with the subtle fragrance of spruce and camfire, and warmed the belly too. Thanks for letting us hang out with you! : )

[bushcraftbartons]

@saradreaming It certainly did Sara :) Certainly did :) Thank you....

[Reallybigmonkey1]

I think I could live for awhile in that set up, very nice. I always like what you build. Hope yall have a Merry Christmas Mike.

[bushcraftbartons]

@Reallybigmonkey1 Thank you Brother..Merry Christmas to you and Family as well...

[blahboy68]

I'm a new subscriber, and the furthest thing from a bushmaster. Every since I was a kid ( I'm in late 40's now)I always had the fascination of living out in the wild. Unfortunately I'm a big wuss to do so. lol I hate snakes, bugs and whatever else creepy crawlers. So I will live my life vicariously through you and your videos. Will you add a front part to your shelter so you can survive a few winter nights?? Will you film in the snow? Thank you for your videos. I'm a kid all over again!!

[bushcraftbartons]

@blahboy68 You are very welcome...Appreciate your support...

[pappyhighlife]

Mike, that set up is very much like the Chippewa kitchen we use in the lower 48. The Chippewa has two clay burners on one side. Instead of the tri-pod it uses 2 bi-pods. The design is very close. I to am a believer in the tri-pod stands a powerful configuration. Great vid.

[bushcraftbartons]

@pappyhighlife Thanks Pappy...Did not know about the Chippewa..Thanks for letting me know....

[werb1961]

nice setup ,but where is the backstop for a fire reflector,wouls increase the heat return to the shelter.

[bushcraftbartons]

@werb1961 You are right...but I do not put it because of camera shots :)

[TheWoodsmenJoe]

I wished I lived alittle closer to youwe would camp out and have a blast

[bushcraftbartons]

@TheWoodsmenJoe Absolutely Joe :)

[allenh60]

Enjoyed it with you. Thanks for sharing Bro.

[bushcraftbartons]

[bushcraftbartons]

@moorcamper Hey JAN...You did use that title before :) Dont be jealous now...I will save some for you next time :)

[Ggreenvideos]

Awesome vid brother :o) The new Camera is Smokin' hot! Your shelter area is lookin' so sweet too. You'll have to move in to it permanently...haha! You can even make a bed underneath for the pooch Sally :o) Awesome Kitchen :o) 

[bushcraftbartons]

@Ggreenvideos Absolutely agree with everything you said bro...thank you Rich :)

[TheWoodsmenJoe]

[bushcraftbartons]

@TheWoodsmenJoe Thanks Bro....lets see some vids now...I enjoy that series..

[Naturliebe]

What a fantastic shelter Mike. :o)

Optimally matched to the fireplace.

Rather, the fireplace is perfectly matched to the shelter. ;-) Great job my friend.

I love your ideas and your videos.

When the way was not so far....I would visit you.

You are really a great guy.

Christmas greetings to you and your wife.

Tito

ps. yea reeeaaal survival bush food....from the pasta tree :-D yummy

[bushcraftbartons]

@Naturliebe Thank you vey much Tito...If you come around my corner of the world some day...give me a ring :) A Merry Christmas to you and Family as well....

[dragonflyhiker]

very nice video Mike

[bushcraftbartons]

@dragonflyhiker Thank you...

[IHatchetJack]

Great looking shelter. I'd like to see it covered with snow.

[WanderleiSilva29]

@IHatchetJack id like to cover it with doodles..... i would love to just crap mold the entire shelter.

[IHatchetJack]

@WanderleiSilva29 Wow. I hope there's something lost in translation here.

[bushcraftbartons]

@IHatchetJack :)))

[bushcraftbartons]

@IHatchetJack Your wish is my command :) Coming soon my friend...

[IHatchetJack]

@bushcraftbartons Excellent!  Looking forward to it!

[Acollyt]

Very cool setup 

[bushcraftbartons]

@Acollyt Thank you...

[canesser1]

Chef Boyardee, worth the weight and the wait ;) Awesome camp, love the sound of the creek. How cold was it that day Mike? Amazed you don't have snow yet but no hurry I know, Just a few centimetres here in eastern Manitoba. Last year it was 23cm at this time!?

[bushcraftbartons]

@canesser1 Absolutely :) It was around the -8 C I guess...Got snow now but it might melt again...

[nedeljkomostar]

Nice one Mike :) 

[bushcraftbartons]

[TomsBackwoods]

Nice shelter and kitchen bro! thanks for posting!

[bushcraftbartons]

@TomsBackwoods You are very welcome Tom...Thanks...

[jloneill17]

Hey Mike, nice setup. is that a 3 day assault pack you are using? if so, where did you get it?  thanks man.

[bushcraftbartons]

@jloneill17 Its the Condor II from Maxpedition (Khaki)...Got it on ebay.

[ChristLikeness100]

Boy am I big time jealous of you;-) Nice munchies, Mike. I love lasagne and I love pasta:) Dunno about the spice, we haven't got that over here that I know of, but it didn't half look nice:) Great fire.

No Josie today :( Hope she's all right? Much love to you both, Jen

[bushcraftbartons]

@ChristLikeness100 Thank you Jen...love pasta as well :) Easy and simple and taste great...We are doing well...Appreciate your concern...Thank you very much.

[coyote238]

I like the Kitchen so much,I went out and built me one.:0)

[bushcraftbartons]

@coyote238 lol...good for you :)

[robertmccallum1]

That kitchen is cool . And I love them spices ....yummy ...lol

[bushcraftbartons]

@robertmccallum1 Thanks Robert :)

[hect0rplasmic]

Sometimes I wish I could click the Thumbs Up button several times for a video. Thanks, Mike.

[bushcraftbartons]

@hect0rplasmic That is very kind of you...Thank you..

[InTheSticks0001]

Nice looking shelter, and that kitchen could also be useful in Thailand.

[bushcraftbartons]

@InTheSticks0001 Thank you....are you in Thailand ?

[InTheSticks0001]

@bushcraftbartons thanks for asking. I've seen your vids from Haiti? Apart of a medical team? Not yet, getting rev'ed up. No certain date, but soon. Headed there to do several mechanical projects, developing resources and installing off-grid type of tech typically used in the third world and in this case to support a larger mission with orphaned kids. Will employ PV, ram pumps and for irrigation and potable water, bio-sand water filters, solar hot water heaters, etc

[mickeynatasa]

Is that a Condor II by Maxpedition? 9:17

[bushcraftbartons]

@mickeynatasa Exactly...good observation...

[karenchakey]

Nice vid, thanks so much for the "upclose" shoots of everything, I really appriciate that kind of video! and the food looks delish!

[bushcraftbartons]

@karenchakey Thank you Karen...appreciate your comment...

[stonybrokebushcraf]

mike that camp of yours ie kitchen and shelter is brilliant it has to be the best ive seen i would love a set up like that thank you my friend

[bushcraftbartons]

@stonybrokebushcraf Thank you Andy...Now lets see a kitchen set-up :)

[EconoChallenge]

Enjoyed spending this time with you.  Thanks Mike.

[bushcraftbartons]

@EconoChallenge Enjoyed having you Jeep....

[redwoodfox]

Nice shelter. Looks cozy

[bushcraftbartons]

@redwoodfox Thanks..

[dlvmark]

Nice video! Great spoon! I prefer rice mix. The best I found so far is Jambolia, I add jerky and any fish, fresh or dried. Man its like eating like a king! So good and it is alot smaller and lighter weight plus you can burn all the trach up, no can. Try some rice mix you will enjoy it so much you will want to send me some moose or deer meat! LOL. Any way I like your kitchen a lot. I have seen this b4 but they called it an Apache kitcken.

[bushcraftbartons]

@dlvmark Sounds good :) Had no idea this was called an Apache kitchen...thanks for letting me know...maybe I have some native blood in me I did not know about :)

[LiamMitts]

Hey,I woke up this morning feeling kind of down and watching you sit by that fire in a great covering made me smile.You never know what will help another human being.Thanks

[bushcraftbartons]

@LiamMitts Well you are very welcome....

[epetrie]

nice setup!

[bushcraftbartons]

@epetrie Thanks...

[lazydogdied]

That place is so nice, you could rent it out for the weekend! Great stuff!

[bushcraftbartons]

@lazydogdied Thank you :)

[FixedByDoc]

nice setup buddy. really cool shelter.

[bushcraftbartons]

@FixedByDoc Thanks Doc...

[medicjimr]

Looked like a great day in the bush like the birds beak notch, Looks like your kitchen tripod could support a reflector wall too. sweet set up. 

[bushcraftbartons]

@medicjimr Absolutely Jim...Excellent observation on the reflector. Well done.

[busycando]

Hey Mike,looks like your winter shelter is ready for a bushcraft winter,thanks for showing.

[bushcraftbartons]

@busycando Thanks Greg...it will be until we start getting too much snow and cant get to it anymore :(

[CiaranRooney125]

Really enjoyed that, brilliant shelter you've got buddy!

[bushcraftbartons]

@CiaranRooney125 Thank you....

[Woodenarrows]

Some real thought went into your kitchen Mike. Excellent setup and some really good points, not only on construction but usage too. Fire is such a wonderful thing when it’s under control. The hot meal, especially on a cool day, looked wonderful.  BTW, the nearby stream is a great audio backdrop.

[bushcraftbartons]

@Woodenarrows Thank you very much...I have to agree with that river...it was a little high as usual but nonetheless enjoyable. Thanks Tom...

[LivingHistorySchool]

And I thought I had too much time on my hands lol... :-) great shelter

[bushcraftbartons]

@LivingHistorySchool Thanks :)

[OakRidgePrimitives]

That is awesome! Really cool camp!

[bushcraftbartons]

@OakRidgePrimitives Thank you....

[TheTeaguzzler]

That's a nice addition to a GREAT shelter!

[bushcraftbartons]

@TheTeaguzzler Thank you very much...

[TheMojavegreen1]

Bushcraft Condo...L.O.L. You got it made. Thanks for sharing. Your vids are better than TV. Take care.

[bushcraftbartons]

@TheMojavegreen1 Bushcraft condo... Good one :) Thank you for your support...

[nchiker1971]

Awesome setup you've made. Perhaps you could consider giving classes during the week? I know a Pastors life is a busy one but at 2-300 a head for a 3-4 day class is totally worth it for the students & would help the ministry too... Anyway, just food for thought :)

[bushcraftbartons]

@nchiker1971 Thanks Eric....I have thought of doing that for a while now but as you said just out of time....will see in the future...thanks for the food for thought :) I will keep it there for a while :)

[BeepBeepBoing]

I could sit and listen to you all day and never get bored ... I dont get anything done, but I wouldnt get bored lol .... love your videos :)

[bushcraftbartons]

@BeepBeepBoing lol....that is nice of you to say...thanks....

[packthesack]

Great set up.

[bushcraftbartons]

@packthesack Thank you Mick..

[snaponjohn100]

Brother Mike, it is so nice to be able to share some time with you. I can't get out right now, but your video is so well done that I felt like I was right there. BTW I thought that you would have 3 or 4 feet of snow by now. :~)

God bless. John

P. S. still in pain, but getting a little better every day.

[bushcraftbartons]

@snaponjohn100 Thanks Brother....the snow comes and goes these days but will come to stay pretty soon....thanks for keeping me posted....my prayers are with you...get well soon John..

[MegaWitsend]

you should try leaving your food in the tin and boil it in water, that way you will have hot food and hot water for a brew/ washing

[bushcraftbartons]

@MegaWitsend Thanks....sounds good.....

[Waldhandwerk]

Super kitchen, Mike, great building ; ) Great pot hanger! Very good job. Thank you so much for sharing! Great fire und with your Chef, you will survive : )) Looks great, my friend. Enjoy! Happy Sunday, Sepp

[bushcraftbartons]

@Waldhandwerk I will survive :))) Got to love the survival chef Sepp :) Thank you so much my good friend....God bless you....

[cahoonu]

I think I could just about live in that shelter you have made, you did a great job.

Also, what is the jacket you are wearing, it looks pretty warm.

Thanks, once again for a great video.

[bushcraftbartons]

@cahoonu Thanks....My jacket is about 20 years old....I cant remember where I got it or who made it....the tags are gone as well...but yes it is a tough and pretty warm. I had bought this for hunting but use it now for just being in the woods.

[RDPproject]

yumm...im hungry now Mike.

...lol

Nice set up you have there mate.

[bushcraftbartons]

@RDPproject Thanks Mate :) I am happy I made you hungry :)

[upnorthof60]

I understand what you mean when you say " Bush Survival Food"... Awesome Video!!!!



[bushcraftbartons]

@upnorthof60 Thanks :))

[midmiwildcrafter]

love your videos makes me want to get out in the bush more

[bushcraftbartons]

@midmiwildcrafter That is nice to hear...thanks

[lars650]

Nice man! Have you already slept over there? :P it seems to be really nice!!

Greets ;)

[bushcraftbartons]

@lars650 Thanks......no not yet........running out of time :(

[NewbieCamper]

Another stellar video! Great kitchen setup, and appreciate all the 'hints & tips' to make it work. No doubt you're going to really miss this retreat if/when the snows get to deep for you there ... I know we will!. And thanks for the chuckle re showing off your bush cuisine ;-).

[bushcraftbartons]

@NewbieCamper Thank you :) Yes I certainly will miss the bush cuisine :) when that snow gets too high :) Appreciate your comment.....

[Prepare2Survive]

That tripod kitchen can also serve as a place to attach some horizontal wood that'll act as a fire reflector to push more heat into the shelter.

[bushcraftbartons]

@Prepare2Survive Absolutely......great observation

[FatDaddy4Fun]

Hey, GREAT job my friend. And I see your personal space is still personal = ) I don't ever get tired of watching your videos. In fact, there are about three people I llok forward to every night when I get on YT, and you are one of them. Love your vids. Waldhandwerk is one too. Thanks for another super vid, pal. Say "hello" to your squaw for me. She's always good in your vids. ~Wolf

[bushcraftbartons]

@FatDaddy4Fun lol...Thanks Wolf.....appreciate your support

[papamorpheus]

You have build a really great shelter and your "kitchen" ist a perfact add.

[bushcraftbartons]

@papamorpheus Thank you...

[steintanz]

I like your kitchen setup ... add a dishwasher and it'll be getting close to perfection. :o)

I see you also make your noodles in the kettle. I do that too - bon appetit!

[bushcraftbartons]

@steintanz Thanks Tim....Everything goes in that kettle :)
