4 Days Bushcraft Trip - Arrival of Winter

A friend gave me access to roam his land and do what I like. And I was surprised to see its an old forest with huge spruce trees that are hundreds of years old, in combination with beech, ash, hazel etc. It stretches down, bordering to a beautiful river. I will return making more serious builds there this winter.
Classic Swedwoods content this time around.. and what a blast to see the white stuff again (if only a glimpse). I have waited so long for the cold to return.
I demonstrate some tips and tricks I thought about lately in this video. Do my favorite soup. Also: three different ways to make fire. November is the hardest month to make a fire so I simply had to go to another method when the first failed. Very important to know different ways when you are not in your own woods in the worst fire making month of the year. Match, lighter and Ferro rod. And to all those internet commandos criticizing a bic lighter in the woods... I will not waste time talking about it and you will be instantly blocked.

I am currently playing this music to assist a little young person go to sleep. This young person has been through so much trauma as a child and night time is a trigger. This music has helped her so much and really helps her see there are safe adults in this world. Thank you for such beautiful music. You are helping so many without even realising. Blessings, love and light to everyone who comes across this text

516,000 people are very happy that you make such great videos. I am just one of them. You always make me feel better and inspire me to go out and remember what is important in life. You always say thank you for watching,...a huge thank you back for making and sharing. I'm getting a gransfors axe for christmas as like a lot of subscribers we love copying and learning from what you do. Jag kämpar fortfarande med att göra en gaffel av trä men mitt fiske blir bättre.

Personally, I'm a Bic lighter camping grandma...can't rub two sticks together, and shoot sparks everywhere with a Ferro rod. Matches are ok but if it's windy they're pretty much useless too so give me a lighter anytime. 🙂 Love your videos.

[@Swedwoods]

Thanks!

[@JAMADRIDOUTDOOR]

There are many Bushcraft channels on KZbin, but only a few that know how to enjoy what they do and show that passion to people. Your channel is one of those few. Thank you very much for sharing and hugs from Spain

[@Swedwoods]

Thanks a lot my friend!

[@TeacherSBD]

I love your videos without music or talking, the natural sounds and noises are just great, they make us feel like being there in the woods with you!

[@Swedwoods]

Thank you that is the goal!

[@YankeeWoodcraft]

Yeah! I love it when he doesn't talk too!!!

[@eventsotherthingswithchris9019]

@@Swedwoods Hi, put up a question as to KZbin possibly throttling your videos if you show cooking the fish you catch? I mentioned how on other things I watch, YT doesn't seem to have a prob with the content maker catching, cleaning & cooking their fish ( It was Greg Ovens on his YT channel the other day & fish involved was cod?) I thought around 44:53 ish there was a gunshot mixed in with you breaking that branch & was wondering if someone might've been hunting out there during that same time frame? Anyway, cool stuff as always!

[@hdstrm6890]

It's nice to see you come back to that flaked off rock every once in a while! It looks to be the best fire place!

Really you do know how to light a woodfire, man! The most i like and enjoy is to see how its growing up from the beginning using different techniques almost in real time and no tricks, thank you very much to share it!

Thank you my friend!

[@tomeneru]

The Japanese sauce is the decisive factor! 😊👌

[@notquiteultralight1701]

As always sir, this was another bushcraft masterpiece! Thank you so much for feeding our soul. I got a chuckle out of the description. For backpacking trips, standard fire starting tools are two bic lighters, wooden matches in a pill bottle with striker paper taped on the top of the pill bottle and a 4” ferro rod and striker. 😄 I figure when that’s too heavy to carry into the backcountry then i need to start going to the gym more often😁. Thank you again Swedwoods. Take care. NQU

[@Swedwoods]

Thank you!

[@timothyhines7845]

I love the set up, but it'd take me four days to find poles that long. LOL luckily I can improvise using the oaks, cedar, or mesquite that are the prevalent trees on my property and for a hundred mile in any direction. But it has to be dead winter to carry anything but jerky for more than a day in Texas. The temps even then can get to 50F so you really have to plan or carry preserved meats if you're going to eat "fancy". I usually just hit a couple squirrels. A litte salt, pepper, and lemon juice from a restaurant pack with a decent little cook fire and dinner is served.

[@TheScoundrel70]

What a great trip! I still think that tripod setup for tarp shelters is fantastic. It does so many things! I laughed at your well done editing of the camera falling transitioning to a log dropping. Very clever 😀 Thank you for the recipes, I will definitely give them a try! Cheers! 🇨🇦

Hello my friend. Just have to say that your bushcraft videos are undeniably the best that are out there regardless on which platform they are on. The food cooking was superb. Question for you is do you use oak or maple when you are roasting your meat 🍖. Thanks again for all your hard work. ATB Mike

Commandos...hahaha, you tell em Swed brother. I detest those "you're doing it wrong" types, like they're experts or something..yeah right. I like watching someone who actually knows what the hell they're doing, makes my experience so much more pleasurable. This is a great video from all angles, from tips and tricks to seeing some nice pike being caught. So much forest and not a mountain in sight, must be a arctic Swedish thing. If there's forest here, mountains are also. Everything expected was in this one, bushcraft, camping and chores, fires, cooking delicious meals, leaving no trace and all done expertly. Thanks for the work bringing me along, well done. See ya next time.

[@Swedwoods]

Thank you my friend!

[@ryanwheeling9865]

[@Spockfucious]

Great video as always. Interesting to see you using a bushcraft knife. While they have their place, I still think the old style green river or old hickory style knives hold their own for bushcraft. Same is true of the Kephart and Nessmuk styles. They are not very thick and while people are always afraid they will break, they excel at bushcraft chores. I’ve seen videos of a guy processing wood with a very thin green river knife. You would think that it would snap from battening but it held up really well. That soup looked great 👍👍👍.

[@Swedwoods]

Yeah agree. I mostly use thin small knives. Thanks!

[@johnstott140]

Hi, yet another brilliant video. I so envy you " the nature" and the vast tracks of wild and empty land. We are so regulated and controlled here in the UK. The wild should be for everyone to enjoy not just the wealthy few. Can I suggest that you take a look at the luminiser thermoelectric lantern. Not only do you get the nice glow of a flame but when you want you can get the flood and spotlight from LEDs which you can actually see to do something. They use a lot lot less oil, they are lighter than a hurricane light and a lot less messy. Also try putting a very thin coat of clear gorilla glue on the skin of your reindeer skin. This works brilliantly in keep it dry and stopping it soaking up water, it also stops mildew from attacking the skin and from making it smell. I have found that two thin coats is best as it totally seals the hide. All the best and hope to one day get to visit your beautiful country before I get to old . Cheers John

[@Swedwoods]

Thanks! Got several very expensive led lights in my camera gear. Enough is enough. My rein deer skin is silicon treated.

[@anurag92223]

Hi, i never usually comment on videos, but today I am, to express my gratittude to your art. Dear Swedwoods, I am a student working on my masters thesis since the last month. Its a high stake job for me, my family and my career. I have been suffereing from anxiety and depression since the pandemic hit us all. I was alone in a foreign country stuck in isolation and sadness. I have great friends mind you but due to contact regulations it was brutal for me to use online methods to convers with my support system. I missed the warmth of their hugs, kisses and cuddles. The darkness was like a long night spanning two years. Eventually with the help of kind and caring university health proffesionals I was helped with medications and was suprisingly but very obviously diagnosed with ADHD. This finally answerd a lot of my questions reagarding my demeanor since childhood. I learned a lot about my self. Then in the middle of my two years of darkness I found your channel and it helped my just stay alive and going, so the daily simple but emmencely depressing chores like showering, eating food. A months long marathon of your videos kept my body alive and my mind surviving. It helped my understand silence, simplicity and the value of calmness. Currently, I still have anxiety issues and ADHD behaviours but just working with one of your episodes playing in the background keeps me going. I would say the beautify calmness of your channel has and will continue to be my personal guide to meditation. I am sure I resonate the regards of many others on this channel. A heartfelt ´tack´ to you. God speed and may you live long and prosper :D
