----------------------------
Date: September 2024
Day: 20°C (68°F)
Night: 10°C (50°F)
Hours of daylight = 14
Location: Scandinavia, west coast of Denmark - sea, spruce/pine and hardwood forrest. Some of the most remote in Denmark, but limited how remote it can get. A lot of birds and deers etc. No bears, only a few wolves.
_________________
Consuming: Water, coffee, fish (salmon), steak (pork), soup (onions, potato, garlic, bacon, chanterelle, cow cream), bread.
_________________
A few questions:
1. Who made the tarp?
Tschum in Germany. I am using an early prototype - here is the final version tschum.de/en/t...
2. What did you use for making fire?
Fatwood (dead pine wood full of resin) and ferro rod.
3. What type of axe are you using?
A classic russian axe design. Homemade - C45 steel, sheath and handle made from ash.
4. What type of knife are you using?
A classic nordic knife, offen referred to by the finnish name "Puukko". Homemade - spring steel and birch burl handle. Here is how I made it • Making nordic bushcraf...
5. Why use wood between the cord and tree (for setting up the tarp)?
Protects the tree. A canvas tarp is heavy and regular cord (like I am using in the video) will cut into the bark and no guarantee the tree will recover.
6. How long does it take to cook a steak over a fire like that?
2-3 hours.
7. How long does it take to cook bread on the coals like that?
5-10 minutes.
8. Why do you sometimes hit with the side of the axe instead of the poll?
Keeps the cutting edge away from your face and the larger surface area makes you less likely to miss. I usually use the side of the axe in the beginning (when things can be unstable and or I don't need to hit hard).
9. What is you're kuksa/drinking cop made from?
Birch burl. Homemade.
10. Can I buy an axe, knife etc. from you?
No.
11. Who made the cooking pot?
It is a modified 2L Pathfinder Bushpot. Only the handle is homemade.
12. Do you hunt?
No - all food is from a local store.
13. Any ticks in Denmark?
Yes - but I am lucky that ticks don't like me... so no problem for me.
14. Who made the wooden bowl?
Homemade - I made it in this video • 4 days solo bushcraft ...
15. Who made the eating spoon?
Homemade - I made it in this video • 4 days bushcraft trip ...
16. What was the gray you added in the pot before the flower then making the dough?
Yeast.
17. What do you do for a living?
Sometimes blacksmithing and sometimes youtube.
18. Will you make more blacksmithing videos?
Yes - but first will I be traveling for a few months making bushcraft.
19. Why did you're old cooking spoon brake?
Not sure - maybe I stepped on it or packed it poorly in the backpack. It lasted two years.
20. What sea/ocean is it?
North Sea. Straight across the water is England and Scotland.
21. What did you use on the boots?
Just something from a local store called "Kløver Vaseline"... Not sure how common it is outside Denmark. I usually use something called "Golden Quality"... But I believe all the mass produced options works just fine - just remember to put some effort into working it into the leather (rub it to make heat/friction).
22. What did you use for sharpening after the stone?
Leather and sharpening compound on a wooden stick.
23. How long was the trip?
The video shows 4 days of a longer trip. So far have the trip been one and a half month. Will stay out here for at least a few more months. I am traveling on a cargo bike (SCO Short John from 1960's) with tarp and tent.
24. Will future videos be 4k?
Maybe - I just upgraded my camera from a Nikon D7000 (2010) to a Nikon Z30 (2022) able to record 4K. Handlening 4K do though come with difficulties - so only maybe I consider it worth it... But regardless of 4K versus 1080, will the new camera in general improve the video quality.
25. What if I have a question that is not included in this video description?
Consider leaving a comment - I usually read all comments made within the first few days of a new uploade. If I don't see it - maybe someone else knows and is kind to answer. After the first few days do I update the video description with answer to some of the most asked questions.

The smiling man with the singing axe 🙌. Fabulous!

[@aguswartono3072]

I am glad that someone else also notice that he always smile. What a guy!

[@Hythyr]

I also love the singing axe!

[@OutdoorswThatGuy]

My thoughts on that ringing is there a flaw in the steel . When purchasing a hammer I always checked and took the one without that ringing sound . I could be wrong , just my opinion lol

[@WagnerM.]

​@@OutdoorswThatGuy No flaw here. It is all about the heat treatment and hardness of the steel. The blades of his axes are also very slender / thin, which allows them vibrating (singing) very easily.

[@OutdoorswThatGuy]

@WagnerM. Ahh OK , thank you for bit of info , like I said , I could be wrong but in this case close lol ✌️

[@supertr3mp]

39 minutes just for me and pure calmness in my head. Thank You so much for you’re uploads.

Я українець 3 рік на війні, дивлюсь по декілька разів бертрама і кайфую, це дуже допомогає на бойових виходах!!! Це потрібно показувати в школах нашим дітям, думаю з бертрама бувби класний вчитель,100 років йому життя!!!

[@dannysutherland4911]

I come home from a long work week, (I work midnights), get a few things done before heading to bed. Wake up around 5:00 pm or so and get my weekend tasks out of the way. My wife is usually heading to bed by the time I’m done of an evening. I fill a pipe with a favorite tobacco blend, pour myself a double-shot of some good ol’ Kentucky bourbon whiskey and kick back to some relaxing Bertram bush craft videos. Many thanks from Springport, Indiana. USA.

[@lackninja6602]

Schön das du wieder da bist mit deinen videos,Bertram! Immer wieder schön zu sehen mit welcher Ruhe und Können du die Aufgaben erfüllst die beim bushcraft so anfallen! Respekt dafür!! Gruß Hagen

Bertran, los años pasan y tus videos siguen siendo los mas lindos, transmiten paz y felicidad que necesita el mundo!!!

Who else is thinking Bertram was born thousands of years ago in the deep forests of Europe, and he's teaching us the basics.

[@danimulyadi9672]

I am...hehe

[@isabelleb.1270]

He liked your message... but I think he is just a good soul, trying to share his knowledge -and for me this already means a lot !

I've felt that vibe for years. It's like he's teaching us his skills from a past life.

“Oh wow, it’s such a relief and joy to finally see a video after 5 years! I hope you’re doing well. I spent a lot of time here in the past, especially when peace was hard to find before COVID.”

[@WagnerM.]

Hello Bertram, i bet you dont have an idea of which joy you bring us while watching you being outside in this beautiful nature. Mindfulness, awareness and inner peace is touching me then. You are a rock of sane in the surges of absurdity in this times. THANK YOU!🙏 Lovely greetings from the platinate forest, germany.👋🍀🌲🌳🍁 Manuel

My grandson and I are so happy you’re sharing your skills and nature with us once again. Thank you🏕️

Refreshing to watch true woodscraft/ bushcraft where tools are made and more than a simple overnight or gear review. You inspired me to get back to blacksmithing! Great videos! Cheers from canada

[@ursiemay]

So glad you're back. Bertram with the mysterious smile, as mysterious as nature herself. 🙏 for taking us along on your quiet journeys.

[@kennethwright7484]

Good to see you back. I'm just now eating my supper, got my flock bedded down, its been a long week. I haven't seen anyone for 3 or 4 weeks, but that's how I like it. The stew is good and my bread is just right. Im glad to see your putting out videos again, its great company on a quiet night. Folks need you to show them what a real life is all about. Look forward to seeing more from you soon, thanks for the company from an old shepherd, his dogs and his sheep, I sure appreciate it.

Awesome four days outing, always nice to see a vid from you. Calmness and tranquil until next time my friend 😊

[@BourneOutside]

COMPLAINT: Why has YT never put this mans videos on my feed until tonight? Not happy!... until I saw this man continually smiling throughout his video. He is living his best life and sharing it with us outdoorsy people. A brilliant video Mr. N. I shall be watching your other 95 videos now and thank you in advance for making them. That pork joint was mind blowing. The crackling looked amazing! If you didn't enjoy bushcraft etc, you could take up boxing. You have hands like shovels.

[@jansteini9612]

Entspannend und Spannend zugleich! Ich frage mich wie scharf Werkzeuge sein müssen um zu Singen 😍. Eine Freude zu sehen das Bertram weiter Videos macht

[@summonrain107]

Yes, I've been re-watching your old videos too many times!

Wo Bertram hinhaut, wächst kein Moos mehr. :) Immer schön, dich zu sehen, alter Vikinger.

You and Mr. Rogers were some of the first screen time my kids ever experienced back in 2020. It brought a good feeling today watching a new Bertram video together. We're grateful for your productions.

[@damagecase3370]

Love from Madrid, Spain, Bertram!! Your videos are my favourite!

[@terrym1065]

Excellent Bertram👍👍 Living life as intended, free and wild. Your camps are always just right, tarp or tent, hand made everything and void of the gimmicks normally seen. A breath of fresh air every time I see your videos. The fires, the food, the crafting and solitude spread the splendor of nature and peace. I wish you much health on your continuing journeys. Thanks for the trip, see you next time.

[@TheMarsyas79]

As always, it's been a great adventure. It is very nice that the videos are so frequent. Greetings...

[@arunkumaravalanchi3922]

Keep posting videos once a week is great bro ❤Looking forward to watching their videos 🔥

[@Comrade.I]

This distinct ringing of russian axe blade... Oh man, brings back all the old memories. Grandparent's house in countryside, household chores, working on the backyard and whatnot. An old axe and inept handling by a city boy visiting countryside only once or twice a year.

[@journeyman7189]

Simple camp simple food leads to an awesome experience. Thanks Nate

[@Carole-LDA]

Your videos are as far as I'll ever get to sharp knives and axes such as yours (I'd have lost a few fingers by now), but I love them. I always have a lovely trip travelling with you.Thank you 🙌🙌

[@TheSuperEverests]

What i love about thisguys videos is that in this world we live in, nothing has any intrensic value..everything is disposable, people use it once and dump it, because they have been taught to be lazy...but everything to this guy is forever, everything has a purpose and is sharpened, polished, cleaned dried and cherished...i remem er in the 60s when i was poor... life was like this...im a man out of my time ,,,like him.

When you cooked that salmon over those coals, it looked so good. I kept imagining you covering that salmon in 🫒 oil and salt. That would’ve been 😋😋😋.
