9° Winter Camping in the Mountains | Sleeping in a Bushcraft Shelter

[@Tmmsmjfjjf]

I’m African American and you make me want to experience and enjoy outdoors it looks so peaceful ! Love your channel bro keep going 💪🏾💯

[@VargasandLaRueChannel]

What? You never camp? I hope you get to do it and enjoy.

[@sharicamonet9675]

@@VargasandLaRueChannelA lot of us never get to experience this. Idk if it’s socioeconomic or just cultural, but I love watching people document their camping trips and give survivalist tips. Looks fun and I hope to experience it one day.

[@VargasandLaRueChannel]

@@sharicamonet9675 it is fun but since I have lived in a forest type area for the past 22 years, my friends come and camp here at my house. Instead of staying in my house they pitch a tent. At least they have a bathroom right? But real camping means a bucket for toilet lol or I personally would rather use the ground. Tmi? The reality of camping is fun but that's that part I don't like.

[@sharicamonet9675]

@@VargasandLaRueChannel I totally agree! True camping is a poo and pee bucket, maybe even a hole. I mean you have your necessities of course…. But just the fresh air and a beautiful scenery, I can’t even imagine. But that is nice of you to open you home to friends. I would Definitely take that option over the bucket😁😁😁 I wish you many, amazing, camping trips!

[@VargasandLaRueChannel]

@@sharicamonet9675 thank you. Have a good weekend

[@tiffanyhunter7059]

As an African American woman, I don’t believe it’s thought that many of us would love to learn and possibly live a life away from all the hustle and bustle. However the older I get and the more I value the small things that the earth offers us that make a huge impact, the more my thoughts lean to a life like this one. Many blessings to you!!

[@WILDBOYRiL]

Thank you Tiffany

It has been an agenda to keep Indigenous people from walking the Earth Naturally the way our Ancestors did. I walk the Earth in my complete authority and the Earth has given me Great Protection for doing so. Never fear your land. Momma Earth got your back now not theirs that have violently taken what is Not theirs. Walk in Pure Joy.

[@PYRONATIONUSA]

You will be amazing how much doing this for a weekend will re-energize you..... I grew up in the country... then moved to go to school and stayed in the city.... 25 years later moved back to the country and let me tell you... life for me feels normal again

[@ToJMejon]

You are not African American, you are Hebrew according to Negroland Kingdom of Judah. Don’t get Stockholm syndrome. They still ain’t give us reparations for the slavery they put us through. Africans are Gentiles. You are a Hebrew. A separate people. Africans look at you different because you are different. Moses, Joseph, and Paul the apostle were mistaken as Egyptian’s (modern day, Africans).

[@mikaelhgn1]

The only way to learn is to do, I’m in that process right now let me tell you nights outside are beautiful

[@latoyas94]

I have spent every single night & 1000‘s of hours for at least 5 years watching/falling asleep to bushcraft videos (crazy I know, but I find comfort in it). My eyes literally lit up when I saw a black man bushcraft channel! THANK YOU! Love the videos so New Subscriber here! 🎉

I’ve watched and followed bushcraft channels for years and the stupid YT algorithm has never once suggested your channel, not sure why but I have my suspicions! Glad I found you though, I really enjoyed your video and look forward to seeing more! It’s nice to see someone of color enjoying this lifestyle, I don’t see enough representation and feel some people are missing out on what nature has to offer. All the best to you sir, from a new subscriber!

I hate it when people say color has nothing to do with it. We have been marginalized all our lives and excluded and not referred to for business because of color and they say stuff like that.

[@awakingmind5251]

Dear Wild Boy Ril I always enjoy watching the outdoors survival camping videos, and I especially enjoy seeing one of my own go out there setting up camp in the wild, do your thing main. I unfortunately, have been of late frustrated to see you set up those small cramped T shelters, when you have timer and the ability to do so much more. I am glad to see that you've began building a shelter for your fire 🔥 so that when it rains or snows your fire won't go out and you can stay warm. I know that there's a lot of struggle that goes with going survival camping, but also at some point there should be some comfront at the as a reward. I especially disappointed to hear that you were unprepared and went out there in the wild without your pancake mix 🤨 so sad. 😄😄😄😆😆😆😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 All and all, I enjoy your videos. Keep it up, but get it together bro. 😄😄😄😆😆😆😂😂😂🤣😂😂

[@lorned.shieldssr.2684]

I envy you. Ever since I joined the military, I found that I have a love for camping. I have gone a couple of times, but I have never been bush krafting. Continue to enjoy your life!

[@scottpayne7575]

Keep up the good work!!! The Black community is under represented in this survival/camping video genre and you are a teacher and example. Loved it!!

[@cecemeadows8117]

I love to see how you are very knowledgeable, industrious and a black man! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us! Not enough of us know these type of skills anymore or think we don't need them. But these skills are PRICELESS.👍🏽💪🏽 Blessings to you, my brother.💗🙏🏽

Hats off to you my man. That is cold friggin weather to be sleeping out in the yard. Glad to see you’re sportin a pistol. I’m a relatively fit 65 year old man with 28 years martial arts training and I would no more go out in the woods and spend the night without a firearm than, well than I would go to church or to work without one. I’ve never understood the “ it won’t happen to me”mentality of way to many people who place themselves at the mercy of predators and cross their fingers and hope for the best. Good video.

Great job. You always present your information in a clear and honest manner. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences. Just wanted to add, I see several comments about you being a man of color and the lack of representation and enjoying the outdoors. On my last camping trip, there was a black family camping close by. At one point the Mom commented I was probably surprised to see them camping. I thought she meant because it was during the school year. LOL I never considered it was a cultural thing. It was obvious they camped a lot, their children all had jobs they were responsible for and were a joy to have as camping neighbors. They homeschooled their children so they camped a lot. Anyway, keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.

I recommend for future winter projects those little hand warmers that crack open for a couple hours of heat. 🧊 ❄️ I use them on the 4wheelers and winter camping myself. Hands get so cold. 🥶 A couple those in the gloves and coat until you get settled in and while you sleep can be so nice. I get mines at the dollar tree. 👍

[@gcruishank9663]

I'm in BC, Canada and have done full-on solo winter camping with my dog, once and it was a heck of an experience. Used a pulk to haul all my gear (brought too much stuff) into the woods and set up my hot tent. Got down to -18C at night but stayed warm in a good sleep system. Beautiful area you found, great drone footage. Would love to know which drone you use? I'm going to do at least 3 trips this fall/winter, maybe use a snowmobile this time in February to get me set up on a secluded lake and do some ice-fishing in my Russian Bear tent. Can't wati!! I always bring a shorty shotgun with me for protection, as well as bear spray and a marine flare, attached to the end of a long walking pole. Do you use a firearm? Keep making great vids!
