Building a Long-term Camp in the Canadian Wilderness | FULL DOCUMENTARY - Camp Firlend

Watch my latest camping video here:
• Solo Camping in Deep S...
----------------------------------------------
This video is a full hour long documentary of I and Marie's adventure building our long-term bushcraft camp, camp Firlend. Follow us as we go through our 9 part building series of the camp, all packed into one video. Also included are some never before seen failed footage including extras that had been cut, and even failed entries. Along with the addition of extra information explaining what we did and why we did it, not shown in the separate entries in the series. So relax, and enjoy the documentary.
Sadly I wasn't able to include entry 10, the final entry in the series, mainly because it is nearly another hour long, but also due to the fact that it wasn't us building. I wanted to keep this documentary only on the building of our camp, from start to finish.

This is absolutely my favorite bushcraft youtuber. Being able to enjoy my hobby by watching someone else experience it when I’m unable to actually venture out and do it myself because life gets in the way, it’s relaxing 😌

[@Squidda-xl9zd]

Im the exact same!! I have areas where i could possibly do a similar type of thing but i just havent got the time to actually go out and do it! Life ey! Our day will come eventually😅

[@rickhoff3558]

Love how peaceful your vids are with no music or talking just hand tools and nature. You are a blessed couple.

[@wituikbws]

Thanks! I really aim for that well editing them

[@anonymouse7095]

Nicholas Wituik They broke up a week ago.

[@abigail3383]

i've watched a ton of bush-craft videos and this channel who i only discovered tonight has fast-fowarded to one of my favourites. i love these videos because they bring me a sense of peace and at one with nature, i think the silence also adds to that and the rustic precision the guy in this shows, he's so meticulous about everything and it's very satisfying.

[@wituikbws]

Did you guys enjoy the documentary? Lots of work was put into it!

[@VE3FAL1Fred]

Nicholas, great compilation for sure. I had watched most of your build but missed out on some from November on, I have to say that is one kick a$$ fire reflector, how does it work ? Pretty breezy it seems, I like all the cedar you have to work with, for me loads of spruce and balsam.....very nice shelter guys and hope you can spend as much time as possible out there. Cheers from Thunder Bay,Ontario....Fred , OntarioNorthwest Bushcrafter and Outdoors

[@EdgewoodOutdoors]

Hey Nicholas, yes the quality of your videos is amazing. Very easy to watch, and I appreciate the amount of work that goes into this. I know I like it for sure!

[@donaldhofman296]

Yes, I enjoyed the documentary immensely, words are not always necessary if you can see what is being done!

[@wituikbws]

Thank you :). My idea for the fire reflector was pretty much just a normal one but with 2 extra walls to help keep out wind and reflect a bit more heat back towards the fire and us. It's nothing too special! The cedar is pretty nice, the stream beside us had a absolute ton of dead trees which really helped out. Didn't have to go far for wood! Thanks for the comment!

[@wituikbws]

Thank you!!!

[@victorsutpheniii3374]

Only 9 minutes into this and SO glad to finally see someone debarking all the trees they build with so the structures are actually long term. Versus leaving the bark on and letting the wood rot eventually. Back to the regularly scheduled program.........................

Really cool to see couples out there doing things together. Definitely you could see she was maybe bored or something. But never complained kept going and you could see she enjoyed it more and more as it went. Awesome guys!!

[@World-as-i-c-it]

Don’t understand why people can’t just watch and enjoy someone’s else’s methods rather then critiquing every move. I don’t think this couple was asking how someone else might approach the task. Good vid!

[@wituikbws]

I'm not really sure. There are a lot of "experts" out there. I was asking for feedback though as I know I'm not an expert. Even just looking back on this video a year later, I genuinely cringe at some of the things I do hahah. They're all things I've learnt from thankfully

[@World-as-i-c-it]

Sorry, not my place to defend you. Just tired of the people who are “experts” at everything they see on KZbin.

Nice Shelter guys I love watching this sort of stuff before I go to sleep so I can snuggle up and pretend I’m in there

Thanks, sounds like fun :)

[@howieb38]

I can't believe I watched the whole thing. I come from a video background and I know how much work setting up each shot, then editing it together. Excellent job!! Hope it withstands the winter.

[@wituikbws]

I'm happy you did! It can be a pain in the ass sometimes bringing the camera along, especially in the video where we hiked a mountain in the Rockies. Thanks though! It withstanded it quite well. It was holding up around 500lbs of snow (our guess) at one point :)

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

@@wituikbws I appreciate the work & skill in your videos, as I have also built, with help, shelters in the Canadian woods but without the extra work of filming. In my experience the blue tarps that you are using last one winter, maybe 1 1/2 years exposed to the elements. They will start to leak and shred even before this if left in the sun, wind, etc. I still have not found a cheap, waterproof & windproof cover for cabin roofs, "A" frame shelters or lean-to's.

[@juliacoombs5441]

Good job. Reminds me of the improvised shelters us in the Canadian Infantry use to make in the Rockies, when we exercised there.

[@wituikbws]

Thanks!

[@tomwillard3927]

And here I am watching 2years later..👍👍. I appreciate all your hard work.thanks..

[@NateBuker]

Lots to love about this! Great build, love the precision and especially the birch bark walls. That's gotta be the biggest fire reflector I've ever seen! Oh and I love the silent treatment, always have.

[@wituikbws]

Thank you, the birch bark walls were one of the harder things to do on the shelter, but worked out pretty good. The fire reflector ahah yeah it's pretty big :)

[@TAOutdoors]

You have done a fantastic job here man. Your scenery looks incredible. Keep up the great videos 👍🏻

[@wituikbws]

Thanks! It really is out there, there's this one mountain I've been dying to get on film, but you can't see it from the camp sadly. I'll sure try though. You keep them up to!

[@sm3296]

Lovely to watch and listen to, it brought back many wonderful memories for me of living in BC, where I built a wood cabin in the middle of nowhere and was very hands on. Peeling bark, hauling water from the creek up the mountain, building forms in the snowstorm, painting tar, staining boards, hammering, all done with The sounds as accompaniment and often insect bites and the threat of bears and surrounded by coyotes. Sure wish I'd thought to film it but we just didn't do that then. Anyway, good luck to you both, enjoy these wonderful times together. X

[@wituikbws]

Thanks for watching! Sounds like a dream come true to me :)

[@OutandAboutwithTrev]

47:34 my favorite part - I just came back from a snow trip up in the Mountains of Victoria, Australia and used to live nearby them. I really like your camp and was great to see that it was able to handle the snow. The white scene is awesome. Well done and I like your documentary. Can see that you both love the bush as well...cheers.

[@wituikbws]

Winter was my favourite part as well, I find it's solitude relaxing, even when I was with Marie haha. Thank you though!

[@ekojoyo5538]

Omong opo de.e ke

[@fishing4truth91]

Watching you folks do all the hard work needed to build such a functional long term shelter has given me a new appreciation for the amount of wood processing that's required. I especially like your use of birch bark for interior paneling material. Outstanding over all, you make a good team and are fortunate to have one another to share your passion for the outdoors with.

[@wituikbws]

I extremely under estimated just how much there would be. I knew how much would I'd need roughly but to get each log into a state where I liked it was a pain :) Thank you though!

[@kennethworde862]

Great job, quite a girl & dog in that order! I realize your young and this is your learning, it takes 3-4Xs to master. I would just like to pass on some TTPs, tips techniques procedures from and old time bushwacker 1. Make a strap/loop to carry many woods 2. Weave wood so points are under main supports, friction will fail all tarps! 3. Bbark can pealed into many layers 4. Go to $store by Aluminum foil for fire reflector, saves much wood and work 5. Lastly little known put hot rocks in metal pale and cover, bring into sleep area will give off heat for some time, a bed sheet liner, on high will collect any mositure, prevents rain inside then air out in the day Again I truly enjoyed, and am proud of you for both doing and sharing, many have no idea the commitment and truly HARD work! Thanks from an old guy in N-MN

[@wituikbws]

Thanks! They are great. Thank you for the tips! Means a lot, I'm always trying to learn more :)

[@michaelhall8848]

Very nice 'silent documentary'. This format is very relaxing. There is something very pleasant about watching people use their skills to build something from nature.

[@pkupkupkupkupku]

This was strangely calming to watch. I watched about 15 minutes of it at a time at the end of the day. Thank you for doing this.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I like the 'one stop to shop' compendium of your shelter build. I have been watching some episodes but came in about mid-way. This is a great way to catch up with you and yours. My next thought was 'what an amazing year 2017 was for you and Marie: you accomplished so much on the shelter build...and you worked so well together...and you RECORDED so many informative images. What a series this has been!

[@wituikbws]

Glad to hear! It took AGES to edit together. I'm glad you're caught up!

[@christopherobrien6680]

Top class video and with easy to follow instructions one would have very little problem erecting such a structure and given the fact i am a country boy living in a capital city concrete jungle it makes me long for the smell of fresh air, wide open spaces and the freedom of the wilderness, so well done to both of you for the entertainment value and the information and ain't the Canadian wilderness beautiful in the winter.

[@timmorey9844]

Thank you for sharing this video. You are extremely talented and patient. I really enjoy seeing young people who can create and come up with great idea's. Awesome!

No problem; although, I'm neither of those things haha. I just do what I think works

[@TeacherSBD]

The design of your shelter is well thought and you made a terrific job. I wish you good times in the forest. I'm from Québec province and have built a small shelter too. Nice to see Canadian bushcrafters on YT!

[@MedianOccupant]

Love the shelter! I read most of the comments and quite a few were swearing for no reason and ignorant.....You did a wonderful job... even in the snow. A GREAT FireReflector and I loved the silver-birch walls. I bet scraping all those limbs for the frame was quite annoying. I use tarp for my shelter(s) but had made a small semi-permenant shelter a few years ago and it still stands! haha,,,, I am a woodsman in North England and travel to Scotland to bushmaster various times of the year if possible. I subscribed and going to watch a few more of your videos soon, Keep it up! I would of cut the front limb out (the bench/seat/bed in the open area of the shelter) and used the space underneath for firewood.

[@wituikbws]

Thanks! People are strange on the internet, I try to keep my channel clean from people like that but it gets hard sometimes. I actually enjoy peeling logs, I use to do it for work a few times and it is kind of therapeutic, like splitting wood. North England! That is far away from here. Thanks for subscribing! I'll try to keep it up. Good idea on the bench by the way, I'll do that :)

[@hopeeternal6450]

I love the no talking. People talk too much on these survival videos..especially about equipment. It reflects the PEACE you get in the woods! Thank you for doing this! ...my retirement plan...cause things are going south (as the saying goes) and the tide is shifting all around us. :)

[@wituikbws]

I love it as well :) Sounds like a good plan

[@statesmanls1]

Love the audio on this. The effort you've made making sure your gear is good means that when you are around the campfire it feels like i'm actually there listening to the crackles.

[@wituikbws]

Believe it or not the audio is actually an internal mic on the camera I use. I'm surprised how many comments I'm getting about it! Nikon should be proud aha

[@Cankuwicasa]

Yes, it creates ambiance. Very soothing and peaceful. Always loved staring into the fire and letting my thoughts wonder. The audio here sets me right beside the burning logs.

[@abyp1883]

This is the one I was looking for! The main distinct feature from everyone else......silence! which is what the intention of an outdoor camping is. At least the human loud noises should not be there. Thank you sooooooooooooo much for providing us these! Bless you. Searched so much! finally got it. Tks!

[@wituikbws]

I have many more similar videos on my channel! Thanks for the support!

[@victorsutpheniii3374]

Great job! Thank you for sharing with us. When you can, get the heavy duty tarp that's brown on one side and reflective silver on the other. Brown faces outside and the silver will trap more heat on the inside.

[@nomdeguerre13]

the silence factor really made this video work for me, really enjoyed it.

[@wituikbws]

I'm glad you like it: although, I wish I was able to talk well filming and have a more V-log style similar to The Wooded Beardsmen. It'd be a lot easier to do work and learn since I'm not 70% filming then 30% actually working, but gotta do what ya gotta do I guess aha

I am so jealous of you Nicholas, not because Marie is a cutie but because she is willing to go out into the woods with you. My wife would never be caught without a proper bathroom so even a campsite with a port-o-potty is a no go. RV glamping is as close to the wilderness as she is willing to go hahaha

I was feeling myself with them in jungle, cutting, woodcrafting and making shelter. Weldone and great job. Keep it up both of you.

[@wituikbws]

I'm glad you enjoyed :)

[@georgecraft007]

When I spent time in northern Canada, I would always make my fire up against a large vertical facing rock. The heat would radiate both into the rock and reflect away from the rock. When the fire went out, the rock would radiate it's heat back into my sleeping space, so that I always stayed warm if the fire went out. I put a large log between me and the fire, so that I could control how much heat radiation was hitting me directly. I would build my shelter up against the rock in order to capture the heat into my sleeping space. There was always a vent hole directly above the fire, so that the smoke would exit the sleeping space. I also learned a trick when making a fire. I split a log into two pieces and spaced the two flat pieces 1" apart. I would start my fire between the two flat pieces of the log 1" apart and the flames would radiate their heat back and forth between the two logs. Flames like to lick their way up a vertical surface and this creates a natural draft, as the cooler air comes in from the bottom and the warm air exits the top. In the bush, try to collect birch bark when traveling. Birch bark has a natural oil in it, that burns even if wet. At home, I start my fireplace the same way. Two flat vertical wood pieces spaced 1" apart, with a sheet of newspaper between them. One match and the fire starts itself with no kindling. Always make sure that your wood is dry or you will be wasting your time trying to get heat out of it.

Amazingly well constructed shelter......VERY impressive! You two did a brilliant job! I learned so much!

[@wituikbws]

Thanks! It could have used some better planning and care though. I'm currently rebuilding it for that reason. I recommend learning from Dan Wowak from Coalcracker Bushcraft or Dave Canterbury from Pathfinder. I'm not the best to learn from haha

[@peterodonnell3312]

Really appreciate and enjoyable to watch both of you build your crafts.thank you.

[@rhondaclark716]

In Canada , can you go into the woods and build a cabin and live in it 🌹

[@RealChoice1776]

We really appreciate your video, very enjoyable and live the team work, my wife and I have been together for 40 year and married 35 and we loved it and look forward to see more. Your filming was good lots of actions and it was everything we were looking for God Bless You both in your adventures. I pray God will bless you both as He has blessed us. Upward and onward forever and ever. 👫

[@wituikbws]

Thank you for watching! There are more videos of us working together out in the bush on my channel if you're interested in taking a look! God Bless

I have a long bit of stainless steel wire to use to tie things together , still working on a metal roof for strength and fire protection and if I cover it with debris it can become invisible I only have a few flat rocks to use for floor radiant heat tunnel capstones _ warm and dry

[@CranberryCake]

This is so amazing! I wish someday I could find someone with me to build stuff like this, but for now, im just happy to be alone with my dogs

[@wituikbws]

Thanks! Being alone is fine, but it's always better with someone else I find :)

[@TaiJ-Aird]

Me too girl .. in New York I dont meet alot of guys who are into this kind of stuff...sigh

[@LSSGuru]

Bravo 👏👏👏. Awesome job, the old pioneer's would be proud of you two!

[@elPolaczek1992]

[@wituikbws]

Cheers from Canada! Thanks!

[@janethartwig774]

Enjoyed every minute of your wonderful adventure. You both are so skillful. Thanks for all of your hard work.

[@wituikbws]

I'm happy to hear! We have a lot to learn yet but we're trying.

[@oldestsurvivalist6928]

Oh, almost 4got, use large-headed roofing\shingle nails. they don't tear through as easy in windy weather... Oh & Line The Inside With Bubble foil as Ur putting up the blue tarp. It will keep a lot of the cold out & heat in (I'm talking bathing suit in the middle of Jan, warm) & reflect the fire heat into the tent if U put some on the firewall backstop. And Add a 4th tarp that U can put up or down over the open section, 4 when Ur away.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching

You're welcome! Thanks for watching

Random click. I was just going to watch 5 or 10 minutes before bed. Now it is after midnight and my eyes are closing on their own. This is a very therapeutic video. I am enjoying watching you what I would enjoy doing if I still had the chance. Cool video. Thanks.

[@wituikbws]

I'm glad it helped you sleep!

[@allthingssilver7635]

Never tried this, just an idea I had watching you hang the tarps. Lay the 2 tarps on the ground with top edges overlapping. Roll them together around a ridge pole. Then hang the ridge pole from tripod to tripod and the tarps would hand down. Basically the top ridge would be rolled together around a pole. Seems it would work well to keep water and wind out. Hope that made sense. Also you guys did great, enjoyed watching this. I'm not one of those people who's saying what I would have done different or what yall should have done different. There's more than one way to do things. I've never done anything like this so I definitely cant put in my 2 cents. I plan on doing this this fall in the mountains. Watching videos for ideas

[@wituikbws]

Great idea! I can see how that'd work much better. My concern would be how much shorter it'd make the tarp. Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

[@TheRealKalEll]

2,900 dislikes WISHING they were you 2 😆 AWESOME site, excellent work, what a team. Kudos. Thanx for sharing it all with us. ( anni4x4 also has some reeeeally cool tools. I like her "wooden pegged wine-cork remover" style hand drill. To hold frames together with wooden plugs)

[@lynnepierce3676]

Wow really enjoyed the long term camping shelter build. Lots of work. Enjoyed watching the process. Thanks for sharing😊. Just found this on KZbin. Never can tell what you'll find.😊

[@wituikbws]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Welcome to the channel :)

[@loudoug5986]

Cool Build! I loved it ! The length was great. Glad you shared All of the footage. I shared with my son. I’m new to bushcraft so this was really a leaning experience for me.

[@wituikbws]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed! I wouldn't use this video to learn from however. A lot of what I use to do was not only wrong but some of it even dangerous. I'd highly recommend Lonnie and Connie from Far North Bushcraft & Survival to learn from instead, or just watch my newer videos where I am doing things the correct and safe way 👍
