Those elephant skins are the best groundsheets, nice backpack too. Awesome video, thanks again Vanessa, take care 👍🙂💖

Sand is warm bye day, but very cold bye night, just bye it’s very nature, and even worse if it becomes windy. Thanks for another nice video. Cheers, Jim.

Hello Vanessa.. Yes my best time of the year is summer. So nice to get back to nature as it is intended. On my own and to look up and see a million+ Stars at night. Then in the early morning to wake and listen to the Dawn Chorus as the sun rises over the hills. Just relaxing after a day making shelters and cooking on open fires. Nothing like the smells of bacon and eggs cooking after re-lighting the fire with a nice hot drink of coffee or minted tea. Then go foraging for food for free as you say take little what you need and leave the rest to grow as it should be. To sit and enjoy the warm day and maybe do some wood carving of spoons forks and knives. Bless you Vanessa you bring back old memories to me by what your doing. As you know it is not easy for me at this moment in time.. Regards Mick.. From England... xx

[@tonysiddarth4807]

Tu es la meilleure Vanessa Blank, depuis que je regarde tes vidéos j'ai trop envie de vivre dans la nature !

The drone is an excellent addition to your videography. And thank you so much for substituting the prop sounds with something more pleasing. Your efforts are appreciated.

You seem like you are doing a lot better. You seem like you have overcome your illness completely!!!! You pulled up your boot straps and got back to life.That proves what a tough person you are. I am very happy for you and very proud for you!!!

[@adoa77]

I've recently discovered and subscribed to this amazing channel and feel very inspired by her ability and courage. May I ask which kind of illness she has? Maybe this can inspire women in a similar situation.

[@earlyoung2863]

About 6AM, here in Oklahoma. I hope you and family are having a beautiful Easter afternoon in Bavaria. I think I just watched the BEST video you've EVER made, Vanessa. I was like a little fish, swimming up that stream.....minding my own business, and THEN, the little German girl had me HOOKED.😳 I was lost, absorbed in the most pleasurable experience! And later, YOU said that you felt like your viewers were there WITH you. WE WERE!!!That's YOUR ability, meine liebshen. You pull us in. IT'S a beautiful gift to us! Danke! You are glowing, by the way😏. 😎🚜🇩🇪🇺🇸

[@billpederson4831]

when i was young we made forts like that all the time in the ground under the ground and tree houses making them was so fun nice job.

Well Done Vanessa love the shelter,excellent idea bank of sand. Your videos are a inspiration for us to go camping this Summer.

[@carydagnese5484]

Vanessa, that was a really beautiful place to camp. Your drone air video was really good! God bless and take case,,,

[@kelseybishop3593]

I really like how you read all your comments, it feels nice and human. Assuming you do read them and not just put a heart! Years ago l built a structure supporting a large, heavy canvas tarp. I was a beginner and some of thr older crew said it needed more lashing, yet instead of doing the finishing touches, it was declared unsafe for sleeping because it was wobbly and needed stabilization. A few days later we had gale force 100kmph winds and down she came. The campers were very upset because the tarp had a large rip in it. I decided to never let that ever happen again and learnt from my mistakes. Years later at another protest camp called Bentley anti csg , l decided to put my mark on the protest before l left and put up one tarp/structure. Once again a few days later gale force winds came and blew everything down...except the tarp l put up. I returned a week later to find all these hippies huddled under this tarp as it had been the only shelter available during the storm. Two lessons from this story, one* if you see mistakes in a person's structure, fix them yourself rather than say l told you so. Two *build structures with overkill safety standards in case of natural disaster. Also a trick l use is to take the coals from a fire before bed, put them in a fry pan or metal container and place it near you when sleeping. Hot rocks wrapped in a t-shirt as a substitute hot water bottle nicely warms up my sleeping bag. Thank you for the video Ps l tried to purchase the backpack online but it would not allow me to type Australia into the address list, do you not import to Australia?

You have good hand and body gestures that explain just fine. Recovery looks very very good. As always, be safe and have fun. Phil

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Loved the drone video segments - way cool. The drone footage adds a lot of dimensionality and interest to the video. Nicely done. That's one very sharp saw. It went through that branch like it was butter. Lots of bird songs audible in the video - very nice. Another great video - felt like I was there. Very relaxing. Thank you Vanessa!

[@patrickh9226]

Thank you, Vanessa. When you chose your camping spot, I knew the sand might fail to keep and retain the sun's heat. However, I hoped the nearby stones would do that. Regardless, you had your little dog to help you stay warm, and the sun quickly warmed your camp after you stood up and began to work. You are a remarkable woman. I enjoy your adventures. When I was your age, I had many such adventures. Now, I am the age of your grandfather, so I don't like to sleep on the ground like I once did. I will relive those days by watching your bushcraft videos. I am so glad to see your ongoing recovery from your facial paralysis. You are tough and strong!

[@Oldtimecarpenter]

Hello Vanessa, I noticed right away that you have a new backpack.. That same waxed cotton is basically what we here call “oil cloth” and has been used for hundreds of years. I have a tarp made out of it which won’t burn holes from sparks of a fire. I love the way you build your shelters from natural materials even though it’s very much work. The dinner you made looked delicious and your new knife is a thing of beauty. You outdo yourself every time you make a video for us viewers! I really enjoyed this one as I have all the others. Thanks my dear friend and stay healthy! 👍🙏❤️

[@KJ6EAD]

Oil cloth and waxed cotton are two very different things.

[@Oldtimecarpenter]

@@KJ6EAD You’re right. Oil cloth is impregnated with linseed oil on course muslin cloth vs a heavier canvas with a paraffin wax applied to it! I was insinuating the similarities between the two!
