Bushcraft Camp Update 7 - Cooking Set-up | TAOutdoors

[@WiltshireMan]

Good Luck with the move away from the teaching job. TA fishing and Outdoors are both great channels and deserve to grow. ATB Sandy

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks Sandy

[@TAOutdoors]

I'm back at Camp.....FINALLY!

[@robint2455]

yeahhh

[@templar4450]

Where in the uk are you from mate ?

[@TAOutdoors]

+Templar Hampshire

[@TAOutdoors]

Hi, there are laws as to what you can take and length of blade etc. Well worth reading up on UK knife law. I am however on private land and have the correct permissions.

[@natemladek5340]

TA Outdoors what is the cooking set you use

[@TheMrJoeMac]

Congrats on moving on from your old job to do something you love. You really have a something great going here and with the fishing. I learned quite a bit from your vids so far. This cook set up is brilliant. Thanks for bringing us along. Will be great to see you and maybe your dad having a over night stay there sometime soon.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

This is another of my 'replay' favorites. The crane is refined and the instructions are clear. Thank you! (USA)

[@chrisandsamlivingthedream]

Crane looks & works great buddy .. lovley fire ... cheers Chris & Sam

[@vann8414]

I think the thing I enjoy the most (besides being outdoors) is watching you come up with a solution to a problem. I liked the crane concept and have a feeling there is another permutation in there when your 'wheels' start turning. Good work, laddie! Raised bed, cook-stone, camp table and chair, cauldron, primitive utensils.. :)

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Still one of my FAVORITE projects that you have taught us!

[@peggyarsenault2705]

I watch all your videos. I LOVE how you explain everything and show how it's done. (That is obviously the teacher in you, and I'm sure you'll be missed in the school system over there). I own property on a freshwater brook in the small island province of PEI, Canada. I am in the beginning phases of building a camp similar to yours. I've also gotten ideas from Survival Lily and Primitive Technology as well as Carlisle 195. But you are the best at EXPLAINING not only how but WHY

[@Nadetska]

I followed you on Instagram a while back then recently started watching your channel too. You are a born teacher!Today I'm off sick and missing work (primary school...!) so binge watching your Bushcraft Camp series and having the odd cat nap too. Thanks for brightening my horrid achy, coughing day!

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks! Get well soon

[@debbieboring3422]

Great job on the cooking crane. Good idea with the second piece of wood on the post. I glad it worked out as well as it did. I was think not only would it keep the fire from burning you arm for the crane. But it would keep you from getting poked in the head with the armature. Really good job I think I could build one of these after watching this video. Thanks

[@crossnuts]

Loved watching the vids. My four young kids and I have been watching them one per night and it's great to see your camp come along. Thanks for sharing this with us all.

[@peytonthomas4506]

When you put big important sticks in the ground it makes them stronger if you put littler sticks in with it vertically

[@p1a9d6d6y]

Mike, you must be doing something right since I'm watching these videos back to back, keep it up fella

[@7Belial7]

The bahco is a great little tool, but silky saws are just the best you can get. If you process a lot of wood it will make your life much easier. Try a silky gomboy 230, you'll thank... silky. A bit more pricy, but is worth every penny.

[@williamavery9185]

So glad to see you back, I love all your shows. You and your dad are Awsome and now you are full time you can help the old boy produce even more great shows. Maybe get out on the boat? Whatever, thankyou.

[@TAFishing]

Thanks William, appreciate your kind feedback! - Mike

[@valllacon85]

That pot hanger is a thing of beauty. A feat of engineering

[@philips4074]

I think this is my favorite cook system that I've seen so far. Excellent!!

[@TAOutdoors]

Watch CAMP UPDATE 8 HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4S7fJ5-e7Z9eqc

[@jamiemcquillan5997]

just watched all 7 camp updates in a row they're amazing! looking forward to camp update 8

[@trmpkme]

Thanks to you I really want to get into bushcraft really bad. Thanks a ton and awesome video!

[@Andy-1968]

I'd be so pleased with your pot hanger, just like you are 😁 it's brill 👍 great video Mike

[@EnzoSmithers]

Mike, great to see another video from your channel, I am fascinated with how the camp will evolve and how you will tackle overnighters. If the cut down editing means we get more end product, then im all for it, keep up the good work :)

[@TAOutdoors]

Cool thanks for the feedback Rob!

[@samdobbins7294]

Keep up the good work, these videos are great! Please do a video showing everything you carry in your bag.

[@normanscout1148]

good to see you back,the camp still looks in Good shape which is always nice to see, simple and effective crane does the job well as do all creative ideas, enjoyable video as always thanks for sharing. oh and I agree it's good to get away from it all at one with nature nothing like it

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks Norman

[@addyrutter9242]

Great video Mike. The camp is looking awesome. Looking forward to the next update and watching it progress 😀

[@mylittlecornerofdevon]

Loved this - I am going to try it

[@jerryf609]

Cool crane setup for camp cooking. Brilliant.

[@alorisfall2930]

You taught me an incredible skill today. And for that, you've earned a subscriber!

[@stevem425]

Great video and idea. That's something that can be easily made at any campout for a little bush craft project to share while out.

[@TAOutdoors]

Yeh it is very effective!

[@Basebaman]

Finally! I love this series so much. Keep up the good work. You should make a garden some how

[@TAOutdoors]

Potentially in the future!

[@tonyoutdoorsuk3479]

Another brilliant video! As a newbie, I am learning loads from you and you're equally awesome Dad, so thank you both! :)

[@coopw101]

Great vid Mike looks like it will work just fine . Have fun out there and be safe.

[@FullSpectrumSurvival]

Nice site. Love the setup. +1

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks

[@spammerwhammer5526]

The crane is clever. I particularly like that you freely admit that you're learning as you go; refreshing. Just one question: surely it's a jib rather than a gib? Suggestion: install a rocket stove alongside, or instead of, the fire pit. Loads more heat from far less fuel. One catering can and a couple of soup cans, job done. Keep it up. I too follow you and your dad on TAF. He can't swim? No wonder he looks nervy when the sea swells hit the boat!

[@TAOutdoors]

Perhaps I did say it wrong, but I am almost certain it is spelled "gib" Thanks for the feedback

[@JCrook1028]

@@TAOutdoors jib1 Dictionary result for jib /jib/ noun noun: jib; plural noun: jibs 1. Sailing a triangular staysail set forward of the forwardmost mast. 2. the projecting arm of a crane.

[@jerky2112]

9:45 If you notched under each side of your V shape stick it would rest on the top of the lashed stick that keeps it from falling. As you move all the way to either side the notch would allow the angled stick with the V shape to drop down a bit and stay put.

[@johnlord8337]

I use a 3" metal O ring for making any tri- or quad-pod cooking frame or seats. Then buy a 6 foot length of 40# "double-link"hardware chain. At the ends and 1 foot apart, crimp in 60-80# S hooks. This trammel chain is SOOOO grabby .... Use it for any height of cooking. Can also use in so many ways of chaining up other camp shelters (tipi, hogan, wigwam, A frame). Use the same O ring and chain trammel making a tri- or quad-pod camp chair. O ring the poles (upside down tipi), and then use the chain trammel and weave back and forth between the poles for the seat! Could even do the reverse. Chain up the poles with the S hooks, then run chain around the poles, and have the O ring as the center of the seat (and weave the chain in/out of the ring). Same chain for a tent or hammock tarp ridge line, hanging water purification filter bag, hang ruck, clothes, boots, airdry wet clothes near fire, ....

[@jwhamilton79]

you need a scotch eyed auger bit so you can make dowels check them out you can carve you a stick to crank it around and bore your holes your stuff will be much stronger you can make mallets also its a woodsman's best friend I have one and also a old school hand crank drill with some very sharp bits there are vids on here for both in bush craft I loved finding it and its uses, tables beds,ect

[@chippeswe]

Hahahahah, that's the typical Kip Kay music in the beginning I died a bit! You really are(is?) an truly inspiring bushcrafter, truly great, and totally awesome!

[@TAOutdoors]

Thank you

[@SoldierDemps]

Keep doing what you do man! Love this stuff, really do! Keep the content coming my way and i'l keep watching!

[@plewelly]

That is a clever little crane. I'd really like to set up a camp for myself with one of those.

[@TAOutdoors]

They are awesome little things and so adaptable

[@isaaccarroll5736]

YAY, your back, dude I'm feeling the same way, good luck going primitive! and a log cabin-ish shelter would be awesome! can't wait to see what's next!

[@TAOutdoors]

Haha primitive all the way! Thanks

[@SimonDeBelleme1]

I would have gone for a "bacston and yetling" system, as it used to be called. The "bacston" or bake-stone was a piece of slate on which bread made out of acorn flour, hazelnuts, etc, could be baked. The "yetling" was the cauldron for cooking soup, etc. I would also have a large kettle for boiling water - for water safety, for ablutions/laundry, and for beverages.I would probably have used a tripod myself - but your crane is ingenious. They didn't have much more than that, really, until domestic gas and electricity were invented.

[@PaulBissekerBushcraft]

Nice vid Mike. Ive been watching you and your dad for years on the fishing channel.

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks, hope you enjoy the videos on this Channel too!

[@christiangoett3014]

another quality KZbin video from TA Outdoors!

[@X_explorer]

Excellent channel! I like looking earth, discover and slow down...

[@UnknownIdentityDE]

This cooking crane is damned cool :D

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks Paul!

[@bobfurlong5195]

New subscriber, I like your videos. In Bushcraft Camp update, you never explained what happened to your main shelter? The crane. THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN BUSHCRAFT!!!!! Great job!!!!

[@MrHDChevy]

I like this video best where you get to the point. great video

[@orangenblueohio]

"Awesome" cooking crane. Thanks for sharing.

[@aa-pf9uy]

Thanks for the video's im going to make a camp by myself these videos help me alot

[@TAOutdoors]

Awesome! Good luck!

[@willerinhaney2454]

Keep up the good work! Definitely going to try the crane!!

[@aykquiambao4687]

Camping in an isolated island is one of my dream 😊😊😊

[@kingdavid7571]

Good luck with your job change. It takes some courage. I really hope it works out!

[@TAOutdoors]

Thank you, I appreciate it

[@grahamecarter]

good vid Mike, and best of luck with the venture.

[@catindigo9907]

Very nice, have enjoyed your bushcraft series.

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks

[@Just_ChappyAUS]

Episode was great! I enjoy your more cinematic entrances though!

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks for the feedback James

[@christiangoett3014]

good shit Mike! way to ditch your day job. well done mate! you and your dad are great.

[@TAOutdoors]

haha cheers mate

[@deanbarry2202]

Shelter has definitely come along and well done on the on catfish on the other channel

[@novembersagitarius751]

I love the cooking crane

[@royrodgers567]

Yup the crane is my favorite part

[@chrislashmar6834]

Glad to see you back... Garden Twine? Surely you have spools upon spools of old fishing line... Probably as strong and definitely cheaper. Look forward to seeing you out fishing again too.... But unlike your dad, try and stay on dry land.

[@TAOutdoors]

Haha yeh the difference is I can swim and he can't!!

[@rml1166]

I was so happy when I got the notification that you had done ep 7

[@TAOutdoors]

:)

[@raymondbailey1970]

awesome mate ive been watching ur sister channel ur dad is a legend never fails to make a laugh especially when he fell in the river lmao,good luck both awesome channels,Atb.

[@TAOutdoors]

Yeh he is! Thanks man and glad you like the video - Mike

[@thegamer-qi6ii]

great channal glad to see your going full time BTW nice camp setup

[@wanmahaniwanabdullah2402]

thanks mike for sharing..i love it..

[@templar4450]

Good job can't wait to make one myself.

[@TAOutdoors]

Good luck! It's not actually too tricky to make and it can easily be simplified

[@jaynelund6931]

You would Ove been the best teacher

[@federalpumas6018]

instead of using different size sticks to get closer and farther from the fire you can just make deeper holes around the fire so that the whole thing gets lower, only problem is that the twine can burn but it probably wont

[@Trickster1914]

Awesome vid buddy. Keep them coming!

[@TAOutdoors]

Will do!

[@nathankirkby5340]

that's brilliant man keep it up

[@theechacha]

Can I make a suggestion since you have a long stick for your crane to me that be like a high heat now you can make one for medium heat or a shorter one and make one for low and slow heat a smaller one then you 3 different sizes for what you want to cook to hang your pots on just food for thought .

[@benhatch8067]

A log cabin would be a great idea... #totallyawesome you should also do a meet up

[@carboncopy2853]

always great videos mike

[@NorwegianWoods]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing :) - Martin

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks Martin

[@buttonsunnymaxnonya7329]

teaching is a great profession, I teach youth in Boy Scouts how to be fine young men, I will use your teaching for my scouts. thanks. I live in Midwest of the USA

[@brandonravalec4251]

I am new 2 your channel and been watchin u all day love it keep it comin and i think that the rocks around the fire pit can explode if they r wet even damp but not 100% just hate to see it happen 2 u saw it happen isaw it b4 not good

[@BeckBockk]

As a teacher who is dying of exhaustion, I dream of doing this. You've essentially given me some hope there's a world after this job! What did you teach?

[@TAOutdoors]

Not an easy industry to be in anymore that's for sure! Taught PE ad Geography

[@BeckBockk]

Not at all - so much to do, not enough time for things like this. Thanks for giving me the desire to go walking again this weekend.

[@rustymartell1743]

Just started watching your channel. I love "the crane" idea. I'm wondering, and you mentioned that the twine (I'm an American, you called it lashing, correctly so), is it poly based twine? Because if it is, you may have an added benefit of it melting somewhat and forming a sleeve. With which, you could simply cover with a small piece pliable metal such as aluminum, and your work would never be compromised. Lastly, and I'm not criticizing, but a weight load test would be in order wouldn't it? I know I would do one, because I usually don't camp alone.

[@williamvalen2212]

This is very cool!👍

[@denisekelly6320]

Incredible...thank you

[@emilysmither2653]

Could you boil potatoes? And eventually will the store co attached to the pot burn? Just wondering and great videos!

[@jaimievachon8569]

I feel like the layout for the shelter isn't conducive for moving around it well. The fire pit is in an awkward spot in front of the secondary shelter and the a frame should be on the backside away from the wind. I'm wanting to make a big out shelter of my own and I really like how you have built you walls and the log benches.

[@gerardriordan712]

Thank you too...cheers

[@TheMocBrosVideos]

Really enjoyed this, keep it up man!

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks man!

[@mariaotero5601]

Awesome 👍 ? Are you still going to build up the rocks!!

[@krystianklich1931]

I love to watch your films, dude! Great work! Awesome! If I can, I think the arm was dropping because ... • lower (reversed = attached) The forks were quite narrow + ... • the post was quite thick => There Was Not Sufficient Friction By Keeping Shoulder. Furthermore, if the Support is not under a rigid point in orientation to the Arm, it might also cause the Arm to fall off. I like this construction very much. I have seen many different options for its implementation on the Internet :-) Yours sincerely, Krystek P.S. Do you have any Polish roots?

[@willp5002]

Great video!

[@nocomment2944]

Bit of a shock to hear cheesy music on a TA OUTDOORS FILM how things have evolved over the years. And 1.54 mill as well.

[@kenglass1980]

Loving tour videos....Totally Awesome!!!! Just a wee note. Metal base for a fire will protect from direct embers but not heat. Consider stone and a small concrete pour...... Cheers bud!
