You have the coolest gear load out I've ever seen!!!!

[@TheLoreofBushcraft]

Michael, you're awesome! Thank you! 💪💪💪

[@pykok]

exactly, I watch a ton of videos and they don’t really inspire my real life. When watching The Lore I often pause and tinker with my kit - I’ve made similar shoulder bag from a dump pouch and a shoulder strap.

Just switched back to a helikon tex bergen pack. I abandoned the pack a couple years ago when I thought it was too small. Turns out skills take less space than unnecessary kit.

[@TheLoreofBushcraft]

Right you are Cody! 💪 I just got a new pack myself, but it's another wax canvas ruck. It just carries much better than my Frost River pack. It's featured in my up and coming video adventure. Stay tuned

Idahomie here. I love camping, fishing and just being deep in the sticks. I dig your content, I'm also jealous of your kit. Keep pumping out videos, and I'll be here to watch them.

[@TheLoreofBushcraft]

Hello mate, the outdoors is an oasis for us all, it is simply our natural environment. And going to Woods, is coming alive. As far as Kit goes, there are many cutbacks that I do, such as not purchasing that $5 coffee and eating out. I make most of my food at home and grind my own coffee there as well, I don't have a girlfriend presently, and I don't drive a car. This gives me the ability to purchase gear freely, I also contact companies and ask them to send me things, while also contact me on their own and send me things. I do make sure that I purchase high quality items, so that they may last, and some things I wish to pass on to my grandson. I've also been collecting for years and I'm 48 now. Posting my adventures on KZbin gives me the ability to share cherished experiences. I'm honoured you are enjoying the ride. Cheers! 💪🌱🏕️⛰️

How was the night on the leaf litter mattress in the end? Was it comfy/warm? Seems like a great way to cut down on weight by leaving the sleeping pad at home if u know there will be plenty of leaves where you're going :)

[@TheLoreofBushcraft]

Perfectly comfortable, I've been doing this for years. I use straw as well. When I do use straw it is the most comfortable. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKXTq4acdt2jeJY

Yeah, the Bushcraft Spain one might be better for winter, but the PNW is lighter and better for summer or spring I suppose.

[@irvingernie]

Carn, that was a perfect shelter and setup for the convenience of outdoor living. Some times mother nature provides the best overhead shelter that money can't buy, outstanding 👏 👌 👍 😎.

[@TheLoreofBushcraft]

Yeah, it’s great when nature provides and you don’t have to bring as much kit so you can travel lightly and just pick a spot and camp out for the night. I really love that cave and that was a wonderful trip. I certainly plan to go back to that cave. Cheers

[@se7enthedge382]

I just found your channel a couple of hours ago thanks to a recommendation from someone in a FB bushcraft & survival group. I absolutely love the evident focus of your load-out: foraging raw materials from your environment where possible so as to minimize gear-dependency while maximizing versatility, and the gear itself is simple, durable, and rugged enough to make the most of that versatility. Equipped to provide for your needs plus simple, motivating comforts without being excessive. Your presentation style speaks volumes such that you don't have to. Liked, subbed, and looking forward to more.

Hello, welcome Bugman! I suppose if I was camping with someone I would talk :) Yeah, it's a great pack (you just have to alter it to gain rigidity). The pillow is made by Cocoon, it's their Camp pillow. Looking forward to having you along for many more adventures. Welcome aboard!

What material was the sack you used for the leaf litter mattress made of

[@TheLoreofBushcraft]

Hello mate, it’s just a Sleeping bag liner

[@TheLoreofBushcraft]

The ground sheet is waxed canvas so one is able to place any material on top of that. I used a sleeping bag liner, because it had drawstrings which cinched all the leaves in.

Hello Mitch, I couldn't have accomplished anything better than inspiring someone to get out into Bush again. Cheers South Africa!

[@asheradensein]

I noticed you don't eat meat, but adding some vegetable bouillon to your soup and rice might step up the flavor even more ;). Great vid, from a new subscriber :).

[@TheLoreofBushcraft]

I wish you were there to have tasted how good that dish was! The smoking sausage filled the stew with flavour and juices. The fresh parsley and thyme brightened it. There was also bay leaf and mirepoix in the base of that stew I sauteed in the pot the evening before when I prepped the pot. I'm glad you reached out, perhaps I should have added that behind the scenes info in the description, but I felt it was more about the cave experience. Welcome aboard, I'll look forward to hearing from you again. Thanks so much! -Càrn

👍 Great meals. Excellent camp. Beautiful countryside. Thanks for sharing. What is your backpack?

[@TheLoreofBushcraft]

Hello, thank you! That's the Frost River Isle Royale Bushcraft Jr pack, however, I don't recommend it. It carries like a 12 year old kid on your back. No matter what you do to try to adapt it it's still dead weight. I wouldn't wish it on anyone unless they are a rugged individual or a glutton for punishment, such as myself. Don't get me wrong it's a well-constructed pack that will last generations and okay if you are only trekking a half hour or so with minimal kit. You can put a pack basket inside of it to help from pulling on your shoulders and purchase the hip belt to keep things up. Anyway if you saw in my later videos I have upgraded to the Boreal Bushcraft pack that has a lumbar support, but unfortunately the Craftsman retired. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nna6n5p8fridh6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2SranR_oZKWp5Y

[@ROE1300]

@@TheLoreofBushcraft I own the Frost River Isle Royale Pack and totally understand your comments. I did watch the links you provided. For short weekend trips I am considering the Frost River Isle Royal Mini, but am having trouble locating folks who actually use that pack for other than day hikes.
