[@davidglasperify]

I have watched your progress with bushcraft since you started and it's been great to see how your confidence has grown and you have progressed. I think you're the real deal.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you David, thank you for following me on my journey

[@eventsmorewithchrisg]

@@GirlOutdoors Hi, KZbin gave me a suggest to watch you so I tuned in! Cool stuff! I did make a joke earlier on with the word "teepee" that hopefully you won't mind & will get a chuckle out of. I also mentioned an area that, if you find yourself in the Western MA. area,you should check out for maybe an overnighter. Not sure what's allowed for bushcraft building but you could probably get away with a debri shelter, a hammock or tent set up. This's out in Royalston MA. which's about 30 to 40 minutes from Orange MA. center. If any of the locale seems familiar, Stephen King filmed his Netflix series "Castle Rock"up there about 2 or so years ago. If you have a kayak or canoe, you can pull up on the 7 islands out there & explore. I gave some jokey names to some because of various things either seen, or that happened when I was dating a woman who got me into kayaking & we went there a bunch of times. One I put as a thing when you started cooking around 6:11 so, if you see this, BE CAREFUL @ the top of the tallest peaked island due to biting ants. Before you get there, if you follow RTE. 2 East, you'll go into Erving MA.& You have a State Forset up there with a beautiful lake called Laurel Lake. That's pay per camping but not expensive. Not sure what's going on with the place due to CV, but a cool place if they re open. Another one past Lake Tulley is Lake Dennison which has pay per camping. The lake o er there is sort of overgrown with Lily pads in one area towards the road going past it a bit, but the rest is pretty clear. There's other places I could suggest but I don't want to make this a novel. Again, cool stuff & I learn a lot from watching folks like you make things from natural resources.

[@3rubberboats]

One added note. Noticed you can saw wood with either hand. Being ambidextrous is good. Have an extra wonderful day.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Moses :)

[@highenergyog]

Hi Becky , I am in the process of building a two person Bush craft shelter for my wife Brenda . My wife had mentioned watching your channel as well as Survival Lily's channel and how she would love to spend a night or two with me in the woods , now that our 7 sons are all in their 30s and no longer live at home we have time to enjoy some peace and quiet together. Lol. I will attempt to make a video series of the build and our time together at the shelter to share on KZbin, thank you for inspiring my wife to do this with me . Best regards from Lloyd way over here in Ontario Canada.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Ah amazing, hope Brenda likes the shelter! Wow 7 sons, bet that was a handful. Yes that would be interesting to watch, it is also nice for memories for you to look back on. Take care Lloyd :)

[@highenergyog]

@@GirlOutdoors Thank you for watching and commenting, yes 7 sons was a handful but at the same time it was a lot of great experiences and memories. Raising them helped in keeping me in good shape and I'm still the same weight as I was as a teenager. Lol. I'll be 60 next summer . Once again best regards from Lloyd way across the pond .

Buster is such a so cool and lovely dog. Make a video about and with him.

Nice Shelter! Thanks for the impressions. Go out and enjoy 😊

[@computer.t.v7799]

It was an amazing trip and the camping was very beautiful too

[@grahamecarter]

I really like the way you cover your tasks, you never seem to harbor on one I.e. Fire lighting, bundle of twigs, lighter, 🔥. No messing. Same with the steak. Cooking on the coals, on the plate (looked great by the way) gone, next task!. Great style, great vid as always. Keep doing what you do, it's spot on the button. Till next time.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much, appreciate it. Take care :)

[@semco72057]

That is a nice teepee you are building and I hope you are able to complete it and have it looking like the ones built by the Native Americans. I got to see some years ago while stationed at an airbase in North Dakota and they looked great. It is nice that you have your best buddy, Buster with you and he is watching your 6 for you to alert you of anyone approaching your area.

[@1950boots]

Clicked Like Before I Watched This, Knew It Would Be Great! I Wasn't Wrong!

[@GirlOutdoors]

aw so kind!!

[@1950boots]

@@GirlOutdoors Thanks for the reply, Becks!

[@korridor7]

I believe the native Americans that built Teepees used buffalo hides sewn together for the covering. Please be sure to have enough ventilation and oxygen for the fire. But I’m sure you’ve already researched that :)

[@raveousone]

traditional native american (only used by certain tribes of the great plains and canadian prairies) teepees are 13 poles around 15 to 18 foot high 10 feet in diameter normally wrapped in buffalo hide yes modern tipis are canvas wrapped its very similar to the lavvu she has though the lavvu was used by the sami people of europe so was obviously made using different materials

[@redsorgum]

Buster is just chilling out thinking to himself, "yeah, whatever." You're doing an awesome job, Becky. 👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@eventsmorewithchrisg]

This'll end up as the possibly silliest comment of all, but, with all the mentions if the word "Teepee", I find myself wondering if anyone @ 1st thought she meant TP as in toilet paper? Now, there's those of us ( quite a bunch) who realize what a Teepee is, however, with how the CV crisis started & all the MSM reports about folks buying large quantities of TP ( paper towels too) you never know? Somebody may've been slightly confused?? - lol

[@liujackie9794]

Hi.. Strong girl.. You are really amazing... I like you si much. You very powerful.. 💪💪💪👍👍👍🤜🔥

[@jayteehee6789]

Nice start to your teepee. I've seen several with a breathable/waterproof housewrap covering them. It's called Tyvek made by Dupont. We get it in 10 foot x 100 foot rolls about CAD $120. It has many outdoor uses. Good luck.

[@ja-bv3lq]

I know I'm late to the party for this particular video Becky, but that blued-steel knife you are using is GORGEOUS!... EDIT: Well, now that I am a few more minutes in, maybe it wasn't blued-steel (and it was just the reflection that made it look that way). Either way, still a good looking knife.

[@eventsmorewithchrisg]

Around 6:11 when she started cooking I was thinking to myself that She can be thankful she didn't try this at the top of the tallest island over at Lake Tulley in Royalston MA. Me & an ex GF, while we were still dating, went & well, it turns out the top is one GINORMOuS biting ant mound from Hell! We were sort of having a lunch up there & within seconds these things came out & basically screwed us on food & started biting us too. They were black except for a white stripe in the middle & about as big as carpenter ants! ( For those familiar with the old movie "Panic at Lakewood Manor", it was like this except no toxic spill making the ants go crazy & bigger ants involved!) Needless to say, we didn't stay there that long. My gf who later on became an ex lost a pair of Ray Bans up there that we still jokingly believe are being used for solar tech by the ants living up there! This took place about 9 years or so ago. Other than the ants, the rest was fun.

U go bushcraft girl Really enjoy ur videos Love ur buddy on this outing Puppy dog 🐕 Happy Trails Love Cebo

[@donnance1480]

Hello to the Lovely Wood Wacker :) The Native Americans would space the diameter and slope angle of the teepee depending upon the land and location. In a wet environment a steep slope meant that water would run inside. Most opted for a 35 to 40 degree wall angle. Your selection of the Dakota Fire pit is PERFECT! When you are digging it, I would suggest that you make a Feature post about it as many do not know what that particular fire lay is. A "Keyhole pit" is a good choice with mostly similar features.

[@guitarnotator]

You are very experienced for your age. You must have a real passion and obsession for bushcraft. I wish I had your mind set. I didn't start till I was 25 in 2015, but only Done it until 2017 then had a breakdown so haven't been at it since.

[@Grimmeute]

Great job on the video. I would also like to add to some of you viewers. Can you have a little more respect guys? This is a 17 year old young lady your are writing these comments about. Please keep it clean

[@justinsmith8161]

I really enjoy watching your videos for a few reasons... Your work ethic is great. You take your time. Your progression is a masterpiece. Such a simplistic and always logical approach to tasks. The most important one of all... you are you and you don't use sex to promote yourself. It's great to see you coming out of your shell as you grow and watching your knowledge base expand. Keep up the hard work Bekky.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you so much for your comment Justin, that is so kind! It does sadden me to see a lot of bushcraft women are using their sexuality to promote their videos, I guess each to their own but I would think I'm pretty sad to have to do that to get views... Take care :)

[@mycroftholmes8353]

@@GirlOutdoors shame on you blocking my comment. It was constructive criticism. Your become the UK version of survival silly

[@mattparker9726]

it's not traditional, but i watched a Russian guy build a wigwam out of plastic saran wrap. its waterproof, easy, and you get to look outside the shelter... just sayin. Those kabobs made me hungry!

[@bob-ny6kn]

When I was your age, I only went into the woods for hunting or a picnic (daytime things, I lived in the exurbs/country). Nothing as big as camping for a week. Very cool.

[@bgurtek]

Here in Minnesota the indigenous people often made similar shelters that they called "odenas". These were more permanent than the teepees used by the people of our Great Plains. We made one some years ago. I'll see if I can send you a few photos.

[@stewartrv]

I think you should get some canvas (or else a tarp) and stick under now before you cover it with brush etc. It's almost impossible to keep the water out else and come the winter you will need to make sure that water can't get in. I guess you already know about: carlisle195 YT channel? If not have a look he has build a LOT of shelters. Best of luck with it!

[@prodoverjeff2876]

It's a ton of work you are doing right now, and during the autumn, you will be feeling quite at home in your teepee. But by mid winter, you will be feeling rather cramped, especially if the weather keeps you inside. But you are only young once, so enjoy building Beckyville!

[@redrobot8925]

saw you in another video where you found a geocache. as you were talking about it you started to abbreviate to 'cache' (pr. 'cash') but were pronouncing it 'cachet' (pr. 'cash-ay'). a cache is a secret horde, cachet means prestige. ive seen ancient hut archaeology and the base of the hut is a pit maybe a metre deep dug into the ground with a roof over the top. i dont understand this. if it rains you wd think the bottom of the hut wd get flooded. in WW2 people made bomb shelters in their gardens - corrugated steel sheets made into an 'n' shape for the roof and a sunken floor. they used to flood. so when you are digging yor teepee floor lowere than the ground around it i am thinking this is not good. traditional tee pees in N. America were covered in buffalo skins. this is not a 'canvas like material' as you described it. it is animal hide. the people that did this were nomads, following the buffalo herds. their descendents prefer to be known as 'native peoples' or 'native americans' (tho they wre there long before anyone had heard of anything called america) and wd not like the word 'indian'. i very much doubt you can waterproof yr tee pee with just leaves and sticks. a dense layer of fir branches may work - like thatch but there doesnt seem to be much of that near where you are. maybe you cd thatch it with sth else. people use straw and river reeds. big job but you dont want to have rain coming in. of course you cd cheat and wrap it in tarps. you use a lighter to start fires so you already have cheating issues. dropping a large log on a few small burning sticks doesnt seem very practical. yr fire cd burn out that way. instead suggest you go from tinder - tiny sticks / bark - small sticks - medium sticks - logs. have them ready in piles by the place you are making the fire have seen some good female bushcrafting from survival lilly and wild woman bushcraft. unfortunately all 3 of you are meat eaters. it is completely possible to survive in a C21st western society with no animal products in yr diet and participating in the slaughter of animals - either in the wild or via the supermarket - is totally unnecessary. if you eat meat or other animal products you are cruel. simple.

[@mycroftholmes8353]

Girl Outdoors you have laid a good foundation to your channel. Please take this as constructed criticism, I think you need to add a bit more meat on the bone ie better content to improve the channel. As for purchasing survival sillys knife, maybe a little more research is needed in future. No doubt you like her and want to support her channel, but you have just been ripped off.

[@phillee2814]

Becky, please be very very careful about fires inside - check on Stephanie Morpeth's channel on just what the result can be of insufficiatly ventillated fires. The traditional pole and hide Native American tipi used by the nomadic tribes has to have the top vanes each side of the chimney hole adjusted so that the space at the top always faces away from the wind, to suck the smoke out, but you always need to make sure that air to feed the fire can get IN, and digging a small trench from right outside the tipi into the firepit and covering it with flat stones is probably the most authentic method af doing that without just allowing the inside to be draughty. Check every single time you use it that it isn't blocked (no fire means no draught, so they make attractive nesting sites when not in use), by taking a smoking stick from the fire and holding it by the outside of the air feed - the smoke should be sucked in. Stay safe.

[@alfheib]

To help you in your shelter build . Survival Lilly built a shelter where she built an air tunnel underground to provide fresh air to her fire pit .. It also aid in exhausting the smoke out of the shelter .. Also some of the other bush crafter I watch use a co2 detector in any enclosed shelter they are in with a fire in. .. Also do not forget your folding shovel as you keep building the shelter you may never know when it will come in handy ..

[@mramink]

I like and be amazed by your courage and also your creativity in surviving in the wild. the spirit continues to be creative. regards from Indonesia😎👍

[@teteleiri8499]

The way u make shelter,cutting wood with left hand is so impressing. Make more videos,waiting for that.

[@torehaaland6921]

This is a shelter with a very wide distribution. It is still used by the tsaataan herders in Mongolia, it was, and partly is, still used among traditional groups in Sibiria.it is still used as a workplace shelter among the sami people of Scandinavia. And finally, it was the shelter of several north American tribes. Truly a winner of a shelter.

[@petewatson4353]

What sort of animal hide are you going to use for the covering? Can you also tell me how you are going to waterproof it and lastly how much are you paying your dealer in Holland for all the drugs you are on? Cheers for that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@antje8303]

I had to interrupt the video to tell you how this is like meditation to me, watching you light a fire, setting up shelter ect. especially with the slow camera moves. It seems like today all films and videos are so fast paced and hectic. I can really feel how calming and soothing it must be to just spend even one day and night like this. And may I say how brave you are at your age and as a woman to sleep alone in a wood? I am twice your age and wish I´ll muster up the courage to do this even one time in my life! Keep doing what you do!

The Tipi construction looks pretty interesting, it will be exciting to follow how it will turn out, may well see that there is a lot of work to be done. Just have to comment on the food, see it's just the kind of food that suits my taste, that steak made me fly up off the couch and I'm not quite landed yet. At time stamp 17.24 there is something passing by in the background, is it cars on a road or ??? So now my patience is again stressed for the wait for the next video episode. 😁
