Cowboy Camping Feb 2022

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

I posted the link to Nessmuk’s free pdf book in the video description area.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

@The guerillas' Hide good to know, I was thinking about doing an audio version myself.

[@darrellwituik]

Excellent! Great work. Can't wait for spring and this snow to disappear.

[@e.macdonaldoutdoors7825]

Good for you for doing what Nessmuk encouraged...get out and do it; be an "Outer"! Since the 1960's 😲 he's been one of my guides, too. Even here on the ranch. My wife's suggestion was to not attempt too many new things all at once. Pick one thing, food cooking/brewing, shelter, bedding, etc., and try to improve that. Move on from there. Cowboy bedroll is called a "soogan" and is quite similar to what you've got started. Black tea is not cowboy coffee so don't brew it the same. Put the loose tea in a cheesecloth "sachet" and steep it in the individual cup. Old cowboy saying: he who leaves his food out won't eat bread in the morning! 😊 Good luck and keep up the effort and good work. As always, like your clothes.

Your editing gets better with each video! The quality of these just keep getting better and better. Always a good day when you upload!

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thanks! I’m working at it, I know how painful it is to watch poorly done videos.

[@d2nasty696]

Being organized and having things needed for when going to spend the night somewhere is key. Nice goat 🤙

[@chebby3033]

Good stuff. Nice to see your "little helpers". Thanks for the link.

[@MrMrBiggles]

That olive oil keeps leaking, that bag will be waterproof in no time, lol. Great video, thank you for taking the time to make it.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Hey good point Haha!

[@obteniendose]

I really appreciate that you use all natural stuff and find out how to do things the old ways. So may outdoor people are practically addicted to nylon, polyester, plastic, blow up mats, etc. But the way you do things is different. I hope one day I could figure it out, I struggle because I don’t have land and so cant have a horse. Ive been unemployed for a while and struggling. But one day I will have the resources to try it out the way you do.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thank you, it’s been a rewarding journey. I posted a couple of vids demonstrating a pack using my tarp if that’s something you’d like to try.

[@jankopransky2551]

About tea- my favorite way is to use a metal container with holes and a little chain attached. It's basicaly a reusable teabag. As far as I know, it should be historicaly accurate for 19th century, but better check is it's true.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Now that you mention it I should check into that. I do have one of those.

[@JakobElbaek]

I can not say whether George Washington Sears (Nessmuk) would have been proud of you, but I can say that he would be happy for you due to the journey you are currently undertaking - and where you are on that journey. Sears is one of my personal favourite writers - and his philosophy regarding what Nature is and what man is (and could/should be) in that regard, has always served as a great inspiration for me. Maria enjoyed your video as well - and says that your bread maybe did not rise bacause your water was too hot. Personally I think it could also have to do with the acidity of the tea water.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

That’s awesome you’re so familiar with him and yes, that’s a good way of putting it- he’d be happy or proud of the journey I’m on. I’ll have to try the sodium bicarbonate again. I just might this morning.

[@BlairBurnz]

Great video man I’m glad I checked out your channel. Loved the quote.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Awesome, thanks Blair.

[@preacherjayk]

I use lamp wick to make char cloth, it's been around since around 2300BC so it would've likely been available at that time , and now days it's really cheap, in bulk on Amazon 12 foot of it is like $7,, it works excelent. and 12 foot will make about 200 fires, Love the series too by the way,,

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

That’s one I hadn’t heard of yet, thanks for the input!

[@scenicdriveways6708]

Looks peaceful. Nice video Richard.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thanks John

[@mildbill2806]

Mighty newsy lowdown of what a feller mite pack for a three day roughing out. Purty shure the bread would be my hardest thang to make rite as well. Many thanks for yur vids.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thanks pardner, I’ve done a decent job of it before. I’ll keep at it and get it right.

[@willowlaken6303]

If I missed it forgive me. I add a bit of acid to my liquid to get the baking soda to rise bread. A shot of vinegar, or making with keifer or clabber. A sourdough liquid with flour and baking soda sifted in will react and rise as well. Thank you very much for the link to the book.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thanks for the info, I did use some cream of tartar but I didn’t get much of a rise.

[@davidrobert4246]

You are so under-rated mate! Your videos are excellent. Thanks for uploading.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thank you

[@joseuribe430]

try making char out of 1/4" twine, or adding melted paraffin to the same size twine

[@matthewtmarfield7861]

George Washington Sears ( "Nessmuk" ) is an old favorite of mine. Horace Kephart is another great "Outer" Author; I recommend his "Camping and Woodcraft", Univ. of Tennessee Press, 1988. It's a great little hardcover edition! I got a kick out of you taking the "kids" camping! I would worry about them getting into the chow.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Yeah they get into things but I live with them quite a bit at home too so they fit into the pack pretty well. Thanks for the Kephart recommendation, I’ll look up his as well.

[@joelmcmahan7386]

Another fine video Richard, that saying you read at the beginning of the video. I really liked, pretty much covered my reasons for going camping. Other then when I camp a mile or two in the woods to save me some walking before daylight when I’m hunting a few miles from any road. Wishing you and your crew the best from me and mine. 👍🎥🥇🥇🥇🦾

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

That’s awesome, thanks Joel. Have you been out lately?

[@joelmcmahan7386]

@@OverOnTheWildSide not in couple of weeks, had sick animals on the farm to deal with and got my lawnmowers torn for a good go tru before mowing season. Got a trip planned next weekend to hunt shed horns and hunt coyotes for two days. Thanks brother, have a great weekend. 💯👍

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

I hope all is well at your place, sounds like some coyotes are about to learn your name.

[@joelmcmahan7386]

@@OverOnTheWildSide I hope so, I still use mouth calls only. Plus have to use a rim fire pistol with less then 6 inch barrel on public when there is no big game season open. So it’s hard to get them in close enough to get many. But I sure enjoy trying it. Me and my little revolver have only taken 6 in 5 years, but it’s just feels good to get one that close and get the job done. Got to invest in one of them electric calls one day. They are just so expensive just to use for coyotes that it’s hard for me to get one. Mouth calls and mouse squeaks are old school predator hunting these days. Thanks again bud, 👍

[@henryscarhead6119]

An 1880's cowboy with a smartphone... lol jk, but still i love it , i love it, love it! You deserve more! PS: did i forget to tell you i love your beard and outfit? LOVE IT AND EVERYTHING YOU DID.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thanks! And yeah, my smartphone is just so handy for certain things.

[@pleitrap7073]

Always well done...

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thank you

[@Rpg39_]

Nice man. I like the setup.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thank you

[@Beardedfurflinger]

Again awesome information & maybe a small indent then lay down the sage might help don't know,the goat is a funny addition seems to have a WTH kind of attitude 😄

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

You nailed it, the goats are the most calm and laidback animals on the place. What do you mean about an indent?

[@Beardedfurflinger]

@@OverOnTheWildSide put a small shallow hole in the ground before you lay the juniper down,might make more level & easier,just a thought

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Ah ok, yes if I camp on ground that can be dug easier I might give that a try. I may go out again soon.

[@roberthambly9926]

Thanks' another good one. Learning a lot from you

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thanks, I appreciate hearing that.

[@crazydaze2792]

I read that book, it was really good!

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Awesome, so far I think you’re the fourth or fifth that’s mentioned they already knew about it. I had no idea it was so well known.

[@normangerring4645]

Keep going, enjoy every episode. Where did you get the boots?

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thank you, I got these at C&C Sutler online.

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

Well I didn’t realize you didn’t like that phase, I just say it for fun, I enjoy my time out in the mountains and ya it’s to get away from Society

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

What did I say I hate?

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

@@OverOnTheWildSide roughing it, I think that one of the first things I said to ya

[@K0GNITION]

Man, being allergic to wool is super unfortunate!

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

It sucks but manageable.

[@K0GNITION]

@@OverOnTheWildSide yeah! Could be worse for sure. I've got this allergic/autoimmune condition that makes my immune system attack my esophagus if I eat anything containing milk proteins. No milk, butter, cheese, chocolate, or most baked goods for me T.T I just found out this year.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Badly? I get something like that from some fruits. Fortunately it wasn’t like peanut allergy people but I stopped and don’t know if it’s worse now or not.

[@K0GNITION]

@@OverOnTheWildSide yeah its worse then your typical itchy throat histamine/igE response. In my case my immune system recognizes the milk proteins as a threat and sends white blood cells. The inflammation in my esophagus leads to scarring over time and can actually start causing severe swallowing issues. There are people with my condition who can't figure out what proteins are causing the reaction and even some that end up with such severe swallowing issues that they need a feeding tube.. really awful, but I'm doing well enough now that I don't need daily meds and feel pretty normal as long as I don't eat dairy.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Wow that sucks, glad you’ve got it under control.

[@magicworldbyjorg]

what kind of cloth bags are you using for carrying your food?

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

They’re probably the linen ones. I have a couple cotton canvas also.

[@joseuribe430]

have you tried 1lb of paraffin to 8oz of mineral oil recipe?

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

I haven’t, the paraffin often flakes eventually and I want to avoid that.

[@joseuribe430]

@@OverOnTheWildSide I used that recipe to oil/wax my carhartt. So far so good. You will get a patina, naturally. But it sheds rain and looks cool. A bit stiff, but I guess that comes with the territory
