Father and son bushcraft camping in USMC bivy and sleeping bag

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Looked to be great father son time together.

[@robertsbushcraft]

That it was, we have a grand time out in the wild, Mr. Lonnie!

[@kennethsampson8014]

I am from Michigan. I so like this father and son team . Great job! I watch you guys all all the time. Thanks for the teaching.

[@robertsbushcraft]

Awesome! Thank you for the encouragement, Kenneth!

Great cool weather lightweight setup, guys. -LB

[@robertsbushcraft]

Thank you! We really do enjoy these USMC systems!

[@joeyjones9041]

Sorry about your back, i know the feeling. I was in a really bad car wreck on Christmas Eve and i died a few times, had to have 5 surgeries within 5 days and it'll be close to a year before i can walk and get out into the woods again. I typically carry a premade ridgeline with prusiks already on it too. I use the Marlin Spike hitch and Trucker's Hitch combo, which i learned from Corporals Corner. Glad you're doing better and back out there. Can't wait to see the next one guys. Take care during all this Covid 19 stuff.

Joey Jones Get well soon Joey!

[@robertsbushcraft]

Whoa Joey! You've had quite the ordeal! Hey we'll pray for your health and speed in getting back up on your feet. Get well soon man!

[@joeyjones9041]

@@robertsbushcraft thank you guys so much, it means more than you know

[@secretsquirrell13]

Done a lot of hiking and camped out in the mountains of colorado for 6 months, so I know a thing or two about cooking mountain house. Pour the water up to the top of the food in the pouch and let it set for 10. Then give it a stir, you’ll see it’s still dry, so add just a lil bit and stir repeating the process till you get it right where you want it. Can’t wait to do stuff like this with my son, hope to have him out there as soon as he’s ready..... good job on the vids!

[@robertsbushcraft]

Thanks for the tip, secretsquirrell13! My best advice to you is not to wait, get your son out as soon as you can, he'll never know life without the outdoors.

[@steveturner3999]

Thanks once again for a great video guys. I love the relationship you two have. It is a true example for all men, fathers and sons. Plus you go play in the woods! I hope to get out soon but like there, here in lower Alabama the temps are crazy. 80+ degrees here this week. Went from ideal camping weather to snakes, ticks and heat in about 12 days. I’m really itching to get that tarp. I have two of the Army issued UCP camo but can’t find a Marpat in good shape. The Fire Force looks like the ticket for sure. Stay safe and God Bless!

[@robertsbushcraft]

Thank you for the encouragement, Steve. Gabriel and I have a grand time together out in the woods. We prefer colder weather for our camping. It was 90 degrees here in NC today. Good luck with the tarp!

[@chrisp3257]

Great video guy’s, dont ever stop doing what you do. 👍 favorite crew! Stay safe and take care.

[@robertsbushcraft]

Hey thanks for the encouragement, Chris!

[@raphmaster23]

Oh gosh what a view to wake up to❤️

[@jeffrichards5106]

Great overnighter guys. Hope your back get's better Conan. I can relate, about 15 years ago I had a pinched nerve and compressed disc in my back. The most pain I ever felt in my life. Thank God I'm alright now.

[@robertsbushcraft]

Amen to that, Jeff!

[@brnrecluse2946]

Love that sleep system carrier for your Dad's sleeping bag! Seal line protection combined with improvised versatility. I'd like to use it with ole' ALICE. Take care guys!

[@robertsbushcraft]

That's an old sleep system carrier, GI M1967 Sleeping Gear Carrier, and it's a really handy piece of gear.

[@greywolfoutdoorshomestead9962]

Keep these great videos coming. God bless you and your family

[@robertsbushcraft]

Hey thanks, graywolf!

[@odgreenoutdoors20]

Great video as always, always love y’all’s gear, going out tomorrow night and testing out my new set up with the backwoods bungalow, god bless

[@robertsbushcraft]

That OneTigris Backwoods Bungalow looks like a nice piece of gear. Good luck, OD!

[@freedomdove]

I'm so glad I'm used to drinking organic instant coffee. It's so easy to make and it tastes just fine to me. I've been using it every day for a decade. If I wanted or needed more than a cup at a time, I would use a french press or something similar, but for my needs instant coffee works well.

[@robertsbushcraft]

I've never developed a taste for instant coffee. I can drink it, but, I sure prefer the drip or french pressed ground.

[@varnellhopkinsiii6863]

Sensational! I love these overnighters that y'all do. Good food, great gear, (Sorry you got cold Conan!) and I'm sure a good time was had! Thanks so much for sharing, God bless you guys, keep it up, really appreciate what y'all do!

[@robertsbushcraft]

I think that I am just going to have to pack silkweights sleep garments in all seasons minus the summer. Thanks for the encouragement, JT!

[@kurtsteiner8384]

Its not the equipment, its how its used. There is tons of kit. You just need the basics. Remember it all needs to be varied.

[@robertsbushcraft]

We float somewhere between "minimal" kit and "take all you can carry".

[@elvergonzalesruiz9780]

im in the mexican army n i need one of those sleeping bag bro. nice gear

[@robertsbushcraft]

Hey thanks for watching and commenting, Elver. Good luck to you in the army!

[@margaretadler6162]

I'm going to have to give that biscuits and gravy a try. I would be really good with a couple of eggs! I'm in Vietnam for now hopefully will able to get home in March. Videos like this really make me homesick for bushcrafting! It looks like you two are having a great time! Beautiful country. Just subcribed. ATB, Sam Adler

[@robertsbushcraft]

Fried or scrambled eggs are a sure match, Sam! Thank you for watching and the sub!

[@mmaheroes5581]

Hello !! So nice 👍👍👍

[@robertsbushcraft]

Well hello and thank you, Mardanoff!

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

It must be nice to be able to find such things as the USMC bivy in good condition and not completely bagged out south of the 49th. I have spent a few days refurbishing a decent one that I found locally (do NOT buy these online if you are Canadian) to decent condition but they really aren't worth it unless you can inspect in person and it is for a steal.

[@robertsbushcraft]

My suggestion...buy one of these new. It's worth the price in my opinion.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

@@robertsbushcraft up here north of the 49th the price for the new ones is actually more than a new hooped Australian bivy in multicam.

[@WH6FQE]

Yes, the new poncho liner is reversible woodland/desert MARPAT digital.

[@robertdutcher8081]

You ever catch many fish using that setup? I would think river fishing would be a lot harder than lake fishing.

[@robertsbushcraft]

I do! Hickory shad are running now, we just didn't get any recorded being caught.

[@freedomdove]

Not exactly what I would call biscuits and gravy but I suppose it would do in a pinch. I guess that's the whole point of these ready-to-eat meals...

[@steveturner3999]

If you’ve never tried them don’t knock them. They’re great!

[@freedomdove]

@@steveturner3999 Yeah, I would have to reserve full judgement until I was able to try it. Lol.

[@steveturner3999]

Hope you have an opportunity. Mountain House is sold out just about everywhere due to the current crisis.

[@freedomdove]

Maybe when things settle down I will order some to try. I've had MREs but that was decades ago. I presume the quality is better nowadays...

[@robertsbushcraft]

It doesn't look like the out homemade biscuits and gravy but it's close. This was our first time trying this one. Mount House is good stuff.

[@BabaORiley500]

What’s the nickname for those lanyard straps with knots every ~2” seen at 7:22, I can’t remember and it’s driving me crazy

Very Cool video Curry! I am trying to get all my gear together so I can be enjoying that too! Do you only use your filter for the water you use or do you have a canteen?Remember, no fish pics = no fish! lol Thanks again! SR

[@robertsbushcraft]

We always fill up our canteens and water bladders. Depending on how long we'll stay we'll even fill up our 5 quart collapsible canteens as well.

Permethrin keeps them away but that is a tick bed for sure!
