Fjallcrow Rucksack trial plus star fire willow cordage and trapping

Bushcraft and Adventure is what we live for. Myself and Billy dog love nothing more than being outside testing our skills in any environment and we don't mind a little filming along the way on some of our trips. In this film we are once again out and about showcasing what we do and passing on skills and experience to the great KZbin audience and our friends who watch our films. #Bushcraft #Survival #Livelifeoutdoors

Enjoyed watching the video my friend.

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Cheers Lonnie, good to know I've had one of the main men watching one of my films 👍🙂. You got me smiling 🙂. Hope all's good over there in the far North. Just back from a short canoe trip and a meet with another youtuber. Was good 🙂

Great watch mate and great bushcraft skills 👍🏼

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Thank You 👍. Cheers fella it was a good day in the forest 🙂

I liked the fire, not seen one quite like that with the three pieces. Great skills thanks for sharing. Fjallcrow.. love it! Atb Joss

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Cheers Joss 👍. Aye it's a good fire. Better in warm climates but works well over here with a little maintenance and burns a low amount of fuel, lasting a long time. Great for one pot cooking 🙂

[@hackneeey]

Nice wildlife shots at the beginning Rick , nice to see the shelter going strong and lots of good information as usual. All the best Mick

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Cheers Mick, aye I enjoy doing a bit of filming . I've seen loads of owls lately and a good few foxes but when i didn't have my camera with me which is about right . Cheers Mick enjoy the rest of your weekend fella. 👍

I’m so glad I clicked on this. I love this song! Perfect for the wonderful video. Thanks for sharing :) Mari

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Cheers Mari, it's a beautiful song for sure 🙂. Thanks for watching and have a great week. Hope you've got some more good adventures planned 🙂

[@FunsizedEarthling]

RickT Outdoor/Adventure Yes! And I’m also a fan of Fjallraven but I think I prefer your Fjallcrow better. 👍🏼 It kinda reminded me of home, our mountain farmers use those kind of stuff a lot and I used them whenever I go catch some frogs. It brought me back to those times I used to bring our farmers lunch at the farm. Simple but happy days! Cheers, Mari

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

@@FunsizedEarthling ahhh that's fantastic Mari, that's made my day knowing I've triggered some lovely memories 🙂. I like practicing skills using the natural environment and putting what I make to use. I'll use it for foraging but probably not for carrying my kit in the mountains 😉. Really like your films and I'm looking forward to getting up in the mountains again myself real soon 🙂

[@FunsizedEarthling]

RickT Outdoor/Adventure nice! I wish I could say I made the bag too. Mountain adventures are always something to look forward. I’ll be keeping an eye out for the videos if you’re filming it. Mari

How i am doing... wel we have a heatwave this week it did get up 40c, today it was only 35c, so i'm melting. 🥵 Let's hope for the rain to get up here where i life. Nice backpack, nice brew, nice trap. See you and Billy in the next time.

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Cheers Tinus, haha it's way too hot isn't it lol 🙂. I always prefer the other 3 seasons. Wasn't too bad here this morning making that film, about 16 degrees with a bit of rain in the air. Hope the weather breaks for ya and gets a bit fresher 🙂. Thanks Tinus, have a great weekend. Billy says Hi 👍

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

I think I'm first lol.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Good attitude about practicing bushcraft skills bud..... ya never know as you say. Cheers, Wade 🍻

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Aye cheers Wade, you never know do ya and I intend to travel further afield on occasion if i get the chance so maybe those skills will come in handy one day 🙂. Besides that we just love playing in the woods don't we 😀👍🌲🌲🌲

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Wow that’s a cool rucksack! That figure 4 was big enough to catch a bear! Lol

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Haha cheers Dominic lol, it was a beast wasn't it 😀😀. Aye it's a cool little pack, I'm going to use it for foraging 🙂. Cheers Dominic, have a great Sunday 👍

[@markbailey2981]

Great job as always Rick :) Cracking video mate..... You did a nice job of videoing the king fisher :) Camps looking good. Looks like Billy has settled into the place lol. The last time I made a fig 4 trap, it put me in hospital for two days! 16 stitches and a 5 hour operation. I learnt a good lesson that day mate. Love the pack.... you did a cracking job :) I got your email cheers mate. It will be in the post early next week. Have a great week mate, all the best, Mark :)

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Hell fire Mark that's a nightmare. Must have made a mess of ya. Gotta be careful with them. Billy was under no illusions that he had to stay where he was lol. I don't blame ya for not making another since that happened. Aye I was in the right place at the right time for the Kingfisher and was filming some Cormorants roosting, about 30 of em when I looked down and the Kingfisher was on that branch. Cheers for the axe cover Mark you're a generous man and it will get used 🙂. Billy loves that shelter and goes straight in and makes himself a bed. Will be good in winter if it's not been destroyed by then 🙂. Cheers Mark, have a great weekend 🙂👍

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Nice one Rick, I didn’t know it was illegal to trap, glad I dismantled a snare I found on public land last year (which I would have done anyway) but yeah I get you when you say about practicing for knife skills and just learning stuff. Great bag and interesting to learn about how to treat cordage. Cheers, Ant 👍

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Cheers Ant, yeh all transferable skills and techniques, working with natural materials, knife skills, cordage making for some traps, animal knowledge and tracking, etc etc. Just another spoke in the bushcraft wheel 🙂🙂. Cheers Ant

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

I actually have a lot of willows around I'm going to have to try this. That is a really cool little pack Rick. That intro gave me chills my friend. I was taught about Starfire's and crossfire's as a kid I just have never tried it! Looks like it works great!

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Aye cheers Travis 🙂 hope you're having an ace weekend fella and I know it's a cool tune . Made that film this morning before the rain swept in 🙂. Definitely try a star fire when ya get chance. I don't use them very often but they are good ,especially if the wood is really dry 🙂. Cheers fella 👍

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

@@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969 I will for sure Rick. I've been wanting to try some of those traps to. not something I've ever messed with much.

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

@@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman yeah definitely Travis. I like making them and there's loads to go at and try making. I have a selection of about 5 that I know work well and suit various locations. Just be careful though, as Mark said on his comment, the last time he made a figure 4 he ended up in hospital for two days with an operation and stitches 🤨. Cheers Travis 👍👍🙂

[@buzzandselunsupervised649]

As always Rick a very interesting film. Love the bird shots, amazing you got the Kingfisher. What a great project and pmsl at the name and the price, really put a smile on my face. Great stuff mate 👍👍. Interesting thoughts on the trapping and I agree with your philosophy 👍. Cheers Sel

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Cheers Sel, aye loving a bit of wildlife photography at the moment . Cheers mate, thanks for watching and the cool comment as usual 👍. You been out bushcrafting lately ?

[@buzzandselunsupervised649]

Back out at the weekend with Buzz. The RSPB job has been full on. Part of the Nest Protection Team for Hen Harriers and Peregrines. Season coming to an end so get back out and do some filming. We were out about 3 weeks ago and just thought sod it, practice some skills and just enjoy learning again as opposed to thinking about filming. I'm not as natural as you guys. Have a great week pal.

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

@@buzzandselunsupervised649 aye too right Sel, I only film one in every six trips ish. Need to enjoy the forest more than filming 🙂🙂. Just sat on my canoe next to a fire on the banks of Ullswater 🙂👍

Cracking video rick some good skills there mate love the name of ya pack atvb jimmy 😎 😎

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Haha cheers Jimmy, yeah bit of a twist on a well known brand lol 😀😀. Didn't cost me quite as much, just a couple of hours work . Love a bit of messing around with natural containers, I've made a good few this week 🙂. See ya Monday top man 👍

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

@@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969 looks great bet you could sell them 😉😉 looking forward to it rick going to be a great adventure see you Monday mate atvb jimmy 😎 😎

[@GunsKnivesandBeer]

My day is complete! That is an awesome pack you made. Love the way you did the fire. Every time I hear the music you use, it reminds me when I lived on the coast. I've camped in West Virginia many times. You would love it. You need to do a Billy channel LOL. Looks like 500 subs are just a few days away! I like the figure four trap. Do you have the Professional Guides Manual? Great little book. It's a states thing, but I just might send you a copy. Tons of traps in that.

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Hiya Mitchell 🙂 I don't have that book, is it good ? Yeah the subs are moving up slowly lol thanks to you. I think you got me a chunk a while back 😀 and they are slowly ticking over. 500 can't be far off 🙂. Haha a Billy channel would be cool, I reckon he would probably do pretty well. I've made quite a few different containers recently, willow baskets and allsorts but I liked making the pack. Not a patch on those ones that you make though Mitchel 😉. I'm going to use it for foraging I think. I reckon I'd love a lot of places over there. There really is some beautiful wild places over there 🙂. Have a fantastic weekend Mitchell and give Disney a stoke from me n Billy 🙂👍
