How to Camp like a Traditional Australian Bushman From 200 Years Ago.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Fascinating video, the gear was heavier but so much tougher than modern gear !! For reference old glass bottles, round meant drinkable, angled or square was normally medicine or poison ! I think this was so people didn't mistake them in the dark...

Yeah it certainly puts a few knots in your shoulder 😆

Hi Luke. I saw a video of Malcolm Douglas. He digs a hole, body length. Lights fire and waits. The when it right covers it with soil. Sleeps on top for a cold night. Tip, he said, make shore the enough soil.

[@TheBeardedBushranger]

Not a bad idea. I should try that one time. Malcolm Douglas was a legend

[@Auntjemmima]

It won’t last for more than a few hours with no oxygen. Hot rocks last a little longer and your camp fire can keep coals all night then you can simple switch the rocks out when it gets cold. Doing winter camping in northern Michigan the nights are long and cold I learned this tip quickly when I was a child living there

[@michalurbanful]

I remember Robert Redford doing that in Jeremiah Johnson. Better use the right amount of dirt ... 😀

[@PhillipStewart-k7f]

Burn wood. Get coal from the fire. Not to hot. Laya bed of coals thin blanket u stay warm all night ❤❤❤❤❤

Luke, The bottle probably contained linament for sore muscles and sprains. My maternal grandfather would be proud of you. He came from Greta South in Vic, was a great horseman and bushman. The Kelly’s were neighbours.

Well if there was any residue in there, it might help my bung muscles in my shoulder from carrying that swag 😆 Great bit of history about your grandfater! I love hearing all the little stories from people and their ansectors .. imagine having the kellys as your nieghbours! My history to Australia only dates back to my grandfather (who migrated here in his early youth) but he did a bit of sheep droving down by warrnambool back in the day.

Thanks Luke and Scotty. I am heartened to see you had troubles with the bow drill fire. I tried that on my last adventure and could not get it all happening either. Plus is is very hard work! I’ll be showing my vain attempts in my next video. Flint and steel is definitely a better option, but I will have another crack at the bow drill sometime. I did manage to get a fire started at home, just need to replicate that in the bush. Really like your videos and your keeping the old skills alive.

[@TheBeardedBushranger]

Cheers mate. Yeah it's quite hard .. since this video was made (1 year ago) I've managed to get the bow drill quite a number of times .. but always with cyprus pine which is obviously not a native!

[@Funkteon]

Half the reason behind the bushcrafting and 'old school gear camper' existence is that the purveyors of this style of camping just desperately want to be stumbled-upon by normal campers who will be jealous of their skills and retro setup. The whole four days I was walking 70km across the Wadi Rum desert with my 55L Tasmanian Tiger Modular Trooper pack full of 1/2 modern and 1/2 bushcrafty gear, I wanted to be stumbled-upon by normies and/or bedouins who would raise an eyebrow at my kit, especially given the fact I took a portable shisha pipe kit and managed to fit a duduk into my bag, an instrument I began learning a bit over two years ago... But alas, I didn't run into a single other person until I made it back to Rum Village. I'm not going to say that the coals and flavoured tobacco, and the duduk were a waste of time (and pack weight), but damn, I would have loved the opportunity to tell a passerby about it.

[@TheBeardedBushranger]
