Your dog loves you and you treat him very well !! I love to see that. Nice video !

[@saxonwarrior388]

That looked like a young adult Bobcat. Fun fact: Mountain Lion is just another name for Cougar, Puma, Panther, Mountain Cat, Mountain Screamer, Painter, Catamount, etc just to name a few. In fact, the cougar has more names than almost any other living mammal, around 40 in English alone. The name they call this large cat simply depends on the location of the country or world you are living in.

[@mickamusgrove]

Next time, get a big pile of coals and use them for heat under your bed. It was used a lot by mountain men when they were traveling.

[@Yogeshvlog1437]

Nice video my friend

[@mr8hyde6]

Not sure how my algorithm played your channel, but, I used to love hiking. Everyday I’d try to get 8-10 miles w my dog. And then I went through a divorce, had several mental health issues, severe as well, and eventually stopped loving anything I used to love. And your channel came on, and for the first time in months, I wanted to hike. Thank you. I really do mean it. I wanted to share it with you, because you made a difference to help me get out of my mind funk.

Cotton balls smeared in petroleum jelly and packed in an empty Altoids Tin are a great choice to take along , it doesn't weigh much or take up much space , but in an emergency can get a fire going pretty quick with your ferro rod , matches , or lighter . I love how you are so cheerful in your appreciation for the great outdoors , cheers to you and Kyro ! ! !

[@nephewbob7264]

Some friendly advice from someone about 3 X your age, who has spent most of his life working and playing in the bush- don't waste time and energy on unnecessary tasks. As example, all that energy you spent sawing firewood could have been better spent collecting firewood, so you don't run out in the night. Good to see you enjoying the outdoors!

[@jimmcd5660]

Awesome video Madison, as others have said, you are a brave girl, especially with those coyotes, their howls freak me out even when I’m laying in bed (completely safe in my cabin lol), let alone camping and completely exposed. I know they are relatively harmless to people, but the howls are so intimidating, you rock, congrats on being a badass.

[@bugoutbrad8395]

Great video Madison. Nice spot to setup too. Ya, I use a big roll up pad. And a down, thick air mattress. Right on the ground. It's expensive. But a lot less work. Than a platform. It was fun to watch, you make the platform. Lol. Just kidding. Bushcraft is fun to do. Cheers 🍻

[@zerkfitting]

Coyotes are harmless. Grow a pair Jimmy

[@scottchase1972]

@@zerkfitting If she's gonna be a Survivalist she needs a Gerber BMF beside her in the sleeping bag. The extra large model :P I always thought a compressed air-horn might be handy as well as the bear-spray. Of course a 44 Magnum or Glock 10 mm would be more ideal but she's in Canada ;-) And lastly, whilst in the bush ALWAYS have an awesome Bowie knife on your side.

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

Hi Madison. To keep the wood from binding your saw, overhang the log and cut on the overhanging side. The log you cut will be cantilevered, and gravity will open it up as you cut deeper. No binding. Also, it is best to clear the ground bare before making a fire so as not to ignite any organic materials, grass, roots, etc.

[@rainers.2080]

Last January I gave myself a birthday gift of a fishing trip to Patagonia, Chile. When traveling from lodge to lodge, I noticed lots of hikers walking the Carretera Austral. I asked our driver, Pepe, about it and he said people from all over the world go there to hike all the way to Tierra del Fuego. He said they refer to them as mochileros. Now that would be an international adventure!

Cotton balls do work well in calm conditions, but soaking them in petroleum jelly makes them almost wind/waterproof and they burn a lot longer. It's my go to fire starter. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing

Yeah, pot of melted old candles, add half a cup of lamp oil (bought from the store), and dip those small round flat cotton make-up pads - for 2 secs - in the liquid (use tweezers) and lay out on tin foil to dry/cool. In 30 mins you'll have stacks of wax discs that are flat and waterproof. Rip them open and light - they stay lit in windy wet conditions for about 10 mins. ENJOY!

This literally fuels the fire in me to go winter camping

[@MadisonClysdalee]

Mission accomplished

[@Tallulahswonderland]

PSA To use dead trees instead of live trees. It’s drier and way better for burning and is essential for self and environmental preservation to be properly practiced. While live trees can be useful in some unique situations, especially when we’re doing it just for the fun, experience and knowledge of it there is truly no need to cut down a live tree for bush craft. Call me a hippie but I had to use dead and some live branches to get my vehicle unstuck from deep snow in the woods and thank the Earth and the tree when I need to take even twigs. Be mindful of the planet throughout all your adventures, part of leave no trace includes causing no harm to the practice of preserving the environment. Awesome video regardless, of course survival experiences, minimal camping and the like is a unique skill everyone should be more inclined to understand and participate in so I’m celebrating your experience and thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@acrossculturalconsulting]

I spent 9 years in Kenya and wanted to go trout fishing near Mount Kenya. And the mountain itself is a great hike/climb. You'd also get the the chance for a "typical" safari adventure.

You are way braver than I am. Putting yourself out there with all that wildlife and really going for it. Below freezing temps too. Great job with the sleeping platform and the tarp cover. That's a lot of work but being out in nature with your pup and getting all that experience has got to feel like a great accomplishment. 👍

[@Bossman68123]

This lady is good. First time watcher, I’ve subscribed. I like that camera is always close to her etc and she doesn’t see, to do too many (none so far) of the shots where they leave the camera in a place, walk past it and far away and then they obvs have to walk back to get it. These videos seem natural. I may be wrong cos I’m only like 15 mins into it 😂

[@COOSA6870]

It would be a lonely world without our pets! Great video, we really enjoyed watching. I love seeing the different landscapes in other countries. I'm 56 years old and I've never heard of a coyote jacket for our fur babies. 🫣 I should get out more.😅 God bless and stay safe 🙏

[@doughoffart1247]

Looked like a fun adventure, minus the poop and bones! For a good quality camp axe, I’d recommend the Gränsfors Bruk Small Forest Axe. About $220 CAD. Very packable, but effective. And for possible international trips, I would recommend: The Inca Trail in Peru, The Tour of Mount Blanc (TMB: France, Italy, Switzerland) or the Torres del Paine trail in Patagonia, None are as long as the Everest trek, except maybe the TMB, but still good trips. And for a slightly longer trip, the GR11 across the Pyrenees in Spain (800-900 km) is fun ;) Keep the adventures coming and be safe!

[@TenthCrane2788]

For winter camping get a pair of slip-on, insulated, water-resistant, anti-slip sole camping booties. You can wear them in your sleeping bag too!

[@TenthCrane2788]

For winter camping try using adhesive body warmers that you stick onto your clothes. They last 10 hours. They cost less than $1 each. You could also place these inside your boots during the night. Putting on warm boots in the morning will bring a smile to your face.

[@dutchyjhome]

Where do you find the courage to undertake such endeavor... sleeping in the middle of nature at freezing temperatures with all kinds of wildlife fauna around you... wow....chapeau !

[@nadenichka]

The best way to blow a lot of oxygen into fire is by using a small / medium pipe can be part of your key holder or even holder for magnesium fire rod. Using that is giving a concentrated air flow to fire. Very useful and easy to use.

Great video! Love your bravery and motivation. I think a long axe is much safer as well. If it glances off the log while splitting it, it's much more likely to sink into the ground and not hit you. Thanks for the video!

[@jasond4113]

Great video. I live in coyote thick woods and I like to leash my dog at night. They will sometimes lure an unsuspecting one out of camp, acting as if they want to play. Exciting night for sure!

[@jasonfitzpatrick414]

Since we are all hiking/camping experts, I'll just say that sleeping on the soft ground is better than on logs. And there is no need to saw and split wood, just put one end of the log in the fire and let it burn. Scoot it farther into the fire when you need to, you can even lay the center in the fire and let it burn in two. Of course, you can place multiple log ends into the fire. Looks fun. Maybe you can go back to Utah and bike out somewhere and make a fifty mile trip or something.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Follow and enjoy your video's .... Love hiking/backpacking/camping with my dog ,, BEST trail companion to be had ..... For solo backpacking , I would suggest getting a brown, olive green or camo colored tarp/tent .. dozens of tarp setup videos online to cover the different weather conditions .... I realize conditions here are pretty wet but if going to have a campfire ,, to clear forest floor at least a 6 foot fire area to build your fire ring in ,, and DON"T burn a complete log as an all night fire ... Process all firewood needed and extinguish thoroughly when done with ,, cold to touch ... some of these long logs can stay burning in the middle for days ,, until a forest fire starts ... same with sub-surface tree roots ...

For your next trip I recommend you go to Patagonia in Argentina. You can do everything you listed and it will be very cheap if you bring USD, the South is also the safest region of the country. The food is of high quality and delicious, and the region has some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet.

[@danbar32]

I bought a really cool bushcraft hatchet and realized it was too small for splitting wood. To replace it I got a 2# cheap one off Amazon with a fiberglass handle that works fine. For your longer trip how about you start at Manning Park and go south bound on the PCT for a long section hike. It is a really scenic part of the trail and no expensive international travel.

[@nommadars]

First time viewer. Wow where did you learn so much Deep woods skills? Super great job except you need to clear all brush to bare ground at least 2-3’ around your fire pit to stop a forest fire that could kill you.

A great thing to have in your pocket at night would be the Nitecore TM9K tactical flashlight. Its' super compact and has enough zapping power to frazzle the eyes of any creature snooping around. Rendering them useless basically lol (Temporarily of course) Plus it will also illuminate a football field sized area if you need that too haha. Maybe they will send you one if you give them a shout-out.

Hey Madison, I love your videos. I also like to camp out the way you do and can highly recommend Norway for some great hikes and loads of opportunities to wild camp. I can also recommend the West highland way in scotland, it takes you past a distillery and some great views. It is 160 km and doable in 6 days with wildcamping spots if you dont mind a little bit of rain. I'm gonna go hike the peak of the balkans in the summer which might also be a great adventure for you to do. I als heard great stories about Iceland, about the wildcamping and the sightseeing but it is still on my to do. Hope this gives you some ideas for your international trip! Good luck and keep making these awesome videos!

[@antonia4722]

Hey Madison..just found you..subbed! Great video! If you don't mind a couple of simple bits of advice from an old experienced outdoors hag..Cut your wood on the free end side of the support..that way the blade doesn't bind in the cut. Never let your fire go out!! Sleeping is when you are at most danger from animals and the fire helps keep them away..and keeps you warm! Essential in sub zero temps when you are cold and slow...and animals are hungry! When learning Bushcraft try to be with someone..preferably someone experienced. It can go wrong very fast. Bloody well done though! You have guts which is so nice to see! 🥰

[@andrewhenney]

Yes the video was fun have a nice 1.

[@georgemoutafis4399]

Nice video! A couple of remarks I would like to add is first off always use a wooden baton to split wood using your knife. Using the poll of an axe or anything metallic for that matter or a rock is not only detrimental to the knife but very dangerous too as it may cause metallic splinters to hit you in the face or, even worse, in the eye. Second, for an overnight like this one the fire to have is a long fire not just a fun looking bone fire. Take care.
