7 Days Bushcraft Trip - Nature Photography and Camping

7 days in Denmark together with Bertram. Camping in the woodlands doing trips to the coast and a lake to photograph birds and landscapes.
Location: Denmark
Date: November 2020 (7 days)
Day: 11°C (52°F)
Night: 2°C (36°F)
------------------------------------
Bertram's video: • 7 days bushcraft trip ...
Bertram is a blacksmith and bushcrafter sharing his trips and skills on youtube. Bertram has made some of the b-roll in this video.
------------------------------------
A few questions:
1. What tent are you using?
Tentipi Safir 9
2. Is it safe to use fire inside the tent?
These tents are made in a shape that allows the use of a campfire. They work a little like a chimney. It can be a smoky experience to stay inside, if you are not using dry firewood and preferable smaller pieces. Another option is to use a stove in the tent.
3. What are you eating and drinking on this trip?
On the firs day we baked a lot of "Snobrød" - the Danish name for the bread twisted around sticks.
Water, flour, east and salt. Rested for an hour and baked for around 15 minutes.
We also made a lot of smoked and partly dried meat for the rest of the trip.
We had duck and fresh oysters.
We brought water from home and supplied with water from the lakes on the meadow.
Juniper tea and of course coffee for me.
4. Why are you leaving your camera equipment outside the tent?
I always tries to avoid condensation and the best way is to avoid fast temperature changes like taking the equipment from outside and into a warm tent. Also I do not want the equipment to stay for longer periods in the smoke.
5. Why are you sleeping in a hammock and what brand is it?
I was introduced to hammocks a few months ago by my friend Don Von Gun who is a bushcrafter and KZbinr: / sorenanker
I really like the fact that it is extremely light and takes up very little space in my backpack and at the same time the comfort is brilliant. The underquilt makes it warm and the tarp turns it into a very nice shelter. The hammock I am using is a Warbonnet and it was given to me by Don Von Gun.

[@silentguy111]

I love the quiet.

[@shantanughosh4666]

Your videos are not only a treat for the eyes, but also a soothing music to the soul. Really love watching them.

[@ivanponomarev4018]

When you realize that you are subscribed to both of you and then two videos come out at once and it turns out that you know each other! Nice shock!)

[@pcje]

me too XD

[@Bushcraftvn]

I watched Bertram's video then I knew you two were friends. It's fun to have friends with the same hobby of going camping

[@bardbarian_dad]

I HAVE DESPERATELY BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COLLABORATION AND IT HAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!!!

[@d.m.3013]

This is not the first time.

[@jean-marcschwartz2525]

Super, glad you and Bertram are friends. He's a great guy and I follow his channel for a long time now. Great video. Take care Morten.

[@JH-qv3xv]

I put on a fresh pot of coffee for some aroma, got out my camp chair, turned down the lights and joined right in. Hope you didn't mind. What an enjoyable experience you captured. Thanks

[@MuziAntics]

I didn’t know how much I needed this cross over until now

[@naturalworldalex]

Wow Perfekt... Klasse.

[@richardfreeman5123]

I'm in Australia, I watch all your content, thank you it's excellent, but was glad to see the trade marks of Bertram our resident blacksmith, his cinematography is excellent, I knew it was him in your video well before I saw him as he has a particular way with his bush craft, interlocking forked stickers, his kettle with years of use upon it and many other tell tale signs in spring time, fishing, tents, fires etc...Please take care of him he is one of your National treasures.... Ricardo from Australia

[@merkin22]

As I was watching this I said out loud to myself, "Oh, I've got to learn how to do that for my next" hiking trek in the mountains!" when you were hanging the pot over the fire with the adjustable line. And voila you show us how at the end; and quite simple. Thanks.

[@phillloyd47]

That duck looks delicious! And Bjorn looks happy you're home.

[@palaksharma7961]

While watching this video I gone deep inside nature and I was not thinking of anything. Nature is super cool. Thank you Sir very much Love from India sir

[@engin_senli]

I was just before some weeks thinking "Wouldn't it be nice if Morten and Bertram go out together?". And now you did it... I think I have mentals powers ;-). Greetings from the cabin. Engin

[@oiavh]

I knew it! I thought about Bertram when you said you will be going with a friend and do some bushcraft. So cool. Two of my favourite youtubers together 😀

[@egoet]

The behind the scene techniques are super cool! Thanks for sharing Morten.

[@antonoat]

To enjoy nature you have to become part of it, this is what you teach us! Thank you, so peaceful where you were!

[@georgemontfort8559]

Morten brother u are inspiration for many ,happy to feel the wildlife and photography

[@OrazioScuderiEtneo71NaturaViva]

I from indonesia, I know this video from betrham channel. I enjoy watching this video.

[@jklbd4815]

Your videos are so pleasing. Keep this going.

[@ElusiveFrame]

You're probably one of the only KZbinrs out there who can be quiet through the entire video and I wouldn't mind. Thank you for sharing that experience!

[@WaechterDerNacht]

really enjoing those videos, after a day at the office with an occasional glimpse at the window, wishing i was out in the forest or in the fields they always manage to take me out there atleast once during the work-week. Really looking forward to the next one already, and the calender!

[@regino-paisdeovejas]

What beauty, place and photographs, can you be proud of what you do, greetings from Spain

[@mikecrowley6485]

Great video Morten, great tip also for the two exposures its something I must try 👍🏻

[@zenphotojourney]

I need to try that too. It would be so much easier than compositing two pictures in post.

[@mikecrowley6485]

@@zenphotojourney For sure, i'm looking forward to giving it a try.

[@chenjihan]

真喜歡你們的風格，自然、寧靜、平和、緩慢

[@42Siren]

Time to make a cup of hot coffee and watch this... and ofcourse I liked and commented before even watching... :)

[@michailmenegakis125]

Amazing my friend...You are not a industry artist you are an artist in the industry

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

When you have been waiting a year for Bertram, wondering when he will appear and he pops up on another one of your other favorite quiet creator channels, it’s like all your Christmas’s came at once. Dave from New Zealand.

[@florianbetke]

Nice Video Morten. I would enjoy more Making-Ofs and Behind the Scenes. Bjørn is well camouflaged on the fur during the behind the scenes from 20:54. Didn´t notice him until you pet him. Greetings to Bjørn!

[@johncreen5957]

Your vlogs are on a different level, and your photography is totally amazing, so inspirational

[@adam-qu6dh]

even though as much as i like you taking photos or showing off your bushcraft skills for me the best part of the video was when you and Beltram were sitting on the edge of a cliff and trying to juggle with those pieces of stones while having a laugh. only if more people tried to enjoy what nature is capable of giving them.. fantastic video. i cannot wait for the christmas specials!

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks a lot Adam. I love that scene as well. A great memory of an awesome trip.

[@4treKGaming]

I wish i had that friend who likes photography and camping

[@Shinson_music]

I received the beautiful calendar from you today :) really, very beautiful pictures. I've already found a very nice place to hang it up. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

[@MortenHilmer]

I'm so glad to hear Jan. Thanks for the nice compliment

[@chewmintzer5598]

Great video on the outdoor inspired photography and bushcraft. It draws me into the scene in your channel as always. You are awesome man.

[@briandaddona7485]

Bertram videos have brought me indescribable comfort during the pandemic. I am pleased to now find your channel through him to the Glory of God. Peace be with you both

[@carni6319]

I really like the behind the scenes format you're using. Also, your website is beautiful.

I woke up to a dark sky and heavy rain so…breakfast with your vlog ‘brightens” my day. I love the sunset shot at 11:15 🙌🏼. Greetings to Bertram! There are not many blacksmiths nowadays and it’s a wonderful skill and trade. Happy Thanksgiving from the USA to you and your family and friends, Morten! 👋🏼🤗👍🏼

[@Light_Camera_Story]

These videos should be watched on bigger screen. With good sound system. Smaller screens are not fair for these quality videos. Bravo Monsieur !

[@itztom3665]

Firstly, i received my signed calendar yesterday, its beautiful, the quality is superb, the texture of the paper to the colours, amazing. loved this video, i can just imagine the piece and calm and being in nature for 7 days, so good for the mental health. 2 amazing little tips too, so simple, yet effective, thank you. Look forward to your next video. Im gonna go and check out your friends you tube video now.

[@bruceleventhal3292]

Once again your videos serve to inspire. These in the field videos mixed with bushcraft and the sounds of nature are among the most enjoyable KZbin videos out there. As a weekend warrior w/ a day job, your productions always remind me the importance of embracing the simpler things in our complex lives! Thanks Morten.

Great video as always! Seems your experience as a chef in Groenland wasn't wasted! Where did the duck come from? Also great tip with the fingers for long exposures, I like it better than blending 2 photos in post processing! See you out there!

[@zenphotojourney]

Ditto. 🙂

[@Kirjax]

It was so relaxing watching this. Thank you for your great videos Morten!

[@love-xd9ne]

two man and beautiful nature and beautiful music🕊🐚

[@raomudasir6490]

Absolutely wonderful... The combination of camping and photography is soulful... Was hoping to see that 180-400 f4 in action instead of 150-600....

[@dietmarwechselberger6707]

Watching this video is like sitting at the fire place. Very relaxing. Thank you Morten.

[@YohannChaplin]

This technique you use for the star is so simple, it's fantastic! I will have to try that someday :)

[@RIDDX2010]

Thanks Morten. I liked Bertram's Bow Saw

[@o9dk]

Det var da en magisk kombo. Og tak for de gode tips Morten

[@cbetylkata87]

The video has come up amazingly well! I love those kind of mixture between bushcraft and photography moments. The star night image with the camo side is absolutely fantastic and thank you so much for sharing the technique for creating it!

[@neilthacker2069]

The perfect collaboration,getting our fix of wildlife and outdoor skills all in one...the tip with exposing for the stars and fire is something that I wouldn't have thought of,will have to try it out! Looking forward to your next expedition out there!

[@nordstromcom8161]

Great video Morten! Keep up the good work, greetings from Switzerland🙌🏼 You inspired me to do a 3days Expedition in the Swiss Alps, starting in 3 weeks.

[@briansquibb999]

Brilliant technique for the fire/stars!!!!

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Fascinating! I can’t wait for your next trip. I am surprised that you can build such a large fire inside the tent without burning it.

[@joelkarnio]

Amazing! And thanks for sharing this experience with us. BTW, I had awesome photography day. I took good photos of mallards and swans, after that spent 1h 30min with birds eating at my bird feeder, they came only 1m away from me, I didn't use hide. Then some hawk or owl caught one of the birds in front of me.

[@BaumGrillinzBBQ]

The amount of determination and patience that you have for photography is amazing.. I need to acquire those skills 👍 God bless my friend

[@detectivesoffice2155]
