MY BUSHCRAFT SHELTER IS DESTROYED! | Solo Hammock Camping & Cooking Burgers In The Woods!

#bushcraftshelter #bushcraft #bushcraftcamp
It was a shock to arrive at my old shelter spot to find that the majority of the woodland has been completely cut down, but thankfully I had my hammock as a backup. This discovery made me even more determined to start a fresh new build for the winter.🌨
I set up my hammock in the fallen pine woods and reminisced of my time at the shelter, as I enjoyed my fire cooked burgers watching the bats fly on by.

Here's a video of the shelter before it was destroyed. 🤙🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWLQn4aBo75rY6c&feature=shareb

[@waltwalters4144]

Love your videos. Shelter suggestion: a simple lean too with a raised floor/bed

[@campingwithjosh]

Great suggestion!

[@bethdoublekickchick8007]

Love it 😊

[@dwaynestewart411]

Well Josh I'm truly sorry about your shelter but look at it this way. You still have your memories of the old shelter and now you can take what you've learned and build a better one and make a lot of new memories. It may be a sad end of one but it's a wonderful beginning of a new and I'm looking forward to taking that journey with you. Dwayne

[@campingwithjosh]

Yes brother! It's definitely a new journey. Can't wait to get started!

[@micheller6197]

Josh, it’s such a pleasure to watch you. I’ve been in and out of hospital for months (back again today) Anytime I feel down, one of your videos comes up and your smile is so contagious, it makes me grin and laugh! I’ve even had a couple of the nurses subscribe as well! Keep on keeping on, mate! Cheers! 🍻

[@campingwithjosh]

I had to screenshot this comment! Thank you so much for your support! I hope your doing better now. So glad I was able to bring some joy to you in your difficult time. I hope your nurses enjoy the videos too. 😁

[@micheller6197]

@@campingwithjosh thank you so much! I was able to come back home after a few days. I love watching your videos! ❤️

[@danozeman26]

Another great relaxing video to watch mate. An idea for the next shelter. Simple brush covered roof with a raised bed and a shelf for a table.

[@campingwithjosh]

Sounds fantastic! Cheers buddy.

[@southerncooker6475]

That's tragic! You'll find another beautiful spot, I'm sure of it! Cheers!

[@campingwithjosh]

I will! 😄

[@davehead9679]

Got me a bit emotional there you bugger! Keep on keeping on brother!

[@campingwithjosh]

Haha it felt it when I was there. A new shelter spot will be found soon.

[@Lbrope]

This guys so under rated he deserves more subs im sure keep pumping out these bangers and they will be lining up

[@campingwithjosh]

Cheers mate! Made me smile. Just having fun and being me. Having people like yourself being so supportive means more than subs. Thank you for your support!

[@irvsstella]

Absolutely gutted for you, heartbroken. But, this is the reality of forest camping in the UK. All I can say is, you'll be good for a while before they replant and regrow the new 'stock'. I'd have some of the processed away and get a cabin built, just around the corner, they've logged that area, so good for at least a year or two.

[@campingwithjosh]

Yes planning to find a spot soon

[@w9gaming558]

Sick thumbnail! Looking forward to this 🔥

[@campingwithjosh]

Cheers bro!🙏🏻 been having fun trying to jazz them up. 🤙🏻

[@phatwayne]

Get some Avon Skin So Soft, that stuff is amazing and even wards off Scottish midges!

[@campingwithjosh]

Yes I have used that! Great stuff. Unfortunately mine was out of date the last time I filmed at my shelter, and I think it just attracted them to me! 🤣

[@phatwayne]

@@campingwithjosh yeah, it’s not supposed to do that 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻

[@FatmanGary]

Awhh man gutted for you with your shelter! I guess it's just onwards to camp 2.0 brother ! Great vid as always mate 😊

[@campingwithjosh]

My thoughts exactly! The shelter will be a much better project now. Cheers buddy.

[@JamiePipe]

Class video weyo brother they get better and better ❤

[@tanjarott7535]

Lovely video, Josh.

[@campingwithjosh]

Glad you enjoyed it

Loving these videos 👍

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you! More to come!

[@seikkailusaukko]

Very few things are quite as depressing as going into what you think is woods, and find a ravaged clearing that looks like a bomb dropped there, except not quite as nice... Anyway, just a word of caution about that insect repellant thing: it contains prallethrin, which is very effective against mosquitos and midges ... but also affects bees and other beneficial insects as well, and it's not really recommended to use it outside of a garden or other such clearly limited areas. Not that it isn't tempting to use when swarmed by mozzies, but personally, I only use my Thermacell (which uses similar mats) only when nothing else cuts it.

[@campingwithjosh]

Cheers for the knowledge pal! ✌️ appreciate it.

[@ewengillies9826]

What are you talking about Josh ... from what I hear that was a typical English sunrise ..lol. Loggers are the same the world over mate .. slash n destroy. If you haven't seen TA Outdoors vlogs he has amazing shelters for ideas. Like your style expect the unexpected when it happens. Bushyboy Oz.

[@campingwithjosh]

Haha that's true! lol yeah seen plenty of TA content. Will defo be making my own style tho. 😄✌️

[@eddiejefferies3659]

I can certainly relate to how you must have felt loosing the shelter. In a different context but same theme, I spent three years building and maintaining a secret mountain bike single track trail. I returned from a holiday, to find that the woodlands looked the same as yours, with no evidence left to show for three years of weekend and evening work gone. I actually cried over it, having literally putting my life and soul into it. Everyone said, don't worry about it, start again. But I didn't, now instead enjoy a bit a bike packing and wild camping. Thanks for sharing your superb clip, and good luck with both finding another site, and building another shelter. As an aside. I envy with having little aircraft noise. I live close to Ashdown Forest, and it is impossible to get away from it.

[@campingwithjosh]

Oh buddy! Don't give up! It sure hurts when it happens but if it brought you joy at the time that's what you can cherish even if you don't build again. But would be awesome if you did.

[@bethdoublekickchick8007]

This was beautiful, such a positive attitude that makes me smile 😊 Thankyou 🤘

[@channchum3542]

Wow so beautiful natural brother.please good health i watch from Cambodia 🇰🇭🤝❤️🏕️

[@garycowan7445]

Hi Josh. I've binged watched most of your content... Very good, we enjoyed it. When you start a new camp how about a fire place with chimney etc. Just a thought... Cheers 👍

[@campingwithjosh]

Sounds great! Great idea! Thank you

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

I've had a few shelters found and destroyed the best thing to do is move on to a new location and build a new one every build gives you more experience and you get better at build but building in a working forest it will always be found and taken down it's all part of the game atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[@campingwithjosh]

It's a fun game tho! Haha just need to scout a location now. 😁

[@junenowlinsimonton8502]

I just enjoyed your new video but sad about your shelter. I know you will build bigger and better next time. 👍🥰 I certainly loved the part of the video that showed the chubby little bee with the flowers 🌺. Very well done there. In the future, I would like to see you try to build a sturdy chair and a simple table. Both will make food prep lot easier.😊

[@campingwithjosh]

You should check out my camp I had with Simon in one of my vids, I made a chair. 😁 worked a treat! But I'll defo make another chair plus a table for my next shelter build. I love bees! I filmed these ones especially as my mum has always had a love for them and it's a little hello from me to her as I know she'll be watching.

[@herbsmith6871]

Sorry about your camp brother! But you said the key words, working forest. It was going to happen sooner or later. Great video! Thanks for sharing 🤠

[@campingwithjosh]

Thanks for watching buddy!

[@irvsstella]

Think of all that fatwood, just lying around, you'd need the UNIMOG to drag it out the woods 😆

[@CaroleFrenchFox]

Amazing hey, there I was thinking we needed trees, yet everywhere in every forest and woodland, trees are being cut down. Disgusting.

[@campingwithjosh]

I guess we all need wood for what we use daily etc in construction and furniture. The wood I used for my shelter was dead standing or fallen pine.

[@stormo4925]

Love your videos and the journeys you take us on really sorry about the woodland and the shelter it's sad when man takes away what we love I have faith you will find a better spot an make new memories much love from my Fam to yours

[@EgonSmithBushcraftSurvival]

Great video. To bad about the shelter but now you can start a new chapter in bushcraft. thanks for sharing your journey.

[@neilgandhi5565]

Another cool vlog dude shame to see that you shelter has been lost but on a personal note loved seeing the big forwarder machine and all the brash wood will more than likely become biomass so some good will come out of it 😊😊

[@mdmoutdooradventures]

Sorry to hear about your shelter but still a good video and I’m sure the next shelter will be bigger and better than the last .

[@campingwithjosh]

100% will! Onwards and upwards! Cheers pal.

[@channchum3542]

👍👍👍

[@clairecooper197]

Sorry to see your Covid camp flattened. Time for a new project. The bat footage was epic, I see them in my garden. But they move so quickly, 😂 You caught their movement beautifully.

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you so much! The bats are beautiful aren't they!

[@tourcheverybridge]

Shame about your shelter, inevitably it was going to happen..everything for a reason and all that. No wonder your pack was so heavy all them glass bottles of 🍺 😂😂. Maybe make a Viking style shelter.. you have the look 😂😂😂😂

[@campingwithjosh]

Haha only 2 beers lol. I had all my camping tools ready to fix my shelter etc.

[@peterhannaford9729]

Nice one Josh, bushcraft has come a bit late for me now. But when I’m in the woods with my black ‘ lab Harry, I wonder where I’ll put my tarp’, even though I haven’t got one. Peace🌈 Plymouth Pete

[@campingwithjosh]

Maybe you could hang one up to have a coffee underneath. You don't have to camp out to enjoy it. ☺️

[@walterberry8703]

Great video ,I'm new to bushcrafting I've car camped bikepacked only bushcrafting I've done is in the garden with my young grandsons they are hooked too thank you for the inspiration🤗

That is awesome! Keep on camping!💪🏻

[@OutandAboutwithDave]

As always Josh a great video, sorry about your shelter, good luck with the next one, great footage of the bat.

[@campingwithjosh]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm itching to get out and hunt for a location.

[@Perfect5Recurve]

Shame to see about your shelter. Here's hoping you can find a new spot and rebuild. Is there a name for the style of hat you're wearing? I'd love to grab something like that for myself.

[@campingwithjosh]

Oh I don't actually know the name unfortunately but guess it's like a classy cowboy hat 😂

The memories will remain but times move on, gutted about the shelter josh but you will make a new camp and create even more memories

[@campingwithjosh]

100%! Cheers pal.

[@landscape7734]

Do you had a permission from the owner or was it a wild one !? Nice videos, thanx.

[@campingwithjosh]

So I actually bumped into the one of the owners a few years back and he's completely fine with people building shelters as it's a working forest. He also told me fires are fine just as long as you know how to get rid of one.

[@redneckrich7215]

Gutted for ya bud, same has happened to me in the past. Looking forward to your new build. Keep up the great work & video's !👍

Lovely and peaceful Josh. Sorry to see you’ve lost your shelter though. Onwards and upwards as they say. What’s your final thoughts on the tiny repel? Atb. Paul.

[@campingwithjosh]

Tried it out twice and it has done well with mosquitos! Especially the spot I camp at by my old shelter. Havnt tested it enough to see if it does much for midges but looking good so far.

[@oddmanout98]

Cheers mate. I think it has a bit of an effect on wasps too? Like you , I’ve only used mine a couple of times but pleased so far.

[@gigi3242]

Bummer about your shelter. Think I would have been afraid to camp there, lest the tree eating machine munched me in the morning. I hope you can get a "permission granted" kind of location, so you can build a place without fear of it disappearing. Best wishes, maybe a modified dugout for winter? Take care, be well

[@campingwithjosh]

Yes a permission would be awesome! Would love to own my own woodland one day but I have to use what I can get at the mo. Cheers for the support.
