[@SharkyGamess]

loving your channel mate, been watching a few days now! would love to see the air rifle/hunting videos :D keep up the good work!

[@jovinfoong]

TA Outdoors building a tree shelter perhaps will be a good building series for us to watch. ANYWAY be safe buddy... Love ur widens and ur efforts, thanks 👍👍👍

For drip sticks replacement. ...take cordage smaller than your ridgeline and or webbing, tie a prusik knot individually with it on your suspension lines and let them dangle. You can slide them to/fro and add multiple along suspension lines. Traveling water always takes the path of least resistance so it will go to the smaller cordage like a magnet. Something we learned in military across the pond and has worked for years. Also when used in mild weather conditions you can use them to hang items off the ground to dry or keep scorpions and other unfriendly types out your gear. I can never leave anything on the ground in my area so I use dangling prusik knots and a toggle stick to support things. Atb

What I love about hurricane and other oil lanterns is that you really can't go wrong with them. No dead batteries, no bad connections, no wet electronics, nothing. If it has oil and the wick isn't soaking wet it will work. Hell you can even use cooking oil if you run out of kerosene. Terrific piece of equipment.

[@Higgnation]

Hey Mike, I just wanted to say these videos where you just go camping are my favorite.

[@BrooklynneMuffett]

You are the BEST. You alone are the reason I got started in this. I watch your videos religiously and you've taught me SO much. I could easily say you taught me everything I know. So thank you for enlightening my life by unknowingly getting me into this lifestyle. Built my first lean to and am looking forward to my next adventure.

[@The53732]

Hi! Actual cook here! Here is some advice. Use less oil on the steaks. The steaks have natural fat that will help impart color and flavor. Also season your food after cooking. You should have cooked those onions until they were slightly translucent and you should have gotten more color on the steak to get more flavor. Also add some garlic!

[@anthonyhayton8]

Yeah. I never use oil for steaks. Just a drizzle to cook the veg. And only salt n pepper after cooking each side.

[@aaqilian5.085]

But you’re perfectly ok with using a non-stick pan over open flames? Mmkay, ‘actual cook.’ You’re not worth taking seriously.

[@JoshRizer]

Bringing your camera must almost feel like you’ve brought a friend along with you, except your friend is completely useless in helping you set camp. But it gives you someone (or hundreds of thousands of people actually) to talk to and share your experiences with. Love this video, love the channel!

[@borkthebasher]

drip stick theory. buy carabiners ;) great video as always, but can't help but comment on the steak cooking as an OCD chef haha. oil the meat not the pan. get the pan as hot as possible before putting it in. flip the meat once as per your doneness giving it ample time to sear on one side before touching it at all. don't add anything to the pan at all, when the steaks cooked take out and let it rest for 10 minutes, this will give you time to cook your veggies in the lovely steak juice and rest your meat. this will fry it instead of poach/steam in all the liquid from them. just some pointers, i'm sure it was delicious but simple tricks can make all the difference next time, trust me.

[@crforfreedom7407]

Thing is, with carabiners, you know the load it will take from the start and maintain consistently every time, all the time. A stick is pot luck. BUT. How awesome is it to have a ready-made alternative for the bush should a carabiner fail or simply get lost? Survival favors the prepared....

[@humbertoretamales4588]

In regards to finding your gear when is dark, I have attached reflective tape to some of my gear, including guy ropes and poles. Also I've attached reflective tape to some rigid plastic strips and I use it to mark a path if required. They work with the minimum amount of light (fire or stars ) and make life at lot easier when you need to find something. I reuse them over and over so they are not left behind polluting the environment.

[@Curiositycure]

Why do I love these videos so much? It’s a dude camping but I can watch this guy for hours

[@lordlewlew]

Just started watching your videos today, and now I am addicted!?

[@WeaselJuice]

Great call on Stone IPA first! I lived in San Diego, and the Brewery and staff (of course the beer) are TOPS! :)

[@BallisticSamFishing]

Just got in from FedEx the same hammock and under blanket today! Had the same tarp but in multi cam for 2 months now. Thank you for making these vids to help the new guys out.

[@terryrush6333]

You guys are on a whole different level of camping over there. Respect from the US.

[@OregonMikeH]

OH TA! Another Excellent, informative & so enjoyable Vid! You know your Style makes me feel like I'm right there with you . Your candor and Honesty is a major commodity that has me on alert and always anxious for the next one. it really is incredible the amount of important info and skills shared and I really appreciate the attention to detail. On this specific Vid I had some great belly laughs and realized that you were saving me from myself by showing what can go wrong. As well also the backtrack music was absolutely spot on, I'll be watching this one more then once. So keep them coming, your Ch. is one of the #1 favorites on this side of the Pond. Love your personality Pal!! Warm Regards from Oregon!... Oregon Mike H

[@MrTmax74]

Well look who it is, what's up Mike. Small World on KZbin I guess haha

[@garyspring5981]

I THINK THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVEORITE CAMP OUTS OF YOURS

[@aiferapple1246]

Love the drip stick!! Genius!

[@bryanhikes7248]

man, you are a wealth of bushcraft knowledge. keep em coming!

[@christiangoett3014]

yeah Dale's pale ale! Colorado takes its outdoors and beer very serious. if you are ever in the Rockies my friend.

[@benWTL]

The stick idea is really good. Will do it tonight when I hammock camp.

[@Keyswiz71]

We use those lamps for historic military reenactment, I have a couple of original 1950's British military issue Chalwyn Tropics and they both work as well as the day were made, wonderful things!

[@jackmaverick5481]

The best thing to use for drip lines is some knitting yarn tied tightly on your suspension lines. This works better than any hardware you can buy and it is ultra-lite and very, very cheap.

[@JPL_1971]

Great video! Thanks for sharing! Some of my favorite videos are you and your dad spending time together at your camp. Have your dad bring his "catch of the day" and cook it on the fire. Thanks again!

[@davvie420]

Drip stick. Genius. Thanks for sharing

[@jackodell720]

The drip stick is brilliant mate...brilliant!

[@liammalarky3483]

That's a great idea with the drip stick. Thank you for sharing. That's very unselfish of you and says a lot about the kind of person you are. You've just gained a subscriber. Many thanks.

[@higgsfieldinthefield9916]

You are so right about the storm lanterns, an essential piece of kit, I use lamp oil in mine, it is less sooty than paraffin. all the best mate.Nice post.

[@DF-ke4cp]

I love how organized you are! Those test tubes are a great idea

[@crcurley]

It's very interesting and entertaining to watch a video this old, and to see how far you've come since then. A lovely aspect of advancement and development.

[@mcgregornw]

Cracking video, going hammock camping for first time next weekend. This was a great video to get inspired!

[@jimd3039]

Mike, that was a brilliant idea! You need to patent that while you have the chance. Small ideas such as that can turn out to be big in the future.

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Hello TA Outdors. Greetings from Denmark…I love your videos. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@joezuzolo9785]

You and your dad are the coolest people!

[@billyjeavons]

Used these lanterns at home as a child in the 70's during the electricity cuts. Proper nostalgic

[@PsycJoe02]

That knife is a true work of art

[@anthonyhayton8]

30:34 always excited about food. It always seems to taste better when cooked outdoors like this.

[@doug9418]

You betcha, learning every time you have a video out, keep up the great work please. 🇺🇸

[@Andy-1968]

Great video again Mick 👍 love TA outdoors (both channels) I'm hooked (can't stop watching) ☺ keep up the great work my friend 🌲🌲

[@oldpup4810]

Wild rabbit and squirrels are quite tasty when cooked on an open fire. :)

[@martinpugh9700]

New subscriber, thanks for the videos! Am I starnge in that I enjoy watching the camp tear downs as much as putting them together?

[@moeloubani768]

Woot awesome video! Was happy seeing the notification pop up and even happier when I realized it was an hour long.

[@moeloubani768]

Well other than frying a steak on a campfire, why man?

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

I like the birch bark idea. Keep the piece for as long lon as you can. There’s hundreds of fires left in it.

[@pesky4649]

About your dripstick failure, and a possible solution. One way to prevent the cord rolling off either end of the dripstick is to flip a pair of half hitches onto each end of the stick instead of adding the extra loop as you do at the 8:46 mark. Only takes a second and they are easy to undo even after applying a load. They will have to be left-handed hitches at one end of the stick and right-handed at the other of course in order to maintain your desired direction of wrap. You might even manage with a single half-hitch at each end but the double would be more secure and would not require the notches to keep the cordage in place.

[@flixtorres]

I really enjoy your videos - especially the bushcraft ones. What I find great as well is the length of your videos. Keep up the brilliant work!

[@glennrudolph]

Wow! You thought of the drip stick all by yourself? Wow! Amazing!

[@bushcraftsurvivor767]

Could u do how to make a primitive bow and arrow 🏹👍

[@tomdean4662]

Bush craft Survivor sounds good. some primitive tools to be made along with a field test perhaps?

[@sundaysunday9718]

hey guys we have a bloke in aus that makes both of those videos and more, his channel is called primative technology, I guarantee you'll be amazed

[@Jake-pd1ig]

Upvoted for Smeagle impression

[@MrVresnov]

fat little HOBIIIITTSSSSS!!!

[@tttalktome.7246]

Brilliant video. Gives a great insight to what it's like for some one who's interested.

[@JustInCases72]

I usually watch videos to see if have easier or better ways of doing things in the outdoors its nice just regular camping and building a camp from start to finish. I liked the Viking house also. nice to see bush craft tips. I should be back in the woods in 2 or 3 more weeks cant wait. Cancer surgery put me down for a few weeks but no worries

[@g.forster6233]

Another great video - thank you! You rock! So suggestion: perhaps pre-seasoning your steak/veggies at home? It gives more time for absorption, allows for an even distribution in a controlled environment, and you won't have any last minute blunders, ie. dumping too much of a spice/herb or forgetting to add another. I like to add a thin layer of oil first (yes, even on the veggies), then the spices (salt first and evenly across all edges!!), finally bag it n' tag it! Don't forget to get both sides of the steak!

[@leonaosborn9888]

Hello TA OUTDOORS. I have just started watching your videos . I must tell you that I am proud to be a new fan of yours. Your videos are totally awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always loved cam,ping.... but your videos have taught me a couple tricks that I would have never thought of . PLEASE keep making videos .

[@rickredman513]

Lord Baden Powell is smiling upon you Mike! Another good video. Cheers!

[@robertdunn8541]

Everyone needs to go camping and relax 👍🙏❤️🇺🇸

[@nigelevans5639]

Beer review !!!! Now we're camping ✌🏻️🍻🍻🍻 well done

[@royb1001]

Can't wait to try that bannock bread. Great work as always, Mike.

[@Needpork-jr6vm]

You and your dad make the best videos. Keep it up man 🤙

[@garrettcrosby2412]

Love the drip stick. Great idea!

[@kushbats4504]

Great vid as always mike you should do some caving or mountain climbing videos next you adapt to everything so well would be good to see you give that a try

[@TheDramon69]

Next video ---- Trot Line fishing on the coast for a 2 day catch and cook !!! love ya content cheap easy going weekend on the coast baby yea !!

[@jumbothebest]

Tip: Replace the webbing with a whoopi sling ... works so much better, doesn‘t sag and gives the whole thing a nice solid feel.

[@Josephholsinger]

Great video Mike, really enjoyed the music twards the end!

[@rockyflagg]

Love your choice of music Michael

[@brightbkh07]

Great Idea bud! Happy camping! Thanks for sharing!

[@feellnfroggy]

A 3 day small game hunt from your camp would be pretty cool. It has a small hunting camp feel to it even though it isn't a cabin.

[@terrypatterson1481]

I look forward to the hunting / catch and cook TA Outdoors.

[@gunterbecker8528]

The best part of u video was the burned bun,definitely will try it 😄

[@Sixpot48]

You drip stick Rodney! Ha ha. Good idea matey. Enjoying the vids. Keep them coming!

[@toneyjohnson8910]

The steak and veg looks good. Nice easy light camp.

[@dalwindersingh2322]

Serious question - after waking up in the morning do slugs and other insects in your ears nose and other places I can not mention here not worry you?

[@TAOutdoors]

Nope not at all!

[@wolfshollowsurvival4080]

Protein YUMMY

[@mattwebber3165]

The Frontline hammock he is using has a really fine mesh which will keep out pretty much anything, even the British Midge - good news for me as those buggers seem to fly for miles just to crawl on my skin! Great video :-)

[@serdavosseaworth6115]

That’s called a free meal.

[@brandad101]

@@mattwebber3165 do you happen to know what brand tarp he is using? I really need to buy one and I'm looking for a good brand. Thank you

[@apumasterp]

Those lanterns are all we had on the farm and in the cabins to this day. They do work great aside from attracting bugs big time! I noticed you finally stopped saying tarpaulin and no say tarp, good job!

[@americanpatriot6918]

I would love to see you do a military surplus gear video. If you used all military surplus gear. And showed how you can get quality inexpensive military surplus gear. And be living large on a camping trip! Don't know if you have the gear? But I know I'd love to see a video like that! And I bet you'd pick up a bunch of new subscribers to! Multicam is my favorite camaflauge pattern!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@flippskiw.3794]

Great idea with the dripstick dude!

[@DannyWalker1949]

I Really Enjoy the LONGER Video's! Also, on your "Dip Stick" You can make what you have already work for yourself. Try this, On 0ne side tie it just like you're doing now...THEN on the other side Tie it just the Opposite of the first one, try that....we used to do this to load some of those 1,000,000 lbs. loads in the dirt, or drag them with the winch.

[@lowkeyog7961]

Ex-Law Enforcement I think he calls it a “Drip Stick”, but I like your thinking

[@Andrewolf79]

Nice video..well done some good diy ideas there... Water stick dripper.. Spices and oil tubes.. Really helpful and simple.

[@IsleofWightBushcraft]

Lovely camp. Great to see your enthusiasm for wildlife. You made me chuckle when you said better take your time with 6.9 beer. Liking your stuff

[@forbensake]

Everyone should check out IOWBC’s tutorial on tarp utility lines, that sorted my setup right out & kept loose gear high & dry. You can also attach the bug net to it to avoid further rain tracking from outside👌

[@Jetavanavihara]

すごく分かりやすい！やってみます。 Thank you. I will try it.

[@roaringvideos4917]

Love your videos! Next u should do primitive camping

[@joeblack0342]

great video mike keep doing them!!

[@reikilynx653]

GENIUS! Really hard to write down and put in bag, I get you had problems explaining, lol. Thank you so much!

[@daneminords796]

Totally Awesome idea for Drip Stick. Good Job

[@kylejewell5598]

I really enjoy your videos man! I know that sounds a little basic, but any more and it might come across like an opinion rather than just some good old fashion encouragement. Cheers!

[@jakebarlow100]

with the dripsticks i think the biggest thing would be getting the loops around it really close to uniform for an even pull on it, one being slightly further out is my guess for why it twisted like it did. reguardless great video! perfect way to spend my 1-2am haha, look forward to more mate

[@stock7628]

You have the best type of woods to camp in spaced out trees and what not. My woods are all bushy and muddy an just full of bs

[@sjntube]

Great video. Really enjoy all of your content. You're like the European version of Joe Robinett. Hahaha.... Stone IPA is a great beer. Here in Arizona, we have a great IPA from a local brewery called Four Peaks. If you ever come across it, pick up their Kilt Lifter or Hop Knot brews. Excellent choices!

[@thomasdilworth1607]

How about a video which takes more of a minimalist slant? A few nights in a woodland setting with only 3 tools and a cook pot! Make camp with the natural resources around you, forage and/or hunt for food and for a sequel, use the same tactics but in a different setting, maybe coastal or a mountainous environment. Great channel, by the way, really enjoy watching your videos and trying out a few of your tips for myself, keep em comming, mate,

[@MrKMAR01]

Thank you for the video. Nice. I also do hammock camping - always. My setup is with carabiners and it works every time. Water drips off and it is much faster and easier than the drip-stick-thing. My carabiners are aluminium, very strong and very light (but expensive). If you make some knots on the cord you put on the tree, you can easily with the carabiners adjust the hammock. Just a little trick. It usually only takes 5-10 minutes to get tarp and hammock up. Would really like to see some more hunting videos. But anyway, good job - I enjoy your channel.

[@dcdriveinn]

Using an Opinel to cut steak is so satisfying

[@p1a9d6d6y]

here's an idea for the drip off, how about using metal rings with the webbing looped through it? A ring can't ping off during the night.

[@sparkingdogg]

Very nice, mate. Camp looks fantastic.

[@williamknight1031]

That STEAK looks AMAZING!!!!!

[@maggern_204]

Im stoked for hunting vids!

[@deyangeorgiev]

Love the Opinel. I have an old carbon No9 and its beautiful.

[@nickup6]

nice spice racks, i use different size tic tac containers for spices, and the single shot plastic liquor bottles for oil love the videos man, sending good vibes your way

[@bryangarner1852]

yes, I do have a good idea for a dripstick. pull the hammock straps through a carabiner then put a stick between the hammock straps and the carabiner, or any metal ring. put the stick to the bottom. nice one theory sounds good putting ideas into practice hope you can try it .any way good to watch thanks for sharing your adventures. Bryan Garner from Sheffield

[@olikilleen3908]

I really enjoy the Bushcraft/Camping aspect of he channel. Just my opinion, though.

[@gerardriordan712]

P.s....you certainly love your food man...and a beer...excellent and cheers Mike...

[@roguescot13]

Great video! One thought though, the drip stick can be machined out of aluminium allowing it to be sturdy, small and light weight.

[@andreborsch2266]

I think I want to see more of these kind of videos. Subbed! :-)

[@renevandijk4914]

Such a Awesome Senery and Camp site

[@braskayevon7727]

I would really like to see a survival fishing video , catching fish with only basic fishing gear, a hook and some fishing line
