What a badass. Just playin his flute out in the wilderness by a fire in the middle of the night... Hes the uncle we all need.

[@stephengreico2810]

derbin4048 for real

[@jasonroberts9788]

A lot of people can survive in the wilderness, but if you want to feel completely at peace, be comfortable, well fed, and gain some wisdom, go with Lonnie.

[@cjw2661]

You should do a video of you playing your flute with the fire crackling. That would be awesome to listen to as you go to sleep.

[@volumedealer2716]

The flute part

[@crosshair64]

I envy you Lonnie, and your lifestyle... I live in Northern West Virginia, the mountain state. I love the outdoors and everything that offers....... Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience with us, I appreciate it sir.

[@AvatarState]

The flute mixed with the crackling fire just sounds so peaceful!

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Commyboi Thank you. I enjoy playing the flute in those settings as well.

[@stephensgate1]

Lonnie, all the best to you and Connie. Thank you for all you do for all of us. We appreciate you both! Stephen, Ohio

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+BuckeyeBushcraft L. Thank you Stephen and you are welcome. Connie and I appreciate you folks as well.

[@johnnschroeder7424]

Hell of dish to wake up to, slow cooked and ready on waking, can't be beat for comfort or eating!

[@shaveclassy9986]

Really appreciate your calm voice

[@mayhembeading3737]

This has got to be my favorite video. Thank you for sharing it- I've watched it about 1800 times. God bless and protect y'all.

[@wbw1mi]

How many times now?

[@cosnniran]

Its 2021, march...how many times now? :)

[@moorshound3243]

1800 wow almost as many times as I've watched Easyrider haha

[@savagewolf1257]

Can I just say I never new stuff like this before and I stared asking my grandpa if I could go out in the wild and stay a night alone and I used your techniques and they work perfectly and I never would have gotten to do this without these videos so can we all say thank you Lonnie 👍🏼😊

[@peschoanvi]

you know Lonnie, there are so many yt channels explaining stuff, showing this and that, where you learn a lot surely, and so one... your channel is a mix of that, but the most important thing is that your videos are that kind of videos where you finish to watch it and you just want to take the rucksack , sleeping bag and go outside. and im sure very much people do that ;) i think these are the best kind of videos :) greeting from italy

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Pescho Anvi Greetings to you from Alaska. Thank you for the kind words. Several folks have said that after watching this vidoe it made them want to head for the woods and experience the outdoors. That is great words of encouragement for me to hear / see.

[@adarkerlight]

Absolutely, agreed with Pescho. Also, the amount of work that goes into making these videos, setting up, "acting" (as it were), shooting, editing, rendering, I hope you know it's immensely appreciated, the work you do for us viewers.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+adarkerlight Thank you very much for those encouraging words. It all would not be worth it if not for you folks who watch.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Thomas “Bibsoutdoors” Haines I appreciate the kind words of encouragement. You folks who watch my videos will never know how much *YOU* have helped *ME*. You viewers with your encouraging and positive words have done a lot to heal some "social scars" that others have left behind

[@wthigo77]

+Far North Bushcraft And Survival love your honesty. soo refreshing.. sounds like we have a lot in common. glad to see i'm not the only one who had or has problems with society. you know the saying nice guys finish last, i'm beginning to think that it's true.. but it won't stop me from being who I am.. I guess I may not win the race but hopefully I will finish it knowing I did it with a good heart.

[@NomadicDave2032]

Extremely glad your doing these videos, I believe this sort of thing should be taught as a supplement added onto the school systems. While most see it as novelty these day's I see it as essential, people forget how to survive where dose that leave them worse comes to worse? I LOVE bushcraft and the outdoors, and useful things are what I love to learn and use and speaks to my Norse blood. Thank you for making these and explaining for people to learn from, not many seasoned bushcrafters share their know how with out high costs these day's...I will teach my kids all I know when there old enough to soak it up...piece of mind is what it is :)

[@timburks1598]

Yep, you should do a camping album with that pipe. It tickles a part of my soul that makes me spend time in the wild.

[@kendalkenny1843]

I've been going to the woods for 55+ years, Never thought of long fires before nice ,thanks lonny......

[@Obscured1972]

You're awesome Lonnie! As is your wonderful wife. I've been sub'd for quite a while, I just don't comment a whole bunch. I often find myself re-visiting your older videos. I just watched your latest video as well and love the set up. Just thought I would say thanks and look forward to your next video. Take care and be safe.

[@rafiqkatana]

Your an inspiration, at least to me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@SurvivalLilly]

unbelievable that you got these freezed logs to flames. good video

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Survival Lilly It does not sound logical but there is very little moisture in the dead dry standing wood that I harvest and in reality it doesn't burn much different than it does during the summer. Thank you my friend for taking the time to watch and comment

[@reflexreaction3797]

somehow any dead standing wood i've come across, most of it was absolutely rotten, full of moisture... probably wrong species... i guess spruce and pine are more likely to be dry? :)

[@reflexreaction3797]

duh i forgot i'd already mentioned this, sorry :)

[@StraightFiya]

Survival Lilly oh heh I know you lol

[@SatansShockTroop]

Far north. thanks for teaching a grown man how to make a fire. I made one for the first time about a year ago from watching you. Long fires for the win. I made it out of ...maybe peach. It last around 24 hours, a piece was still there. Added a log next to it, and it started itself over. Anyhow, you mean a lot to me brother, and you got me into this way of life. Also, survivor Lilly, I watch you sometimes too. good videos, especially on herbs and plants. I've noticed. So, thank you too. Finally, Lilly, Where I am in Ohio, I don't know if its the hardwoods or what but, yeah, the wood here seems to burn in winter, in this long fire configuration, and they are impervious to rain or snow...pretty much.

[@wvmountaineer69]

Thank you for taking us on this adventure Lonnie, I really enjoyed it!!!

[@patmash]

Totally at peace watching your videos. Will try your recipe.

[@jmgarza1288]

That flute playing was on point. nice job

[@Wintertrekker]

Good to see the shelter in action in the snowy season! The trappers used to cache resources (traps, gear, sheet metal wood stoves, some food, axes, knives, tools, matches, cordage, etc), in many places along their lines, including their tiny cabins and shelters. I can imagine them caching dutch ovens in their many camps so they did not have to carry them. Upon arriving and bush camp, they emptied whatever meat and other grub they had into the DO, kindled the fire and walla, instant stew with whatever ingredients were at hand! A few spices, some salt, and preferably some extra fat, and they ate like kings!

[@Taromovies]

Great outing my friend, thanks the kind i love!!!! thanks for taking us with you, all the best and stay safe out there, Taro

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Taromovies Swiss Bushcraft. Thank you and you are welcome. Thanks for stopping by and watching

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Great video Lonnie. Someday you will have to show us more of your flute skills and how you made it

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Mark Young (Shunpyke) I do plan on making a video on making the flute. I am still very surprised at the interest generated by this flute.

[@namafarm]

Beautiful music will.get a man through many a hard time.. we are going to need flutes and songs and drums. Fiddles are going to be like rare gems...

[@mbursey411]

Thanks, Lonnie. Very therapeutic watching your videos. Great job, enjoy them! Best wishes.

[@arctodussimus6198]

I really enjoyed this one. I live vicariously through your videos, until we can get to the place where we can do it ourselves. We’re in the 5th year of our 5 year plan to get to the high lonesome. Somewhere in the northern Rockies... maybe Alaska. In my job, some days I have to spend time (hours) in a freezer that maintains between -10 to -30 degrees. I use a helmet liner also. Mine was made for tank drivers, and it does a great job of keeping my noggin warm. I also use it for cold camping.

[@s.t.entertainmentreviews7506]

I so much enjoy all of your videos...just great!

[@daltonvickers7977]

There is nothing better than sitting around a fire and enjoying the peace and thinking. I'm sure I would love those beans and rice. I dearly love Spam. I have been eating it since I was a wee fella. Love the hot water bottle trick. I sleep with a thick wool beanie that I can pull down around my ears and the back of my neck. Keeps me very warm while sleeping. What better way to wake up . A beautiful morning, hot beans and rice and a hot cup of coffee. That truly is a great life. Thanks for the video and a great time.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+dalton vickers You are welcome my friend and I agree. I toss and turn a lot in the night and a beany cap wont stay in place on me. I personally need a type hat that wraps under my neck to keep it on and also to keep it from spinning around on my head in the night. I have tried some face masks but they end up twisting and I wake up looking at the inside of the hat over my eyes lol.

[@AnthemBassMan]

That beans and rice sure looked tasty! All you needed to add to it was a big chunk of cornbread and a pot of coffee.

[@The1Ox]

Lonnie Thank You! Sure enjoyed this one and being with you! Yummy yummy yummo on your breakfast! Larruping! Blessings and Take Care!

[@negativeanalysis]

i keep finding myself coming back to replay this video, especially when you’re playing the flute around the fire.

[@Ninjafluff]

Looked like a great energy packed breakfast. Thank You for sharing, I will try this for sure.

[@strangebird64]

Thank you Lonnie. Kudos to you for such outstanding videos.

[@crispinscrispian7726]

Me and my daughter like watching your videos. We are lurning so much. Thank you.

[@christophersheffield9574]

I enjoy the videos! Thanks for the time you put into them.

[@southpawbushcraft7522]

Another fantastic video Lonnie! Thanks so much for taking us along! That breakfast looked pretty darn good to me! All the best, Dawn

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+SouthPaw Bushcraft Thank you Dawn. I do love that recipe. My wife and I came up with that recipe when we were out at the cabin and the name stuck. We put everything in a kettle and leave it on the woodstove to cook all day.

[@Rico-Suave_]

thank you for creating and sharing the video, I appreciate it.

[@paulbecker8792]

Great vid Lonnie. I've learned a lot. love the shelter you built as well.

[@Verschlimmbesserung]

This is like a spiritual experience. There is something inate that draws us to nature and makes us feel a part of the whole.

[@formation1now517]

Such beautiful scenery! Loved this video...felt transported to the area! Great one....plan to try the recipe! Thank u do much

[@n8mayfield]

I really enjoyed that, I appreciate all the time and effort you and your wife put forth on your videos. Thank you

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+n8mayfield This video was indeed a lot of work to "pull it off". Life kept getting in the way and kept delaying this video. I was glad when everything fell into place that finally allowed the time to do the video.

[@ospididious]

Always informative and practical. Never that TV show survival BS. Thanks for everything you do. Keep it up.

[@juliusgonzo7527]

Well Pal, your simple, honest approach is why many o us love You Tube outdoors vids....thanks for passing on the knowledge without any unnecessary fanfare or excessive ego.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Julius Gonzo You are very welcome. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement.

[@rogerberg8798]

I know I'm a little late to this video but I like his no nonsense approach to camping, most other KZbinrs are trying to get you to buy way too much stuff for the occasion

[@ChaiseTaylor]

Such a great video, thank you! I need to get out more here in New Zealand now.

[@joebuchanan9563]

Great video, thank you for sharing all those great tips about shelter & fire construction. Watching you have your "Johnny Lake beans" for breakfast made me hungry!

[@WiltshireMan]

Good stuff Lonnie. I can never imagine you sleeping cold with such a wonderful beard haa. All the best Sandy

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Wiltshire Man lol. You know, I never notice the beard helping to keep me warmer all that much until I shave my beard off. Boy oh boy do I ever notice it then lol wow.

[@rickyburton4642]

Great video. And fire 🔥 building.!!

[@cephasmartin8593]

I just love your videos. Thanks.

[@darnelljohnson5313]

your approach is very informative and it captures the imagination as to what can be done and the love of what you do comes through. thank you

[@davesmith3615]

Thanks for a great peaceful show I can't wait for the next one

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+dave smith Glad you are enjoying the vids. You are welcome and thank you.

[@davidanstey1449]

Thank you so much Lonnie for putting these together. After watching you put this series together over the fall, it was great to see it put it to use in an overnighter.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+David Anstey You are welcome. I too had been looking forward to spending the night there at the lean-to. Life just kept getting in the way much to often.

[@bdwcrouse]

You're the best, Lonnie. Thanks for another great video.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Benjamin Crouse Thank you very much. You are welcome. If it wasn't for my appreciative viewers such as yourself, there would be no reason to do these videos.

[@sistermarieskitchen]

Enjoyed the video and recipe. I will definitely be watchin more of your content. Keep up the great work.

[@keithaumann8183]

Just chilling before bed and flute starts to play. Almost fell asleep on the spot!

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Cyber Driver Thank you and you are welcome. Glad you are enjoying the videos.

[@StevePage1]

Wow, the flute adds so much to the video - cool to see that it's not just 'canned' music, but actually you playing it!!

[@StevePage1]

I've gone back and watched your build videos for the native American flutes, along with some of Blue Bear's videos... Very cool! I might give this a try over the weekend. :)

[@andybillos6796]

Guys as always great video....I learned many things from all of them...and really enjoy the peacefulness of them....

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+daniel saint-martin Thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoy my home made PVC flute. My camcorder died in the middle of my flute playing session for this video. I guess I know what my camcorder thinks of my flute playing lol.

[@adarkerlight]

+Far North Bushcraft And Survival I was reminded of Dean Evenson's music. I hope you record more flute playing in the future so I can have it on in the background.

[@angiecarter4207]

lovely flute music, it was perfect and seems like you.

That sounds as the music echoes, brilliant another great video

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+trevor parsons Thank you my friend. Glad you are still enjoying the videos. If it wasn't for you and the other viewers who are so supportive, there would be very little reason to continue producing these videos.

[@jimfrattaroli9]

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+William Larkham Jr (Bigland Trapper) Thanks my friend for watching. I sure do enjoy this recipe. We developed this recipe while out at our cabin. we put all the ingredients in a pot and set on the woodstove all day or night to cook.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+James White I see why you love the combo of beans rice and spam. It seems to be a great combo. Bacon is great in this recipe as well. My wife also loves her garden and we reap the benefits of fresh veggies all summer from her garden. Thanks for coming along via the camera lens. Atb to you and your loved ones as well.

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Another Great film 👍

[@abcxyz3603]

Just watched this video now. Beautiful. A man truly in tune with the environment he lives in. Loved the idea of breakfast. Might give it a try in my slow cooker - not half as exciting as being in the wilds, but one can dream. God bless.

[@rikardbushdadwiklund9646]

So amazing! I can almost feel the warmth from the log and taste the food. Well done! /from a bearded man to another bearded man.

[@cosnniran]

Wow... that was really an experience. Thanks

[@zekesundown2397]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us sir.

[@aamirkhan1846]

another fantastic video

[@papajeff5486]

Thank you for the video. I lived in Fairbanks a while. Went up there for the job. Drove up there one early February. Rolled my pickup truck, busting all the tires and windows, off the road, down into a ravine, about 50 miles East of Tok. A couple of young men rescued us, my wife, my dog, and myself. The folks of Tok took care of us and got me to work in Fairbanks, early. The temperatures were down to 32 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The snow was 2-3 feet deep. The best thing about The Alaskan wilderness is the people. They saved our lives. Lonnie, you are of that bunch. I will never forget that. God bless you. If you come down to central Texas, you have a place in my home. Texas

[@TheSunkenGrave]

Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for posting them.
