Searching For New Bushcraft Shelter Spot: Pine Needle Tea, Firecraft & Camp Lunch

Welcome back to my channel!
This video I take you along on a day trip with me as I search for a new camp location. I plan on building a shelter between these two trees and throughout the year I will keep adding new features to make this spot a real camp oasis! This is the first video of this series, I can't wait to start building and for the transformation to begin!
I'm thinking I will start with a basic lean to. Please let me know in the comments your ideas and recommendations!

You make the whole job of fire building and eating in the winter woods look so relaxing and comfortable!

[@TheTimberLife]

It’s definitely therapeutic!

[@Taffwildmanofthewoods]

What can I say? A great video beautiful winter landscape 👌 Lovely sound of that fire crackling 👍 I wish more females in UK were as adventurous as you.

[@TheTimberLife]

thank you!

Greetings from Nova Scotia Canada & its always nice to see a lone woman in the bush, doing bushcraft that mostly men do !! Keep up the good work Ms. 😉💯👍👌💪

[@TheTimberLife]

thank you!! Hoping to get out East soon, I visited Nova Scotia years ago and have wanted to go back to explore further ever since!

[@francescot3684]

Hi Caitlin! It will be a very interesting serie! We are always waiting to see what you will eat and this time too it was a grat meal. Interesting the plate with the handle for the toast, we've never seen it, but it's probably very common :-) We are going out to a whole day in the forest this Saturday, I was telling to my wife, " maybe the Timbers will give us some tips on what to cook and there it comes your video :-) Tack you very much for sharing! Greetings from Sweden! Ps. My wife says it is a good tip about the trousers from Fjallraven (Fjällräven in swedish means mountain fox or artic fox).

[@jokerswild7290]

Looking forward to seeing you develop your new spot. Stay warm!

[@ankitasood11]

Got a very useful fire tip that it needs oxygen (air flow) in the beginning and then just enjoy the process with patience :) Thank you cait !

Great skills. Hint: don't scrape your kettle clean, leave it blackened, it will boil faster. (Black attracts heat, shinny reflects it.)

[@mikestacey6623]

Always a treat to see one of your videos. It's in your blood and it shows. Hope you guys are staying safe and resting up for the next video. Can't wait!

[@DonnaConrady]

It makes me feel so good to see a capable woman doing her thing :) We've all had to learn the lessons first, no one is born fully knowledgeable. I look forward to seeing more lessons learned. I hope you all stay safe and well my friend :)) (p.s. I've always been in favor of a tipi (teepee) style shelter; makes me feel a bit more protected with using poles and tarp ;)

That sandwich is making me hungry. Can't wait for the build. 👍

Both types of wood will give you lots of spark showers at night for time lapses

[@Walibnzas]

That Agawa saw model seems a bit small. I have the larger model. Do you like the smaller one over a larger size?

[@TheTimberLife]

Ya it is the smallest of the bunch. I liked it for this trip since it fit in my pack nicely and I was impressed it ripped through the wood pretty good for its size. For one load of firewood it’s great. But we have the bigger models and I’ll definitely be using a bigger saw to build the shelter.

[@passerby9123]

Catlin, there is something great to watching a few of your actions and reactions to being in the woods and coping. I guess it's because you look so much like a city girl, and then leave your viewers sensing just how capable you are at looking after yourself in this far more natural and physically demanding environment. Without wishing to be sexist in any way, you do seem to portray several old takes on what used to be known as the weaker sex of womanhood in a very positive way. One that shows these mannerisms did not and do not display weakness at all, and that the concept of there being a weaker sex had little foundation in the minds of the men and women who believed in what their thoughts told them, as lived and experienced this crap as being an expression of reality. Painted nails, trying not to smudge the make up, dainty hand movements, awkward stances and sitting postures, a so refined little sniff every now and then ,and yet all of them are carried by a positive can do spirit that makes watching you so worthwhile.

Firemaking & Bushcraft Is Not An Exact Science For Every Outdoorsman. Whatever Works For You Or Anyone Else Is 'A' Ok... 👌 ~ "Why Didn't You Break The Branches For Firewood To The Exact Length Specifications!" 😆
