Solo Backcountry Bushcraft Tarp Camp

[@RavenCro-g8t]

Looks to me like that Aspen tree fell in the right place... right in the fire pit. I have fibromyalgia, and one of the side effects of it is depression... I always feel better when I watch your videos. A sense of peace and calm always pervade the low times, and I'm always left inspired to get my old carcass outside where I belong. So thanks for continuing to crank out the good times. I'd love to share a camp with you sometime, if only Alberta and Alaska weren't so far apart... Peace to you my friend, it's always good to see you. ~Tim

Nice to see a young man enjoying the outdoors and his pipe. We old-timers remember the days.

[@Neoviper240]

You are the Bob Ross of camping. Thanks for the content!

[@YK-ky7xk]

Simple tools, extraordinary skill, true bushcraft spirit

[@Mark--Todd]

It's such a good thing to have a 'happy place'.

[@KeninPen]

I really enjoy your informative video’s, especially your laid back presentation without trying to sell anything but a comfortable way of backcountry living! 👍

[@WestForkWoodsman]

Another great campout. I had my name on that second breakfast sandwich, but you must've ate it. I enjoy this channel because you are a young man that actually handles his tools with skill. A lot gets done, without too much struggle. That is woodsmanship at its finest!

[@muddyfunster69]

Always so glad to watch your videos leaving that ‘stump’ standing is also so good for the eco the bugs will love it !!

[@timothyscott3116]

Girlfriend: "Are you watching that bearded forest guy again?" Me: "Yep!"

[@kuukkeli88]

"which one of them?"

[@boodledemic6430]

I actually recommended this channel to my bf 😊

[@metamud8686]

This is the "bearded woodsman" channel. There is also a "wooded beardsman" channel here on YT.

[@Kalinalynara]

I am woman and I am here because there are many things that I like about your channel but I will highlight the most impactful to me: your gratitude and your resourcefulness.

[@4trialsin]

Great video, you are the Richard Proenneke of our time.

[@B25gunship]

We all need a "Happy Place". This seems to be it. Great campsite. Can't wait to see your home improvements.

[@lilyavery8230]

Very Cozy. And that fire… zero to hero! Nicely done ✅ always inspired when I stop by. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@markrossnagel4680]

Wonderful night out. Thank you so much for taking us along, I always appreciate the invite. Stay safe and God bless.

[@jessicaleighdargaclark4536]

Bud, Your videos are so relaxing, inspiring and honest…🙏💯❤️

This guys legit!!! I'm learning something everytime i watch. Thank you!

[@Mike990920]

I simply can’t say enough just how much I enjoy your videos. I’ve watched numerous bushcraft channels and yours really is the best! ☮️💕

[@evry1sfriend619]

The spatula is awesome!!!!!

[@darrylthehorntoadpiper]

Very nice whittling jog to make that spatula. 🤠👍

[@t.davidgordon2425]

Thank you for sharing your experience/s with the rest of us. What we do not see is your editorial work, which must be very time-consuming. I always learn from you (and I will be 70 soon), and am always inspired to return to the forest, and to grow in my woodsmanship. Be safe, and enjoy the forest.

[@cmh8133]

Nice to see your old camp. That series was a fave of mine.

[@dobrofool]

That tree. Most guys… “Oh man. Let me go back to the truck and get my chain saw…” You rocked that thing from underneath with no issue. Love it 👍

[@aaronwilcox6417]

Finally. Someone who understands how to properly buck up wood with a saw. Even the really well known and deceased bushcraft folks really dont have the knowhow

[@donaldhofman5257]

That coyote sure didn't like you being there!

[@canesser1]

Beauty camp and spatula. Between you, Swedwoods, and Asbjorn Olsen-Berg it is a trifecta of complimentary content. You restore that which society has lost. Days of Noah Bro. God bless. Maranatha!

what a beautiful campfire. Bet it was lovely and warm. And that breakfast! oh my goodness!

[@hikingandbackpackingadventures]

Hope you found the egg shell in that 2nd egg you dropped in the skillet before you got a bite of it. Was hoping you would have seen it before the white covered it up. LOL. Good video. Thanks!

[@doberski6855]

Nice to see how well the tarp camp survived the winter, you were lucky with how that tree fell. To bad it was an Aspen, between the rot and from what I remember aspen firewood is not very good. Totally agree about wieners cooked over a campfire on a stick being the best. If you try to duplicate that cooking method at home, remember to turn on the exhaust fan over the stove, open some windows, and most important. Take down the smoke alarm and pull the battery!🤣

[@Jesus4444me]

What a perfect camp, enjoy it my friend! Truly a work of art is your newest spatula, very nice work! Thank you for sharing your trip with us. God bless you brother.

[@Brunonfire]

I always get amazed when people find or when i find back things i left in the forest. It makes me realize that no one passed through that specific zone.

[@ericstoever9577]

Thanks for sharing your time out. Be well, stay safe and god bless!

[@J0rdan1987]

Ufc300 and a new kusk upload. Brilliant day to be alive!

[@allangarrity8778]

That was a great sunday morning watch for me in Oxford, England. Great skills - total respect for the environment. Looking forwarfd to the next one

[@paulacreman4413]

Lovely relaxing video, what a wonderful camp you have. I'm looking forward to seeing you develop it a bit more. Good simple kit. Cheers, Paul

[@balthezar1]

Thanks for another great video. Glad to see you back out enjoying the outdoors. Hoping to be able to do this type of camping again myself now that I have a nice piece of property to be able to enjoy. No better way to relax and recharge. Keep up the great work.

[@ralfgroh2719]

Not exactly an amateur, but willing to learn new things! Thanks!

[@wendelclements6448]

Hey man I’m a new subscriber. I really enjoyed the simplicity of this trip. Your bush crafting skill are amazing man. Love the spatula man. And you are one of the few I watch that cooked a breakfast that looked so good and not burnt lol. Looking forward to your next one. Will be watching as many of your previous ones as well. Safe travels man

[@mikeconnor5668]

Another nice evening in the bush. Almost feels like being there!

[@d.lawrencemiller5755]

Great idea! I'm gonna try rounding off just the part of the spine my thumb touches and keep a bit of square nearer the tip for the fire starter

[@martijnlangeveld817]

Thank you Riley for this nice video, for some reason I didnt see it in april, when you publicited it on the channel, thanks anyways, looking forward to see more overnighters, the ones I like most.. thanks anyway, and peace and health for you!❤

[@Kpearso1]

Long form is your best material. Great job and video Kusk!

[@herbsmith6871]

Very nice my friend! I so look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing😎

[@loungelizard3922]

I really look forward to your videos. You've inspired me to order a Helko Rheinland hatchet and a Mora 120 carving knife so I can have my own adventures in the National Forest a km from my house. I've found a disused trail that isn't being maintained anymore and gets zero foot traffic. I'm sure I can find a spot there to get started. You're my favourite bushcrafting channel, love the minimalism.

[@yourpain4969]

enjoying your video, Kusk! also just a quick reminder that your beard is incredible :)

[@KlayWisseh]

Oh it’s still up and functional! That’s damn good.

Living the life man. I love your clips so much and just yearn to do what you do, but the time and place doesn’t allow me. Your clips are very relaxing and immersive, keep up the nice work! Much love.

This was very nice. Nice looking spatula. Cheers, and God Bless! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦

[@fmike15]

My wife and I always enjoy your videos no matter the content. I'd like to see you do more improvements to this campsite. A friend of mine has a lot of wooded property here in Ky. and I'd like some more ideas about making a small, unobtrusive campsite there. Thanks for your videos!

[@gud2go50]

I like your videos a lot! You are very knowledgeable and present yourself in a mellow way. Just straight forward with nothing fancy!😊 Good to go!

[@terrym1065]

Excellent brother Kusk👍👍 Nice to be able to return to a previously established camp and still find it standing and usable. Lucky with the tree, handy resource, firewood for days. Do you carry protection on trips not associated with hunting? Yeah, great camp, fire, food, activity and relaxation, hard to beat. Thanks for the work and trip, very enjoyable. See you soon.

[@dyandrhea735]

Very creative editing, This is a real camping. Please shout out to the campers in the Philippines. Dy and Rhea

[@d.lawrencemiller5755]

I love that in the closed captions the AI thinks the logs cracking is applause. It makes it seem like the tree is pleased by your work with the saw. 😂

I was hoping you’d set up a keyhole fire pit but you didn’t set up any fire pit at all. I should have known better because you’ve done that before. I’m just glad you posted another video 😊

[@RandyDavis2500]

Another great video! You are an amazing woodsman, thank you for sharing your expertise and philosophy!!! You are making an impact on countless lives and inspiring wilderness stewardship. Thank you! I have a question to help resolve my ignorance ... with you being in grizzly territory, I always hear one should cook and eat their food a significant distance from where they sleep. I wonder if that is true? You don't seem to share that concern, and I assume you have never had a problem preparing and eating meals in front of your shelter. Your approach resonates better with me. What are your thoughts about not eating in camp in grizzly countryversus eating in camp? Thank you!

[@Railfan62]

Great video and great camp!

I have watched for a long time. Love what you do. Here in Western Montana, we can't do what you do. The grizzly bears are so bad you cook anything they come running. It sucks.

[@hansesselink9386]

Very nice fire lighting with hust enough fforce to get material but no sparks. Just the way to do it Wish we had the room and the laws to do it here in western europe ( netherlands) Just a question about your trousers, what material are they made of?

Thank god you have that place to go to .. Where we went .. homeless people showed up and left their garbage and what not ... Sad 😔

[@Sloppy7ths]

I've used nothing but Sorel winter boots in the winter since age 3 to age 44, but I never thought to wear them out in the woods like that. You must have to lace them up tight for the hike in but I'm sure they're wicked comfy around camp...
