Solo Bushcraft Overnighter Next to Icy Creek

In the cold days of January I spend a night in the Albertan wilderness next to an ice-covered creek. Join me as I sleep under an open tarp shelter, carve a set of bushcraft tongs, and cook up some great tasting meals.

Ryley, you got 6 thumbs down because you didn't bring any dipping sauce for your chicken. Let's pay attention to detail going forward. 😂😂😂

"Dipping sauce"? It's called "biscuits and gravy".

Your videos are perfect in my book. No endless chatter or music! The multiple viewpoints with the camera are really great. Your cooking skills are noteworthy for everyone to enjoy! Thanks for sharing your outdoor skills. Truly fun to watch.

Dude your food looked amazing, definitely what a night out like that is all about. Being out in nature and cooking good food over a camp fire 🔥 👍

[@PuppyB2000]

Great video. I can’t get enough of watching people bushcrafting and cooking in the woods with no talking. I watch these all day when I’m stuck at work. Chicken fingers was a next level flex.

I can smell the deliciousness from my home !! Going camping in two weeks, I'm pretty excited for this, and even more now !!

[@huskygrom4103]

I love that you don’t talk and you let the natural sound of nature, the crackling of wood fire, wind, water all the things you cook all speak volumes! Thank you so much, it’s so relaxing, made me subscribe to your videos!

[@williampysell2819]

Excellent skills in carving and assembling your tongs! The fish and potatoes meal looked to be very delicious! Good video.

[@nookied3735]

One of the most enjoyable bushcraft expeditions I've watched. Great job. Very relaxing.

Just the perfect outdoors video - inspires me to get my butt off from behind this desk and go out into the wilds.

I liked the tarp and foods! Thumbs up Ryley

[@thaifoodlover5296]

Best Campfire cook I have seen on KZbin. Your patience with building coals and cooking there, rather than over the open flames is the way to go. I laugh at people who build a raging inferno, put a grate over it and expect good result. One of my favorite meals in the bush is bacon stuffed stick bannock. Cook the bacon, wrap the stick, add the bannock dough and roast slowly over coals. Yummy. I carry a bandolier loaded with spices, sauces and herbs. It holds 24 vials that I repurposed from Ginseng shots. I wear it across my back under my pack. Imagine people's surprise when I whip up Sechuan Stir Fry in the bush, lol. Great Vid!

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thaifoodlover Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it. Coal cooking is something my Dad taught me, and it always brings the best results. 👍 That bacon stuffed stick bannock sounds tasty! I'll have to try it one day. You sound like more of a chef than I am haha, I usually carry salt and pepper and maybe some seasoning salt. I'll have to step up my game to be on your level haha. Thanks again, take care and happy trails.

[@pavelhoman2830]

Thank you Ryley for sharing another nice video. I like woodworking. I must try carving the tongs too. Thanks for inspiration. Take care of yourself.

[@KuskBushcraft]

The tongs are a fun and easy project, great for a quick little carving session. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it. You take care as well!

[@adrianhall210]

Hey Ryley, another really good video from you today. I like your minimalist style, goes to show you that you don't need a ton of gear to get out there. As Mors Kochanski says , " the more you know the less you need". The food looked great and nice bush tongs, really cool.👍

[@KuskBushcraft]

Adrian Hall Thanks for the comment! I've always been a fan of crafting items you need instead of packing them in. Thanks for watching! Take care.

Great video! Good trick with the flat stones for a seat! You could stack them close to the fire to get warm when you’re not sitting, then pull them back and re-stack for a warm chair in the cold evening. Great job on the tongs also!

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@jameslang1354]

Excellent!

[@TheScoundrel70]

Looks like you had another great trip! The tongs turned out great, very well done. I'm trying to make the mental switch to make more items at camp rather than bring them. It's added a self-challenge to my outings and I've found I really enjoy the process of solving wants and needs by creating the solutions from wild resources. Trying first to reproduce what I've seen or read, then trying different ways or materials. It doesn't hurt that the kit you carry becomes more tool oriented. 😄👍🏻

[@KuskBushcraft]

I couldn't agree more with what you said. Plus learning how to make items yourself leaves you at an advantage if you ever find yourself in a situation where those items aren't available. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! Take care, Sean. Cheers.
