Solo Spring Wilderness Bushcraft - Frost River and Bushcraft Spain gear

Solo Spring Wilderness Bushcraft by The Wilderness Philosopher, featuring gear made by Frost River and Bushcraft Spain.
This is a celebration of warm days, clean air, lush foliage, melodic birdsong, and NO MOSQUITOS yet. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and while I didn't do anything special, I hope you enjoy the time of relaxation with me.
The tarp set up was just more of an overhead fly. Seeds and bugs were dropping every second, so I just wanted something overhead that would allow air flow on such a warm day.
Why do I promote Frost River and Bushcraft Spain in this video? Because they make quality items that last, and I believe in their gear. Period. If you need items, their links are below. I get no promotional materials nor payment from either. I pay what everyone pays.

I’ve watched countless bushcraft videos and have learned and taken away good info from many. I’ve subscribed to a few. But yours stand out as something particularly special. There’s a balance, a calm and a respect going on here that beyond the techniques and gear are really welcome and meaningful. I’m not much of a “God” adherent but I do acknowledge a ray of creation permeating everything not of human hand and I do view the natural world as a place of worship and peace. So I think we’re traveling kindred lines. Thanks for taking the time to share such quality videos. I’m sure it’s a lot of work.

Die Pfanne is ja schick… wo hast du die her…🤔Danke fürs mitnehmen und zeigen…🙏👍

[@thewildernessphilosopher]

es ist eine japanische Marke namens Iwachu und heißt Iwachu Omelettpfanne. Ich habe meine bei Amazon gekauft und Sie können sie wahrscheinlich auch dort finden. Sie ist nicht billig, aber wenn man sie gut pflegt, hält sie ein Leben lang. 👍🏽

[@cavemanNCC1701]

Love the frying pan , who makes it ? Great video ! 😁😁😁

[@thewildernessphilosopher]

Thanks very much. it's a Japanese brand called Iwachu, and it's called the Iwachu Omelet Pan. I bought mine on Amazon, and you can probably find it there. It is not cheap, but if taken care of, it will last a lifetime. 👍🏽

Hello, i was on Frost River's site in search of a canoe pack, saw your review of the Isle Royale pack, which lead me here. I am debating between the Grand Portage pack and the Isle Royale, both from Frost River. For me, a canoe pack needs to be big enough that everything than needs to stay dry can fit in the main compartment in a plastic pack liner, so no bedroll hanging off the outside of the pack, etc. Do you think the full size Isle Royale fits that description, or do i go with the larger Grand Portage? I like the water bottle pockets and ax sleeve on the Isle Royale, otherwise i would just get the Grand Portage and have extra space. Thanks for any insight, see you on the trail.

[@thewildernessphilosopher]

Hi there. Thanks for watching. You can compare cubic inches or liter volume on their site to determine which has more internal capacity, but I've done an awful lot of canoeing and portaging in my life, and the Isle Royale would be absolutely fine. I often pack my sleeping bag in the bottom to "fix its shape" with an open mouth, then pack it based on weight load and space, leaving room on top for things needed quickly. I've also inserted a waterproof bag inside and loaded it afterwards in the same way,and it's big enough. The only negative is that there is no way to attach a tump strap if you use them, but with the belt strap and sternum strap, I've found it to be comfortable . I hope that helps. It really is a nice, big, sturdy pack.

[@ramtharthegreat]

@thewildernessphilosopher thank you so much. I hadn't even realized the Isle Royale doesn't have a tumpline. Decisions, decisions.

[@jamesnelson-d3e]

Hope all is well haven’t seen any new post.

[@thewildernessphilosopher]

Yes, thank you. I'm doing well, and I hope you are as well. I'll be back out in the near future, perhaps within the month. Thanks again for being concerned. 🙂
