Survival Shelter - Winter Bushcraft Camping in Snow, Campfire Cooking, Post Snow Storm

[@LQarmy]

It’s a lot of fun to do something like this in the ice and snow. The heavy snow makes me shiver a little bit.

[@JoshuaGammon]

yes I like this simple trips where you don't need a lot of kit. It's a big but most of it was just my sleeping bag pushed in there freely.

[@ramblingrootscamp]

Great video Josh! Glad we finally got some snow in the Maritimes! The winter fun in the woods can begin!

[@JoshuaGammon]

You got that right! Maybe even snow shoe soon.

[@elle45789]

you must've slept good for the fire to go out! Good video. great scenery.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Oh yes. I pass right out in the cold air.

[@allendouglas786]

I really appreciate you talking and telling us what you are doing. I will be watching more of your videos keep up the AWESOME JOB. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏

[@JoshuaGammon]

I appreciate that! Thanks so much Allen

[@marieancel1877]

I love the vidéo and the camp thank you Josh

[@ellenariban7061]

This kind of video, I like most, Great camping ⛺️ video, Thanks for sharing ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@JoshuaGammon]

glad you like it Ellan.

[@xmind123]

Really Happy to see more of you this year !

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks and glad you like it. Hope to be out again soon.

[@jamesgammon5716]

Awesome video! Loved it. I missed trees

[@WildernessWondersTV1]

Nature is the best decorator, especially in a snow-covered camp

[@peterkunka2694]

Good overnight stay making the best of the recent storm and downed trees. Nice choice for dinner... garlic and beef goes well together. I've got scheduled service appointments for the truck and camper these next couple of weeks and then back out again soon afterwards to catch more winter camping before the season ends. Hope you get out more often, too! Cheers! Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL

[@JoshuaGammon]

Hey Peters. Good to hear your'll be back out there soon. Service appt can be a pain. Looking forward to your pictures of your adventures. Hope to get out for a hot tent camp next.

[@salvefrans2011]

Thanks for posting again Joshua...

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks Salvefrans. Hope you are having a great weekend.

[@aussiedonaldduck2854]

G'day Josh, Great video yet again, SNOW! -10c well it's 35c and humid here YUCK - My daughter just got back from 2 months in Britain/France/Germany - with 3 friends - they had a house in Scotland with a wood fire but she was the only one who knew how to get it started - I guess all those camping trips paid off.

[@JoshuaGammon]

hey buddy. Ya something not a lot of people learn how to do. Driving a car, swimming, ride a bike and make a fire everyone should know how to do. When my daughter is 16 she just need the driving a car. lol

[@lewisrountreeiii2937]

Good stuff Josh! It's great to see the 'Company' branching out (see what I done there?) into smaller single occupant dwellings. Perhaps you can rent these out to wilderness 'newbies' and help them break into the bush craft life style. Thank you for the vicious Canadian rabbit warning, we don't have them here on the east coast US, we have vicious chipmunks. On a side note how did feeding the longer logs into your fire work out? That is similar to a Siberian log fire, less processing, longer burn time. Keep those cameras rolling sir!

[@JoshuaGammon]

I should air BNB the shelters. Some one said that before. lol. feeding the logs like this was great. less cutting and using energy. I'd be worried about them vicious chipmunks. Hope they said south of me. 😂

[@herbsmith6871]

Very nice my friend! Thanks for sharing 🤠

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks so much Herb. Glad you are doing well.

[@ByteBook]

I am like addicted to your videos, so it's so cosy, so beautiful to watch it keep going, mate❤

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks so much BB. Glad you like the style. No drama here. But just a simple fun camp.

[@FPHA697]

Awesome video brother.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Glad you liked it. thanks so much.

[@gloriamckay5883]

Great video, surely enjoyed it.✌️

[@JoshuaGammon]

Awesome, thank you Gloria.

[@aideperez-pena7716]

Great video like always!

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks again Aideperez-pena. Have a great day.

[@joshbreeze1865]

Fun video Josh, wanted to ask what type of pants were you hiking/working in ? And if the temp was going to drop a great deal more what would you change? Clothing wise. Again thanks for the share.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Most of my outwear is from www.helikon-tex.com as there are durable hold up well. If you get into colder you have to layer up with base layers, but at some point you may need a heavy winter pants and jacket. Everyone is different and the camp situation will play a roll. Fire will be key if you don't have heavy winter pants and jacket. It's something you have to try, but please becare if you do. Have a backout plan that will not fail you if you are training yourself.

[@ReneVandyk]

Hi Joshl that food is Awesome and Amazing mmmm good 😊

[@ScottRauber]

Great vid. Thx for posting. It may get down to -15 as the low is always just as the sun has come up and the temps are still dropping. They call for the overnight low to be such and such but fact is, it's doesn't actually happen to the following morning just after the sun has come up. It never, never, never happens that night before midnight. Checked it 100 times if I've checked it once.

[@JoshuaGammon]

yes you are right. I fine the coldest time is between 4-6am

[@tomlorenzen4062]

Good one Josh!

[@jameswhitehead4889]

You are good to understand, the why's and so on. Nice presentation.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks so much James. have a great week.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Good overnighter Josh Seeing all the deadfall, that storm must have had a lot of high wind!

[@JoshuaGammon]

Ya the winds were really bad. Lot of folks around here lost power for 5 days.

[@denssurachman3010]

I love your content. Greetings from Indonesia

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@prophotos365]

A question I have had for a long time, you have the shelter built and tree boughs for a roof, works in the snow but not the rain. Why not a tarp on top of the boughs to become more water proof? Like your videos!!

[@JoshuaGammon]

yes for sure I could. If it was spring or fall when there is a chance of rain I could have to. This is really only good for winter.

[@ricksmith5230]

Those must be some mean rabbits😂

[@ArizonaKid]

you are one tuff man 14 f is cold cold cold for my Arizona bones lol - God Bless and see ya on the next one

[@JoshuaGammon]

lol ya I guess if you are not used to it it's going to be cold. This is my happy temp for camping. Not to warm, no bugs but refreshing. lol

[@orenshveka343]

Beautiful

[@Drrayoldman]

This is not survival, it’s building a primitive kitchen for an outdoor cooking show

[@JoshuaGammon]

It’s a pretty basic kitchen though.

[@oneispispike3205]

[@robmetcalfe8902]

Great video

[@JoshuaGammon]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dyaamajed9639]

My friend, what a wonderful person you are in existence, how wonderful a person you are in your presence among beautiful books, because you are a beautiful person who loves life and practices love and adventure. ⚘❤

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks again Dyaa. Glad you enjoyed the video so much. Hope you are having a great day.

[@gregmason2208]

If you know that your shelter will not stop rain, then why didn't you bring a plastic/canvas with you? Light and easy to carry with such great effect. Any way I liked your Vid. Good work.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Glad you liked it greg. Yes a tarp would be great but wanted to try without.

[@Vù.lử.thảo.dược1992]

Hello so goy very good 👍 very cold🥶🥶🥶

Hi Joshl I am new to your channel what an Awesome Beautiful Amazing Scenery 😊

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks so much. Welcome to the channel and glad you enjoy the videos.

[@jefftorrey1831]

Never seen a fellow worried about a rabbit attack, lol!!!

[@JoshuaGammon]

Lol. 😉

[@tuckerandi]

Great video Josh, I subscribed a while back but seems my notifications got turned off went in tonight looking at my subscription list (that's fairly long lol) and realized I had previously enjoyed your videos but hadn't seen one in a while, what a video for me to come in on tonight, this is an excellent one enjoyed it from start to finish great shelter definitely could spend a while there if you had to. Hopefully I'll get my notifications working now and I have some catching up to do

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks and glad you like the videos so much. KZbin is hit and miss with there notifications etc. Hope you have a great weekend.

Looked like a good opportunity where you were cutting the bows

[@skipper4114]

Another great video. What size is your backpack? the 30L or 55L? cheers from the NWT.

[@JoshuaGammon]

hey Skipper. This one is the XL. I think 55L

[@advphilnb]

Yessir!! Nice work man, great camp set-up. Curious if you find the marino wool base layer worth the investment. Kudos for leaving a shelter for those ferocious rabbits, lol. Cheers, and keep well!

[@JoshuaGammon]

The Marino wool seems to do a good job at getting the dam off for sure. For me it's worth it as I'm out in the bush alot

[@mazzer51QS]

Surely it’s warmer if you have a cover over the front made with the pine branches ?

[@JoshuaGammon]

I could have but this was great to let some heat in but still see outside

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I LIKE the winter camping techniques!🤩 All that tree fall made me dream of bringing an electric chainsaw instead of an axe. 😇 A fella could prepare a bunch more boughs and firewood that way. I have done my share of camping in The Old Way and am ready to see new technology tried out in camp.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Hey James. I like to mix it up with the old and new ways. Good practice. Hope you have a good one.

[@GAPTEXPLORE]

*_Hello Joshua... sorry if my question is too stupid, because in my country there is no snow, so isn't it cold camping when there is a lot of snow?... Greetings from Indonesia...._* 🤝🙏

[@JoshuaGammon]

It is cold. But when you get used to it, it's not so bad. But at the same time you have to dress your self in layers of cloths and have a sleeping bag for the temps. Getting out of your sleeping bag into your cloths is the worse part to me. lol

[@GAPTEXPLORE]

@@JoshuaGammon OK, I'm satisfied with your explanation, because I make outdoor video tutorials, of course this can be my data material.... 👍🙏

[@HankyPanky44]

Watch out for those ferocious rabbits!😁

[@JoshuaGammon]

Lol. Ya there bad here 😏

[@Arms872]

Not sure where you are, but it was a weird winter in Ontario, Canada. Little snow and cold, lots of rain. Sucked.

Just east in NB. Yes the winter was very warm and short. Didn't even snow shoe once.

[@JoshuaGammon]

[@redfields5070]

Where I live it usually alternates between rain and snow and hail, so, if it rains what are you going to do? It would be a hell of a situation if you're sleeping in the middle of the night and it starts raining.

[@JoshuaGammon]

For sure this is not water proof. I think I said that in the video. But good enough for overnight and snow.

[@dang1861]

Use what's available but too bad that felled tree isn't a Douglas Fir. Nice, soft needles. Spruce can be prickly

[@JoshuaGammon]

Yeah, it was a little prickly but I was able to make it work.

[@mildthing]

[@HikerBikerMoter]

Be very careful of the voracious rabbits attacking from the back while asleep- and biting off a chunk of your exposed neck 🐰🐰🐰 🐇

[@JoshuaGammon]

Lol. Yes for sure

[@utubeape]

Do you think any animal would sleep in the shelter after you left or would they be pur off by the human smell (no offence to you!)

[@JoshuaGammon]

Not sure. I have never seen animal signs in my shelters before.

[@patrickcollin7557]

Nice 🤟

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks 🔥

[@mazzer51QS]

I never understand why you would not have a door of some sort any predators that might be about !

[@JoshuaGammon]

It's just a quick simple shelter for a short time.

[@redfields5070]

The fire will keep the predators away. The open front of the shelter allows the heat from the fire to enter. With a closed in front you can't have an open fire inside. Given more time, some would create a surrounding wall to reflect more of the heat his way.

[@EsyuDach]

the first question is "wth are you doing out there? especially, wth are you doint without a sled full of gear and food? Resinous wood burns, green or not, wet or not, due to the sap being full of turpentine. You just have to know how to use the Siberian fire Lay and the Alternative Swedish fire torch. The swede or maybe 2 of them, are used to ignite the Siberian when all else is wet. The only dry wood needed is the shavings and scrapings that fill up the inside of the 4 log Swede bundle. The Swede dries out and burns from the inside out. The Siberian does so from the ends of the logs, wheere they protrude about 1 ft over the cross log. If all you have is small logs, drive 4 stakes and stack logs between the stakes, forming a wall.. Lay your burn logs over this "wall". You dont want your wall to burn, so plaster the fire side of the wall with a 3 " thick layer of mud. If you have to make a fire pit to melt snow and create the mud, do so.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks for all the great tips 👍🔥

[@dannybrowning2068]

what is the bow saw you used?

[@JoshuaGammon]

The saw is from Agawa

[@waynesorrells3761]

You know I'm just telling the truth how I see it and if you can't take the truth and deal with smarter people than you send stop putting. Videos out because everybody goes camping. Well maybe not everybody but they've least tried it. I've been doing it since I was about 8 years old and I'm 65 so show me that you know something.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Hey Wayne you must really like my video you are commenting a lot on this one. Thanks so much for the support.

[@waynesorrells3761]

Do you think that you're repeating with somebody else's done said? Everybody can see where you're at in the woods so you have to explain it like you. Think you're smarter than everybody people like. You need to wake up and look at your customers. Or you're subscribers in the fined out the Sun different that you can give Em that another 10000 people who that Scene it 1000 times.

[@waynesorrells3761]

Don't explain every little detail because the people whose watching you has seen 10000 KZbin or doing the same. Thing so do you think you're smarter than the people who's watching you or do you think they've seen it before in? Please be smarter about it these just questions you have to ash yourself. And if you can't Ask. yourself them. Then don't prove a video.
