There's scammers using your logo to trick people up. They use a WhatsApp name and tried to tell me I won something. Just FYI. You're one of my favorites to watch on KZbin so I don't want them messing up your channel

Here's something you might try, if you have a shovel. Dig a shallow trench, no more than 6 or 8 inches deep. Lay sticks horizontally across it, cover them with a layer of veg for padding, and then pitch your bivvy or shelter across that. Warmer and a lot more comfortable than the bare ground! And a thin layer of dead leaves or pine straw in the trench can make it even more insulated.

[@stevesmith8854]

Interesting idea

[@StortebeckerSF]

@Ski if you're sleeping on the ground always dig a small moat for water drainage, so your sleeping area remains dry

[@kanik096]

Make the ”bed” before You make the ”roof” of the shelter.

[@redfaux74]

Shovels are necessary pieces of gear. The Cold Steel shovel is aerodynamic. Very well balanced weapon.

4:30 If you must camp under a partially fallen tree, it’s always best to brace it with a Y branch and by lashing it to the tree(s) it’s caught in. It’d be a rude awakening if a storm came through and your roof collapsed. Extra support is always a good idea.

[@davidchester429]

Would have to be one hell of a y branch to support a tree

Always taught my daughter about this style of survival, especially trees that have blown over, the roots that have upturned is a natural backstop and I doubt its gauna blow over again so there's your shelter, just remember to stay in the tree side and not the exposed root side where further trees can come down on you in the prevailing wind direction that brought your tree down.

[@alanrice39]

Great stealth shelters. I would never be out in the bush or anywhere without tools, but good to know how to not use tools. No body has any business in the bush without at least a knife. Good video.

[@Daja_Vu1986]

Might want to mention in future videos about paying attention to the canopy above where you plan to stay. Dead tree's that fall can kill you and it's very dangerous. Love the content

[@ristopoho824]

I was going to ask about what to do in the winter when all the shrubbery to use for the roofing is covered by snow. But. Yea. Just use snow...

As a kid I use hide a lot to see if people would ever notice me. There were places I hid that were so close to getting spotted but never happened . Could’ve ambushed easily. Have even evaded the police once bunking school.

[@BinManSays87]

I still love my vintage green Vango force ten MK1 because it sort of does it all apart from being spacious but at 1.8kg all in the bag for a four season tent that can hack it in the windy hills, half a lavvu can make for a fairly stealthy pitch too but if I'm lugging that beast about I'm going somewhere pretty and let everyone passing through see it in all its glory

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

[@Zanaze_banane]

I love bushcraft but wouldn't even attempt it for a stealth camp. All the rustling around, snapping sticks could attract attention plus ideally you want to be in during low light and out quickly.

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks Mike. 👍😁

[@sirsmokealot96]

Awesome video. We have a really bad problem with ticks and lymes disease here in New York or at least here in the North Country so I have to be very careful laying on the ground camping it’s almost a really bad idea wich is a bummer because when I was a kid I did it all the time and we didn’t have ticks.

[@aidan_kiwi_cat5637]

Excuse me for asking but what is your name? I like watching your channel. Also where is your friend. The one that helped you build the Viking shelter. I like watching his channel too.

Does the mylar work to a useful degree?

[@TAOutdoors]

Yes when it’s closer to your body. It really comes into play when you have a fire. It reflects the heat of the fire back onto you.

[@ericmiddelbos129]

I find it all very beautiful and seductive. the only thing that often stops me is the danger of a tick when I see leaves or sleep in the forest.

[@kingrafa3938]

Love this kind of video 👍

[@andysilber2702]

I like this video. The points made are logical and "easy" to follow. Not pointed out but the smaller, "stealth" shelters are good for keeping the shelter warmer.

[@stevenmark8156]

Especially if a snake or animal gets in there with you in the middle of the night to share heat. Lol

Here's something for other outdoorsman's to try find a green top either a giant bush or green brush tree that hasn't green brushes low to the ground grab other tree that's fallen on the ground that still has leaf's the only issue with stealth camping is the fire once it's puffins smoke everybody can find you and I've done plenty of stealth camping even in suburban neighborhoods sometimes in between giant wooden privacy fence that has a gap between them and when there's a gap that's big enough for you to slide in and have green cover sometimes the tree leaves is all you need because they block all kinds of rain and provide camouflage and some really big bushes out there can be so big that you can hide inside of them and have room enough to walk around in

[@phoebegraveyard7225]

It strikes me that with the c fly shelter, ground elevation is an issue. If the rain starts coming down, you want the runoff to head away from your groundsheet.

[@joakimblomqvist7229]

Stealth camping tips... yes indeed! But you missed location. Glens are no good for promoting invisibility hehe, huge fires tend to be easily spotted. Same goes for space blankets. The shelters are grand and yes, the vid is excellent for demonstrating how to build them but as any real estate salesman would say: Location, location, location! ❤😁

[@HughStLeger]

Warning do not sleep under a fallen tree it may fall and trap or injure you make sure you stay to the side,if you can't lift it ,don't sleep under it

[@P_RO_]

They also drip water directly underneath in the rain, so just build to the side regardless.

[@christopherrandall3124]

Really cool but 2 things I wouldn't do is use an old dead tree for a shelter and I wouldn't use moss on my shelter. If you're gonna use a dead tree for a shelter, make sure it's not old because the older ones can be infested. As for moss, worms love the stuff. It would be raining spaghetti all night. I'd wait a day or 2 before using the moss method if you really want to go that route.

[@redfaux74]

People need to conceal that black triangle. Trim branches 2 to 3 feet around it with leaves. Step back 10 feet to visualize. Step back 20 feet and modify. Leave little gaps so you can see the enemy but they cannot see you. There is not much more unnatural than a big black straight edged triangle in the wild. I like to use binder clips to hang branches to cover mine.

If you are averse to spiders, bugs and dirty grime and mud, think about setting up a covered hammock. That's much cleaner, although it's not very stealthy.

[@rchap-grab]

Thermal image devices are now cheap and easily available, so the camouflage needs to blend in thermally as well as visibly. The remains of any fire will be detectable for hours too. This vid is good but please do another covering thermal camouflage. How good is a survival blanket for example?
