Snow at the Lavvu - Campfire Lunch in the Woods | Bjørn Andreas Bull-Hansen | Viking Bushcraft

Finally snow! I went up to the lavvu and made lunch over the campfire. It was a cold and beautiful winter day for the Viking bushcrafter here in Norway!

I like the simplicity of Björn videos…yet the message is always there, always profound… those who have ears…listen!!! And yes, I also can feel the warming welcome of the Spirit of the Forest (if you come respectfully and with good intentions)! Stay well Björn, take care!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks for your kind words, my friend.

[@erycbloodaxe]

Beards Never liked them till I turned 14 then it just grew on me

[@raymondroberts7490]

I have a full moustache. I love to have peanut butter on toast (you can imagine how messy that is, lol). The forest creates a microclimate , making it warmer in winter, and cooler in summer. And as you say, the forest will keep anyone alive, if they have taken the time to learn about it, and they respect it. Another awesome video, Bjørn. I'm glad I had dinner before I watched, even then my tummy was rumbling at the thought of chicken curry, lol

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Ah, chicken curry is good. I have to stock more of that one. Yes, that is the word - microclimate. I often forget the words when I talk to the camera.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

It is nice to know others are respecting that space.I use my rod and striker the same way you do all the time. I have never thought about doing it the other way. 1 or 2 strikes is all that is needed.Thanks for a nice relaxing visit Bjorn. Nicely done my friend.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Glad you liked it. I usually strike with the knife, but if the ground is even and not rocky, I do it like I did in this video.

[@MrTatts64]

How to light a fire with a ferro rod... The quickest and easiest method that works for the individual, I would call the "right way". Same as the bowdrill or any other method. Personally, I prefer a cigarette lighter, but carry a ferro rod in case it runs out / gets lost / or what ever. Why? Because I find the easiest and most efficient. Am I right? probably not. But when cold and / or hungry I see no point in wasting effort by doing things the "proper" way ;) Thanks for another great video Bjorn!

[@guyh.4553]

Are you right? Of course you're right...for yourself. You do what is best for you, not everyone else.

[@branni6538]

Its good to learn all skill sets but to pick and be proficient in a few/couple only that work in all environments. A lighter is the way forward yes but you cant beat rock n steel for long term replacement. If like me you go from a 34 year old fit healthy lad to 39 and weakened to the core by a series of health problems of which there is no recovery then strenuous friction fire methods that i could once do easily are out of reach now. The physical activity creates issues that can kill me so i'll go with a lighter, matches or flint n steel. I simply cannot do friction fire anymore and boy have i tried. Weak to the core. Its point often overlooked. Only do what you can do. Wasting energy in a serious scenario can be the life or death knell if you burn out.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Very sensible. Have the most secure way of lighting a fire available, and consider everything else a secondary alternative, I say. But I rarely find myself in a situation where I can not take some extra time lighting my fire. I like to do it a bit more complicated.

[@martialme84]

[@ActivateMission2ThisTimeline]

@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen Bjorn, have you ever thought about getting an emergency Locator Beacon? They don't cost that much you can put them in your backpack. If you ever fall and hurt yourself or something else happens you can initiate the beacon and they can find you within about 10 ft to where you are. Since you're out there alone a lot of times it might be a good investment for you. If you fall and break a leg or something like that this could save your life. Regards, Q

[@ActivateMission2ThisTimeline]

@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen just wanted to tell you that you should consider putting that food in the stainless pot instead of getting it out of a plastic bag. When you heat the plastic to Boiling it emits chemicals into your food . So much better for you in the long run not to put the hot water into plastic bag.. Love your videos, love your effect on mankind, and love your easygoing attitude. We all need a little bit more of this. Regards, Q

OK, now i know what I'll have for dinner today thanks to you, Bjorn. It's no quite 4 AM in the morning here, and I'm wide awake now watching your vlog. Thanks again! No mustache or beard anymore. They required too much upkeep, and I was tired of the mice coming to feed night in it... I just came back from 3 days in the high desert of California, near Joshua Tree National Monument. It's something to behold! Three days out near continuous rain- 76mm, 5°C ! I was hoping for snow! All that water, no snow where I was, but in the nearby mountains there was fresh snow. Stay warm & dry, my friend!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

That is incredibly fascinating, I want to go there one day. But I thought it'd be warmer? It only shows how little I know about deserts.

[@brucematys6064]

I so glad you didn't get hurt when you slipped on the way to the Lavvu Bjorn, the last time that happened to me I cracked 2 ribs. I really enjoyed the video as it gave me a chance to relax listening to you and yes I have a beard and mustache! Cheers!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

It was a close call, actually. Two ribs, that must have hurt!

[@brucematys6064]

@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen yes it was extremely painful, it hurt to breathe, laugh, sneeze etc, it took about 6 months to feel normal again, it tought me to be very careful around snow and ice, lol!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Yes, I've heard. Scotland is beautiful covered in snow. Glad to contribute to your bushcraft journey!

Thanks, Wayne. A friend of my daughter is from Australia and she told us about the temperature there... Very warm indeed!

[@BradGad]

Another great video... as always, thought provoking and quietly inspiring. And, yep, moustashe and beard here.

[@mtnman4766]

Hi Bjorn! At my age I started using a trekking pole or staff when out in the woods. Carrying a day pack and rifle during hunting season can throw off my balance. So while walking on steep or slippery ground a staff keeps me from slipping and falling. Yes, I have a “cookie duster” (mustache) that saves a snack for later😜. Good video as always! Farvel, venn!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Very good advice! I have actually thought about bringing a stick my height as it would make it easier to set up the frame for the pictures.

[@jasonbray1622]

Loved watching this during the lockdown. I may start getting up early and go for some hikes. I also have beard and moustache!

Good morning, Bjorn! I love the lavvu and the area you're in. A great way to have breakfast. As a man with a beard and moustache, I have learned one thing...a napkin is your "best friend" ! ;)

I know precisely what you mean about the food and liquids giving a certain character to facial hair, haha.

[@mike_outdoors4918]

Really nice video Bjorn, thanks 😃👍 I don't understand why people get so angry about ferro rod technique, if it works, great. Plus it often depends on environment, as you said, plus tinder type, and even the compound hardness matters, so there is no absolute right way to use one. Thanks for sharing, have never used a Silky, but love my laplander 😃

[@TACHILL]

For ferro rod... for any fire! Its what works best for you as long as you got the fire you did it the right way. Haha my beard and mustache get in the way when i eat too. Call it a flavor saver lol could it be from the wind tht in the wood feels warmer? enjoy your fresh snow my friend

[@scotthosier]

I had a beard about like yours until recently when I got the urge to trim it down,my wife and daughter informed me that I will not be touching it again without consent.

[@OxfordPatriot]

Call me crazy, because I know the conservatives wouldn't allow this is my country (U.S.A.), but seeing how much more advanced Norway is liberally, there could probably be some compromise to ban aircraft from a swath of airspace over the inner more natural part of Norway for a certain amount of days or time each week. So you and others there could enjoy peace. Would be lovely to have that here in the U.S. over certain national parks, but like I said, in my country that would be considered far left environmentalism. And correct me if I'm wrong, but Norway is the forefront country in the world of a movement aiming to separate harmful human activities from the natural world, and I truly admire that (such as tree-cutting, electric cars, gasoline operated boats, etc.). Anyways, love your videos and keep up the good work!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks a lot for your input on this matter, my friend. I think, however, that there is a lot of propaganda coming from the government here in Norway (which is conservative, by the way) concerning the environmentalism. The deforestation has been very bad after their new law of replanting. I suspect that was a trick to get more woodland allowed for the timber industry. We also have a problem with the danger of a nuclear disaster because of the submarines patrolling our coast (those aren't Norwegian, mostly, but still), oil spills from the tankers now and then, causing large numbers of marine life and sea birds to die, and the kiling of our large predators. Now, all this could be even worse in the USA, I don't know, but it's not very great here in Norway. Also, I do think you're right and not crazy, if there was a left leaning government maybe there would have been less allowances for helicopters and such, but that's just a guess.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

And it's great if we can keep the politics out of this.

[@OxfordPatriot]

A lot of so called environmentalist jargon is used as a front to scare people into giving up their individual freedom. Real environmentalist talk is not about taking away people's freedom. Large corporate entities need to be held accountable.

I agree! The proof is in the pudding, as they say. Or in this case, in the fire.

[@FishyPOL]

I cannot yet grow a beard so I shall be left without any snacks for later. The trees act as shelter from the wind and weak insulation. I also think that the warmer colours of green and brown of the trees make a warmer ambience and take the edge off the cold!

I have had a beard for over 20 years but I often shave my mustache but not because I get food in it haha

what brand are those muckboots? i cant walk for too long in mine without tearing up my heels and edges of feet! my new favorite boots are the soloman forces 2. they have so far survived 2 deer hunting seasons and 2 elk hunting seasons without fail or even having to change out laces. another great vid, thanks Bjorn!

The boots are called Tretorn. Fantastic boots. Very comfortable.

Your videos are great, They are really calming and informative. By the way, I share your pain of having a beard, I can't count the amount of times i've accidentally tried eating it haha
