I set up at my primitive shelter with wood stove made out of waddle and daub, clay, and mud hut, sticks and bed made out of straw. I set traps for rodents, and other small animals and cook over the fire using primitive cooking techniques. I cook fish, squirrel and a surprise catch.
I make a bowdrill primitive friction fire using cedar hearth board, new cedar spindle and bow, with a found tinder bundle which I found from a squirrel nest.
I sleep using only minimal gear and no sleeping bag by wood stove heat in the primitive mud hut shelter, the bordei.
I will show you step-by-step how to make a bow drill fire using cedar that can be found in nearly any forest. From selecting the right kinds of woods, shaping the bow, spindle and bearing block to the tinder, kindling, soft and hard wood. I also show how to cut the notch and how deep to go and how to hold the bow and drill for maximum results.

Betterhelp is a scam..

[@EmilKystol]

Whatever you do to better yourself is a plus, granted friends only carry you so long, but a great help early on. Mental help is no joke and paramount in improving both mentally and physically... most people carry emotional trauma they don't even know about, good on you for taking on whatever you're dealing with professionally :) I have no personal releation with BetterHelp since I practice physiotherapy and learning Osteopathy in Europe, but any step that works for you (generally, not just you personally) is a great improvement in adressing issues and improving function in all aspects. Find what helps, and go with that. Keep taking care of yourself, be both critical and appreciative. Self improvement is a process, so start someplace and work from there. Great to see you being honest about it and adressing the field. Mad respect ;)

[@normazarr3106]

My Dear Wooded Beardsman; I Thank You, but my Mental Health is quit Strong, my Heart is Not! I appreciate your concern and continue enjoying your videos! God is always there for me! "No Worries"! TC,GBU.,SM.,NZ., ✌❤🙂💐👍😉🤗

It seems as though Kevin took the torch you lit and ran with it! Very happy to see his channel doing well he makes insanely cool content…. But don’t forget Chris you have ONE POINT FIFTY SIX MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. You absolutely crushed it man and a lot of us are still OG subscribers. So cool of you to do a video like this again. Hope you are happy and healthy brother thanks for the upload!

A "burdei" or "bordei" is actually a word I grew up with in Romania. It is a word native to Carpathian mountains region in Eastern Europe. According to wikipedia this kind of shelter was brought to Canada by ukrainians. It's quite nice to see it build in this video. Thanks a lot for all your videos ! I always enjoy watching them

[@rexyfowler5520]

i hope this guy finds help for his anger and hate theres absolutely nothing wrong with women camping and fishing in thongs.

awseome episode legend, thanks so much for sharing. And also thank you for bringing mens mental health up in this one, its super important! as someone who has battled over the years with depression it really srtikes a chord. the funniest thing is i sit here at home in South Australia watching you freeze, all the while its 10pm and still 34c. but to reiterate, i've been following your journey on here for years mate, and it's so awesome to see you up and into it. much love

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Sorry to hear about your struggles. I keep Jordan Peterson's quote in mind - that we need to find a reason to make all the suffering worthwhile. Indeed.

[@radagast6682]

It's been a long time. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. FULL STOP!

[@austinh.5869]

I’m a long time watcher and I always watch your videos full stop. Was in the middle of practicing the guitar and watching your video when I hear you mention the “camping girl videos” lol. I was cracking up at the way you broke down the entire situation and came back full circle to yourself. Fireside chat sounded like I was listening to a Jordan Peterson podcast lol. Great video bring back more of these fireside chats!

[@J.MUSIC2023]

Glad to see you not stopping on making this kind of content even though your viewers is not that much .

Great to see you back. Back to basics, remember why you started this in the first place, do what you love, over thinking is a waste of time. But all the best for the future and look forward to your future videos, what ever they may be on.

Missed the best woodsman on KZbin! Still watching kevins videos aswell. Love your guys work and thank you for keeping up the quality of everything you guys do.

[@MoneyMe3cH237]

Bro got super wierd once the thoughts kicked in 😂😂 like wtf?! 😂😂😂

[@artanaillazentujin3449]

Second best part of the video. woodbeard is so wholesome

[@christimarie402]

I couldn’t even imagine how hard it would be to be in the constant eye of social media so mega props for that 🙏 secondly do what makes you happy on your videos because if you get bored with it then it will transfer into your video so do whatever you feel like. Most importantly take the breaks when you need them family and your mental health should ALWAYS come first. Lastly get on other platforms such as rumble as they don’t censor. Your channel was one of the first I really started to follow so keep up the great work Joe! Sending love and light from Nebraska

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Great advice! Our mental health is what keeps us upright.

[@mikelemere8336]

Of course full stop. Great to see you. Can't wait to see if you do more trapping videos. Your family camping videos are the best. Really shows that you have to make it fun for them too, or they won't want to come back out.

[@eld208]

Just snared my first snowshoe hare a few days ago from tips from your channel 👌😁

That is awesome! Glad you got one! Now you know how to do it, it should get easier.

[@lobopropredatorcontrol]

Glad to hear you talked to someone, I have lost several loved ones who thought no one cared. I love your content and the fact you took up trapping, I'm not trying to be an A hole but the doubled spring trap is a 120 the 110 only has 1 spring. Them 330s scare me, them 330s are serious traps. Keep up the great work and content full stop

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

OMG, you are totally right! The 110 got stuck in my head for too long, and somehow stuck there. The 330's are insanely strong. I'm not sure how much people understand about how scary they are to set.

[@heartoftheseason3453]

I survived the entire video Chris!!! Lol. Nice advice and ima try that smoked trout method too.

When he said barely covering the eyeball I aboot pissed myself laughing!

miss these type of videos bro i know its down to health reasons so im not mad stay safe brother but good to see you back at it

[@iceman256]

Another awesome survival challenge. Luv the trap setup through Hallow stumps. Have you done an Alone challenge? Ever consider doing a challenge, if so I would bet my last dollar you would come out on top,hands down. You have the skills and knowledge that would leave you standing Alone at the top of the field. Thanks for the share Brother 👊

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I interviewed for it years ago, and made it to skype after phone, but didn't advance any more than that. In hindsight, it was a gift to keep developing my channel.

[@mindsfun-4579]

I've been a long time subscriber, I don't think I've missed a video in a couple years... I will be watching your future content regardless, but im more excited about the talks and "rants" you do. Its fun to talk about stuff

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Ya. I was thinking to include some off topic type stuff like I used to! Kinda like a woodsman podcast, but include it like a fireside chat.

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

That shelter is awesome. The trap inside the tree trunk is sick too. This is a rad outing. You should try a rudigger fire roll sometime. Ya got the good eats out there. Could definitely survive. Would need to forage for plant food. Would get scurvy😆🐸🍺🔪🔥

[@frankensteinracing3520]

Another technique for full fish if you have reasonably good clay. Put about a half inch or so layer around the fish and throw it in the coals. When it works properly it peels the scales off when opened and all the guts just shrivel to a small ball. I’m sure you could gut the fish and add seasoning to the cavity.

[@nomadicoasis9260]

Hey nice plug for my Fishy Thing :) I agree most people just don't go out in the bush and cook food these days, when you consider a billion people cook their food on a fire every day... that logic is broken somehow. when I was running my smoke house I used the same fish cutting method except I flipped the meat too the outside and used a one inch stick to separate the two skin sides from sticking together. this insures it cooks or smokes evenly. on a camp fire with prolonged smoking you run the risk of a nasty creosote flavor. so there is a few variables involved. I think my mouth was watering. Fell down the "camping girl" rabbit hole as well... but low skill is not compensated for by stretchy pants. Take care Chris

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Ahhh, great tip about using the stick in between, thanks! The fishy thing is a great concept and idea, it really does work well. I don't know the solution - I guess finding that right market is always the challenge. I know it's made my fire cooking a lot simpler.
