Why own a Woodland?

[@tombell965]

Ive just purchased 3.5 acres of woodland in northumberland with the option to buy 7.5 which makes the whole wood its been neglected for years so ive started cleaning it up it has a ditch running through the middle that has water in it a lot of the year so ive dug a pond which is a nice addition and i love just sitting down there nearly every day with my dogs ..i wasn't sure id made a wise purchase but a year on from buying it i know it was the best 1 ive ever made looking forward to camping in there this spring time..Great video cheers

[@BushwackerMan]

Awesome mate 👍👍

[@johnsoutdoors126]

^60 years old and just bought 10 acres of woods ,completely off grid , I plan to retire on it ,in a few years ,got a cabin to mill and build all reassures off the property

[@BushwackerMan]

Sounds great 👍👍

[@denisestarr2314]

I'm 60. Been offgrid for 6 years on my woodland . Enjoy . I love it .

[@simonray398]

Hi guys, I’m just getting into the idea of living off grid etc Can I ask how you gained the right to live on your woodlands? Many thanks Simon

[@carlrichards9333]

You won't be retiring , instead you'll be living the life that's full of wholesomeness...it's funny this idea, its like something that's offered to us as a sort of a prize for 40 - 50 years hard graft for many...don't buy into this Nonsense and if you have the cash by the land now and start living like this fella is saying saying

[@SwiftRead]

@@simonray398 If free of any structures ~ just wooded land ~ then wooded lots (what some in real estate call "undevelopable") are very affordable. Just consider this ~ until the 1980s, Alaska used to give up to 5 acres of land away for free to anyone willing to build & stay for at least 5 years.

I am 65 and have over 100 acres of woodland. There is a little spot where 2 creeks converge that I have wanted to do something like this. Health issues have me doing a lot of nothing. Watching your videos have made me want to get at it. From that spot you would have to go several miles east , north or west to find a house or road , nothing but woodland and forest. I have been gathering gear and tools I will need. Love watching your videos, binge watching them today.

[@BushwackerMan]

Sounds like a great spot, good luck 👍👍

[@Gorguruga]

I'm aiming to buy woodland one day to do build my own off grid setup. If you ever want to sell 20 acres to a fellow off-grid minded nearly 50 year old guy, give me a shout if you're in the UK. I got some health issues too but hoping a return to nature will help cure things. Wishing you a speedy recovery too mate.

[@AB-kg6rk]

Excellent descriptive, inciteful, dialog, well narrated too!

[@BushwackerMan]

Glad you liked it! 👍

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I started watching your channel and since then have continuously supported Becky's work. Today I wanted to touch base with your life in bushcraft. Along with you, I have been remembering your steps along the way.

[@BushwackerMan]

Wow, thank you 👍👍

[@SwiftRead]

Been watching your vids from lockdown over the past week ~ great content! I live on a wooded 7 acre lot & you've given me a load of ideas. One idea I'd like to pass on ~ re: your pizza oven ~ forget fire bricks, they're way too expensive. Use lava rocks & place a pizza stone on top ~ same function, a fraction of the cost.

[@BushwackerMan]

[@denisestarr2314]

I walk the woodland path . I bought woodlands 6 years ago . Built a modern cabin 6 years offgrid . No looking back . I have a small clearing around my cabin for garden . I am blessed . I started out with a used Rv camper Lived in it while I built my cabin . Sold it once i had my bedroom done . Then finidhed cabin . Solar, well,septic,wood heat. A labor of love . Only ow yearly taxes , about $200. Most people want live like this . But I'm truly free . Peace y'all

[@BushwackerMan]

Sounds awesome 👍👍

[@graemesaunderson4218]

That is a wonderful woodland paradise you have built.If you pardon the pun ,i`m green with envy.I have watched many of your vids and always enjoyed them, so not only you and your family enjoyed the camp but many of us enjoyed it with you thanks to your uploads.Thank you.ATB

[@BushwackerMan]

Thanks mate 👍👍

[@stevetaylor8446]

Love this one and you could have shown even more...would never get bored watching it. 4 years already, doesn't seem that long since the other place that got destroyed....time I moving so fast. The kids have done brilliantly, each doing their own thing, having learned so much from what they've learned from being outdoors...beautiful way to be brought up...out in nature, as we were all intended. Looks like you still have a bit to do again, keeps you going. How lovely is it to see deer and other animals in your camp and Buster being so happy, in a safe environment. Missed your videos, good to see you back again and hope you'll add more soon. Best wishes as always buddy

[@BushwackerMan]

Cheers mate, lovely message 👍👍

[@BushwackerMan]

Good luck cheers 👍👍

[@aaronjames0587]

I've just been given permission in a local woods on a private estate. they said I can pretty much do as I please. finally got myself a home away from home! thanks for the tour of camp some good ideas gonna be a good summer can't wait to get started.

[@BushwackerMan]

No problem 👍👍

[@stephenharris7982]

Your dog is gorgeous mate . I have just bought some forest land up in hexhamshire iam a sculpture i now have a endless supply of material to work with ❤

[@BushwackerMan]

You are sorted 👍👍

[@alanwainwright473]

Nice Video Dean, living the dream in your woodland. Well done mate, keep the vlogs coming.

[@BushwackerMan]

Thanks mate 👍👍

[@catherineallison3475]

I would love a much longer video to watch maybe others would too

[@kevinatherton9418]

Good to see you again mr b, Lou look well and you have inspired me in many ways to carry on wild camping, to buy a woodland, I don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance to ever buy my own woodland though

[@Lightandlovetoyou]

You will :) believe in yourself fully and speak it into existence:) Eg I am so grateful I love the life of my dreams I love my beautiful woodland and I need never worry about money again I am divinely guided and protected always Bruv you have it all Just imagine it N keep imagining no matter what :) God loves ya

[@Dug_Out]

Living the dream mate👍 Certainly looks peaceful there. Who knows, maybe one day, eh? Cheers for sharing

[@themightysumo8056]

Love it mate so glad ive stumbled across your vids the info you have is brilliant pal....u seem a humble chap tell it how it is which is ace.. the great outdoors is 1 of the best places mate

[@BushwackerMan]

Thanks mate 👍👍

[@seriousros7280]

Hello - Just found your channel. I've been looking into investing in a cotton canvas tent and woodstove for long term camping. I've discovered that in UK we only have access to Bell tent shaped rather than the A frame (house) shaped tents I feel it's a big advantage to be able to stand up in your shelter. This is only possible in the centre of a bell shaped tent. I'm also looking at investing in some tarps. Love the natural materials shelter. Sort of thing we'd build as children. What are your thoughts on waterproofed cotton v plastic tarps? All the Best. I'll be watching more of your videos.

[@essentialhandyman]

New viewer. From London, so not too many private woodlands around. Loving the laid back lifestyle you've made for yourself. Whereabouts in the UK are you from? I'm assuming down south somewhere.

[@alanmcvicar8608]

Love that camp set up, been looking to buy a plot for some time now but is not that easy to find suitable location & has enough flat for a good camp setup. Also now i will be reaching retirement so can dedicate time to the forest, impossible to spend quality time in the forest when you run a company & need to pay the bills !.

[@BushwackerMan]

Best of luck! 👍👍

[@christianjimbomb8204]

You ought to see the wild camping where I live. Portland Oregon. It is depressing mate.

[@BushwackerMan]

Thats a shame 👍👍

[@penultimateh766]

Very affordable to own some woodland acres in the USA, if any of you Brits want to emigrate here, you can find a job super easy....

[@Mugwumps107]

I thought it super difficult for British/Europeans to do that now?

[@BushwackerMan]

[@purleybelter7344]

[@hiddenvalleyfootpaths2561]

I have often wondered if wild campers / bushcrafters own woodlands or have permissions what they think about finding another individual using it in the same maner with out your knowledge.

[@BushwackerMan]

It would be fine if they respect the land 👍👍

[@outinthebush-aum]

hi bushwacker...good on ya.....nice chanel!....greetz from the black foerst,germany!

[@BushwackerMan]

Thanks mate 👍👍

[@bonilsson3161]

Do you rent the land from your friend or is it completely free? Thats a really generous allowance. Do you have some kind of hunting licence? Can you hunt small game? Are you still planning to buy land or are you fine with continuing to have the access of your friends land? What happened to your Tentipi? Did you ever watch the swedish guy "Nagualero" ? He sadly passed away about a year ago.

[@BushwackerMan]

I use the land for free and do a few jobs. The land has hunting rights. Eventually i would love to own my own few acres. I had the tipi on loan from a company for 2 months. Nagualero is a legend 👍👍

[@bonilsson3161]

@@BushwackerMan Agree completely on Nagualero, his videos was...soo much. They were relaxing, informative, inspiering and more. Great way to "pay" your friend landowner to do some work there, sounds good. Is it legal to hunt with bow and arrow in the UK? Its not in sweden.

[@clarkharris5499]

another great video, great set up you have put together, but you sound very somber, i hope all is well

[@BushwackerMan]

All is dandy 👍👍

Prices are still high, interest rates are even higher and inventory is still very low mate. If the real estate market was a truck, all warning lights would be lit up lol. Don't drink the kool-aid yet brother. Maybe end of the year is best time.

what is the issue with 15 minute cities I don't get the hate for them I think in places like America it would help a lot of people they have miles of just houses people treat 15 min cities as a prison thing like you can't just leave whenever you want it just means everything you need is close by

[@BushwackerMan]

You have been bought by the concept 👍👍
