Winter Bushcraft in the Wilderness - Camping in Snow

#bushcraft #camping #survival
4 days in the wild. Extremely minimal gear this time. Out with my second most favorite bag, a bit small but swallows more than you think. It actually surprises me every time. But just the bare essentials. Basically a ground pad, a sleeping bag and way too little food. No extras. What makes me do it this way is the freedom a light bag gives. It opens your eyes for the surroundings. Makes me record more with the camera than if you bite down hard, stare at the ground and struggle on with a heavy load on your back. We are not talking lightweight hiking of course since I haul a hatchet and a big steak lol. But no extra clothes etc. A bit risky but the fire makes it possible.
Foot still hurts but I noticed it doesn't get any better with rest. The opposite actually. And Im glad I didn't go with 25kg this time and as I write this... like a week after this trip my foot gets better little by little everyday. But omg this type of injury takes time to heal.
Tried the star fire lay. Or indian fire not sure what is the right word for it. The pictures I've seen is either 5 logs or 3. So I played with the idea to call my version the Cross Fire Lay. Pretty practical if one would cook for a day or two ;). But did not give out much heat for your body. So at bedtime I built a pile of wood in the center that gave me that nice heat up for getting in the sleeping bag.
Cold first night but warmer weather second day. Second night it started to rain and luckily I slept in a stationary shelter. Did not record anything there. Fourth day colder weather again and reached the pickup point at the other side of that lake late in the evening.
I love snow and ice. Always the most fun but also challenging to record with the camera. Still not quite used to my new camera. The old one I could work with in my sleep but still not nailing the right exposure for the scenes with the new one perfectly like Im used to. The GH6 lets me shoot darker but other than that its almost like I feel the GH5 was better. Go figure. It records the audio better though and that saves a lot of time post edit.
Thank you for watching!
And Merry X-mas!

Вы молодец, снимая для нас такие замечательные атмосферные видео! Многие никогда не разжигали костер самостоятельно и просто сидят в своих видеоиграх по выживанию. Ваш вариант костра и способ приготовления мяса очень интересны. Желаю вам и вашим близким здоровья. Привет из России!

It's a bit of a joke Christmas has been re-branded the "holiday season" by the Americans, just for money making purposes. It wouldn't happen in any other religion

Hello my icy friend Happy to see you. Sorry that you still have pain in your foot. When I see the weather what you have I can't believe it. Here in south Saskatchewan Canada we have not one snowflake and + 6°C . Normally we should have - 30°C and 3 feet of snow. It is a very good idea with the cross fire . Your food was good to. I could taste the potatoes here at home . Good job my friend. I like to see you soon again. Make sure you take care of your foot so that you are fit for the next time going out. Take good care of you and your family. Bye bye Good job. 👍

Thank you so much for this video! It was a wonderful respite from the pre-holiday runaround on an early Saturday morning in the Northeast USA. I really do appreciate the solitary quietude and the simple yet focused and meditative stillness of these videos. They helps to gently recenter me after an otherwise long and somewhat hectic week I'm very glad to see that you are healing up and are mobile once again. Please know that your content is well appreciated. Best wishes and do stay healthy and safe!

Another captivating video, love all your content, walking on the frozen lake, must be slippery. Love all your fireplaces and your simple cooking looks delicious, can almost smell the aroma in the forest. There was one view looking up to the sky through the trees with the snow falling, so mesmerizing. We don't get to see frozen lakes where I live, we get snow, but nothing to this extent and only occasionally. Always love your videos, thanks for sharing.
