Winter Camping - A night at the Shelter - An Old Friend Drops By.

Simon and I spend a relaxing evening winter camping at the bushcraft shelter. We cook our supper on the open fire and enjoy a cold but fun night camping in the woods. Thank you for coming along.

I love your channel. I watch a lot of the Bushcraft KZbin videos and not to many have husband's and wife's building together and camping together. I live to camp and fish but was diagnosed with cancer so now in stuck at home. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life.

its great hooking up with old friends,

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Always great to hang out with Simon.

[@howardsilver8396]

Long time camper, many have rigid techniques for fire making, but the rule of thumb is if it burns all is good. Try prepping the fire wood better, with most of you tinder on the bottom, dried center of log kindling pieces, than the other wood. Hard wood is better than soft pine for coals, but obviously you use what you can get.

[@johnnyibarra4151]

Great video bro. Hope you n your wife get out there soon to enjoy y'alls hard work.

[@marianfrances4959]

Good fun! Thank gawd for fire!! 🔥🇨🇦

[@papigomez3891]

Hi. Wonderful to see the two friends, Simon and Mike, getting together. The shelter worked well for a good beginning of winter's night. Good hamburgers and a delicious piece of ham. This will make any meal very yummy. Good choice of the addition of the battery operated chain saw. Do not work hard, work smart and safe. Technology is at our fingertips to help make life easier. Use it. Keep the excelent trips to the out doors in the woods coming. From Nevada, love, friendship, and adventures, Pappi, The Old Crow.

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thank you very much Pappi!

I hate to be a dick but it seems your wife is a little buchy..I see you walking on egg shells a Marriage is a two way street you all most seem intimidated..but a good stream..

[@bulletheed1970]

Looks like you had a good night out , cheers gents ..

[@hameed3066]

ممتاز عمل رائع استمتعوا بحياتكم تحياتي لكم

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thank you very much!

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Simon and I are very similar in our approach to/ways of doing things when camping. We both build fires and cook food the same way lol I think I’d really enjoy hanging out with him. He seems like a great guy.

[@irenel.m.3238]

That's life, enjoy what you like to do, and have fun, 🏕

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thanks Irene! I agree.

[@karenhallrodriguez9205]

I missed Sandra! But as always I enjoyed watching you and your friend! Waiting for more!

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thank you Karen!

[@karenhallrodriguez9205]

@@IamOutdoorsy you're very welcome!

[@jamesraddatz2613]

I love the battery powered chainsaw! So I bought one! Awesome video, Nice

[@MicrobyteAlan]

Good times, cherish them.

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thanks Alan!

[@LasseLarsson_euro]

Another nice video, thinking about trying my tent around new year maybe, you’re making inspiring videos I must say! Greetings from Sweden to you two!

[@_dave4460]

you need a bushcraft sawhorse and a nice splitting stump - a big slab would work... very nice shelter and setup

[@ireneburke1732]

I'm from Knoxville, Tennessee. Last year on one occasion we had a dusting of snow. So far this year we have had two snowy days. The first was about 2" and the second,(yesterday) we had 3-4". It's 1 p.m. and it has already almost melted. This is unusual for east Tennessee so we may just have a true winter this year. (It's been a while) Unfortunately, most of the residents here are unable to drive in the snow. Being from Ohio, I can usually do okay, except the snow here is very wet. (Very slick, but makes great snowmen) Anyway, there are usually wrecks everywhere and cars in ditches. Everyone feels the need to drive to the store for milk and bread that was not needed or gotten the day before. My 83 year old neighbor, who drives maybe twice a year, will warm her car up and proceed to the grocery store at about 10mph. She never has an accident, but I have personally witnessed 2 that she has caused. The snow is beautiful and I yearn for it, but I hate the after effects. It also is usually melted within a day or two. So today, watching your video, I can actually look outside and see the remainder of yesterdays snow while enjoying your winter wonderland. Awesome video today, but definitely missed Sandra. The food looked good. Two more of those burgers would have been better though. (Sorry, I can't help myself) take care.

[@felisha9406]

Yet another great video, missed your face Sandra. ❤️

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thanks Felisha!

[@dudebig5404]

Mike... just a HINT... Turn your BLADE over when scraping the ice off something... Great results with ZERO damage to edge... Peace..

[@joharmon2148]

Cold looking camping trip LOL but it was fun watching you and Simon. But I missed Sandra. Mike you couldn't sleep because you knew Sandra didn't get to use it first.

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thanks Jo, it was a bit chilly but we managed to stay pretty warm. It was nice having a nice fire for most of the trip.

[@CherieBlairWitch]

Great video! Simon seems like a really nice guy... But we miss Sandra!!!🌲☁️🔥😊

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thanks Cherie!

[@ColHatley]

Nice outing and not so much work this time, for you! Glad you finally had time for some R&R with you friend. ATVBto You and Yours. Von

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thanks Von, it was a fun time!

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

Very nice non working video if you don’t count cutting the firewood! Thanks much for sharing.

[@KaylynnStrain]

Looked like a good time

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thanks Kaylynn, it was!

[@realmetis8002]

awesome..... hello from sudbury Ontario im a new subber lol

[@annettemillette4091]

cool relaxing less work. time to cool down with a friend

[@ibunyaniyachacha]

👏🥳🎊🎉

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thank you INC!

[@ibunyaniyachacha]

u r most welcome 🥳🎊🎉

[@adamheazlett1179]

When splitting tough logs work around the edges never seen any bushcrafters usu this method Ive used since I was 8 .Cheers Adam

[@debyfalkner8628]

I agree with you not sleeping well because Sandra wasn’t there.

[@brianspencer4220]

Good times. Thanks Brian 79

[@christinefisher3891]

I enjoyed watching, you just need to have a relaxing night so why no use the saw. Not that you do it all the time. Enjoy watching your blogs. 😃

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thank you very much Christine!

[@tWoforgamenot1]

yep fun indeed

[@IamOutdoorsy]

It was! Thank you Roger.

[@peggyarsenault2705]

Power saw? Why not? At least you owned it. And explained why. I enjoy your videos SO much! I actually would have enjoyed power saw footage. I have one and LOVE using it I missed Sandra. And please tell me those were beers you were drinking! And not sodas

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thank you very much Peggy, lol they were not sodas. 🍻

[@rodramon6968]

You need a maul axe for splitting logs like that much easier.

[@birtangooner4730]

👋 ⛺️👍

[@IamOutdoorsy]

👍👍

[@diannaharrison5931]

When you get the ax stuck in the wood turn it over so the weight of the wood will come down on the ax and split it.

[@Joker52186]

I just got that same percolator from Walmart couple days ago

[@ireneburke1732]

Perhaps the wind is the reason you were unable to sleep. Subconsciously worried about trees falling. I know I would have been. Granola bars are not a breakfast. But since you're leaving, I hope you stopped and got something more substantial. P.S. for your next overnighter, I'm requesting steaks. And perhaps a baked potato. Also, eggs, bacon or sausage (or both) and hash browns for breakfast. Also I would enjoy two nights and three days please. Sorry if I'm getting too pushy. :-)

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Hi there Irene. The next video (just a day trip) is already filmed. That said, I think the one after that will be an overnighter. I'm guessing the planned meals might get you seal of approval 😉.

[@earlwheeler5173]

therre isa product called the MONSTER MAUL solid steell including handle Ihve used one for overtwenty years splits on the first stroke every time

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Just the right name for a 'real camping' channel! Electric chainsaw is 'spot-on' equipment. You KNOW how to do the fundamentals...so when speed and quantity is important in wood processing, why not move along in technology. I find that I do not sleep so well without my wife nearby. The mind seems to note when things are different...or not right.

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thanks James, the saw worked out great for us given how late we got there.

[@michaelzimmerman8959]

Got to do what you got to do

[@michelelewis2826]

Hope Sandra had a good visit with her mother. No work weekend, finally 😄..and a gentleman to wait for Sandra, good on you. Just curious, do you ever see any deer around your shelter? Stay safe and well!! See ya next time

[@windowclean100]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@IamOutdoorsy]

👍👍👍👍

[@MariaMaria-lp6bb]

👍⛺️🥶❄️☕️

[@edwillett1358]

Oh,Mike,Mike,Mike, not the chainsaw! And two batteries, you must given it some thought even before you left the house. Iwonder what Sandra would think if she were to find out. Rest assured she will never fine out from me.73 Ed

[@fynnoboldo9568]

Hi this is a good video. I'm from Germany 🇩🇪. I like you. All like and sub. Okay 👌🏾 👍🏼🇩🇪😉🇬🇧

[@boblordylordyhowie]

So, when are you going to build the other two cabins to form a triangle with walls between them and a doorway. Then you could roof it over with a central chimney...lol You could rent it for bushcraft holidaymakers

[@rustyjohnson4100]

But, dang. Ya'll doing it the hard way

[@rustyjohnson4100]

You learn by doing

[@bgurtek]

I've got an idea for heating your shelter. Sometime this week I'll sketch it up & get it off to you.

[@sircharlesbergamyiii3623]

We all know you didn't sleep very well because Sandra wasn't there.....it's okay-CB3

[@IamOutdoorsy]

😄 Thanks CB3

[@Joker52186]

I thought you guys called that bacon
