Winter Forest Camping & Fire Making

[@Don19762]

I once had a fantastic encounter in Norway, near Finse, which is also something I think about often. I was hiking there and in the middle of the night I had to break up my tent and look for a more sheltered spot due to heavy winds. When I was walking under the full moon there was among the rough and rocky landscape an arctic fox and it came close to me and was not afraid of me at all. So close that I could almost touch it! It was amazing in that atmosphere...as if it was a movie setting. Maybe it doesn't sound that special, but I later found out this was actually very special, because there's only 128 arctic foxes left in whole of Scandinavia. I'll never forget this. :)

[@HakaTech]

cool story :D

[@Don19762]

Twabourne & Louis LLP Thanks!

[@NorwegianWoods]

That is an amazing story. That is one of those rare moments that makes the outdoors so special. I heard that there are some programs to help the arctic fox population grow. I have never seen any of them. Thanks for sharing :) - Martin

[@introvert_outdoors]

Martin, you are Bob Ross of bushcraft. Your videos are both therapeutic and educational.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks! Glad you like what I do :) - Martin

[@NorwegianWoods]

I had the pleasure of spending another night in my favourite place, the woods. I hope you enjoy coming along on this one :) - Martin

[@kcharlieeire]

what camera and lens you use?

[@NorwegianWoods]

Here I use a first generation Sony A7 with an old Nikon 50mm 1.2 AIS lens. - Martin

[@colinhart8495]

Hi Martin wounderfull videos and a perfect delivery of information highly informative channel , I use a similar set up over here in Scotland but I use a y branch attached to the para cord then hook the poncho on it using the pocket makes it a little easier to get it all nice and tight All the best Colin

[@hookares8551]

The audio sucks, and you mumbling didn't help. Can't HEAR!

[@triumphgibbo7872]

HooKares? Think you might be at this video for the wrong reason.

[@TexasBorn1835]

Im from Texas,USA love your Videos my friend. I am a avid outdoors man and I love seeing people from around the world enjoy the same greay sunsets, moonlight, and sunrise as I. There is one thing that all of us bushmen and bushwomen all have in comin in the woods we are humbled by its beauty and power.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Hello John. We all live on the same little rock . There is a lot of simple but powerful things to enjoy in nature for sure :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@kristimarkwell9187]

Greetings from the heartland of America. I enjoy watching you do what you enjoy the most and you have inspired me to get out in the woods for about a year now. You are a beautiful person. God bless you, friend.

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

Another fantastic episode, sir. Your videos are always entertaining and very soothing. Far more enjoyable than the stupid Super Bowl.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you my friend. I enjoy watching a campfire more than watching anything on TV :) - Martin

[@zakharovaolga7385]

Thank you ! Fantastic!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I enjoyed this one so much last year that I watched it again. Gently falling snow; a cheerful but modest wood fire and some hearty food all contribute to a fine night in the woods. Thank you for sharing.

[@theurbanexplorer-schronicl795]

I had the pleasure of visiting your beautiful country a few years ago. The hospitality I was shown was second to none. I would say that exploring Galdhøpiggen was at the top of my list. Awesome video and keep up the great work.

[@wdtintin]

Glad you have time to make videos again, I really like your style of filming. It's relaxing, like I'm in the woods as well, I just sit there staring into the campfire listening to the crackle and pop, thanks!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you for the kind words. More videos are coming soon :) See you on the next one - Martin

[@RM-io7qo]

It just goes to show that not all fires burn the way we want them to, but I'm so pleased to see that yours decided to burn really well. Your shelter was a good one and obviously suited your needs since you slept so comfortably. I did like the camp fire story... Thanks for sharing. Take care...

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for stopping by. Both the shelter and the fire worked out pretty good in the end :) - Martin

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

So ive been really into these silent bushcraft videos. Becuase i hate it when people talk too much. But the case is different for you everything you say is enjoyable to listen too and very deliberate. Thank you.

[@WhatsUpWithSheila]

I AM SOOOOO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK!!!!!... You were one of the first people I ever watched and then fell in love with Bush Craft!... I will first finish cleaning my house and THEN get comfortable with a glass of wine to take this latest adventure with you😊

[@jeanwatson189]

Thanks very much for sharing! I've recently discovered your channel and am loving watching when I need something to relax with. I really like the quiet format, hearing your boots crunch in the snow, the fire crackling, etc. The exact opposite to hysterical t.v. shows!

[@WhatsUpWithSheila]

Watching & listening to you is so soothing...

[@mindmatrix6370]

Hello there, and cheers from New Mexico my friend. Great stories from the woods and camping. Time to share one of my own. I was bow hunting the high country of the Gila wilderness in southern New Mexico bout 2 years back. The Gila is the 2nd largest mountain range stateside. I had hunted and explored its vast territory for the past 7 years while pursuing wild turkey, wild boar, javelina, mule deer, grouse, elk and trout along the way. It was early fall, in the 1st weeks of September. As I walked a Ridgeline in high hopes of spotting an elk to make a stalk attempt, the sun was slowly starting to makes its way down below the highest western peak of the mountains. I had decided to call it quits for the day as I only had an hour or less of sunlight to spare, so I turned around and started walking back towards camp this time keeping a steady walking pace with no concern of spooking any animals. As I made my way back, on that clear, quite, evening I noticed a bright white light off in the distance, I originally thought it to be a bright star as only 2 or 3 stars were visible to me at that time in the evening. The hour past.. and with the last sunlight withering away I picked a headlamp out from my daypack to continue my path back. It had been no more than 15 minutes since I had seen the last rays of sunshine. I referred back to the star shining bright in the night sky, and stood in admiration as more stars began to saturate the darkness Then suddenly as I was stood close to directly beneath the light.. it slowly began to move eastward... now appearing to be hovering like a helicopter. I stood in disbelief as I recalled the hour prior when I 1st saw the bright light still in the sky. What i still scratch my head about to this day is that when the object began to go eastward not a single sound was made... and as you know when you are in a place as desolate as the wilderness on a calm evening... everything can be heard. -Brando

[@NorwegianWoods]

Yes my friend. That is one of those moment that boggles your mind for years. Thanks a lot for sharing your story :) - Martin

[@mindmatrix6370]

Thank you for sharing yours sir. Till next time, Cheers my friend! -Brando

[@johnnyroth7119]

Great video, as always. One night, while laying atop Enchanted Rock in Texas, my ex wife and I watched a ball of light move around in geometric patterns for nearly an hour until it darted away. (PS we were not drinking) Love your videos!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks. Thats a cool story :) - Martin

[@Stinks71126]

I had a similar experience once with my brother. We were riding our bikes through some trails in a thick woods during a cold cloudy night. As we were following a river..we saw a glowing ball of soft blue light about two feet under the water. We turned off our headlights..and tried to understand what it could be. The entire forest was dark except for the ball of light under the water. We threw some stones into the water but the light remained. We were obviously very confused by the incident. Pretty spooky but we still love the woods. Thanks for making me think of that time..i had forgotten about it. All the best from Canada🍁

[@estherloske2220]

I ENJOYED this video SO MUCH !!!! Looking forward to watching the others ! Thank You for letting us share the outdoor experience! 👍

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you for joining in :) See you on the next one - Martin

[@tommonaghan111]

I enjoyed this so much, I felt like I was there. I was worried you might not get your fire started but you seemed so calm and patient about it.

[@chinoodin4735]

I tend to carry a few strips of birch bark, because I know how well it works and know everywhere I go may not have dead birch trees to pull the bark from. Like your presentation and explanations of the moment. Comfortable to watch and listen to. Thanks for inviting us in.

[@Smedley60]

I just found your channel and really enjoyed this video. I found it genuine and very real. I have run into the same issues with starting fires that you did in this one, especially with wet wood. You have a calm, persistent approach to bushcraft that I find refreshing. Thanks for posting these. I'm looking forward to more.

[@NorwegianWoods]

I am happy to hear that you like the video. It is as real as I am able to make it. Just me, a camera with some gear in a forest. I like to go out and spend time in the woods. Nothing more and nothing less :) Thanks a lot for watching and commenting - Martin

[@Chiefs500]

I enjoyed sharing your camp with you. Thank you.

[@NorwegianWoods]

I am happy that you join in :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@Robert31352]

This is when a small candle comes into play. Even a small tea candle would give you up to three hours of drying time for your kindling. If you have wild hogs now, you will forever. We have millions of them in Texas and we can hunt them 24/7 all year and it does not even put a dent in the population. Good video. I subbed.

[@NorwegianWoods]

That is a great tip. I like the challenge of making fires with the stuff I find in the woods. The wild bore population is growing every year around here. Maybe I will make a bore hunting video at some point :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@wild_outdoors_uk2016]

Good to see you again on here Martin. So new new adventures a head with the new job !!!!!! All the best Jay

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for stopping by my friend :) More adventures are on the way - Martin

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Martin another enjoyable video and I don't if it's been mentioned but thank you for for speaking English your explanations are fantastic.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks a lot for the kind words :) - Martin

[@johnmclean5957]

Another great video. I really liked the way you explained what you were doing and thinking as you tried to get your fire going. You should have a TV show.

[@davidh3480]

Hey Martin. Another great video. I was cheering you on when you were trying to get the fire started. :) Glad to see you back out there.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you for stopping by. It was a nice feeling when the fire started to catch :) - Martin

[@andrewh6034]

excellent video and beautiful scenery thanks for sharing it.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Glad you liked it :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@bobthebob8817]

That was the first vid of yours that I have seen and I enjoyed it a lot, also found the story you shared with us to be interesting. Thanks.

[@IsleofWightBushcraft]

Nice video Martin. I really enjoyed sharing the experience with you. I've never had any unusual experiences in the woods. When these things happen there's normally a rational explanation I find. Every time I see a Norwegian bushcraft vid though, I really want to visit again to do a long hiking and wildcamp trip. Norway is so natural, clean, and beautiful, and lovely people too. Thank you for sharing Martin. Take care.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you for stopping by. I agree that there are rational explanations for most of the strange things in this world. It was an interesting thing to experience when it happened tough :) Take care my friend - Martin

[@redcanoe14]

I have the Terava Skrama and it is a very good tool, the steel is very good and it holds a good edge. Yes, I have seen lights when fell walking in England many years ago. I was with a party of four hikers and we all saw it and did not comment for a long time after seeing the three lights following us. The lights were not hikers with flashlights, they were hovering above the ground and we could see the horizon beneath them, there was no Moon. I like this video you have made because it shows firelighting is not always easy and you must persevere.

[@NorwegianWoods]

The Skrama seems to be a good tool. Making a fire when everything is wet can be a nice little challenge :) Thanks for sharing your story. - Martin

[@johanstran2433]

Have just seen all your videos and really appreciate the content. Slow, comfy, informative and of good quality! Would be a great experience to camp and learn from you! Keep making videos!:)

[@TheDaveDryden]

really good to see you out doing vids Martin and testing out some new stuff. take care Dave

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for stopping by Dave. It is always nice to spend time in the woods testing new stuff (and old stuff :) - Martin

[@CentralOregonSurvival]

Awesome, looks like a great adventure!!! That is a beast of a knife!!!

[@NorwegianWoods]

It was a nice little adventure. That knife is the largest one I have used. It is a pretty capable tool :) Thanks a lot for watching - Martin

[@highlandtrekker]

Great overnighter my friend, thanks so much sharing 👍

[@NorwegianWoods]

It was a nice little trip. Thanks for watching :) - Martin

Beautiful area you are in Martin. Thank you for sharing and showing some of your gear and techniques.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Glad you liked it :) Thanks a lot for watching - Martin

[@Shanecoffeyoutdoors]

What a wonderful encounter. It really gets the mind wondering. Now that you are using stoves.. you probably realize they have far less smoke and are really efficient as well. Take care man

[@NorwegianWoods]

It is a memory for life. I still enjoy regular camp fires in the winter months :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks Nick :) - Martin

[@Casey1pj]

Norwegian, I Loved the video. I have to say that the picture you showed at the end of the video was beautiful. That view was something that belongs on a Christmas card. Your new blade was close to being a heavy duty Machete. That's probably why it didn't work so great using it with the baton. The blade is thick so it needs extra weight to force the grain burst. On the other hand, It was excellent with it's tree chopping performance. Just wanted to thank you for all that you do in making these videos. I have enjoyed every one that I have seen.

[@fredthorne9692]

Excellent! Your photography and editing are absolutely perfect. There was even some suspence in waiting for the fire to start. That is a very nice bush knife, a real "chopper." As far as strange occurrances, I also had one about 10 years ago in a scrub-pine (miniature pine trees in my region due to frequent fires) forrest. It was dusk in the late spring. I was lying on my back looking at the sky, waiting for stars to appear, when suddenly from the North (my feet were due South) three small lights came into my field of view from above my head. They were positioned in a perfect equilateral triangle. As they moved exactly due South they abruptly stopped right over head. It seemed that they were high in the upper atmosphere. They stood directly overhead for about 15 - 20 seconds and then rapidly parted, each light head away from the other. One went back due North, one went Southwest, and the third went Southeast, all in perfect unison. After being shocked, I thought to myself, they must have been satellites or something being retasked by the NSA. (lol). I told a few friends, but not much came it. Then about three years ago, I was watching something about the NASA Space Shuttle. Several of the astronauts had recorded strange occurrences in orbit which were unexplainable. One phenomenon they filmed and described was the three lights, which did exactly the same thing I had witnessed ten years ago. If I had not seen the NASA footage, I would have never thought much of it. I've had one other sky occurrence that happened to me in Mexico. But, that's another time. Thanks Martin.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you for sharing that story. It sounds like an interesting thing to have seen. I guess there are many things going on in this world that we don not fully understand. Most things have a natural explanation though. The Terävä Skrama is a real tool for sure. It is the only "real" chopper I have used so far but it was a lot of fun to try it in the woods. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting - Martin

[@fredthorne9692]

My pleasure. It's always good to watch your adventures. Great content and background.

[@AchillesFeel]

Fred Thorne it was the dragon balls

[@nickhulley4350]

Hi there, another wonderful episode :) possibly some twenty years ago! but a long time back I'd done an overnighter in woodlands around the mountains of the Snowdonia area of Wales (U.K.), a gale had picked up overnight and with very very strong winds we made our way out & down from the forest to more open country, trekking over meadows, we were suddenly confronted by a water spout travelling across the open ground towards us from the distance, a huge spout (my guess at least x5 houses high) - panic definitely struck us both as well as the sheer wonder of the experience, it diverted before getting right up to us, seemingly running out of speed and the water was dropped en mass about 20 yards from us!!! bizarre but on the other side (beyond us at that time) was a large river and the winds bouncing off the mountains must have created a vortex which 'picked up' the river water and spun it around towards us, lifting it clean out of the river - presenting to us the vision of a water spout, seemingly out-of-control hurtling itself towards us across land!!!!! definitely one for the memory bank! the awe & wonder of nature :)

[@NorwegianWoods]

That is for sure a very strange thing you experienced there. Thanks a lot for sharing :) - Martin

[@kennybrook2494]

Your video's and presentation are always very well done.

[@PumpkinVillage]

Very nice video. Like your style. The camp was nice. I will have to try that setup. Take care, Al

Thanks Al. I think the setup will work pretty good with a regular tarp as well. Let me know how it works if you try it :) - Martin

Good information about the fish.

Great videos brother! Personally, I cant wait for the autumn and winter! No mosquitos, nor blackflies and in my opinion, the nature turns in to its most beautiful state! Seeing Ruska and swimming in Avanto along with bathing in a wilderness Sauna.. And watching the Aurora Borealis! My favorite things to do outdoors, hands down. :) Greetings from Finland sir!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks my friend. I also like the cold and dark season a lot. I can't say that I am too bothered with the bugs when I have a decent bug net on my shelter. I miss the northern lights from when I lived up north in Tromsø :) - Martin

That light you saw is ball lightning. I have seen it several times. It is really cool to see.

[@charlierussell2368]

Great Job...always enjoy your videos thank you..

[@Rick1dat]

This happened about 30 years ago. My wife and I were looking for some land for building a home outside of town about 5.5 miles. Late at night 2 in the morning and very hot 84 degrees in August. It was very hot inside not able to sleep I got up when outside and sat on the hood of my truck, it was just me wife stayed inside. I heard a sound like the wind blowing after 5-10 seconds I see this light coming down and around a corner, it went right pass my place. The light was like a light inside of a light, this object was about 10-15 feet off the ground and was going very very fast. When it got in front of my place I heard no more wind at all no sound what so ever and down the road it went. Never to be seen by me again. And nice vid Martin.

[@kawonnajculkeram]

Funny thing. I had quite a similar night to yours this weekend (4-5.02.17) - begun late sat evening, the forrest was dark already, made supper on the fire , put my trousers and the jacket in an orange 40l dry bag, slept in a hammock, had porridge that i premixed myself for breakfast ( I bet you had a difficult washup afterwards too ;) . All this near Rakkestad ( not far from your spot? ) Maybe next time you'll see a strange light on the other side of the valley it will be my campfire ;) Good video, good channel. Keep on! Hilsen, Marek

Good show brother , I have the same poncho both halves haven't used it yet except to setup in the back yard for water proofing. Got a two day trip this weekend in the Sacramento Mountain range in New Mexico almost makes me want to take it but my pack is already loaded . I too am leaving my axe this trip and taking a esee 5 knife and my folding saw , there will be snow and lows around 19° F . Happy times !

[@sasquatchlifenotrace8024]

Just stumbled in and already sub'd. Very nice video and story. I've seen a lot of things that I could not explain. I was raised on a farm and lived there into my 20's. One winter evening, leaving for night shift, the sky to the south was a light with red. It was as if a forest fire was burning, I learned later there were no fires. I still have not found an explanation for this event and have not experienced it again.

[@wasaflirt]

NICE VID STRANGEST THING I HAD HAPPEN WAS DURING A 10 TRIP IN A NATIONAL FOREST HERE IN THE USA THERE WAS A BAD STORM GOING ON FOR 2 DAYS AND 1 NIGHT I HEARD A NOISE AROUND 2-3AM INSIDE MY TARP AREA SO I OPENED MY EYES AND TO MY SUPRISE THERE WERE 3 BOB CATS UNDER THE END OF MY TARP LOOKED TO ME LIKE A MOTHER AND 2 KITS/CUBS MO SAT AND STARED AT ME AND I AT HER FOR ALMOST 30 MINS. THEN AS THE RAIN SLOWED DOWN THEY JUST WALKED AWAY NEVER TO BE SEEN BY ME AGAIN BUT NOW THAT HAD ME A LITTLE BIT FREAKED OUT BUT TO THIS DAY I WOULD STILL SHARE MY CAMP WITH THEM 3 THEN NEVER BOTHERED ME NOR I THEM KEEP UP WITH YOUR VIDS I TRULY ENJOY THEM

Thanks my friend. It was not the easiest fire I have made :) - Martin

[@joenadeau4419]

Good stuff here, that's a nice saw but I think I would bring a small hatchet instead of the big knife for splitting. I know that lots of people use the knife for splitting but I was trained to use a ax/hatchet many years ago. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for stopping by. I also like to carry an axe. Usually I bring my Fiskars splitting axe. It is a bit of weight to carry but it makes splitting very easy. The knife is more of a small experiment for me. It worked a lot better than I had expected :) - Martin

[@killslay]

Great video. You just got a new subscriber. No strange experiences other than the time I left camp to climb a mountain and when I came back exactly half my beer was stolen.

[@icryostorm3727]

Tak! enjoyed your perseverance with the fire - its never fun - and some1 usually ends up getting a firestarter or similar.

[@NorwegianWoods]

The fire making can be a nice little challenge when everything is wet. It is a great feeling when the fire starts catching though :) Thanks for watching - Martin

I was wondering about the direction of the wind, maybe we should keep it in consideration before we make the tent so the fire is built in the correct direction so it deosnt smoke the tent . I love all your videos good job !
