Winter Hammock Camping: Forging, Pizza Oven, Bow Drill Fire

Join me on this uk winter camping trip where I setup my hammock and tarp between the trees and we attempt to forge a knife in the woods by building a charcoal pit, and heating the coals up with bellows. Then forging the knife on a mini anvil which we secured to a log!

Bushcraft, craftsmanship, and pizza: I want ALL my outdoor adventures to be like this!

[@ATHOSOutdoorProspector]

Soon 👌

[@poissonpuerile8897]

Great to see someone else who likes to take a 50 lb anvil with them while camping! It's just _not_ the same without one!

[@Bridgercraft]

As a blacksmith and fan of the outdoors myself this video brings me joy. Although I tend to use a propane forge for most of my work it's nice to use charcoal every now and then. There's something kinda primitive and primal about it, feels like a connection to blacksmiths of the past. The smoke, the heat, the smell, the grime. Brilliant.

[@12stepsbeyondtheeventhorizon]

I adore that part where you put some mellow music for the slowmo footage and narrated it. Beautiful stuff. Hope to see more similar content in the future. Cheers!

[@ericmuckensturm5664]

Great production there, indeed!

[@mostlymonkey1979]

This video did me a ton of good. Thank you all for a bit of that delicious, rustic, cozy feel. Also, rest in peace, lovely bellows...

[@danirivanovichstudio]

Subscriber from Venice here. Everything cooked on fire in the woods is great guys. Your pizza looks great 💪

[@ThornWoodForge]

My pizza has been given the stamp of approval by a real Italian! My day is made!! 😂

[@danirivanovichstudio]

@@ThornWoodForge Hey, give me a slice before to take the badge 🤣

[@bbranett2188]

My rotator cuff was screaming in sympathy watching all that hammering.

[@Lazarus-aap]

Forging a knive in the woods during a nice camp night, is just awesome! And apparently you have the exact same hammock setup as me. Only difference is, is that my underquilt is brown. I also recommend tree huggers with multiple loops and whoopie slings.

[@marinamagic6394]

Just something enchanting about forests in the UK. Love your content.

[@armandvanzyl6325]

As a bushcrafter and blacksmith this video was perfect. Keep up the good work with these amazing ideas. i think that every bushcraft camp should have a little blacksmith work area for crafting small usefull things.

[@Wolfram762]

Great video guys!!! As a person of German AND Italian decent...I approve your bushcraft pizza!!! Lol! But in all seriousness they looked absolutely amazing!!!! The knife looks like it's going to be awesome!!!

[@JamesSmith-is7co]

Well done!! Sweet knife, great pizza and I love the wildlife that just runs through the camp!!

[@alunjones9153]

That's cool don't know nobody wot can do that so cool 😎

[@nomadicstar7888]

Please can we have a part 2 to see the knife finished. Absolutely loved everything about this episode!

[@alexanderbielski9327]

Very cool!

[@ek-nz]

The cooking is fine - I still make the same fajitas you made in the first video I watched. Mushrooms and capsicum chicken fajitas made in the polish lavu tent. You got an instant subscribe from that one!

[@cheryltucker6589]

Fascinating process! Thanks for keeping it simple & beautiful!❤

[@DimitriLambermont]

That is quite clever. Just a 'hole in the ground' and some bellows.

[@geargodextreme]

Don't worry, Italian here and I love your cooking outdoor. I tried making pizza some years ago in a improvised hoven while outdoor and the result was pretty bad

[@riuphane]

Blacksmithing, camping, and cooking in one!? What a video!!

[@eddybooth1]

Great video full of extremely talented guys , cheers mate

[@anthonypiligno7618]

I like this type of video better than others that you came out with... Maybe a little longer.... That is just my opinion... Thank all you guys for the video I will check his knife videos out........ JJ....😊 USA...

[@lemps81]

Love the uuni ovens. Using one in the woods is great commitment!

[@johnvanpolanen3589]

Awesome video Mike ! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute !

[@goodyJ0on]

I recommend getting on of those pizza ovens. I have one and I make pizza's all year and friends and family love coming over for pizza parties.

[@ArielleViking]

That pizza sure looked delicious, nice pizza oven. Forging in the dark looked so neat, great job guys, very awesome video. 👍🏻❤️

[@royflint3551]

It would be great to see that knife all finished. Maybe even put it up for auction as a "one off" Great video and content as always. /cheers👍

[@mikevincent8728]

Fantastic night out! Top job, Mike and co :D

[@davehumpleby3440]

A novel and thoroughly entertaining video. I look forward to seeing the knife when it's completed.

[@LaFara568]

From Italy : great content! Hammering in the woods look very interesting and about pizza... Great job! Don't worry about Italians, they have to many issues about food (even if until 100 years ago pizza belonged only to specific parts of the southern part of peninsula)

[@georgeplattsmtb]

Love the petramax pan got the same one

[@FFShore.]

Hello from a fellow outdoor KZbinr!!! I really enjoyed watching this!!

[@alanponter4917]

Something different and very interesting Mike. I enjoyed that very much.

[@kingrafa3938]

Another great video Mike. Well done guys!

[@danny88dh]

I wanna see that knife all finished in a video or 2 or however long it would take him to finish it completely that looked pretty stinkin good

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Fantastic & interesting video Mike 👍👍.

[@kermitthepog7063]

Great video!

[@hansesselink9386]

Very nice videos, and something different to show to us. beautiful to watch a knife being forged. Could you show us the end result in a different video? Also nice to see some sourdough bread which predates the use of yeast. And lovely pizzas

[@zex69]

NICE I found your channel from Alec Steele back when you made a knife and now you are making one in the woods !! ❤

[@gambirfarmerdaliusman]

[@FreezyAbitKT7A]

Is that smithing not forging?

[@paulobernardi-ng2eu]

Tenho saudades dos seus primeiros videos de Construções no mato!

[@timothymartin5538]

I think you guys should do a series of campfire forged knives, make the handle out of a piece of the wood the campfire was fed.

[@DelayedRevelations]

you should auction off that knife in particular. Would be so cool to have a knife you literally saw being forged in the woods

[@Gr1m011]

i love your content man so jealous

[@YKB6.9]

cheers buddy thanks for sharing

[@Tosadar_Outdoors]

It was a blessing to watching this video 👌🔥🤘🍻💯

[@cee8mee]

Very cool episode!

[@Warity-s3d]

First 10 seconds i see fire and meh brain likes it

[@zfgjay1629]

next time you should use a battery powered airbed pump for max efficiency to blow air in the fire

[@Slikx666]

Something i learnt last year was you can make steel yellow hot just by hitting it. It's all to do with putting energy into it quicker than it looses it, or it very hard work. 🥴

[@freddyoutdoors]

Really enjoyed watching looked an epic camp with pizza and knife making

[@savagepro9060]

Related Facts: 1. The highest temperature in a wood-fired kiln is 1,563 degrees Celsius (2,845.4 degrees Fahrenheit) and was achieved by Zhunan Snake Kiln and Lin Jui-Hwa (both Chinese Taipei) in Zhunan, Miaoli County, Chinese Taipei on 18 June 2016. The record temperature of 1,563 degrees Celsius was reached at 8.45 pm in the evening. 2. A household wood fire burns at around 600°C. Temperature can change depending on the type of wood and its condition. Bonfire - The temperature of a bonfire gradually heats up to around 600°C, but bonfires can reach 1000-1100°C.

[@johndc7446]

It would be cool to see you make a bear proof camp/fort where it is surrounded with sharp log fences pointing outside the camp to scare the bears or other predators.

[@keithfreeman7725]

The UK doesn't, officially, have any predators. Big cats used to be kept as pets and a few were believed to have escaped. To the best of my knowledge, there has never been an attack by such a creature. 😊

[@pitt6801]

It's not surprising that you set fire to your bellows. You had the inlet hole pressed against the floor so the air was being pulled back in directly from the fire instead of through the inlet 😂🤣

Imagine forgetting your knife so you just forge one. Simple as that

Ok got a stinking cold so my brain might not be fully funtional but i cant find the pizza recipe

[@keithfreeman7725]

Dough, tomato paste with herbs, a few bits of protein on top, mozzarella chunks and parmesan grated over. Bung in the pizza oven. 😊

[@weshenry9592]

Good lord its not 1776 use a lighter !

[@keithfreeman7725]

Lighters are cheating in bushcraft. Only to be used in an emergency. Much more effort needed to use a bow drill.... That's a hard won skill. 😊

[@richp309]

Convinced I got smoke in my eye 3 mins in

[@mephistotheone5856]

Don't know why, but I can never take seriously someone that is trying to teach bushcraft, when they wear a smartwatch!
