Shawn James and Joe Robinet Interview: Bushcraft and Winter Camping
video description
.
when you stop and think about it staying at a camp ground costs 75 to 200 a night. but if you turn around and put that into gear food and travel time you can actually get out to free camp in the woods and enjoy camping in the middle of nowhere
.
I spent most of a year at a camp site just living because the housing market was crud i enjoyed every camp fire and setting up my lil command bunker with a sleeping tent food tent and cover sitting area for all the rain. it wasnt proper camping but it did keep the need to be out making fire with fat wood and what not worth while and affordable.

Guys, you made a great comment towards the end of the video. The term bushcraft should go away. Most people just want to recreate some place quiet and at least semi-private. And they want to be confident that they can handle life's little surprises; such as storms, sudden weather events, being forced to stay longer than you planned, things like that. Most people interested in recreating in the outdoors will never get to take a haversack and march off into the uncharted wilderness. But as Joe said, more people need to just get outside and off of the computers and social media addiction. Good video guys.

Its interesting that backcountry and bush are different for me. The bush is a couple of acres of wooded space, while backcountry is the large, undefined wilderness space. So bushcraft doesnt define the type of canoeing and camping I like. When I hear bushcraft, I imagine my dad and my uncles when they were young, heading to their friends property to drink and fish. Nothing wrong with that, but when I backcountry camp, I move and live with the rhythm of self and nature. Its quiet and peaceful and endless. A very different experience I think.

I find the survivalist mindset more interesting than the classic 90s style survival act. To me, all of life is a survival situation. Incorporating natural materials is simply adding another arrow to your quiver. And incorporating nature in general. Most of our world is still largely undeveloped. Yeah, you may get a cellphone or satellite signal, and yeah, you can bring a battery or solar panel or something, but you should know how to live outside of a sheetrocked stick framed building with pipes in utilities.

Jo is a good guy. He always leaves you with a positive message. When Jo made a video after ALONE, he looked somewhat broken, and I was very sad for him but if I remember correctly these were my words to him, Life is like a trampoline it, s up and down. He has more guts than Carter got pills. and you Shawn have also met your ups and down so I say, keep on enjoying your times together and your new friendship. You both belong on YouTube you deserve the acalade. Till your next video, keep safe.

Had an added thought - after reading some of the other comments, realized that what my kid brother and I did growing up in the country is now called Bushcraft. Debris shelters, canvas tarp tents, igloos and snow caves, we did it all! Thanks to a dad who showed us how to do it, then left us alone to learn, and succeed or fail, but on our own. Life lessons!

Shawn, you and Joe are providing a great service! You are demonstrating skills and thought processes that help regular folks see that getting outdoors and enjoying nature is possible without huge expense; we just have to be willing to practice the skills and try new things. Keep up the great work.

That would be cool to try. My mom would heat bricks up and rap them so we could keep warmer. She always tried to keep enough fuel for the stove. She sometimes ran out. We would sometimes stay on the floor at my grandpas next door. That pot bellied stove was loved.
