I head to the bushcraft camp to do a full detailed tour of my super shelter build. My bushcraft camp is complete with Hunting Tower and ladder, large primary lean to shelter with raised bed, a secondary lean to shelter with a log and moss roof, a dog shelter with moss roof and log, a saw horse, fire pit, log store, wood timber frame roof with adjustable tarp system for when there is bad weather at the camp. I also built perimeter walls around the camp. The Bushcraft Camp Update series has been a great adventure. I enjoy building a natural shelter from resources that I find in the woods. I have enjoyed camping overnight alone in this bushcraft camp. Being alone in the forest listening to the sounds of nature. When I first started building this super shelter I used minimal gear, just simple hand tools so that I could build it on the cheap and save money. Once my Bushcraft Skills developed I began to get better bushcraft tools and I learnt how to build larger shelters. I wanted to build something a little different. With the resources available I could have probably built a Log Cabin. But I wanted to build something different. So now that the camp is built, I can practise my wilderness bushcraft and survival skills. At some point I would like to start learning primitive technology and building with minimal or no tools. Thanks so much to everyone who has watched the bushcraft camp update series on ta outdoors. I look forward to doing more solo overnight trips in the bushcraft camp.

Aw Mike. what a marvelous presentation. a great review. from the heart m8. from the heart. you almost seemed nervous or sensitive on camera. your body language was so honest and genuine as always and when you moved over to the tower I realised it is your voice and your demeanor that makes you so successful to be watched. a teacher that is also continually learning. you have something so winning that we will follow you on any journey you take us. thank you for the review putting it all in context and explaining the hunting. I am older than you Mike but you feel like my older brother whom I can look up to. just so genuine. a great milestone and may you continue in confidence and passion. the trees look ace in Autumn colours. sorry for long comment. regards to all your family and friends. you are one lucky guy. thank you.

Hey Mike, I really enjoyed this video, it was very informative, you cleared up a lot of negatives that unfortunately some of the YouTube community pick up on ie. dead fall/standing, size, leave no trace, material used and the list goes on. I always watch your videos, a lot of the time picking up tips, not just the bushcraft side of things but also filming and styles you use. What I'm trying to say. Thank you, thanks for putting these together, I appreciate the work that goes it to the filming and editing as well as planning and building, so thanks, you inspire and motivate me and I hope some day our paths will cross.

People need to buy up my Impact and Dance of Death James Grider novels on Amazon so I can accumulate money to move out of the desert into a wooded area like in the video. Otherwise there are almost no trees. What do you build a shelter out of? And we are getting brush fires set next to our house and have strong wind and they shut off power in case a power line blows over and starts a fire. I guess I might end up living in a shelter like that if I don't sell my books 200, 000 times. What do I do in it? Read a book on the phone. But what to do when the phone's battery runs out.

yeah please don't cave into youtube's corporate bs. Upload what YOU want. just like the good old days before google. speaking of toilets. Have you considered digging a trench toilet? Also, with that pipe. I would really like to see you build a rocket stove directly over the end of the pipe. The stove you have in the pallet cabin makes me wonder if you made a thin walled clay oven inside the sidewall of a clay kiln or rocket stove, I wonder if your bread would cook more evenly. I have noticed how you wrap your bread in tin foil. just a thought.

I just cant resist myself today. lets hear it for the 666, 000 subs lol awesome tour. I don't remember what video I watched of yours that I watched first but it was one of the videos in the series. It was after I found and binge watched survival lily. I think youtube suggested your videos. From there I got hooked on your videos. I really want to build a bushcraft camp now, but the 2 acre creek we have is infested with poison ivy. I haven't figured out a work around for that, yet.

I ran across your Pallet wood Cabin by accident a couple of weeks ago and was instantly hooked. Jax may have been a tiny bit of that. :-) I had a Jack Russell myself at 1 time and he was my partner for a couple of years as I drove truck across the US and he would ride in the passenger seat. His name was Jack. Sure do miss that boy. But anyway, I have been binge watching your videos and the Bushcraft Camp series is awesome. I'll keep watching.

TA Outdoors - lovely stuff. I'm wondering though, if you live in the UK and don't have explicit permission to use a bit of woodland for this sort of thing, how can you get started? I'd love to build a small log cabin/hut for my son (even if only in our garden) - but I wouldn't even know where to get suitable wood without resorting to buying fence posts from a farm store. You can't just walk into a bit of managed woodland with a saw and help yourself?
reply

maybe its just me. but a wall with so many holes in it is not a wall its a fence. pease take some time filling the holes inbetween the logs and itll stop the snow and rain blowing through the walls. you say you dont want to wipe out the moss to use and its all gravel. i can see you standing on mud. cob the walls. if you want insiration, research old round houses. try your hand at wicker and dorb walls with plenty of over hang next time.

I think I started watching you 3yrs ago because I remember the saw horse build. I was watching a lot of bushcraft, survival and hiking videos and yours came up in the recommended videos list. I think I subbed Carlisle159 about the same time. I find the British perceptions quite interesting and enjoyable. (I'm in British Columbia Canada)

I get the idea of the camp evolving and providing youtube content but there is no coherent layout or use of materials. The only consistent feature is logs - either stacked to make a wall or burned for a bacon sandwich. ;-) Joking aside, why not build a 'properly designed' weather-proof shelter using natural, and/or recycled materials?
