Solo Overnight Sleeping in Oilskin Blanket Shelter - Building Bug Torches from Nature

video description

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Join Mike Pullen as he spends a solo overnight under a blanket shelter and builds fire torches to keep the bugs away. With temperatures reaching 25 degrees celcius, high humidity and little to no wind, Mike arrives to the woods at 6pm and gives himself 90 minutes to build a frame for his shelter, get a fire going, cook food and make torches from natural materials to keep the bugs at bay. Andrey: The forest beckons us to go hiking, fills our thoughts. You can't stay at home anymore! You literally rip your jacket and backpack off the hanger. You set off on a journey where there are no people, and nature is especially beautiful. The smells of wet needles and last year's foliage are carried by warm air, which, like a powerful stream, passes through you. You can't get enough of them. Smoke-smelling camping food and clothing. The forest accepts us as we are. We are his guests, not his hosts. And we are grateful to him. How can it be boring for someone in this world, where you can look at the pattern of veins on a green leaf for several hours. Great video.

I do understand the need to keep items in your backpack to a minimum regards tools, but I ve noticed on several videos, when someone is using an axe to clean a length of wood of twigs and small branches, some of them give way very easily, but the swing of the axe momentum keeps going, down and back towards their legs. I find this could be a risk of injury, the axe maybe too heavy a tool for the job. It is a minor point I m making I guess, but I d try packing good quality loppers that could be attached to the outside of the pack, plus anvil secateurs for finer cleaning that have good belt pouches. Stuck in a forest alone with a bad cut on your leg, makes for a rubbish day out, so I d lessen the chances, even experts have such mishaps. I m definitely no expert, not even a reasonable amateur of this subject, but can spot dangers that could be avoided, for what its worth

I did get notifiication, and I watched last week's episode. Loved the mini Round house.
Here it is you have a woolblanket/oilskin and I'm thinking 'he'll to something like an Adirondike set up'. but NOOOOo. you built and full blown Military Wall Tent! You don't do anything half way! What an awesome campout.
Your Knot is a Weaver's Knot. I was taught, your loose tail should go: under, over, over, under. Under the long cord then over the cord, over the loop, then under the loop and through. This knot should tighten against the other knot and prevent both knots from coming loose. Weavers, knitters and crocheters use this knot because you can trim the ends of the tails off.

I've been keeping the strings from the tops of bags of animal feed for cordage lately. Those strings are tough, never seem to break down, and I've already bought the things anyway.

Thanks for another great video. Could you use the back of your axe head as a hammer more efficiently than sticks? Thanks again!

Great video, love your ingenuity. Do you not get bothered by slugs during the night sleeping on the ground in an open shelter
