3 Day Camp in the Woods - Bushcraft Shelter, Dog, Wool Blanket (STORM FORCE WINDS)
Join me on a 3 day camp in the woods with my friend Dustin and his dog. We build a bushcraft shelter using natural materials, sleep on tree leaves, deer hides and a wool blanket. Storm force winds threaten to destroy the bushcraft camp that we built but we secure it down and use a tarp to protect us from the storm wind and rain. Using bushcraft skills, we built our shelter out of tree saplings from the forest. Once we build the foundation of the shelter, we put a tarp over the top to protect it from the rain and keep the inside of the shelter dry. On Day 2, we really expand the camp, and build a fire reflector with axe and saw, as well as building a cooking setup with pot hangers for the cast iron oven and kettle. Dustin had prepared some tasty camping meals for the 3 days that we were there. On the first night we spit roast a whole chicken over the fire, the second night we grill a steak over the fire and cook vegetables hobo style in the ash. On the 3rd day, we had storm force winds over 40mph rip through the forest, thanksfully our bushcraft shelter was secured and lasted through the storm. It was an epic 3 days, a camping trip to remember for sure! Thanks for joining us on the adventure! - Mike

What an epic trip! Nothing like 3 days in the woods to reset the body and mind (FULL COOKING RECIPE'S IN VIDEO DESCRIPTION ABOVE) Dustin filmed a Behind-the-Scenes episode of this trip, watch it on his channel here: kzhead.info/sun/h5yGmbeGg5GlaKM/bejne.html Hope you enjoy and please subscribe if you would like to see more like this - Mike
i have been watching for hour and gonna watch the rest soon
I thouroly enjoyed watching this,very relaxing, thanks,well done
Hello. please. I need tips for perfect places for bushcraft in england. if possible with lakes to be able to (try) fish. or clean river. I'm out of work, I need a 4 or 5 days rest before my big holidays, which will only be in February or March and a 3 days next to Christmas (December). I make this request because I am not English, I am Portuguese, maintenance work in a hotel in London, and not what the law says about bushcraft in England. My English is also weak and I do not want to have problems with police or anything. thank you very much.
Hey Mike!!! Did you know you can cook an egg wrapped in a banana peel too? Works the same way as the wet bundle in the video. Keep up the good work
My English is weak, but I think I understand you. you are trying to say that it is forbidden to fish and eat the fish. I know this rule, I return the fish to water. I promise. I've been reading a very good article on the author's internet: paul kirtley's blog. article title: how-to-find-a-place-to-practice-bushcraft-skills-in-the-uk and now I know I'm plotted. if you can not find a place where you have no problems here in England, maybe I'll go to portugal or to Sweden;) as Nathan says. a blog reader commenting on this article; comment: (Now I'm living in Sweden and being a "crazy person who would rather sleep outside in the wet and cold rather than his bed" (typical British person's thoughts) is the norm and I can freely do so thanks to Allemansrätten. Private land, fires, picking berries / mushrooms, camping, roaming, you name it. It makes the UK feel rather backwards.)
This must be the fourth or fifth time I've watched this. Mike, I never thanked you. I was in a really dark place about a year ago after my brother took his own life. I felt as though I could not go on too and got very sick from the stress. Thankfully your channel helped me so much during those dark days. The tranquility of the outdoors and your interactions with dad gave me a lot of peace. So thank you Mike, I love your videos. Please, keep up the good work :)
Hope you're doing well 🙏
@@katemccoy8658 thank you Kate, doing a lot better 😊
Dustin adds a cool dynamic to the whole. Dude knows how to cook in the woods!
You should go on a date 🥰
@@wm7782 Deeply suppressed fantasy you've got there...
@@sbybby who the 🤬 is that guy
This is a great action,adventure,educational,cooking,survival and family vid.
Crazy to think you now have over a million subs on top of Dustin's congratulations toast brother. Love the content
Your channel is what the world needs more of. I'm making my way through all of your videos - because they're not only informative and inspiring - but because it's just so lovely to watch genuinely nice people interact with each other and build incredible things from nature.
You should start putting a warning sign/message at the beginning of your videos with Dustin, with a title saying "Do not watch it while hungry", or something like that. Another great video guys, as always! Thanks for sharing ❤️
That's a great idea!!
Getting the meat sweats just watching it huh???
Gotta love it when Brits bushcraft, they’re so polite and proper. A cup of tea and a “lovely” fire. Yanks would be dropping F bombs and constantly saying “duuuude”.
Watched all the way. Thank you for a great afternoon.
You two make a Great Team!! I really enjoy sitting down at night watching you guys. Better than anything you can find on TV. I can't wait to see more!! Dustin, you Rock on the Fire!!!
Thank you ! what a time it was and epic meals as always . Dustin is an amazing host , i was told that a good bushcraft host will crack out a stash of either whiskey or chocolate to the delight of the company and Dustin had both ! haha . Cheers boys from Alberta Canada :)
My two favs consolidated onto one video 😘🥰
This is like the 4th time I’ve watched this all the way through lol. Everytime I can’t sleep, I put it on TA outdoors, or bushcraft Tools..
Hallo aus Deutschland, Klasse Video, toller Trip und MEGA Essen. Gruß Thomas
Ich finde es auch toll!
Thank's Mike, I really enjoyed this one.... Amber loved it too! The 'BEHIND THE SCENES' video is up on my channel. Can't wait for the next adventure!
It was a bloody good laugh mate! Amber was great!
This was such an awesome video. Dustin is an amazing cook. He makes it look so good and easy to do. Amber is great. Just love when she's around. Can't wait you guys' next adventure. Thanks Mike for sharing your adventure. Sending greetings and blessings from North Carolina, US.
Martin Fowler! Is that you?
Amazing Stuff man, cant wait to see you guys at it again, should look into making a bushcraft cookbook. Theres something really brilliant about the way you present, cook and prepare your food you are a seriously talented cook aswel as being an immense guide full of knowledge and information. Awesome video, glad you collabed again.
Great to hear your voice...it's nice seeing you out and about with Mike. Greetings from Hong Kong. /joel
You are killing me with that cooking !!!Outstanding !!!
Dustin is a reeealy clever guy , no mistake .
Greetings from Montana! I am Native American here in U.S. in Montana and your structure resembles that of a native American s Sweat Lodge. Also a very good shelter, good job! I am a loyal subscriber and never miss a video.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video and hi to everyone from Montana!
It worked really well, considering the wind!
a sweat lodge if used for ceremonies and a wigwam for a shelter
I had the privilege of participating in a sweat lodge ceremony when I was about 14 and living in Illinois. What an amazing experience. Some shapes/structures/functions we humans create are just natural extensions of our imaginations and solutions, aren't they? And in that, we see the manifestation of our humanity transcending time and space, like a long, connecting thread.
In Africa some tribes in the Congo i believe use the very same methods to create their nightshelters when on hunting trips, the structure is so sturdy it can last a while when made proper. Sometimes tribesmen come back to the same place and just have to reapply big leaves for cover, the structure still being sound!
Can't think of a better way to spend 3 days. Really enjoyed this one Mike. Dustin's knowledge and appreciation for "bush" cooked food is a treat to watch. Keep up the good "work" gents!
Learned a lot, please keep sharing, thanks.
🤔That sounds like a good time to me beers 🍺🍻 with a friend with good food in the woods. You can't get better than that 👍
Been watching Mike for a couple of months now and his vids havd been so inspirational to me and my 17 yo son. Not only have we braved the wilderness but I've also started a KZhead channel covering my very slow progress lol. So thanks dude for the vids and inspiration 😁😆👍
, ,,,,,cfhcgi
That's awesome man! Glad the videos have inspired you
I think that was a brilliant camp shelter set-up and everything was so neat and neatly left. I found this video to be so homey and comforting to watch and didn't want it to end. Thank you for a wonderful camping experience.
Englishmen, sitting out in the bush, sleeping in a bivy, cooking on an open fire, and discussing the merits of tea. How wonderful! When we we used to go bush our whole day revolved around finding food and cooking and eating. Like as it should be. All the best.
Eating raclette wrongly but that's for another time ;)
This is an affront, and I'm drooling at will.
I started with the idea of bushcraft and going out in the Woods, sleeping there, ... about one year ago, so I bought the equipment I need. I somehow never went out and sleeping outside. Now, I was more interested again and went out do camp, but it started to be to cold for my sleeping bag and I can't afford a better one (I am only 16), but next spring, I really want to spend some more nights in the forest. But until then, I'll watch your videos and learn from them. I am really happy to have you and your videos. Thanks!
Do you have a sister, or someone else in your family, named Eva Maria ?
Greetings from the Boy Scouts of Greece! Lovely setup and mouth-watering food! I suppose the shelter could be described as a "Europeanised" wigwam. Also, a stone or mud screen at the base of the heat reflector works wonders against the spread of fire. I understand the "Leave no trace behind" ethic but In my own humble opinion when a structure is safe and 100% biodegradable, just as the frame of your shelter was, it should be left behind. It could prove useful to another camper who has to set up a shelter eg. under adverse weather. Very well done! Cheers!
This is honestly the BEST video I have EVER seen! You guys are terrific!!!!
Great. Now i’m starving. Every time Dustin comes out I have to go make some food.
Watched this in bed at 3 o'clock in the morning. Had to get up to make myself a sandwich.
Always find myself needing something hot and warm to eat while watching an episode, my taste buds are calling out for that feeling of eating after a day of camping, always taste so good!
I had to get up and make myself a shelter.
Yes, watching these guys cook does that to me too :)
Ok
no
Dustin, with his real tree camo cap would fit in just fine anywhere around here in the south eastern United States. He looks just like a local good old boy! lol :)
yah bubba bumped his head driving his four x four he's okay until he hears the words viking warrior then goes bezerk
Yorkshire Gold tea! Yes! Discovered it stationed in the U.K. Still order it by mail 40 years later. Love your videos!
I love your girl Amber! What a awesome dog.
Love to see the campers that sweep the area👏👏👍
Leaf no trace. Get it?
Nice trip and a great movie! Thanks for taking us along. Greeting, Hoffi!
I think I enjoyed watching the dog whip that stick around as much as the rest of the video! :)
อาหารคุณดูดีมากเลยค่ะ น้องหมาน่ารักมาก เค้ารักคุณทั้งสองคน ฉันขอชื่นชมค่ะ
Keith Floyd eat your heart out!! Timestamp - 1:18:17 whiskey kicks in ;) In all seriousness brilliant collab, guys. Best one yet in my opinion. Really looking forward to the coastal adventure!

Excellent stuff! Your dog is awesome too! 🐾❤️🐾
It's Dustin's dog, but I agree, the dog has a strong and happy personality.
Love your shows, big fan. But I think I am in love with Dustin. 😍😁😂
Congrats on 600K+ subscribers! Totally Awesome! Dustin and Amber are perfect bushcraft mates....especially, since Dustin is quite the chef! WOW, you two ate like kings on this trip. Thanks for sharing this epic 3-dayer...wind & ALL!
Thanks!
That chocolate banana thing is the best Idea I have ever seen. Thanks!!
It works so well!
He knows what he’s on about with food!
I finished my awesomely-cooked chicken right when the video finished. Priceless !
Which all videos were this long! I LOVE this type of videos. More more more!
Your conversation about tea. I live in Georgia US and I travel 80 miles round-trip just to get Yorkshire tea
Commitment!
A wise choice! Yorkshire Tea is my regular.
order it from Amazon, if you're a Prime member it'll be at your door in 2 days
@@valhutton just did, tnx for the tip
Loved spending camping time with good looking men of the forest and Amber! Nice show and great cooking . Yum!
This video needs a 1000th comment so here you go :)
I am a loyal subscriber, Never miss a video. Love this type of shelter and camping. Great video, THANK YOU
This appears to be a variation from the recent shelter made on the Survival Russia channel. Love seeing Amber and Dustin again. What a great outdoor cook Dustin is, so original in his ideas. A grand outdoor chef. He's now in competition with Carlisle 195, which is a high bar to meet. I wonder if Jaxx and Amber would get along. One of the best things about this channel is, regardless of what you know, you bring in others to instruct you, whether it's your dad or Dustin, and that is a great thing because we all learn at the same time.
No better friend than one little hang out with your camping and especially Make really good food.
No doubt, that dog is a great camping buddy!
The amount of editing and work you put in, can't fault your dedication at all! I hardly watch movies for over an hour without touching my phone, but I don't touch it when watching your videos. Bloody broke my ankle start of September, you are my portal to happiness. Roll on Decembers return to camping!!!
Praying for a speedy recovery for you! Godspeed!
I broke my ankle this is week 3 just had surgery and just got in my hardcast can't wait to get back in the woods thnx so much great videos hopefully I'll be in the woods in another 2 mos
A gdzie pies ?
@@wiesawostrowski6532 co robi pies
A brilliant episode Mike! I love these longer videos, it's really great to get a more in depth look at how you get on in the woods. Cheers!
Living in the north east of France we eat raclette often. Usually served with small baked potatoes and a selection of "charcuterie". Cold meats and dried sausage etc. I agree it is pure Heaven but very bad for cholesterol levels. Lol. I will definately try the chicken recipy. Good health and stay safe.
You guys are so cool. Love Amber, she is so adorable .
Dustin is a 'champion' example of what a professional guide can do to make a woods outing into a lifetime memorable event. Amber is some awesome stick fighter with a hazel stave! I always enjoy your outings with Dustin for bushcraft challenges and for top-class 'guide's' food. I like ripe fresh figs very well. They are more appealing than the 'Fig Newton' cookie bars of my childhood. 'James Bond' in his early adventures, enjoyed Greek Yoghurt and fresh figs for a gourmet breakfast. When I went out with a wool blanket, I also took horse blanket safety pins to keep the footwell of my sleep system together during the night.
Words can't express the surprise she gives you when she whacks you round the back of the knees with a stick!
She whacked me on the back of my head once! That hurt, bigtime!
That's a good looking dog. Thank you for sharing.
Once up in Alaska I'd had enough problems so I took a tote tub with a pull rope on it took a tarp two wool blankets , a big steak and so on . Some beer an axe . Cut some brows , built a small fire . Crooked my steak on a green forked stick . It fell into the hot coals once but still one of the best mosquito flavored steaks I've ever eaten...good video young men , I'm 73 now ...God bless you guys , enjoy life cause it slips by quickly.......
Loved this extended version. Brilliant guys ❤ you've made me want the whiskey and nuts and i dont even like whiskey 😂
Mike another top class video. I'm looking forward to bring my son's out wild camping when there old enough. Thank you for teaching us so much. You self and dustin are a great collaboration. Congratulations on getting over 6000 subscriptions . Keep up the good work.
Many thanks
Watching this in December of 2021 and Mike has 2.4million subs....
You two are seriously amazing! Great vid!
living in Finland it makes me happy you call your drinking vessel a kuksa
Love a man knows how to cook.
Plz invite Dustin to do a overnight at your camp mike.
I would have to say that you fine chaps looked like you had fun out in the wild . I live in the United States & I use to do this kinda stuff like this when I was much younger even in weather that 20 degrees with snow on the ground . Good time
I'm super late on this one BUT, he's a man of culture as he brought French Raclette ! (Greetings from France)
Great video as always, love the Amber footage. What a cute and playful pup!
YESSSS New TA Outdoors! Love your channel.
A great eating/drinking trip and some camping happened along the way!
vegans and PETA would hate this AND THAT'S WHY I SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL
Man your channel is one of the few that I actually really enjoy watching on KZhead, doesn't matter if it's a 10 minute video or an hour long one, rule of thumb, it's good.
I’m just at first meal and had to creep over and sub to the chef... outstanding job...🇨🇦
haha Dustin is the man!
Thanks for subbing!
TA Outdoors you got more buddies that cook like that?? Don’t be shy 👨🍳
BUSHCRAFTTOOLS good job mate. I’m a huge fan of Carlisle195 and you sure have similar style. I can’t wait to blaze through your playlists.🍻🇨🇦
😂 😂 😂 Yup, I was out camping in that too. Great video as always. All the best Skye
Watching an old video I found on youtube and I see your with your friend justin. I am also subscribed to his channel also. I watch old videos all the time. I hope you guys don't get too wet tonight if it rains. Looks like you two had a good meal. You two have fun camping and enjoy all your meals. Stay safe . Thanks for the video.
Incredible. I’m there, watching your video guys, and then two results: I realize that I am hungry and that as French, I have some good recipe to teach you as well, especially if you want to try French cheese And most of all I realize that I’m seating there watching KZhead instead of being outside, doing the same with some goods friends and fellows just like you. Cooking, eating simple but the most delicious dishes than a human can make (outdoor and primitive ones) and having some good beers and wine around a nice bonfire! Congrats guys and keep on with your outstanding life
another great video TA outdoors!
Thanks Scott
I can't wait to watch it tonight.. first I have to finish my work. ^ _ ^
Thanks, I'm 54 and still learning. I enjoy watching your video, and then try the knowledge you teach.
What a great meal! I swear I could smell it! Thanx, guys!
Awesome vid mate! Always love it when Dustin is on. You guys cook up a storm. Greetings from down under.
Thanks for all the effort you put into this video. You guys make a great duo and it is such a joy to watch this vid without getting bored at all! Keep on going and congratz with the huge amount of subscribers. Cheers from Holland
We had such a laugh. Check out the behind the scenes video on my channel for more laughs...
@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS and so I did ;)
how cute the dog
you guys eat better in the woods than I do at home on a regular day
We had a yellow Labrador Setter (looked just like Amba) named Amba Gita. We loved her dearly even though she was the dumbest dog I've ever had. We lived thirty miles out of Austin, Tex . on 10 acres situated about a100 yards from a slow farm road and she managed to get run over by a school bus. Great video!!!! Thumbs up!!! Clark and Virginia
Aw, she probably loved the kids.
To bad I'm in the US. I'd like to join y'all. Looks like alot of fun. Tbh just the food alone makes me wanna make the trip 🤣🤣
I love I love that you guys are these Bush craft professionals and stuff living in the wilderness but then you have this little segment about tea is reminds me that you guys are totally British and it's awesome
now that is what I call camp out off grid. a great watch & a video full of good stuff, food made me hungry just watching. cheers
Hello from Iowa 👋🏻 across the pond and then a little more ha! Truly enjoying your videos immensely!
Hi Mike, good name - Glad you like the vids!
Another Iowa subscriber here. We did the banana boats in the Boy Scouts but also added mini marshmallows. Kids loved them. After being a leader for 24 years, I could almost write a book on campfire cooking. I must admit, all the knots I learned and taught, you taught me a new one. Just goes to show, your never to old to learn something new.
Really enjoyed this vid. Your mate definitely knows his way around a grill (campfire). Food looked awesome and I'll be trying some of his tactics the next time I'm out.
I love to watch Bushcraft video absolutely beautiful like movie and you can enjoy to watch amazing
Loved it when Amber, the dog, stepped on a beeee.... 😁
Cheers Mike!! Super happy for you on reaching this goal. Awesome video enjoyed every minute of it. Loved the banana and chocolate cook. I will be trying that very soon. The egg cooking scene was interesting. I do cowboy eggs where I poke a hole in the top of the egg, the set it in hot ash for about 20 min. Awesome video loved it
*cough cough* may I point out that Raclette originates from over here in Switzerland. The French have just copied us! Lol! Great video by the way!
Exactly right, and there is nothing more American than McDonalds French Fries, I'm positive the french dont make French Fries the same way we do...lol
The French are like Americans all they do is copying stuff and try to make them their own
Awsome, awsome, awsome... Great job on the video, the food prep and cook ideas, that shelter, everything.
Amber❤️❤️❤️❤️her ddy too!! You are so talented 😘😘😘😘. Keep up the good work. ❤️❤️❤️❤️from 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great episode! But Raclette is a Swiss Chees! Greetz from Switzerland! 😉😊
Yes. Technically, Raclette is originally a Swiss cheese. Raclette du Valais can indeed only be Swiss, but "fromage à raclette" can be made anywhere with the same recipe (so Mike's hunk of cheese might be made in France). Just like cheddar : its origin is the town of Cheddar in the UK, has a specific geographical indication for it, but cheddar can be made in Australia (same goes for camemberts, but not champagne!)
Just laughing out loud, because as a French girl, raclette really isn't stincky ^^ Great video!!!
quoi ? mais la raclette ne se fait pas cmme ca ahah bon on va pas cracher sur les anglais qui ne connaissent pas trop mais quand même elle etait déja tranchée en plus !
My first time watching ya'll. Great job. Entertaining. Dog rocked.
