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: https://youtu.be/T8MiSNL_o5k Hope you enjoy and please subscribe if you would like to see more like this - Mike
  • @Shivaziv
    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 ❤️
  • @tcressman
    Dustin adds a cool dynamic to the whole. Dude knows how to cook in the woods!
  • @hope4lifewalker739
    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!!!
  • @FilthyDubbzStep
    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.
  • @BUSHCRAFTTOOLS
    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!
  • @suneelandrey4476
    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.
  • @TheWanderingIrishman
    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 :)
  • @johnw3443
    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 :)
  • @nairnmonster
    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!!!
  • @EddieOakes
    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 :)
  • @paulfitzpatrick3136
    I like how the dog was in the middle of everything clearly trying to get a game going.
  • @tracestevens1773
    Loved spending camping time with good looking men of the forest and Amber! Nice show and great cooking . Yum!
  • @jamesellsworth9673
    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.
  • @RumMonkeyable
    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!
  • @mawmawvee
    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.
  • @wakule
    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!
  • @jean_6524
    Love to see the campers that sweep the area👏👏👍
  • @KevinCurry
    A great eating/drinking trip and some camping happened along the way!
