Thunder Box Privy Project Part One – Econo Challenge Channel EconoChallenge 2022-09-15 | The increasing popularity of crownland camping has created some unexpected consequences. Garbage left by other campers has always been an issue but now human waste is becoming the next problem. Personally, I have an issue carrying out other campers’ plastic wrappers or occasional beer cans. If you pack it in you can pack it back out with you. Most users will collect other people’s trash left behind if they have room in their pack. I draw the line at carrying out other camper’s human waste.Will adding facilities like a thunder box to deal with human waste make these campsites more attractive and therefore more popular? Should individuals like us take this kind of action?

Bobtail Mountain Provincial Park – Ancient Forest Provincial Park - British Columbia - Canada EconoChallenge 2022-09-11 | The park is located about 55 km southwest of Prince George. The Bobtail Mountain trail is a 5 km trail (one-way) that starts with a short climb, thereafter continuing with gentle ups and downs until you reach the summit of Bobtail Mountain. The trail ends at a viewpoint where there is a cabin suitable for day use. The website warns travellers about a bridge removal adding an additional 2 km each way to the hike. On foot, the total distance could be 14 km (8.5 miles) in unfamiliar territory. We think we can do it. Here is what actually happened.Ancient Forest Provincial ParkNestled in the traditional territory of the Lheidli T’enneh, the park protects a portion of the only inland temperate rainforest in the world. Hiking the Ancient Forest trail will bring you past thousand-year-old western redcedars and rich biodiversity of plants, mosses, lichens and fungi.

Rechargeable Batteries Interfere With Audio Recording Equipment – Warning EconoChallenge 2022-09-08 | Power Force Plus Rechargeable batteries have been shown to interfere with some audio recording equipment. Caution is advised if using these batteries in portable microphones for example. This video shows what happens to an audio track when these batteries are installed in powered microphones. A possible explanation for the unwanted noise could come from the added charging circuitry each battery has built in. Current nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries do not have this charging circuitry built into each battery and do not cause unwanted noise.

Ontario Derecho Wilderness Storm Damage Saturday, May 21, 2022 EconoChallenge 2022-09-06 | According to Environment Canada, the storm hit the province in the afternoon of Saturday, May 21, and brought winds as high as 130 km/h along with hail that ranged from the size of a nickel to the size of a toonie. According to CBC News, at least eight people were killed in the storm. At least five of the fatalities occurred in Ontario and were due to being struck by a falling tree. Described by meteorologists as a historic derecho, this storm will be remembered as one of the most impactful thunderstorms in Ontario’s history.You will enjoy this video series if you hike, backpack, trek, paddle, kayak, climb, pedal, wilderness camp, or love it all!

Bushcraft Chair – Hobo Stove – Soda Can Burner – Test Video EconoChallenge 2022-09-03 | I am back with this test video featuring the Amazing Wilderness Camp Chair, the World Famous Cook Kit and the Amazing Wilderness Shelter. A new microphone on a new camera shot a video that I have edited on new software running on a new operating system. If you are reading this then I must have been successful at getting it all to work. I have been lost for a few years now. I lost my interest in upgrading camera equipment, computer equipment and editing software because my computer operating system updated or YouTube changed something. The fate of my channel was uncertain as I battled with multiple software and hardware issue trying to upgrade everything one more time. I have completed no less than 4 complete equipment and software upgrades since the Econo Challenge YouTube channel was created in 2007. Each one requiring more processor speed, better camera resolution and always a media change. I have gone from High 8 tape to DV tape to memory cards. None of it is backwards compatible, supported or built to last. Lost files, corrupt sectors or defective memory replace wrinkled tape and dirty play heads.Then you have the extra support equipment needed to continue shooting for days without access to modern infrastructure. Solar panels need to connect to battery banks so they can charge camera and microphone batteries. Don’t forget the cables and connectors that go with it all. Over time I have slowly created a complicated system to capture and bring back images and video from the wilderness. I realized I was no longer enjoying the creative process. I was dreading it.Hopefully, this trend turns around.You will enjoy this video series if you hike, backpack, trek, paddle, kayak, climb, pedal, wilderness camp, or love it all!

Poncho Shelter Overnight Wilderness Camping – Help solve a mouse mystery - Not So Wild Vlog #18 EconoChallenge 2020-11-05 | Fall is my favourite time of year to risk ditching some of the barriers that stand between me and the beautiful Canadian wilderness.

Primitive Clay Pottery Revisited - Econo Challenge EconoChallenge 2018-08-15 | This primitive clay pottery project took place over one week. The first-day clay was collected and cleaned. Then grog was added using the fired pottery from my previous attempt. Finally, the coiling method was used to create a bowl. I returned home with the project to allow it time to dry inside a vegetable ziplock bag over five days. No cracks formed. I returned to the same location on the following weekend with the dried clay pot to fire it in a campfire and complete this video.

Best Wilderness Fireplace Design EconoChallenge 2018-06-30 | A horseshoe shape made of rock with a high back, sloping sides and low front is my favourite wilderness fireplace design. The rocks absorb heat and radiate it back when the fire dies down. The rocks at the back of the fire pit reflect light and heat up to create a chimney effect that helps carry smoke up into the air above those enjoying the fire. The lower front allows more heat to radiate toward the viewer and allows a better view of the fire right down to the coals. In this video, we cover some aspects of site selection and show this design being built on a wilderness campsite."Royalty Free Music from Bensound”You will enjoy this video series if you hike, backpack, trek, paddle, kayak, climb, pedal, wilderness camp, or love it all!Stone Oven Baking - youtu.be/MQeOiSw7M5oDo Campfire Reflectors Work - youtu.be/s8pYiN13-nsWebsite - amazingwildernessproducts.comFacebook - facebook.com/econochallengeInstagram - instagram.com/econochallenge#econochallenge #AmazingWildernessCampChair
