A winter camping / Survival / Bushcraft trip with no tent or sleeping bag. This is a solo camping trip, where I build a Bushcraft Shelter, enjoy some campfire cooking, and build an amazing (automatic) fire! All while using only my Bucksaw, Axe, and Bushcraft Knife. This one is a filmed in a cinematic no talking ASMR style but with words to describe what I'm doing, and to teach and pass on knowledge.
Temperatures got way colder than I expected, I had to utilize a Self feeding fire, also known as an automatic fire, and build a primitive shelter in order to make it through the night. It was fairly sleepless I must say, but I had expected that. I cooked a delicious campfire meal of a chicken on a spit. Of course, with the ASMR eating style and some mouthwatering closeups! I consider this one of my most relaxing camping videos.
The self feeding fire worked amazingly. It was actually my first time attempting it, and I was pleasantly surprised. I was prepared to keep feeding it all night but it burned pretty much on its own.
I show a variety of techniques for winter primitive survival, and explain the theory behind each of them. I hope you enjoy!
