Short description:
In this video, I walk into a quiet Estonian forest in search of a rare birch polypore mushroom. After finding a fresh one, I continue until I discover a natural place to build a small bushcraft shelter. I collect spruce branches, set up the shelter, make a fire, boil water and prepare birch polypore tea. The warmth of the fire and the silence of the forest create a calm and cinematic no-talking bushcraft experience.

Welcome to Bushcraft Bear – a calm and authentic journey into the northern wilderness.
Since 2015, this channel has been dedicated to real bushcraft, outdoor life, forest cooking, winter adventures, and simple living in nature.
Most videos are quiet and atmospheric, sometimes with a bit of spoken commentary when the moment calls for it — always relaxed, always grounded.
Together with my dog Rufus, I explore forests, rivers, snow-covered landscapes, and remote corners of Estonia and the Baltic region.
Here you’ll find tarp setups, shelter building, hiking, campfire cooking, fishing, winter trails, and the honest rhythm of outdoor life in all seasons.
If peaceful woodland moments, crisp winter air, crackling fires, and authentic outdoor gear in real use speak to you, then you’re in the right place.
