Video Transcription

throw my friends we are here on this is this bridge in a new trail I just made it once two months ago and this will be more hiking vision and a bushcraft even if as a usual er I will always make some bushcraft activity during late [Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

the ground is really wet so we will have a hard time using the Hubble stove I guess I'm not sure if I will use that the advantage of the above stove of course is that you use just a few sticks to cook and also you don't need much preparation for the fire the downside is that when the the wood is really wet like this it's not very easy to sustain the fire inside inside the above stove because of the small amount of heat that you can have an inside the stove so in the in the fire is easier you just throw sticks inside the fire and with no problem you the fire will go on while the other stoves you have to nurse them a lot more anyway I'm not planning to to cook a lot I will find the summer chestnut on the on the trail of it because this trail is really inside chestnut wood so I will hit some chestnut along the way and I cook them on the fire or on the hobo stove who is he together as you can see my friends the environment has changed a lot I like to see that I'm in the middle of nowhere nobody's around or sitting of towns no no people and that's the way I like it only my dog this is the trailer and as you can see is a release tip and we have to get on the top of that hill up there in the middle of the clouds as usual I started this morning that I was thinking that it was a clear day a sunny day instead I find that it's not so but not a big deal anyway hope that it doesn't rain because I don't have the tarp or the poncho with me and so it will be not a problem but complication of this this drip in cases like this with this wet ground the best option is to take branches from a tree like that one that this is and they use them at least to start the fire then you can also grab what you find on the ground but only after you have stopped the fire eventually you can also split the wood and some logs but for me and this is just my personal opinion the use of the above stoves is for small pieces of wood if you have to take so much time cutting the wood with the so and then splitting it splitting the log to find a dry material dry wood and use it with our stove you spend so much time to do that that for me at that moment you should start the fire that's it because I it's easier unless you have a different reason to use that them like if you are in a park where is a forbidden the fire but in other cases I use and the stoves only for to be quick and to use much less wood with a no effort at all I'm gonna make my fire here because they are really wet the ground

I guess this time I will dig a small hole to use it to cook my chestnuts every time I remember I always take with me sure like this it's always useful I know that you can you always use a stick too deep but believe me that with this is much much easier and also faster now that I have made this small hole I will use this branches and also I've put many sticks as I see you can see inside it so when it will be enough they will start burn also will put this net made of Kevlar on it and I cook my just not over it

so start

I'm taking some dry material since today we have to work a bit to start this fire [Applause]

the seasonal you have to work much harder this is the worst season I guess because but of course in in summer it's much much easier with everyone can start the fire

during summer sometimes it is more difficult to prevent an accidental fire than to start one but also during winter when the snow has covered everything you can find a much drying stuff than during this season full of moist I could have as I said that I could have a split the bigger lager and find the dry material but I don't want to waste too much time for the fire I want to travel more today [Applause]

we also use my heat shield to create more heat around fire as you can see I've used this is a net of Kevlar you can buy it buy it for a few bucks on a store - I will put the chestnuts up there this is the idea anyway

she is the channels hmm

please Louie would you know what that system happened not to work very well so I will just put the chestnut insider in the fire we've no problem at all maybe look cook very well anyway as you can see

yes marine they are very hot [Applause]

it's time to dig a bit to recover them it tastes very good you just make a small hole here to prevent it the just not to explode I really love Jeff not as you can see in this way you can cook you're just not Weaver no problem as you can see no trace of my way passage and this is the best way to to stay in the forest especially in this beautiful forest and environment full of colors of the autumn unfortunately as in you will notice we are in the middle of the clouds and so the gorgeous view that I promised you we won't be an option I'm sorry guys but that's what we got but for me it's really good anyway to be in the middle of the clouds it's always beautiful for me I feel like I'm in the sky sorry for my breath because it's really steep but I almost get to the top these I guess are the last steps to reach the top of this mountain and I can tell you guys that it's not really an easy trail but I enjoyed every step of it

and you can see we are walking on the crest on the on the region of the of the mountain for the last steps and as I said you are exactly in the middle of the clouds and the trail as you can see is a really really narrow you see but it's really beautiful and you can do it with no problem if you know suffer from the hair heights as they usually have to you have to forgive me from my English because is that is far from perfect I can say but I hope I can make myself understood

this logs down here I wonder if someone has the same habit of mine but I don't think so

it was no I don't think so I think that's for fire where's my dog the exactly trail even if I found wild anymore but anyway this is a tree I don't wanna bother you with all the trail but I'm a for me this is a special so I wanted to share it this part with you I hope you like it it's really particular and also weird in some way look at the tree and they're also down there we are from here you should have a wonderful view but today as I said no you just clouds

[Music]

[Music]

anyway guys look at this this view well guys given that it's become dark I guess read that for this video it would be all for me the trip is not over at all but I'm sure that I will continue it with my headlamp and so I hope you like the review anyway even if the weather was not the best and also we don't add many bushcraft activities I hope you enjoyed the video and you liked it and until the next time I wish you all the best see you soon my friends [Music]

you
