I head off into the woods for an overnight solo camping trip using my military poncho tent or Polish Lavvu as it is known as. This small canvas tent is great for camping in all conditions. I usually set the tent up with a centre pole made from a stick, however, this time I do it differently. Using some Primitive Bushcraft, I dig for tree roots and use these as natural cordage to tie together a tripod which supports the tent from the top and eliminates the need for a centre pole. This gives me much more room in the tent for my sleeping pad and backpack gear etc. I gather some firewood, light a fire and cook up a steak on the grill over the camp fire. I then talk about some of the gear that I use. The forest is so silent at night, it was eerily quiet, until the owls started hooting later in the evening. Listening to nature asmr was a great way for me to fall asleep. The following morning, I got the fire going again with some feather sticks and a ferro rod. Using some more Bushcraft and natural materials, I made a pot hanger to make a tea over the fire, before I packed up the camping gear and went back home. Thanks for joining me on the adventure! - Mike

of Pierre outdoors as if you're looking to build your website do head tww Squarespace com /ta outdoors and it really helps support my channel so without further ado let's go camping so I found a nice opening in this coniferous woodland it's very dense I've come here before I have done some camps here before I am late in the evening it's about 6 p.m. now because it's early spring I've only got about two more hours of light left maybe two and a half so I need to set up my tent which is on the bottom of the backpack here just get base camp set up and then I can worry about having a fire cooking some food and just enjoying time in the woodlands so I'm not brought my day pack with me today and that's because I've obviously got a slightly larger tent with it mean the canvas tent is a bit heavier and also I've got a larger sleeping bag in the in the pack and that's because temperatures are dropping down to about five or six degrees tonight which is not freezing but it's a little bit frustrating because it really it should be easily twelve degrees eleven twelve degrees at night so we are quite cold at this time of year so I've gone for the bigger pack I've got with me on the front the Alex Steele hatchet that I forged my custom hatchet that I forged with Alex Steele loved using this thing gonna try and use it as much as I can I saw again I don't really need this is the boreal 21 I don't need it as much but it's just you know I could use a little hand saw but it's just the speed of processing the wood down and I bottle the pack here this is my polish Levu which is the military poncho tent and I do like this packs as loads of straps on the outside what you do help so that's the that's the poncho tent itself but it's actually two Poncho's to polish military Poncho's button together what I'm going to do is just show you what they look like and then set it up as a tent I've made a simple kind of paracord carry handle here with a quick-release loop so I always leave this knot tied up there's my leap and I just pull this quick-release three and that way this slides off I can loosen this by just pulling the tap here then I can slide that off now this I don't lose this because this in a survival situation I could use this for boat bow-drill cordage or anything like that just any cordage but I wrap this up and keep this in my pocket so I don't want to lose it being paracord and green on the moss it can be easily lost this is a ground sheet I keep rolled up in it really cheap kind of top really cheap tarps but it helps us just to keep the ground underneath me a little bit more water through there's the two separate ponchos I'm through the art and through one-armed Steve here I could lift this up just to get a bit more arm movement because it's a bit restricting down here so I can lift that up like that it would reduce the actual point of a the poncho ability and the waterproofness drawstring up here where is it there it's loop this paracord actually hangs inside of the tent but it can be used to draw the hood around you like this so it's button up the hood for like little little red riding-hood but in green tell you what it's it's warm it is seriously warm a little bit out shape at the moment because I've used the top as a ridgepole for my tent so this is it this is the poncho tent as you can see I haven't buttoned it all the way but I can button all the way down it's quite long just about touches to thrall with me so if you're six foot around six foot you would be fine in this to me it's like a big big do baby blanket the arm holes are quite low but when I do that bit more dress like it was really good it feels really tough that tough canvas material because it's military-grade Polish military it's gonna last it's very durable so this is it this is one half of the poncho I pull the arms down it can completely cover me and I would certainly keep out the wind this can be set up on its own as half a shelter just this one poncho can be half a shelter it would be like a teepee but one half open and I will do that more in the summer however the traditional polish levee which I've been using a lot over the winter months with the little G stove as well is two of these button together and I'll show you how they button together usually you start from the hoods

which finds the hood lay it right next to it you already see that that 10 shape already and then I start buttoning from the hood so you find there's the hood there and it's got a reinforced pointment where the center pole would go so that one hood there one hood here now there's buttons and flaps and this is not really a tutorial when the how to do it up but I'll just show you the first button and what I do say I simply pass one button three one button through like that then this extra flap goes over the top and that's what kind of rain seals it and that's why it doubles over the buttons I do that all the way along one side so I buttoned it back up which did take quite a while because it is a little bit of a fiddly job usually now I'd put a center pole in the middle of the tent and that would just act as a support to prop the whole tent up it's great it's easy I know the measurement already I keep the power cord length for what I know to make that center pole however it does obviously restrict the space inside and it's quite limited in there anyway so I'm gonna try a little bit of a different setup today [Laughter]

[Laughter]

it's what I've done is I've got a tripod set up use some natural tree root cordage from these scotch Scots pine tree of a sudden excavate the hole were roots from all the trees because it would obviously fall down and destabilize the tree so just just harvest it a few roots and if you remember obviously I've got paracord in my bag I'm just trying to show you guys different ways of using the environment but if you remember that paracord I used to tie up the tent to wrap it up where I carry the handle that's where this now comes in handy so because because the tip of the tent is actually fairly thick anyway I can ball that up normally I'd stuff some material in there but I can pull that up anyway what I'm gonna do is just tie a simple snip knot on one end of my paracord I've already got a loop on the other end which is okay I probably undo it punch it up scrunch it up like that keep it near the top I want to keep it waterproof and cinch that down really tight I don't know my company so I'm gonna just use that to tag in to close it off like that raisin dough in a tent with this cord and I could tie it to the top of the tripod so don't didn't bring the metal pegs with me for this trip gonna bit more bush grothy and I bots I've just snapped up some sticks gonna stake the tent out first and then raise it up on the tripod so I love this sort of shelter it's so versatile it really is literally just to canvas Poncho's button together and this time I'll just strung it up with some paracord made a little makeshift tripod and it does the job you know it's fairly it's fairly big for someone like me he's really small I'm happy and that sort of shelter to be honest this was rolled up inside the Levu which I've shown in previous videos it's just a it's basically a half if you imagine the footprint of the Luverne there it's half of that footprint that I cut on a cheap ground sheet just to keep the moisture off my inflatable mattress and there we go the loads of space to sleep inside for me

that's the mattress fits in there an absolute treat

she brought my mount of warehouse the Everett the Everest extreme bag which is my winter bag basically I'm probably gonna be too hot in this bag but it's fine because I know it's dropping down the temperatures tonight and this is not a lightweight backpacking trip advisor not a lightweight man this is just a single overnighter and I've only got I got here it's 5:30 p.m. so it's a short one which is why I don't mind carrying heavy a bigger gear I'd rather for a comfortable night there's a great bag this I am enjoying it so Basecamp is set up I'm pretty happy with it it's not perfect I know but I only had a few hours probably got another hour left of sunlight yeah hour left of sunlight now I need to process some firewood I don't need a huge fire tonight but I'm gonna go process some firewood and get some food on the go this was that tree that was rotten it was falling down earlier and I'd used the top part of it up here top part to make the tripod for the tent it's definitely rotten because you can see you guys can see that at the bottom there that's why it's blown down and the wind here such a dense forest so that end is pretty unusable but probably about a foot in I reckon we'll be okay for firewood have a look [Laughter]

or you can even see it ah it's really resinous you guys see that the pink resin in there the bottom hearts really punky and to be honest doesn't smell doesn't smell too sweet or sappy but that side there and it's starting to rot a little bit at the top but that's nice and white nice and dry generally I find you know the whiter this area is the dry the wood I know it's a fairly basic tip but you guys can find really white wood that's usually quite well that should be fine for a fire and it's dry it's a soft wood the Scots pine you can tell that just by digging your nail into it your finger now I know it's a software anyway pine but just by digging my fingernail and it's leaving a dent which tells me that it's softwood and the grain structure on it you can see it there it's really split really sort of wide grain not good for carving at all hasn't got that compact grain that the hardwoods do and you can see the sort of rings or the aged rings of the tree really easily there each ring represents one year of growth you see the cambium layer very easily on these Scots pines and you can't just about see the pith in there so this whole log will probably be enough definitely to get some fire going and cooks and food [Laughter]

[Laughter]

this is not no way I normally chop Woodford I guess the ground says soft and I didn't have a chopping block it's an arrest it against that such a short hatchet it's seriously dangerous if I miss so give my legs nice and wide apart I'm using this blog as a shock absorber and I'm gonna hit this little log about their ideally I'd like this to be a bit longer we're gonna hit it near the top there okay I need the first few to split and then the fire should do the rest it's damp there but I don't trust having a fire in it so that deep around it I used these before in this woodland hence why I found them again some rocks just a raisin fire up a bit because I don't I want to protect that forest floor even though it's soaking wet I owe it to the forest to protect it cool so I've boosted the ice on the camera so it looks really light but it's now 8 o'clock at night and the Sun has set but just pieces the camera for you guys so you can see lignum stealer I wouldn't normally do this onto rocks because if my blade slips it's going to blunt on the rocks but I know when to stop doing it so I'm okay with that doesn't spread later what up here as well the OTP going don't need this or any more okay guys as you can tell it's now I've got the heart pretty quick I'm just letting the fire burn down a bit got my grill here and this canvas pouch made for me by Tim I'll make him glue Angelica bushcraft and cuz the rocks are raising the fire off the ground normally I'd sit the grill flat like that on the fire but because the rocks are raising it up this grill has legs and it does warp it's a cheap grill I'll pop a link to it and Amazon I've got mine on Amazon a paper this and you can see it it's fairly warped but because of those legs it means it can sit above the fire like this which is dead handy when you've got a fire that sort of raised on rocks and just makes it still sort of work really so let that bird down then I will put a steak on it because that's what we're having tonight nice and simple because I obviously didn't get here till late afternoon almost early evening we'll put a steak on there but I'm gonna heat the grill up first that's is the way so peaceful you do say what here cuz this woodland being a coniferous woodlands is actually a bit devoid of fauna really there's not much kind of wildlife around there's birds at the moment but that's because we're springtime it's you know it's their sort of nesting time we're right on their nesting time what you do get is deer I get quite a lot of deer fallow deer here I've seen some massive fallow deer caught them on the trail cam which I haven't bought for a while here and also roe deer there's an albino roe deer which is really quite rare oh she's hot yeah there's an hour be no Road deer around which I've not seen for a long long time but I'm gonna pause on that guys cuz my steak is looking good a little bit too much but she could get my head touch out in a minute I got a new camera light which as you can see it's pretty bright and working well this looking very good I bring steak a lot because it's it's simple to you to cook guys I know it's repetitive but in the videos but it's very basis it was good a slightly more well-done and I prefer a bit more medium-rare that one but I'm not complain yeah good fake was lovely very nice I'm on summer Jenny Spears still subscriber Jenny still working away Jenny beaver town and neck oil session IPA nice and hoppy there's nine o'clock now it's not pitch black but the birds the little birds have stopped singing which is generally a sign of the night time for me so the Owls we usually come in the next and this will run there about an hour and a half 9:30 10 o'clock the air the Owls and this lovely here and then swooped in through these hid you can you can hear them sweeping through the forest as they call out yeah and then throughout the night I do hear noises generally probably foxes small small mammals foxes deer it's fairly devoid of life at the moment the woodland but yeah happy with my set up with the tent happy with the fire I don't need it heat at all which is why I put it quite far from the tent itself because I'm fairly warm in it I'm in a wool shirt and I've got it almost pretty much winter gear in there so I don't need the fire for warmth it's just nice to have one life is very good at the moment

the views everything's going super well the channel was growing really fast thanks to you guys to subscribe me and yeah it's all it's all the last few months have been crazy busy but crazy busy in a good way my Instagram is is doing super well it's growing so fast I think I'm on like ninety five thousand subscribe followers on Instagram and I think when I hit a hundred thousand I'm gonna do a giveaway and but it's not rather than be something like a new some new gear I'm getting I'm gonna give away something that I've used in the videos so just part of my gear I'm not sure what it's gonna be yet but I've definitely gonna do a giveaway on Instagram when I hit hundreds a hundred thousand followers say if you guys are not following me on Instagram get over there ta outdoor official and yeah hopefully you might be able to win something I'm looking forward to hitting that milestone it's been been fun I like the platform and obviously yeah the YouTube coming up be nice to get half a million this year 500,000 subscribers that would be super cool this time last year I wasn't even on 100,000 yet so it's cool things things are going really well thank you guys just staring at the fire as he did I'm also gonna be doing some other noises with Jax scene he's not done at all overnight or in the woods with me yet so I wanted to wait until he was about two years old so he was he's used to the outdoors and he's better trained and things like that so yeah hoping to bring him more on overnighters with me so that should be really cool at something other new dimensions in the videos anyway and I'm sure he'll love it it'll probably be fairly worrying on the first one just always you know I'll probably camp by close to home just in case things go wrong and that way I can get him back home if I need to have things did go wrong and then if he really enjoys it and we get on well out here and it goes well and smoothly then yeah I'll get I'll be doing some more with him

that's the outside is saying about bang on time told you I hope you guys heard that the house bang on 20 past nine I said that about half nine they come on in this waddle in the house so acting like this I said it before nice and small pull it up and that is the candle head there that's how much is left of the candle there's a spring underneath which pushes the candle up so it always stays the same height mmm you can then slide the glass down a little bit fiddly but like that that's a glass slip down which gives you access to the wick which you light like that and then you simply slide the glass up which controls the flame keeps it all consistent make sure it's level and then if I turn that down and there is a nice ambient light with what's left of the candle there I think these are like nine-hour burns these ones so I'm still going strong it's got a little clip there I love it it's just this bit all stays cold at the bottom as well this top plate gets very hot at the plate just their back it's very hot cuz that's where the candle obviously the heat goes but just a great little thing to know that's cool there's a bit of paracord here which is comes off the Levu anyway thanks my candle pretty nicely a little bit close to my face but you know this is my friend and steel kit where I keep my Finn steel a little bit jute twine in there as well which I put my fire pouch fire-lighting pouch what done is got some bicycle kind of inner tube here put it around and that stores my lighter on top just so you can see so that's kind of my I always have a lighter with me guys just in case it'd be stupid to not have a lighter with you so that's that's Flint and still fire lighting and then in that this is Mike this was my recent pouch that I unboxed by Brian

my friend Brian at journey man handcraft he sent me these so that's this is my fire pouch and in this I have this little kind of hessian sack which is full of my shirt some limpets shells for the bow drill as a bearing block to hold on and some Flint so I keep the Flint in there because it bounces around a lot if it's loose so keep that in that little pouch there I then if the other part of this pouch has my Flint striker the one I forged with Alec a bit of an Alex still overnight of this all the gear I've got from Alec so flint striker that goes in

pedro stuff and flint and then my fire kit another Flint striker a bit more jute twine in there as well as natural tinder and that all sits in this pouch to see ice know what I store in there that's the fire pouch the other pouch which is slightly bigger which Brian Brian gave me stores all my paracord some Hanks of paracord and also my axe leap which I wear on my belt when I'm walking around a lot about sweat just thought I'd show you guys those also in addition I carry the reason I carry bigger bag sometimes guys as I do have lenses camera get a lot of camera get I take and I'll do a video on it some point cuz I'd be a lot of camera gear so there's a bigger lens which I take again I put my lenses in bubble wrap because it's gonna get bashed around in the bag inevitably so it's handy to just wrap them in bubble wrap so don't get framed about as much another lens there as well this has two extra lenses on top of the lens that is on the camera here and microphone the light there's a lot of it you'll only understand really if you if you happy if you film if you go camping and film at the same time there's a lot of extra gear that is brought this trips or nearly forgot my beer get a lot of questions about water and what do I do for water so oh I just definitely swallowed a bug yeah so good question to those that asked I take with me this is I think 750 milliliters the black bee osprey Pat 58 basically the British army issue water bottle I take this with me John Lucas it's lighter than then taking another stainless steel cup but I also have a liter stainless steel liter cup with a nesting cup as well so sorry stainless steel bottle so I said what a litre and 3/4 almost of water that's what I take for my overnighters generally just because I'm doing a lot of soaring work and you know I did get quite thirsty it's always good to stay hydrated on the longer trips where I'm doing multiple day ones generally I'll try and find a water source and boil it up or I will have a bladder a hydration bladder in the backpack which again I don't show all the time but um things like my mountain trip when I did my three day five day was it Mountain trip at kora moment now for five day I think it was five days I'll put a link to it somewhere up here that um I had the hydration bladder and I filled that up that hydration bladder up via boiling water from streams and rivers and things like that where I am here at the moment which is the South of England the particular woodland that I'm in there is no freshwater source so I have to bring what I can and that's it there's no fresh water source nearby at all for miles so yeah that's the answering your questions for those about the water situation and what I do I'll always research an area if it's a new area or always research to see if there's a river nearby just to make sure the problem we have with the UK is there's so much farming and agricultural land going around in the rivers that the chemicals could get into that water quite easily and even boiling it and stuff like that I do have concerns as to those chemicals going in in my body so always aware of it but one of the other things that I keep in my backpack which I net I think I've ever shown in a video before by bring it with me all the time and I often do use it and that is my journal my bushcraft journal or yeah it's a journal really I use as a kind of source for recording information and things that I learned from nature and I also use it as a diary where I write on overnighters mostly like this where I just write my feelings and things like that which I don't show on camera at all but I just I keep it and I write in it mmm

this is this is my bushcraft Journal here leather one little kind of ship's wheel there I'm an anchor I liked it because it was a fishing heat style one only small it's got that sort of yellow parchment paper I think I got this on mine summer I can't remember now I've had it quite a few years but I'll show you how you can make you can make your own one of these much more basic rudimentary one but I'll show you how you can make one at some point but I'll I won't go into the private stuff in here but I'll show you like a few things that I do say things like that you can see that like pot hanger setups that I've kind of put in my mind and learn over time and put these in the book and just put a little description about the pot hanger setup and how to set it up diagrams as well I like the old parchment paper here but it is difficult to write in pencil so you need one of those special RT pencils so I go over it and pens sometimes and then what else have we got my cookin creme the bushcraft cam that's how I'd that was how I set it up that's that's kind of this is you can tell how old this is but yeah that was my cooking crane at the bushcraft camp and just what a little diagram to remind me how I did it again if you wanna watch that scene camp update seven or something like that that one's been done in pencils you can't really see it that's one of my top setups the low top the Stealth top pro for one and then yeah towards the back is towards the back is more of my journal stuff which is the private private things that go on in life but yeah so that's just my bushcraft Journal that's an extra thing that I take with me I highly recommend you guys if you do have if you don't have a journal I highly recommend taking one even if it's just a notepad you know tape on with you and your camping expedition it's because there's always something you can write and it gives you things to do at night and especially in the winter when it's when it's kind of dark at 4 o'clock I'm here in the particularly part the northern hemisphere that I'm in it's dark at 4 o'clock in the winter definitely get a journal or a book or something and have a read because it's great to be able to get your feelings down even if you have found like a plant or or like a insect or something like that and you remember it in your mind just draw it out sketch it out and then go back home and you can learn about that later how's the old lignin steel this is one of my favorite projects that I made with Alex teal look how that lignum vitae lignum vitae scales have punched out now they're nothing like the handles when I first finished it with Alec completely changed the color really cool you can see I've battered the knife it's had some good use big old saber grind on it it needs a sharpen it needs a sharpen it's 10:30 and I want to call it a night b-boy it's warm

it's really warm is it bad I don't need a wee I usually need a wee by now slightly concerned but I'm not going I'm gonna hold it and probably regret it and want to go in the night rather than bring a pillow with me I've got my jacket that was wearing out here rolled it into a ball oh so cozy enough chatting from me guys I will see you in the morning

good morning I think it's six o'clock quarter six now add a little bit of rain in the night not much like showers like showers

I carve a pouch and I always keep my hat on Quora months cold days and it is cold today

I didn't actually bring any breakfast this morning because I knew I need to get up and go so I'm using some tea five percent thank you to the subscriber I don't have tea in a while out in the woods CJD coffee makes a nice change 7c I'm just packing the gear away as I'm doing this

everybody had a small fire at least yet now the water's boiling made a little simple pot hanger just there like a beak not beat notch use the little fork and a stick flatten that off on that support stick and that just hang hung there like that with there the bottle hanger there that's just how it bored the water because they wouldn't have boiled straight away on the flames like that on the coals sorry there was no coals say making you to that early flame like I say guys make use of the early flame there we go all my tears brewery I'm just gonna just gonna pack the tent away and basically leave no traces they say so I'm gonna undo the tripod take the tree roots off the tripod place them on the ground place the stick to the tripod just out in the woods as I found them really not leaving the construction up roll up the ground sheet now the tent I'll have to take this tent out when I get home because it's been wet but basically what I do best way to pack away any tenders pull it all out stretch it out so you can get the shape of it which is that and then I have it on itself

again put that all the creases get rid of any muck on the top especially if it's wet it's gonna cause the malt and then you see that fold in half again just mirroring itself basically fold fold the end in first then hold any sides in so that its squared off

good thing about canvas it does compress although it's heavy it doesn't retain the air like ten foot stopping not at the end or a jam not then a slipknot do a Canadian Jam not if you want done that earlier wrap that around since you know my site

and I wrap it on itself and this is where I create my handle loop so did that come back on itself almost at the top

and it's just the case of making a quick release leap

that's my carry handle which I used obviously to hold the tent up as well on the tripod
