4 days with rain and sun under a canvas tarp. Collecting wild berries and mushrooms, carving a eating spoon, cooking meat and bread etc. Open the full video description for more information. ---------------------------- Date: September 2024 Day: 20°C (68°F) Night: 10°C (50°F) Hours of daylight = 14 Location: Scandinavia, west coast of Denmark - sea, spruce/pine and hardwood forrest. Some of the most remote in Denmark, but limited how remote it can get. A lot of birds and deers etc. No bears, only a few wolves. You need to be the owner or get the owners permission if you want to do similar in Denmark. _________________ Consuming: Water, coffee, pine tea, flank steak, soup (onions, potato, garlic, bacon, chanterelle), bread, oatmeal with blueberries. _________________ A few questions: 1. Who made the tarp? The tarp is made by Tschum in Germany. 2. What did you use for making fire? Fatwood (dead pine wood full of resin) and ferro rod. 3. What type of axe are you using? A classic russian axe design. Homemade - C45 steel, sheath and handle made from ash. 4. What type of knife are you using? A classic nordic knife, offen referred to by the finnish name “Puukko“. Homemade - spring steel and birch burl handle. Here is how I made it 5. Why make the wall next to the fire? Protects the fire from wind and reflects some heat. It is offen referred to as a “fire reflector“. Can also just make a camp more cosy - giving a feeling of space, a place to hang things and the wall brighten up from the campfire light doing night etc. 6. How long does it take to cook a steak on the coals like that? 3-10 minutes. 7. How long does it take to cook bread on the coals like that? 5-10 minutes. 8. Why do you sometimes hit with the side of the axe instead of the poll? Keeps the cutting edge away from your face and the larger surface area makes you less likely to miss. I usually use the side of the axe in the beginning (when things can be unstable and or I don’t need to hit hard). 9. What is you’re kuksa/drinking cop made from? Birch burl. Homemade. 10. Can I buy an axe, knife etc. from you? No. 11. Who made the cooking pot? It is a modified 2L Pathfinder Bushpot. Only the handle is homemade. 12. Do you hunt? No - all food was bought in a local store before the trip. I only fish. 13. Any ticks in Denmark? Yes - but I am lucky that ticks don’t like me... so no problem for me. 14. Who made the wooden bowl? Homemade - I made it in this video 15. What was the gray you added in the pot before the flower then making the dough? Yeast. 16. Why add the mos on the table? Keeps the branches/sticks in place, prevents things falling though the gabs in-between the branches/sticks and evens out hight and low spots. 17. What do you do for a living? For a living do I sometimes make axes and sometimes youtube. 18. Will you make more blacksmithing videos? Yes - but first will I be traveling for a few months making bushcraft. 19. What if I want to do similar bushcraft but it is illegal on public land in my country? No problem - It is the case in most of the world including here in Denmark. You have a few options. 1. Ask land owners for permission. Use you’re network - friends and family. Most knows somebody who knows somebody who owns land. Maybe offering money or a helping hand with something. 2. Consider trying to save up money to buy you’re own land - even a tiny piece of land can offer a lot of bushcraft freedom. 3. Look up the laws for public land in you’re area and read the actual law text... Maybe you have some options you didn’t know. No matter what, accept the laws and just make the best out of what you are allowed to do. 4. Travel to other contries with different laws for the wilderness experience. I personally do all 4 options. 20. What if I have a question that is not included in this video description? Consider leaving a comment - I usually read all comments made within the first few days of a new uploade. If I don’t see it - maybe someone else knows and is kind to answer. _________________ Some of the gear used in the video: Tarp = Tschum Cuting tools = homemade Boots = Lundhags Forest Pants = Klättermusen Gere 02 Hoodie = Unknown Backpack = Eberlestock Mainframe f1 Sleeping bag = Carinthia Defence 4 Sharpening stone = Gränsfors Bruks Cooking pot = Pathfinder Bushpot 2L _________________ Video gear: Nikon D7000 Nikon 35mm 1.8 DX Røde videomic NTG iMovie
