3 nights under a canvas tarp in the forrest and one night under the stars on a beach. Collecting mushrooms, carving a cooking 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. _________________ Consuming: Water, coffee, fish (salmon), steak (pork), soup (onions, potato, garlic, bacon, chanterelle), bread. _________________ A few questions: 1. Who made the tarp? Tschum in Germany. I am using an early prototype - here is the final version 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 use wood between the cord and tree (for setting up the tarp)? Protects the tree. A canvas tarp is heavy and regular cord (like I am using in the video) will cut into the bark and no guarantee the tree will recover. 6. How long does it take to cook a steak over a fire like that? 2-3 hours. 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 is from a local store. 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. Who made the eating spoon? Homemade - I made it in this video 16. What was the gray you added in the pot before the flower then making the dough? Yeast. 17. What do you do for a living? Sometimes blacksmithing and sometimes youtube. 18. Will you make more blacksmithing videos? Yes - but first will I be traveling for a few months making bushcraft. 19. Why did you're old cooking spoon brake? Not sure - maybe I stepped on it or packed it poorly in the backpack. It lasted two years. 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. After the first few days do I update the video description with answer to some of the most asked questions. _________________ 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 Raindeer skin = unknown, from Sapmi _________________ Video gear: Nikon D7000 Nikon 35mm 1.8 DX Nikon 300mm 4.5 Røde videomic NTG Macbook 2011 iMovie
