Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc

Thank you for this detailed description and demonstration of how to make a "cowboy bedroll." I saw this method 50 years ago in a Boy Scout Handbook and have searched high and low trying to find how it is done. Finally, 5 decades later and I come across your channel....Thank you so very much.

I really like this fellow. My grandfather was a real cowboy long ago. He would show us bush craft. This fellow reminded me alot of him and his gentle soft spoken way.
-
Probably the most honest video regarding this type of sleep system I've seen...thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us.

"I froze." I had a good chuckle at that. Thanks for yet another informative video.

I've used a reasonably light sleeping bag...(30 degrees F.) With a good oil tarp and air mattress on the ground out in the open and woke up to 2 feet of fresh snow on top...it was -10 and I was COMFORTABLE !! My Dad taught me to sleep this way 70 years ago...his Dad taught him...Grandpa was born in 1867 and this manner of sleeping and covering up WORKS! Listen to this man!!🤗😎

A 10 x 10 16 oz tarpaulin (18 oz after waterproof treatment) weighs 13 lbs. The average wool blanket weighs 4 lbs. This is a fantastic idea for sleeping, and eliminates the necessity of a conventional shelter...until you can erect a better setup. Edit: And it seems I made this exact same comment eight months ago. I didn't see it, or I'd have not bothered commenting again.

The diagonal trick for the blanket is appreciated. Reminds me of how we swaddled our kids when they were babies.

Bushcraft in in it's most rawest form

How they don't have you doing voice overs is beyond me! You are a gem Lonnie!

When I was homeless I found milk crates to keep me off the ground by making a platform . One night I woke up with ice blocks for feet and I needed to pee. I peed into a milk jug and used it as a hot water bottle, worked great. You have to be able to extricate yourself pretty quick though. Do not use trash bags as they hold moisture in and eventually the condensation freezes and you get wet .

Thomas Early started a weaving apprenticeship in 1669, he inherited the company in 1711/12(the start of the Early Whitney blanket company) The Hudsons Bay Company partners did their first trading in about 1663 and where incorporated in 1670, well before 1711. Great bedroll by the way!

I like your wrap idea. I was camping 8000 feet above Atemajac de Brizuela, Mexico last month, didn't bother setting up a tent, and around 2am with the winds howling up the mountain, I realized my NorthFace Cat's Meow mummy bag, rated at 22 degrees F, was not sufficient. I was cold, the fire was about out and I didn't want to get up and stoke it again. I had one wool medium blanket with me as a back up, so I laid it out, placed my mummy bag on the edge of it, climbed in the bag, grabbed the edge of the wool blanket next to me and rolled myself and the mummy bag up in the wool blanket like a hand rolled cigarette... or what ever else you like to hand roll. I was warm and all was well till I had to go pee at around 5am. Had to inch worm myself out of the top of the blanket and bag. My Euro Boxer pup climbed in the bag while I was busy taking care of business, and feeling sorry for my faithful buddy, I let him stay put,and stoked up the fire and started a pot of coffee. Wool blankets may not be enough used alone, but they supplement nicely, if you know how to roll one. Brum
