  When you go far into the forest, when your phone is silent, it does not catch the signal, and the sleeping bag on the foam replaces your favorite bed! When your dinner is boiling in a black pot on a hot fire, and all your clothes are soaked through with smoke. You forget about all your problems, they simply do not exist, there is you and the silence of the forest! The silence from which is muffling. Your senses sharpen as you hear the wind, the rustle of grass, and leaves. The creaking of the trunks. At this moment, you feel that you are alive, you are alive now, you listen to your breath, your heart, Nothing can replace these feelings. You are cleansed of all that weighed on you yesterday. Just you and nature. And you&apos;re on your own. You&apos;re alive now, and that&apos;s all that matters. For this we go to the forest. To experience it, over and over again. Those who have experienced it will understand. Those who have not experienced it, still have everything ahead of them. Thank you for giving me this feeling. Thank you for making such content that attracts people to put on a backpack and go to wander along the forest path, your work makes people really happy. 👍My channel on You Tube is just starting to take shape. If you don&apos;t mind, please put a few likes and a couple of short comments.

  Good trick for better insulation, while still allowing ventilation for gas build up, is to pile leaves along the outside bottom of the tent, effectively &quot;sealing&quot; the tent base. The leaves will act as a barrier against wind and snow, while not blocking the transfer of fresh air. This will allow a smaller fire to maintain in the stove.<br><br>American Plains Indians, who used portable housing (the ubiquitous TeePee), piled dirt or sand around the base to fully seal off weather. An inner liner kept an open space between the tent wall, and the living area, creating a draft effect that kept stale air and smoke rising to the open vent in the top of structure. Fresh air was controlled by how open the access flap was kept. A small fire pit in the center radiated heat to keep the TeePee warm, and also created the upward draft that kept the inner area smoke free.

  &quot;This ain&apos;t no light-weight backpacking trip. This is food and beer.&quot; I&apos;ll camp with you any time, mate.

  The moment he got the bowdrill to spark and lit the fire inside the canvas tent was incredibly satisfying — there’s something timeless about starting fire by hand in the snow that makes it feel like real mastery.

  You should do guided treks with one or two people. Really in depth info for the participants. I swear, people would pay you a fortune to spend 3-4 days with you and learn some skills

  МОГУ ПРЕДСТАВИТЬ СЕБЕ ТАКОЙ 3-Х ДНЕВНЫЙ ОТДЫХ В ПАЛАТКЕ ЗИМОЙ, ОСОБЕННО НОЧЬЮ, КОГДА ЗУБ НА ЗУБ НЕ ПОПАДАЕТ!

  I had to laugh about how England news media hypes up snow. New Jersey Delaware and Pennsylvania is the same way! Lol

  I do feel you with all the noise the media is makeing about the Beast from the East, and then 20 cm of snow. I&apos;m from eastern Europe, and nothing stops in the city or vilages even with 40 cm of snow. Nice video :)

  Great move posting the attempts that do not work. It shows that it&apos;s a practice and even you are still working on it. I think it is mostly about enjoying the attempts and the process.

  Goose Island, baby! &nbsp;They brew that right here in Chicago. That beer must have felt right at home in the cold and snow.
