Got caught in a crazy storm on the last days of my winter bushcraft camping trip. Storm Ciara had passed the previous week or so. I was eager to get out but little did I know storm Dennis was on its way. When the storm arrived, I was already deep in the forest off trail for 2 days with lots of rain but no crazy winds. I opted to set my second camp on a raised part of a lake. No trees windward from me, just water, but also no shelter from the 70 mph winds (110 km/h). With the conical shape of my shelter and past experiences with my bigger tipi tent in previous storms, I felt optimistic that it would be ok in the wind.
First night of the storm I skipped dinner and held tight waiting for the worst part of it to pass. I had my stove with me and decided to put it to the test anyway, hoping the thing wouldn't fill the shelter with smoke or break. Impressively it did not, it kept me warm and cozy inside while the madness was picking up strength outside, the worst of it during the night. Crazy experience, but I must say I enjoyed it tremendously. The next day was spent gathering wood and cooking some nice food even though the storm was still lingering. New videos every week, thanks for watching! - Ric

OBS: If you want to practice unnecessary high impact bushcraft activities like shelter / fort building, cut living or dead standing trees, damage the nature in any form in Scandinavia, you need to have Landowner permission or own the land. Always observe local fire prohibitions and forecasts to prevent forest fires. Finally, don’t be a twat, always be respectful of the forest and it’s inhabitants, leave no trace.

Why don't you hunt your own food?

and hunt if I really need to. But not for a youtube video.

    It's funny, when I first started watching this video I got a little annoyed because the guy wasn't talking. But as I sat and watched I felt myself slowly surrender to the sounds of nature. And by the end of the video I felt so calm and peaceful that I didn't want it to end. I realized just how noisy my daily life can be and how we humans never stop thinking and talking! - I looked over at my cat and he was just sitting there too. Not talking, not worrying, nothing, just 'being'.... I learned something about myself tonight. Wonder if anybody else felt this way. - Peace, and thank you for this wonderfully artful video. Well done. :)

    Hard to believe that such a man has truly departed from this world so soon. But he is forever immortalized through his love and work of bushcraft as he demonstrates it in these videos. Always there. Never forgotten. Traveling far but close by.
  • The painting actually blow my mind, wasn’t expecting that. That’s nice
  • The quality and realism of that painting blew me away. Just the painting alone could have made a good YouTube episode.

    People who watched man vs wld in their childhood are now watching bushcraft camping videos 😂
  • As a 75 year old who lost her Marine 11 years ago, I watch because this whole video reminds me of him. Watch any similar.

    In 2018 I was bored with daily life. I bought a bicycle and tent, put in in a box, and flew from the UK to New York. Over the next 100 days, I cycled across the United States where I wild camped all along the way. Honestly, just sitting in the tent, at night, all alone with the cayotes howling around me, listening to the peace, it is to this day the greatest experience I have ever felt. We all need nature.

    When I was depressed I would watch Naguelero and it would be very comforting and calming; he became a "friend" RIP friend.
  • @Blake-W8LB
    Ric, I know you did t think you’d have this kind of impact on people but I still find so much peace in your videos. We miss you sir, rest well..
  • @TheEpiton
    I imagine that he put a lot of effort to make this film during his journey. And the sound is great. Thanks to no BGM.
  • @NKdidit.24
    Its so nice to take a break from people thinking they need to constantly talk. Just listening to nature is so calming and peaceful. Too much unnecessary noise around us daily
  • @randywillis979
    Brother Ric Nagualero, sure am going to miss you. Even though I can't venture into the woods like I used to.. I always resorted to your channel and some how I could escape the pressurized life and problems as if it was me instead of you doing all the camping and outdoor cooking. Thanks for your love of the wild and solitude.. the deep woods and nature is REALLY going to miss you! Randy Willis / USA
  • When you were painting I thought it was going to be like a little something but it was just amazing
  • @SamHeaton264
    This bloke went camping for 4 days on his own in the wilderness, painted a masterpiece, made some kebab skewers and spitroasted a chicken. That's a level of manliness one can only aspire to.
  • @stoutkm
    I know God has a special camping spot just for you Ric. Rest in Peace my friend.
