Asbjorn Olsen-Berg Bushcraft

For your convenience, I have combined all the videos on how I built a warm dugout shelter in 30 days into wild forest on a hillside and not far from the river. Now you have a unique opportunity to see the entire construction process in just 30 minutes. Series: S1 - Build of a Bushcraft DUGOUT - https://youtu.be/zwyZYf_awqc S2 - Making a Bushcraft DOOR from split LOGs - https://youtu.be/dF3EOUIz-hg S3 - Made a Stone FIREPLACE https://youtu.be/VRFx7a_UOHE 🌿 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asbjorn.olsen.berg/ 🌿 Telegram: https://t.me/asbjornolsenberg What was done: Dug a hole in the hillside; Prepared the fallen trunks of dead trees; Laid down the walls of the dugout and covered them with moss; Made a waterproof roof, filled it with sand and covered it with turf; Arranged a comfortable and reliable sunbed inside the dugout; Made boards by splitting logs and made a door with wooden dowels and a hanging table out of them; From stones dug out in the sand clay i built a large fireplace inside the dugout; Made a cool cellar with a stone floor; Crafted a flexible window; Made a stone floor into dugout shelter; For comfortable sleep, I made a pillow and mattress from moss and canvas bags. In general, a lot of work has been done and I am very glad that I managed to do everything. There were difficulties and mistakes in the process, but I got an interesting experience and a lot of positive emotions when everything worked out :) I get asked a lot of questions, I'll answer a few: - Isn't it damp in the dugout? Inside the logs are dry, water does not get on them. Apparently water flows down on turf quickly due to the large slope of the hill. - Is the roof leaking? I put a waterproof fabric on the roof. - Do round stones explode in the fireplace? Stones don't explode. I warmed up the fireplace very slowly and for a long time. Now there is no such danger. - Why is there a stone floor inside the dugout, and not a wooden one? The stone floor inside the dugout is made for fire safety. The coals from the fireplace sometimes shoot out and fall to the floor.

In this video you will see my 3 days solo bushcraft trip into the northern wilderness. I caught fish and cooked it over the fire in different ways. I did not catch large fish, I was content with what I had. I didn't stay hungry. I didn't take any other food with me. Traditionally, I made tea and carved a spoon (from juniper). I made tea using the gifts of nature (Chaga, Blueberry, Juniper). The video added comments on what exactly I did it from. To cut out the spoon, I used a new tool that a familiar blacksmith made for me. I was very pleased - it is convenient. As a shelter, I took a hammock with me, as well as a deer skin. The reindeer skin fit perfectly, like a bedding on a rock. Part of the night I slept on it by the fire. Thanks for watching!

In this outdoor adventure, I'm building an A-frame shelter in a wild northern forest on a shady hillside. From the water, I moved deeper into the forest so that there would not be many mosquitoes. In construction I use only hand tools: Silky Bigboy folding saw, adze, axe, 16 and 22 auger drills, Marttiini AAPA knife, WorkPro folding shovel. I use only fallen dead trees in construction. The foundation - are large stones and logs. Under the floor he pulled a membrane fabric. I did not come up with a natural material that can replace it. Any ideas? I fasten everything with wooden dowels. I make the roof waterproof, cover it with birch bark and turf. The place from which I took the turf was sown with grass and oat seeds so that there would be no traces left and perhaps the boars would eat oats. The roof was also sown with grass seeds to strengthen the turf. By the way, a burning kerosene lamp added heat quite well inside the shelter, it was much cooler outside. In the next adventures I want to remake the fireplace, make it safer and make a stone oven next to the shelter. Adding wooden fences around the camp (many wild boars and elks walk around). Make a table and a chair, make storage for firewood under the floor. Maybe I'll try to make doors-sashes. If you have any ideas what else can be added / improved - write in the comments :) Thanks for watching!

Almost a year has passed since I single-handedly built a dugout in a wild forest on a hillside. There were many reviews that if you do not use waterproof fabric for wall insulation, then everything will quickly fall off, be damp and moldy. The fireplace will crack and fall apart, the stones will burst... Now I was able to return to my dugout in the middle of a snowy forest and stay there for some wonderful and very comfortable winter nights. Nothing has rotted or collapsed over the past year, I did not find mold either. The fireplace was covered with small cracks, but this did not affect its stability. But the mice ate my linen bags, from which I made a mattress 😄 The rest is all right. I had firewood ready, which I used on the first day. After several hours of burning the fireplace, the temperature inside the dugout became very comfortable, the humidity decreased, and the wooden walls became warmer. I cooked a wonderful charcoal beef steak (very tasty, I tell you, a charcoal steak in a well-heated stone oven :) ) and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the wild forest burning in the fireplace. The second day passed unnoticed. I managed to prepare firewood for the following nights, slept well and tasted hearty buckwheat porridge with beef stew cooked in a steel army pot. Thank you for watching!

Survival at night in the snowy wild forest using only knife and deerskin. In this video I use bushcraft skills: - make bushcraft shelter from the wind from dry trees and spruce brances at the roots of a fallen tree, - brake the poles with my hands between two near trees, - make dense place made of spruce branches for a berth, -collect firewood and kindle a fire by friction. My equipment only is a knife and deerskin. Enjoy watching!

This video tells about a two-day winter bushcraft overnight stay in a lavvu shelter in a snowstorm without sleeping bag. As a flooring for the bed - spruce branches. The top is deerskin. On top is a wool blanket. The bonfire is a classic two-log Nodja. Smolders for a very long time and heats up well. Hot tea in a thermos to go, breakfast products - sausages, hard cheese and tomatoes. Enjoy watching!

In this video: 6 days alone in the wild Mediterranean forest, building the primitive bushcraft shelter. No talking, just nature sounds - ASMR. 🌿 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asbjorn.olsen.berg/ 🌿 Telegram: https://t.me/asbjornolsenberg So, for start, I found a flat glade near the sea and cleared it. There were many stones of different sizes and shapes around, which is not surprising - there are mountains around. Gradually, I began to build a wall behind my back and by the end of the day I was able to make a flat area for sleeping. If you think that these stones are light, then no :) They are very heavy. Laying stones is not difficult, but it takes much more time than I do. It will be cold to sleep on the stones, and I decided cover stones with pine needles, which were found nearby. This solved the problem with the unevenness of the stones and the cold from them. By the way, in the process, I realized that it was possible not to take either a saw or an ax with me. I decided that the my stone age shelter would consist of three walls and a roof of wooden branches. It rarely rains here, so the roof is collected only as protection from the sun. But the weather made its own adjustments. One day a strong wind began, the sky was covered with clouds and a storms began sea. I thought it was going to rain and hurried to cover the roof with bark I had collected from dead trees. However, I was not able to check such a roof rainproof or not - the rain passed by. The drinking water I brought with me ran out. In a crevice in the shadows of the mountains, I was able to find water. Small flow, small drops. But in a short time, a full pot was recruited. The water was odorless and without impurities - transparent. Probably, this is a mountain spring and the water could be drunk without boiling, but I boiled it. I found wild olives near the shelter and decided to try it. The result is clearly visible in the video. They were very bitter, I could not eat them. Once, at night, wild boars came, about 6-7 boars. I heard boars before, seen footprints and excrement, see dug up earth. They only came this close once. The boars were not aggressive and did not react to the light, they just went about their business. Gradually they disappeared into the thicket of the forest. But the next day I decided to make a wall of stones, so it would be calmer. After a few days, I figured out how to fish. Small but still a fish :) It turned out not to be poisonous. But the sharp spikes on the crest - unbearable pain if accidentally pricked. I put together a some stone oven, for a safe fire, because the surroundings are too dry and flammable. In this oven, I fried the fish I caught. The fish seemed to me very tasty and slightly sweet. Probably after I ate canned food. And one whole day I spent for a rest, swimming in the sea. I carved a bark totem and attached it to the wall of my stone age bushcraft shelter. It's time to pack up and leave this amazing place. Hope I come back here!
