In the Bush #37 Platform Tent Camping

When I was in scouts I was notorious for choosing bad tent locations. Just ask my friend Jason. My tent would always fill with water or wash into a ravine. I always dreamed of setting up on a plywood platform, high and dry. Finally 20 years later, my dream is realized...

As a former Boy Scout, and Eagle Scout for life, I decided I needed to brush up on my self-reliance and outdoor skills. So in January of 2021 I began hiking out into my woods, building fires, shelters, cooking, and doing other bush activities. I decided for my own benefit I would film and catalog these trips, and track my progress along the way. What you are witnessing is is real, unscripted footage from these trips. Numbered from the very first time in the bush since my days of scouting. You are watching me learn in real time.

In this video series you will see me learning and enjoying nature in various forms including bushcrafting, campfire cooking, fishing, hunting and foraging. In many videos you will be invited along for the journey as I camp in every possible environment from under the stars, to bushcraft shelters, to tent camping and even some vanping in my van and luxury camping in campers.
