Bushcraft Girl's permanent camp - made ready for winter

  • Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Starting to be proper now...view from our little bushcraft paradise in the back yard.

Getting ready for winter. You can see the pole frames for various winter shelters.

Polar poncho tent,, lavvu, and the huge tripod that we hang our parachute shelter in.

I will take the polar poncho tent to arctic Finland this winter....


Our camp is becoming proper...

You can also make a very small 2 man lavvu and then each person uses their palash palatka as a bivvy bag.

One word....... heaven

We call it "Bushcraft Paradise Jachenau".

It truly has it all.

3 years of trust building and proving myself to the landowner...in all seasons.

And it is ours to look after...

They come to feed and milk their cows in the winter at 06:00, and -20c and see me coming down the hill on my backcountry nordic skis with a pack and shovel... so yeah they ask me what I have been doing...and I tell them.

:)
 
Everything is there for a person in need.

Extra tarp, rubble bags for a mattress or insulation, frames for any kind of shelter, coffee (if you need it, you REALLY need it), maple syrup, a few potatoes, firewood, tinder,

I will add a camp knife and firesteel, as well as billy can on a chain - next time I go up..

That looks great, we were south of there last week, in Tires, Bolzano Italy.. We were seeing the cows heading down from the hills. Lots of walking

Oh that's just idyllic. You're a lucky lady, but I think you've earned that privilege by your endeavours. Very well done.
 
Thank you dudes. I am really glad you like it. You are most welcome to come out and play.

It is especially awesome in the winter......

Fly into MUC airport. We'll do the rest....

All specialist gear available on site.

Just bring your UK winter hoopla....
 
The awesome thing about the lavvu poles being left in place is that the shelter area gets smaller as the snow gets higher.

Less canvas to carry.
Smaller team anyway
Easier to heat..

And MAN the poles go all the way down to soil so just imagine how bomber that is......

We just leave the bare poles standing...

What is a UK winter hoopla? I don't think i have this as part of my kit. Newcastle to Munich is a doable trip, don't tease
