Bushcraft Girl's permanent camp - made ready for winter

[susannewilliams]

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...

The polar poncho tent. 2 Polish ponchos, 2 soviet palash palatkas...

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

Because the weather does sometimes get wild around here... (2-3meters of snow. -25 to -30c)

We have a bail-out plan

This hillside is settled

One word....... heaven

Great camp,,, thanks for sharing.

When I see these permanent camps, it makes me want to bodge one up in the woods on my back-60.

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.

Go for it.

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..

And that's why I'm moving out of the UK to wherever I can buy a nice plot like that! once I've made my millions first *evil laughs*

Very nice camp!

Looks great, makes me wanna pop round with a tarp and a bivvy and pull up a log

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

 

[swotty]

Cracking stuff....I'm very envious

 

[treadlightly]

Looks really good Suzanne. Tipis are very stable through winter and those steep sides will shed snow easily.

Jealousy is an evil thing lol, great pics and location, thanks for sharing.

Wow! I'm going to do something like this one day

 

[quietone]

Oh that's just idyllic. You're a lucky lady, but I think you've earned that privilege by your endeavours. Very well done.

 

[susannewilliams]

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....

 

[susannewilliams]

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

Not teasing...

I mean whatever you wear/use outdoors in the UK in the winter....
