thanx for putting this vidio up on here i have bin trying 2 gain permition 4 ages hopefully your advice will go a long way, jus 1thing tho wen i go out i go 2 catch food an gather food, i only use spring traps and snares that i make my self while out there but i dont think i would get permition 4that would i? is there any advice u could give me on that??

I fear that in America, people in the rural may shoot us. They make it very obvious that they don’t want anyone on their land.

If you watch movies like Dilervence and Hills Have Eyes, I would say it approximates American rural mentality.

hey sean great vid

was jsut woundering, why is it dangerous to collect firewood in that dark? (were all still learning eh)

There are too many trip hazzards in the dark. You could also walk into branches and stab your self in the eye. You may pick up sticks that have woodants running over them and get bitten. There are lots of hazzards from trips, cuts, and bites. I always clooect my materials whilst I have day light and its what I teach to groups.

I believe snaring is legal in the UK but its not something I have done. If yuo contact Malc, at johnjayrambo11111, he specializes in traps and he will be able to help you.

I really enjoy your videos but they are always so quiet

outstanding info, good to build a repore with a land owner even if you get the brush off first time around, keep it up

and its primarily due to the fact that these ppl i mention are the ones responsible for the lost rights of ranchers and landowners -ignorant enviro-conserv-i-love-an-owl-thats-almost-extinct bleeding hearts. they have imposed government rule on ppl like me, without regard to our families, ranching operations, or the future of america. i cant kill the mountain lions or wolves that threaten my stock, and my wallet, and your food supply.

@nvydvr81

You proved me wrong. Redneck, gun towing, slave driving land owners are very generous and community minded.

Nice. This is going to sound stupid, but I’ve never even thought to seek out permission from private land-owners. I’ve been relying on the Park systems in my state, enjoying myself, however wishing that I was away from the campground, where all the noisy people are playing ball, getting drunk, and blaring bad music. Thanks for the bit of common sense that I somehow completely overlooked. I’ll be checking the maps soon!

Very good advice! You have covered pretty much all angles! There arnt alot of videos with this info!

You been playing Red Dead Redemption too much

@reingo73 I think the berries taste really nice! Similar to Strawberry jelly! But each to their own! Well played on the comment about them being edible tho.

Thanks so much Sean for this posting. I will now go-about trying to find legitimate woodland areas to camp and practice my crafts and skills in.
For the past 15 years I’ve been camping on ‘Crown Estate’ The Queens private land!! But if anything, it has build up my ability to be covert and leave no trace!

I’ve got alot of respect for you man.

@BushcraftOllie Thanks

Offering to pay the farmer for the use of the wood will help. Saving up some money and buying a piece of woodland would be the best thing to do.

I am trying to help 3 women who were made homeless by rare mudslides in Teresopolis, Brazil last January. They have been staying at a church, but now the church is no longer serving food(rice and beans). They are now moving into the surrounding woods. It is not for fun. It is for basic survival. I have sent them some of your videos, and I hope they are better able to survive until some government anti-poverty programs are funded in January. I have been homeless myself. I love woods!

I grew up on a large farm with 135acres of woodland. People approached my father about camping in the woods. He agrees and we forgot about them. A few months later while I was walking my dog in the woods I found their camp and it was littered with trash and 5 trees were cut. They agrees to only cut branches Nd pick up tinder from the groud for fire. Moral is that a lot of people will refuse this if they don’t know you but you offer good suggestions on how to win them over in the end.

@springfield03sniper This really annoys me. There are hundreds of people out there who would love the opportunity to use such land and would respect the area and leave no trace. Unfortunately what you experienced is all too common and that’s why people like my self go out and clear up after them.

@genetrumbo You from Brazil? Where do they have a DVD player? Sounds like a scam.

@genetrumbo don’t mean to sound uncaring, just if you don’t actually know these people and it’s only internet communication then I wouldn’t believe a word of it.

all land is mine.. period. I dont need permission because no one can produce a reciept from mother nature. if you cant understand this simple fact.. then we are at WAR. I dont ask permission, mother nature already told me all land is mine to share with respect.. anyone that hoards and believes they have some special inherint right to land is my enemy. i will camping in your dads woods.. and im not going to ask him

I have 15 to 20 scotch pine growing here because they were free from a christmas tree farm. The problem with them is that the bugs will kill them off when they get larger than 25 feet tall. It takes about 2 years, first you see the needles will turn an off color of green. Then they will slowly yellow until it is all brown. The wood pecker birds will show you which ones are about to die off.

I gain permission from property owners to fish their ground. I have found that farmers get more friendly if they know you will share some fish you caught. I bring some ready to cook fish along when asking permission. If I see anything dramatic while on their ground I take a picture and print frame it. I even volunteer labor when they need it.
