I've been involved in minimalist bushcraft for a long time,I take from both genres,...

Kent Survival
Blackcountry woodsman,,if he's still going
English woodsman
Summit or nothing
TA outdoors
Richard outdoors
Wiltshire man
Off the Beaten Pot
Paul Bisseker
Graziano outdoors
Hippyswift..
Haze outdoors..
Tom outdoors
Londoner outdoors..

Just a few I watch,...

I mostly learn on my own,my own terms..

BTW,I've mentioned about the correlation tween the two many times.

Leave,no trace..thats all people need to know

Simon makes amazing stuff,Baker tents you would like for carpfishing..

I get asked all the time to do collabs on Trangia cooking, I won't do it on YouTube, asit overexposed many beautiful areas,especially down here..in the quest for subscriptions,..

I like how he put a swag set up straight into a Brandit aviator rucksack..

Literally two mins and you have a full on survival system.

I've said many times,if angling was not embedded in my soul,I'd be doing more covert camping on wayside,ditches,in the summer,woodland,on the cliffs 500 ft above sea level..

BTW,the joke is atm ,it's £39 to 'wild camping the nearby farm,I do the same in the woods,leave no trace,gone...no one would ever know..

And yes,I have been caught,but a faux polish,lithuanin accent works wonders..

I know what you mean...I'm not bothered about where I go ,etc,the only thing that's a concern,and I'm far ,far away from being a wimpeth and that is ticks,where there is an overt population of deer,damp woods etc..

Ticks..,ticks..mmm,got my first one in 51 yrs not long ago..

Sean,have a look at the lixada stick stove you can fit a titanium tatonka ,or trangia burner in it as secondary fuel option..and the uco mini grill,fire pit,it won't burn the ground...no trace etc

Me too, in fact for curiosity I've just weighed three items I don't really need when doing quick over-nighters, and the alternatives I use.

Bed Chair = 10.45kg – using a Roll Mat instead = 212g
Bivvy = 9.90kg – using a Mil-Tec 2 man Dome instead = 1.8kg
Big Sleeping Bag = 3.43kg – using a “Selk” Type Sleeping Bag = 1.9kg

I've not only made a 19.86kg weight saving, I don't even need to use a Barrow anymore – in fact I only need to take two items: Bergan with tackle, bait, Trangia Cooking Gear and a Unhooking Roll Mat on top, and a Korum Transition Quiver with 3 x Rods, Landing Net, Mil-Tec Dome and Roll Mat in it.

A poncho tarp
