I head off into the woods for an overnight solo camping trip using my military poncho tent or Polish Lavvu as it is known as. This small canvas tent is great for camping in all conditions. I usually set the tent up with a centre pole made from a stick, however, this time I do it differently. Using some Primitive Bushcraft, I dig for tree roots and use these as natural cordage to tie together a tripod which supports the tent from the top and eliminates the need for a centre pole. This gives me much more room in the tent for my sleeping pad and backpack gear etc. I gather some firewood, light a fire and cook up a steak on the grill over the camp fire. I then talk about some of the gear that I use. The forest is so silent at night, it was eerily quiet, until the owls started hooting later in the evening. Listening to nature asmr was a great way for me to fall asleep. The following morning, I got the fire going again with some feather sticks and a ferro rod. Using some more Bushcraft and natural materials, I made a pot hanger to make a tea over the fire, before I packed up the camping gear and went back home. Thanks for joining me on the adventure! – Mike
