I started this channel in 2018 and have really enjoyed documenting my experiences in the outdoors to share on UA-cam! I enjoy Hiking, Camping, Canoeing, and Bushcrafting. If you have watched one of my videos, commented, liked, shared, and/or subscribed then please know that I am grateful 🙏🏼
Urban Paddle: Crabtree Creek (Raleigh, NC)
I was a little nervous about this paddle due to the fact that Crabtree Creek floods a good bit and could present some real dangers if conditions were not just right. The creek level was just over the 6.5 ft. mark and I took a chance and it really paid off. This was a wonderful "micro-adventure" and I didn't have to drive far to make it happen. Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching! - Clint

Overnight in a Tipi-Tarp
Переглядів 5013 місяці тому
I had never tried my tarp in this configuration before. My thoughts are that it looks great but is only functional in really nice weather. The ground sheet is a plus but if it were raining much stronger than a drizzle - I think you'd get wet. I also attempted to cook over coals in the Bushbuddy stove but as you'll see that didn't go as planned either. Still, this was a nice outing and I was hap...
Victorinox RangerGrip 79 REVIEW

I've been looking for a knife that can fit in my pocket but still carry the punch of a hefty bushcraft knife, and I think I just might have found it! In this review I cover all of the functions of this Swiss army knife and put the blade and saw to the test. Hope this video is helpful to those considering making this purchase. Take care everyone! - Clint Subscribe to the channel & follow on: Ins...
Overnight in a Bivy
Переглядів 3984 місяці тому
Got a late start on this outing but maximized my time in the woods by keeping it simple! No tent, tarp, or fancy gear to mess with... just a bivy bag, air mattress and sleeping bag. Made a nice little campfire with some good food - it doesn't get much better than that! - Clint Subscribe to the channel & follow on: Instagram: explore_your_land Twitter: mobile. exploreyo...
Lunch in the Forest ~ Cooked over the Coals
Переглядів 2515 місяців тому
With only a few short hours of time off, I had just enough time to pack a bag and get into the woods to cook a lunch over the coals. Fried pork chop with onions, garlic, and mushrooms in the middle of a quiet forest was exactly what I needed to decompress! As always, thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next one real soon. - Clint Subscribe to the channel & follow on: Instagram: instagra...
Cold Plunge in the River
Переглядів 917 місяців тому
I hadn't done any kind of "polar plunge" since my college days so when the start of the new year rolled around I decided that this was a great opportunity to dunk in the river! The benefits of cold water therapy are well known but I don't think I'll be starting a regimen of plunging any time soon 🤣 Happy 2024 to everyone... I hope this is a good one for us all! Take care. - Clint Subscribe to t...
Paddling the Cape Fear River (NC)
Переглядів 9919 місяців тому
Nathan and I are back on another overnight canoe trip down the Cape Fear River in North Carolina. The class 1 and 2 rapids were pretty tame this go around since the water levels were low but we had a blast anyway. This trip is what I think the essence of this channel embodies: finding the adventure around you! Hope you enjoy - Clint Subscribe to the channel & follow on: Instagram: instagram.com...
3W Wood Stove MODIFICATION
Переглядів 40210 місяців тому
The Wild Wild West Titanium Wood Stove is a great piece of kit. It packs down nicely and works well... except for one piece - the chimney pipe connector. The connection is very loose and relies on a delicate balance with the tent stove jack. Since the chimney rests on the outside of the connector, moisture and creosote can run down the pipe, leak out, and burn on top of the stove creating smoke...
Canoe/Kayak Sail on Amazon

I was definitely skeptical but as long as it's anchored down well then this little sail really does the trick! And for only $18 (at the time of filming), you can't beat the price.

Nice! Thank you sir!
Nice, I am looking to build a greenhouse like this in back of my house ✊🏾 How many hours of sun does your greenhouse get? What side (N, E, S, W) of the house was it placed?
@@ghmichel72 I moved from this house over a year ago but best I can remember it was facing Southwest and would have gotten decent sun if it not for a large tree nearby. The spot wasn’t ideal but it was just about the only place available on the property. I think I started at 8am and finished maybe around 3:00pm. Good luck with your greenhouse! 💪🏽
Thank you!
Awesome video Man... Greatly appreciated!....wanna say thanks on ur kind words a while back...meant to reply and well u know how life can be....45 gotta hand it to ya for attempting a ground mat...ill be 42 this Friday and well ..i love my cot, more for base camping would hate to lug is around, my daughter juat bought a house in NC beautiful place...take care brother!!!🫡
You do not need to spend stupid money on a tent. I bought a cheap tent some 30 yrs ago and it didn't have today's tech and it still works. Crap poles etc. but was always great to sleep in. Any tent today from a place like MW will give you a good night's sleep. I agree on getting better pegs, to me pegs are like pedals on expensive bicycles - you get your own.
Awesome adventure and great video. I take the greenway often and never would have thought this was possible. Really enjoyed watching!
That thing is a noisy uncomfortable piece of crap.
@@johnsmith-oz5kj eh, to each his own. As a back sleeper I really like this pillow. Small & lightweight for the pack too.
Amazing. I've worked in Raleigh for 40 years, always near Crabtree Creek. Thanks for sharing. Very interesting!
I’m not trying to be critical but does that spot get enough light there?
Also thanks for sharing the experience and the product.
@@mrbogus2042 actually moved from this house in February of 2023 but best I remember it got about half a day’s worth of sun. Would have been more if it weren’t for the big tree near it (kind of behind the camera).
what a great trip, with the high water it gave it a real jungle feel, so nice its close by.
I think this was one of your best videos. You had me in suspense the whole time/video. I live in the Raleigh area, so yah urban paddling all the way. Great one day adventure ! ✌️
@@silverwolvesutility5219 thanks! I appreciate it
That was great fun! Thanks for taking us along!
Another fun adventurous video Clint! Waters offered some helpful rapids. Scary moment was the low bridge. Highlights include the make shift head covering, Dorito’s and sandwich lunch and the jumping frog. Coolest moment is the multi-level interstate directly above the serene appearance of the waterway and nature. Really enjoyed.
Wow I didn't realize Crabtree Creek got so rowdy! Looks like a fun time with just enough danger 😅
I would not have imagined you were that close to a highway like that!!! Great video!!
Hate to say it, when I hear "stealth camping" I think of someone who doesn't have a home to go to and doesn't want to be hassled.
Loved the video the instrumental was perfect also
So difficult to pop up
I would certainly add some sort of substantial water storage and purification tablets. Having redundancy is very helpful. 2 is 1. 1 is none. 😎
@@brucefluth3930 🫡 yessir, agreed
how does it hold up vs that metal tab there?
I use the metal tabs when camping the majority of the time but didn’t in this video so I could demonstrate the knot. Taut line might come in handy if those tabs broke or if you needed to tie on an extra guy line.
I wouldnt trust my life to his teachings that's for sure
Look at his ferro rod that's from uneven pressure and lack of knowledge on use
What size you wearing in this video?
Looks like it would be easier just to hold an umbrella to catch the wind lol
@@tylerjames1716 An umbrella works too. I have done it several times. The only issue is that the umbrella may break apart or pop inside out if the wind is blowing hard.
Pro tip: connect it to your PFD with a carabiner so you can adjust tension left or right, using your feet against foot stops or the sides, and your hands holding the paddle like a rudder, you can actually sail with what you have ;)
🤩🤩🤩
AWSOME VIDEO REVIEW !!!😂
Why on earth would you baton such a small log anyway? And why not at 90deg angle like one is supposed to do with all folders? Lastly, why baton in the first place?
Just wanted to see if the knife could do it. Good call on the 90 degree angle, definitely should have done that instead 👍🏼
@@ExploreYourLand Don't get me wrong, I love that knife, but I'm not in favour of batoning when used as a standard procedure. Under exceptional circumstances yes, but there are much better alternatives, such as using bigger more robust tools or wedges. Of course, my main question always is "Why?" Generally, there's usually more "small wood" lying around than thick logs! It's like using your knife spine to create sparks from a ferro rod and saying it is an indispensable feature of a good knife. One could use so many other items to do that! Thanks for replying. Much appreciated.
Epic trip! that day 2 morning was beautiful! An ultralight cast iron skillet, yes please!
Of course it works. Lol! I had one on an Intex Challenger inflatable kayak. It was a lot of fun. But I will buy a better one later as the cheap ones don't last.
Very informative and nicely presented and explained.
Thanks Rick! 🙏🏼
hi from France .I discovered the channel, superb videos on your channel, really, one more subscriber out of solidarity between nature lovers and UA-camrs🙂👍
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Where is this?
Located near Falls Lake in central NC
@@ExploreYourLand I've hiked the section of MST around Falls Lake. What a lovely area!
That's really awesome.... How long do they last, roughly???
I’ll give it a little test tomorrow and get back to you 🫡
Sorry for the delay… I just tested and got a really solid 50 minute burn before it put itself out
This video was perfect. It's one of the major factors I look for in outdoor videos. An honest review
nice setup! yeah those twigs stoves are real tricky to cook on :)
Maybe time for a hammock?! Fun little camp - love the bird sounds.
The hammock would have definitely been an improvement! 😂
great idea!
Cool!
Work on a bicycle to
😮
One of the best video which I ever seen ❤
Nice
battening with a liner lock might show the built quality but its not made to deal with such stress and it will break sooner or later.
You are fine to let the air in
Thank You. Information I needed to know with my compromised physique. If/when I get back hiking, I'll need an easier hike.
🤤
That is pretty sweet....$70 tho...goodness .....thx for thr review brother 🫡
Great review. Been in the market for a good multitool. Will check it out.
Dude!!! that is a sweet knife, I want one for my pocket, my car, my house, and my shed ;) (I'd use the corkscrew for sure)
