How to be Comfortable in the Woods.

After a hard day of walking around the woods, even camping, you know, just being out for a few days, it's a really important thing to have somewhere to sit and rest your back. I think that's fantastic when you can rest your back. So using just a couple pieces of gear that I brought that are super lightweight, and this dead tree right here, I'm going to show you how I like to sit in the bush. I'm just making sure this tree is dead, and it is. Cut it down, it'll be sufficient, maybe I'll do a back cut. Basically I need like three straight pieces of this, so I'll measure out probably about the size of my axe would do um three pieces that way that big and i'll cut them so the bottom's kind of gnarled and stuff and i don't really need it i want to start a few feet up i'll measure boom that's one mark it three right there so what i'm doing is just cleaning it up now i want to make like a stake out of it so obviously take the bottom part which is sorry the top part which is thinner uh for the bottom i'm going to chamfer the top so it doesn't mushroom out too much on me i like to make this part this top part up here flat it's on the diagonal from chopping it so make it flat cool now that part's done so the other pieces of gear that i have with me that i was talking about that would be part of my chair is this blue foam pad this thing has been with me for like 10 years going strong i use it to fan the fire everything it's a useful piece of kit goes with me on every trip and this piece of reflectors it's three quarters of my body length and use it i fold it up like that and then put my my seat on it i use it as backrest I actually use that as a pad underneath my ground sheet or my ground pad works good anyways back to this all I'm doing is I'm pounding stakes into the ground on a slight angle going backward space um I don't know three or four inches apart now that that's done that's your seat right there so it's got that that's folded up like three or four times you could even make the back taller if you wanted and the blue pad goes on there as well now yeah that's basically it so there's a couple other uses for this i want to show you as well so sometimes you might not have an axe with you might not have too many tools with you or sometimes maybe you just want to set up near a log a lot of times we can find firewood and like even good shelter areas right by a big log like this and this is all you would need kyle and i have done multiple day trips with rolling logs to places and using them as a back support like this it works great it's fantastic and so again another use for it this is probably one of my favorite uses for this thing um i don't like to bring a ground sheet with me i've had bad experience with water pooling on it and just having bad times with it and really i don't like a ground sheet i went for a while without anything underneath but this allows you to get up off the ground even a little bit more like i said it's only three quarters my body length but i just put it right to my head my weight is not going to be anywhere near my feet there so I'm not worried about popping popping the the pad with anything and it's good to go so I never bring a chair when I go camping I've always used this reflective stuff it's much better than just sitting right on the ground or sitting on a log not having any back support as you can tell I like it it works real well it goes everywhere with me it weighs nothing at all you can find this reflective stuff for real cheap at like an insulation department or at your hardware store or whatever pick some up try it out see what happens I hope you found this video useful I hope that
