I’ll also compare several popular models and share what I consider the best compass currently available for serious navigation work.

Cowboy Coffee and Campfire Cooking Oatmeal

Part Five of the Green Beret Bushcraft Camp Build using traditional gear and hand tools only! During this episode I use a natural spring for water, show you my favorite fire lay that I call the "elevator fire lay", show you how I make my coffee, and cook some oatmeal for breakfast.

This series is about a return to more traditional bushcraft skills and enjoying myself doing a solo overnight camping trip, while building the bushcraft camp with more traditional bushcraft gear. I have chosen to use vintage camping gear like an Oilskin Tarp, a selection of leather and waxed canvas items, and some hand forged items that are truly one-of-a-kind like my marlinspike. In addition, there are some items that would be considered more modern mixed in there.

The focus of this series was not teaching the skills by the numbers; it was meant to show "skills in context" as they would be used in a bushcraft camp setup.

Best Mattress in the Woods! Green Beret Bushcraft Camp Build Part Two

Continuing the series of the Bushcraft Camp Build with nothing more than vintage gear, including my only three hand tools: a knife, a folding saw, and a hatchet.

During this episode I choose the best shelter location, clear the area to allow for construction of my camp (and set that material aside for future projects), and make my browse bed mattress with the GB2 Bedsleeve.

The focus of this series was not teaching the skills by the numbers; it was meant to show "skills in context" as they would be used in a bushcraft camp setup.

In addition, there is a short discussion of why I like to use traditional gear over modern gear at times.

I thought you might like to take a sneak peek into her film and get to know her as well. Absolutely phenomenal instructor. Here is one of many chapters in her film where she discusses knife safety, selection, and use.

Spring Pole Primitive Snare Trap for Survival

(YT)Gray Bearded Green Beret — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 07:55:30 GMT

Other useful links can be found here: https://graybeardedgreenberet.com/pages/links

There are hundreds of ways to set traps using primitive methods. However, primitive trapping is illegal in many, if not most parts of the United States. So how do you make a video about it? Here is the solution that I came up with for my new film "Into the Woods". Hope you enjoy it.

With so many trapping options, where do you start? I teach people to start with the most versatile traps that are easy to make, set up, and that can be used on both land and water. The opposing notches trigger is one of those simple survival traps that can be used as a snare or a fishing pole. I use a spring pole here, but you could use many other techniques to deliver energy to this trap.

In my opinion, It is better to be extremely good at just a handful of traps that work in most environments, than it is to be somewhat familiar with hundreds of traps that aren't as versatile.
