I am joined by my brother from another mother Jimmy https://www.youtube.com/@stonecutterrolls
in my trapper's camp. We added a tin roof to the new bunk "Jerad's bunk" using tin left over from my cabin. We cooked a Chicago style deep dish pie in the dutch oven, then settled in for what turned out to be one of my most comfortable camp outs.

I was in Boy Scouts growing up and even made it to eagle, but after I turned 18 "adulting' took over and I rarely did any of those activities. After seeing the way the world was going I decided I needed to brush up on my self-reliance and outdoor skills. So in January of 2021 I began hiking out into my woods, building fires, shelters, cooking, and doing other bush activities. I decided for my own benefit I would film and catalog these trips, and track my progress along the way. You are watching me learn in real time.

In this video series you will see me learning survival skills and enjoying nature in various forms including; bushcrafting, firemaking, campfire cooking, fishing, hunting, and foraging. In many videos you will be invited along for the journey as I camp in every possible environment from under the stars, to bushcraft shelters, to tent camping and even some vanping in my van and luxury camping in campers.

In the fall of 2021 I built a small cabin in one of my favorite locations. Many of the videos take place there as well.

Big thank you to Brandon "Cooper" Wilson for the "In the Bush" graphic
