If it starts to rain you need to pray your ditch doesn’t turn into a stream.
@henkmeerdink2088 7 місяців тому
First thing I thought... "I found this ditch..." nooooo
@petemack3076 Місяць тому
It's the wrong terrain for flash floods. Too flat, too much cover, high percolation. But a generally bad idea, I agree.
@elliot2857 Місяць тому
If you have a folding camp shovel you can actually dig a trench to guide any potential rain water to run around/away from your desired spot. No doubt it's possible to do with your hands if needed and without tools.

@janiharkki6860 7 місяців тому
Looks very nice but feels very odd for myself being from Finland. You can literally drive 20min outside of Helsinki to setup camp in a place where nobody passes by for weeks or months, perhaps even not during a year and if you're somewhere outside the capital region, finding empty woods is probably easier than finding people 😂
@WildBeare 7 місяців тому
Ahh wow, that sounds like absolute bliss!! We are quite crammed together here in the UK unfortunately :/ thanks for watching :)
@AnthonyTobyEllenor-pi4jq Місяць тому
I used to visit Finland for my work, it is indeed very sparsely populated but as I was driving from Helsinki to Pereseinojoki in June, I was surprised to see snow remnants at the side of the road. My query, does Finland have the ,'' allemansrecht', to go where you want to, like Sweden has ?

The use of detrius....limbs, brambles, heavy foliage even rocks can redirect traffic away from an area as well as provide better concealment.

@hindsfeetonhighplaces 7 місяців тому
That is excellent camo for sure. My only critique would be the ditch. If it were to rain, that would not keep you dry because the sides of the ditch would direct the rain down into the bottom. But for a clear night like you had that was a PERFECT stealth site.
@WildBeare 7 місяців тому
Thank you so much :D this ditch doesn't fill with water, even in winter. It's very long, prob around 50m. The most it would get is slightly muddy (I know these woods very well). Hope you have a lovely week! 🌿🐻
@user-zu4kl7hx2o 7 місяців тому
The trouble with really good camouflage is that if you get up during the night to take a short walk, when you return you might not be able to find your camp!

Hi, Corp in Corporals Corner makes a broom by just using an old branch with a couple of forks at the end, which makes short work of clearing the brush away from the ground. PS, I'd be too scared of rats, bugs, spiders, slugs and basically everything else to do what you did there.
@WildBeare 7 місяців тому
Oooh yes someone else has mentioned this too, I keep meaning to try it thanks! Haha yes those take a bit of getting used to I guess, the slugs love to get in my hair at night so I wear a bug net over my head now :)

Great camo work! Somebody should make a tarp with irregular edges for this sort of thing. Still, beware of water courses, like ditches. You don't want to do a George Washington and camp int a place that turns into a river in the middle of the night. If it's dry at the bottom, and there's no forecast rain, you may be safe, as this time.
