SOLO BUSHCRAFT TRIP IN DENMARK - primitive skills, bow drill, shelter, cooking meat, flint knapping

This is all about bushcraft, wild camping and primitive skills. No talking, just showing you a glimpse of one of the things I love the most - Being out in the Nordic nature with my camera, making a simple camp, starting a fire, making some campfire cooking, doing woodcraft, practice my bushcraft skills and most importantly - reconnecting with nature.

In this video I am in a Danish forest where I have decided to make a simple bushcraft camp. After making a shelter with my tarp, I am starting a friction fire by using a bow drill. It is essential to be able to start a fire in a survival situation, so just to practice the routines and the habit of thinking forward, I am making me a spare friction fire kit. I love doing woodcraft, so maybe it was also just an excuse for actually carving some wood.
To start a fire in these wet conditions I use birch bark and Chaga mushroom to turn the ember into fire.

After getting the camp fire going I have to make a setup for primitive cooking. I make bread over the fire by using fresh sticks, making soup in my Eagle kettle and I am roasting a steak over the embers.

While the food is cooking over the camp fire, I am going to do some nature photography in the meadow and to find water. When returning I practice some flint knapping. I have brought a flint stone and my flint knapping tools, but unfortunately it is getting dark way to fast:)

The rest of the evening is just eating, enjoying nature and relaxing in my primitive bushcraft camp with my dog Bjørn.

Please let me know in the comments, if you would like the video and if you would like some more Bushcraft videos.

••• WHO I AM •••
---------------------------

My name is Morten Hilmer and I work as a professional nature and wildlife photographer. I am passioned about Bushcraft, primitive skills and outdoor life and nature in general. My goal is to share my fascination with you and invite you behind the scene when I am out photographing the fascinating wildlife, doing my bushcraft or just spending time in the wilderness.
I have a huge respect for Nature and and as an ILCP photographer, I use my photographs as a tool to set focus on the importance of taking care of this amazing world.

For me nature photography is all about sharing the unique experiences and to put awareness to nature conservation. Furthermore my goal is to inspire as many as possible to get out and experience the true beauty of nature - either by doing bushcraft or by photographing - or both...

“I have served in the Danish military special unit, the Sirius Patrol, for two years and that has given me the skills and confidence to operate alone in the arctic regions. I have spent two further years in the northern parts of Greenland meeting the local people and working on photography projects. My driving force is a sense of adventure and my fascination for nature, and my curiosity and empathy for other cultures has led me to many remote regions.”

Beside the many publications my photographs has been awarded in the Wildlife photographer of the year and European Wildlife photographer of the year photo competitions.

In spring 2017 I published my book Silence of the North: https://mortenhilmer.com/en/shop/silence-of-the-north/
