Bushcraft camp overnighter on the Roanoke River

Details: 19 February 2018; 4222

I'm Gabriel Roberts from Roberts Bushcraft and I'm bring you along on another great camp overnighter at the Roanoke River with my Dad, Curry Roberts.

It was a wet and rainy night and the temps dropped to 35 degrees. Our Aqua Quest tarps kept us dry, we rigged them together to make our camp area a little bigger and provide better coverage over our Grand Trunk hammocks.

I stayed warm at first but then much cooler as dawn approached. I found out why! The Mylar bubble wrap that I use as a sleeping allowed an alarming amount of moisture to gather between the bubble wrap and my sleeping bag. I ended up with a soaked patrol bag! That can be deadly in colder temperatures.

We found some fatwood, and I even demostrate how to cross a fallen tree. Sounds simple, but, the space beneath the log is a prime place to get bitten by a snake.

We baked some muffins in our Stanley adventure cups, ate sausages and had a great time.
