All things back-country camping! Gear discussions, destination talks and everything else within that realm

Hi all. I'm looking for recommendations on YouTube channels that cover skills, tips and tricks, tools, etc that are useful for camping.

YouTube has a plethora of "survival"/"prepper"/etc content that I'd rather not have to wade through. While interesting, informative, and entertaining, it's a bit more than what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for content that covers more basic stuff, like: fire starting, useful knots, gear advice, finding safe water sources, first aid, etc.

Would love to hear about any recommendations you might have. Thanks!

It's almost certainly not quite what you're looking for, but Camping with Steve https://www.youtube.com/@campingwithsteve tends to be just a dude camping. He doesn't talk technical stuff, doesn't really talk gear, knots, or anything like that -- but does show how easy it can be to get into camping with basic gear from Walmart (or Canadian Tire in his case) and camp pretty much anywhere. I like to recommend it to people who are fairly new to camping because I think he helps dispel the survivalist myth about camping having to be hardcore.

That said, it's definitely not quite what you're looking for.

there's this one camper who covers his trips. it's not exactly what you're looking for, but maybe similar. He is fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/@budha9730
