5 Days Building Alone in the Wilderness (No Talking, ASMR)

Sleep tight and don't let the Venomous Copperheads bite! My chuck wagon and I are on a mission to off grid homestead Oklahoma the way it was done in 1883. With a good set of pioneer tools and a little bushcraft knowhow I'll hopefully survive the coming winter.

In this episode I originally wanted to finish the sod walls but I'm recovering from covid so I thought I'd do something less strenuous. I turned out to be completely wrong, this bed took a huge amount of energy to make. In the end though I absolutely love it and it's incredibly comfortable. It took about 165 feet of rope to make.

The Copperhead came so close to biting me. Normally I'm looking down for snakes but at this moment I had my head up to doge a tree branch. At the corner of my eye I saw something move violently at me (it was striking) and instinctually I started picking up my feet, I danced in place and I made a sound like a man losing balance about to fall off a roof. I'm glad no one saw it because I'm sure it was embarrassing. I composed myself and started recording, but you can still hear my panicked breathing.

I look forward to all your questions and comments.Thank you for watching and if you enjoy the video please remember to give it a thumbs up!

God bless,
Will
