The bag strap paracord is actually really useful, always hanging my pack up by that strap on trees and that’d certainly stop the handle getting as shredded aswell

I find it interesting that you are one of the few people who talk about being able to sharpen your knife in the woods. I carry a small mill file, medium grit on one side, fine on the other, and a diamond sharpening rod. Keeps things nice and sharp.

Hiya, sorry I keep saying this but I'd love to see you do a limited budget overnighter! Or one using only items from the middle isle of lidl or aldi!

That was a cool trick for making an emergency whistle! I just happened to have a bottle cap on the table next to me and tried it and it really works! Thanks Mike, cheers

I’m really digging these concise tip videos!

Great video Mike, it's really interesting the things that you can do while out in the countryside. 😊

Still loving your content! years later you still teach me at least 1 thing EVERY video, much love from New Zealand

You can definitely see the connection in the use of the whetstone to the first aid kit😉

I make my pillow by stuffing my sleeping bag sack with clothes.

I'm definitely using these tips TA Outdoors

Love your channel. You are a resourceful man with many talents. I've already incorporated your use of Paracord, a radiant heat source to add to my pillow, I use my clothes in a stuff sack as well. And I will give your fishing setup a try - super good stuff!! Thank you 😎 Dry bags are also good to collect rain water off your tarp, should fresh water be a distance away. I let it rain awhile to clean the tarp and then filter the water prior to drinking it. The Sea to Summit shower is really just a dry sack with a spray head attached to the bottom 🤓 If I'm near a water source, I'll store perishable food in it, build a rock enclosure around it with some water flowing through, tether the dry bag and this will keep the food cool and dry.

Personally loved this video. So many useful tips and tricks. Thanks for sharing!!

I would love to see a 10-list in rope/cord uses.

I got myself dyneema cord as well as other ropes and cordage types. Dyneema is unreal. It floats in the water, 4mm cord can hold more than a 1300 kg, high resistance to rubbing. Used in yachting and for stunts. Worth to have at least 10-20m.

Cargo pockets are a good thing. Just remember, any extended period of time walking, and whatever you have in that pocket is rubbing against the outside of the thigh. Keep the contents to a minimal (as flat as possible) to avoid the skin abrasions.

It's always good to know and learn survival tips because you never know when you'll need them.

Thanks for the great video!

Great video. I always learn something useful from these trips that I can try. Good close-up shots, definitely honing the director's skills. I myself have recently started making videos about my adventures, of course, this cannot be compared with your work yet, but I am moving very quickly towards this. 🌙👍

Trotlines and "yo-yo" devices for fishing are musts for me to have if I'm going out for more than a few days. The handline is a great idea. I wrap fire core paracord around everything except my shoulder pads for extra fire building in bad weather conditions. Just a few thoughts for your other viewers. Be well and many fires friend.

Love these vids Mike!

Nice I'm a fan of the outdoors myself looking forward to more survival videos

Thank you for all the work that we see going into your videos, it keeps us coming back!

Amazing stuff, love to learn things like this

Love the pillow tip. Simple and effective.

Very helpful and informative video Mike 👍

Great job Mike! Always useful!

One of the best survival tips is: learn how to whistle without the help of fingers, what if you cannot use your hands and really need to call for help?. Nice video mate, I love your content.

Love this series

These high quality videos are soo satisfying thank you!

always a fan of the information side of these videos but I definitely cannot wait for some more winter camping videos

Thank you , Mike . Ever the teacher , 🙂 . 🐺

Good stuff for your type of area. I'd love to see someone who does that sort of thing for desert areas. I found one but haven't found more and it was a different desert. Yes, first aid kits and a whistle should be accessible at all times. it's easy to think of places to attach a whistle after you think about perhaps falling down a steep incline or whatever. Love your idea of extra paracord on the outside of the pack too. Perhaps a plastic bag recycled to use for any rubbish. I love your videos.

Learning from this channel and this video, so happy and serene.. 🔥🔥

Great tips as always Mike. 👍

Great tips! Thank you! 👍

I learned something new today. Thank you

Amazing. Good info. Many thanks

great tips great job many thanks

Interesting, useful and very well put together. Thank you.

Great tips, thanks for sharing.

Excellent channel. Learned lots thanks 👍🏻

Fine tips in there, I mostly liked the one on drying grass by bodyheat - it is underrated how good the body is to dry stuff

Great tips Mike cheers

A really good video and ideas. Thanks!

I think I’m in love with you, brilliant comprehensive video

Awesome tips and good job on video, nicely done! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

I always pick up a few chestnuts if I come across any. I have never roasted them before but I will be sure to do so next time. I personally never had any trouble eating them raw, but I have a rather strong stomach

Thank you Mike .

Excellent merci

Love your videos

I really wish I could find some acorns in my area but the squreals got to them first, we also didnt have many to begin with because of a snow storm in may. Most of the time here in Oregon the acorns are everywhere.

The leather wood thing i think is very important for finish sharpening. This helps a lot, thnaks.

Thanks Mike! 👍😁

Great video Mike keep'em coming bud. Stay safe and be well brother. Strength and Honor... 👊 🤙 🍻

Thanks man!

Instead of a proper rainfly for my hammock, i instead carry a heavy duty tarp, big enough to cover my hammock and keep me dry in the rain, but also has many other uses that a normal rainfly wont. An old altoids tin can be turned into a char box, and can keep tinder try, just load it with small wood chunk, poke a 1/4" hole on the top and toss it in the fire. If you rip your pant legs, turn them into shorts, and use the remaining leg portions to create storage bags, tie off one end with paracord and flip it inside out, paracord at the other end to tie to your pack. Another great video, always learn new stuff

Excellent tips 👌

Woww good job, thank for video.

Sending love and light ❤

This tricks are very useful!

as always great video

Cool Video 👍 Thank U for the Info and the Links 👍

great tips, yet another new usefull informations, great work, love it

Hey, I just had a thought (and no, wise guys, it didn't hurt!) Could you scrape off some of the pine glue from a glue stick, and use it as an enhancer for, say, some wet tinder? I think that might actually work, a new trick for the tool box that I've never heard anybody else try. And thanks again for the new video, Mike. I always learn something new when you post.

Rather than the bag wit the reflective shield and the leaves, try the inner of a 5 liter wine carton. It is strong, blow it halve up and it's a a pillow or cusion to sit on. You can pop out the valve, fill it with water, put back the valve and you have a very lightweight and very small water container that golds 5 liters of water. You can blow it up and wave it in the air as a signaling devise, much more effective than a mirror, because it reflects in all directions.

Thank you!

Acorn whistle is awesome 👌

Great video!

Wow beautiful love you camping

Great video and voice over work. I could definitely see/hear you being on a Discovery Channel Documentary.

Brilliant video again always learning something new. Keep the ww2 going too, all the best 👌

That bottle cap fishing lure is GENIUS 👍😆

Jolly Good Show. Loved your bushcraft tips 👏👏👏👍☕️☀️

Ace tips cheers Mike

Good video thank you

I learned a trick to start fires during wet weather while in the Boy Scouts many decades ago. Build your fire with the driest material possible and add a small candle in base of the fire. The candle will help dry the kindling and small wood until the fire can continue on its own. A piece of candle about 2 inches long would be good enough. A tea light candle would work as well.

Awesome episode Mike!! Cheers from across the Pond, California USA 🇺🇸 👊🏼😎🤙🏼

Great Video 👍

Good stuff!

great video

Parabéns

Thanks for the video mate from the land of Cornwall :)

Thanks for sharing 👍 This was a really useful video, full of great hints & tips, as usual. Are you going back out in the camper van or doing something next to the pizza oven camp soon? I love those videos 👏👏👏

YESS, GREATTTTT INFO ❤

I live in Australia, and there is a type of gum nut that is identical, if not better to the whistling technique with the acorn

great tips thanks, a sharpening video bush axe and bush knife I would watch that

Good video 🌲

6:02 Acorn whistle! Now there's something out of my early teens at Boy Scouts! A skill I still have today. Never thought I'd see that again! Different sizes give different pitches. 9:33 Hint: if you do the shaping of the cap before cutting it to length it will be much easier to hold firmly. Once shaping is done , cut to length. This technique has a wide range of applications. Enjoyed the video, as I'm also in UK. Cheers mate.

Nice

You can whistle using an acorn cap, holding it between your index and middle fingers. No second hand required.

Great video. Have you had ticks often?

Good idea with the bottle cap lure. It just so happens that have two bottlecaps sitting on my desk! would be interesting to see if i could use them to catch some perch!

I like bushcraft tips

Any chance of a video on what beginners should bring on there first overnight trip?

I use my sleeping carry bag as a leaf stuffing pillow and a thin sheet cut off a emergency blanket. Other times I just use to tow of footwear. Or afalsa blanket and a small heap of packed dirt.

Great video thanks Mike if you light the plastic wad on a shotgun cartridge this is also handy as a firelighter, as can burn for a good few minutes BUT lighting the plastic gives off a bit of black smoke. Great tips im sure they will come in handy 👍🏽

We need a vedio demonstrating all the useful things you can do with a shemagh.

I'd recommend adding a CAT tourniquet to your 1st aid kit. The bandage is great, but if you've got a bad enough bleed, it will be faster to stop the bleeding with a tourniquet and the CAT is easy to deploy solo.

You could easily use 2-3 meters of paracord and make it a king cobra weave, easy on the hand and lots of cord age.
