I challenge you to create a video about Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) and it's many uses (tea, cordage, spinach, salad, medical aspects, nettle leach (fertilizer) and more). Would love to see you try some of this yourself. Your teaching skills are frigging awesome. :-D
awesome video as always, if your ever in the north east i will love to come out with you to do some bushcraft , ive pass to ray mears courses the fundamental and the joumeymans one
Mike, a fun survival recipe would be making Bannock (pan bread) from found grain/carbohydrates. Do you have Cat-tails or a large amount of grass seeds available? "The Daily Grind" comes from this old world activity.
In the UK and Europe the distress signal is 6 blasts on a whistle repeated every minute, the response is 3 whistle blasts to let the person asking for help know someone has heard. However, what tends to happen is once the person needing help hears the 3 blasts they think helps is on the way and stop the whistles. This makes it harder for the rescue team to use the sound to locate them especially in poor visibility so if you do need help don’t stop blowing the whistle until rescuers are with you.
@@markcummings6856 that’s clearly untrue as it’s 6 in the U.K. and you can check with any U.K. Mountain Rescue website. Europe too so not ‘world universal’. I was pointing this out to avoid confusion in the U.K. as, and I’m guessing here, most viewers are in the U.K. 3 whistle blasts are used in the US and there is a generally accepted ‘rule of 3’ for visual signals eg 3 cairns, 3 fires, 3 Xs etc placed in a triangle but no ‘world universal’ 3 whistle blasts. Always willing to learn so please show me what your source is for the ‘world universal’?
I love this man I have bever in my life been camping and I honestly wish I get to go one day. All his tips and outdoor time make me yearn for nature even more. Thanks mate:)
Never been camping?! Wow that kinda hurts me to hear that! I really to hope u go one day! Do it before you to old! Enjoy it! Mother Nature is ignored far to much these days!
@@SnailHatan the forest laws in my country are extremely strict. Patches of woodland are pretty much impossible to buy. There are forests here but all of them have been converted to national parks and camping isn’t allowed:(
В первом совете я бы рекомендовала смешать живицу из сосны с растительным маслом или жиром,во избежание аллергии.Эту мазь можно использовать не только для порезов: 1.ран 2.нарывов 3.высыпаний 4.геморроя 5.экземы 6.псориаза 7.сибирской язвы 8.трещин на пятках 9.герпесе 10.фурункулах 11.при грибке ног и ногтей. В походе,знаете ли,все может случиться.
Did you get these tips from watching Ray Mears? He has shown all of these skills in his older videos from like, 20 years or more ago. Great guy. If I were to get lost on any continent on the planet, he would know how to survive with pretty much nothing, so I would definitely rather be with him while lost than anyone else alive today. I still go back and watch his bushcraft videos yearly.
The grass whistle nostalgia. Lol Good note on the Morse code. I think anyone trekking into the wilderness should have basic signaling knowledge. It truly is a life saving skill. Love the content man keep it up.
The bestgrasses to use as a whistle are the wide , fuzzy blades of grass, the wider and fuzzier the louder the sound. Crabgrass blades seem to work best.
Funny, I just watched another short video where you make a whistle out of a tiny branch by removing the outer bark. I was watching this and thought.... Why not just whistle with a grass leaf? I learned this in Holland, I grew up on a farm 😄 Thanks for sharing these videos, awesome tips!
my buddy cut himself once while we were Backcountry camping. used the balsam fir sap as a test. half way through the day we checked on his wound. It has looked like it was already healing. either way it worked really well.
Anyone know a good channel in the American southeast? I love this day and we’ll keep watching but would love similar plant info for plants that actually exist in my region
Hi Mike. Been watching TAF and your channel for ages. Thanks for the great content. Glad to see you in your woods. I believe I noticed you using a clipper lighter not a bic like all the youtubers keep recommending. I've been trying to get the message across on how much better clipers are. Refillable. Removable spark bit which can be interchanged or used by itself to ignite tinder. Replaceable flint, and I'm sure there's other benefits than those. .
Only downfalls of the Clipper is the port will sometimes leak, and if you run it too long the igniter bit can heat and loosen around the striker wheel. Clipper, Djeep, and Bic are all good. Zippos are too just higher maintenance.
a brilliant knowledge of the world around you. Thank you for the education. i have learned more than i ever thought i would from your channel. God Bless You and your family 🙏👌👍☮️🌼🦋💜🦋🌼
You may not want to try number 9 in grizzly country. Sounding like a wounded animal with apex predators near by isn't going to do you any good if help is what your after.

Heretic! That knife you were using to pierce the blisters on the Douglas fir didn't have a Scandi grind! Don't you know that it MUST have a Scandi grind for it to be considered Bushcraft?😉
Fortunately many of the plants and such you use/mention are also found here in Texas, I've learned much from your page and enjoy the content you create. Keep up the good work
That Douglas Fir must have been relatively young. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of those in the US Pacific Northwest region (Oregon and Washington) and up into western Canada. The mature trees have very rough, thick bark and you’d be hard pressed to find those blisters.
6:20 I like to use a length of braided jute twine soaked in wax, with a piece of copper tube at the end. When you fluff up the end it lights with a ferro rod. Use the tube to regulate the flame or put it out. Cheap to make, waterproof and light weight.
As always, great 10in10 , Mike! The one specially cought my eye. The grass SOS signal. It reminded me of childhood. We as a kids did the same with grass. 🤠👍 Anyway. Great video. 👋🇱🇹
Many great Survivor tips I love all your videos you have such extreme knowledge of plants and your surroundings , I enjoy the knowledge of the medicinal and edible plants. I'd like to learn about mushrooms if you know mushrooms can you start sharing some knowledge on those as well. Love your Channel take care.
Love your tip videos, always a ton of useful information packed into a short amount of time. It's been a long time since I've heard a blade of grass used as a whistle, a very nice reminder. Thank you for continuing to make these videos, looking forward to the next one!
I think it is nearly impossible to get yourself in a survival situation in the uk or a near death situation all this green and animals not mentioning the transport system where there are thousands of busses and trains that go everywhere. try survival in a desert with no grass no rain no transport no shade
