I live in a middle of a large city while barely ever going out in the wildernes. Still one of the most enjoyable content I came across in a long long time!
Man has lost the connection with nature as compared to just 100 years ago. Not a good Thing as the human being is Part of nature. Our bodies return to it eventually. Our minds need a nature connection. Peace, natural sounds, light, fresh air.
Boiling water without a bowl now that was pretty amazing man. I had no idea what you were going to do. You have either learned from the best in survival or you are a genius. Or both lol
Great ideas, except the burning of that tent peg, you should have just used the shavings. And saved the rest of the peg for more fire starters or some other use later. Most plastics can be shredded for fire starters. Preparing that match should have been done at home. With vaseline or nail polish, prior to trying to survive, out in the bush, but yes, it's still a great idea. Using a straw or that plant as a blow pipe for starting a fire works great.
There is an amazing amount of advanced beginner knowledge on here that I really enjoy being able to show people who don't know much. Definitely a lot of real practical stuff enhancing basic skills
Most of my favorite channels about bushcraft/foraging have either died off or moved on to different subjects. AlfieAesthetics and David's Passage disappeared completely, The Outsider just makes cabins now, MCQBushcraft started a channel about Jeeps, etc. It's nice to finally find a channel I can enjoy as much as those old ones. Cozy, informative, lots of beautiful nature, and most importantly, no loud music in the background! Love the channel, hope you start posting more often.
For your pine pitch torch, you can quad-split a fatwood branch the same way and just light the fatwood end. A two inch diameter branch used as a torch like this will burn for 4-6 hours. For tinder, carry a pencil sharpener. Yes, the little plastic ones. Just find a dry branch the approximate diameter and twist as much tinder as you need.
You can make a whole canoe with that bowl-making trick. I’ve also seen seashells used to help with scraping them out at Jamestown. Thank you for the good tips!
Been practicing survival techniques for decades. Nice easy demonstrations that are useful anywhere? Always happy to learn new tricks, even at 70 years old! Thnx for the show, well done! Especially the water bottle. Brilliant!
Great that you can still obtain "strike anywhere" matches where you are. No longer available in the UK , the precursor chemicals were banned by the EU. Loved strike anywhere matches.
@@ValerieDee123 Think, sadly, strike anywhere matches are being phased out everywhere. I hate safety matches, get the striker strip damp and you have useless matches.
Have you watched any Les Hiddens videos? He's also know as The Bush Tucker Man (tucker is old fashioned Australian slang for food). He became famous in the 1990s for his t.v shows. His knowledge regarding survival is 2nd to none. These skills can be transferred to any country with wilderness type places.
Les was a regular army officer.with 2 deployments in South Vietnam 1967/68. Rank Major. Retired ARA and continued in Reserves working lot with north QLD Aboriginals.
great tips! for water purification I've heard of ppl filtering bad water through a small piece of pine. The set up being 2 plastic water bottles joined at the necks with a tight seal using a piece of pine branch, the top water bottle full of bad water which slowly filters through the pine wood into the bottom bottle
Please make more of these. Love the quick but very useful and important informational videos. There are tons on YT, but I like your videos a lot. Very entertaining
Sometimes I can't wait to use these tricks. But probably first time trying I'll fail to remember em properly or something. I'm going to write this kind of stuff down.
🔥Life hacks for survival in the forest, this is when you have nothing from equipment and you do everything with your bare hands, and you get fire and food and drinking water and cookware and cook food, boil water, build shelter... and the rest is just pampering, although you also need to know.
A lot of these channels have stupid tips; yours happen to be very useful. Water proofing the matches was pretty cool. I'll definitely have to try the mosquito repellent trick too.
I was pretty tired of all these survival videos until I found yours. This is a pretty great video, man. Good job not having an annoying intro or constant ads. Good job. I actually appreciate your content.
This is probably the most fascinating educational survival tip video I have ever seen and iv seen hundreds . Congratulations what an amazing job . I just subscribed. Cheers mate
So many things I already knew, combined in ways that never even occurred to me, alongside a few things that I didn't even realize were actually feasible, like the vine water. I knew that they leaked like crazy if you cut into them, but just erred on the side of caution, since I had no idea if it was toxic or not...
I love watching these tips, simple yet ingenious. I know I wouldn't remember them if I needed to, though. Guess I need to get a slim little notebook and take notes. Also take some time to go outside and practice them all. 😎
Wow! That's an awesome video and I'm going to make sure to watch your other videos as well. I've learn few things that's for sure and you now have a new subscriber. Thanks for all those good tips!
Awesome. Im wanting to spend alot of time camping solo in the wilderness this year in way north cali during the winter. Never rone it but im craving it
Kind Sir please 🥺 don't ever stop making these institutional videos!!!! And Howdy Howdy from DeadHorse Alaska, Alvin Texas and Aroostook county Maine ☺️🥰🤠🧸🦣🐻😊🚁✈️🚢
Tin cans, small or big, are like soup cans. You can empty food cans. Wash out, remove paper, etc. Now you have to experiment a little bit with punching the holes. Starting with a large can at the open top and making a number of rings of air holes that go around the can all the way to the bottom, You are going to need to experiment and play around with the number of holes. The small can cut out a crown at the top of the can. VVVVV the height of the 8-hour tea light, add in some air holes like the big can. Then get a flat rock as the base light and an 8-hour tea light. Put the small can over the tea light, then the big can over the crown can. Now the air holes should let air in, and the tea light will start to warm and heat up the cans; it can finger-burn you hot. In effect, turning an two old can into a small space heater the idea works in the same way as using tea lights and terra-cotta flower pots to make a room heater. and has the same dangers.
Or bring a mini burner, and 4 butane cans. Excellent for frying meat, starting fires and lighting up the dark. Lasts one week or longer if you don't use them constantly.
