10 Wilderness Survival Tips | Bushcraft Skills 

Good stuff sir!

Great, informative and interesting as ever. As a presenter, your skills are really professional. JUST ONE THING. I totally get you've got a huge fan base in the States, but, please, keep it british, what. "I'm going to cut ME a branch." (Sorry, I'm paraphrasing), Imho, our State side friends love our "quaint English" and it'll help, I think to keep them engaged, which is most important for YT channels, keep it Jolly English Old Chap. Hmmm? I'll pop the kettle on. Much den building inspiration I've gleaned from here! Thumbs Up!

I love the knife man

Brilliant!

That was excellent ! You really got every single possible use out of that poor little knife ! lol

It literally says victory in the name so yes...

The bottle opener is really good for opening canned food.

@@masterprediction7353 But... thats what the can opener is for...

@@parryhotter4283 😂 well I guess if one breaks you have the other lol

@@masterprediction7353 i always have to laugh if the bushcrafters open cans with a can opener but on the other side is a ring to pull on xD

I agree. It doesn't help to have the best tools at hand if you don't know what to do with them. It amazes me how some people can do so much with a little knife like that.

Knowledge and intelligence to gain and invent it

And the ability to exercise patience and control, considering the tool has certain delicate aspects.

The more you know, the less you have to carry.

No, it's the tool that builds something, not the Swiss army knife.

Yes, got that one tip in a video coming out later this year!

Facts

The corkscrew makes an excellent back massager for pet rats.

that is great advice :)

I did it a few years ago with a normal wine corkscrew, never realized that this was a Survival tip

Apocalypse

@@WhoThisMonkey yes i comented this fast so i didnt double check but it's fixed now:)

Building a city with a SAK 😂

Thanks James

It's also 50 bucks lol

@@mandyduncan9320 found one for 20

@@mandyduncan9320 its Victorinox. its cheap! it will last a lifetime...

I was going to ask when you’re coming back Felix. Then after watching Mike’s awesome video, I scroll down just 2 videos in my subscriptions list....and there you are 😀

Thank you Felix! Keep doing what you do. Inspirational stuff!

@@WarmHandLuke Hello Luke. Thanks a lot for visiting my channel after the break! 😀

@@TAOutdoors I will do my best! 😀

Felix small world good friend meeting you here 👍🇮🇹🐾🦊🇬🇧

dude i only use the cork screw in a swiss army knife :):)

it's also great for untying really stuck knots just twist the corksrew into the stuck knot and pull :) plus i keep one of the tiny eyeglass screwdrivers in there for my glasses

I found his comment pretty odd as well. I own 42 Swiss Army Knives and only open wine bottles with them. Since I have so many SAKs, I don't see a point in buying a dedicated corkscrew. Also, I've seen RU-vidrs struggle for not having a corkscrew. This lady from Canada was in Eastern Europe, went to the store to buy a bottle of wine, returned to her hostel only to realize that the hostel didn't have a corkscrew. She had to go back to the liquor store to have the bottle open. Some people take things for granted.

The corkscrew of my Swiss knife is the only bottle opener I use.

@@denizegeedige is that why you bought it?

Cheers Jeff

Which one did you not know just curious?

@@parabellum7961 ...the pole saw, actually.

🇨🇦

Jeff may i ask what is your favourite Swiss army knife ? To use or for EDC thanks

It’s all his private land that he bought

Good to know these tips are actually helping peop- WAIT A MINUTE

For sure! I mentioned Felix in this video

You clearly didn’t watch till the end of the video 😂

Hi. I admire Felix very much but i would not say he revived the SAK. It has been the best selling knife worldwide (if you include all it's versions) since way before Felix was born. What he has done however is to show how versatile this small tool actualy is. For large projets and small. Also how to care for and modify the knife to your personal needs. He gives us the knowledge to use the tool to it's best capabilities. As Mike does here. He did not revive something that was unpopular or dead. From my experience most people who own a SAK only use 1 or 2 tools on it, the knife and the scissors for exemple. Now thanks to Felix more people are using more of the tools, or seeing that they could in fact carry a smaller version with just the tools they use. And Mike does mention him near the end of the video. All the best.

Maybe a mix of both, You dont want tools that break easily.

@@RottenFlesh-we6nu yeah, it's 50/50. You can't do much with a garbage soft steel dollar store multi tool. But also, you can have the latest AMG Mercedes, but if you don't know how to drive it, it doesn't matter. So it's 50 50.

Sounds great fun

@@tomgillespie195 yea I’m looking forward to it

Thanks!

Very well said! 👍👍👍

I also figured if your being smarter to you could also properly state what practical purpose of some batoning is such as getting smaller more manageable kindling to work with general width for it is thumb, ring finger, and pinkie as an example and yes its possible with a sak but I wouldn't trust that near my fingers at all. Then again no offense you don't strike me as someone who should judge the "bushcraft" type when you omitted that bit of info about what and when a practical time for light batoning a field knife.

@@Horde334 My longest trip was 3 months, and I made a campfire every night. I only took a folding lock knife with me. I would also note that most of the time you see people batoning, they are processing logs that have been cut up with a chainsaw. Personally I never stumbled across piles of fire logs in the wilds. I am merely pointing out that people need to stop using their knife like its an axe, and just find better firewood. I managed it easy enough.

@@Domn879 I own a condor moonshiner, so I wont argue with you about how cool big knives are haha

Cheers

Or just carry the Wave, which is superior in every single way to a SAK.

Except that you cannot EDC one in the UK without reasonable excuse. What TA is demonstrating is that if something untowards happens and all you have is a SAK, you still have quite a bit of capability. Although everything is going to take quite a bit longer.

@@leighrate I feel bad for the people in the UK and the ridiculous laws they have to follow.

@@leighrate "Reasonable" is subjective. Who determines what is "reasonable" ? 🤣 I can come up with many *REASONS* why I want to carry the Leatherman Wave. Now what? 😉 With that said, Leatherman has tools that can be taken out, so just remove the blade(s) if they're not legal for you to carry there. I'm sure there is a way to get them replaced with another tool! I've seen guys customize their SAK on RU-vid as well. Might have to pay someone to do it though. I've never done it myself.

@@adfdasdfadfadsfareae americans have laws that allows them to have rifles at home haha, they wont need to have any escapes to the forest in future, unlike us europeans haha

Also, the firefly by tortoise gear.

An S A knoife

OK What do you know about Swiss trouser wrestling?

The laws around knives in the uk are a joke all they do is stop sensible outdoorsy people from actually enjoying themselves and teaching their kids valuable life skills

Agreed. For my needs as a whitewater kayaker, a Leatherman is far more rugged and handy.

Definitely, swiss dont even lock on blades or saw, risk a your own hands

@@robertvilla2997 true. Nonetheless impressive what TA can achieve with one little Swiss!

Was about to make the same comment until i saw yours

Well yes, for choice. However courtesy of UK & a number of other countries knife law's that isn't always possible. What TA is demonstrating is that you might "only" have a SAK on you, but you are far from helpless.
