Well played. Very interesting to me, seeing as how I used to have SAK just like that one. Somebody creeped it. But I did enjoy the video. Have a good day.
Fantastic demo!! Two questions... What is the stone around your neck used for sharpening? What footwear are you using? They look seriously comfortable.
Dude I’m shocked that you’re not 105 And that you would wear your light coloured canvas shoes into the forest Thank you so much for great content Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Great video. When you build your guide for the cordage cutter (the little wood block), I would suggest to make the two incisions first and then , after, to cut the length. That way you will have more t grab during the cuts. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the hacks.
good tips, wood be good to say what wood you used for different tasks. funny how I was curious if your wet like next will ignite from the bow drill amber, but then you just jump to the flame in the next frame ;)
My EDC knife is the Tinker,Small. I keep it hanging from my pants loop. For extra carry in the outdoors I like the [Climber and the Huntsman] Main reason; The multi purpose hook and the corkscrew on both.
Why would you use a SAK corkscrew to use the knife as a carry handle for a small log you could just carry with you hands?! It risks breaking the corkscrew which only designed to use in cork, not wood, therefore losing an otherwise useful implement from the knife.
the time it took to drill the cork screw into the log you coulda just carried it back not to mention thats probably terrible for the pins and back springs
Some good ideas here. Pity there is a cut at 14:45 because it would have been good to see whether you had actually started the fire with that method. The main question being: Is what you had done by 14:44 sufficient to start the fire by just blowing or did you have to do it again? It would be good to see that method working from start to finish because it seems quite difficult to me.
He did everything right except he forgot to cut a notch in the board for the dust to collect in if you dont cut a notch it spreads itself too thin on top of the board and wont ignite my guess is he lit it with the zippo
It was a good video overall, but the bow-drill fire was faked. That's not how it works. There has to be a notch cut into the hearthboard to collect the ember, and the tinder has to be much finer and drier in order to be lit and blown into flame from such an ember.
2:37 OK, so, why would you use your tool to secure two pieces of wood together? Then you'd have no tool! I don't get it. [When I was at Boy Scouts we ALWAYS carried a length of mattress chain with a hook on each end, which we hung off a pole tripod to boil water!! Simple and idiot proof! 5:30 Watching you struggle with the cuts on that small bit of wood - here's a tip. Before cutting the desired length, first do all those other cuts with the saw while the pole is still long. Once the cuts are all done, then cut off at the desired length. Much more manageable.
This may be a good use for it but WD40 is not a lubricant--- not a lubricant--- you can put it on where lubricant should stay and go back sometime later and there will be nothing there...... WD40 is not a lubricant of any desirable viscosity.
My experience with SwissArmy knives led me to this survival hack: throw away any Swiss Army knives that you may foolishly have, and get a full tang bushcraft knife. Never look back. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
The friction fire starting was fake he did the technique wrong didn’t even get to smoke didn’t even get an ember dumped it on course Tinder in order to get it to light on fire they had to do a jump cut to a point after they lit it with a lighter or something
Don't let this guy fool you. The Huntsman (corkscrew) is the same as Super Tinker (phillips screwdriver instead of corkscrew). You will use the phillips 100 times in a year and use the corkscrew on New Years Eve. There is no magnet in the button hook/ parcel hook and no one puts a pin in that little hole. You will never keep your blade sharp enough to make cordage or fishing line from a plastic bottle and bend the pin (that you won't stick in that little hole because it slides out and jabs you) to make a fish hook
