Fishing Hooks that can save your life in a survival situation! 

Thanks for watching! Which of the hooks did you like best?

I was sitting a moment ago and this channel crossed my mind, I used to watch you as a kid as I was a fan of survivalist channels and content. Glad to see you’re still posting!!

This is such a great video! Whenever you read books about these homemade hooks they never go into detail, so this video is so irreplaceable! Thank you!!

I was shown by natives here how to fish like this, either Thorns or Bone hooks and sinew to tie and for the line, I can confirm you can catch fish like this, the natives here have been doing it 50000+ years. Great work Lilly

That bone fish hook looks like it might be pretty effective. When it comes to thorn hooks, the green briars that grow in the part of West Virginia where I used to live would probably be effective also. The thorns are very sharp and the vines are extremely tough, almost like Nature's barbed wire.

Sehr schöne und feine Arbeiten liebe Lilly, cool gemacht!

In the tool tube part of your fishing kit, would you consider adding a small lockblade, and a small multitool, such as a Gerber Dime? Their smaller size would give you greater control of the blades, and the small pair of needlenose pliers in the Dime would allow you a very firm grip on things you are working on.

This is a great video. I love the different options. Thanks Lilly!

Perfect, just need to catch the fish. I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your teachings. 👍

After watching all your videos of making primitive tools for survival. I see there is a significant amount of time to make various things someone needs for survival. Days to make a shelter. Hours of searching for the best woods to make a bow drill. Including a plow drill. Hunting a deer may take weeks or months. Small animals may be easier. But, no guarantees you will get that rabbit either. I came to the realization that if humans ever have to live as primitive humans did thousands of years ago. There's going to be a lot of people that will not survive.

I used to carry a wine cork, some fishing line and a couple of hooks. It's small and very light weight.

Thank you Lilly. Great presentation !! Well Done and always good to see you....Michigan, USA

Look forward to seeing you fish with these hooks, great job Lilly 👌

Very well done, Lilly. That is the best primitive hook I have ever seen. The constrictor knot is absolutely the best choice for that application. I prefer your toogle design.

Cool fish hooks. Congrats on 1M. Well deserved!

Great video. Entertaining. I love learning bushcraft. Crazy how some people have fun doing this stuff and other people could care less.

Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦👋👍❤️

I always find a lot of bushcraft knowledge in your videos..And one day it might save my life...Thanks...And keep up the good work

I hope I never get involuntarily lost or trapped in deep wilderness. But if that ever happens, the first thing I would do is calm myself and think, "What would Lilly do?" And if I survived, it would be because you have taught me so very much. Thank you very much!

An entirely fascinating topic. Gathering food in the wilderness doesn’t have to be an insurmountable task. ❤️👍👍👍👍👍

Looking forward to see the hooks in action.

Nice 💪

I could never make a hook small enough so I switched to small circle hooks thinking big hooks might catch big fish but small hooks catch all fish 😁

I like the first one you made of bone, as well as the third one. Seem most realistic for a survival setting. Can’t wait to practice on my own!

Such beautiful hands on such a beautiful girl. Thank you very much. Love and blessings from Ontario Canada!

Fish hooks should be part of your bug out kit. Many knives have empty compartments in them for fishing line, hooks , my kit even has some fresh water fly lures.

Perhaps the sheath of the next version of the APO-1 will include a sharpening steel or ceramic sharpening rod.

Hey Lilly, picture this. In Indiana they throw bread on the shore and when the Carp come in to get it, they hit them with a baseball bat. Never seen that before.

That "Black Locust" tree that you pointed out in this video is one of the finest woods in the world for bows. It's still Winter so the trees are low in sap making this the best time to harvest. When you harvest immediately strip the bark and apply glue onto the ends so that it does not dry too fast risking unwanted splitting. Get a nice one 4 to 6 inch across. When you are ready to carve the bow this Summer split it in quarter sections. Shave the back of the bow to the same growth ring and then cut on the sides and back last.

Looks very effective Lily. Thank you. I liked the thorn hooks the best. 👍👍♥️♥️ 🇬🇧

Good video on fishing hooks, Survival Lilly.

Great job, Lilly!

Super Idee Lilly! 👍

Remember in a survival situation make lots of fishing rods hooks bait etc... 20 fishing rods may only catch 1 fish. That is all you need each day. Catch 20 fish and you can cook all 20 and have food for 20 days. You may need to smoke the fish for long term storage.

Great stuff to know. Keep it coming.

интересно, будем ждать продолжения

Hi from Syracuse NY USA everyone thank you for sharing the facts and truth

very interesting!! thank you lilly!

You are a born teacher ❤️ Excellent job 👍

This looks like something I might actually be able to do...thanks Lily! ✌😎❤

Thank you Lilly :)

Thank you so sooo much for this tip

Cool ideas with making fish hooks . Nice job on video!!

Great video! Will file this info away just in case. Also, that poor frog was a RU-vid star but slept through the whole thing! 🐸

That's a fantastic idea lilly, love it... take care girl...

Great 👍 Vlog!

Awesome video!

I love that I could see where you used your knife as a handle for your firebow/drill! I have been curious if you've done that with the APO-1/1S.

Good video. I am looking forward to May to see what you catch. More videos like this please. 🤘🤘

Loved the video. 💖

Yay!! Something I’m proficient at: making fish hooks!! 👏❤️

Cary well done!I agree the bone hook.

Growing up on a reservation making these as a kid we would tie small lizards or larger insects to the hooks. Those little pieces of the cordage you cut off work perfect if you leave about 2”+ of the tag end. Lizard’s if you get them out far enough in the water they can’t go anywhere or get tangled up it’s an easy lunch for the fish

Love your German mess fit, kid. It's the same one I use and carry. You always impress me. I wish half the men I've gone mountaineering with knew half of what you do. Love ya kid.

Great job on the bone fishing hooks Lily I've actually seen this method used on Naked and Afraid one of the famous TV channels on TV and you've done a great job on making the bone hooks I think you'll be very effective in catching fish with it

I never thought of a goat head as a fish hook. But it could be. Goat heads are a hard thorny seed pod. They resemble a goat head with horns.

Those big hooks might be good for catfish. Burying them in some stinky meat might be enough to hide the cordage. I think the little bones will be the most effective. Can't wait for fishing season.

Very good video !!! 😁

thank you lilly that was very interesting

congrats on 1m

for me live in a small island the aegean fishing and stainles steel is very important things can rust just only from moisture

Thank you

New one for me here,never thought of this... We shock impact flat rocks in stream to temporarily render fish shock drunk before flipping.. Great Valuable video here...Wow!!!!

I'm sharing your video with my Grandsons

I've been subbed for years, totally forgot you existed because RU-vid never ever shows me a single upload. Had to search for you by name.

Believe it or not Lilly is my favorite RU-vidr but are you sure this homemade fishing hook works ?

I'd love to see those hooks in action.

1:16 you added a divot for bow drill fires 😁👍

great!

Good to know, in a survival situation.

Really good skills you have!!! Yes please post a video of these fishing hooks in action!!! I vote for the bone hook 😀 will be the winner for fish dinner!!!

Actually, you use a slack line and allow the fish to completely swallow the bait and begin to swim away. Once in the fish's stomach the toggle wedges sideways and can't pull out and you pull your fish in. If you try to pull the fish in while the bait is still in it's mouth it will likely spit it out and get away.

I'm hooked on a feeling ...

Great video, I like the bone hook.But I think any of them would work.

Good ideas thanks. When I run out of quarter sticks of dynomite I'll use those hooks.

Pretty cool now would love to see you fish for something & now would pine sap pine tar work to bind the hook together

We have a yellow locast tree here in oregon with huge thorns...is as hard n dense as oak.but is the cleanest burning wood.hardly no smoke.

Hay just wanted to congratulate you on your million sub 🤘🇺🇸

Can you do a video just about knots and how you added line to line?

It's great to see Stone Age technology being prepared like that. And I bet having them ready beforehand is useful. But I do wonder, wouldn't in an actual sudden crisis situation a trap make more sense? Not neccessarily a basket trap, just trapping the fish in an area by stacking stones and such (obviously depends on the size of the body of water we're talking about). Because the effort in finding the materials to make, and then actually make the fishhooks, and finding bait, seems to be about the same as stacking a bunch of stones that are almost certainly going to be laying around the creek anyway. And fishing takes skill, while snatching one from a restrained area seems more likely for someone without that skill. I'm sure you and most of your audience won't have that kind of problem though.

Good video

How about using a large safety pin, or several taped together for improved unbendability.

Great video! I’d love to see how to build a primitive fishing trap and how to use it.

🙌

That was awesome !.....what is your survival knife?

What knife is you using here?thanks

💗

👍👍👍

Hey Lilly I am from India I like ur videos . . .

How did the drill hole work for fire starting .

Nice tactical sweatshirt. Can you provide a brand name or manufacturer where u can get it

There is a National Geographic article in the 1970s with photos of Natives living in Alaska catching pike through the ice with pieces of moose meat tied to a piece of leather and dangled under the ice a few feet, the pike's teeth clamp on to the leather and hook themselves.

Have to search for your videos now.

with thorns it works fine

Sehr interessant... und wann wird damit auch gefischt, ob das auch wirklich funktioniert? 😄 👍🏻

👍😁👍😁

Daily reminder "Call on the Lord in the day of trouble, and he will deliver you" - Psalm 50 : 15

I saw a man catch an alligator using a baited stick, very similar to what you have made. He said it was how the Native Americans did it.

I thought Acacia trees only grew in Australia. It's summer in Australia though.
