In order to make any fire work you need to understand the fire triangle. Matches, lighter, ferro rod are all just ignition sources aka 'heat'. You could go with a titanium single wall water bottle to reduce weight even more. Aluminium can melt on open fire. But I agree these are the most important items for a stay in the bush. To prevent from getting lost in the first place or getting found quickly when lost I suggest a compass and a loud whistle.

that dog is the notch

Good video thanks

My grandson says he feels like he is cheating when he uses a lighter or matches. A good knife and it really does need to be a fixed blade knife . I’m not a big fan of Tom Brown trackers just not my cup of tea.

What is your chest pack?

ALL KNIVES ARE SURVIVAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adding a 3-5 ounce compass could be very useful. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

"Down and Dirty" is right. Excellent information, 5/5. Way too much hand gesticulation 1/5. Pretty poor camera coverage, couldn't see half of what you were doing 2/5. Awesome sound quality 5/5. The scripting could be improved, a lot of repetitive statements 2/5. I like your tone and delivery 5/5. I'm now a subscriber and look forward to new and improved videos!

I’m waiting for someone to to a video for people who don’t wear cargo pants everyday. I wear a suit 6 days a week.

So true. I would ad a SAK, it covers so much bases at once. I have mine since 1992, it was always a trusted piece of gear that never failed me.

The secret 😂 5 C's. Cash, Credit Card, Cell Phone, Charger, and a contact who knows your plans.

Your flying saucer is producing humming sounds. ^^

Skills trumps gear everytime. You can give an individual a backpack full of survival gear and they would give up within a week max (hot or cold).

Cellphone.

I can take a leaf and make a whistle best natural material is a blade of grass

Thank you for choosing and encouraging these 3. Ranger Survival of Pathfinder recently put out a video choosing blade, container and cordage. His content is great but THAT list was horrible IMHO. He's among the greats but that one was a mistake. I can make cordage way easier than fire. My list in order: Fire Knife Container Cover Cordage Light Cloth

THANKS

Love the setup. What kind of bag is that you are carrying? Liked the video!

Really nice knife!!!!

Very true … kiss theory Keep It Simple Stupid ! Best tool is the knowledge and how to use it in many situations.

I agree with you 💯. Put in the dirt time... learn your gear... skills are the lightest gear you can carry!

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great tip mate ✌🏻

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLD ON HERE AT THE START! You say it's 100 degrees, you are trying to balance the video light, and you don't want to get stroke? Then SHOW us your skills! Rig the tarp ABOVE yourself, for heat protection, and then commence the show and tell.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! ALL of you "prepare advisors", STOP stating "72 Hours". Tell people THREE DAYS!!! Most people today don't wear a watch. They can't know, count ahead 72 hours. THREE DAYS!! MORE THAN THE WEEKEND!!!

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good basic video! I, too, like bank line but I also recently got some Kevlar 300 lb. cord so I can carry 30 feet in my watch pocket under my SAK. EDC. Works as a saw, too!

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are just an average woodsman as your title says, why should I listen to you? I would prefer to listen to someone who is much better than average. Thank you.

Do yourselves an enormous favor. Add 1000 calories of energy bars and tobacco if you use it. Don't go nuts or be miserable.
