The pencil sharpener tip is brilliant. So simple. Gave me one of those "why did I never think of that before" moments. And the log carrier/clothes line is a great one as well.
I absolutely love this content. In these times of absolute madness, going out in nature is one of the only ways you can truly feel at peace. Might as well practice bushcraft while out there, and there's always a steady stream of nice ideas coming from here.
If ever sadness or anxiety overcomes you, go to the forest. Open your eyes wide and in every tree, in every bush, flower or animal you will see God's providence, which will give you comfort and strength.
I am a born and raised city boy, with very little survival experience (outside of an urban environment). But this is all such useful and practical information, and it inspires an urge to head into the woods; to discover some dormant ancient wisdom and skills that my ancestors knew well enough to get me here. I may not (yet) be a survivalist, but after binging several of your videos, I’m definitely a subscriber. Great stuff man. Cheers!
I will warn you, if you try this. Finding a piece of ground that is perfectly uniform at all 3 points can be difficult. If one of the pegs is on a small root, you may find it tips over when adding weight as the stakes are driven further under ground. Or the ground may just be too soft at all. Source: I tried to build my own camp stove and disliked using tent stakes
i dont think it was his idea lol a few of these things are in the videos of alfie aesthetics. i think mike watches him. cant blame him, alfie is a bushcraft guru.
If ever sadness or anxiety overcomes you, go to the forest. Open your eyes wide and in every tree, in every bush, flower or animal you will see God's providence, which will give you comfort and strength.
I feel like I learn something new every time I watch a TA OUTDOORS video. If nothing new learned at least u give me something new to think about or contemplate or improve what I already practice. Great job
This is amazing work. But what people may not realize is the extremely hard work of filming it all. Camera setup. Filming a movie. Then you go back to pick up your camera and clean myself up again. And then edit it all together. I myself have recently started making videos about bushcraft, so I really understand how hard it is. A beautifully made video shows that you really love what you do. Greetings from Belarus!
When using a bow drill put a few pieces of sand in the bowl. This increases friction, and produces a bit of wood dust, and that causes the fire to start quicker. I love the pencil sharpener.
I have just started kayaking and wild camping in the UK and am learning so much from you. As a complete beginner its a good job im never too far away from civilization!! In the future i hope to expand my adventures. Keep up the excellent content.
If you are using a sack, I strongly suggest sewing along each to strengthen the bottom and sides with a simple overcast stitch wrapping over the edge. It stops the contents or rough ground wearing or cutting through the sack material. We used to do this with farm sacks many years ago and any tough natural twine will do it. Dont use man made twine or it will cut the natural sack fibres.
100% one of the reasons I watch this channel. Thank you for the information. Your amazing. I wish I could backpack with you either over there or here in Michigan.
I absolutely love this guy and his family do in shelters teaching us new things new ways to get back in contact with nature Would love to see you go out in the forest maybe without any tools and you a survival challenge or something
videos like this make it more obvious we need to all work as a collective race, and share knowledge of all things. some great lil tips here for sure. thank you for the time.
I love these videos so much! Especially when they are a day before my birthday! But have you ever considered taking part of a survival show like Alone?
The pencil sharpener is a great idea, I've used them in my kit for years. But what I find most useful is one of those sharpeners that are made inside their own reservoir to hold the shavings. On a hot, dry day I'll take a bone dry twig and shave it down until the reservoir is filled to the top with shavings. Nice, dry, ready to spark shavings! A good way to carry some extra tinder.
I usually carry burlap sac with me...they are very useful wrapped around your shoes to go through slippery terrain, namely rocky river crossings...the grip improves significantly!
Man..I have seen so many "survival/camping tips" videos with similar titles like yours..but yours is the best by far and saying far I mean exoplanetary far!!You obviously have the experience and deliver exactly what you say in the title..amazing video and great tips..excellent my friend..well done..I will definitely be your follower..all the best!!!
Nice! Quick, thorough, and well explained information delivered to our door with the fat trimmed off. Perfectly to the point and perfectly demonstrated visually. Condenced information refined and defined.
Loving these 10 in 10 deliveries marra 👍 Hessian sacks also a pillow substitute, prefilter for water and a strip cut off can make a bandage to secure a gauze.
Your story so inspiring, grew up as a fisherman without internet, but now more people know you because internet, agree with your statement "when someday nomore internet or TH-cam at least you have memory with your dad's shoulders" 👍
Hey don't forget to pack along a bag of Laundry lint out of the drier when you roll up those nice warm clothes from the laundry. That way you can have a super easy way to Stay warm out in the Woodlands.. dry warm clothes and a quick kindle 🔥 for the camp. Enjoy!😀
Great video my friend. As always. I would love to know how many people are now thinking, "damn, why didn't I think of that"? I've spent many hours over countless trips, chasing my tarp from the wind, all the while never once thinking about securing it to my pack!!! That's why I enjoy yours, and a few other' channels. No matter how old we are, or how much time we have spent in the wilds, there is always one more thing to learn. Thanks for sharing. Be well. Be safe. Happy trails.🪓🛶 From Colorado, Roger
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Sincere thanks for sharing the many vital outdoor tips. All the best to you for your good health and safety. 🤗
Hi Mike. Great tip in this Video, I really like the tent pegs and grill and had never thought how useful a pencil sharpener is when out Bush crafting, great video as usual.... keep um coming . Cheers Ian
Timberjack tool is like a big pencil sharperner it cuts a mortis one and one half inches and a 1 1/2 drill to make fences and log furniture there is also 2 inch model and a stump vice the 1 1/2 and drill is 75 dollars US Lumberjack . Your pencil sharperner made me think of this and your woodland project could use one you would need a large drill 3/4 or the biggest cordless model . Great video
The tent pegs for the grill is a good idea but with an extra peg to make 4 in total your warning about the edges being unstable would be taken care of with virtually no extra weight or space used .
Greetings! The pencil sharpener idea is really ingenious, paired with the tip that it can be a great and safe introduction to children into firemaking! Keep it up!!
If ever sadness or anxiety overcomes you, go to the forest. Open your eyes wide and in every tree, in every bush, flower or animal you will see God's providence, which will give you comfort and strength.
Here's a Tip: look up what a Buddy Burner is. It's a great style of portable easy campfire that you make with rolled up cardboard soaked in wax and shove the roll into a metal container. Well after you make it you can keep filling it with chunks of hard wax while it's burning and it will last you for agessss literally ages. It takes forever to burn down and all you need is to carry a significant amount of wax with you. One huge thick candle cut into small pieces to can fuel your fire for 6 hours non stop very easy, provided your buddy burner is the size of a tuna can or similar. I make them tea light candles (with cardboard rolls 2x taller than the metal rim) and they last 6 hours if I keep feeding, to have campfires in the woods in the park near a lake for just enjoying my night before riding my electric bike back home. It's the easiest way to make a campfire if you live a city where campfires are not allowed as you're not burning wood but are burning wax. It's basically a candle so cops are cool with it mostly and should be fine. Make sure to never pour water in it when it's burning though, as it creates an explosion of napalm burning wax splattering everywhere basically. Be very careful with that. It's reusable so super good for campfires.
If you have a hessian sack run a little bathroom silicone along the seams to strengthen and support the sewing. Because of its open weave hessian's stitching can fray out very easily. Also, oversee and _then_ smear the silicone on. Silicone is very useful to waterproof small wear points and repairs.
Great job on the videos, can you tell us what brand and size of material that you made plow point shelter? It looks light weight unlike oil tarps. I would recommend as you use gear, to tell us the brand and give some affilate links so the bushcraft community can support you by buying products you recommend. Best to you and your family.
Just noticed this video. Lol 10 tip in 10 min, 10 days ago... 10 X 10 X 10..... Thank you for the videos, both you and your dad's channels are really good. Tight lines!
The use of a pencil sharpener is such a simple, yet effective piece of equipment for starting a fire where I live. I have never thought of it before. Thank you.
Awesome video mate 👍🏻 I’m new to your channel and working my way through your videos but I’m absolutely hooked and totally inspired to get stuck into my own bushcraft journey. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and I can’t wait to see more content 👍🏻😁
It's a bit of a faff but a double plow point where the left side of one overlaps the right side of the other can be an extremely good shelter if you carry two tarps. The only issue is you have to reduce weight elsewhere so I learned how to make very effective tent pegs out of wood.
You have blown my mind with the pencil sharpener good sir. Just the other day I've thrown one out, altough it had a plastic body, not really a bushcraft tool that one...
The pencil sharpener tip is brilliant. So simple. Gave me one of those "why did I never think of that before" moments. And the log carrier/clothes line is a great one as well.
I agree, the pencil sharpener is a great idea I've been using one for over 50+ years and it's been a life saver. Cheers form the mountains of NZ 😁😁
Yeah seriously smart
Mike you are my hero I am going through a really depressing time right now and youre videos are helping me so much ❤️ love your videos
Me too man! Stay strong and stay safe ✌️
@@brendanoneill6267 I will man stay strong
Strenght for you mate❤
Keep the head up man, it'll get better 👌
Stay strong. There is always people to help and care even if you don’t think so.
I absolutely love this content. In these times of absolute madness, going out in nature is one of the only ways you can truly feel at peace. Might as well practice bushcraft while out there, and there's always a steady stream of nice ideas coming from here.

This is the way...
If ever sadness or anxiety overcomes you, go to the forest. Open your eyes wide and in every tree, in every bush, flower or animal you will see God's providence, which will give you comfort and strength.
Still one of the best bushcraft/outdoor channels on youtube, and a much needed distraction to what's otherwise been a pretty grim day

I have to disagree with the urge I would die from bugs but yea cool vudei
Brilliant idea with the tent pegs for the grill. So obvious of a choice but yet not something I never thought of doing. Thanks.
I will warn you, if you try this. Finding a piece of ground that is perfectly uniform at all 3 points can be difficult. If one of the pegs is on a small root, you may find it tips over when adding weight as the stakes are driven further under ground. Or the ground may just be too soft at all.

Leave the tent pegs at home, four rocks work just as good or better. Your welcome.
i dont think it was his idea lol a few of these things are in the videos of alfie aesthetics. i think mike watches him. cant blame him, alfie is a bushcraft guru.
Bing bong and Thank You! Gonna try some of these out next time. I'll update you with any cheers.
Instead of tent pegs I use 3 12 inch shelf l brackets they fit great into my haversack
I love setting up a plough point tarp shelter. Keeping it ready like that in a pocket of your pack is such great idea!
If ever sadness or anxiety overcomes you, go to the forest. Open your eyes wide and in every tree, in every bush, flower or animal you will see God's providence, which will give you comfort and strength.
The day just got a lot better

Is Putin still there??
The first tip about the Plow Point shelter is pure, simple genius...Keep up the great work.

Mike i'm an intermediate camper and a lot of these were brand new ideas to me. I love them. Your presentation is so appealing and clear. Thanks!
When I get depressed, I always go for a bushcraft camping night in the woods. And your videos help me so much. God bless you!
This video is extremely well made in all aspects. Very professional, keep up the good work. It's very appreciated.
Can you do a video on useful bushcraft knots, I wood love to learn different knots. lovely video by the way.

I’m going on my first big camping trip next year, and these tips are so valuable and I’m so gratified I found this channel!

The 10 tips in ten minutes are are great addition to the old progs but please don't stop your longer ones!
5:02 it might help a bit to have the logs lined up with the flow of wind( I noticed that the smoke was going over the logs instead of through them)
That last tip you seemed to be overwhelmed by ants in your work area. Great content as always, love the way you are able to calmly explain concepts.
I am a teacher and I love using your videos in class. My students love them
Brilliant tips Mike. Great to see that burlap sack on a pole ( I hadn't seen this portrayed in many years). Nice use of those tent pegs. ❤

The area in the forest where you live in the trees is so wonderful
Another awesome video !
