Yessss more videos! I really love the 72+ hour DUO challenges you guys do! Need more of those
Brilliant! Looking forward to seeing the roundhouse again.
Awesome work guys love your vids keep up the great work.
Julian. . I expect better from you regarding starting a fire. You have more practise then me. Hehehe. Luckely you had some fatwood to save the night. Still love your guys content
I think next time try using a y branch and cordage to remove bottle out of the hot coals. One side of the bottelneck you put the Y of the branch and with cord attached basicly "snare" the bottle neck tightly against the y branch
I love that you didn’t reveal what was in the kit UNTIL the moment when you suddenly needed it! Suspenseful editing!
Imagine if youd had a third friend running the competition and when you showed up, he made you give your bottles to each other. Bottle switch on day one. Who can survive better on what the other person packed?
woow what a great idea
You have a wonderfully evil mind....i like it
Devious!!! Love that!!! LoL!!!
Haha Julianvwould win Dylan always packs better, Julian is more about showing more exotic methods.
Two wonderful long videos on one weekend to kick off the Smooth Gefixt summer.
I like how Dylan thought about outmatching Julius and still had longterm goal in mind, when assembling his bottle. Julius in the meantime continued to flirt with the fire. It was really a bummer, you did not catch any fish. But everyone should be happy, because we got to see Jäger eating.
I was scared Julius was going to cook himself wrapped up in foil like a Christmas turkey, then he said he put the fire out, phew! a real good effort on the worm charming J, Dylan's oats & lentils were a good plan, great mini series guys, thanks 😊
just for fun im going to see what i can fit in a bottle for an experiment
It's so good to see you guys producing videos again. I always enjoy them and have missed them terribly here in Athens, Alabama in the United States.
Nice to hear man! All the best!
@@SmoothGefixt my best to you guys.
Ricky I live in North Carolina!
@@jerrydineen2827 Ah a wonderful state. My editor lives there and sends me photos of local areas.
Fair play for sticking at your fire Julius and for your comments on fire safety. It’s so refreshing to see how much you guys care about the environment you operate in. Way better than a lot of other camping/outdoors channels. Big respect from Dublin.
Thanks Jonny. Still have to be more attentive in practice next time;)
I really appreciated what you said around 9:35. Here in California, that tiny fire could have ended up burning down half the state. I hope everyone will continue to be cognizant about how/where they build their fires.
Felix is such a great crafter!
He is!:)
Awesome to see you return your spots back to like you weren't there. Leave no trace, and fully use anything you take from the land.
Swear every challenge they do together Julius always pokes his head in Dylan's spot to see his progress and his ideas.. yet on the other hand Dylan is happy chilling in his spot and doesn't leave it haha. Bless Julius he's a funny guy, like a kid at christmas most the time! lol.. Always great content from you both, keep it up! :>
Haha, thanks man!
@@SmoothGefixt Respect!
Your channel has improved dramatically. Great job to your success.
Thanks man! :)
You know what's great to see the most of all is one helping another in tough times.
i love the funny woots every time they cuss thx for the vid its so cool
Watching this again and realising what a banger of a video it is!
you guys are amazing...you make us laugh a lot...we enjoy your different personalities...really liked the summoning of the worms...loved the new music by your subscriber
The excitement I felt at the return of the battery fire😂 that knife is awesome! Thanks for the great work and dedication, we appreciate the insane effort going into these.👍
great stuff love seeing the beautiful dog doing his dog things
Very relaxing to watch before bed, thanks.
I like the funny audio edits of smoot and fixt spread randomly through the video.
Thanks guys, this was amazing and cheered me up no end. All the best to both of you.
So cool, the „leave no trace” you did rl impressive👌🏻✌🏻
Wait....what a treat...though u guys were going to post the part2...next friday...Really enjoying these videos👍💕
So good to see your filming and playing/working again. I've really missed your antics!
Lovely location. Nice to watch your videos again.
I've waiting eagerly for part 2!
Excited for the roundhouse videos!
Keep it up guys
Cheers
defnitely the best 1v1 episode so far imo. Briliant idea with the bootle challenge, two different tactics for the schelter etc. Love watch your videos. Keep it up guys!
Woo-hoo. Great job guys
well done gentlemen and Jaeger
and thanks fpr bringing us along
Yaaassss! My favourite, the 1v1 challenges! Great work gents 👍🔥
You guys are the best bushcrafters on YT. The real deal and down to earth. This gives me an idea for a similar challenge to do and upload on my channel. Cheers.
you two are a hoooooot! I have a lot more of your stuff to go.
Julius summoning worms is the funniest thing I've seen all week 😂 unlucky with the battery fire julius! 3rd times the charm
Julius the Worm Summoner! :D Top lad!!
Great to see you folks back!
I had a really bad experience with heating rocks once, by picking the wrong kind.
I put a few chunks of slate into a fire to let them warm up and keep the heat longer than the amount of fuel I had. But they must have been too flaky, and must have had water penetrated into them, because after about half an hour they exploded and sent shards of slate all over the place. The fire fuel all burst up and scattered too.
Thankfully this was all just in a barbeque pit on a patio area outside a holiday cottage, so no chance of starting a forest fire - but I'll be far more careful in future!
yay part 2 ... BTW i'm pretty sure 18650 batteries are lithium ion so will have some short-circuit protection , as you said always have a plan B ( and a plan C for something as important as fire making )
I know this is a late comment, but I have just discovered this fantastic video series guys! Seems like a reoccurring problem is the water boiling containers being too damn hot to move from the fireside. Simple fix for you. Take two sticks and make essentially a pair of nanchucks out of them. Wet the cord, flip it over the jar/bottle and cinch the jar quickly then remove before the cord catches fire. Now, it would also be smart to test for the proper cord length between the sticks before you have a jar of boiling water to deal with. Imagine it as using the cord to confirm and grip around the back of the container while the sticks grip the sides and also create tension. That would be 3 sides of contact---more than enough to move the container. Anyway, great series, will be watching them all.
Great couple of posts, looking forward to the roundhouse.😁
Top Video!
Another great one!! Loved it guys!!
I love this idea. Keep making fun videos!❤
That worm summoning stick was hilarious. I was amazed that it (sort of) worked & now I have to try it.
Nice video! A little trick for your water bottle toggle, tie the line off-center. It makes it easier to remove when it is hot.
Great video and really beautiful intro guys!
Very cool scenario! Keep it up!
Greetings to ireland!
Thank you for your videos , I take a lot of pleasure to watch it!!
I thought I was going to have to wait until next Friday for Part 2. What a pleasant surprise. Keep it up boys!
So happy that I found your channel. Awesome content! Excited to see new videos
Great video. I really like this format. I learned a few tricks from your video. I had the same problem with a rechargeable lithium ion battery from a flashlight. Some of those batteries have a protection circuit built into them that shuts the power off when they short circuit. I bet that is why it didn't work. I have found that the firefly ferro rod works better if you plant the teeth of the saw in the tinder and drag the ferro rod across the spine. That is how firefly recommends that it is used. Keep up the good videos.
YES PART 2!!! I wish I could watch new episodes everyday
That frog lure is epic :D :D
It’s great to see you guys back. 🤙🤙
Nice one, so excited 😊🇮🇪
been watching for ages , i had to subscribe . keep up the great work. really enjoy the competitive between you,
You guys gave me some great ideas for an emergency kit for the car, as well as our evacuation pack. I was going to put a small cooking pot in a 5 gallon pail, in which I am putting home prepared dehydrated meals. But now I think I will add a stainless steal bottle instead. If there is room maybe I will put both in.
Love you guys - I like the modest approach you take and have good tips without pretending to be bear grills. I'm working my way through your videos. PEACE and take care about nature! 🙂
Amazing! Thank you!
Great show.
Great video guys. 👍
The battery you tried to use was an 18650 which is usually a lithium cell of some sort and the reason you couldn't get it to work is that they often have a protection circuit in them to stop them shorting and it's a good thing to as they can explode when shorted so you it may have saved you from a nasty burn.
Mmmh, that's some intresting input there! Thanks
22:50 what a sick shot+
Skunked on the fishing every time! Haha. Really enjoyed this
@@rakkatazz3739 oh yes lol I remember that now. Did Julius throw it back or just lose his grip on it?
Julius and struging to make fire, name a more iconic duo
Great video gents. Maybe try cane poles or something like that pretty simple to make.
Epic guys!
I really liked the Idea, but I also think that you would survive one day even without food. Why not making it like 3 days with both of you one bottle but you're working together. So you can pack the bottles with more structure. I really would love to see more Videos of you soon!
Repeats of these would be awesome! To see what would you do differently
Don't know if it is new, or I'm just now noticing it, but I love the music additions. If y'all ever want some Irish or Scottish Bagpipes let me know, be happy to send you something.
That was a cool idea for a challenge and a really great film. Was good to check in with you lads again and see you both doing your thing. I did a 5 item challenge in the Lake District mountains a couple of weeks back and like you said 24 hrs isnt much of a challenge but you always learn something 🙂👍. Great stuff lads and brilliant to see how well you're doing with the subscriber numbers.
Cheers lads, atb Rick n Billydog
Always love your survival challenge
A ferro-rod add on for a Swiss army might be my favorite thing you can add to one, Swiss Army knives are so cool lol
Worm summoner!! Haha… Reminds me of Dune.
AWESOME!
Amazing, part two 😁
23:18 very interesting rock Julius on which you are sitting, especially these recesses on surface.
I think you should both get one of those ready made survival tins exactly the same. Them see the different approaches you would have with the same gear.
Lol! He did bring a survival blanket!
Thank you I love watching you guys. You're like a couple of furry, forest fairies... as opposed to trolls ;)
Where are the fish and frogs? Do you have crawdads there? More please!
Another high quality video lads, well done 💯👍
Dope video!!!
When i saw the battery coming out i immediately was like "oh here comes Julius macGuyver again with the battery and the foil" One of these days Julius, you will actually get the fire burning with a battery i'm sure :) Keep at it.
Great episode again!
Edit: It looks like the worm summoning stick can work, but i think you should put the stick deeper in the ground so that it vibrates further into the soil. As a child i used a similar tactic with a pitchfork and that never disappointed, but the fork went in a whole lot deeper than your stick.
Both the battery foil trick and the worm summoner should get a chance to redeem themselves in a future episode.
God I missed you guys haha that battery bit killed me
Julius - A little square of char cloth would have been the ticket for getting your fire started! :)
That sweet fro though!!
Awesome guys! 39.37 mins lol.."biszhnesh"
Keep the content man love watching
Haha I've used that method to gather worms but we just put a fork (or pitchfork) the ground and tap and wiggle it. It's a lot less prep. Even dancing or tapping your feet can work; several animals use this behavior to catch worms.
Zag de tweede video and metteen lid geworden. Good job guys.
very good very cool
I really enjoyed this video!👍🏻
Splendid video again.
That headlamp is very nice. I have the same one. I got it since december, used it pretty often and only had to charge it 2 times until this day.
I'm looking forward to the new roundhouse episodes.
Thanks! Yes very happy with it aswell!
Wire wool and fire steels go well together
Nice jacket Dylan, Austrian army field jacket. got the same one.
SmooOoOt!
G'fixt
New survival challenge: survive with only what you have in your pockets when you see this challenge.
That's litterally nothing, atm 😂
@@SmoothGefixt gunna be a good challenge then :p
33:07 Dylan is like: Oh maaaan! WHAT IS HE DOING!?! 😂
Julius, had you fluffed up that grass/Reed material first it would have probably taken a spark but would have taken with the fatwood fibres had they been IN the tinder bundle, plus starting the fire in the place you intend to have the fire is always a good idea. Dylon, had you laid a couple of small tree trunks either side of your leaf bed they would have held the leaves in place better keeping a reasonable thickness. Just a few little tips, hope they help lad's. Good video, atvb to you both. Paul.
Use the fatwood to begin with it saves you a hundred strikes on that tiny ferorod, and when you get first flame put more fatwood on, "that's why you brought it!"
Summoning worms 😄😄
I used a handline with a piece of found styrofoam as bobber and worms and corn kernels as bait in a small pond two weeks ago and caught 7 small carp in a matter of a few hours. Quite tasty as well
