Mike, you really need to do a "surviving in the wild for a week challenge" Think about it, you know how to fish with natural resources, you know how to find and identify safe food in the forest and you know how to make fire. Im sure you could learn a couple more skills to prepare for it so maybe a 2 part series. DO IT
A problem with his ‘Average Mike’ series now is that he has learnt so many skills and gotten so quick at picking up new skills that he is no longer ‘average.’
That may be true. But the key is that he will still run into the SAME mistakes as a beginner; that's more valuable to learn than simply the time it takes.
he was average from the begining, he was an avereage person once and he is showing you can do these things but i see what you're saying. kinda true tbh
@ERPS Gaming what do yo mean no he didn't? They legit gave you a time stamp. Here have a picture of the hands i.imgur.com/sTnYuzG.png They look normal which is why he didn't make a big show of them. But for real, what the hell causes a person to straight up deny reality. "No he didn't" bitch. You a fucking ostrich or something? get your head out of the sand.
I tried for like 10mn a day or less, and one month later i could write slowly but rightly. Now (6months later), my left hand writing is almost as good as my right hand one, and i didnt try hard, so i think it is too easy for him 😂

"Where there's smoke, there's fire... Yeah, that a lot of booushit!" :) I like the persistence and comedy! Very fun to watch. I'll be sure to add my frustration in some of my videos ! :)
He broke my heart every time he checked if it was warm because every time he stops he goes back a lot with the progression. And another thing it would be a good idea to put a bit of tender at the bottom of your progress because it makes it easier to catch fire
Its gonna be cool... For him. What will we watch? A middle aged man just repeating the same thing till he memorizes it its not content m8. Think about the views
This to remember with the rotating stick "friction method" is you have to put something underneath to get the burning wood embers, such as a leaf, and make sure to have your tinder bundle ready already because you will have to transfer the embers to it very quickly. Just like Mike had, near the end of the video! And do NOT stop the instant you first start seeing smoke! that's when you keep going!!! You wait until it's REALLY smoking, then you can check for a pile of embers. :) And do not work yourself too hard trying to do it, because you might sweat, which can lead to hypothermia when you're in a survival situation, and also will use up calories you'll have to find food to replace, to keep yourself going to do all the things you need to , to survive. Or hike. Or whatever. :)
I love your videos mate, very inspiring. Some suggestions for you: 1. Learn to make cordage (string, rope). Use your made cordage to revisit the bow drill 2. Learn to make a forge via only natural/gathered materials 3. Learn to find iron ore 4. Learn to make your own axe/knife using only natural/gathered materials in your made forge. Light the forge using the bow drill and your crafted cordage 5. Learn to make a shelter and attempt an overnight camping trip using only your crafted equipment 6. Learn to ride a horse 7. Learn to fly a paramotor 8. Learn to base jump Just some suggestions, gluck!
Handstand touggghh. But he can totally do it. If he can muscle up he can work up the handstand. But he’s gotta do the fold up handstand not the kick up.
My assumption is that you used the same stick multiple times. This decreases the friction between the stick and the wood since you are grinding down the tip. Try switching each try with a new stick and hole and rough up the the tip of the stick to increase friction. Pretty sure that tip wouldve saved you like 9 days lol
