    When I married my wife, I had an LL Bean queen size wool trapper blanket. She washed it one day. Now I have really heavy, thick, single size wool trapper blanket. But, it is warm!

    Thank you for being real. Have watched several channels, and they all devolve into commercials - touting some lame monthly "survival" subscription deal that has over priced crap. Really appreciate an honest person. Thanks again.

    The best fast and effective improvised shelter I have ever seen and used was one that my grandpa told me about.
    All you need is a poncho.
    Make a debris bed or even sit on your pack, dawn poncho, lean up against whatever.
    If you need warmth, start a small fire and boil water. Then move away from your fire spot. Place hot canteen between your legs and allow the canteen heat along with your body heat to heat your small enclosed "shelter".
    If something spooks you or if you feel the need to move. All you have to do is stand up grab your pack and move.

  • @Just_Chuck_It
    @Just_Chuck_It ปีที่แล้ว

    Love a small hatchet. So useful.
    Really should build your bed against a large stump, rock, or build a wall then have your fire with its own wall behind it to push the heat into you and then bunch off the barrier on the other side. This radiant heat will not only keep you warmer but it will allow you to have a much smaller fire and use less wood.

    I retired from the army. Now I’m taking some local survival classes.
    The last part phase 4 is 5 days knife only.
    I got time I just finished phase 2.
    But dam 5 days with only a knife and the clothes on your back.
    It’s going to be one hell of a challenge.

  • @barrycartner3855
    @barrycartner3855 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Thank you for demonstrating how minimal does not always mean a knife. I see too many videos in which the knife is the basic cutting tool. Granted it lends itself to many uses and is easier to carry; however, it also tends to infer that a knife is too important. I am reminded of Otzi the iceman's kit. A knife and an axe. We tend to focus on a knife much like focusing on a firearm. We lose sight of the axe and its multiple uses if pressed into service. So thanks for featuring the axe.

    try adding a 3 x3 firebox stove , cut 10 times less wood, boil any amount of water, and it fits in your pocket . Remember- White man builds great big fire ,stands back freezes, indian builds small fire, stays close , and stays warm.

  • @dwaynewalker986
    @dwaynewalker986 ปีที่แล้ว

    A word about Axe/Hatchet / Tomahawk for winter use.
    When temperatures remain below freezing over time the moisture in wood will freeze.
    Trying to cut frozen wood with a knife isn't easy.
    In my opinion.....Axe / Hatchet / Tomahawk is still King of the Woods no matter what season .
    Have a way to re-sharpen , and always work on an improvised anvil when possible.
    P.S.- Most of the little stuff that was cleared off the trees and limbs could have been hammered off with the poll.

  • @eyeofthetiger4184
    @eyeofthetiger4184 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    G'day Andrew, what I particularly like about "5" vids, is that it pushes the boundaries of the selected 5 and as a result, forces one to think outside the box. If you have more items, well and good, apply the same logic to those too. Being winter specific, I'm surprised no tarp, but I guess you do have the tools and natural resources, (and perhaps trash), to build a shelter, so fair enough mate. Cheers Duke.

    I had already been watching your videos when Corporal's Corner refered me to tour Channel. One thing CC does is look for a branch that has one straight tine and two oblique tines on either side of the straight and use it like a broom to sweep leaves. For small areas using your foot works also.

    Recently I had to spend an unexpected night in hospital. The ward was full and they couldn't admit me until the doctor had seen me the following morning. So they took me down into a quiet unused dark corridor, put a clean sheet on a guerney and a pillow with s clean pillow case. And an rather old woolen blanket. I can't remember when I slept more warmly or confortably.

    Nice Roycroft frame. I always lash on another 8-10” horizontal stick about 8” down from the top of the frame. That way I can easily use my ridgeline as the lashing for the blanket/tarp by going around the tips of all 4 points and not using the top except for the shoulder straps.

    I think I would leave the hatchet at home and take a good WWII entrenching tool. I can think of a lot more uses for that and if I did break the handle it can easily be replaced. I can break the ice with a rock and do everything else with one sharp edge on the entrenching tool.

    hey Andrew I live way south pass the border were the winter is not harsh at all, but temps could drop down to the 20’s, I find more useful in my case a chopper rather than a hatchet maybe because machetes are widely use here and I feel more comfortable with that kind of tool something like the gerber golok or tops el chete, one thing I definitely will try is the pot, great videos, keep them coming!
