@@FelixImmler Me and Connie are doing fine. After doing the video channel for 12 years we were getting a bit burned out. So we decided to take a break. We may or may not be done making videos. We will just have to see what the future holds.
I'm not sure what sort of game animals that you have were you live (where do you live exactly, BTW), but in the US we hunt several species of deer as well as bear, elk, moose and wild pigs. Those are heavy animals that can weigh between 70 kg and 700 kg and are often lifted in the air to field dress, age and butcher, sometimes it's all done in the field. A pulley system like this would be very useful for that task. We also go off into the woods on four wheeled ATVs and motor bikes and get ourselves into trouble by thinking "I can make it through that, no problem". The ability to construct a system like this could be very handy for when we are wrong. LOL I can see this being very useful when constructing larger more permanent structures in the woods as well. Another winner for team Immler!
Excellent video! Bushcraft/survival uses for pulley & pulley systems: 1. Lower container to get water without leaning or reaching over where drop to water level is considerable or footing is too slippery. 2. Raise food container to height where bear can't reach it. 3. Build/access elevated platform shelter: raise platform, fireplace and shelter building materials without danger of being pulled over or fatigue 4. Use counterweight to automatically raise trapped food animal too high for fox, coyote, wolf, bear, etc to eat it before you get it. Use basket at top to shield from birds. 5. Use counterweight to help climb repeatedly to access elevated location ( ensure separate safety line to prevent uncontrolled descent) 6. Use pulley system to haul improvised boat on to beach or launch into water 7. Use pulley system to drag large game animal from difficult/ unsafe location/ position to process location 8. Use pulley to draw bowstring on heavy improvised crossbow, use pulley to assemble crossbow, use pulleys as crossbow components 9. Use pulley for fishing or fish trap rig
What a very useful, well thought-out idea for making a pulley for use in bushcrafting, with just a swiss army knife! Felix, you never cease to amaze me. Thank you for all the inspiration you keep giving us. Much love and best wishes, Wendi 🌻
Thank you! I'm a very small female. I'm going to make a couple of these and use them to stack hay bales in the barn while my husband recovers from surgery. I have difficulty stacking more than three bales high :) What a fun project!
Now THIS is very useful on so many levels! Scaled up, it might even help with simple rescues! I'd bet it could be very helpful in making tree houses, too - thank you for another excellent video, Felix! 😀
Watching your show is like going to a science class and I learned so much without having to go any place.Please continue so I continue learning. Thanks my friend
@@FelixImmler I appreciate all of your videos they are so wonderfor learning and entertainment. You've got it all and I so enjoy You and your presentations
One of these days, we r gonne get a notification for a video, titled 'how to build a 2 story house and all the furniture with just a swiss army knife'... Ur ingenuity is impressive sir.
Hallo Felix. Du bist ein absoluter Künstler. Das ist wieder ein richtig schönes Projekt geworden. Ich habe auch schon an so ein Video gedacht. Das hast du sehr gut umgesetzt. Schön dich zu sehen. Liebe Grüße aus Thüringen.
VEJO QUE FUNCIONA. MAS AS CORDAS SÃO MUITO FINAS E NÃO CONSEGUI VER COMO SÃO INTERLIGADAS NAS POLIAS. MOSTRE UM DIAGRAMA NO VIDEO OU NA DESCRIÇÃO. GOSTEI MUITO DA IDEIA. VOU TER QUE PROCURAR MAIS INFORMAÇÃO SOBRE POLIAS.
Brilliant idea!.....Each video i watch reminds me how useful my SAK Huntsman is...... In the hands of a true innovative genius like yourself, the possibilities are limitless! Thank you & God Bless!...
Pulley systems are a blast to play with. I like your version better than store bought, which are very expensive. For even more fun add a double pulley system to the end you are pulling, just remember it takes an enormous amount of rope. Thanks for sharing Felix.
I have a small strong all-metal pulley in my pack already tied to one end of my main cordage. If nothing else it lets me cast a line over a high branch quickly and it's rated for a 100k load. If the weight bothers you lighter versions are made.
It took me a while to understand - All I need to be happy is a Swiss Army knife and a smile - lovely weekend to you Felix - Amazing project THANK YOU VERY MUCH - see yoy at your next video 🌲
felix, du bist so ein freak! positiv gemeint! ich liebe deine videos und ideen. super erklärt mit kontext und alles sehr hilfreich und unterhaltsam! thank you!
Hmm, you can’t get away from physics, ever! Even in the forest away from the rest of the world physics still rule what you do. Thanks Felix, brilliant video as always. Les in UK
Thanks for another great and inspiring video! I'm going to camp with my Cub Scouts this weekend. I usually don't get enough down time to get crafting as a leader but you never know, maybe this time I will :D
Tolles Video für unsere Schulkinder mal Physik anders zu begreifen. Es wäre schön wenn Du die Messer mit Link nennen würdest. Danke Sir für Deine Bemühungen, Deine Videos aind einfach klasse.
I hearby dub thee Felix DaVinci. Great piece of engineering with our favorite multitool. This video helped solve a mechanical problem. Thank you for the inspiration and creativity.
Could be very useful to build a log cabin or platform on trees so you can lift all the items, tools and wood logs you need up there effortlessly. Thank you so much for all your interesting videos and your channel Felix. You have, in my opinion, the best and most ingenious TH-cam channel about general bushcraft we can find. And all that with only your imagination and a Swiss army knife. Again, thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with everyone on here. 👍👍👍
Very inventive Felix! You always have great ideas I look forward to your videos every friday. I think a Good Friday video would be to improvise a clamp system or wooden vise for doing your projects with. Just a thought. Thanks again for your continued inspirations!
I made one of these using my Leatherman a couple of months ago. While I love my SAK I find that the extra bit of capability from the Leatherman is sufficient that I prefer to carry it most of the time. That said, I love my little red pocket knife almost as much.
Love it i always caried pulleys in my buggy . Them and a woodjack , come alongs will get you out of anywhere, but. Never thought to cut a set like that . Good show. Great idea. Thank you.
Another useful and cool video, but I would try to add some lard/grease/oil on surfaces between the wheel and the stick to reduce friction. When you hear the high pitch dry-wood against dry-wood sound, then it is a good indication that some lard can help :)
Awesome video. I love the intersection between bushcraft and engineering, because 1) it's a ton of fun to play with contraptions like this and 2) it may not seem too useful in a typical bushcraft temporary survival situation, but it will be extremely useful in a long-term one that isn't just about surviving but about thriving. So far your channel is one of the very few I've found (Advoko makes is also cool) that covers this intersection. Keep up the amazing work!
HI! I wanted to tell you about a customization that I invented, I discovered that under the screwdriver near the magnifying glass in the swisschamp, there is enough space to put two small matches or one big one. the big one is practical because it fits inside, the small ones are two, but if you use the screwdriver often they don't get stuck. before now I didn't think they were that hard to light matches so I found an easy method to add the rough part of the box on the boxknife! on the back, in the largest slot, it is possible to put that part with double-sided adhesive, or by buying special strips to glue for matches. it works really well!
AWESOME! My Friend. Thank You very much for demystifying the pulley system so clearely and simply for me. You're an oustanding teacher. Love You. Greetings from France ^_^
Du bist doch die Wiedergeburt von Davinchi! Kann ja wirklich nicht sein, dass du so viele Ideen hast...... Der Wahnsinn!!👍🏼👏👏👏 Wenn ich ne Frau wäre, würde ich schreiben.... Ich liebe dich! 😂❤️
Da soll noch mal einer sagen, dass man beim Bushcraften nichts über Physik lernt. Und das alles nur mit etwas Holz und einem Victorinox! 👍👍👍 Lieber Felix, super gemacht und erklärt ! (Wie immer, bei Immler!)😁👍 LG aus Oberösterreich!
Hola buenas tardes desde españa. Me encantan tus vídeos y por lo que veo tienes que ser una persona estupenda y muy agradable.solo quería que lo supieras, me caes súper bien .un saludo
