    Love wild onions. I went to a local wild edibles class several years ago and learned nearly 50 non woody plants in my area. I came home with some seeds. Every year I harvest them and replant seeds for next year. Now nearly 100 plants this past season.

    The Hatchet series was influential for me as a kid, the books instilled a love of the outdoors and reading. I still fish from a canoe to this day because of those books. Great video as always.

    Even when you have a good survival or bushcraft knife, a good axe or hatchet is a force multiplier when it comes to survival, comfort, and convenience. I consider a hatchet part of my minimal gear whenever I go hiking or camping. I keep one in my vehicle at all times. You can also exchange some pack weight for a lighter more moderately sized knife that performs fine tasks better. Axes and hatchets can help you conserve precious calories in a survival situation, compared to working with just a big heavy thick overbuilt survival knife.

    • @greekveteran2715
      @greekveteran2715 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That big and overbuilt survival knife, is nothing more than a gimmick ,that marketing has brainwashed people that it's a tool that exists and we all need it. The only true part, is that at some point in the modern era we live in, it did exist indeed, however, it's just another way, that marketing found its way to our wallets. The only big survival knife, is a Machete and it still is just a traditional tool, that tribes of the past who lived in the Jungle, used to have, for their every day needs. So, even a machete, falls into that category today, because it isn't a tool you need to survive, simply because you are not living in the jungle, 100 years ago, but in a big city in the year 2023.

    _Hatchet_ was my absolute FAVORITE book as a kid! I loved it so much, that I recommended it to both of my sons when I saw it listed as one of the books on their middle school reading list. 👍🏻
    I'll never forget the part when the Porcupine wandered into Brian's shelter!

    The movie based on the book “Hatchet” is called “A Cry in the Wild”, made in 1990.
    I watched it again just after watching this video.
    I watched that movie 15 years ago, or so, and it was responsible for me buying the Timberline Alaska Bush Pilot Hatchet. It’s rather small, but I still have it, and it gave me a new love of small hatchets.

    @dasta7658 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video! Loved the shelter, I use them a lot here in Australia. Quick, easy and it doesn't require bundles of cord to make. I won't be boiling water in a plastic bottle anytime soon, the amount of crap that is leeched into the water from the plastic will eventually kill you anyway. Survive the situation only die horribly from cancer years later.

    I would love to see some videos on survival in the high plains. Out here water is scarce, we get a little more annual precipitation than a desert. There are also large areas without trees, which creates shelter building, and fuel for fire challenges. Finding food is also more challenging. It gets both very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter.

    Truly, these are skills we should be thankful we never have to use but we walk in confidence because we have the knowledge in a bad situation. Andrew makes this appear as if he could perform these tasks every single day and be satisfied until rescued or finding his way to safety. Good show man.

  • @garywood702
    @garywood702 ปีที่แล้ว

    Right on target with this advice! If you haven't seen it look for the 1954 B&W video by; On the Spot "Survival in the Bush". Three men go into the Quebec bush, one of which is an Algonquin named Angus Baptiste. The only tool or equipment they go into the bush with is an axe. With the axe they make fire, build a lean-to shelter, make snares, fishing spears, and ultimately a birch bark canoe.

    I was a young Boy Scout when that book came out and remember reading it around 1987 or 1988. I've often wondering about surviving with a hatchet, but find myself grabbing for a large blade, like the Tops Storm Vector, more times than a hatchet. I've tested a half dozen Seax style blades, and found the Storm Vector to be the best of the lot. It beats the Terava Skrama due to length and balance.

    Outstanding video! I loved the Hatchet series when I was a kid! I think that I read up to the 5th book, if I recall correctly. The first three were read as a class when I was in 5th grade and I found the next two in the school library - which was great because they counted towards the reading tests that we were required to do and get points for.
    Edit: There was a movie made in 1990 that was based off of or inspired by Hatchet. I believe it was called "A Cry in the Wild", though I haven't seen it since I was a child.
