      survival is highly dependent on location and season. knowing how not to freeze at the poles is not of much use at the equator. in general stay dry stay warm stay fueled covers it . knowledge is the key eating poisonous animals or plants dosnt make survival easier . fire if you dont bring it with you you need to know how to make it. shelter is the same as fire. food is the same as fire and shelter . lastly if you dont know where you are you cant know where you want to be or where that is . every day carry the tools you need for survival as you never know when it will become survival time. thanks for the videos

      How about making a stone knife?
      A glass knife from beach sand on the beach?
      A primitive tool set made by hand?
      How to make and use a tree tap?
      Prill knife build?
      From survival to comfortable living
      (No metal tools).
      How to find natural paint?
      How to dye your hair from natural resources? Berries? Limestone?
      Natural uses of human poo and urine in the wild?
      How to make bone tools?

      @@koudacyen obsidian was knapped and its far easier to find that than to produce glass from beach sand. having said that the man is literally in the heart of flint knapping locations world wide so at least ask for flint lol but it is a skill and requires practice to produce usable results phil harding is a better bet for that skill set . primitave tools made by hand...hammer club lever infernal combustion engine you would have to narrow that one down just a little lol. but if you want a quick and dirty sharp edge heat a river rock to near 1000c and drop it into water if it shatters you should have lots of sharp edged pieces with rounded backs.

    The bag strap paracord is actually really useful, always hanging my pack up by that strap on trees and that’d certainly stop the handle getting as shredded aswell

    I find it interesting that you are one of the few people who talk about being able to sharpen your knife in the woods. I carry a small mill file, medium grit on one side, fine on the other, and a diamond sharpening rod. Keeps things nice and sharp.

      You can also use a blade of grass between your two thumbs. A little tension and the gap allows air to pass on either side of the blade of grass. My father taught us that when we were young.

    Love your channel. You are a resourceful man with many talents. I've already incorporated your use of Paracord, a radiant heat source to add to my pillow, I use my clothes in a stuff sack as well. And I will give your fishing setup a try - super good stuff!! Thank you 😎
    Dry bags are also good to collect rain water off your tarp, should fresh water be a distance away. I let it rain awhile to clean the tarp and then filter the water prior to drinking it.
    The Sea to Summit shower is really just a dry sack with a spray head attached to the bottom 🤓
    If I'm near a water source, I'll store perishable food in it, build a rock enclosure around it with some water flowing through, tether the dry bag and this will keep the food cool and dry.

      @suqma ปีที่แล้ว +5

      also do that
      btw you can whistle on the thin label wrapper around plastic bottles
      stretch it between two fingers over a short distance and blow on it with your mouth rested on the fingers
      loud as hell and rly easy

    • @Koffling
      @Koffling ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Works great. I can recommend a piece of cloth to go over the sack as a final layer. While really comfy and flexible, the sack can get quite damp in cold and humid environmemts, so some sort of fabric on the outside is a quick fix.

    Cargo pockets are a good thing. Just remember, any extended period of time walking, and whatever you have in that pocket is rubbing against the outside of the thigh. Keep the contents to a minimal (as flat as possible) to avoid the skin abrasions.

    I got myself dyneema cord as well as other ropes and cordage types. Dyneema is unreal. It floats in the water, 4mm cord can hold more than a 1300 kg, high resistance to rubbing. Used in yachting and for stunts. Worth to have at least 10-20m.

    • @MB-jg4tr
      @MB-jg4tr ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Dyneema is static and doesn't stretch, it's highly abrasion resistant, and difficult to cut, but it has a very low melting point and is very susceptible to heat and fire. Just things to keep in mind.

    Good stuff for your type of area. I'd love to see someone who does that sort of thing for desert areas. I found one but haven't found more and it was a different desert. Yes, first aid kits and a whistle should be accessible at all times. it's easy to think of places to attach a whistle after you think about perhaps falling down a steep incline or whatever. Love your idea of extra paracord on the outside of the pack too. Perhaps a plastic bag recycled to use for any rubbish. I love your videos.

    Trotlines and "yo-yo" devices for fishing are musts for me to have if I'm going out for more than a few days. The handline is a great idea. I wrap fire core paracord around everything except my shoulder pads for extra fire building in bad weather conditions. Just a few thoughts for your other viewers. Be well and many fires friend.

    6:02 Acorn whistle! Now there's something out of my early teens at Boy Scouts! A skill I still have today. Never thought I'd see that again! Different sizes give different pitches.
    9:33 Hint: if you do the shaping of the cap before cutting it to length it will be much easier to hold firmly. Once shaping is done , cut to length. This technique has a wide range of applications.
    Enjoyed the video, as I'm also in UK.
    Cheers mate.

    Hey, I just had a thought (and no, wise guys, it didn't hurt!) Could you scrape off some of the pine glue from a glue stick, and use it as an enhancer for, say, some wet tinder? I think that might actually work, a new trick for the tool box that I've never heard anybody else try.
    And thanks again for the new video, Mike. I always learn something new when you post.

    • @richardtrowell8812
      @richardtrowell8812 ปีที่แล้ว

      In a pine covered area there are often stumps where trees have died. All the resin collects at the roots. It's a natural firestarter. Cut into three inch lengths and half inch wide. Taper ends. Once you know what to look for not hard to find. Will look like spikes sticking up out of the ground where all other wood has rotted away. Bring a shovel. Only a small portion will be above the ground.

    Instead of a proper rainfly for my hammock, i instead carry a heavy duty tarp, big enough to cover my hammock and keep me dry in the rain, but also has many other uses that a normal rainfly wont.
    An old altoids tin can be turned into a char box, and can keep tinder try, just load it with small wood chunk, poke a 1/4" hole on the top and toss it in the fire.
    If you rip your pant legs, turn them into shorts, and use the remaining leg portions to create storage bags, tie off one end with paracord and flip it inside out, paracord at the other end to tie to your pack.
    Another great video, always learn new stuff

    • @brookeggleston9314
      @brookeggleston9314 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sorry, but a 1/4" hole in a char box is *way* too big! A 1/16" is more like it, and possibly 1/32" is closer to reality!

    I learned a trick to start fires during wet weather while in the Boy Scouts many decades ago. Build your fire with the driest material possible and add a small candle in base of the fire. The candle will help dry the kindling and small wood until the fire can continue on its own. A piece of candle about 2 inches long would be good enough. A tea light candle would work as well.

    Rather than the bag wit the reflective shield and the leaves, try the inner of a 5 liter wine carton. It is strong, blow it halve up and it's a a pillow or cusion to sit on. You can pop out the valve, fill it with water, put back the valve and you have a very lightweight and very small water container that golds 5 liters of water. You can blow it up and wave it in the air as a signaling devise, much more effective than a mirror, because it reflects in all directions.

    I'm trying to always have some bacics spare cloths with me while going outdoors. Additional underwear, shirt, thick warm socks. I keep them in dry-sack for emergency, and I always used this package as a pillow.
    Of course it's not as compact as only drybag itself, but it gives you some backup, which is especially important during cold times, while being quite good pillow at the same time ;)
