Thanks.



[Parkrocker69]

"outch, got teeth" awesome!! :)

[luresalive]

good video, the hand drill was a nice touch.

[Jaboie]

Starts the fire with sticks, no shoes, you are the real deal.

[michaelpewtherer]

@OxiaEMan I do, though I have reduced them to "on demand" while I take a bunch of college courses. Always happy to run programs for small groups, so if there is something specific you are interested in let me know.

[crasher140]

you shuld have let it go

[Druetty]

Wow, incredible. You are very skilled, thanks for sharing that!

[thermaldog]

this makes me look like an idiot....i can sit on the riverbank for 3hrs with my fishing rod and maggots and catch a fish half the size of this and u did it with your bare hands ha ha, great video! i take it this is in the USA?

[michaelpewtherer]

@thermaldog LOL, yes this was in the US, though brown trout are native to North Africa and Southern Europe - i am editing some video of a recent fishing excursion for Brook Trout, more skittish, but so tasty. Thanks for watching.

[Mumszzr600]

Simply brilliant! Great video! What kind of streams do you fish/hunt trout in?

[michaelpewtherer]

@Mumszzr600 Thanks! I look for streams running cool (60's - 70's) with pools that are divided one from the other. Another aspect that greatly improves my success is streams with good hiding spots along the bank (undercut banks, debris, roots, plant growth).

[nickhotrock]

great vid

[nobodyprepper]

I've never been a fisherman ... but I think the video you've done... is a technique that everyone can use ...

[chriscainesurvival]

great video thanks for sharing

[LoenjaSelter]

just had dinner, but my mouth still watered big time

[Trojanballer54]

Impressive! I need to learn how to apply this harvesting technique to a trophy redfish ;)

One little tip though. If you pinch just below the gills with your thumb and the inside of your forefinger, you will get a secure grip. You gotta hold the fish so that the tail is pointing to your elbow. But you know, only touch the gills when you plan on keeping the fish

[nitehawk85]

A new sub and like!

[echo1er]

this is fuck awesome!

[tim3jones]

Good info bro.

[MINDWISEMAN]

Nicely done....and without fishing kit. In the UK this method is called "tickling", rake the river bed to make water murcky so fish move to oxygenated undisturbed shallower riverbank..wel that's the theory lol. Must try this next time I'm wildcamping canoeing on shallow waters ;-) Nice one.

[TroutManOutdoors]

Good stuff. Do you use any other methods of killing your trout before gutting it? And what type of uses is the roe good for? Thanks. -Kurtis

[michaelpewtherer]

@TroutManOutdoors Thanks! I usually break their neck as in the video unless I use a natural poison or nail them with a spear or arrow - a knife point driven in between the eyes works as does a thump on the head with a stick.

I'm sure there are good recipe's one can use the roe in, but trout roe is not particularly tasty so I'm not much help there. Sorry.

[swordsman51]

@TroutManOutdoors u can also use roe as a bait

[SnkyCyanTurtle]

good vid. man

[MrJoeyBoombotz]

Very impressive. Thank you for teaching us. I guess it isn't always about your kit.

[a2eric1]

Wow Dude, thats impressive catching that trout like that. Nice method for processing and cooking too!

[999manman]

Be my luck the first thing I rousted would be a snapping turtle!

[Nativesurvival]

Excellent work, totally primitive lunch.. thanks for the upload ; )

-Mitch

[chitown1966]

that's a fantastic skill . Where did you learn ? great job

[michaelpewtherer]

@chitown1966 Thanks! Hand-fishing or trout hunting, is something I've done since i was a little kid. Initially i grabbed Sunny's from a pond overflow and then I moved on to bigger streams. Some seem well suited to it while others are not so great.

[chitown1966]

@michaelpewtherer Thanks for the response, what you do is very impressive. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

[maxinpains]

@michaelpewtherer lol I don't know why but when i was kid i did all kinds of crap & i don't know why everything that i know is called some kind of survival skils...lol Great vid . i just remember the taste of trout i've got a mounth ago..LOL

[gumshoemw]

thanks for the heads up about the other book Ill give a search for it and grab a copy. I appreciate you reply as I am just starting my journey into first learning and then applying this knowledge.

[gumshoemw]

Hey I just wanted to mention that I have been enjoying the book "Wilderness Survival" by you and Mark Elbroch. I enjoy the daily journal aspect of it as it reads like a summer biography. Its not just full of info but also rather entertaining. Im going to suscribe and like also. Please keep up the videos.

[michaelpewtherer]

@gumshoemw haha, glad you are enjoying the book, that was a long time ago! I have a more comprehensive book out now, also with plenty of stories/examples, check it out on Amazon, search under "pewtherer".

I have an igloo video that was never completed because of crappy weather, maybe I'll post it anyway...

[OregonCoastGhost]

Great video!

[NoLoveSky]

What is that large leaf the trout is on mullein?

[michaelpewtherer]

@NoLoveSky Yes, it is mullein - good eye.

[mrriprock2]

You need to pump out some more vids. Nicely done.

[ThatAudioChocolate]

poor fish wasnt even dead when it was bleeding out.W/e i guess thats nature.nm he was dead"""" lmao

[HitchHikeHarry]

Finally a decent stalk it, catch it, cook it and no bullshit video. Well done!

[pointbky]

great

[999manman]

ACK!! Snapping turtle!!!

[michaelpewtherer]

@999manman

I've grabbed snapping turtles by the head a number of times and they don't snap underwater. I've read something to that effect too and put it to the test by repeatedly grabbing the same turtle by the noggin and he just pulled back into his shell. Alligator snappers are another story though.

[999manman]

@michaelpewtherer People who reach under banks for snapping turtles fascinate me...I had heard that they won't bite underwater but it made no sense to me...after all don't they eat aquatic animals?

I've actually been bitten by one on land and I was lucky not to be permanently maimed. Vicious critters!

[JimboJitsu]

Wow, great video!

[Rocdenindy]

great info.

[michaelpewtherer]

Thanks people, let me know if there are other survival topics you'd like to see a video of.

[broadcastyourselfbah]

Amazing. Great video, very inspirational! MungoSaysBah

[n9hxv1986]
