you may have mentioned in your other vids, but what size sawvivor is that? The 15 or 18 inch? Great stuff btw, love winter camping-No bugs(mosquitoes)!
@fluffywhiteducky In one he packed in chicken breasts and bacon and made bacon wrapped chicken breasts which looked super good, and in another he ate cup noodles with his son, but yea he doesnt show that much (of course it doesnt happen much either.
i would have used a emergency blanket that has the shiny lining and attaching to the underside of the cover to act as a reflector as well as protect against the melting snow from simply dripping on you guess. perhaps that's a good idea for the future.
Dig a shallow trench to fit your wood anvil. Make it a few inches deeper than the thickness of the anvil. This will allow you a solid base for batoning and prevent the piece of wood you are processing from sliding off.
After a long snow hike and wood prepping with a good bud....There is nothing more motivating then a blazin fire. Then a hot cup of soup and coffee....maybe a cigar....now thats living.
The first minute of this video and seeing flames makes the all the effort worth it......Nothing like a campfire to get and keep motivated.....Well done guys!!!
@etekballer14 I would recomend the Heavy bowie because its cheaper than the becker BK9 and I find that the clip point on the bowie is better for fine work aswell. As for the choice of tinder I would suggest takeing some cotton balls and soaking them in vaseline. In my oppinion it works just as well as trioxane and wetfire and is cheap.
Awesome guys, thank you for taking me on your journey. I agree your mate hits like a girl Haha! Fun and educational. I am in New Zealand, and have family in USA.
On a different note, fight the NWO. You have millitary background. Spread awareness about FEMA Camps, it is coming to you, what you share can help people over there. I know you have more to share. Time is short, Americans need to be aware of what is coming. Put your faith in the Lord, this was talked about a long time ago, bless you.
Nutnfancy, First off, Thank you and BuggestNuster for your service to the U.S.A.
Best video series I have ever watched! You and BuggetNuster kept the viewer in everything you did and I learned a boatload. Loved the "guy talk". Just bought the Recon Scout (your recommendation). Can't wait to start working it this weekend. Will TiVo the Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packer game. You wife and kid(s) must be awesome to know that you sometimes still "have to be a boy". Your dog rocks too!
Good Job Guys!... Was fun to watch. I wont go into all the details of my equipment, but just say, it's quality is more than suitable for the cold winters in Canada. Everyone has different stuff and we all learn small tips from each other. All the Best in 2011 and remember, Play Safe, Be Safe, and Live Safe.... Cheers.... Out!
Hey Nutnfancy, where did Nuggetbuster go, I don`t see him anymore in your vids!!
I hope yourè still friends. In a year many things can change, i lost my wife, lost my job , but i watch your vids they help i guess and i go on, times will get better evetually! for eviryone!. best wishes for new year for everybody!!
Hi, do you chose what kind of wood you start your fire with? I live in Norway, and always start mye fire with the lighter wood. Easy to start a fire with, but burns fast.
@fiskekongen im not nutnfancy but just sayin u should start with that then get some rly strong hard to break wood as it wood be denser and fire would burn it slower
Man, I totally wanted to start piling wood there with ya! I've been a boyscout for 6 or 7 years, done plenty of survival outings by myself, and I totally dig what you guys are doing! I wish I was somewhere other than Missouri so I could get out into some great backcountry!
I never been so excited to see a fire being started, but will it always take all day to get a fire started in a survival situation. Bear Grylls seems to get his fires started rather quickly but I know they cut alot out of that show so Im just curious.
Nutnfancy, i have seen this video for a hundred times and i still love it!!
Firemaking is something that is in the genes of man , every guy loves it!! And with a good friend makes it unforgatable!! very educating also!! thanks , jack
Dude... your videos are AWESOME. I should be studying, but im sitting here watching you chop wood and make fires, and use knives... and its turning me ON
nutin i love ur visa. im a 56 yr old lady stroke survivor. i don't travel as far or fast as i used to. but i still get out there. i sit here watching u start ur fire i can SMELL the fresh cut wood and the embers r landing at my feet. omg i love this stuff. ty hugs to ali ok?........karen
@nutnfancy Hey me and my friends are going camping this summer whats some good non-perishable foods that I could bring, normally I just bring k-rations but I want to try something else. Thanks!
You could tape the interior of the shelter with pine branches for a matress (or make some kind of elevated bed for easier hot rocks stacking), and thatch the sides of it with plenty of spruce.
Anyway, using knee pads i had a bad experience as snow would stack between the pad and my leg and then melt, wetting it. They should always be kinda tightened with duct tape.
Great job, guys! I love this video series! Gonna buy me an RTAK2 soon because of your vids. My Outcast chipped out a bit (sharpenable but disappointing) in the cold weather when I received and tested it. Good blade but you hit the nail on the head with it being too brittle in cold (high skies series, I think). I look forward to having an RTAK2 that can withstand the cold. Thanks for your vids and keep up the good work!
banter free of crude remarks??? were you watching the same video??. Good info, a little long and old mans beard would have worked just as well as that fire gel as long as it's dry, if it's wet you can dry it under your jacket while you're cutting wood. Best of all it's free and abundant in the woods. Over all it was a good series of videos.
Fascinating! ...I watched all 5 in a row while I cooked crepes and Bannock ...it was refreshing to hear guys banter free of swearing and crude remarks ...lots of really useful information
Awesome vids nutn but, just concstructive criticism, i think from my experiences maybe the fire was too big due to the work to get wood as anyone could tell from the video great guys great dog great tools great knowledge= all you need great job guys!
Love all your videos man. You guys worked your butts off with that saw though. Wow, that was hard to watch. I was sweating watching you. As for me and my cousin, we can fell two good sized trees and have them fire ready in about 30 minutes with our Fiskar Hatchets. They are very light and almost magically in their elimination of wood. We are experienced woodsman, and neither of us leave the house (hardly) without them. Made in Finland, and it is all I need. Amazing tool. Very light., check it.
so for sleeping on the warm rocks, how do you know which rocks are safe to use (won't explode) and is there a limit of time it is safe for them to be in the fire?
Very good videos. Thanks for upploading this! Btw..., where did this take place? Im from Sweden northen part my self and it would be nice to look at a map to see where u'r at :-)
why do you use a stove while you have a bigg campfire in front of you, you are only whasting your gass or alcohol, but it is a great vid do i liked to wach it and i watched pt 1 to 5 it was a great vid tx man
Nutn! thank you so much for all of the detailed videos. they are long but totally worth the time. I have watched 1-5 on firemaking, and i have to say you have shared invaluable knowledge with me. My friends and I are looking to do a first snow hike/camp far upstate NY this coming december. and we're collecting all the knowledge we can. Keep up the videos. You are right up there with survivorman on my favorite list of wilderness watches. Les has nothing on you!

awesome, watched all from 1-5. but i wouldent mind if ther would be a number 6 where u show us when u guys wake up and stuff. but a great vid and i learnd alot =)
Love the videos keep um coming. You and your buddy remind me of me and a cpl. of my buddies joking around all the time, when were out camping in the deserts or So. Cal. All good times.
Simply amazing videos! I love the banter between you and BuggetNuster, lots of amazing convosation and priceless information constantly! You could litrally feel the atmosphere change when you got that fire going though! God I could feel the warmth pouring through my screen after seeing you work your ass's off in the freezing cold.
Also theres your dog there? man's best friend and a well trained awesome dog? This couldn't get any better!
Although I notice your blade angles were pretty safe when delimbing I teach any newbies that you should always keep the trunk between blade and leg. Make two sweeps along trunk. Safety Tip. When blowing on fire always make sure to balance and position yourself so if you faint you won't land in fire. It can happen. String your Plastic or tarp under the leanto, then any melt thru with just run off. Trench at back of lean will help remove melt. Maybe try push feeding a long log into fire.
Gday Guys, Well I am an Aussie so the snow experience is pretty thin. Enjoyed the education and it made me think about a few things that obviously isn't that much of a concern for us Downunder. Just some thoughts your way discard at will. A Machete with back sling. I know you speak of weight but the versatility and speed of this tool I would think would cut down on your work load. Especially when delimbing your main trunk.
Man, just watching you guys made me tired! Watching this whole series made me want to go camping SO bad. Not a lot of snow down here in Jacksonville, FL. Swamp camping in the summer; not so much fun. I guess watching your vids will have to suffice till cooler weather. I agree with the previous posters; you're efforts aren't wasted! Thanks for the videos.
@TheHungriestGrizzly camping is fun no matter what time of year it is. You could still practice this style fire making even though it would be more work than necessary. This works for the rain too, so maybe try it on a rainy day. That's new territory even Nutn hasn't covered yet.
You are literally an inspiration to me, I love your videos so much have watched them all, just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for all the effort you put into these videos i hope all your views appreciate how much effort it does take, and i think both your knowledge and personality make your videos 10/10 and beyond.
If you only had your swedish firesteel ( wich i got ) how would you ignite the tinder ?? Would you make like a fuzzy tree stick with lots of small small fuzzy parts or? :)
One of the things that you could've done, is take some of these logs, put them through break them that way. Well, mainly the rotten and thinner stuff...
"Punky wood" as Survivorman is so ought to say...
In a real survival situation there wouldnt be any chemical firestarters. Survivor could use only some of these instead: hay, dry grass, some leaf trees bark, dead leaves, wood shavings and dry branches etc. Knives should not be used for chopping logs like that(hitting to peen). That kind of knife handling will blunt the blade edge very fast and will break off the blade eventually. There`s no use to damage tools if intention is to survive several days.
Nicely done TacticalSnoop I'm and Eagle as well. Haha yea and I think most of these skills are required for rank but the more in depth stuff is wilderness survival merit badge which was a fun badge to get.
I can make fire with no wood or starter, I just fart.
And did I hear you say Vietnam Tomahawk!?!?!?
That's nice , but I advise you. It's the worst hawk cold steel ever made. Get the Frontier Norse Pipe or Trail Hawk. All lighter than some blade you took with you.
you no when i go camping in high moisture content areas i get whole logs and dead rotted branches and stuff and i use pine needles and small twigs and the pine needles catch fire pretty good so how does the splitting help?
hickorybend444, i tell you this all those jokes they make are allright, Remember ,girls growup and become women, but boys get older but still be boys, i am 55 and i,am still a boy. Be shure never to lose that young boy inside of you, if you lose it you,re on the wrong road!!!
ok... one of the fire rules i learned in life. was never blow on a open flame,, which he did at the first of the video. good videos, , but Way to long to start it. and preparing it. the whole time they would of had that set. i would of had atliest 4 x the wood they had. I'd challenge these guys just for the hell of it.. and im in -15 degrees of cold weather right now.. lol
Fenix Ld20 - and they're awesome you can purchase a conical lantern cover that goes over the business end that makes for a great lantern, even on the lowest setting
A excellent series of 5 videos, great campfire (preparation is everything) My firekit also contains trioxane (great stuff and reliabel), there is a big demand for them
in my firemaking kit i have an altoids tin filled with matches match striker swedish firesteel army, 1 cotton ball a lighter 2 coghlans fire lighters and 3 tinder quick
You guys rock! One of the best survival series I've seen. Testing knives like that is worth its weight in gold. Nothing beats knife discussions like a real test!
did that kno that rocks stones from the river would explode, very good to kno, cus if i was in this situation and wanted to warm some stones, i would have done it,
What a blast! I wish I could go with you guys! (in case you couldn't guess by my online name!) Thanks for sharing your good times and expertise! You've got a new fan!
rocks explode when they get heated if they have waer traped inside them. if you dry them with low heat fire to dry them out they wont explode but it takes a wile
men are allways atracted by fire, i guess its in our gene's You are a lucky man if you can go out in the wilderness with your best friend(s) I consider you a lucky man!! (envy you!!)
Sometimes you do not have tools. In that case you use dead trees by bashing them against live trees. (leverge)This gives you the 2 to 3 inch starters. You can than drag big 'ol wood to the fire intact. feeding it to the fire one foot at a time. It takes a lot less time than this video.
Oh that looks like so much fun, i love camping, the sound of that snapping fire is just so calming, I would love you go camping like that, good video Nutnfancy.
idk....you guys are so gratuitous about this stuff.. I don't understand why split a 3 inch thick log? or a 5 inch thick log? just toss it on the fire...
It was said in part 4, and I believe earlier as well, that round edged logs don't catch as well as split logs, at least in the conditions these videos were shot in.
A good thing about aspen here in the Rocky Mtns is it burns HOT and LONG. So should they throw on a couple split logs of aspen chances are the still red hot coals and shells will be left in the morning.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i understand thats it's funny for you to split the wood in atomic small pieces... but it makes no sense! as smaller you do them as faster it's burned up!
but that is the point. They catch Extremely easily and burn quick and hot. which creates a base for larger and larger pieces. its all about small steps. You had to learn to crawl before you could walk and before that you learned to role from your back to stomach. Each step is necessary for the next. Well those are my two cents.
It mostly depends on the layering of your clothing. A -15 sleeping bag will do perfectly fine in -25 weather if you wear a good base layer, mid layer and a jacket. But generally speaking you should by a sleeping bag that fits the temperature (within -5 or +5 of the temperature outside) range that you'll be sleeping in.
you may have mentioned in your other vids, but what size sawvivor is that? The 15 or 18 inch? Great stuff btw, love winter camping-No bugs(mosquitoes)!

Simply amazing videos! I love the banter between you and BuggetNuster, lots of amazing convosation and priceless information constantly! You could litrally feel the atmosphere change when you got that fire going though! God I could feel the warmth pouring through my screen after seeing you work your ass's off in the freezing cold.
Also theres your dog there? man's best friend and a well trained awesome dog? This couldn't get any better!
5 stars!

Although I notice your blade angles were pretty safe when delimbing I teach any newbies that you should always keep the trunk between blade and leg. Make two sweeps along trunk. Safety Tip. When blowing on fire always make sure to balance and position yourself so if you faint you won't land in fire. It can happen. String your Plastic or tarp under the leanto, then any melt thru with just run off. Trench at back of lean will help remove melt. Maybe try push feeding a long log into fire.

Gday Guys, Well I am an Aussie so the snow experience is pretty thin. Enjoyed the education and it made me think about a few things that obviously isn't that much of a concern for us Downunder. Just some thoughts your way discard at will. A Machete with back sling. I know you speak of weight but the versatility and speed of this tool I would think would cut down on your work load. Especially when delimbing your main trunk.

Man, just watching you guys made me tired! Watching this whole series made me want to go camping SO bad. Not a lot of snow down here in Jacksonville, FL. Swamp camping in the summer; not so much fun. I guess watching your vids will have to suffice till cooler weather. I agree with the previous posters; you're efforts aren't wasted! Thanks for the videos.

@TheHungriestGrizzly camping is fun no matter what time of year it is. You could still practice this style fire making even though it would be more work than necessary. This works for the rain too, so maybe try it on a rainy day. That's new territory even Nutn hasn't covered yet.

You are literally an inspiration to me, I love your videos so much have watched them all, just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for all the effort you put into these videos i hope all your views appreciate how much effort it does take, and i think both your knowledge and personality make your videos 10/10 and beyond.

If you only had your swedish firesteel ( wich i got ) how would you ignite the tinder ?? Would you make like a fuzzy tree stick with lots of small small fuzzy parts or? :)

One of the things that you could've done, is take some of these logs, put them through break them that way. Well, mainly the rotten and thinner stuff...

In a real survival situation there wouldnt be any chemical firestarters. Survivor could use only some of these instead: hay, dry grass, some leaf trees bark, dead leaves, wood shavings and dry branches etc. Knives should not be used for chopping logs like that(hitting to peen). That kind of knife handling will blunt the blade edge very fast and will break off the blade eventually. There`s no use to damage tools if intention is to survive several days.

I can make fire with no wood or starter, I just fart.
And did I hear you say Vietnam Tomahawk!?!?!?
That's nice , but I advise you. It's the worst hawk cold steel ever made. Get the Frontier Norse Pipe or Trail Hawk. All lighter than some blade you took with you.

ok... one of the fire rules i learned in life. was never blow on a open flame,, which he did at the first of the video. good videos, , but Way to long to start it. and preparing it. the whole time they would of had that set. i would of had atliest 4 x the wood they had. I'd challenge these guys just for the hell of it.. and im in -15 degrees of cold weather right now.. lol

Sometimes you do not have tools. In that case you use dead trees by bashing them against live trees. (leverge)This gives you the 2 to 3 inch starters. You can than drag big 'ol wood to the fire intact. feeding it to the fire one foot at a time. It takes a lot less time than this video.

It was said in part 4, and I believe earlier as well, that round edged logs don't catch as well as split logs, at least in the conditions these videos were shot in.

A good thing about aspen here in the Rocky Mtns is it burns HOT and LONG. So should they throw on a couple split logs of aspen chances are the still red hot coals and shells will be left in the morning.

i understand thats it's funny for you to split the wood in atomic small pieces... but it makes no sense! as smaller you do them as faster it's burned up!
09ssl 2 years ago
but that is the point. They catch Extremely easily and burn quick and hot. which creates a base for larger and larger pieces. its all about small steps. You had to learn to crawl before you could walk and before that you learned to role from your back to stomach. Each step is necessary for the next. Well those are my two cents.

gasdorf 2 years ago
It mostly depends on the layering of your clothing. A -15 sleeping bag will do perfectly fine in -25 weather if you wear a good base layer, mid layer and a jacket. But generally speaking you should by a sleeping bag that fits the temperature (within -5 or +5 of the temperature outside) range that you'll be sleeping in.
