...I see that you're starting your fire on a log round, this seems like a good idea but it does not give much air flow to the centre of the fire and from the look of it, it seems rather damp meaning that as your fire heats up, moisture will be released into the fire. A good base to a fire is a few dry dead sticks which raises the fire off the ground and gives good airflow to it, also giving good embers and a heart to the fire. Great video, just thought I'd offer some help.
@P4TR1CK041@P4TR1CK041 Agreed! In general, I saw a serious disregard for his tools. Dropping them on the ground, tossing things aside, potentially loosing them or damaging them at least. Not too mention that he tripped over the machete while it was stabbed in the ground...
BUT, awesome info and tricks that I will be sure to try out soon. And a great accent!
Just some constructive criticism. Cutting tools - try safer methods of splitting like battoning, there is a high risk you could cut yourself using your method. Also, it's best not to put the blade of your knife in the ground, it's likely you could chip the blade and can rust easily, especially carbon steel. Fire - there is always dry wood in the forest, there's no need to put damp wood on a fire, if there is no dry tinder try feathering the sticks. Contd in next post
great videos but what is an ambulance siren doing in the bush?...it's a pleasure to watch someone so adapt with tools and bush technique...more videos even with the noises of civilization in the background...simplicity is the art of knowledgeable people..
Who cares what he does with his knives? He seems to know what treatment they can withstand. I bet he can sharpen them with materials he gathers from the area. The man has more woods knowledge than most and the kind of presence that shows he's at home there, regardless of the tools he's carrying. I don't understand why people need to find a negative in such a positive and informative vid. Probably to push back the feeling of inadequacy they got seeing how good he is. Great video, thanks!
@PhylBeeMe Agreed!! I think people get mad or offended and feel the need to find negitive in anything that they dont understand or didnt know about. Instead of saying thats for informing me, they think of anything to troll. Very sad that some people are allowed to reproduce or use the internet!
a good outdoorsman and a knife aficionado are two different things. a knife person with no outdoors experience will not do well outdoors no matter how good the knife is, a good outdoorsman can make do with a crap knife and get the task done. great video as always
@iamsnake21 good comment, the only place for a knife when not in use is in its sheath etc. Getting into this habit can save time, effort and minimise the risk of loosing a knife, also putting the blade in the ground is a sure fire way of dulling the blade. Its one of my pet peeve's too. :-)
I have to say a true knife aficionado won't EVER stick his knife in the ground, put it back in the sheath, I saw this bloke do it twice, once with opinel and once with his machete(golok?),other then that good vid, with good info.
I just tried the Douglas Fir resin for fire starting, and it worked very well. In fact for me this works better than scraping cedar bark which was about the only trick I knew for starting fire without bringing some tinder along when conditions are wet. Thanks for a great tip.
I just subscribed to your channel as I am wanting to learn all these things and have no one in person to show me. Can I ask what kind of sack you used for the chair? Wouldn't it have to have a tube like opening at both ends for the stick at the bottom and the cord at the top??
i see what you me about people on youtube have exspensive kits. all i carry is my hachet my knife and a small pouch with a few maches, cord and a compase. i like your videos . me and my freind brandon practice survival skills in our local woods. you should do a video on a survival kit.
Ray Mears who? Ray Mears has NOTHING on this guy. Ray can start a fire with perfectly dry timber, so what? Nice to see someone actually do something in real conditions.
Nice skills sir, but to say you ONLY use what is in nature and then pooh pooh others who use survival kits is a bit hipocrit and arrogant. I see you brought a nylon poncho or tarp for your shelter as well as whetever material you brought for your chair there as well as a knife and fire steel for your fire making. I've never seen those things growing in nature!! But I do agree that one does not need a lot of gear to survive comfortably.
He could have built a wall out of the damp firewood on the opposite side of the fire from him, drying out the wet wood and reflecting the heat back at him.
@rmokti2005 seriously though the knife is brand is "Opinel", they make all different size knives very popular back in history, its a very old knife company and the design has not changed much in all this time.
@modtwenty Opinel it is, indeed, but if you want to strike a spark like this man did, you must go with the carbon steel blade and not the stainless... best from Kentucky
@rmokti2005 i just watched it again and he is using 2 knives, the smaller one is opinel the bigger on is a wierd one i havent seen, it has a blade design that curves like a drop point or something
Ya, pine resin 1000 uses. Edible also, even raw very high carb. Extractable sugars. Resin often in large clumps at the bases of trees, especially lightning struck/fire damaged ones, large as in enough to fill a gallon pail or more-gather while traveling afoot. Use for bandage, water proofing, tent/clothing/shoe and other repairs-boil down to make glue, antiseptic, bug repellant. Coat bed legs to keep ants/bugs away. Semi bowl shaped rock and puddle of resin makes good pitch candle. Thumbs up.
People don't understand what it is like to try and build a fire when its cold and wet outside. when its so cold you can't feel the lighter in your hands and you realize you have waited a bit too long to start your fire. They think just anything will light and thats when they find out it won't thats when they start to panic. Thank you for showing how its done it brought back some great memories and some scary times also. I loved this one make me feel like I'm there Gwn
If you live around a Pine forest check for trees that have been cut down the resin will collect at it's base and roots that's is where they get what is called (FAT WOOD) and it is some of the best stuff for fire starting
Before he lights his fire, he has collected and sorted his fuel. Organization is key,
especially in dire conditions.
He built his fire on a slab of wood. This keeps the fire off the damp ground, which would have drawn the heat away and made the fire harder to keep lit.
He's right about expensive kit, but for a lot of people, since they may not have the opportunity to go into the woods often, collecting kit becomes part of the hobby.
Wez, sir - I have to disagree, respectfully, with something you said. You said that your kit is worth virtually nothing. Your kit is actually extremely valuable because you put such simple materials to such excellent use. Cheers for using real bushcraft to teach what is possible.
Your demonstration was great. I live in more of a wet climate so your video taught me a lot. Also i think it would be a great idea to do a demonstration on your knives and tools you use like your knife you used to split the wood to make small kiddling.
I'm big lover of pine resin for getting fires started and makeing candles, and love some of your videos, but I'm not impressed with the way that you hack towards your fingers....ouch....me thinks one day you will loose a pinky....but on a serious note cuts are something that's not needed when or if you're forced to survive, so I am giving my honest safety advice and not taking the mick out fo your video sir...

Great job with both the shelter and the fire, I found it very infomative and would love to see more from you. You obviously have alot of knowledge to share please think about making more videos. From some of the posts on here I could see why you might not want to post again but you've got the skills and the people who really want to learn would love to see them. Don't stop posting because some 12 yr old doesn't like you sticking your knife in the ground. Thanks!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You put too much kindling on the fire. And why do you use this white thing from the tree in, even if it already burns? Try to practice a little bit ;)
Ooohhh, a big, fat Opinel knife. Not stainless steel but i find that they take a very sharp edge. Not my choise in a wet situation, can be impossible to open the blade if the wood of the handle absorb 2 much water.
So... what to do if you have to overnight there in an emergency situation? You made the fast and easy shelter. But what about ground animals? How to keep snakes away while you're sleeping for example?
Yes... But I've also heard stories of people waking up with snakes on them. Because they are cold blooded animals they search sources of heat. The snakes in those stories were not a threat, but simply warming up on the human 37 degrees celcius body...
But does your answer mean you never take measures to keep snakes away? You are just not afraid, and able to get a good rest?
i''ve never commented on anything before but had to for this! i appreciate what he's saying about not needing loads of kit but honestly, other than that, you can tell by the things he says and does that he knows next to nothing. fair play for at least being out in the woods. so long as you tidy up properly.
excellent video just what every body needs to know ,you dont need to buy expensive things to start a fire ,no yuky cotton balls in vasaline and no fluffy things that can get damp
thanks for vid. very good I liked the chair but for me I would have had it taller as to let legs dangle as to low down makes legs tried and harder to get up that what happens when yo get older..how come there's no welcome in the hillside.. thanks taffy.
I've seen several methods of starting fires in damp areas, this is by far the best i've seen. It's amazing how volatile that tiny bit of resin is. Without it the fire would be snuffed out between 6:30 and 7:00, but it even catches the wet wood fast.
I collected some resin this weekend and used it to start a campfire. works great and it burns a long time. Natures napalm!
tip1: very useful to increase grip for rope pulling contest or tree climbing tip 2: use urine to remove the sticky resin from your hands (better than soap)
Solidified resin. He popped blisters on a tree to get the resin, and it solidified into rock hard balls. It's extremely flammable. When it heats up it turns into liquid again and combusts. In the first video he shows how he got it/etc.
This comment is to help other posters. I live in britain and I have access to some of the most wonderful open spaces and forests in the world. Scotland has open access to all wilderness areas "backed by the law". In the rest of the uk organisations such as the forestry commission and the woodland trust, to name but two, have open access policies and encourage responsible use of thair land. Check out wooded riversides and local parkland and if all else fails go commando/stealth.
It's a bit misleading then, all these videos done by Brits in the woods! I know Britain has lost almost all its forests, but I had no idea that the access to the remaining ones was so restricted and regulated. Well, the illusion on YouTube is fun anway, guys!
It's not really an issue of access. Rather, regulation & restriction once in the woods (sometimes very understandable). Very much a - "Look but don't touch" situation. Compared to England and Wales, Scotland is a bit better, with freedom to wild camp. I'd say the central restriction that really limits Bushcraft here, is about fire lighting. In the wild, that is almost a total no no. Like Dave says, you could do it stealth way, but then I don't like to be looking over my shoulder every 5 seconds.
Wow !! And to think we have lots of that stuff here in northern Québec Canada.
Thank's for that simple demonstration.

Ya, pine resin 1000 uses. Edible also, even raw very high carb. Extractable sugars. Resin often in large clumps at the bases of trees, especially lightning struck/fire damaged ones, large as in enough to fill a gallon pail or more-gather while traveling afoot. Use for bandage, water proofing, tent/clothing/shoe and other repairs-boil down to make glue, antiseptic, bug repellant. Coat bed legs to keep ants/bugs away. Semi bowl shaped rock and puddle of resin makes good pitch candle. Thumbs up.

Sir,
Great job with both the shelter and the fire, I found it very infomative and would love to see more from you. You obviously have alot of knowledge to share please think about making more videos. From some of the posts on here I could see why you might not want to post again but you've got the skills and the people who really want to learn would love to see them. Don't stop posting because some 12 yr old doesn't like you sticking your knife in the ground. Thanks!

@Survivorguy74800 ...your already trying to survive, a fallen tree in your sleep might be a blessing.

yeah ! maybe..... if it falls on the ones you dislike the most ! :- )
rbvmtr 1 year ago
Lol yes really because it can kill you, but for some peoples like me the surviving is not about the suffering, its more about the adventure.

I don't want to be a stickler but never just stick a blade into the dirt. it will dull it.

You put too much kindling on the fire. And why do you use this white thing from the tree in, even if it already burns? Try to practice a little bit ;)
MrHadage 2 years ago
he didn't put too much on he said the wood was damp so he used loads of kindling to build the heat up so the damp wood would catch.
try to listen a little bit ;)

Ooohhh, a big, fat Opinel knife. Not stainless steel but i find that they take a very sharp edge. Not my choise in a wet situation, can be impossible to open the blade if the wood of the handle absorb 2 much water.

So... what to do if you have to overnight there in an emergency situation? You made the fast and easy shelter. But what about ground animals? How to keep snakes away while you're sleeping for example?
Nice video by the way!

u wont find snakes at night. they are cold blooded animals and like the sun.
shamanspirit1984 2 years ago
Yes... But I've also heard stories of people waking up with snakes on them. Because they are cold blooded animals they search sources of heat. The snakes in those stories were not a threat, but simply warming up on the human 37 degrees celcius body...
But does your answer mean you never take measures to keep snakes away? You are just not afraid, and able to get a good rest?

i''ve never commented on anything before but had to for this! i appreciate what he's saying about not needing loads of kit but honestly, other than that, you can tell by the things he says and does that he knows next to nothing. fair play for at least being out in the woods. so long as you tidy up properly.

Someone will know of any site or video that illustrates on survival in semi-desert areas?
I would be very helpful.
thanks.
segundo1415 2 years ago
I've seen several methods of starting fires in damp areas, this is by far the best i've seen. It's amazing how volatile that tiny bit of resin is. Without it the fire would be snuffed out between 6:30 and 7:00, but it even catches the wet wood fast.

RUCKSACK292 2 years ago
I collected some resin this weekend and used it to start a campfire. works great and it burns a long time. Natures napalm!
tip1: very useful to increase grip for rope pulling contest or tree climbing tip 2: use urine to remove the sticky resin from your hands (better than soap)

Can someone tell me what is that thing in the container at 2:54 ?
albi131 2 years ago
Solidified resin. He popped blisters on a tree to get the resin, and it solidified into rock hard balls. It's extremely flammable. When it heats up it turns into liquid again and combusts. In the first video he shows how he got it/etc.

This comment is to help other posters. I live in britain and I have access to some of the most wonderful open spaces and forests in the world. Scotland has open access to all wilderness areas "backed by the law". In the rest of the uk organisations such as the forestry commission and the woodland trust, to name but two, have open access policies and encourage responsible use of thair land. Check out wooded riversides and local parkland and if all else fails go commando/stealth.
1DAVESINCLAIR 2 years ago
It's a bit misleading then, all these videos done by Brits in the woods! I know Britain has lost almost all its forests, but I had no idea that the access to the remaining ones was so restricted and regulated. Well, the illusion on YouTube is fun anway, guys!
Urbanwild1 2 years ago
It's not really an issue of access. Rather, regulation & restriction once in the woods (sometimes very understandable). Very much a - "Look but don't touch" situation. Compared to England and Wales, Scotland is a bit better, with freedom to wild camp. I'd say the central restriction that really limits Bushcraft here, is about fire lighting. In the wild, that is almost a total no no. Like Dave says, you could do it stealth way, but then I don't like to be looking over my shoulder every 5 seconds.
