Eating good in the wild with the Dog bowl! : Uncivilized Technology
Переглядів 14321 день тому
Having a clean plate or eating surface while in the wilds is an often overlooked aspect of the outdoor experience. Obviously, you can do without but a plate or bowl straddles the border of necessity and luxury. If the item could serve more than on function, it would definitely lean toward necessary. Enter: The Dog Bowl! It is a plate, a bowl, a cup, a preparation surface, a storage device for p...

I usually use a wool neck gaiter on those 20+deg AZ mornings. The colors and pattern on that "hood" are awesome! Available?
Thanks Mister Wanderer. Wool is the best by far. He probably whipped something up on the Singer, knowing him, but will ask about the availability.
Dr Morey what do you think about not wearing things on the neck area as a way of increasing brown adipose tissue so that you will stay warmer when you have more BAT? This is recommended by the quantum health world.
I find 100% wool scarfs at thrift stores all the time!
Thrift store finds are the best.
It's impressive how warm a simple scarf keeps you in the bitter cold. Even the homemade, cheap, or decorative ones.
Sometimes the simple things are the best!
Nice flow Nate
Thanks guy!
Nice simple demo. The whiteboard was difficult to see. Usable but something more defined would be better. Nate
Thank you Nate, we agree. The Doc will be sternly spoken to about the whiteboard... Or, it'll be casually, mentioned. 😅
Good demo and good to know. I've done Arnis and Irish Stick Fighting and the use of a stick as you said goes back millennia. Some thing of that discription is almost always at hand. Nate
It's amazing how the basic principles have lasted so long.
Well said and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all the Uncivilized Family. Dig that Santa coat. Looks like a ruana cloak which is a great idea. Nate
Ooh that’s a simple one. I’m gunna try it on my knife. How can I remember the name though? 🤔
Use it to leash your newt & you'll remember the name 🤣
Easy I could do that
Violence gets all the views and opinions!
So true
Im definitely not happy when I’m hungry lol
🤣
Fires all year in Michigan!
A handy skill 👍
Hehehe, Merry Christmas, folks, All the best to you and your loved ones, God Bless, and thanks for all the great work. Rock on.
And the same to you, Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the teaching Santa 🧑🎄
It's the spirit of the season. Merry Christmas!
Welcome home McTinsel toes!
Love it!
Merry Christmas!
Nice video, but your ready position of the stick behind your head, etc is not viable. Just adds more distance to travel for blocking or striking! I have been practicing arnis since 1974. Have never seen this until recently on this and other videos. Thanks!
This position is the result of real world, practical applications which will preclude the attempts of an opponent grabbing the stick. It also gives plausible defense of any "ill" intentions of the stick wielder. Thank you for your comment!
Never warn someone verbally that you will cause them bodily harm or death, as it may be considered to be an assault, but do say stay back. Their giving off threat cues plus your verbal command to stay back will put them in legal jeopardy if they advance toward you. Impromptu weapons such as wasp spray, flashlight or stick, and knife will be treated in the same way as the use of a legal weapon, such as OC or CS spray, baton, or handgun. The Force that you use, must be a reasonable response, and not exceed the amount of force being used against you. There are some exceptions when there is a disparity of force being used against you, but usually that has to do with multiple attackers. So, Initially using a baton as an impact weapon against someone near your size would be considered excessive, but if you can’t leave and the attacker won’t stop attacking you, then use a big flashlight, stick, or a baton to strike at whatever is inbound to hurt you, such as, fists, feet, knees, shin, forearm or elbow. The head, neck, spine, solar plexus, and groin, are off limits unless lethal force is being used against you. Remember you may not be charged criminally but you still can be sued and loose.
Thank you for the comment! Try to remember that all of this information is implied and usually beyond the scope of a 5 minute UA-cam video! 😂 Dr. Morey has taught Martial arts and defensive tactics professionally for more than 30 years and is well aware of the issues you raise. The tough part is getting it done in a short video that is only about the basic mechanics of swinging a stick!
He made this 100% up. It’s fine however you wanna remember the old days or what not. Or old sayings. The opposite of happy is unhappy, sad, or miserable. Not hungry.
UN happy is a negation... not an "opposite". :)
Soooo... not 100% made up.
🤔 sure explains "hangry"
That it does.
their hands are small so they have less control of the apparatus
just take a knife, place it on top the wood and use another stick to hammer it down and splitting it that way. you can take even a log with small knife with that technique
Yup, battoning is another way these little have learned. Good stuff!
i do it the dumb way, only cut myself when i’m camping and have to split extra wood when im already drunk😂
Great job, Dr. Morey! (why thank you, Dr. Morey! 😂)
🤣🤣🤣
Can do the same thing by hitting the middke on the back of the axe
We can't all pull off the sea slug look. Probably best not to try this at home.
Good idea to use when wearing mittens!
Have to keep those digits from freezing 👍
I’m enjoying my oden wolf!
Fantastic
Jumbo digs! 😂
Lol
Jumbo dog bowl 🥣 🐶 😂
I’m here to say the turtle bowl is a nice addition to my container and cup!
Glad to hear it!
These would be good homeschool math games!
That's a brilliant idea
Nice assailant picture 😂
Well, thank ou very much!
🦭 🦭 😂
🤣
😍😍😍🌊
😘
i just learned something
Then, it's a good day!
👏👏👏
Thanks
I’m bringing all these items
Swagman is a illegal word, don’t use that
What if we ran away instead of fighting?
Then you would be a wise man.
How fun, I’m gonna buy some dice
Great video! Very helpful
Your drawings help a lot. Great way to show content
This was very helpful
This was a great review!
Fantastic overview of the nervous system
Beautiful drawings Dr. Morey
Good and useful review
