really awesome video. the wax slug worked pretty good :D
+Survival Lilly -THX for watching ;)
Making a slug out of birdshot using wax? Genius! Great great stuff on this channel, love it!
never knew that much about wax. I like the '7 Ways "teaching method for this kind of forum.
Good ideas for repurposing old candles. The torch was an excellent example. Cheers.
Holy cow, that wax slug was powerful! Those were some awesome uses all from some wax, I will definitely have to get some myself. The wax in the mustache was the perfect ending for the video!
Great stuff, keep it coming!
Really great video with lots of good info. That torch is awesome and I love the idea of pouring the wax over my boots instead of rubbing it in. Can't wait to see more videos! Thanks!
Another tip to fall back on if needed. Good job. Jeff
Ok, the wax shotgun shell trick is mighty cunnin'. Great work!
Paraffin, love the stuff. Great ideas. ✌
Lot of good ideas, especially the shotgun shell. I would imagine that the sheet coved in wax would also block the wind as well. Nice job.
Really enjoy the wax on the boots. Great ideas buddy.
Thank you! Awesome idea for tools not being used all the time!
I like this. Not many videos talk about this kind of thing.
Very informative and FUN! Thanks Guys
This is an excellent video, tons of educational ideas. could save a life in the cold.
Very informative video keep them coming thanks from the big state of Texas
Many good ideas, I like the fire starter with cloth, it's more manageable than coton balls.
Wax is great for so many things. Thanks for sharing !
great ideas!!! i never have seen this before!! good work! keep this way!
congratulations!!!!
Kummer from south Brasil!
Excellent video and tips! Thanks so much!
Very Informative video. I new about wax impregnated material for fire starters..but the shelter proofing and the torch...very cool.
Really good video! Thank you. Keep making them. I learn pretty stuff to practice later.
I like the last tip man! I like the channel. Hope you and Lilly keep doing some vids together and think its funny the way she giggles around you. I think she likes you, but you two are probably already aware of that. LOL
I like the tips. I got sick of using a hairdryer trying to melt wax into my boots so into my oven on low temperature. Fan on, door open ... worked well. The leather opens up so the wax soaks in thoroughly.
Very informative! I knew wax was a great fire starter on cotton balls but what a great idea using fabric too! Thank you! Also a great idea to use on knives or axes so they do not rust!
Great video. Lots of excellent ideas. I need to make some of those wax slugs.
Great video thank you from the UK
loving your videos great channel , I liked the scenario you did on previous video on changing the car tyre was very good !
Good man.
USA here.
Like a snow ball headed for hell.
We got troubles. Appreciate brother.
Very informative. Thanks for all you do. Loving getting caught up on your videos,very helpful things everyone should know. :))
Good for beard, hair, mustache, eyebrows, emergency make-up, food ...hahaha awesome video!
Great video! very informative! thank you!
keep up the great work!!!!
nice vid and good to know info on uses of wax. thanks.
Melting wax over direct heat is probably asking for trouble. Possibly a more safe way would be to heat water and melt wax over the heated water. That way the wax never gets hotter than 212° F.
Handy stuff mate - good job)))
Nice Vid, I did one similar a couple nights ago.
Good info. Thanks for sharing
c'est cool sa va bien me servire, merci pour toute ces vidéos qui sont utiles.
...danke für das "Wachs" Video :) grüße aus Oberbayern
Thanks for the great tips! You might also try clear nail polish to waterproof matches it doesn't make any mess and you don't need to scrape it off before lighting. ( it also won't melt or get soft in hot weather.)
I never even thought of doing knifes and such with it, great info all around here but i gotta say the shell were my favorite,lol. Peace.
I just love your videos!
Das mit der fackel hab ich schon sehr oft gemacht( ziemlich cool)
I have to say I found your channel due to Survival Lilly. The amount of tips you show on use of wax is truly classic, especially the Sheet Liner. Your climate is much harsher than mine, but we have spring and fall seasons that can be very damp (with mild snowfalls), so I plan to reproduce a sheet for lining in survival situations. One question: Obviously the sheet will become much stiffer, so in your experience, would you say it is better to gently fold it or roll it for carrying into a camping situation?
Subscribed and please continue producing quality videos!
Thanks!
+R.S. Barker -rolling will be definitely the better way...thank you for subscribing!
I figured rolling would be better, but thanks so much for the clarification. Thanks!
y'all know about cut shells I'm sure , if not look up on UA-cam . 1 part boiled linseed oil,1 part turpentine, 2 parts wax great traditional waterproofing . cool video , love the torch . nice shotgun !
I already knew about wax anti-rust and hydrophobic properties but that stuff with the birdshot was new and awesome.
ps: You can also use it on your hair instead of gel. Makes your hair waterproof in the rain although a bit flammable.
I like your workshop! I try to keep mine clean, but I think having the clutter helps you think of new ideas.
+Spear Brave you're right...a bit of chaos is sometimes inspiring to me...but I need to clean up in the coming weeks
very clever ideas
you really need to be cast in the show "Vikings"
Good stuff thanks
Thanks! Now I can tell my son about the wax slug and get some respect from him!
Wax slugs were very popular among hunters in Northern Italy. This trick faded away with the success of semi auto shotguns.
Another popular trick was the "chain": small fishing leads linked by steel wire.
+mariorossiexcite -you're right...many believe that it is an American invention. But Italy was the Mekka of shotgun hunting for decades. Also the cutshells were invented there. And the finest shotguns in my opinion are from Italian based companies like benelli, fausti, bettinsoli, and many more...
Keep doing . I Will try it.
Great Channel..please keep it coming.. it appears you may be in the need of some post apocalyptic shelves😆
Nice video man. Succes..
Good stuff!
When waterproofing your boots it's really important to pre-heat the leather to open up the pores. Next time try using a hair dryer on high heat (heat gun works best) to warm different areas of the boot - then immediately paint on the wax. You'll be amazed how much it will absorb. Keep doing this all over the boots (paying extra attention to stitching) until the wax pools on the top and doesn't soak in. Then let them dry/cool and buff! Everything will be evenly coated and they will stay waterproof much longer!
Some good info, thanks. Jeff (paraffin wax ! :))
On the subject of the waterproof matches, wrap the stick with toilet paper before you dip it in the wax; Or put a couple of matches together then wrap them with toilet paper and the flames are generally longer. My experience with them is that they normally burn for about 2 to 3 minutes before they are gone.
Yes, your beard & moustache look great!! ;)
A great survival food/energy, antiseptic is honey from bee hives with plenty of wax from the hives. Another use is to seal wounds/cuts with wax...wax soaked strips. Doesn't hold water & therefore is better for a bandage.
I think I will use the wax and sheet cloth as oil cloth windows. Before people had glass they covered opening with oil cloth to keep out bugs and weather and still get some natural light.
very nice Video
The beard is pretty damn fantastic
wow sehr cool! Ich stand im Supermarkt schon öfter vor diesen Kerzen und habe überlegt ein paar einzulagern. Wird jetzt gemacht ;) Besonders die Slugs waren beeindruckend! Als deutscher beneide ich euch etwas um euer waffengesetz ;)
Nice!
Smearing wax on sides of bowsaw blade will help stop it from sticking in very dry wood when cutting (at least in very dry climes ,don't know about cold and snowy but think it should work) A wax crayon or birthday candle does the job well and is easy to carry in pocket.(and you can use it to rub on a sticking zipper)
+enttish12 -Thanks for the interesting input...Looks like I've to make a 'part 2' ;)
Great👍🏻👍🏻
good slug hack!
It is a good mustache, I'll give you that. hehe
are these special candles ? Very informative video
Diesel Max
No. Just plain old paraffin wax
super!
Thanks
I take the bottom of cardboard egg cartons and fill them with dryer fuzz and fine wood shavings. Then melt some wax and pour it in the egg shaped cartons. Once lit, they will burn for about 9mins with a tall flame.
Two questions: Why go to the trouble of making the wax "slug"?? Are slugs illegal or hard to find in Austria?? Also, why can't you find/purchase better matches?? Sure, it's simple enough to make your own, but it's easier to just purchase them (at least that the case here in the US). Side Note: As I learned from a European commentor on a video of mine, we don't really have "funeral candles" like those in Europe. Our "prayer candles" come in tall glass containers (the container has some uses but those plastic candle containers look much easier for salvaging the wax)
+MDPrepper -here in Austria slug rounds are really expensive ant not easy to find in small gunstores because very few people using them. Strike anywhere matches are prohibited by law.
That's bizarre (regarding both the slugs and the matches). I can't imagine a logical reason to prohibit a specific type of match.
+MDPrepper -it's the same law as applied to the cheap lighters (BIC) wich have to have some kind of children safety on...stupid, I know :/
@@MDPrepper dope heads apparently scrape the [phosphorus?] off the tip for making methamphetamine. Bad apples.
u made a homemade slug. i'll remember that!
ich hab 2 shuhkartons voll mit kienspan was ich mir an einem nachmittag zusammengesammelt habe
ich wage mal zu behaubten das ist genau so gut oder evtl besser als deine wax feuerstarter, vorallem weils mich halt nix gekostet hat und harz besser brennt als wax ;D
Does the choke on the shotgun barrel have any affect on a wax slug? Slug, Cylinder, Modified, Full choke?
+Whomagoose Long ago soldier -a too tight choke can break the wax slug apart...at least in theory...I personally had no problems so far...even with rifled chokes
Hej från Värmland i Sverige (Y)
Very good information video!
What about those bolt-action rifles on the rack ?
You gonna do a video about them?
+Marcello Antonio Ledda -they're all surplus rifles from WW2...some I going to convert (sporterize) ...but I'm definitely going to make a video about them someday.
Don't feel bad about strike any where matches. We have them in the USA but they are crap now days and not dependable like we use to have. The Government limited the amount of red phosphorus that can me on the strikers also on the regular matches.
A company bought out the other strike anywhere matches, usually one strike ant the tip is gone. The match stike is so then now they will snap real easy.
We use to be able to raise a leg up and strike them on the taunt Levis or denim, or anything else. No more !
i learned from Sweden fjallraven wax is law!
have you tried cut shell's for your shotgun?
+Bill Carlin -sure...they're fun to.
Great video! You can also make a slug by cutting shotgun shell around the wadding. iraqveteran8888 has a really good video on cut shell slugs on their youtube channel
i wanna live like you
Why are strike anywhere matches not available in Austria?
+jooky5 -they are banned by law...
You mean axes, not exes? All my exes live in Texas.
Anyway, where did you guys serve? Mountain troops? Airborne? Armored Infantry? Recon?
+woodsman forlife -I served in a mountain reconnaissance unit as a part of a infantry battalion...my brother joined the austrian special forces (commando unit) and later the MP in Kosovo and Bosnia.
THX! Myself a Ranger. 2 tours in the Middle East, 1x Africa.
Keep up the good work!
woher bekommt man so qualitative knie-pads in österreich? :D
the boot wax works great bee's wax seem to work better
better fire starter than the bowdrill ! nicht war? ;)
+la mesnie païenne -that's right xD
PostapocalypticGarage : and the slug made of birdshot is awesome, worthy of Demolition ranch !
pellets, beads have holes
What type of wax?
+Josephine Young -these grave candles are mainly made from paraffin wax
bee or synthetic wax
8:12 now go hunt some Nazgul
Wax slugs are grate, but DON"T EVER USE GLUE TO MAKE SLUGS!
I know you guys would never do that, but somebody just might. Thanks
How to make wax if you dont have it?
Micael Machado Get a beehive
Jaded Lion Always when I see beehive I keep far from it, if you in their flying area they attack you. We fear more bee attack then snake in the woods.
Bees!!!!!
Micael Machado where I live we keep hives in our backyards
Nice, i guess here some people do it as well, but here when we go to the bush, we look out if have near by some hives or swarm of bees flying around to prevent attacks and look where you walk because snakes. Here is tropical have too much bugs, mosquitoes..
Thank you for sharing. Great information keep up the great work.
