May I Suggest. When catching water from the top of the stream, you can take a handkerchief or some form of cloth to cover the water bottle. Then submerge the bottle slightly under the surface of the water to collect. Holding the cloth material over the opening should help filter the water quite an bit more. I've used that method often and helps tremendously. Thank You for the video.
nettle can be used as a substitute for spinach and if you let it soak in water it will make a good fertilizer for the garden. Nettle collects harmful nitrates. Therefore, nettles for human consumption should not be collected from places that are too succulent, nitrogenous, such as the edges of barns or fertilized farmland. Here's how to make a fertilizer: Put on gloves to protect against hives Collect 1kg of fresh nettles or use 200g of dried nettles Put the nettles in a bucket and pour over 10 l of water Stir and let stand for 2 weeks Dilute 1:10 and use in the vegetable garden as a fertilizer The fertilizer solution may smell unpleasant, but don’t let it bother you!
You can catch crabs and lobster with even just chunks of greenery from land and facet it to a small rock so it sinks. They aren't picky. I can remember crabbing as a child with my grandfather and we used to just pick grass and tie it to a string and throw it in the water, then when we felt the crab 'tug' at it we would gradually pull the string in little by little where grandpa was waiting with a net.
@@poshpoultry8721 I'm not saying crabs are difficult, my grabdfather and I would use the same trick just using meat that had started to go bad, but, at least in my experience, there are days where yoy are pulling them up faster than you can store them and there are days where you never get a bite. Even in pretty poor conditions limpets are pretty much everywhere and you aren't gonna have to take the chance that something might not bite because you can just use visuak identification.
@@Freakmaster480 I've never used limpets as I live in FL and we don't have those here. We pick up sand fleas (a small crustacean) and use those if we have to.
Thank you for letting the Tarpon go! I live in St. Augustine FL, our beaches and wetlands are suffering harshly because of humans. Really appreciate you letting it go!
I've gotta tell you, I just stumbled on your channel today, and I've been binging the quick tips videos. You have such a soothing voice that I can't help but be at peace watching your videos. The production quality is too notch! Plus the information is amazing and I am learning so much!
great video! Especially the bit about filling the water bottle backward to the flow and from the top of the steam. Black plastic will also sweat moisture from grass, but you can't see how much. I always carry a small magnifying glass in the back pack or camera bag to start a fire,close up attachment lens can also work. Make sure your tinder is DARK coloured and dry to reduce reflection. In the southern hemisphere the sun rises in the north east just note( reverse in the Nthn hemi) just see where the sun is in the early AM and that's basically East. Most rivers flow to the sea,usually past habitation, in a pinch just follow the stream.
Cheers chap really enjoyed these tips and ill be even trying some this weekend thank you chap. I'll pop and see you at the bushcraft show soon, take care and stay safe
@@bena3341 nah a lot of our rivers and lakes are now poluted with nitrogen and bacteria from farming run off. + Giardia is present in many NZ waterways. I would boil it at the very least if you dont have a sawyer or lifestraw
There are problems with using a stick shadow in that way to find North. That's about as accurate as moss growing on the north side of trees, and maybe that's all you need to avoid getting turned around and find your way out of a wilderness, but if you really want to know the directions, it's a bit more complicated than that. Depending on the time of day and time of year, the method shown could have you thinking NE or NW is North. At (or near) the equinoxes, the method shown works well all day, but near the solstices, you'd be heading off at an angle in the morning or afternoon, though near local solar noon, it would still aim you fairly accurately. There is a method that works year-round if you can stay put for several hours, even without a timepiece. Set a straight stick vertically and make marks of its shadow tip for several hours from morning into the afternoon. This will create a curve or line on the ground, with the closest approach to the stick being near local solar noon (and showing approximate North). Measure from the base of the stick to the shorter end of the arc and mark the point on the other, longer side that is that same distance from the stick. A straight line between these two points will run exactly East-West, and North will be at a right angle to the line.
Good video. I use the cap of a 1/2 liter water or soda bottle. Place a coin in the cap and use that as a bearing block for the bow drill. Of course you can use some other bottle cap also that fits a coin inside.
Man I really have to say that your videos are really great. It’s really nice to see that there are at least a few of us like that who enjoy the wilderness. I wonder which bushcraft or survival knife would you recomend the most, becouse a friend lost it. I hope you will record another video, for example 10 in 10. Bye and thanks for your opinion! :)
Amazing video as always. I really love tips that simple and short like this. easy to understand And really usefull information (Sorry for my english.still learning)
It was great to meeting you at the Outdoors Festival 👍 wish you were coming to the wilderness gathering but of course there are always things that get in the way. Keep up the mint work Mike 👏
Thanks Mike for a great set of tips. With watch navigation in the Southern hemisphere you need to point the 12pm marker to the sun and find the middle point to the hour hand. And you need to point the 1pm marker towards the sun during our daylight savings time. I assume you'd do something similar to adjust for British summertime?
I agree with you on the nettle fiber about the strongest natural fiber I’ve found, I’ve found that the best time to Harvest the fiber is in the fall or winter when it is dead it’s easy to collect in the morning or on a moist day, it’s a lot stronger than when the plant is green in my experience. The watch technique is not very accurate partly since time is standardized and is not true solar time. I recommend the natural navigator by Tristan Gooley for a more in depth understanding of finding your way using the sun, stars, and many other natural clues. I have used the shell as a bearing on a bow drill with success and you’re right about burning your hand! make sure you have some padding, also a piece of fat wood from pine makes a good bearing block.
Using a battery to light a fire with steel wool or other things (technically shorting the battery) WILL NOT WORK WITH ALL BATTERIES! As recently seen on another channel, _rechargeable_ lithium batteries commonly have a protection circuit that makes them useless for fire starting . . . unless you puncture the battery and get the lithium to self-ignite.
I live in northern Mississippi and I have found that kudzu makes awesome cordage and it is very durable and when dried and braided can make for a decent rope to tie off for the start of your lean to or just to have some natural light rope.
Love the video, also has anyone been subscribed since the A-frame video? I watched ta outdoors grow from a small channel to the largest channel that does outdoor shelters . Hope you all have a nice day.
This was a really good video. Never knew most of this. Thanks! Also a subscriber to TA Fishing, another great channel. How is the pallet wood cabin doing these days?
Love the videos man , on sundial skill I was originally taught put your left foot on the first stone and right on the second boom , facing north , but I like your method as well , keep them coming

"High quality H2O", was that a 'The Waterboy' reference?
Hahah, was wondering if I was the only one to catch that.
"GATORADE!"
Was definitely a waterboy reference I think it's an underrated film
Yes sir
Only for the 10 people who saw the movie.
Thanks for the educational videos. 👍
Life with nature always brings us peace. I am also growing my own vegetables, raising fish and raising chickens in the forest. everything is very nice
Really cool! Where do you do that?
Loving these "10 tips", also really really enjoying the info on all the various plants ::)
Hey thanks for the heart, it's cool to know you keep track of us in the comments. Much love from New Zealand ::)

10 tips is my favorite because it really affirms the things I know and I get to learn some things I didn't know. Keep them coming
Once again this series is amazing!
I really enjoyed this vid. I hope you're planning on doing more of these.
1:59 instead of eating the limpet to gain very little calories use it to catch a crab or lobster to gain more calories.
Limpets are almost no effort to gather though.
You can catch crabs and lobster with even just chunks of greenery from land and facet it to a small rock so it sinks. They aren't picky. I can remember crabbing as a child with my grandfather and we used to just pick grass and tie it to a string and throw it in the water, then when we felt the crab 'tug' at it we would gradually pull the string in little by little where grandpa was waiting with a net.

0:30 next time flip the case inside out so that when you want to quickly store the map, the inside won't be wet !

Good job UA-cam. I live in the American desert and you give me British people talking about woodland and coastal survival. Keep up the good work TA.
I learn from this video
Finally ive been lost in the woods for days now and I found the video I need to survive
skill issue
Have you tried not being lost?
2:55 Easy life in Norway when we never boil or filter the water from streams and rivers due to fairly clean water.
New Zealand as well
@@bena3341 nah a lot of our rivers and lakes are now poluted with nitrogen and bacteria from farming run off. + Giardia is present in many NZ waterways. I would boil it at the very least if you dont have a sawyer or lifestraw

Really liked the down stream trick for filling the water bottle! Probably would not have thought of that

Actually easy stuff. But the thing is one must practise it for two reasons.... to get it right and to remember it. Nice video!!!
Great 10 of 10 tips. Nice water collection. 💯❤👍
Cool tips!!!
awesome. super useful tricks.
Love the 10 in 10 for teaching. Scouts love them. Keep up the good work.
one of the best chaneals give all aabo for this
He said, “ You see the vapor??? The condensation will not hydrate you, but will definitely fill your time as you dehydrate...” 😝
Thank you Mike for sharing your talents with us. Watch n learn.

So your name is mike
Thanks for this video.
Great tips. I can tell you put the hours of practice in.
Feels like someone's been watching some Alfieaesthetics vids recently 🤣

Great to meet you and your dad at the outdoors festival. It made the trip worthwhile. Keep up the fantastic work.
Cheers Chris!
Actually, the steel wool acts as a resistor, that’s why it heats up.
Much love to TA Outdoors thank you for the vids
Protective map case great idea to carry
I love this series! Keep it up
The stick and shadow one is cool .
Good series recommended you to build Celtic roundhouse
Thank you , Mike .
Perfect timing! 😎
Good tips 👍
Thanks for all of the great tips
Good advices
Thanks so much for Sharing. Super good information.
U became quite an expert! Keep it that way! We watching u all around the world. Me personally, watching u from Romania. ;)
Spinach from little nettles is delicious and healthy. use the fresh small leaves and cook them, till the fall apart. easy meal :)
I use the solar compass a lot, but I'm curious to know how to navigate using the stars for walking during the winter.
More on that soon
@TA Outdoors That's awesome.
4:30
IIRC, the solar compass show north when we're in the southern hemisphere. ;)
How can be correct the sundial method?? If you try 15 minutes later with the second shadow and a "third" shadow, the north is different! Or not?

Top work, Mr Pullen!
Love the 10 tips series .love from antartica brother
Thanks for the tips Mike. Looking forward for your next video.🙏🏻
What a great video loved it nicely done
Thanks Mike! 👍😁
If anyone wants a good tutorial on how to prepare nettle fiber, Sally Pointer has good tutorials. That's where I learned!

Waw amazing
Great tips Mike.👍
Best of luck on the scotland trip....hope you lot raise lots more dosh!
Good video. 👍💪 I just made today my first bow drilled fire. and that was cool. lol
Great to see a vid off ya ..top tips 👍👍👌

Love the videos man , on sundial skill I was originally taught put your left foot on the first stone and right on the second boom , facing north , but I like your method as well , keep them coming
what survival knifes do u reccomend
This video is very good, I am waiting for the latest video from you, greetings from Indonesian Borneo
Nice
Cool videos dude, enjoyed the content and video style !
Hi Mike. A tip for the bag on trees to get water make sure you know it is not a poisonous plant you want to survive not cause yourself harm.
Great video buddy new here
The uv light through the plastic bag can also help purify water over a long period of time
Parabéns Pelo Canal e Que Deus Abençoe a Todos!!!
Cool x
