A problem with his ‘Average Mike’ series now is that he has learnt so many skills and gotten so quick at picking up new skills that he is no longer ‘average.’
That may be true. But the key is that he will still run into the SAME mistakes as a beginner; that's more valuable to learn than simply the time it takes.
he was average from the begining, he was an avereage person once and he is showing you can do these things but i see what you're saying. kinda true tbh
Two lighters as back up everytime I'm in the woods for extended periods of time. Hundreds of fires worth of capability, rather than a few with the potassium and glycerin.
Mike, you really need to do a "surviving in the wild for a week challenge" Think about it, you know how to fish with natural resources, you know how to find and identify safe food in the forest and you know how to make fire. Im sure you could learn a couple more skills to prepare for it so maybe a 2 part series. DO IT
"Where there's smoke, there's fire... Yeah, that a lot of booushit!" :) I like the persistence and comedy! Very fun to watch. I'll be sure to add my frustration in some of my videos ! :)
As a minecraft player i recomand you to use lava or flint and steel P.S.: Dont forget to put nether Block under It so It won’t stop burning Edit:Thx i never got so manu likes
I tried for like 10mn a day or less, and one month later i could write slowly but rightly. Now (6months later), my left hand writing is almost as good as my right hand one, and i didnt try hard, so i think it is too easy for him 😂
Commenting for that algorithm yo PS absolutely loved the making fire sequence, with the music building, seriously classy man you managed to make that really powerful scene. Best channel on yt!
This to remember with the rotating stick "friction method" is you have to put something underneath to get the burning wood embers, such as a leaf, and make sure to have your tinder bundle ready already because you will have to transfer the embers to it very quickly. Just like Mike had, near the end of the video! And do NOT stop the instant you first start seeing smoke! that's when you keep going!!! You wait until it's REALLY smoking, then you can check for a pile of embers. :) And do not work yourself too hard trying to do it, because you might sweat, which can lead to hypothermia when you're in a survival situation, and also will use up calories you'll have to find food to replace, to keep yourself going to do all the things you need to , to survive. Or hike. Or whatever. :)
I love your videos mate, very inspiring. Some suggestions for you: 1. Learn to make cordage (string, rope). Use your made cordage to revisit the bow drill 2. Learn to make a forge via only natural/gathered materials 3. Learn to find iron ore 4. Learn to make your own axe/knife using only natural/gathered materials in your made forge. Light the forge using the bow drill and your crafted cordage 5. Learn to make a shelter and attempt an overnight camping trip using only your crafted equipment 6. Learn to ride a horse 7. Learn to fly a paramotor 8. Learn to base jump Just some suggestions, gluck!

Notch the top, use some green vine as cordage. Tie a loop on each side. put the the vine rope in the notch and your thumbs in the loop. It will be much easier to maintain pressure and you won't have to reset.
the issue with the hand drill is that the punk is super light meaning you need a lot more down pressure also when bow drilling you can use poppler strands and make rope with it instead of paracord also do it into a leaf doing it on wet ground is a death sentance
my favourite part is when she said "you little shet" i felt that
