    Wazaaaa!:) So the Primitive Knife I'm using is a really special one! Self-forged from a piece of scrap steel found at the riverside, with just stone tools. Check out the Primitive Forging video together with craftsman Felix Immler here >>> ua-cam.com/video/-I96PM-8uaA/v-deo.html

    Ive been watching Smooth Gefixt for quite some time now.
    And at first I was hesitant of watching after Dylan stopped being in every video but you've completely turned me around.
    Im loving the solo videos a lot more than I expected. Plus you keep cracking me up with your clumsiness please keep showing it in the videos :D.
    Keep up the great videos and 'taking care about nature' as you put it, good to inform the people watching about the big ''no noes'' of survival.

    16:06 they dont kill birch. That brown is a inner bark of birch, Phloem is just a innermost layer of bark. White part of birchbark is just for protection from sunrays in early spring. Birch cant warm so fast, fluids dont move from roots, and during cold night they dont freez. And under that white birch bark is another layer of standart bark.

    • @jesse7300
      @jesse7300 3 роки тому

      And yet it is not. For many of us Fins tarp is just waste of space/something extra to carry. It's useful ofc, but you can build "Laavu" = 'lean-to shelter'. You can just use branches or moss, grass or hay etc. to make it good enough. Tarp would be ideal to make it waterproof fast but far from needed

    • @jesse7300
      @jesse7300 3 роки тому

      Tarp was designed for that lean-to shelter to make it waterproof faster, tarp is not needed for that shelter and imho useless. I'm from Finland and summer nights can go below zero celsius and winters around -40C and F. Have been out there in both conditions, also in warm summer nights, best is lean-to 'laavu in fin' shelter.

    Whenever I settle for a lean to type shelter I like to bring along something for a counter slope if the rain is coming in the opposite direction. A narrow strip that can be affixed to the top as an awning when sitting, or halfway down the back slope and draped over the body when laying down. I realize most of your videos are based upon the premise of not planning for anything more than a hike in the woods (this no food, fire starting materials except maybe a ferorod, and no shelter material ) but even a rain poncho can be used as a counter slope

      Not really ... imagine a tree trunk is like your arm, except 95% of the mass is your bone and all your bloods supply is right under the first few layers of your skin. Cut too deeply (and that’s measured in millimeters) and all the way around and everything from that point to your hand eventually will die.
      My dad keep an apple tree alive and fruiting for 20years with only a hand-width of love bark still attached to the roots. In the end the entire trunk was rotted away and turned into a ants nest and only a single branch bore fruit every other year, but those were the most perfect and sweet apples I had every had

      In some areas the bear density is up to 1 bear per 10 sqkm (that makes around 80 bears in an area with a 10 mile radius).
      I have never had any encounters with bears though (I would like to see a bear in nature sometime....but in distance...).

    Amazing videos. I enjoy everyone of your uploads :D As for the knife, it seems very handy. From what I can see, that might have enough carbon in it to be heat treated and you could have done this yourself (heating and quenching in water and then tempering the blade) just after you made fire. That would have been fun to try :D Keep up the great work you're doing here!

    Have you heard of the Rabbit Stick gathering in Idaho, USA? It is near my home. The people there are awesome. It is hosted by Dave Wescott. He is quite famous and has even been involved training people like Bear Grylls in making a plow fire and such. If you could come for the gathering it would be fantastic! It would be easy for me to help with getting you transport and housing as i am a university professor. Look up the gathering and the host and please think of coming for a visit to Idaho. You could also take advantage of your time here with other trips to Yellowstone Park or the Teton Mountains, or the great rivers of Idaho. And you could speak in University classes as a guest!

    If it's pure iron, then you will need to melt it down with the carbon you were wanting to introduce, that way you can turn it into steel. Which can be hardened

      you can harden rebar but it is mostly guesswork but i made some good knives even from mild steel he just haves to case harden or superquench it

    If u simply make the basic shelter shape like this ' / ' or simply 40° roof you can at least have the emergency rain shelter..haha.but there's always 1st time, and keep improving survival skill

    Hi :)
    I just wanted to add, that to my knowledge and to a cursory internet search, you don't actually kill that tree from removing just a ring of bark, and leaving the underbark still there, as it clearly is.
    You would need to take off the sapwood (the young outer wood), as it is the layer transporting the sugars and water.
    So good news, the tree will live :)

      Interesting theory, however the inner bark might have been damaged here as well.
