    Andrew,A little summertime trick I use is Vicks instead of vaseline,for cotton ball tinder.The Vicks can be rubbed on you to keep the bugs off(works very well) & Alot safer than Deet.Thanks for keeping us in the know,Cheers!!

    @MasterK9Trainer Рік тому +7

    My God Andrew you just took everything to a whole nother level. Everything you do is based on common sense and a little Ingenuity but I had never seen anybody turn their tender into nearly a powder and then put it onto tape or put it out in the sun to dry. These are the kind of things that make some UA-cam videos real gems. I'm going to have to remember to tell people that if they watch your channel that this is one video they need to see

    DON'T LIGHT YOUR LIGHTER UPSIDE DOWN! Especially a mini Bic. The fuel pours out when you press the button. Only light it straight up and it will last 20 times longer.

    • @MasterK9Trainer
      @MasterK9Trainer Рік тому

      That was a good observation. As I was watching the video I was thinking that I could do the same things he did with some of my less expensive machetes and I do happen to have some Mora knives. Increasing prices they are still bargain-priced

    I've found an 8" wood rasp works well. Half-round flat. Weighs little, use it to make tinder from anything, use fine teeth for mild knife touch-up, and carbon steel takes a spark from flint.

    @peterbogart4531 Рік тому +3

    The Skipper is back! The parang is classic, the saw a time multiplier. The char cloth takes me back to Scouting & my old soldier Scoutmaster many years ago. The several uses of the cottonwood stump & blades are ingenious. In the Arizona desert you can find cottonwood & tough cats-claw stumps still in the ground from who-knows-when. You might be able to use some as dead men for winch or come-along anchors. Spaniards, even from the 1500's, and other pioneers, modified yet-extant saguaros to indicate directions to areas of interest. Campfires in Arizona need to be very carefully controlled. Starting a felonious wildfire is too likely. A small stove on sand is usually best. .

  • @mrkultra1655
    @mrkultra1655 Рік тому +4

    Thanks Andrew. I really like that batoning technique, it’s always safer to bring the work to the blade, versus the blade to the work. Have a great Memorial Day weekend, thank you for your service.

  • @clivedunning4317
    @clivedunning4317 Рік тому +5

    A great video, very straightforward and practical as ever. Can I just add a minor word of caution. I regularly use traditional flint and steel for firelighting. I use Andrew's method of sawing a horsehoof fungus into a grainy powder for getting a ember. A pie tin (Fray Bentos my preferred choice) is great for holding this powder. This method works and is a lot quicker and practical than processing amadou from the fungus. However, please be careful when practicing your firelighting skills. The sparks can take some time to start smouldering, almost lying 'dormant'. This can cause problems if you finish practice and put the fungus powder into storage , check it to make sure a unnoticed ember hasn't started. For some reason this is more of a problem when using a traditional firesteel, it does not seem to be such a problem when using a ferrocerium rod. Stay safe, happy trails, keep up the good work.

Also, I didn't realize you could get dust from sawing a mushroom. I do realize it would have to be dry. Great job on the video.

    Another amazing video, Drew. You broke my heart when you sacrificed part of your shemagh to make char cloth, but it's a good skill to have in emergencies. If we do end up in a S.H.T.F. scenario, I'm heading your way to be in your group. You have one of the best skill sets on UA-cam for surviving the Zombie Apocalypse. I'll handle the electrical power requirements with solar arrays. You can teach me how to achieve consistent head shots (that's the only way to effectively kill zombies; destroy their brain matter)!
