    Another epic adventure! Fatwood is wonderful. I love the smell, the sight of the dark, resinous smoke signaling success. A little tip you may already know: file the spine of your Mora to a sharp 90° angle, then scrape the fatwood sticks with the spine. It creates a sticky “dust” like what you got with the Leatherman (?) that takes a spark more easily than shavings.

    • @drockdrockdrock
      @drockdrockdrock 2 роки тому

      Filing the spine also allows it to be better used for throwing sparks from a ferro rod. Most knives have a ever so slightly rounded spine which just slips along the ferro rather than scraping it deep enough to throw a shower of sparks.

      This is honestly the part about Xander’s videos that makes him so magical. Tons of guys do it but Xander has perfected it. He knows how to tell a compelling visual story with his angles and timing of clips. He is incredible and I personally would hate to have that magic “stolen” from me by having it all explained for me. I love being surprised each time like a kid at a magic show. Keep the wonder alive Xander. That’s my vote at least. And anyone who agrees with me can like my comment or they can like the one above me if they want to see the magic ruined. Lol.

    “Put things in a pot and add cheese until it tastes good” is my favorite cooking method.
    Also, when you cook meat and have potatoes with it, put the juice left behind in the pot over the potatoes. It is 😙👌🏻
    Beautiful video as always!!

    Ok, first off let me congratulate you for being among the first of the Bushcraft UA-camrs to address having a bowel movement in the woods. This subject never gets any commentary, but the reality is that if you are camping out, more than likely you will need to relieve yourself somewhere during your outdoor adventure. nice demo on how to dispose of your pile of waste. I usually just pile a heaping of snow on my masterpiece and then poke a few sticks in the pile as a reminder of what lies below! I also carry a pack of nonscented baby wipes which I keep in my inside coat pocket to keep them from freezing. Comes in handy sometimes

    Thanks to your videos I've slowly started going out on trips and dayhikes with the hopes of doing things I see in these videos, you inspire me to go back to nature in more minimal and spiritual ways, it's challenging but that's what it's all about- being in a tough situation makes you forget about trivial things be it work or friends etc, it's theraputic and reminds me I'm human - thank you

    A truism about the food. At home, not so much. But camping in the cold.... that's some good cooking!
    As always you seem to nail the moment.
    Thanks for another throughly entertaining trip.
    Be well, stay safe.

    I keep seeing a reacuring theme on this channel, croissant sandwiches, tortilla, cheese and salami wraps, baked potato with cheese and green onions. But cheese seems to be the cohesive factor. Food is life I agree.

    so i tried overnight winter camping for the first time in minus 27 C. i was in a tipi hot tent, with a stove, and a ridiculous amount of sleep system gear, and only kinda-sorta limped by. not comfortable, but doable. so to see you out there with only a tarp and an open fire, it blows my mind to see you tough it out in stride, especially with less kit! you're a warrior!

      It got to -20 only on his last day, it looked like it was about -5-10 during the rest of the video. Otherwise he would've definitely received frostbite on his hands while working with tools and no gloves at the very least.

  • @matthewkopysh2788
    @matthewkopysh2788 2 роки тому

    What you eat is such an amazing and critical component of these videos.
    I'd encourage you to bring some sweet potato along on your next journey. Throw them right into the coals - bury them in the ash if you can. They'll come out blackened and puffed up on the outside, and they'll have steamed in their own shell. Throw some butter in there, because butter is delicious. No waste to carry out - just huck the shells into the woods for nature to scavenge.
    Thanks for another inspirational film. I look forward to heading out again soon (when the overnights in Algonquin aren't below -30º).
