    Your one of the most amazing dudes out there on youtube. Not only do you share useful knowledge about survival but you don't molest the viewer with any kind of ads, asks for likes or clicks onto affiliate links. I give your videos a like because of that. Yeah and also I really like the useful knowledge that you share. Sir, you are a scholar, a gentleman and a original human being!

      Yeah, begging for subs and thumbs up is very annoying, just like ads. So this is really nice to be free of this stuff here. 👍🏻

    In the winter that cattail fluff can also be used for insulation purposes. Take it and stuff it between your outer layer and the one beneath that, stuff it down the arms, around the body and any place you can get it. Tie a cord around your lower waste first to keep it from falling out the bottom. It works very well to keep you warm in freezing temps. Back in the early 1970s I sewed the ends of sleeves, fronts and bottoms of two shirts together and stuffed them with cattail fluff and it was almost like a down jacket. Very warm.

    Possibly the only time I’m glad I didn’t have my 4 and 5 year olds with me watching this! They LOVE Pombears and would have wanted my to show them that it actually works as well as wanting a bag each to eat 😂 keep up the great work mate! Looking forward to following and joining you on this years journeys!!

    Hi Mike! I'm 12 and we talked a while back. For the holidays I got Dave Canterbury's set of four Bushcraft books. And that got me thinking. Have you thought about writing a Bushcraft book? I think you're one of the best people for that. You are great at explaining things, and you're also good at demonstrating how to do things. Well, please consider this..... You did a great job with the video. Thanks!😀

    @5:20 Just a note that the very best fish to use for a lamp is (I assume) Eulachon, which is native to the pacific northwest and is so fatty during spawning that you can dry it and burn the whole thing, hence its nickname "candlefish". Never done it myself though.

    Another use for the cattails or any other seed pod like that is to use it for a wind direction indicator while deer hunting instead of those puff things..
    It's free and most times you can pick some up on the way to the stand.
    Cool video!!👍👍

    TA Outdoors, congratulations on surviving the changing Bushcraft Algorithm. I've been a bushcrafter for over 20 years and am amazed at how ornate the "bushcraft" genre has become. yet you manage to maintain your position even though you are not wearing a spandex shirt that inspires the mind to wander.

    Hi ,thanks for the ladder tip.
    One of my first tips of survival is to make a spear shaft to attach my dagger or knife too, as a spear is an excellent hunting and defence weapon or ..
    Make your hiking stick adaptable to accept the knife as a spear handle prior to hikes.
    I take fairy or cake candles &strips of polystyrene for fire starters in a coin plastic for waterproofing..
    For an emergency candle wick a piece of shoelace works great...

    When using cooking oil to oil blades I recommend to use peanut oil cause bacteria can't grow in it. It won't rot. So you don't have to worry about the blades smelling bad after time or cleaning oil fully off when cooking.

    If the pack isn't too heavy, a trekking pole will work for holding it on a tree also. (Handy for the midday stop, but not if you need it to hold up your shelter.)

    On fire starting. One of the best tools I know is a pencil sharpener. It is one of the only blades I know of that will pass TSA with nary a glance. They come in 2 sixes. The standard kids school one and one for sharpening thore wide and flat carpenter pencils. Take a stick of the appropriate size and grind away. You will generate a pile of paper thin wood shavings faster than a fuze stick with a knife. These ultra thin shavings easily light from a spark from a fire steel. Even if the stick is wet only the outer edges are damp the rest is bone dry. And you are left with a pointy stick which could prove useful. In an emergence and you are in a situation you don't have a knife. You could break the plastic and have a sharp cutting tool.Yes such a blage it tiny it could open up fish or skin small game.
