I love how you just casually carve a wooden stake that looks so good/fresh someone could sell them on Etsy or Amazon :D And it's sturdy enough to go vampire slaying with. I would have never thought about doing the top/poundy end that way, either, thanks for sharing!
A plumber's vice. I have seen people use this method of cutting wood before, but I never knew the name. Thanks for the info. “Love this channel” Keep them coming.
That plumber/saw technique you talked about. I was as at my boy scout troop's scout-o-rama outside of an indoor mall Dairy Queen, circa 1988. I'm 15 & teaching people how to build small three stick/rope stools with tied knots in the mall walkway.. Someone asked me how I cut the sticks. I showed him how I did it the night before with that plumber trick. Always be a student. That's for me..
Got your book a few weeks ago. Just started reading it as I was in the middle of the SAS Survival Handbook when yours arrived. Canterbury's Bushcraft 101, SAS Survival Handbook and Into The Wilderness. I want to know things.
You know, when I've made things like this, I've always made my initial cut with the saw at a 45 degree angle. That way I create two tent Stakes with one saw cut. And since the opposing 45-degree angle cut on each side of the stick create the sturdier point since I'm not carving all of the strong wood away and only left with the pith that the tip. And I don't have to use my knife to sharpen it.
I like woodworking, hand tools in particular (think The Woodwright's Shop) because unlike a power tool you'll STOP before you saw your finger off. But maybe not with a Silky! Ugh, a jagged bloody mess, don't even want to think about LOL. Ninja test...good for vampires too I suppose.
A lot of reasons none of us use them. Can’t boil in them long term, hard to keep clean, subject to puncture, can’t cook in them, can’t make char in them. They are really just a fragile bag for holding water.
Almost accidentally disliked.... on full screen the thumbs up option is gone and replaced with the thumbs down... why yt why must you constantly try to fix what isn't broken. Great tip thanks for sharing.
I know it may be irreverent for me to disagree, because i admire your content so much, but given that the stake should be buried in an angle away from the cord and that the outer wood is the hardest for the tip, i think carving the point in a chisel style on the opposite side of the notch is better. Thanks as always for your content :)
So many sailors, so few captains. You are a captain sir.

Did not realize that about rounding the top, learn something new everyday. Great video
How the hell can you make fabricating a tent stake so captivating? Nice job, as always. And, thank you!

Never seen that plumbers hold before, fantastic! Totally makes sense of course

I would love a remake of your natural char tinder how to tutorial!
That was the video from 2 weeks ago if you missed it
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret I see it now, thanks! Keep up the great content!
I've found myself having to do this a time or two over the years.

Quick question, I love hydration bladders, but I never see any of you guys use one, am I missing something? Thanks for all you do

Same here.
Just noticed on a different video the thumbs up was back to normal. Came back to check, and it is there again... 🤷🏼♂️
@@raycar1165 Yup, it *is* back. Damnedest thing.
