"The more you know, the less you carry" Mors Kochanski
That's true!!
I always said when watching those silly "naked and afraid" survival shows that I'd bring my SAK with me… you are allowed one item… my SAK is definitely what I would chose! Those people who brought a fire starter or a net, I laughed at…. With a SAK, you got everything you need…!
After a while, ye can't carry anything while being a Genius... XD
@@kauhisthehorrorguy in a similar vein, an expert knows more and more about less and less until he eventually knows everything about nothing
A lot of disasters befall experienced people who get complacent and fail to prepare for anything other than what they planned for occurring. Proper planning is a balancing act between being prepared and being overburdened. A lot of people stop carrying too much stuff, e.g. a medical kit, because they haven't had to use it much and get caught up in ultralight mentality and overconfidence in their ability. I haven't had to use my seatbelt in a while but I always wear it. The ol "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" addage applies to the outdoors.
Felix ,The Master of Swiss Army Knife !
Thank you so much Dennis!!
Servus Felix.
Ich finde deine Videos zu den Schweizer Messern und was du so alles drum herum machst einfach nur geil.
Daumen hoch mein Freund und bescheren uns noch weitere geile Videos.
Vielen Dank Ralf!!
you a a very special guy , with all you do with just a little swiss army knife , very goood

Die anderen Bushcrafter sind wirklich gut, für mich bist du der BESTE, weil ich bei dir bislang mit Abstand am meisten lernen konnte und viel davon schon real umsetzte. Eigentlich weiß ich erst durch dich, wie wertvoll meine Victorinox-Sammlung ist. Das Messer ist nur ein Stück des Weges zum Ziel! - Horst Kaltenhauser
Uffffff, das ist ein fettes Lob. Dein Kommentar freut mich gewaltig...vielen Dank!
I'm glad I fell into this channel. I wanted to see what could be done with a folding knife for bushcraft. This should be fun to try out.
JUST MORE FELIX MAGIC" TUNE IN NEXT WEEK HE WILL BUILD A CAR WITH JUST A SWISS KNIFE AND A OLD LOG!!! KEEP IT UP BUDDY.
Hello Stuart. Thanks a lot for your funny comment!
I watch the video with curiosity. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Using SAK to make wedge to use for making a larger wedge,
Brilliant!
Use a wedge to make a wedge. Nice.
Haaa ha haa, exaktly. Use a small wedge to make a bigger wedge.
Actually you used a wedge to make a wedge to make a wedge, since the knife too is a wedge. This is probably one if not the most useful video you have.
Such baller music to fit such a baller of a human being. Great stuff Felix. Thank you for doing what you do
Felix I can truly say you have one of the finest channels on UA-cam, thank you for your time and dedication.....ATB
Thanks a lot for this wonderful feedback!
eines der besten videos die ich bisher gesehen habe.
mensch, felix, großartig!
Vielen Dank für das super nette Feedback!
@@FelixImmler ist nur die wahrheit😉
super cool! thanks, Felix!
Great bushcraft skill. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your wealth of information. You are a great teacher.👍🏻
Thanks a lot Dave! So nice of you...
I've enjoyed a number of your videos. You certainly put the craftsman in bushcraft. Respect!
Hello Timothy. Thanks a lot for your compliment!
Plenty of useful uses!
Glad you think so!
Love these SAK videos, danke Felix!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you particularly for the technique for splitting off proto-wedges.
I will try to remember to do this today and also see if be switching between the ends one can make a series of wedges.
Hello Steve. Thank you so much!!
Can't get enough of these fantastic insights by Felix.
Hello Steve. Thank you so much!
Just stunning, Felix.
Thank you Craig!
Brilliant Job Mate once again Felix thanks Mate for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks a lot
Like the different style, showing the uses of a wedge, then discussing the build. 👍
Thanks a lot Tommy! 👍
great video! Thank you! if you pivot knife 90 degrees after you drive it in, then start the wedge, the knife keeps crack open a little, the knife is a handle to hold the wood, the wedge makes it easier to remove the knife.
Thanks for your valuable hint!
Love your videos, I'm always learning something new. Even after my 47 years of living in and around woods an practicing bush craft. I've underrated the Swiss Army Knife. Although I have owned many they lived in the bottom of my pack. So seeing how capable they are is new and exciting.
Thank you so much for your nice comment!!
Отличный канал!!! Отличные идеи 💡! Просвещающий и обучающий канал! 👋🤝👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very good information, thank you so much!
Hello James. Glad it was helpful!
I'm always amazed at what you can do with a Swiss Army knife. Your tips and tricks are very helpful to me. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for watching dear Doctor 🤠
Schönes Video, Felix
Smile das ziel ist der Weg.
Wenn man weis wie, ist eine Keilherstellung kein Problem.
schönes Wochenende gewünscht.
Vielen Dank Günter!
Good tips , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks a lot Michael!!
Nice tip on protecting the knife
Yes! Thanks a lot for your comment!
Always informative thank you
So nice of you
I've never own a swiss army knife and ure videos makes me want to buy one.
a Swiss Army Knife is mostly a good investment! 😆😆😆
@@FelixImmler but I'm confused whether to buy the huntsman or the farmer x...😂
@@FelixImmler can u tell me which one should I buy. The farmer x or the huntsman?
When you think about it,you actually use more wedges than you think.
Great video Felix
That's true... Thanks a lot Steve!
Great video, love the direction you are going with your channel!
Thanks so much!
Great tips! Thanks!
Hello Jerry. You're so welcome!
Thank you again Felix, for all the time and effort you put into making these videos. Thanks to you, two little boys in the Netherlands think their uncle (me) is a wizard with a pocketknife!
Haa ha haa, your comment makes me happy! Thanks a lot Erwin!
Excellent camp assistant! Wedges are a simple machine that punch above their weight class. Show how to make make a one piece wooden mallet with a bucksaw and wedges from a short log. Also a great tool for camp chores.
Great suggestion!
Felix, you are amazing, informative and entertaining. Thank you for all the high quality videos you share with us
Thanks a lot for your valuable support!!
Thank you Felix for another special video.
Vasileios and my son Harris from Greece.
( we didn’t heard the phrase HELLO YOU TOO !!)
Tolles Video. Gibt Lust aufs nachmachen.
Das freut mich. Danke Ralf
Shims and wedges. I use them in flooring, windows, cabinet installation and finish carpentry inside the house. You can move tons of material with them outside in construction and, are you ready? Vehicle rescue and heavy rescue and building collapse! I used my "play" in woodcraft and farming to learn more in my technical and heavy rescue in my career profession. Again, as always, you give an excellent class and give even more tips of value. Bravo!
Hello David. Thank you so much!!!!
@@FelixImmler Felix, you are a master, true master of your craft and can teach it to others. It is a privlege to know you and learn from you you. A secret: I am a very tough but also forging manager, leader, commander and administrator. I demand the best but only expect it after I have trained the person or trusted a proven trainer to do it. I expect and demand the very best of all that work below me AND who work above me! I have trained many senior officers to become better. I say all this because you really are the master here. I enjoy all you do. I am hot or cold, people hate me or people love me. To be frank, I don't care as long as they do their job they are paid to do. In your case, you are deserving of much better. Your dedication and loyalty serves Victorinox proudly. You are the best of the best if the best. and Victorinox knows it. And I know it.
I’ve learned something 👍👍
Super..that makes me happy. Thank you!
Wowwwwww like allways top merci felix und schoens wochenende
Vielen Dank Boris!
You rock dude! Love your channel. Awesome content and craftsmanship skills. Powerful information.
You comment makes me happy Dan!
Thank you for video! Show your collection of Victorinox please!
Yes...yes...YYYES... Once again such a great tip for bushcrafting... Since I've seen so many dudes breaking theyre knives batoning wood, thinking that a thicker knife shall stand the vibrations of the wood or stone hammering, and with a lack of knowledge that some metals do not stand the vibrations between the tuked blade in the log and the hand grip by haveing to tight, and so it gets broken in the weakest point... That this videi tip it's GEAT... Thanks Immler
You are the best !!👊👊
Thank you so much Carlos!
I haven't tried this yet but have you considered starting your split with the saw. Just cut a notch in the wood and use the wedge to split it. I'll have to try it myself now but if it does work it could be a much better option than trying to baton with a slip joint.
I tried it and it didn't work. Their was no crack in the wood for the wedge to "chase". I'll try again but it's not too promising.
I've used it for 6 in logs and it works fine for me, you just have to make the wedge very thick at the top and taper very fast at the bottom. If you do a traditional wedge thats fairly slender the whole way it won't split that well.
Wow very cool brother and simple hello from Detroit Michigan USA Great video Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much brother!
Thank you once again .I have the huntsman and changed out the handle scales with the ink pen I use it soo much appreciate your videos
👋🇧🇾🤘Felix, the Best VixMan! Thank's a lot 👍👍👍!
Thanks a lot for your nice comment!
@@FelixImmler 🤘
Lets not forget the most important wedge of all, the blade of your knife!
You are right...
Great video! I love this stuff!
Thank you very much!
Another excellent video! Thanks from London England 👍💪😎🏴🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Felix I hope Victorinox is paying you, and well! I am sure I am not alone in "needing" a new SAK after watching you work!
Hallo Felix, kleine Keile kann man nicht genug haben! LG Micha
Haaa ha haa, ganz genau!
Great sir love from Bangladesh
Video molto utile...sostengo da molto tempo che un Victorinox usato bene è meglio di qualsiasi altro coltello costosissimo! Sei grande Felix!
Grazie per il tuo prezioso supporto!
Wer braucht diese ganzen Messer Vergewaltiger auf UA-cam. Die sollten mal deinen Kanal Abonieren .
Zwei Schweizer einmal the Brain ( Felix ) und das Messer,so einfach kann das sein. Immer wieder Danke für Deine Inspiration en .Ich habe echt viel gelernt von Dir und das mit Viel Freude. Gruß Roland
Danke Roland. Dein Kommentar freut mich sehr!
You have probably heard this already but just in case as a tip! At 1:11 you hammer the wedge in so that it ia pushing the wood fibres of the mallet head apart, wanting to split the head. By placing the wedge so that it is 90 degrees offset from the grain direction of the mallet head, it is much stronger!
Extra Daumen hoch für die Nippel- . . .äh, ich meine Wäscheklammer! ;-))
Gruß Tino
Haaa ha haa, die Nippelklemme ist geil! 😂😂😂😂
Felix, can I come to your place and hang out for a week or two? I would love that! Love the videos, thanks for sharing! Blind in the states
Super nice of you. Thanks a lot!
Okay Felix, there are endless uses for wedges. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much Jose!!!
awesome. Thank you...you rock
Thank you so much!
Great video!
Thanks for the visit
Grüße dich Felix, ja da hast du recht, so ein Holzkeil kann in den unterschiedlichsten Situationen hilfreich sein. Schön gezeigt und erklärt. Grüße Marco
P.S. habe laut thumbnail gedacht, du arbeitest heute mit dem von mir geliebten Evo 17. Wieder nix 😂🙋♂️
Haaa haa haaa, ja, musst noch ein titelbild machen und habe das erste Messer genommen, dass auf dem Tisch lag 😂
super video! danke mein freund...
Hey Sicky. Danke für's Vorbeischauen!!!!
Another great informative video!! Thanks again Felix!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I heard that Felix built Rome in a day with his Victorinox! Great film and thank you!!!
Thank you so much 😁
As always, a very useful class on a simple but highly solvent tool that allows us to solve cutting, configuration and repair problems of other tools in a fast and simple way. A very useful and interesting video, like all the others.
Thank you very much, Felix, for the gift of your ingenuity and dedication on the channel. 👍😉
for sure this is a useful idea,essential i could say.you can even to unlock your car door,with a sak and some wedges.
...yes but you are NikGyver 😂
Was just wondering how you were doing yesterday! Great to see another useful video. The wedge is a very old, yet very powerful and versatile tool. Take care.
Thank you so much for your kind comment!
Fantastic Felix!! Thank for the video, very useful...
Hello Felipe! i am glad you enjoyed it!
Title alone got you a sub. I've stumbled upon something.
Hello Paul. Welcom on board!
great tool, great talent, many thanks! 🙂
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful
Felix - I am very thankful for what you demonstrate to us. You are creative. -Carl
Thanks a lot Carl!
great info, thanks.
Hi Felix! As a result of watching some of your videos I now use that small blade a LOT more than before. Thanks for showing this in your video.
These tips are awesome 👏 and could never get enough! Thanks Felix...appreciate all you do my friend!
Hello Nikki. Glad you like them! Thanks for your comment!
I always said when watching those silly "naked and afraid" survival shows that I'd bring my SAK with me… you are allowed one item… my SAK is definitely what I would chose! Those people who brought a fire starter or a net, I laughed at…. With a SAK, you got everything you need…!
true. worst was that one lass who brought a premade bow-drill-set. needless to say, she didnt last long.
This is good stuff. I use wedges and shims at work and can craft them from my surroundings because of videos like this
Thank you so much for your comment!
Great tip on how to make the longer wedges. Thanks for sharing Felix!
Hello Michael. Thanks for watching!
Every day I am more glad to have found your channel. You are great! greetings from Argentina 👍🏻
Awesome! Thank you!
Excellent and very interesting to know. Thank you for showing your skills ✊✊✊✊
My pleasure! Thanks a lot Richard.
Hi Felix, once more great ideas and knowledge, have a good weekend Regards Will.
Hello Willi. Thanks, you too!
it's so nice to come home from school and sit down to watch the new video. keep up the great work! love from the Netherlands!
Yay! Thank you!
my man giving out the secrets thank you
Thanks a lot for watching!
Recently my daughter shamed me by saying she already learnt thanks to your instructional tips, and then I realised how she had already beaten me by starting to learn bushcraft a long time ago. Felix, thank you so much for inspiring my young daughter. *Hugs* Wendi
Thanks for opening my eyes to the usefulness of a wedge, it just makes sense that a lot of things can be done with a simple wedge…
Glad it was helpful! Thanks a lot John.
Keile waren immer schon ein beliebtes, einfaches und effektives Mittel um Kräfte zu verstärken und zu übertragen. Vielen Dank lieber Felix für dieses Video! Ich bewundere immer deine Leichtigkeit und deinen geringen Materialaufwand (ein Victorinox genügt meist), mit dem du die tollsten Dinge zauberst!👍👍👍
Ganz liebe Grüße aus Wels in die schöne Schweiz und ein schönes, erholsames Wochenende!
Vielen dank Willi. Dein KOmmentar freut mich speziell!
Another excellent video, my friend! Thanks for all the demonstrations of the usefulness of the bushcraft wedge.
My pleasure! Thanks a lot my friend!
Thanks!!
No problem!
Once again I have learned alot.
My edc is a SAK Huntsman and one handed Centennial locking SAK. I feel invincible with these 2 power house pocket knives thanks to you and all you share. Love it, thank you Felix✌
Til next week.
Felix! Dude! Another beautifully crafted bushcraft skills vignette. Love it.
Thank you very much!
Very ingenious, Felix! Now I'm thinking of lots of ways to use wedges!
Super...thanks a lot!
Honestly, I am not a fan of folding knives, but Victorinox it's not included in that group. It's not only the knife, it's the best instrument in the world!👍
Thank you so much brother!
Looking at the offset wedge and thinking 'crank out a few dozen more of these and we've got the makings of a wooden jet turbine engine'. Then I put down my drink.
