Yes please - a real & growing problem. As a woman who works in the woods, I feel there's additional risk for us from needing to 'go' when outdoors with the amount of exposed skin. Staying completely covered all day when working is pretty much impossible as it gets so sweaty and uncomfortable, and then at the end of the day if I change my clothes, I worry that it undoes all the protection I've given myself through the day, as the skin gets exposed again anyway as I change clothes. Very tricky - tips welcome.
Thumbs up 👍 for a tick prevention video please. I had my first tick bite the other week. It was quite the ordeal. Be nice to watch you explain how you prevent ticks when in the woods. Great videos, educational and very enjoyable. Thank you
Mike,could you do a video please on first aid in the out door setting,medicinal plants ect,splinting broken limbs,bleeding ect...Thankyou...Best wishes from Wales 🏴
Hi Mike, many of us appear to be of the outdoor persuasion. I would say a tick video will be a benefit to you as it protects your subscriber base. Cheers bud, keep the videos coming
As a hunter in Nebraska, ticks are my mortal enemies. I swear, every time I put down a tarp in the woods and have a rest, an army of them descend upon me, thirsting for my blood. I think the most I e dealt with in a day was thirty, both on me and coming for me across the tarp like a pack of rabid bloodhounds. Up in the Black Hills though, I never see any.
Yes please do a video on ticks that covers everything its not taught enough specially in this country and i feel its extremely important lymes disease can be very serious
Would love to know more on edible plants and identifying them, and yes a tick prevention video as well as dealing with ticks, could you possibly show us how to remove a tick? As always a great video!
Just watching u n Ur dad Mike bargaining for the fish n fry 😂 Ur dad and the American £15 fire 😂 absolutely brilliant so funny 🤣 much love Vickie Dartford Kent 😊
I use either three small rocks or two pieces of greenwood in a v shape. I put my Cooking pot on top of that. It work's great. only takes seconds to set up.Simplicity, efficiency , not play.
Are you in North America? His county must have treatments for mosquitoes. Also the UK/Europe has an overall thinner population of bugs than North America. Eg screens on windows are rare in Germany .
TA! I've been searching long and hard for a video on resharpening my one man large cross cut saw. Seems like something you and your dad might get down with? You both seem lmao love more traditional tools👍🙏
Hi TA outdoors! How are feeling? I was able to to watch your livestream, when you contracted E. coli..?!, which is really nasty stuff. I’m so sorry. I’m enjoying your channel and content. FYI, I’m new to your channel, I’m having fun watching your videos and trying out some of your techniques and projects, which is, inspiring!! It keeps me in the woods!! Thank you so much for sharing!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️👊🏿 from Washington state, USA
you can use stones or other hunks of wood to hold-togeter the swede bundle, folks. Driving one end into the ground requires you to carry the scott's auger and drill the hole. If you put the bundle up on rocks or sticks for air-intake at the bottom, you dont need the side hole or the auger
There are a lot of hand auger on the web/Amazon, I fear that a lot of them are flimsy. Any recommendation on a particular brand or model ? Great video as always !
The "original" Settlers Wrench sold by Shawn with the Wild is exactly the same as the Weyland bushcraft Settlers Tool. Shawn recommended the 1" size as the most useful. I have both of the augurs I mentioned. They seem to work well, and are sturdy. I have not used them as extensively as I would like.
@@pallavisrivastava7010 I bought one, and tried it, felt it wasn’t worth the effort. But fitted to a drill it works well, and you can do before you go camping:)
Hi mike ! Tks for the content. Do you know some guys who giving tips to find tinder and light a fire in a tropical area ? Greetings from Reunion Island ! 🇷🇪
I can't believe it's 2024 and people still write "first" under posts of any kind, that just happened *Edit* I didn’t realise this would be such a divisive subject
For $30, amazon sells a full-body bugnet suit. it weighs 1/4 lb No need to bother with a fire, or breathe smoke. I wear 2 of them for sleeping, when I'm at risk of spiders, ticks, etc, given all of the diseases spread by insects, you're out of your mind to entrust your health to just a fire's smoke
In Germany we have passed on knowledge from medieval times, that the scent of the leaves of elderberries prevents ticks from biting. every hunters and woodworkers house, farmers house and even in the backyards of city houses had an elderberry bush in one remote corner. It was used as medicine for different purposes. One of the uses was against ticks. I use it every time, i go abroad and rub my ankles and wrists and my neck with it. as entry-points to the interior of the clothes it seems to repel the ticks. when i am hiking with short pants and shirt, i try to rub my whole arms and legs and my neck. It massively minimizes the tick numbers attacking. since 30 years i am also regularly vaccinated against TBE, tick-borne encephalitis, since it is endemic in germany. Since then i ve never got bitten by a tick. They just crawl around but do not bite. I don't know, if its the scent of the elderberries leaves or the scent of vaccination in my blood that they don't like but it works. and it does not stink like the chemicals from the drug store like autan or antibrumm.
Yes a tick video please... can it include preventing ticks on dogs? We have a small 2 acre woodland in the lakes near Windermere. Whenever I go there I seem to remain tick free but my little furry buddy always seems to pick one up... and it's alwayonly 1?
there's no need of the side hole if you put the log up on end on 2-3 sticks or rocks. There's no need of big logs or splitting of them. Just shave the wetness off of 4 logs, on 1 side, Assemble the bundle with t he shaved sides toward the bundle's center and stuff the empty center with dry shavings. ignite one end of the shavings and wave the log around, mostly horizontaly, with GLOVES or mud, etc, to protect your hands, until there is flames coming out of both ends of the bunde. then stand the bundle on end on the rocks or sticks.
I'd like to know of ways that guarantee no ticks, chiggers, or mosquitoes that you've used and trust. DEET can only go so far and some bugs are stubborn.
Foxglove is beloved in many detective novels as the leaves can mistaken for sage by the ignorant (or simply murderous playing ignorant) and fed to people, if you have a weak heart you are more likely to die. Ragwort is also or those with an alcoholic/heavy drinking partner/parent/enemy you want rid of. Tincture of Ragwort (which is allegedly undetectable if placed in food or drink on a regular basis) will end up killing them as t reacts with the alcohol to give them liver failure,and DON'T mistake deadly nightshade berries for black currents either and include them in a jar of ''jam''... (Thanks to Agatha Christie among others for their accurate knowledge of natural poisons and their effects on the unfortunate victims) EDIT: those purple flowers at 12.14, you can also pull out the individual flowers and suck the nectar out of them as you can with honeysuckle or nasturtium flowers, we used to do it as kids and while there isn't as much as in the bigger nasturtiums there is still enough to taste.
I passed someone in my park picking Yew. I 'm very much against interfering but fortunately I decided to go back and ask what she wanted it for. She thought it was Spruce and was going to eat it. I was horrified.. I don't regard myself as knowledgeable at all on trees, but most people seem to know absolutely nothing
I use herbal medicine and someone called me and asked how much foxglove to make tea and I said *NONE*! And he was huh? Whereupon I asked him if he needed digitalis. 🙄
Yes please do a tick prevention video! They are such a nightmare in the summer!

Ask your local hardware store for an auger.
