    You are actually the first man, who i know, who mentioned the true botanical names of the trees (in the description). This is *so much better* and makes them easier to find in literature (or on the internet) for people who does not speak flawlessly english or who does not now the english names, but know these trees under different names. Latin nomenclature is universal, no matter from where you are or what is you native language. Suddenly there is not "some beech wood", but well known fagus; not "some ash", but fraxinus that grows behind your house etc. As a man with botanically oriented education (and only self learned english), i really appreciate it. Little detail that makes your videos a lot more professional in my eyes :)

    Hey Felix, another lovely tip video! Keep up the good work brother!
    There is one further tip I'd like to share with you in regard to hardening the nails... And that is burnishing.
    By taking the nails after fire hardening and rubbing the newly fire hardened surface on a glass bottle bottom, the flat of your hatchet or knife, or other similarly hard smooth surface, you will buff and compress the fibers even further into a glossy smooth finish not unlike glass. This will reduce friction when pounding them in and also increase durability.
    Additionally, this will work beautifully on bone tools like awls, nails, and knives. You'd be surprised how hard and sharp a bone knife could get with the right balance of fire hardening and burnishing, I've even seen them shaving sharp in some instances!
    Anyway, all the best! And keep up the good tips!!!

    Felix, after carving my nails, I place them into a cup or pot with a snug fitting lid. pointed tips towards the bottom of the container. Secure the lid to the container. Place the sealed container up side down next to the bed of hot embers and surround 3/4 the diameter of the container (like making Char). Hard woods usually take 12 to 15 minutes for me. Give this a try. I do not tried with soft woods.

      That’s a good idea which led me to another. If you are expecting to be in the bush for a long time and are good at making your own gear like bows and arrows then the pencil sharpener would be handy if you want to attempt to do some would turning. If you don’t know what I’m on about then just look up “turning between centres”. You might be able to make some very straight arrows.

    Wow, wieder mal sehr informativ! Halt ein typisches Felix-Video ... ;-))
    Erinnert mich wieder sehr an meine Kindheit. Wir hatten hinter dem Haus einen Schuppen/kleine Scheune, da war auch viel mit Holz genagelt. Gab da auch viele Aufhänger für Rechen und Sicheln etc., das waren schon fast keine Nägel mehr sondern Pflöcke ...
    Mein Opa hat, wenn ich mich recht erinnere, meist getrocknetes Pflaumenholz für Nägel verwendet. Die "Stecken" standen immer in einer Ecke rum, die wurden auch für andere Zwecke verwendet. Das Holz musste trocken sein, weil es beim Trocknen wohl springt, wenn es dann mal trocken ist bleibt es weitgehend stabil. Die Spitzen hat er nicht abgerundet sondern eckig gelassen. Größere Nägel hat er nicht mit dem Messer sondern mit dem Beil hergestellt. Gehärtet wurde dann nicht mehr, das trockene Pflaumenholz konnte wohl gleich so verwendet werden.
    Er hat damals zum Beispiel hölzerne Leiterwagen mit solchen Nägeln genagelt, weil er der Meinung war, dass Eisennägel durch das "Geschottel" (die Erschütterungen) wieder rausfliegen, Holznägel aber drinbleiben. (Was ich nicht hundertprozentig bestätigen kann, ich hab in Erinnerung, dass auch hin und wieder ein Holznagel gefehlt hat.)
    Hier in Indien hab ich schon erlebt, dass Holznägel in Mauern und Hauswände gehauen wurden. Teilweise dann auch als Dübel-Ersatz, heißt auf diesen Nägeln oder dazwischen wurde dann geschraubt. Sowas musste ich bei mir im Haus nach und nach alles entfernen, der ganze Pfusch ist nach wenigen Jahren aus der Wand gefallen, das Holz war wohl nicht ausreichend getrocknet und ist geschrumpft ... ;-)
    Trotzdem tolle Technik, also die Sache mit den Holznägeln. Danke fürs Zeigen und Erinnerungen ankurbeln! ;-)

    Hallo Felix, absolut tolle und brauchbare Technik. Vielen Dank fürs zeigen.
    Die Sache mit den Holznägeln finde ich schon immer bei altem Fachwerk klasse, als Verbindungselemente von 2 Balken.
    Schöne Grüße in die Schweiz aus dem Spessart

    I think birch would also be good. As traditional grass rakes are made of two woods; ash for the shaft and seasoned birch for the tines. As seasoned birch has a great resistance to abrasion, keep a good point and resists splitting when pulled sideways across the grain.

    I am use to watching your videos because of my love for my Victorinox knives. Now I see this, which I have never seen or even heard of in my 50+ years of bush rafting and survival. Now I have something new to try. I subscribed a while back and am now just going through all your vids. A few ideas I’ve used to hack my Victorinox. Some weren’t for me but to each their own. Keep it up man!
