A little late to the comments on this video since it was posted a year ago. Very good info! Some of the negative comments on your appearance is petty in my opinion. You even had the decency to explain why you grew your hair out for a good cause to donate to children. I can say I learned something of value and I appreciate your effort, as for appearances to each their own, none of my business. Cheers!

19:00 probably shouldn't holster your axe like that with the blade exposed facing forward. Assuming your axe is kept razor sharp, you're asking for a potentially serious injury.

OK, so you make fine fuzzy scrapings of fatwood to start a fire. How differently do you process the fatwood for your tinder kit, other kits, fire starting in your home, etc?

@ricdonato4328 9 ай бұрын
Suggestion when capturing video, always hold the camera horizontal. Every TV screen, monitor screen, computer screen, movie theater screen, are orientated horizontally. In videos where the camera is vertical (portrait orientation), as are most of these, then played back on the aforementioned devices the left one-third, and right one-third of the screen is cut off, causing the video to appear as a stick video, tall and narrow. We humans, maybe all lifeforms, view our surroundings considerably more horizontally than vertically. Holding a cellphone or camera vertically the video produced is similar to looking through a tight keyhole or wearing horse blinders. In addition to seeing the entire scene the camera person must pan more left and right which creates much camera movement; not good. Also, viewed videos captured vertically becomes spatially disorientating.

Nice kit - clean and functional. You dont relize when you start, bushcrafting and enjoying the outdoors- that you start getting tactical/hiking nylon canvas fatigue. Its funny how we tend to go full circle back to what alot of our predessors used and did. Alot can be said for keeping it simple and realizing the value of past knowledge before its gone.

A haversack by definition is a food sack. Military regs required food and ammo to be carried in it. Anything else is no longer a haversack, it's a shoulder bag. I'll put my food in a haversack as I live in bear country and I don't want all my gear to smell like food. But that's just my area, if others use a shoulder bag good for them.

what do you think about using this tarp as a bed roll with a wool blanket? love this content!
@gcwilderness_education Жыл бұрын
Hey bud, I think it would work out pretty well it is a very robust piece of gear, and I have use it as a ground cloth and moisture barrier for a bed roll on several occasions, as long as you’re mindful of sharp sticks and rocks, like you would any other time I think it will work out quite well. The 8 x 8 would work great for this and if you sewed on a zipper around the edge somehow so it wasn’t opening on you all night long that would be good, or if you did a triangular wrap, the same way you would with a wool blanket. It may stay together pretty well, but I wouldn’t put a blanket pin or anything like that to hold it together. We are talking about a $300 tarp though, so there are several already made waxed canvas bed rolls out there on the market within that price range. I can’t say I’ve seen many Egyptian cotton oil cloth bed roll covers out there though, so perhaps the only benefit to turning one of these tarps into a bed roll cover is a little bit of weight savings over the waxed canvas. I’m really glad you’re enjoying the videos and I really appreciate your support!

Excellent set up and really well demonstrated, mate. I like it a lot. Im watching a few videos like yours on KZbin looking for ideas for my own hunting/bush belt kit. I'm a leatherworker here in Australia and have made a lot of belt pouches and the like in my time, but its always valuable to see how others do things as there's always an idea you either havnt thought of, or an idea you've had and never tried, but find confirmed by somone else doing it. Im in the process of doing a belt with a type of chest rig so I can have my gps, binos and 2 way mounted on my chest area and a way to distribute some wieght off the belt alone. I'm going to try something like your glove strap. It's the start of a great concept.

There used to be a monument sign that told about an English military captain (if I remember correctly) named Moody that settles the area. I remember the sign being there when I was a kid in the mid-late 70s. My father's family is Moody from the mountains areas near there & this was supposedly part of our family.
