Very helpful!!! Start to finish with tips and tricks, and well said. Practical and to the point, admirable work!

This video really didn't need to be 47 minutes long. If you cut out all the times you repeat yourself it'd be like 10 minutes. Seriously, not everything you say needs to be said 3-4 times each.

Really hope you are feeling better.. you sound good and strong..❤

Awesome.. how long did you have to work on that ?

So glad you have a new video.. much enjoyed thank you

Really loved the video.. so sorry i didnt see sooner.. please keep them up..wonderful listening to Andrew’s stories..

I have just subscribed because i would love to hear your stories.. i live on a very lonely farm.. i love it.. brilliant to keep a journal.. many many people out here are your friends❤

Really enjoyed your video.. thank you❤can you possibly get Colin Campbell as a guest… oh please !!! Love from South Africa.. national passtime sitting round a fire..

Very informative 😊

Nicely done . Respect .

Dude that was the fastest starting hand drill fire I've ever seen by far. Rock and Roll!

I almost hyperventilated trying to help you get that going!😂

And at that point you feel high as a kite🥴😬👍

It worked very well man!

Thank u sir that's a very intelligent way of maximizing ur efforts.

Your pyrite looks like marcasite pyrite , which I have found along the English Channel. I live in the south west US and there are pyrites to be found here , but marcasite is really awesome. English gun flint from the Dover area is like the best. Thanks for your excellent video and respect sent.

Very educational, thank you.

Hey paul great video as usual,,,

All of the pyrite I've seen is polished brass looking. Is there a difference to the ore you have in the video versus what I'd find in a rock shop?

Very well done - look forward to you doing a video using a fire drill. I recall reading a description of a Hupa Indian from California making fire with his drill kit - the author said it usually took him about 20 seconds to get a pea sized ember with which to start a fire.

Does the moss keep the rain from leaking in?

You need a quality piece of Marcisite, not sure what you have but it is neather Marcasite or Iron Pyrite. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pInEo5ubgamCbtksi=N_53vFztYZ3N1_K0

Paul, I know what you're talking about! I've felt that myself -- that sort of "falling out of love" with something that I KNOW I love. What I really appreciated about this is that you're talking so much about just your feelings -- something that's often left out of outdoors videos. Those feelings can drag us down into dark place, or, as you are planning in this video, can lift us up to new adventures. Will be fun to learn where you've gone from here, as this was 3 years ago! =)

I've actually got a piece of polypore that was about ( I guess) 1 year old when I found it. I've shaped and dried it. It's gone a milk chocolate colour all the way through. It's been a very good strop, but I'm now wondering if it's any good for an ember. I will try it out and let you know.

This was a great watch guys I thoroughly enjoyed this Paul. the fire side does peel back the layer for people.

I just love a long rambling video hahaha. Great pack in every sense of the word, I was waiting for you to pull a magic bunny rabbit out at the end and I look forward to seeing your camp video in the future

Hi Paul - would it be better to remove the cooling rock first from the hot water before adding the next hot rock, otherwise you can run the risk of vigorous boiling only reaching the top part of the water?

Excellent video mate. I'm so glad the pot is holding up and is now a part of your kit. Hearing that stream makes me long to go back and camp again 😁

I learned this technique from the novel "The Clan of the Cave Bear".. was at first a challenge because I also wanted to make a clay pot (mine is with a small nose and a handle). After try and error it worked. 😊

Ah, this is something l've wanted to do for a while. Another entry on the to-do list🙂

I have an idea for a couple of vlogs or videos for primitive bush craft, a hobo reel for fishing and have you ever tried to make a birchbark container for boiling water because Native Americans did it. I’ve never tried it myself but Native Americans did it and as long as you didn’t get the flames above the level of the water supposedly you could boil water in it. Just a couple of ideas. I heard of the rock boil method. It was great to see it done finally! Thanks for making this video.

Right on man, really enjoy watching you demonstrate your skills! Thanks for sharing Paul!

Top vid as usual buddy, I've a little bull dog here who got Jardia one time 😮😮 believe me you don't want that 😂

*Just to Clarify! While I talk about sterilising or purifying water by boiling it will not help to remove pesticides or heavy metals, that instead should be done by filtration and purification! These things wouldn't have been an issue circa 10,000bc but today its a concern! Important to remember that primitive water treatment and modern alternatives have come a very long way and nothing will make water as safe as say a purpose built modern purifier*

Fantastic mate, thanks very much. A great watch and fantastic fun to try at home. #stillinawe

I love the idea of this and would love to do one sometime.

Legend of a guy, I blush, I knew ed doesn't like that knife sheath.... I love it, fits lovely, and best also, its very eunique.... a one off.

I literally just finished a video very similar to this, talking with jason the gray hare. Will post soon with what we take away from camping. Great honest video. Love the interaction between you and ed. Plus ed is always camp leader and chef, and serious father figure.... we definitely aren’t. 😂

You have become very adept at what you do Paul...superb to be able to watch you on your journey

Brilliant! Thank you for showing us this mate. Daz

Greetings from the usa..awesome video..something that occured to me is a gather at the top of yer pack might help keep the contents dry..well done video

Man that pack is magical Paul, amazing how much useful stuff you're able to fit in there. Truly enjoyed going through it's contents with you. Thank you for sharing!

Great video mate. I really enjoyed seeing some of the kit you used when we camped and to see the rest here was even more educational. I'm looking forward to seeing you use more of it in the future 🙂
