What a mess, you made it worse off than it is when it’s in the stuff sack. Thanks for nothing

I don't know if it was planned like that, but the main horizontal bar is set properly. The horizontal bar in this video is set behind the trees with the vertical poles leaning on it. Why is this the right way? Because the weight of the vertical poles will push on the horizontal one AGAINST the trees. Thus causing some friction and making the whole setup more stable. If the horizontal pole was in front of the trees, the weight would push it AWAY from the trees, so way less friction to hold it in position. If you look around carefully, you'll see that 95% of the people on youTube (and real life) are doing it wrong. Well done!

December 2024. It's sad that you're not making videos anymore :(

U would move alot of snow if u had a snow shovel

Learned how to sew doing a 4month pinch in county when i was 26 lol

Do you realize over 50% of your video is of you talking about unrelated subjects and starting a fire? 👎

I’m in the process of making my own trifold pad. I remembered seeing you do this all those years ago, but couldn’t remember exactly how you did it. Glad I was able to find this video to refresh my memory. Thanks for the tip!

still teaching 15 years later! 👍 :)

Tarred bank line is “better” than paracord in this situation. Use an arbor knot in lieu of a jam knot. It will not come undone.

To those that are watching, and may need to start a fire in damp conditions, with marginal material, use pencil lead, pencil, finger size kindling. Never add to pile until flame is “above fuel source…”

Purchase a 1/2” x 6” ferrocerium rod and prep with a better tinder source. Using way too many sparks with a little rod for a large surface area. Your resource (ferro rod) will soon become useless using that many sparks.

You sir , are thee man , thanks

Hey Barney! Krebs (Birdsley) here! Nice to see other SERE spreading the training around!

My current survival-oriented sheath for my knife is a custom JRE leather sheath with: 1.) My knife itself, a Buck 662 Alpha Scout Elite in Magnacut 2.) A Brunton TruArc 3 global compass 3.) Large Bic EZ-Reach lighter 4.) A 6”x3/8” custom ferro rod I made, with a dedicated ceramic striker attached to its lanyard. 5.) about twelve feet of jute twine for tinder 6.) plastic zip-loc bag to transport water and contain the jute twine while not in use, keeping it protected from the elements 7.) about 25 feet of black 550 paracord 8.) short graphite pencil, which I use while whittling, my favorite hobby 9.) collapsable stainless steel pocket bellows 10.) Forestry / utility road access key, don’t ask how I got it 😂 11.) 4” long steel pin, which I use mainly as a fid but it sees a variety of applications (most recently I used it to hit the small reset button on our thermostat lol) 12.) pea-less storm whistle 13.) protective leather finger sleeve, which I use while whittling 14.) rechargeable waterproof 500 lumen light that also functions as a red safety blinker and lamp.

Someday, a twine shelter...

Harbor Fright O.rings??

Food smell like innertube?

Awesome.

This channel is so underrated. I always come back and learn something new

Still makes me chuckle "if that's your thing". TBar!

Excellent!

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great viedo

I dig your furry assistant.

I drilled all the way through the head, drilled through the handle 1/6" higher. After getting the head as far up the handle as possible. Then hammer a piece of brass bar through which pulls the head a touch higher on the handle. Then domed the bar. Ot has been like this for years! Never comes loose!

I know this is an older video but thanks for sharing! I’m going to absolutely try this. Great canteen cup baking method!

Come back TBar. We need more of these. Think of the children!

the worst ad for this saw

the shovel, without a handle, is also a SKILLET and a prybar.

Very rarely do I see something I'm unfamiliar with, thank you

Love mine ! Use it every week for a decade. I upgraded the handle, video on my channel. Highly recommended

I taught him this in 2009

helpful, thanks

Awesome video! I love my MSS kit!

poncho-tarp just blew my mind

Brian Sargent is not a stand up guy at all.

This is outstanding use of an already excellent tool! The Special Forces Shovel, in my view, shares the DNA of the Bushman knives, as you can so easily modify them in the bush to do SO many things. Excellent, excellent video!

Exclelent modification and use of an already excellent tool!

Sweet!

12 + years later, still the best video on this seriosly "main workhorse tool" survival bushcraft option. Seriously cuts weight from your load by being an excellent hatchet, machete, personal defense and shovel!

For winding cords and twine, get a mason, as in an actual working brick and stone mason to show you how we roll up our line, It's done in an alternating figure 8 pattern , on a stick, an old table knife, a wall tie, or some such similarly proportioned material, crossing in the centre and flipping it around from time to time so it unloads evenly, easily and quickly, with no tangles or knots. Production is the rule of law in the bricklaying business. A knotted or tangled line is a sure fire way to not blast in the 6 or 800 bricks the boss expects from everyone daily, and it will piss off your mates if they have to stand around waiting for you, and for that they will taunt you mercilessly all day, every day, unto the ages of ages, amen, until you learn how to do it right. Depending on how badly tangled it is, the offending shoemaker will often have to cut his line,, in an effort to keep up, which is wasteful and costs money, something masons of Scottish descent find particularly distasteful. This has been the tried and true way since before the time of Christ. It might take a bit of practice to get the hang of it, but once you have it down, you will never want to wind any string line, twine or small gauge cordage any other way.

What is a chase wild?

.....oooooffff!! minute 3:37

The handles on traditional tomahawks can be removed and used as clubs, a non-lethal option in self defense.

Ropes and knots are sometimes like magic. (I'm not very experienced, obviously....)
