In this video, I show another use for the shemagh, and after putting my hawk through some work, I show sharpening it. Some Basswood bark processing as well.

[@ScrambledO]

14:35 camera caught the fiber dust blowing in the wind in the sunlight. That is a good sign you got the good stuff. Punk for smoking out mosquitos is a good bit of info i will store away in the memory bank. Really good video Joe.

[@josephallen19]

ScrambledO thanks man.

[@GavTatu]

do you wonder if the dog thinks " dude.... who are you talking to ?"

[@adtgang8649]

Adam Cebulski i think the dog dose think that

[@genxmurse7019]

Whew! You were about to pick up a Destroying Angel; that definitely would have been your last supper!

[@bushcraftbeats4556]

Lol. It's like a bullet going past your head, and you don't even know...

[@naturecallsoutdoors]

Refreshing to see the simplicity. As someone new to this I first thought I needed a Land Rover and a bunch of camo. You represent the skills very nicely. Looking forward to more

[@josephallen19]

Northwest Nature Calls thank you very much. I know exactly what you mean.

[@billythekidd623]

landrover and a bunch of ammo!!!!

[@flysubcompact]

Watched the way you efficiently used the little hawk to process the firewood. Can tell you got skills by that. Subbed.

[@josephallen19]

flysubcompact Thanks!

[@livingsurvival]

Starting to look like fall! Glad to see another video!

[@dracoargentum9783]

Some times I just wish the folks I go camping with would just watch one of your firelighting videos. Every time I work to get a fire started some doofus has to play around with it and almost put it back out again...

[@Burkieeee]

That mushroom looked very dodgy. The annulus on the stipe and the fraying at the ground suggesting a possible bulbous form just at or below the surface are both traits of the amanita family. It's white, so a destroying angel possibly? Good call on leaving it alone anyway. And cheers for your videos, just found your channel this week and it's great!

[@josephallen19]

+Stephen thanks!

[@psfreak2777]

Based on the few details caught by the camera and my little knoledge I assume it's either Amanita Phalloides (most toxic mushroom) or Amanita citrina. Both are highly toxic.

[@williamhawley2036]

I miss scout... he was the Goodest boi of them all ❤️ love your vids joe!

[@rooftopshootaz8927]

I love your dog!

[@Boymandudeguy]

Joe how many times did you fall off that log at the start? c'monnnnnnn we know it was at least once;)

[@SkogKniv]

Great video Joe, I see the skeeters haven't given you a break yet either.

[@josephallen19]

Adirondack Woodsman thanks dude, I thought they were almost gone, I was wrong, haha

[@cometozedocter]

2014 "never do this to my knife" 2016 "just going to strike the firesteel on my knife to get some sparks going" Joe I love your vids keep em up!

[@prwoolrich]

Great video thanks for the tips on the shemagh I will be purchasing one shortly other than that I just wanna say you have a great dog and I hate mosquito's

[@zsandmann]

Do you have an external mic on your camera? You seem to have the best sound of anyone that I watch except the few that wear mic packs.

[@josephallen19]

+ZSandmann no, I don't, but I'm gladt to hear that.

[@leonardo1480]

+JoeRobinetBushcraft what camera are you using and sound setting you use? I think your dog wanted a bite of your sandwich @18:36 lol

[@LozzerGuide]

+leonardo1480 In one of the other videos he says he uses a D5500 - I don't know if he is in this video though :-)

[@bushfalke]

Real good one,thanks for sharing good stuff ;-) Falko

[@dannypalmer8990]

I use a trail hawk also but I made sure the top edge was a good 90 degree and it throws sparks great without using the cutting edge.

[@ProphecyPrepper]

Another good video. Watched it right through and enjoyed the feel of the woods. thanks

[@benrolfe8490]

Aw man, I wish I'd seen this video before totally ruining the edge (and bevels) on my trail hawk. Thanks for the tips, Joe.

[@blackfoxbushcraft8751]

Let me recommend a ThermaCell and/ or Permytherin Clothing Treatment for your mosquito issues. Really enjoy your videos!

[@JeremiahJohnson73]

DC4 is by far my favorite sharpener in the field.

[@quercus4730]

Great video,good skills. Next time you go take a 12ft. piece of 1in. nylon strap tied into a loop for collecting wood. Lay it down open lay wood across when you get a load fold and slip one side of the loop through the other. Makes for less trips.

[@leonardo1480]

Thanks for showing the sharpening tip! as I said before due to my low vision I have never been able to get my stuff as sharp as your unless I get someone else to do it so thanks!

[@Diggz11]

Did you take the blue pool cover out when you left? We do a lot of canoeing trips and try to take out what we can. Nothing worse than seeing people leave their trash all of the woods. Great videos bud. Keep up the great work.

[@mbenjamin292]

fantastic vid love your dog.

[@tjk355]

Great vid! For anyone watching in the UK, we know bass wood as Lime tree. It from the Tilia genus. Cheers!

[@elisebrown5157]

Commenting for the algorithm :) Love and support ya, Joe! Heal quickly.

[@lawtontwocrows]

nice video

[@SteveB357]

For mushroom caution is smart. I've known people who talk about them in college to get hurt. But, don't even touch them. With the really bad ones that's all it takes.

[@ToddAldrich]

Steve Brettell I believe that that one was one of the poisonous ones also. I have picked and eaten Morrells and Beefsteak mushrooms - but in this area those are about the only ones that are safe - and I live fairly close to Joe.

[@SteveB357]

Theyre distinctive enough to be safe. Thanks.

[@meddice]

Just watched it again. Filing this one in my playlist as one to keep coming back to. Thanks Joe

[@helenjalakh5824]

Love whatching you. I love campings

[@Wimpoman]

Get well soon or sooner, Joe. 😉 I like that you put rubbish you found to use.

[@Gullrica]

Great video. Seems like you and Scout had a very nice outing although the mosquitoes was rough on you. I will really test my shemagh to carry things in. I learned something new so thank you so much for uploading this video. /Ulrica

[@josephallen19]

Gullrica glad you liked it

[@50bigdude]

i got the tomahawk, and the woods i just need my little friend on 4 dough :) nice video :)

[@ericferguson9989]

As for mushrooms, I wouldn't chance it either. I did find some giant puffballs on a walk with my wife late August. We sliced them up into slivers and fried them in butter. The result was like scrambled eggs, very delicious and filling!

[@chrisbyars4422]

Scouts tongue is going a mile a minute. As with respect to mushrooms, one should always be careful. You really need to know your stuff. One bad mushroom equals dhiarhea which leads to dehydration. Dehydration in the woods is not good. Thank you for the video

[@allan1062]

How about a compression bandage and clotting agent, especially when you are in the bush by yourself?! It is light weight and could be a life saver....

[@guertinpower]

I really like your improvised chair !! thats exacly what i am looking for new ideas and tricks when watching hiking bushcrafing videos, i am steeling it for my next trip thanks man !

[@magsbee3132]

Joe. Do you know of any natural mosquito/bug repellents which can be used in the outdoors that wouldn't be harmful to flora and fauna? Maybe a homemade concoction?

[@margaretsheridan7087]

Hi joe and the lovely scout,great vid,you’re awesome,love to your family,love from england xx

[@owlscout3009]

joe my apologies, I'm finding all your hawk vids. Great! figures, after I've asked you if youve done any I would find them all. laughs on me. peace...

[@josephallen19]

+Doug Best haha, no worries, bud.

[@busansanai]

where in Ontario is it that you can build open fire? I only went to Algonquin park so I only know very little on locations with fire policy, but it'd be awesome to be out in to nature away from .... just life.

[@Atkrdu]

Not for nothing (and I didn't think of this, myself), but you could flatten the top of that axe with the sharpening stone to strike the ferro rod with. I always forget that you can use the edge to strike a ferro rod & it's a good thing to remember (sometimes you think a knife or something is a bad idea because you figure you wouldn't be able to strike a ferro rod with it).

[@dannypalmer8990]

My uncle taught me a simply way to identify mushrooms. Just a really small bite - if it is bitter spit it out - if it is sweet it is okay. Only tried it once but I am still alive.

[@Xerox1911]

+Danny Palmer Here in BC, we have mushrooms that could kill you just by doing that. Death Caps and Destroying Angels are not to be trifled with.

[@tjk355]

That's not the best idea Danny!

[@Questionable_Talent]

No excuses, never intentionally damage your cutting edge. Another sharp corner of the tool can be used for fire. Use a rabbit stick for digging.

[@AGilbert_81]

Man, a good basic video for all...Thanks

[@xuonglang888]

played alot of survival games, it make me want to do bushcrafting now. But i dont know what to buy for started xD.

[@warbonet65]

Joe, good to see you and scout out again! Man those skeeters up there look vicious!! lol... Thinking about doing mine own channel soon. Mark. ..

[@Bushcraftapprentice]

This is the first time I watch one of your videos, thanks to Northwest Nature Calls for commenting on this! Nice job, well filmed. I will definitely subscribe and check out your other vids! Cheers!

[@josephallen19]

The Bushcraft Apprentice Awesome!

[@bhiei]

Didn't really care for the instructional style, too sterile, I like your best videos when your alone and handling things, throwing the steak down on the coals then having whiskey

[@roberteckard9771]

I like you video, just found you lately. Where are you filming from.

[@sandralons1438]

i love your vids and your personality. i grew up with a german shepherd. i know how precious dogs are. greetings from germany

[@hudsonhornet6558]

Before cutting some wood you should of side “my plan of Axtion” 😂

[@feellnfroggy]

Did you ever get around to sharpening the spine of your Thawk? If so have you noticed a difference in ease of striking?

[@camerondorland8316]

Hey Joe, loved the PK at SAIL the other night. LOL the dog makes this video 10 times as awesome.

[@josephallen19]

+Cameron Dorland glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Great video man! Way to keep it simple but 100% functional. I've been thinking about getting a shemagh, seeing how multipurpose they can be. Thanks for sharing. -Jacko

[@themiwoodsman7222]

Glad to see you back Joe and Scout ! man that Hawk looks sharp ,it's really doing a nice job chopping ! looks like the punk wood did good , thanks for sharing my friend atb john

[@snevarc]

Do you have Sumac, Poison Ivy or Poison Oak up where you are? If so is, is it ever a problem for you?

[@zilvermin6365]

now i havent finished the video yet, im only at about 3:50, and i havent seen any of your other videos, but you should ALWAYS have a knife lol

[@WooglesOutdoors]

I stay away from most mushrooms for good reasons, but the mushroom you found at the beginning of the video I believe to be a false death cap, I wish I could've seen the top of it. But from what the underside, the stem, and the fat roll looks like it was a false death cap. I have heard it to be edible, but as for processing it I am not sure. Cool find. Love the video's!

[@josephallen19]

WooglesOutdoors cool, thanks!

[@disco07]

You really are into that tomahawk son. You must be part Indian.

[@321654987510]

Always learn something from your videos thanks man

[@PrimalEdge]

welcome back! missed your vids

[@phillipdavis5241]

Your dog tickles me! he'll steal every piece of wood you cut!

[@petechandanatural]

global warming extreme temperature in places not normal for those temperatures

[@MarksWildCamping]

Nice video! Would you please be able to explain how you tie the Shemagh into a bag? I have just bought one and this would be very helpful. Thanks :-)

[@davidalexander7685]

tomahawk joe, another skillful video!

[@dustinatoms]

fun video. i ordered a trail hawk yesterday. waiting for it to get here haha trying to be patient.

[@thestig007]

Love the dog lol. Always seems to follow close by.

[@drcsep]

Nice to watch Scott and its skills... Great video. Gracias

[@sandikaander2120]

i love camping with a dog..from indonesia brother

[@helenjalakh5824]

I love whatching you from. Nj

[@faronchristopher4998]

Scout was such a gorgeous dog. And he had an excellent owner. I'm glad I still come across your content. No controversy, no drama. Just doing your thing

[@yvonnekagi2426]

How do you fix the head of your trail hawk because I also own one . Nice video

[@IMAXXHEW]

08:21 is the hex set screw still in place on your Trail Hawk... how does the metal part stay there so well?

[@Denman500.]

Joe I like your videos,I wish I could be out in the woods as much as you are.

[@vettepilot427]

Joe, thanks for bringing us along and teaching. I'm really enjoying your channel. As for the basswood, is it a really light wood? I ran across a similar tree that made great tinder just as you show from the inner bark, but I couldn't identify it since it was dead and had no leaves. The wood was really light, almost like balsa wood and took a flame well after the tinder ignited. Thanks again for the time to shoot these excellent videos.

[@josephallen19]

vettepilot427 yes it is a very light wood, similar to balsa.

[@jaysonsampson6498]

that is one cute puppy scout looks like he is always haveing fun

[@ctworganization1313]

how do you keep your dog safe and healthy from ticks?

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Joe , You could use it as a scarf , (mebys)

[@3facts249]

Have you herd of bare foot running and walking

[@MrGuinea2011]

Nice video. First upload in a while like. Jw is that a tatto or faded tattoo on your hand at the start?

[@MNOutdoorsman]

Have that same hawk. I really like it

[@TomsBackwoods]

Great outing Joe! Thanks for sharing! I have been meaning to pick up a Shemagh to.

[@patlovestayalive1973]

hey ! said the Canadian. Mosquitos buffet, but you saw worst. The shemagh ...I lurn a new word today, and new used to it. Already full service, multi gear, then some, and some more, now this is cool stuff, and it eaven goes down town. P.S. squeezz my french .

[@josephallen19]

patlove stayalive haha, good stuff, man!

[@anthonyg9822]

hey Joe. how long does it take you to get to these locations that your filming?

[@caseyd65]

Hey Joe, I don't know if anyone has asked you this but what size is your firesteel and is that the size you would recommend for a backpacking/camping? I am checking them out on firesteel.com now. Also, did you just glue a knob to it for a handle?

[@josephallen19]

Casey Doyle I live the survival model from them, yes I just glued a handle on.

[@Chris-dz9vl]

That pool cover looks dirtier than the dirt lol. Nice video.

[@scruff_uk]

Nice video Joe. I've carried my shemaghs as bags a few times in the past, I prefer your way of tiring off the back though. The 'shrooms are out in droves at the moment. I'm trying to teach myself some basic I.D. (Spotted some Amethyst Decievers the other weekend…the name really makes me chuckle). Glad you gave your 'shroom a swerve that looks like a member of the poisonous Amanita family i.e. Destroying Angel, Death Cap etc etc Stay safe & thanks for sharing.

[@ccchakras]

Great video. Subbed.

[@josephallen19]

+ccchakras Thanks!

[@jeremycrowe234]

Who makes your tomahawk? Looks nice.

[@maritimespook]

Great stuff Joe !!

[@rebeckahtaylor8596]

i new here i like your

[@TedsOutdoors]

Nice hawk bro!

[@rhorhotiss3747]

what is the difference between fatwood and punk?

[@_teajayy]

Hey Joe, recently found your channel. Love the videos! Could you put together a full bushcraft instructional playlist?

[@orionstar4]

Thanks for the suggestion of this video from the chat today, Joe. I think the tomahawk is going to be the best of both worlds/ one device for me. Here in Oregon, we don't have nearly as much hardwoods as you, my Canadian neighbor. Have you ever thought about coming down and checking it out? I'm sure you'd love it and you'd be well greeted if you choose to do a fan meet and greet. It's a little sad to see Scout knowing he won't be in any more videos, but good to see him happily hanging out in the woods. Thanks again Joe.

[@Erik-sq8nz]

is that a cold steel trail hawk?

[@josephallen19]

yes

[@Erik-sq8nz]

oh ok thanks

[@tanly_man1999]

Great instruction! I'm always looking for new ideas for make shift bags.

[@allemansratten4281]

Pearls sir; pearls. Thanks for the video. I have a cold steel trail hawk too. I got it as a gimmick but wss suprised at how well it performed. I dont even loom at my hatchet anymore.

[@brianmccann666]

Cheap Price, great Quality. My CS tomahawks out performs expensive tomahawks/hatchets/axes most of the time. I currently have Three. Trail Hawk, Pipe Hawk, and Norse Hawk.

[@wpsaints]

Enjoyed your vid. I like the simple approach you take to things. Very skill based rather than tool heavy.
