Love the blooper at the end. Thanks Gordon. Gave me a good chuckle

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

👍. Thanks for watching.

[@rock4u77]

On ya Gordon, it's awesome to see the video and sound quality improvement in the Bushcraft series. Me and the family often put your show on the television then go out bush and try your techniques out ourselves (with common-sense and safely of course).

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Thanks... have not really made any equipment changes though. All are still filmed on my GoPro with the built in mic...I’m just more aware of the wind and how it effects the sound. That will change soon once I get a new camera and mic. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoy them.

Mate, I came across your KZbin channel and I have to say, your very enjoyable to watch . Not only ur educated but good at being the presenter. I’m from MNC as well and I might sign up with my 14yo boy on one your 3 night camps on the MNC when I recover from my surgery, possible the one in September I think. Thumbs up on your stern lectures and education about respecting our bush. So many people just don’t do the right thing and are either filthy destructive fools are just need the proper education. I dunno if u have done so yet as I’m still going through ur videos, but can u do a segment on your recommendation or reviews on books/ebooks/websites/Apps about bushcrafts, bush foods & medicines, places to camp in state forests . There is so much out there to choose from . Cheers

Great video Gordon, thanks! We have stringybark and paperbark here, but not everywhere. I wish there was someone like you doing content like this in Tassie!

[@kimbullock475]

Brilliant Gordon, well done..

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Thanks Kim, glad you liked it.

[@NathanNostaw]

We have so many options in the Aus bush. No wonder it burns so well. Thanks for the video

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

My pleasure. I’m glad you liked it.

[@Black_Kakari]

Awesome.

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Thanks, more on the way soon.

[@matthewmahoney999]

Great video brother!

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Thanks Matt, looking forward to seeing you soon if you are coming out.

[@steveross2797]

Those dead (spent) palm leaves would also work too, especially if the palm is too tall to reach the top. (And thanks for the blooper! 😀)

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Yes, the dead palm stalks also work when scraped up to produce shavings. Thanks for watching.

[@PAULNAT]

thanks for sharing Gordon, I have used the stringy bark and paper bark but not the other two, I will have to give them ago. thanks

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

You’re welcome, there are many other tinder’s you can use. It’s all about consistency. You can use anything that is buffed up fine enough. Even steel will work if turned into steel wool, but you would need a metal shredder for that!

[@anthonycoleman1909]

So glad I found this channel. Your videos are great

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Thank you so much and appreciate the positive feedback.

[@dave8540]

Good information Gordon,paperbark has been one of my favourites for a while and I often peel and store some away even just for my backyard fire when I cook over it.Cabbage tree palms,I well remember them when I used to work in a school yard and disposing of the fallen branches could be a painful experience!

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Paperbark is a wonder product with so many uses, as is cabbage tree palm...avoiding those pain spines, but easily removed with the back of the knife.

[@isobelle-hepsyjones3300]

Hey Gordon awsome video! I have been binge watching your videos all afternoon! I reckon you could be the next crocidile Dundee!

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Thanks so much, I’m glad you like them. Croc Dundee is one of my favourite movies....I was brought up in country NSW and saw my first set of traffic lights when I was in year 10 at school...literally a boy from the bush and I can really relate to that movie. Please feel free to share and spread the word. Thanks for watching.

[@CraigSavage]

Thanks for the video! Looking forward to learning more.

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

My pleasure, another will be on its way soon.

[@BushCraftBums]

Awesome video. Great overview! Thanks for taking us along and have a blessed one

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

You’re welcome. Thank you for the support and positive feedback.

[@Proaocx]

Love the content mate, will you be making a survival shelter for the winter this year?

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Maybe if I get time, it’s going to be a busy year but will do what I can. Thanks for watching.

[@JamesWilliams-ss3cp]

Hey mate great video! Just wondering what some good ferrocerium rod brands are see so many online just not sure on how to narrow it down cheers in advance

[@spectre4421]

I always wonder what boots you wear? I am looking for a new pair as I'm out exploring a lot and my last pair are on their last legs.

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

I’m usually wearing a pair of old issued Australian army boots or a pair of South African Rogue desert boots. Thanks for watching.

[@motocrossaustralia6346]

Hey are the gun trees useful for anything in bushcraft??

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Yes they are. There are many varieties of Eucalyptus trees in Australia and all have varied uses. They are generally a hard wood so are good for coals and cooking on, they are also good for making tools and weapons. It’s not great for friction fire, although young roots of an upturned tree will work using the bow drill method. Many species have a sap or Kino that has various medicinal uses depending on the species. The bark can be used for making coolamons (containers) and for shelter building if you can find a nice big piece. We all the the benefits of eucalyptus oil, however you need steam distillation to extract the oil. They were and are still used medicinally to treat cold and flu.
