bushcraft survival basher shelter with resin fire part 2

practising building basher shelter and lighting a resin fire

[@PhylBeeMe]

Absolutely the best videos on the subject. I love seeing how others take your ideas and make them look like theirs. But, I've been watching and returning to re-play your videos since you first posted them and know that the chair and the long term shelter are yours alone. Miss you. Thanks for the wonderful information.

[@Casper48022]

This guy is something else... His deep voice commands respect, and his wilderness knowledge is something of a old wise forest sage..

[@RaibidBunniez]

I love the fact that you embrace true bushcraft: living off bare essentials and what's around you. :)

[@mikebrown7649]

Anyone here still watching his videos in 2021? I hope this man is still alive and well and hopefully enjoying the outdoors. Peace be with you sir.

[@phylbeeme2476]

I was watching when the videos were brand new. These days you see so much of what he taught: sack bed, sack chair, resin, stick chair, etc. being made and sold in kits. WEZO ruled then & now. Hope he's still with us.

[@SweejitOfficial]

Best survivalist videos on youtube, no bullshit, no ego crap, direct, thorough, easy and very practical! Thank you!

[@Naughtz]

Finally someone with experience and no polluting gear reviews and 300$ knives. Great lessons and skills to have. Much appreciated I subscribed hope to see more vids in the near future!

[@darincarlin]

It is 2018 now. It is 0400 and I am sitting here thinking of my Grandfather. This video brings me peace. Thank you.

[@Andysbitsnbobs]

Still think this is one of the best bushcraft videos. Wezo has inspired me greatly and I am regularrly out getting pine resin now.

[@lillianagonzalesmittal3224]

Cool

[@ajoubert79]

"My kit is worth virtually nothing" -quote, but your knowledge is priceless, thank you and please continue to share the wealth.

[@DisturbedGamingCorp]

Great vid & that resin is awesome for getting fires going.

[@AdventureSworn]

I watched this video when it first came out. I was 18. On top of appreciating this man's skill, I stopped thinking large knives were "not as good as an axe".

[@femmujihadin]

"My kit is worth virtually nothing". Love that line, wish more people would live along those terms.

[@831maverick]

This is a very nice video... straight to the point, no crazy music-- no crazy talk. That's a very beautiful campfire, a great piece of art. I miss you... whatever happens to you? No more vids since 2008?

[@mavericksabreTAW]

Brilliant Video. Definitely going to try the deck chair idea!!

[@GWNDFM]

People don't understand what it is like to try and build a fire when its cold and wet outside. when its so cold you can't feel the lighter in your hands and you realize you have waited a bit too long to start your fire. They think just anything will light and thats when they find out it won't thats when they start to panic. Thank you for showing how its done it brought back some great memories and some scary times also. I loved this one make me feel like I'm there Gwn

[@electronicballast]

Great vid. None of this bollocks about "oh look how extreme I am 'surviving' in this wilderness" - just straight to the point.

[@831maverick]

I love Golok!... that's all we use when deployed in Southeast Asian tropical rainforests. Never disappoints, never fails. I even used it to craft bamboo-fire method. Some tribal villagers in Madura (Indonesia) have been using it to chop off the heads of their enemies. Amazing tool, indeed. It does take some serious skills to master Golok, glad to see you got the skill to use it!!! Thank you for sharing your video, Wez.

[@mikewagenblast2461]

Take it all in stride. Teaching and learning are two spectacular things in life. Hurt feelings and all. Great videos. Never mind the wounded pride. Time heals the whole lot.

[@jellybean3731]

Amazing. That resin stuff is worth its weight in gold, many thanks WEZ.

[@lesnyk255]

agree with all - great vids, no nonsense, no unnecessary chatter. More, please!

[@soisitimpossible]

I must agree...my kit cost me next to nothing but serves me well wether I'm hunting or just out and about. All this fancy schmoo people buy that serves little purpose besides show and tell I suppose to their friends amazes me. Thanks for keeping it simple.

[@MosquitoFood]

Great demonstration. I live in a similar climate and have a hell of a time getting fires started. Thanks again.

[@akhenatten]

I've seen several methods of starting fires in damp areas, this is by far the best i've seen. It's amazing how volatile that tiny bit of resin is. Without it the fire would be snuffed out between 6:30 and 7:00, but it even catches the wet wood fast.

[@solarizedmonkeyman]

Really good vid, nice one. Really liked the message at the end, something I think is missed by many people. There really is no need to spank a fortune on kit when you can get most of what you need from your surroundings. Good work fella

[@seanmulhall]

Your final cooments I agree with completely. With knowledge and inginuity you can easily make yourself comfortable. Somepeople seem to replace knowledge with equipment. Great videos. Thanks Sean the Silver Fox

[@RoJayEmm]

You have lots of good ideas that I've only heard from you. Please make some more vids! They're excellent!

[@badphobar]

seems nice, I live in alberta canada. the wood here are still vast and to be respected. this is useful information and any accent. he seems at home in the wood with minimal gear. thanks for the video.

[@69Grunden]

I like the Woodmans chair that was made. A really great idea.

[@PhylBeeMe]

Who cares what he does with his knives? He seems to know what treatment they can withstand. I bet he can sharpen them with materials he gathers from the area. The man has more woods knowledge than most and the kind of presence that shows he's at home there, regardless of the tools he's carrying. I don't understand why people need to find a negative in such a positive and informative vid. Probably to push back the feeling of inadequacy they got seeing how good he is. Great video, thanks!

[@acpren]

I knew none of the stuff in this video and a few others. Much appreciated information. Thanks so very much.

[@DangerDad29]

Great vid. Its nice to be refreshed on how to light a fire in damp conditions (I live in a semi arid desert... have tinder in my pack... had it since I was a kid... just in case i suppose) I like the simplistic view of bushcraft :)

[@dialchemy]

The chair you made........that's a great idea, never seen it before.

[@lfuret1]

Wow !! And to think we have lots of that stuff here in northern Québec Canada. Thank's for that simple demonstration.

[@Coyotehello]

Ok I have to add my comment too. Fantastic vid, thank you for posting. I think you make things look so easy that some viewers do not realized what you are actually achieving. As for the resin wow just wow. Do you know you can use it like a piece of gum? Something to chew on... I so totally enjoy your videos. Many Thx.

[@MrJohnMainwaring]

Thanks for the "deckchair" idea. When it comes to making a fir my Dad (bless his soul) was one step from a pyromaniac, I got some of those genes. Instead of a sack I was thinking of knotting up some para-cord (like a hammock), I would be easy to get that bottom stick through, lighter to carry. I'm in bear country, got to make a couple anyway to hang the supplies.

[@akhenatten]

This is just awesome, and the chair is brilliant.

[@ArtemiaSalina]

A few important things to notice: Before he lights his fire, he has collected and sorted his fuel. Organization is key, especially in dire conditions. He built his fire on a slab of wood. This keeps the fire off the damp ground, which would have drawn the heat away and made the fire harder to keep lit. He's right about expensive kit, but for a lot of people, since they may not have the opportunity to go into the woods often, collecting kit becomes part of the hobby.

[@Keane-king]

Dude ur a great survival instructor,And woodsman.

[@BillHinson]

Hope you make more Videos These are some of the best bushcraft videos on KZbin

[@billgator2005]

great videos but what is an ambulance siren doing in the bush?...it's a pleasure to watch someone so adapt with tools and bush technique...more videos even with the noises of civilization in the background...simplicity is the art of knowledgeable people..

[@thermaldog]

your videos are very good, well done. That deck chair is the best thing ive ever seen ha ha! keep up the good work.

[@Veldvaardigheden]

A nice way to start a fire , i think this will work with wet tinder too . Thanx for sharing.

[@EconoChallenge]

Excellent Video. We are impressed.

[@ACE999]

Really good stuff for all we armchair potatoes! I subscribed because you don't have a 12 inch one! :)

[@P4TR1CK041]

...I see that you're starting your fire on a log round, this seems like a good idea but it does not give much air flow to the centre of the fire and from the look of it, it seems rather damp meaning that as your fire heats up, moisture will be released into the fire. A good base to a fire is a few dry dead sticks which raises the fire off the ground and gives good airflow to it, also giving good embers and a heart to the fire. Great video, just thought I'd offer some help.

[@CoffeeDrinker41]

Excellent video! What kind of cutting tool are you using? Is it a machete? Is it easier to use than an ax, or are you just trying to decrease the weight of your kit? Excellent use of resin ... I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for posting such a well made video! 5 stars.

[@crozzylad]

Great videos mate , can you tell do tell me do you get to use your shelters or is it just to show the people how it,s done .thanks a lot keep up the great work

[@hobbexp]

i like the thing you said about the hesterical kits collections, realy good video, thanks for telling me you have post it,, retaing 5 / 5

[@51jake51]

Massive respect to this guy.

[@bigchief00]

Great videos really enjoy them thanks for your wisdom and time

[@Peachwhaler26]

very very nice video, it makes me want to gear up and head out!

[@BackcountryPatriot]

An experienced woodsman is very accurate with his tools, such as a knife or an axe. You get a feel for it and get excellent hand eye coordination with it. The same thing goes for Chefs and other jobs and things of that nature. Pay attention to detail and focus on the task at hand and you won't end up doing anything stupid.

[@DrChrisBiomed]

By the way, to get the most out of the fire you should build a wall of the wood that you're drying on the opposite side of the fire. This will reflect more heat back towards you and dry the wood. Just a tip, learned it during survival training in the army.

[@GeorgeGiann]

I really enjoyed this video.

[@TheRGreviews]

a good outdoorsman and a knife aficionado are two different things. a knife person with no outdoors experience will not do well outdoors no matter how good the knife is, a good outdoorsman can make do with a crap knife and get the task done. great video as always

[@gimepepe]

I collected some resin this weekend and used it to start a campfire. works great and it burns a long time. Natures napalm! tip1: very useful to increase grip for rope pulling contest or tree climbing tip 2: use urine to remove the sticky resin from your hands (better than soap)

[@shillelaghslaw]

A+ video! simple, real, and well presented. just wondering, what kinda knives do you use? on looks like a Leuku, and the other looks like a large Opinel?

[@riseagainstfan4]

Amazing videos. Your professional and you know what your doing. What kinds of knifes are those. I just got a Winchester Bowe and a marine k bar.

[@iamsnake21]

outstanding bit of infomation, marvilis, well done, all of your video,s are great, but please stop putting your knife in the ground, best regards,

[@toragaon]

so simple! a real pro. no end to new great ideas

[@woodlandcammo27]

Nice vid. I live in an area in the U.S. that does not have alot of pines or firs. I wish I could use that sap but it is a lil tough to find. Do a vid on that chair! LOL

[@lewgu]

love your videos man! :) i have huge amounts of respect for you, keep it up! x

[@WanderingBeast]

if I'm staying in my camp for more than a day, I like to build a reflecting wall out of the damper wood. It helps dry out the wood and bounces what little heat I muster out of the other wood back to me.

[@631959]

Fine video brother Cymraeg. i agree take as little as possible into the woods with you

[@stidumaron]

I'm a mountaneer and I recognize real bush men by their knives. No silly and useless rambo weapons, he's got the right one. The same as my own.

[@albertjones4803]

one of the best how to do video makers on utube why have u stopped

[@missjnrr]

I LOVE this guy!!! So awesome!!!

[@WEZO24522164]

these shelters were just to show how to build them... but fore many many years i have built and slept in them ..that's a good idea for a video...thanks ....crozylad

[@P4TR1CK041]

I agree, there is a lot of crap on youtube, but thats to be expected on any video, just what happens I guess. Its unfortunate that WEZ stopped making videos, I'm sure they inspire a lot of people. If I could make a video response I would, but I dont have the time, being a full time Forestry student.I have the utmost respect for this guy, what sets him apart is that he's actually bothered to go out and do it, I have respect for that. Just thought I'd share some knowledge of my own.

[@maethorize]

What he's doing is totally different than how I've ever lit a fire... but since it works I think I'll have to give it a try.

[@Chunta113]

Great video I like your style

[@profesas]

Very informative. You should do more.

[@bizzarrogeorge]

Another great video. Thanks again.

[@treefiddy8475]

great vid. erm daft question how you know when wood is dead ? before you chop or snap a branch if you can reach one ?

[@havefun603]

Awesome vids, man! Pls advise what type of knife you're using?

[@YouMockMe]

Yeah, i'm aware of that but mainly for snow and I read in a manual somewhere of digging a hole into the earth; but that seems a little intense. If a fire is brought into a snow den it would ice over the roof creating an igloo right? So other than digging a hole is another way to bring the fire closer? Also, I do consider you to be a mr. wiseguy but in a good way. Additionally, I'll have to take a look at that book. Thanks for the assistance.

[@Lenny19944991]

you really are a great bushman! ps. howmuch did you pay for your opinel?

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Great film 👍

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

i LOVE THIS VIDEO i just got tsome of the hard sap off some of the trees and that will work as the stuff to drip on the wood but i dont have fur trees where i am PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS

[@123456789bradley]

hello mate were to in wales are u from as im from wales to im form caerphilly

[@Izaana030505]

I just subscribed to your channel as I am wanting to learn all these things and have no one in person to show me. Can I ask what kind of sack you used for the chair? Wouldn't it have to have a tube like opening at both ends for the stick at the bottom and the cord at the top??

[@toppertruthio]

nice video wezo,thanks for the tips

[@WEZO24522164]

ihave used opinel knives for years ....quality and price cannot be bettered

[@143DREWID]

Resin man, yeah man... resin. just kidding. Great info I will not forget. Thank you

[@yalgret]

Opinels are the best! i have one they are the best folding knives you can get i think, have you had a better one?

[@robertfrapples2472]

This kind of living is all some folks have the mental capacity for. I'll take wall-to-wall plush carpet, a big-screen TV and a wet bar, thanks. Never could figure out why someone would want to live like this when the aforementioned is available. Different strokes, I guess. The difference is whether you want survive or thrive, and whether or not you're willing to work for it.

[@kahuana310]

Hey, any specs on the seat material and dimensions. Great video, very practical.

[@wittethan]

This guy is a beast!

[@Smokingfeatherwalks]

Love these videos.

[@YouMockMe]

lets say its winter. what kind of shelter could you build and get the fire in with ya to stay warm... and wont set the shelter a blaze?

[@snaponjohn100]

Great video! Very informative. 5/5

[@peetleweezer6139]

pert and concise, thank you sir

[@martinaxman2033]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks.

[@johncorlett2505]

What did you use and where did you get tthe slice of log that you used as a foundation to build the fire ?

[@stusf12]

Tht was a nice fire!

[@MosquitoFood]

Great demo. 5:22 did you bend that blade?

[@BravoAlphaLimaJR]

@P4TR1CK041 @P4TR1CK041 Agreed! In general, I saw a serious disregard for his tools. Dropping them on the ground, tossing things aside, potentially loosing them or damaging them at least. Not too mention that he tripped over the machete while it was stabbed in the ground... BUT, awesome info and tricks that I will be sure to try out soon. And a great accent!

[@Kingmaconha]

DUDE U R THE MAN!

[@sealofwisdom]

i love your videos

[@jackwest2788]

what kind of tree was the axe wound resin gathered from? or does it matter?
