Bugger. I started reading the comments 3 minutes in, but I went back and clicked on the stealth link and voted. DBK did a small test with the Hultifors Classic Felling axe. Maybe you could expand on that? Oh, and I am not a happy camper...this video is what I was going to do for my first 'bushie' type clip. I've lived in the scrub (thegreenbus.wordpress.com for an insight), but I've just restocked my knife and bush type stuff things and was going to make a video based on all the channels I am watching...I guess I'll still do it and reference you with a specific link :)

[@BradGryphonn]

I'm just over half-way in now. It's a thing I do. Anyway, I'd crush some dry gum leaves as tinder. As for the 'Light My Fire', my $3 stick (I bought 2) is arguably better :). Your comment at around 16:00 are interesting. Maybe it's the reason why I (at 53 but closer to 54) am finding it hard to start making KZbin specific videos. Like you say, I wasn't raised in a computer age. However, as a side note, I saw the birth of what was first coined as 'Web 2.0'; Twitter, Facebook, KZbin etc. and back then (late 90s early 2000s) I was working in IT and missed a lot of opportunities that I *should* have not Don't even talk to me about the thousands of Bitcoins I 'deleted' back in the early 00's because I didn't see a future in them. Back on subject, I have been out bush a few times in the past months, but haven't taken a photo, let alone shoot video. Okay, end of ramble, you're inspiring me. One Q, where are you based roughly?

[@Brightside0208]

I really appreciate the level of swearing in this video

[@CedricAda]

Tom Flower hahha I was unaware of how much my inner voice says 'shit' and 'fuck' when I let it out

[@BradGryphonn]

Yep, me too. It was fukkin refreshing to say the bloody least :D

[@matthewvelo]

Antipodean dialect.

[@mountaindont34ify]

Hell yeah

[@Phil-S8]

Never heard of a fuckhead spider before. Are they dangerous?

[@jackfarmboy]

I got more laughs out of this man, then any other video. Reminds me of the times I've "gone" out. Some priceless shit in here. There is value in these kind of video, keep it up dude. 👍.

[@ausdigr]

Pete I really loved it. This is real every person type stuff and absolutely honest. I hope we see more like this as it highlights what can and can't be really achieved by the average person and lets face it, there are not that many people with the real life practical skill levels high enough no criticise others . Long live Dickhead Survival !!

[@CedricAda]

Thanks man, yeah I'm really really happy with how this turned out. As a video at least! XD

[@flooorwalker]

"You know what? It's not the fucking shittest thing ever." I swear I lost it at that 😂😂😂😂 Please make more of these videos in the future, I found this one quite enjoyable 👍

[@joe_a_photo]

This is my FAV overnight survival video. Hilarious and awesome. I like that everything didn't go "perfect." Definitely a true depiction of like an average person going out

[@canadianoutdoorsurvival]

Wow awesome video! Really enjoyed your humour, love the Survival Skills Scale! I would also be somewhere between the ham sandwich and the raccoon LOL. Had no idea it ever got that cold in the Land Down Under... keep up the great work!!

[@CedricAda]

CANADIAN OUTDOOR SURVIVAL thanks for watching m8 😎

[@zerocool212121]

a little tip for removing a hot bottle without grabbing it is to use your shoelace and a stick. find a stick wide enough to hit both sides of the inner wall and around finger thick, tie a knot around it in the middle then drop it in vertically pull up on it so the sides catch the inner lip and you got a bottle on a string. these types of learning experiences really make you appreciate the easy things in life. you learn how not to do shit real fast in these types of situations haha. good job it was fun and funny to watch.

[@jonduncansakurawallknifegarden]

Awesome video. Chillingly realistic, and always more honest than most in the approach - you claim to be what you are and nothing that you aren’t, and that’s we all keep coming back for years.

[@jamesf3683]

First off, a bit of fanmail. Love the videos, keep it up. Being an Australian, it's great to hear something without an American accent and it's nice to have some of the problems (like Australian hardwoods) faced in these situations. Then something you may not have noticed. Survival is spelt wrongly in your video title. I thought you'd want to know as it will affect searches. And last a suggestion for another video. While these 3 item type videos are pretty popular, I think that they are a bit of a game in that you are very unlikely to find yourself in an unexpected emergency situation with a BK7 on your belt. My idea for a challenge would be that you have to carry your survival kit every day for a month before you do your challenge. If you can carry it for a month, it's reasonable to think that you could have it with you when you need it and it would raise a whole load of other issues. A lighter and tinder and a small torch are all feasible to carry every day. A rambo knife isn't. Just an idea that I'd love to see and am too busy, far from the bush and probably just lazy to do.

[@49giants3]

You're funny AF lol. Thanks for another fuckin awesome video Pete. The whistle part was funny AF too

[@yankeesrule1176]

This was great! I feel bad but I laughed harder than I have in months when you spilled the water.

[@mikeroy6713]

I watched with anticipation for the removal of that water bottle in your fire. Not disappointed, that was a belly laugh! I’m subscribing.

[@Heizenberg32]

Good on you Pete! I kept expecting the punch line when you revealed you had no intention to actually stay the night. But you did it!

[@SchinzonofRemus]

You are the man, I almost wish I could unlearn everything & do this. I almost miss the old days of no kit camping.

[@andrewtate5568]

great vid. love your honesty and enthusiasm. liking dogs is a bonus too. This limey sure wants to see more.

[@FPSRelic]

I love these kinds of videos, where you actually use the gear for mock survival scenarios. IMO it makes for better gear testing than just batoning, feathersticking etc. I agree with you with regards to the suitability of a large knife for survival in bushland like you're in - unless its a full on chopper like the tops el chete. Even then, I'd expect you'd be better served with an axe, a small knife and a shovel.

[@CedricAda]

FPSRelic yeah, half keen on taking the Cold Steel Special Forces shovel next time and see how that goes!

[@amo757]

Watched the whole video, really enjoyed it. As a woodworker I'm really jealous of the wood you have in Australia.

[@CedricAda]

amo757 oh yeah, you could make swords out of this wood!

[@leyton3018]

sorry pete but your feather sticks are in the the ham sandwich category

[@CedricAda]

Totally showed when it came to lighting them up

[@stevemunson8572]

That striker suck big time

[@robinpohl2702]

Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors should have Grippe the spine and used the very tip maybe After all this chopping and other tasks

[@NGMonocrom]

That ferro rod is a very traditional, old-fashioned variety. Meaning, more iron content and less magnesium. Works, but you need to be a very experienced bushcrafter and have plenty of dry, fine tinder to get it to work when needed. I prefer Exotac over Light My Fire. Much higher magnesium content compared to iron content. Makes lighting fires *much* easier. Compared to a shower of sparks, you get less sparks. But you get very tiny burning chunks of magnesium falling onto your tinder. That's going to ignite with a ton less effort.

[@mt_baldwin]

LMFAO! Your hat was like a stress meter, the more stressed you got the more your hat got messed up. You did an awesome job with what you had, don't let anyone say different. Now you know why I carry the silky pocket boy 130 with me, in my pocket, every time I'm in the woods, only as inconvenient as a big folding knife but can take down small trees easily.

[@CedricAda]

+Mt. Baldwin for sure! Next time I think I might do Saw only, Axe only, Multitool only or something, or a very different kind of knife at least

[@scandinut]

Loved the way you got the bottle out of the fire, the exact same thing happened to me the first time I tried it lol

[@gaismaszeme7465]

Thats heroic - surviving whole night in Australian bush !

[@Howlin000]

I LOVE THESE :D Please keep on doing them

[@dualsportoutdoors]

“Thank FUUUCK for that!” 😂😂😂😂 Sounds like me at the end of my work day every day 😂😂😂😂

[@beaucrawford538]

25:25 is exactly why i take a set of leather gloves and a swiss army knife that has pliers. makes it easy to maneuver things that are hot

[@CedricAda]

+Dylan Castle hahah yes indeed, i totally did that maneuver in the most fail way possible

[@storm3016]

I think even Les Stroud himself would agree that a raccoon easily outdoes him where it comes to survival skills. Cool video though, and more importantly; you survived! More of these please.

[@psyopgypsy]

Oh dude I worry when you talk about that bed as ' not being the shittest thing I have done ' 🤣🤣🤣

[@mrc2205]

Haha even in a tent I’m still DH survival in Australia, the bush here with the bugs will kill you. Not to mention the snakes out at night, I might be able to light a fire if I’m lucky.

[@TheTimLara]

Time to go rehydrate since I pissed myself when you spilled your water.

[@kiwi_comanche]

Mate, more of this. Fucking brilliant. Get after it Pete.

[@Ike32]

Keep featherin' it, brother!

[@markmessore5461]

Yes please, more. Dickhead Survival is a winning format. At least a three chuckler that, which surpasses two thumbs up. I think?

[@CedricAda]

Absolutely

[@TheJeffFortner]

I love your channel man, keep this kinda stuff up!

[@cafn8ed74]

This was great! I hope you make "Dickhead Survival" a series.

[@skywalkeruk84]

love it! great job doing what we all sit here thinking we can do. please keep it going. :)

[@LarsRibe]

Well, dick head ham sandwich or not - you went out and did it! I had great fun watching this one :-) Thanks

[@robduncan599]

Yes i did enjoy your video 9/10 - skill 7/10 . To be honest most of us are in the ham sandwich division . tks

[@evillabrador1]

Good for you. Got to be the best way to review a knife or any tool.

[@ryanbradley5557]

Fantastic stuff dude, just subbed. Really enjoyed the video, hope you do more like them.

[@CedricAda]

+Ryan Bradley these take a couple days of work and a bit if editing but my aim is to do a few a year for sure, It probably the best video I've made when I self reflect 😂

[@jester0card]

I like the N+1 gear suggestions. Maybe add a piece of gear each episode to the point where it's stupidly easy, then N-1 back to this? I'd love to see a knife (your cold steel master hunter) and saw (silky gomboy 210-240) video in episode 2... just in case you're looking for requests. ;) Still, great vid! Being somewhat useless is pretty relatable, IMO. Keep it up, if the wife lets you!

[@MrEMann]

jester0card cool idea. 👍

[@HUZ9k3s5w]

Had you used your large knife to baton with instead of chopping, I guess the tree would have fallen much sooner. Oh well, everything seems easier from a distance. ..... Koalas that sounds like a Cold Steel testing video, lol!

[@Togoodforthebush]

Australian hardwood it's relentless! I have enough trouble with the stihl and a sharp chain lol😉

[@CedricAda]

I know right!

[@jinxjones5497]

Next time, just stretch your jeans so you can use your knife to shave off some fluffy cotton in a back and forth motion. It will light first strike, but it is flash tinder, so make sure you have progressively larger other size tinder to burn at the ready

[@jftg08]

priceless great survival vid Chris tanner has to come down to Aus and show us how to use the Bk7 I think.... lol maybe not wood to damn hard keep up the good work 👍

[@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397]

Great Video and quite realistic... in the senses of environment/conditions, skill-sets/comfort-zones, mental/physical/keeping-morale sorts of efforts, plus gear selections to provisions like extras, food/water... or having little to no stuff at all. Any fish or other edibles to be caught in the water?

[@paulp6386]

Take a Silky folding saw. Cuts through Gum in general in a minute. Cut through 4 tree's 6 inches at least going up my farm driveway easy. Light quick and worth their weight in gold with Aussie hardwood.

[@CedricAda]

+Paul P I looooove my silky gomboy. Might do saw only next time or the time after

[@wadepage7809]

Hilarious! Good show ole mate, or whatever it is they say down under.

[@fossilimprint2954]

Wonderful video, please make more like this (so far seems you only have 3?) Subscribed!

[@lloydjacobson1812]

Great vids keep filming and hello from Canada 🇨🇦

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

those travelling seeds like purple too. bush has never really went outa style

[@kalendawe460]

I subscribed as soon as i heard little fuck head spiders hahah love it and i like how you dont pretend your some survival expert

[@jockitoy]

That fire rod is actually pretty good, you know what ist good ? that striker, i struggled aswell a few weeks ago to light uo a fire with that exact same light my fire rod, took me over 5 minutes of trying without any progress but as soon as i striked the fire rood with the spine of my knife, it took me 1 or 2 strikes to get that fire going, so a sharp spine would really have made it easier for you.

[@CedricAda]

joakim oskarsson yeah, I can see why folks demand a flat spine - ita much less fidgety thats for sure

[@jockitoy]

Yea and you get more power behind the strike and scrape deeper into the firesteel for more sparks.

[@LarsRibe]

May I recommend using a baton when taking down trees with a knife? Less hard and time consuming.

[@CedricAda]

Lars Buskkraft i may elevate myself above 'raccoon' if i adapt that technique!

[@Stassa23]

Great video once again. Which fixed blade do you prefer more the bk7 or the cold steel srk or are they two totally different types of blades. What would you recommend for a good budget chopper and good budget camp knife? For wood carving I usually use one of my moras mostly the bushcraft black bit so you have any recommendations say around $70 US dollars are under. Well hope your having a great day talk to you later

[@subroc4]

Pretty brave of you to spend a night out in the woods with only that knife to fight off the drop bears

[@overlandedc]

Great video! You had me rolling a few times.

[@robbowman5857]

I hope you survived to upload this, I'll have to keep watching and find out!

[@bushcraftbeats4556]

Love the video game music you've been using lately.

[@brianmcwhorter2867]

You should definitely do more videos like this!

[@JackFoxInc]

Loved the vid man. More like this please!

[@ozyrob1]

loved it, though a few wannabe rambos would be disappointed didn't take a glock or fight off a roving gang and some zombies.. keep em coming 10/10!

[@rodrigoteresa7944]

How cold is in in Australian winter lol. Asking from Canada so Celsius is 👍.

[@CedricAda]

Rodrigo Teresa lowest it gets here is 0 degrees, sometimes -1 or -2

[@rodrigoteresa7944]

Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors We're right in the afternoon of a mid-summer day rn and it's 20 😀

[@gordonstevenson535]

Interesting, I should have read the replies first. Might think on making a version of the fire bed for your self next time. Build a bed on top of fire coals and a fire next to you.

[@tm1182]

Perfect video, 10/10 would smash

[@Howlin000]

It's high time for another one of these mate :D

[@stevenrobertson6656]

Never mind the bush hippies...chop em trees down !

[@BradGryphonn]

Koalas and Coldsteel promos...yep. Accurate.

[@yoadrian3814]

This is great. You're bed looks a tad like a pyre though haha

[@markstanton63]

Enjoyed every second of this vid ........ Survival Tip: navel fluff + ear-wax makes great emergency fire-making tinder & is almost guaranteed to take a spark from a fero rod.

[@phillipnunya6793]

Nothing says "dickhead survival" like "surviving" overnight in a pair of skinny jeans, a soft purple shirt, and a hipster hat. Great channel by the way. You make me exercise my self control when you do your knife reviews and steel videos. I would be poor otherwise.

[@76aussieguy]

next time take a knife and an axe mate, maybe a billy too?... nice to see some Aussie wood being chopped up. cheers for sharing

[@jameshinrichsen9238]

12:57 omfg u made me cry

[@MrEMann]

Lmao! 'it's not the shitest thing ever'... I'm just laughing at you! Not with you... Definitely at you. Lol. What a fun video.

[@davidpyper82]

Was expecting a crocodile to grab your bottle Flipsake

[@CedricAda]

davidpyper82 im a little too far south to have to worry, fortunately!

[@davidpyper82]

Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors good live your videos

[@CSGraves]

Ugh, I'm not arachnophobic but... I'm going to power through it anyway... the description of the spideys comin' out of the sandy soil at night and potentially invading one's "personal space"... no thanks! I'd rather sleep out overnight in MY neck of the woods with the earwigs and black bears. Well, not in the winter. Also, nice to hear more FFII music halfway through.

[@CedricAda]

CSGraves yeah man, love the 'inside the giant' track. Reminds me of climbing up to Golbez

[@unstitchedslipper]

Hilarious Bro, keep up the awesome work!

[@Elslemmo]

Im getting a compelling desire to catch frogs!!

[@dustinwhitt5297]

Fuckhead spiders. Gotta love Australia.

[@eldridgeyoung2763]

I seen that coming don't worry I've done it a couple times

[@jackfarmboy]

Grabs popcorn and settles in for either an epic failure or win. Either way us the viewers win. 👍 What could go wrong.

[@Airik1111bibles]

Field dress a tree😅 Dude why did you chop....you totally should have did the beaver batoning method, Dave Canterbury would be so disappointed.

[@CedricAda]

Totally didn't even think to do that 😂

[@Airik1111bibles]

Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors LOL I do that all the time....usually after I throw fit and have a break down😅

[@bushcraftbeats4556]

That's why you need to go out often, only way all that info you've absorbed is going to come to use in any meaningful way.

[@semdijkstra9784]

Airik1111 if you're good at chopping it doesn't make that much of a difference

[@H3IN3K3N100]

True ozzy bloke, big knife and plenty of swearing!

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

Fuckhead spiders 😂 great video mate

[@bushcrafttasmaniaisnowsnow374]

BG and Les would be proud. How good is the sun coming up over the horizon on those cold nights?

[@CedricAda]

Like a warm hug from Christina Hendricks

[@bushcrafttasmaniaisnowsnow374]

Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors Haha! My kinda girl.

[@karrawr9538]

I would pay money to watch Les Stroud react to this

[@jschiek8054]

As a fellow dickhead, I appreciate the spirit of this video. Well done!

[@josephmelchor7661]

really like the vest

[@CedricAda]

its handy as, four extra discreet pockets!

[@threeper7929]

I don't know why your channel isn't growing much faster than it is. Please keep doing what your doing! You and a few other you tube reviewers are really starting to break free from the usual boring non stop table top crap! I guess table top reviews or first impressions have their place but they are quickly become not my cup of fucking tea! Keep up the great work and watch out for those fuckheads!!!!!

[@CedricAda]

+Smprepper # thanks man! Yeah, i think I'm a bit too left of centre for mainstream appeal! People seem to like it pretty straight and narrow generally! Not me though - I make the videos I like others to make. My favorite channels are Dutch Bushcraft Knives and Advance Knife Bro - I like the entertainment as much as the info. Maybe more

[@MountainFisher]

One time my brother and I told our in my case live in girlfriend and in his case, a bad tempered clingy wife, we told them we were going hunting, bear hunting to make sure his wife didn't want to come, BUT WE WENT TO DISNEYLAND AND DROPPED SOME ACID AND HAD A GREAT TIME. Stayed at a hotel and drank a few beers that night and kept on having a good time until it was time to go home on Sunday. He is divorced now.

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

Acid at Disneyland? Did it feel like you were in a fantasy realm? Or a movie? Sounds like a good story

[@MountainFisher]

@@deathbyastonishment7930 It was fun and the reason we left the women at home was because my brother's wife would harsh anyone's mellow. It was like a fantasy and it wasn't crowded for some reason. Pirates of the Caribbean was freaking awesome. We must of went on it 10 times, same for The Haunted Mansion. Those screeching skeletons popping out of a box scared the shit out of me the first time as I wasn't expecting them. LOL The Matterhorn was something else and Mr. Toads Wild Ride was tripping too at the end when all the strobe lights went off.

[@MountainFisher]

@@deathbyastonishment7930 It was really a blast as it wasn't very crowded like usual for some reason. Must of went on Pirates of the Caribbean at least 10 times, same for the Haunted Mansion. The Matterhorn was awesome too. This was like in 1976 and they still had the Monsanto ride where it shrinks you down to the size of a water molecule. The Pirates and Haunted Mansion were fairly new then too.

[@fredde90210]

That bed...hahahaha hilarious stuff

[@surecutsam6298]

I'm upset with myself for only seeing this now.... Even Ed Stafford or the folks on Naked and Afraid couldn't hold a candle to your Supreme staying and thriving alive skills, let alone those happy campers on Alone in the Arctic or where not...... How sad you're not on the History Channel 😂😂😂..... 👌

[@gordonstevenson535]

Curious, what is very cold? Must bring you to Canada some day.

[@stevebourke9769]

Australia has hot summers but the southern part of the country an get very cold. Went camping at Lithgow west of Sydney last winter and the temperature got down to minus 12 centigrade.

[@darksi226]

Cracked me up. Great vid

[@howardgreen9718]

I hate those fuckhead spiders I was on a fishing trip and I felt something on my face brushed it away felt and felt something else. I got my touch out and there was eleventy eight million fuckhead spiders on me and because I'm a real man I screamed like a girl and rolled around like I had invisible fire on me.

[@CedricAda]

+Howard green I call that the 'shock and aaargh' defense

[@BradGryphonn]

If you don't shower before you go camping, they won't touch you. You need to leave a bit of that polluted suburbia smell on you. True story...maybe.

[@armageddonknives]

dude this is fucking funny. If your up for it we need to do a colab

[@CedricAda]

Definitely! Its hard to think of good ideas, but would be happy to!

[@ericholladay5280]

I have a survival hat like that!!! If it's a black owl hat, like I think it is

[@CedricAda]

+Eric Holladay it is!

[@czechmate9591]

I go bush all the time and don't record, always touching up on my skills, if your in the Sydney region we should get out bush and do an overnighter

[@CedricAda]

SA Riverland unfortunately! I'll check out your channel :)

[@timb8970]

awesome videos! you crack me up! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Steve_G88]

Why did it take me until now to find this gold!?
