Hello Clay, great video! A tip if you have to betoan with folding knives: Do not unfold the blade completely and do not let it engage in the lock! Fold out the blade only 90°, so the bearing of the blade is less stressed and the blade lock is protected against destruction.

You had tons of dry wood that was easy to harvest underneath all those fallen trees there. I've built fires from scratch while it was pouring rain by getting materials from unorthodox places. Wet cedar and pine branches will burn damp once you have the initial flame going and pine sap is an incredible fire accelerant. Sap saved my butt during a storm in West Virginia once. BTW, I had Leatherman replace my Surge when l sent it in for a simple repair. Same issue. I was stunned when they offered me a complete replacement. Best customer service.

Thank you for sharing these skills. I have actually returned a broken leatherman, i took it back to the shop i originally bought it from. A good 4 or 5 years later, and they remembered me, id bought other things over the years, so not a complete stranger to the staff. They sent it off, i received a new leatherman. But, as you said, the old one was gone. Any sentimental attachments had to be abandoned. And the model i received was a newer model, so different in small ways from the one i had had. And of course, a wholly different feel. That original one, was a looser action on all opening and closing than any since. And i missed that. I snapped the cutting blade off. It was being used regularly, mostly pliers, but knives, and occasionally the screw drivers and poking implements... Lifetime warranty on leathermans is legit! From an Australian!

Up here in the pacific north west the native americans used to use cedar root as cordage. It grows very long and thin, it's a great source of natural fiber that was used for basically anything, baskets made of that material survive to today. It's possible if you harvest it at the right time and know what to look for that that cedar can provide you with cordage as well

When I'm taking down a standing dead tree, I cut half way through then go 12 to 16 inches away and make another cut half way through from the opposite side...I usually end up with a decent split for a good starting point. Good idea on the pine resin, I always carry a piece of fatwwod about 4 finger widths long that has been split off of a 3-4" diameter piece, I put a divot in the flat side for use as my bearing block that's also a source of great tinder. Another thing I've learned over the years is to make my spindle longer....at least a foot, preferably a bit more....this allows me to anchor my bearing block hand just below my knee for better ground clearance. And instead of a stiff stick with a lose string, I use a roughly quarter sized green stick and make more of an archery like bow....I find that arrangement keeps plenty of tension without the need for a double wrap. Not claiming my way is better by any means, just sharing what I've settled on after 45+ years since I learned the basics as a boy scout....

It's great to see the whole thing and the fact you don't use many tools is exactly my way of thinking. I had to learn with the shitest cheap tools and not many of them, it made me much better at the job and when I finally could afford a decent knife, axe and saw I was so much better at everything that it's now almost effortless

The best friction fire demo I've seen out of a number watched. I'm a retired teacher and you've done your homework! It takes a lot of planning and skill to communicate this clearly. I haven't made a friction fire yet, but I've started practicing the steps, and I did make a fire using a small lens in sunlight. I noticed one small detail not specifically mentioned that seems pretty important: the thin strip of wood under the fire-board that receives the dust and allows for the transfer of the coal. Thank you.

Another helpful video of yours - thanks for showing ! Allow for some remarks a) never baton with a folding knife in a fully opened position, just open it to 90° and never baton on the tip of the blade, it's the weakest point - cut some wedges from smaller stuff first and only use the blade to start a split, then go on with the wedges (watch the videos from Felix Immler, the Victorinox-guy). b) don't exaggerate - 100% is maximum, there is nothing beyond it (like 150% humidity) c) Paracord is not the best cordage to use, because it's slippery and stretchy. Boot-laces are usually made from polyester of equal strenght, less stretchy and better grip, so replacing them with paracord is ridiculous. The only reason why paracord is so prominent relates to the first 'Survival Handbook', issued to WWII fighter and bomber pilots/crews, which always had their parachutes with them , so nobody would add a tarp or other cordage to their 'Survival Kit' d) Another method with the hearthboard is to make a second divet side-by-side instead of a notch and connect the two divets. The dust collects in the second divet, no need for something underneath the board.

Dead wood scavenged off the ground is almost always damp and high in water content and doesnt burn well or hot.

13:30 I like that you brought up the safety concern regarding the unintended closing a flip side knife. I've been stung twice from my current pocket knife. It had nothing to do with, in my case, a faulty locking mechanist. The knives unlocking mechanism is on the back of the handle near the bottom, which so happens to be where the bottom part of my palm is gripping. And, uh yeah... Push the tip into something hard enough, at the wrong angle, and your tool becomes a little devastatingly bitey. My only saving saving grace(aka silver lining) is that I don't sharpen it all the way to the base. The same region medieval sword scholars call the ricasso. But I digress.

Something useful that should be taught in high school. Imagine a society that could start a fire with a knife and shoestring in the woods after not cutting themselves preparing all the parts needed to do so. Great video!

We use to have the Boy Scouts to teach you all that stuff. Unfortunately Pedos and Feminists ruined it all.

Clay: Thank you for the many crafts you share with all of us. A gentleman like yourself should be imparting his knowledge at a community collage, a place wear I have met some of the finest, most dedicated instructors around As to that Leatherman tool, for as long as you've had it, it's part of your 'flesh' a good commercial welder will service it with your personal improvements to what ever extent you desire. I have an old (33yrs) Victorinox locking blade, a local welder made some improvements that will allowed me to extend its life for many more years to come. To your fine health and many more years of instructing 😉💪👍

Such a good idea to use green wood for the handhold, and put some pine sap into the hole. Need to try this.

You did a great job. When you said the wettest weather, I thought you meant while it was raining out. It can be done while raining, but you have to be under a large tree or canopy.

Leatherman also replaces just the blade if you want to keep te same multitool. I did just that with my Leatherman wave! Great work out there!

Very nice. I am going to put together a Go Bag, and for those Rainy Fire making days, I plan to bring along one of those plastic Twisty pencil sharpener things, strip off the wet bark from some twigs, then use the sharpener to produce the Tinder. What do you think?

I've watched your other videos and appearance on Alone describing your Leatherman Free P4 and they made me sure it was what I wanted. I got the last one at my local outfitter a couple weeks ago, and it has been a godsend. I just wanted to let you know that you're basically a celebrity up here in the PNW-- only about an hour from your claim!
