Living out of a BOTTLE in the Wild! | 1vs1 DUAL SURVIVAL CHALLENGE

[@SmoothGefixt]

Thanks for Tuning In Folks & the Great Support despite the long silence on our side! Next up on the Smooth Gefixt Friday's finally finishing the ROUNDHOUSE ROOF! A preparation video next week, and then Roundhouse Episodes in the weeks after. Enjoy! [Noon ET (US) / 5pm (UK) & 18.00u CET / 0.00u CIT]

[@jhard94]

Yessss more videos! I really love the 72+ hour DUO challenges you guys do! Need more of those

[@jamesconran9871]

Brilliant! Looking forward to seeing the roundhouse again.

[@claytonbush192]

Awesome work guys love your vids keep up the great work.

[@frikkiesmit327]

Julian. . I expect better from you regarding starting a fire. You have more practise then me. Hehehe. Luckely you had some fatwood to save the night. Still love your guys content

[@frikkiesmit327]

I think next time try using a y branch and cordage to remove bottle out of the hot coals. One side of the bottelneck you put the Y of the branch and with cord attached basicly "snare" the bottle neck tightly against the y branch

[@rstainsbury]

I love that you didn’t reveal what was in the kit UNTIL the moment when you suddenly needed it! Suspenseful editing!

[@IngeniousOutdoors]

Imagine if youd had a third friend running the competition and when you showed up, he made you give your bottles to each other. Bottle switch on day one. Who can survive better on what the other person packed?

[@vinny5638]

woow what a great idea

[@deboraharmstrong3002]

You have a wonderfully evil mind....i like it

[@LeprechaunFireman]

Devious!!! Love that!!! LoL!!!

[@toddyoung913]

Haha Julianvwould win Dylan always packs better, Julian is more about showing more exotic methods.

[@jito7377]

Two wonderful long videos on one weekend to kick off the Smooth Gefixt summer. I like how Dylan thought about outmatching Julius and still had longterm goal in mind, when assembling his bottle. Julius in the meantime continued to flirt with the fire. It was really a bummer, you did not catch any fish. But everyone should be happy, because we got to see Jäger eating.

[@RaistJustice]

It's so good to see you guys producing videos again. I always enjoy them and have missed them terribly here in Athens, Alabama in the United States.

[@SmoothGefixt]

Nice to hear man! All the best!

[@RaistJustice]

@@SmoothGefixt my best to you guys.

[@jerrydineen2827]

Ricky I live in North Carolina!

[@RaistJustice]

@@jerrydineen2827 Ah a wonderful state. My editor lives there and sends me photos of local areas.

[@panda93247]

I really appreciated what you said around 9:35. Here in California, that tiny fire could have ended up burning down half the state. I hope everyone will continue to be cognizant about how/where they build their fires.

[@xaraxania]

I was scared Julius was going to cook himself wrapped up in foil like a Christmas turkey, then he said he put the fire out, phew! a real good effort on the worm charming J, Dylan's oats & lentils were a good plan, great mini series guys, thanks 😊 just for fun im going to see what i can fit in a bottle for an experiment

[@jonnywalker5361]

Fair play for sticking at your fire Julius and for your comments on fire safety. It’s so refreshing to see how much you guys care about the environment you operate in. Way better than a lot of other camping/outdoors channels. Big respect from Dublin.

[@SmoothGefixt]

Thanks Jonny. Still have to be more attentive in practice next time;)

[@izzy123412457]

Your channel has improved dramatically. Great job to your success.

[@SmoothGefixt]

Thanks man! :)

[@fordman138]

Awesome to see you return your spots back to like you weren't there. Leave no trace, and fully use anything you take from the land.

[@card-joker5301]

Felix is such a great crafter!

[@SmoothGefixt]

He is!:)

[@MAJJJJJJ]

You know what's great to see the most of all is one helping another in tough times.

[@GhostZero1111]

Thanks guys, this was amazing and cheered me up no end. All the best to both of you.

[@experimentalsurvival7142]

Watching this again and realising what a banger of a video it is!

[@trustmeforreal6361]

Wait....what a treat...though u guys were going to post the part2...next friday...Really enjoying these videos👍💕

[@zekestone]

Very relaxing to watch before bed, thanks.

[@breeze8363]

So good to see your filming and playing/working again. I've really missed your antics!

[@taliagrace5698]

The excitement I felt at the return of the battery fire😂 that knife is awesome! Thanks for the great work and dedication, we appreciate the insane effort going into these.👍

[@888johnmac]

yay part 2 ... BTW i'm pretty sure 18650 batteries are lithium ion so will have some short-circuit protection , as you said always have a plan B ( and a plan C for something as important as fire making )

[@Akhenando]

you guys are amazing...you make us laugh a lot...we enjoy your different personalities...really liked the summoning of the worms...loved the new music by your subscriber

[@invisiblewizard2538]

Great to see you folks back! I had a really bad experience with heating rocks once, by picking the wrong kind. I put a few chunks of slate into a fire to let them warm up and keep the heat longer than the amount of fuel I had. But they must have been too flaky, and must have had water penetrated into them, because after about half an hour they exploded and sent shards of slate all over the place. The fire fuel all burst up and scattered too. Thankfully this was all just in a barbeque pit on a patio area outside a holiday cottage, so no chance of starting a forest fire - but I'll be far more careful in future!

[@juliuskupfer2118]

Lovely location. Nice to watch your videos again.

[@BackcountryKiwi]

I've waiting eagerly for part 2! Excited for the roundhouse videos! Keep it up guys Cheers

[@mom1bowling]

i love the funny woots every time they cuss thx for the vid its so cool

[@Stworek]

defnitely the best 1v1 episode so far imo. Briliant idea with the bootle challenge, two different tactics for the schelter etc. Love watch your videos. Keep it up guys!

[@MartinVia]

So cool, the „leave no trace” you did rl impressive👌🏻✌🏻

[@garrysekelli6776]

I like the funny audio edits of smoot and fixt spread randomly through the video.

[@LJBJams]

Yaaassss! My favourite, the 1v1 challenges! Great work gents 👍🔥

[@JH-6]

well done gentlemen and Jaeger and thanks fpr bringing us along

[@jhard94]

YES PART 2!!! I wish I could watch new episodes everyday

[@prasaite]

23:18 very interesting rock Julius on which you are sitting, especially these recesses on surface.

[@harveycameroncovers]

Swear every challenge they do together Julius always pokes his head in Dylan's spot to see his progress and his ideas.. yet on the other hand Dylan is happy chilling in his spot and doesn't leave it haha. Bless Julius he's a funny guy, like a kid at christmas most the time! lol.. Always great content from you both, keep it up! :>

[@SmoothGefixt]

Haha, thanks man!

[@harveycameroncovers]

@@SmoothGefixt Respect!

[@Ronny_Lopez]

Another great one!! Loved it guys!!

[@glonus6017]

great stuff love seeing the beautiful dog doing his dog things

[@experimentalsurvival7142]

Julius summoning worms is the funniest thing I've seen all week 😂 unlucky with the battery fire julius! 3rd times the charm

[@seahunter1]

Great video. I really like this format. I learned a few tricks from your video. I had the same problem with a rechargeable lithium ion battery from a flashlight. Some of those batteries have a protection circuit built into them that shuts the power off when they short circuit. I bet that is why it didn't work. I have found that the firefly ferro rod works better if you plant the teeth of the saw in the tinder and drag the ferro rod across the spine. That is how firefly recommends that it is used. Keep up the good videos.

[@blomkillen]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@KevinsDisobedience]

You guys are the best bushcrafters on YT. The real deal and down to earth. This gives me an idea for a similar challenge to do and upload on my channel. Cheers.

[@kst357]

That worm summoning stick was hilarious. I was amazed that it (sort of) worked & now I have to try it.

[@sparrowgarden1401]

You guys gave me some great ideas for an emergency kit for the car, as well as our evacuation pack. I was going to put a small cooking pot in a 5 gallon pail, in which I am putting home prepared dehydrated meals. But now I think I will add a stainless steal bottle instead. If there is room maybe I will put both in.

[@ThePartyideot]

So happy that I found your channel. Awesome content! Excited to see new videos

[@Mwellmac]

you two are a hoooooot! I have a lot more of your stuff to go.

Great couple of posts, looking forward to the roundhouse.😁

[@nathanauguste9696]

Thank you for your videos , I take a lot of pleasure to watch it!!

Worm summoner!! Haha… Reminds me of Dune.

[@wendypacheco7438]

I love this idea. Keep making fun videos!❤

[@24913299]

been watching for ages , i had to subscribe . keep up the great work. really enjoy the competitive between you,

[@Anomalous-Plant]

Repeats of these would be awesome! To see what would you do differently

[@jamesconran9871]

Great show.

[@outdoor-buddy]

Very cool scenario! Keep it up! Greetings to ireland!

[@eyeofearth6712]

Nice video! A little trick for your water bottle toggle, tie the line off-center. It makes it easier to remove when it is hot.

[@jeffproctor1690]

I know this is a late comment, but I have just discovered this fantastic video series guys! Seems like a reoccurring problem is the water boiling containers being too damn hot to move from the fireside. Simple fix for you. Take two sticks and make essentially a pair of nanchucks out of them. Wet the cord, flip it over the jar/bottle and cinch the jar quickly then remove before the cord catches fire. Now, it would also be smart to test for the proper cord length between the sticks before you have a jar of boiling water to deal with. Imagine it as using the cord to confirm and grip around the back of the container while the sticks grip the sides and also create tension. That would be 3 sides of contact---more than enough to move the container. Anyway, great series, will be watching them all.

[@LittleMighty1956]

Thank you I love watching you guys. You're like a couple of furry, forest fairies... as opposed to trolls ;) Where are the fish and frogs? Do you have crawdads there? More please!

[@shellbacksclub]

Lol! He did bring a survival blanket!

[@steveleslie7484]

It’s great to see you guys back. 🤙🤙

[@mattsmith6908]

I think you should both get one of those ready made survival tins exactly the same. Them see the different approaches you would have with the same gear.

[@derekcascio]

I thought I was going to have to wait until next Friday for Part 2. What a pleasant surprise. Keep it up boys!

[@Rodiroess]

A ferro-rod add on for a Swiss army might be my favorite thing you can add to one, Swiss Army knives are so cool lol

That frog lure is epic :D :D

Great video guys. 👍

Great video gents. Maybe try cane poles or something like that pretty simple to make.

Don't know if it is new, or I'm just now noticing it, but I love the music additions. If y'all ever want some Irish or Scottish Bagpipes let me know, be happy to send you something.

Julius and struging to make fire, name a more iconic duo

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

That was a cool idea for a challenge and a really great film. Was good to check in with you lads again and see you both doing your thing. I did a 5 item challenge in the Lake District mountains a couple of weeks back and like you said 24 hrs isnt much of a challenge but you always learn something 🙂👍. Great stuff lads and brilliant to see how well you're doing with the subscriber numbers. Cheers lads, atb Rick n Billydog

[@melonyrichards937]

Woo-hoo. Great job guys

[@antchung2370]

Use the fatwood to begin with it saves you a hundred strikes on that tiny ferorod, and when you get first flame put more fatwood on, "that's why you brought it!"

[@K0GNITION]

Skunked on the fishing every time! Haha. Really enjoyed this

[@K0GNITION]

@@rakkatazz3739 oh yes lol I remember that now. Did Julius throw it back or just lose his grip on it?

Nice jacket Dylan, Austrian army field jacket. got the same one.

[@chriseegee-man6918]

Another high quality video lads, well done 💯👍

[@christopherpowell6135]

So glad julius is prepared to try some experimental options. Who knows the fire starter and worm charm might have been sperb! Great video ,best thing i have watched in ages

[@FalkOutdoors]

Splendid video again. That headlamp is very nice. I have the same one. I got it since december, used it pretty often and only had to charge it 2 times until this day. I'm looking forward to the new roundhouse episodes.

[@SmoothGefixt]

Thanks! Yes very happy with it aswell!

[@linovc2982]

Top Video!

[@shyleev9776]

I really enjoyed this video!👍🏻

[@Tser]

Haha I've used that method to gather worms but we just put a fork (or pitchfork) the ground and tap and wiggle it. It's a lot less prep. Even dancing or tapping your feet can work; several animals use this behavior to catch worms.

[@souleater307]

i love the cheap space blankets they can be used for so many things. i live where it gets super cold and pretty hot and humid so they come in handy and for fun. i like in winter to stuff my boots with some and jam the rest up my snowpants and if im really cold stuff my jacket and put a little in my hat. in the summer ill put it im my hammock for when it drops down and gets chilly. i wrap myself up like burrito and im comfy with my shorts and light shirt on. ive herd they can make good solar stills but never tried. i sometimes use them to mark trails since it breaks easy and i feel bad just tossing it in the trash.

[@jshillkiller2262]

Awesome guys! 39.37 mins lol.."biszhnesh"

[@sawyerfoltz3532]

That sweet fro though!!

[@quentingallea166]

22:50 what a sick shot+

[@civlaki]

very good very cool

[@norfunk]

The battery you tried to use was an 18650 which is usually a lithium cell of some sort and the reason you couldn't get it to work is that they often have a protection circuit in them to stop them shorting and it's a good thing to as they can explode when shorted so you it may have saved you from a nasty burn.

[@SmoothGefixt]

Mmmh, that's some intresting input there! Thanks

[@mattswift42]

AWESOME!

[@richardcull4126]

Keep the content man love watching

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Julius, had you fluffed up that grass/Reed material first it would have probably taken a spark but would have taken with the fatwood fibres had they been IN the tinder bundle, plus starting the fire in the place you intend to have the fire is always a good idea. Dylon, had you laid a couple of small tree trunks either side of your leaf bed they would have held the leaves in place better keeping a reasonable thickness. Just a few little tips, hope they help lad's. Good video, atvb to you both. Paul.

[@robkirkham8873]

Amazing, part two 😁

[@DaleStLouis-xb5mx]

Dylan's shelter looks a lot better, but he slept cold. Julius maybe had the right idea, wrapped in blanket instead of shelter over. Rain might have made huge difference.

[@isigo]

33:07 Dylan is like: Oh maaaan! WHAT IS HE DOING!?! 😂

[@vandelftcrafts2958]

I used a handline with a piece of found styrofoam as bobber and worms and corn kernels as bait in a small pond two weeks ago and caught 7 small carp in a matter of a few hours. Quite tasty as well

[@ziploc53]

Awesome

[@manuelschiller7674]

I really liked the Idea, but I also think that you would survive one day even without food. Why not making it like 3 days with both of you one bottle but you're working together. So you can pack the bottles with more structure. I really would love to see more Videos of you soon!

[@edwardmolloy708]

Summoning worms 😄😄

[@MAJJJJJJ]

I think you have a brilliant idea with the battery and the paper to light the fire . you had an idea you tried it . it didnt work out the way you expected . but you tried. And I believe if you keep on trying it will work . it worked at your desk. Maybe keeping things prep cut a stronger battery like you used and the concept will work. I saw it work great on your computer table. Yes.
