When I married my wife, I had an LL Bean queen size wool trapper blanket. She washed it one day. Now I have really heavy, thick, single size wool trapper blanket. But, it is warm!

Thank you for demonstrating how minimal does not always mean a knife. I see too many videos in which the knife is the basic cutting tool. Granted it lends itself to many uses and is easier to carry; however, it also tends to infer that a knife is too important. I am reminded of Otzi the iceman's kit. A knife and an axe. We tend to focus on a knife much like focusing on a firearm. We lose sight of the axe and its multiple uses if pressed into service. So thanks for featuring the axe.

Love a small hatchet. So useful. Really should build your bed against a large stump, rock, or build a wall then have your fire with its own wall behind it to push the heat into you and then bunch off the barrier on the other side. This radiant heat will not only keep you warmer but it will allow you to have a much smaller fire and use less wood.

G'day Andrew, what I particularly like about "5" vids, is that it pushes the boundaries of the selected 5 and as a result, forces one to think outside the box. If you have more items, well and good, apply the same logic to those too. Being winter specific, I'm surprised no tarp, but I guess you do have the tools and natural resources, (and perhaps trash), to build a shelter, so fair enough mate. Cheers Duke.

Nice Roycroft frame. I always lash on another 8-10” horizontal stick about 8” down from the top of the frame. That way I can easily use my ridgeline as the lashing for the blanket/tarp by going around the tips of all 4 points and not using the top except for the shoulder straps.

hey Andrew I live way south pass the border were the winter is not harsh at all, but temps could drop down to the 20’s, I find more useful in my case a chopper rather than a hatchet maybe because machetes are widely use here and I feel more comfortable with that kind of tool something like the gerber golok or tops el chete, one thing I definitely will try is the pot, great videos, keep them coming!

I think I would leave the hatchet at home and take a good WWII entrenching tool. I can think of a lot more uses for that and if I did break the handle it can easily be replaced. I can break the ice with a rock and do everything else with one sharp edge on the entrenching tool.

A word about Axe/Hatchet / Tomahawk for winter use. When temperatures remain below freezing over time the moisture in wood will freeze. Trying to cut frozen wood with a knife isn't easy. In my opinion.....Axe / Hatchet / Tomahawk is still King of the Woods no matter what season . Have a way to re-sharpen , and always work on an improvised anvil when possible. P.S.- Most of the little stuff that was cleared off the trees and limbs could have been hammered off with the poll.

I was looking at kukris before stopping by. Very impressive, and for a well made reliable one we're talking over $200 FRN's. Now I imagine that axe is a might less than that. Plus you can break ice on a pond with it.Not to mention pound stakes in the ground. I've got a '4 pelt' Hudson Bay blanket I need to break out. Thanks for all you do Andrew, well done.
