Hello from PH

[@mikeyheltonjr]

Hahahahaha oh man I love the Hardee's ending lol. I'm happy that you mentioned how much you have learned in just that short week. This challenge is harder than most people think. So I'm glad to see that you are willing to roll with the punches and learn early on. There is two ways you can learn from nature. You can let her teach you willingly or you can go through a lot of pain. I'm glad you are willing to learn and not try to over power nature. Great job my friend! I hope you enjoyed your stay and most of all your meal lol.

I thought all would like that. (LOL). I did learn a great deal and going back this weekend coming up to finish what I can. Hate to leave things undone. I am sure I will learn more on that adventure too. I love learning the hard way because it sinks in with me and stays in my head for a lifetime. Enjoyed the mushroom burger the most. Continuation video is coming. Thanks for watching Mikey.

Hi Sir. was wanting to ask you a question that is right up your alley. What knife would you recommend to all bushcrafters or survivalists? I have been using a lot of different ones over the years and I am still looking for that one that just fits me well, Examples are a Firestarter and P4 Leatherman to name a few.

@@QuesttogetontheAloneShow-qq3cz ahhh the holy grail of bushcrafting 🔪, after several years of pondering the same question for myself , I came across a kitchen knife that fit the bill. I searched the web and found the PKS Camp and Trail (pathfinder knife shop), high carbon, great handle, long enough to chop food and defend against that one bear or wolf lol 😂! Your show is great I’ll keep watching!!!!

taking the two person, cotton rope hammock lets you NOT take the snarewire, paracord, gillnet and fishing kit. That's how you get to take the salt and the rations of pemmican and Gorp. Those items are how you can work like hell the first 10 days, enabling you to catch enough fish to keep on trucking. Netting can be wrapped around stick 'box frames" and used to catch crabs, birds and rabbits. The cross wires on the Judohead blunts can become barbed treblehooks for trotlines. where it's not feasible to use netting. While you're making the ceramic cookpots and their close-fitting, gasketed lids, make 50 plus baked-clay balls for use vs birds and small game, via the slingbow.

when you know how to make a 0F capable shelter in 1 day and a work pavilion in half a day, and you dont need a fire in the sleeping-tent, you save 1 week of calories and time on the shelter, 2 weeks on the firewood. If you know to stone boil 5 gallons of water at a time, 1 hour per time, twice per week, you save another week's worth of time and calories. 30 days has often separated 4th place from the winner. if you also learn what to do with those saved 30 days you can do even better as to staying power, and also suffer a lot less. Making clay refining pits, charcoal, kiln, and ceramic cookpots gives you a MUCH better life out there and will guarantee you a lot more 'face-time' on the show. So will making a 7 piece composite, "father and son" bow out of pieces of wood no more than 2 ft long. The gorilla tape makes it very easy to fletch arrows. Showing how to make fire hardened wooden broadheads will get some face-time, So will knowing to have the Saw-edged cold steel shovel. Make and the modified Crunch multitool able to be taken apart and re-assembled with your bare hands. Make longer and various configurations of handles for the shovel and you can have a pick/axe/rake, a 2 handed axe (with stone weight) stand up shovel, vertical ice-chipper/posthole digger, Without the handle, the shovel is a SKILLET, a "big knife", trowel and prybar. The addition of 2 real-deal, nicholoson file blades and a carbon steel knife blade make the Crunch a very useful tool, letting you sharpen the shovel, it's saw teeth and your knife. Converting the small flathead into an awl/drill blade lets you make the mounting holes in the various shovel-handles.

I’d love to stay in the woods for a couple weeks, but I got work lol, so I’m a weekender haha, I got a couple forts/shelters in the mountains, either way mice fine a way lol, I’m writing this while watching, are you just going to work and back out? I thought maybe you were just staying out there for awhile

[@QuesttogetontheAloneShow-qq3cz]

Hi Thanks for watching. No unfortunately I have to work then go out on my spare time on the weekends, unless I take some vacation time like i did when I did this 5 day. Day 6 is coming soon.

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

@@QuesttogetontheAloneShow-qq3cz oh ok cool, well at least you were out for a week, my job doesn’t have help so I can’t really take off lol, I only get the major holidays to go on big camping adventures, but ya any time I can I’ll head out for a night or two, good luck man
