who else likes before it starts just so they dont forget to because they go on a full screen Kent survival binge? awesome vlog as always pal

[@JoAmberDezonno]

This was very helpful and I can appreciate the very minimal talking. Thank you!

[@Smokedogzz]

i love how when you are sawing logs the caption says laughing, applause and clapping, lol

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Its great to see the "craft" in a bushcraft video and channel. So many have breezed away from the subject matter these days. Very enjoyable Andy. Cheers now. Moose.

[@Dankish1809]

Found this just before work, ahhh that will make my day thank you!!

[@KentSurvival]

nice! hope the day goes well

[@faisalscabin7451]

amazing

[@Wee_Morag]

You know that moment where you're looking for your glasses and they're on your head? I was watching this with all the wood moving around as you were cutting it, and my brain went, "He really needs a saw horse or something to keep that steady". *facepalm* Another great video Andy. They never fail to make me yearn for the woods or head for the fridge!

[@KentSurvival]

haha, future proof now :D

[@mickspain330]

Good filming Andy, made a great job of the saw horse, showing really good skills very enjoyable, 👍

[@yellowroseoftexas2890]

Love all things handmade. Great content as always. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, healthy & happy.

[@sandrozingas8356]

No matter how bad thing/ are your videos are always so calming and peaceful.

[@rivaldihudaya1447]

I dunno. But this is very satisfying and relaxing

[@phylliswilliamstn]

That's a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

[@northernembersoutdoors1045]

I gotta say Andy, great skills on show and your project is now coming along and I'm jealous, I have a back property but it's not mine so there can be long term thing there, to work away in a woodland, do a bit of work, then go away and come back and do a bit more, it's a dream, hopefully one day, I remember at your other place you turned up to work on the shelter, but then cooked a bloody good breakfast, and I didn't see much work after that ha ha, nice one mate, and stop with the bacon close ups, I'm famished now...cheers.

[@ogbobbyjohnson175]

Saw horse where?! I’m looking for him, Mate! 🤣😎❤️

[@hendrikarqitekt6286]

if you do not see it, you are not a bushcrafter

[@ogbobbyjohnson175]

hendRIK arQiteKt no, I’m not a bushcrafter. I just watch the videos

[@jamesellsworth9673]

His head is in the feedbag!

[@KentSurvival]

🤣 oh dear haha.. should have risen it at the end

[@lonewolfgeoff]

neeeiiggghhh! there it is 👆🏻

[@lindysmith13]

I LOVE your giant corkscrew

[@rodbennettakakampzite5448]

Andy: Another great video! Your sawhorse looks stout enough.. Thank you for sharing👍

[@MeyKitchen]

yes dear i think so and i always watching

[@jamesellsworth9673]

GREAT VISUAL IMAGES on this project. In my young adult decades, we did trail hiking/backpacking camps. TEMPORARY and LIGHT WEIGHT were the watchwords. As a teenager, I built a decent camp (using too many nails) and a mix of materials. I lost access to that woodland in a land sale. I LOVE this project! In my camp-building days, I did plenty of sawing. I lashed together a sawhorse and I didn't 'know my knots' so it was a bit wobbly. I cannot imagine why more woodcrafting KZbinrs don't make sawhorses early on in building 'bug out' shelters. I don't know why more of them don't graduate quickly from lashings to cut joinery and pegs. What you are showing is fun for me as well as being instructive.

[@kojombasi506]

For a minute there I thought there was gonna be no ketchup! Nice job 👍

[@claramullen]

Hi Andy there is a saying home is where you hang your hat. I love when you walk into the woodland and you drop your hat like (I'm home). It is very nice to have something work off of instead of bending down on the ground so much. Good looking sawhorse well secured.

[@keepthefaith35]

Nicely done Andy. Keep the faith.

[@stuartmitchinson430]

Thanks Andy. Lovely gentle vlogs when the World is in turmoil!! Thank you!

[@therealgunny]

can't wait for you to finish the hut

[@madelinelevy9067]

Hey there Mr. kent! I think you should need a drone camera to show us how beauty the wild is and how lake is wide and explore swiftly the undiscovered beautiful things beneath, as well it can help you locate your location, destination and sefetiness. Now-a-days drone cameras are the best buddies for campers like you.

[@hypercc1]

It's always a good day when you upload a new video Andy 👍

[@KentSurvival]

:) thank you

[@aliceg9571]

Hi Andy,. That’s a nice sawhorse. That should save your back for future projects. Have a good weekend and see you on the next one. ATB

[@70agrr]

Fantastic mate,loving the use of pegs rather than man made materials, all natural built.

[@paulwilliamson273]

I was amazed ..the work horse made a saw horse and only a bacon butty lol ...another great video

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers Paul.. bacon fuelled haha

[@bradley4294]

Wow, love that you take the time too take us all on your journey in the woods, it's therapy for all of us who can't get out ,for be it age..or health, or virus...thank you so much , I can't wait for you next adventure

[@OutdoorWarrior]

Epic Saw horse man.

[@KentSurvival]

thanks Buddy

[@valrackley4568]

Another great video Andy thank you

[@phatsid1]

A lot of work Andy but great reward . Thanks for another fantastic vid

[@juliesingleton243]

I’m a big fan of your show. No bushcrafter here. One of your videos is the last thing I watch at night before I fall asleep. Really helps me relax from the stress of the day. Could be your voice or accent not really sure. Two request though...can you be more specific where you are in your videos.... this Texas girl doesn’t understand why it’s already dark at 5:30 in some videos....because here it’s blazing hot and sunny from about 7am to 9pm every day and season. The other request more video in the snow.

[@payback5448]

Great video Andy keep them coming KZbin would be lost with out you here

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers Connor :D

[@lukefitt56]

Looks great Andy! Hopefully this will save your back some now 😃

[@gizmoteknodekker7060]

Popped up after a hot day processing trees from my dad's garden, next phase is a cabin and bench set. Well timed! Lol

[@susanbrown2909]

[@KentSurvival]

[@jado6006]

Hey dude, your vids got me thru some crazy stuff & inspired me to get busy with my own channel. Love to hear from you.

[@marianfrances4959]

Nothing like hand tools and handbuilding! Nice to see you today, Andy. All the best.😉🇨🇦

[@Lyndaloulindin]

Omgoodness Andy! That tomato on your sandwich looked so fresh like you picked it out of a garden ...haha lol....just kidding! We love our ketchup in Canada! Had some this morning on my scrambled eggs 😋 anyhow, very cool video...looked like a lot of hard work but very cool seeing you build that from scratch 👍🏼👍🏼 and again such peaceful surroundings 😍🤗

[@wolfbisbing486]

This was a fantastic video. Thanks for the great work.

[@sc.brand0n402]

Been waiting for another bushcraft video 👍🏽

[@paulchapman7684]

Really like the little stove 👍

[@GraysOutdoors]

Great video Andy. Looked like a lot of work.

[@lawrencemartin6041]

Brilliant. Thanks for this.

[@timkeagy4094]

I'm glad you are safe and I really enjoy your video's Andy. I have learned much through your skills. I always look forward to the next one. From Southern California. Stay safe.

[@malcolmT]

Great stuff as usual you and Simon better than anything on TV at the moment stay safe mate

[@faisalscabin7451]

Epic and imaginative adventure, I love you guys. God bless

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Nice n solid. I always find its the lateral stability that's hard to achieve but those opposite diagonals look like they are doing the job 👍 Cheers fella Rick n Billydog

[@simontemplar6898]

Lovely video. Thanks.

[@bgurtek]

Andy, I really love your structure design here. It looks good & solid.

[@tokoloshe42]

That looked like a fun project, im sure it will turn out great

[@50Squirrel]

Great video again Sir! Thank you for sharing!

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Earl

[@billyaitken1713]

I always thought there was a time & place for the smaller, folding saw & that kinds shows that the limited clearance/ close to the ground uses are a realistic prospect. Lovely build🤠👏👏👏. I saw some big, old Scotch augers at my local council tip recycling shop but I believe they were for doing the holes in the old wooden railway sleepers, and over 3 ft long. Just a bit too 'industrial' for one-man bushcrafting😞. Quality content & cinematography as always 🤠👏👏👏👍

[@vivoutdoors]

Well done Andy! A great addition to the camp. Stay well :-)

[@martinwicksterd7834]

Thank you again

[@thebasicsofcooking4633]

[@roloma3899]

Very good video

[@saadneakakhtar4932]

Amazing Video!

[@Dadangandara]

Amazing video

[@omarmiss8270]

Very Nice 😊

[@phillee2814]

Nice project! Instead of replacing the dowels (trennels) just use your knife and a log/mallet to split into each end, and hammer a wooden wedge into the split. It is a joint used in boat-building and is both very strong and very effective. My grandfathers one was built with logs from the half-dozen trees felled when his house was being built, in the 1920s - he was still using it until the late 1980s. It wasn't as tall, making it easier to lean onto a log which was being sawn to hold it down, and a single split (or possibly hewn - even my father was not yet a twinkle in grandad's eye when it was built!) log was laid in its two halves, flat side inwards, just above the crux and trenneled (pegged) in place to allow for sawing shorter logs. I used it frequently when I lived there, as they still had and enjoyed an open fireplace and a wood-burner (later a multi-fuel) stove. A couple of planks from an old pallet would work as well for the top channel if the primary aim is usefulness rather than trying to keep it rustic - the same goes for the diagonal bracing, of course. To the best of my knowledge, only one diagonal had to be replaced in the entire life of grandad's sawhorse, and it was stored outside in all weathers. A few of the joints were also reinforced with waxed twine over the years. I don't believe it was ever treated with any preservation product, but was brushed off, which eventually debarked the whole thing. Sadly, I have no idea what wood it was made of, but it may have been some of the smaller branches of an elm, which were common in that area at the time (although sadly, no longer). The grain was long and straight enough, and it was as tough as old boots. He was a lifelong believer in "build it right the first time, and it will also be the last". So that design is very strong and very long-lasting. Nails would have rusted out early in the length of time my grandad's lasted. The key is triangulation, as it is flexing which weakens the wood (and especially the joints) over time. The type which uses elongated pegs as legs, with a large log as the "spine" and various pegs in the top to hold logs will break legs off in the sockets in a fraction of the time, unless they are all made so massive as to make the whole thing an immovable (and therefore impractical) fixture.

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks, I did wedge one of the dowels as it was a little loose.. ill cross that bridge when I come to it.. have a shelter to finish in the mean time haha "build it right the first time, and it will also be the last" definitely wise words, id have liked to have taken a little longer on this but the heat plus the filming haha.. hopefully at least it'll get me through a year :)

[@phillee2814]

@@KentSurvival My grandfather was indeed a wise man! With his MA (Cantab) in chemistry, he chose to use it to pass on scientific knowledge to the next generation, by teaching science for his entire career. As teaching was a reserved profession, and he was a pacifist, he was not called up for WW2, so used his skills in a volunteer role as an ARP warden, in which organisation he was made gas officer for the whole district - probably a more dangerous role than any he would have been exposed to in the forces. It is not widely told, and I only discovered after his passing, that gas officers were the guys who declared UXBs safe for the bomb squad to approach and defuse or (in more remote areas) explode in place. This entailed frequent air and soil quality testing as the device was carefully uncovered by a small team of sappers wearing gas masks, then examining it for any discharge and testing any found. He never learned to drive, so covered the entire district by bicycle (up to 20 miles each way, in any weather, using wartime hooded blackout lighting if at night, which most call-outs were [that was when the raids happened]) - and he still had that bicycle, with the funny little brackets that he fabricated to carry his testing kit, in 1980. Oh, and rod brakes which only worked at all in the dry, and not very well even then. It even had the remnants of the white paint on the back mudguard, a wartime attempt to reduce the incidence of cyclists being rear-ended by motorists with similarly reduced lighting. I only found out about him being gas officer because I asked him what the brackets were for. Although chemistry was his specialism, he was very well informed in all sciences (and taught them all to A-Level, as department head) He was a keen naturalist and lifetime member of the YHA and Ramblers association. I learned much of my love of nature from him. He walked the Pennine way at least once every year from its opening until his 80s, two years before his death (his hip fracture stopped him, then the next year he was too frail) - once alone, and often again guiding others, and walked every long-distance path in the UK as they were opened - always camping unless he was within a mile of a youth hostel when the light faded.

[@mathewweeks9069]

Awesome video love it😎👍
