Sorry for the delay in this week's video! Here's more survival tips: kzbin.info/aero/PLxnadpeGdTxAJy5_f_-6cjrAnuWRwUf8M&si=Hti_MfogYtJRAkLt

Ok

[@sergeykoshelev4566]

Thanks for You tips. Just noticed that your axe has some lens on it. As I presume, it's Hultafors. I've got almost the same, and mine has one too, which is weird to me, as I've been taught that it could cause an axe to bump off the wood, while side swinging, which is not great. Now it makes me curious if it's a big issue anyway. Would appreciate any thoughts on the matter. Thanks in advance.

[@kingrafa3938]

No need to sorry Mike

[@rachansribunrueang975]

Good morning ☀️🌞

[@beardedpolishwanderer]

Very useful tips mate. You are doing a great job and don't worry about how often you upload content...it's about quality not quantity with you bud. 👍😁

[@vinnycobb3713]

amen

[@Sally-nse2]

I just love that you are including Eve, my father did this with me as soon as I could form a sentence and without any doubt I learned, I retained and I appreciated greatly and loved all my time with my dad building things/doing DIY/maggot races😂/ fishing/ camping/being woodsy and out in nature. I never regretted a single moment and I believe your children - especially your daughter - will remember, learn and not regret a single moment doing these things with you. Dad 🏆.👏👏

[@christosfloros7519]

I would love a knot tutorial video! Nice job overall!!!😊

[@chrisjudd8576]

Same

[@akashmondal9829]

Hi ta outdoors, I have been watching your videos for a year now and I find your work really cool. Keep it up!❤

[@TAOutdoors]

Cheers!

[@MattGeo4754]

Thanks for all the advice you've given us!

[@TAOutdoors]

Glad you enjoy the vids!

[@philiptaylor7902]

Lovely to see your daughter out and enjoying herself in nature. Too few kids get this kind of opportunity these days.

[@KaylynnStrain]

Eve steals the show !!!!! oneseriously adorable little sprout !!!!!! LOVE these skill demo vids !!!!!!

[@jamescanjuggle]

Would love an update to your work on maintaining the woodland! I want to do something similar once i have enough money saved up, and so far your contents been great for high quality well produced information on the topic!

[@TAOutdoors]

Yep update coming this winter! I tend to leave the management of the woods in the summer to let it flourish and then do the work in the winter months.

[@mr.r2816]

Great tips! Here's a point for those who want to get into bushcraft: Get yourself some quality knives and hatchets. Your tools have to be always sharp when you get into an adventure, thus the steel must be strong enough to keep the blade sharp for a long time. If is too soft, then will lose the sharpness very fast. If the tool is not sharp enough you won't get the shaves as tin as you see here in this video. You will struggle, lose energy and at the end the shaves will be just bad. If you are really into bushcraft, maybe you will consider trying to forge your own knife from recycled steel, this is a very exciting project.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

Your excellent, common sense ideas and long experience are a gold mine. Thank you❤️🤗🐝

[@FNHot]

The Jason Statham of camping.

[@oldtimer9879]

Hi Mike, It's always good to see you back in the woods and at the bushcraft camp. I've really enjoyed you sharing these skills, they are practical, and good to know. Please can you make another video on the most common and useful bushcraft knots as I really need the practice and learn better by being shown. Cheers Mike for another great video and so nice to see your daughter out in the woods with you learning some really good skills.

[@dandes7113]

Another vote for bushcraft knots tutorial video here 🙋

[@matthewwilliams3827]

It’s just like sharpening a pencil ✏️ with a knife but on a bigger scale really. Cool.

[@StoicriderX]

I’m just getting into bush craft, this was brilliant help

[@LeBunBuns]

I really love the pace of your examples. Slow enough to realistically grasp the information and placement. While many others go so wuickly its like they assume you already know what your doing. I also really like that you show tips using things anyonencan find around them vs tools that others assume we already own

[@suzisaintjames]

Thank you for showing the pot hanger in such great detail. I've seen it before but could never figure out the notch. The X really shows it. Thanks 💖🌞🌵😷

[@enislive]

More like this! Thank you

[@derultnerlp9319]

If you want to learn about bushcraft and this type of stuff there is no way around your channel. I went „camping“ with my girlfriend this summer for the first time and your videos helped me a TON. Keep up the good videos no matter how long they take to make👍👍

[@emmakimble8946]

Hi some of things u did I got to learn those in the army so thank u for recapturing my memory

[@ScorrFamilyAdventures]

Another great video, thank you for sharing!!

[@alakardglanoth]

I've followed this channel for years, can we please send this out to the people who are innocent and just need help hiding? Bush craft can save lives!!

[@ericb.4358]

One bushcraft skill I was taught as a Boy Scout in the 1950s (yep, I'm a geezer) is "pioneering" i.e. lashing. I never forgot those skills nether have helped me over the years. LEARN LASHING! Also I was taught how to use and sharpen axes of all sizes in that Scout Troop. Great skills!

[@Survival2025]

You are extraordinary, very motivating us

[@chasetherocknroll5144]

Great video! I enjoy how you present and educate in a way everyone can follow. Totally Awesome 👏

[@user-kx9mt1kb5k]

I particularly liked the demo of burning twigs vs spit kindling , good to know, thanks.

[@TAOutdoors]

Try it out! Works really well

[@scoochiemoffit]

Excellent choice of subject matter. Very informative. Well thought out. I'm just getting started, you fixed so many things for me in this video. Perfect presentation. thank you. I just subscribed.

[@user-pd5wl6ji6t]

Just watching the one of you and your Dad playing Conkers. ( 5 yrs ago it says) I'm dying laughing! Y'all are adorable! I have five boys, grown now and I'm going to show them that game,lol. They will love it. Boys never truly grow up and I'm grateful for that❤ living your show from across the pond in Texas.

[@wayneparker9331]

I LOVE your videos. I've used your tips several times while camping here in the high Sierras and continue to learn from each your your videos as I go camping with increasing frequency before the start of the winter. 👏👏👏👏

[@greekeater]

YES YES YES YES, I love your videos

[@krishjain8472]

I like your videos very much. Keep up the work

[@user-er2zf9vg1o]

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with heart.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Just when I believe I have seen your tips and tricks, you come up with new ones or with better presentations, including new information. I will look forward to regular weekly uploads!

[@TainoViking]

Thank you for making these great educational videos.

[@RedHerring2587]

Can't wait to try some of that when I go camping 👍 I'm also trying out the tent tarp and see how it goes.

[@23PNS12O]

Great vid 'TA'. Thanks for uploading another EPIC bushcraft skills video.

[@victorzaidan6493]

10/10

[@MattSpinks]

I'll add a bushcraft tip. At about <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="550">9:10</a> you tie your pot hanger around a tree and explain how, with very little effort (carving the hanger, learning the arbor knot, keeping the hanger on your person/in your pack while hiking, carving the hanger, and applying the arbor knot in such a way that it will hold that hangar), you can hang your pack on a stick. There are already sticks conveniently attached to trees where you can hang your pack.

[@johnwyman5939]

Nice job on showing the different bushcraft tips .. Nice job on video!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

[@jessicapayne8622]

Sticks? STICKS?!!! My 3 year old grandson loves sticks! I’ll show him this vid and we’ll go out to the park and he can show me what he remembers! Your daughters cute and she’ll Make a food daddy’s little helper! X

[@DF4Trap]

[@pyeitme508]

Amazing 🤩

[@jacobsemar8993]

Good stuff....

[@oldncarvingJohn]

Watch your pallet cabin videos. Loved them. Now subscribed. ❤

[@seedy-waney-bonnie4906]

Very good tips....My bug out site deep in the wilderness just got burned out from wildfire started by lighting. I've had that site for 6 years, been in and out of there many times. Now I have to go way north of there to a wilderness I've never been in before to find another bug out site.

[@Snook_sub]

Nice video!

[@TheGlatch]

😍😍That is a beautiful axe, what axe is it? I don't see it in the Amazon links Also keep up the great work, love the videos filled with useful info!👌👌

[@KAZSANable]

Needed❤❤

[@fathersonoutdoors7487]

Hi from Newfoundland Canada great video buddy as always

[@TAOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@OwenShepard]

Just saw your World War II Foxhole videos And I was wondering if you’re going to make anymore World War II styled videos I really enjoyed them

[@bettytroyer9436]

What a cutie! Does she favor her mom?

[@GregBrecker]

Yo Mike, ( that’s a Philly hello or shout out ). Glad you’re making these videos and sharing you’re acquired knowledge. Don’t know if there is a way to categorize your videos by type, like specific builds, knife, knot, tarp, etc… It would be a great help either from your own personal website or a link in each platform. A branched format by type we could revisit. Maybe even with sections by type within them would be incredibly useful for a bloke like myself having a go at a bushcraft oriented camping trip. Thanks again, carry on…GDBRECKER

[@garretthaynes8488]

Love the knife, where did you get it?

[@joshuadelisle]

Feather sticks are different between wood species too and how green or how rotten they are. You used dry hazel which is good for making feather sticks but isn't as good for fire lighting compared to a resinous fir or pine. I coppice hazel too and it makes excellent charcoal if you fancy pit firing. I'm up for a colab if you are. Cheers J

[@calebpeterson9050]

Love your vids. What knife are you using in this vid?

[@NeroontheGoon]

Do you prefer a single or a double bevel knife, and why? I would think it has to do with knife hygiene, maintaining a good single edge without the trouble of maintaining both sides of the blade?

[@dgrantreiter]

Hi , Florida USA here, Enjoy all your vids !! Question what are these pants you are using , also the former Royal Marine had them in another vid of yours. They have the reinforced knees , seat etc. Who makes them ?

[@seraaron]

how do you identify different trees for different wood uses?

[@corbenj]

Would it be viable to do some kind of wrap around ridge line instead of two separate lines?

[@GypsyBushcraft1]

Great video nice ax what ax is it??

[@dgrantreiter]

never tried a axe like that for feather sticks. What Scandi knive are you using?

[@dachi_akhalkatsishvili]

Can you make video how to make slingshot? Please

[@bushcraft.avesta]
