Overnight SURVIVAL with self forged PRIMITIVE KNIFE only

[@SmoothGefixt]

Wazaaaa!:) So the Primitive Knife I'm using is a really special one! Self-forged from a piece of scrap steel found at the riverside, with just stone tools. Check out the Primitive Forging video together with craftsman Felix Immler here >>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3qcZ4ODYp2ol6M

[@nicespike5811]

Ive been watching Smooth Gefixt for quite some time now. And at first I was hesitant of watching after Dylan stopped being in every video but you've completely turned me around. Im loving the solo videos a lot more than I expected. Plus you keep cracking me up with your clumsiness please keep showing it in the videos :D. Keep up the great videos and 'taking care about nature' as you put it, good to inform the people watching about the big ''no noes'' of survival. Groetjes van een mede Hollander.

[@SmoothGefixt]

That's a nice comment:)

[@yeetmobileyeet9608]

Ohhhh man

[@jaysbooshcraft3889]

Cheers for the birch bark tip- I would have felt lousy if i killed a tree one day!

[@666JPF]

I think that camp was designed for people to come in with a tarp

[@velazquezarmouries]

it definitely lookslike a perimeter wall of a tarp setup

[@jesse7300]

And yet it is not. For many of us Fins tarp is just waste of space/something extra to carry. It's useful ofc, but you can build "Laavu" = 'lean-to shelter'. You can just use branches or moss, grass or hay etc. to make it good enough. Tarp would be ideal to make it waterproof fast but far from needed

[@jesse7300]

Tarp was designed for that lean-to shelter to make it waterproof faster, tarp is not needed for that shelter and imho useless. I'm from Finland and summer nights can go below zero celsius and winters around -40C and F. Have been out there in both conditions, also in warm summer nights, best is lean-to 'laavu in fin' shelter.

[@jhard94]

Pretty good assumption

[@garrysekelli6776]

The tarp was probably folded and hidden somewhere nearby.

[@xXExpressYourselfXx]

Spends an hour looking for birch bark .. sleeps on it :D

[@nathangodfrey5362]

In the rain as long as you already have fire, it's smart. Keeps the wet from the ground from soaking you that would be sapping your body heat, as well as providing a basic insulation layer. You get as much cold off the ground as the air around you

[@petef15]

@@nathangodfrey5362 He's talking about the unused birch logs that were just sitting there covered in bark.

[@a.i.a3949]

Fair enough, I tried to go on a camp with a crappy knife I made myself, only because I lost my actual knife, had a great time, had to lug around a 2kg sharpening stone.

[@yeetmobileyeet9608]

Ohhh man

I think you are a very skilled guy. You have real bushcraft talent. And it's great to see such a passion in what you do! Please, continue making such great videos if you enjoy it!

[@lrodd247]

I genuinely love watching your videos! Between your clumsiness and accent and the mishaps, you're just so hilarious and you don't even realize it! 😂 Stay humble my friend and don't ever change. 👍😎✌️

[@SmoothGefixt]

Thanks Luis:)

[@michael.bombadil9984]

This cat is amazing. I’m looking forward to see how he masters his skills over the next ten years. Just don’t sell out!!!

[@derrick3481]

Out of just about anyone I’ve seen, I’d pick you to survive in the wilderness while stranded with. While many survivalist have similar knowledge and skill sets, I know of very few that have your level of optimism and attitude. That can be the difference between life and death in an emergency situation. Love watching you

[@SmoothGefixt]

Those are some sweet words:) Thanks!

[@nelsonl.friday1878]

Love your improvisational reactions on your videos it shows that knowledge will overcome confusion and hopelessness. Awesome job.

[@leslyfajardo9150]

Your content is top notch and you are not getting as much publicity as you would be getting. You are my favorite youtubers and I love all your video, with or without Dylan this channel is the best. P.S. I am watching this for like the 5th time

[@SmoothGefixt]

Whouwh man! I would say 5 time is more then enough, haha;)

You have mastered the primitive fire..... great job!

[@bushmonkeycraftsrestoratio5332]

Nice Jules, practice, practice and practice you made it look easy mate. You are one of the most humble down to earth people I have came across, I wish you all the best brother

[@SmoothGefixt]

Those are nice words, thanks mate:)

[@prasaite]

16:06 they dont kill birch. That brown is a inner bark of birch, Phloem is just a innermost layer of bark. White part of birchbark is just for protection from sunrays in early spring. Birch cant warm so fast, fluids dont move from roots, and during cold night they dont freez. And under that white birch bark is another layer of standart bark.

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

You can actually take birch bark from a living tree as long as you do not damage the layer under it by cutting through all the way down to the wood.

[@dylanhalverson7599]

Julius! I do recall you mentioning in a previous video you would like to visit the rain forest one day. Perhaps the struggle of making fire in wet conditions can help you in a future scenario in a rainforest. We must be able to adapt to our environment. Good luck to you! -Dylan

[@durbledurb3992]

The kids will come back and think the fairies have spruced up their lean-to. Great video.

[@MrFlixibu]

FINALLY YOU'RE BACK!!!missed watching SG videos!!

[@zidanelionheart]

Dude I've been watching your videos for a week or so. Honestly man, you're super cool and chill and fun to listen to! I'm learning too! Also Dylan is a pretty cool guy as well.

[@gmtbushcraft8235]

The knife did the job for which it was forged. But beyond all your video it was very good. He had all blood and sweat, humor but also valuable information. I liked the optimism with which you approached the situation that you are supposed to be, I think this is the right attitude in a real survival situation. Thank you.

[@HatchetSurvival]

love these challenges! i hope to make videos like this once i finish my shelter!

[@robinette0323]

Film your shelter build too. I'll watch. I'm sure others would also .

That intro is beautiful! I'm sure the rest of the vid will be too!

[@MrSheckstr]

Whenever I settle for a lean to type shelter I like to bring along something for a counter slope if the rain is coming in the opposite direction. A narrow strip that can be affixed to the top as an awning when sitting, or halfway down the back slope and draped over the body when laying down. I realize most of your videos are based upon the premise of not planning for anything more than a hike in the woods (this no food, fire starting materials except maybe a ferorod, and no shelter material ) but even a rain poncho can be used as a counter slope

[@hawkeye454]

Love your videos!

[@schwarzerpeter9432]

i found an old hatchet in the garden, put it into the oven and the steel got soft (i love it cause on a stone it get´s sharp as hell) you where righ on birch-bark - suckers cutted into the cambium and the tree will die :( i like the fact the bowdrill worked out - since you did not manage the batterie-light-up :D go on and proceed

Blood Sweat And No Tears Brother Great Work Earthling

[@U84Skin]

I saw that thing in the woods like that camp I was scared I was like are these for the natives

[@SmoothGefixt]

Haha, it's just western Europe here. A wild bushcrafter is as native as it is going to get

[@U84Skin]

I went there 5 months ago or less idk

[@U84Skin]

It scared me

[@U84Skin]

Smooth Grefixt watch my video it’s going to be complete on Tuesday

[@U84Skin]

Oh $@#% your the person who made this that sort of scared me

[@judgeovyoursoulvo8685]

Now that's the way to start a survival video !

[@mikemartinell]

Excellent. No way to repair birch trees when that happens?

[@MrSheckstr]

Not really ... imagine a tree trunk is like your arm, except 95% of the mass is your bone and all your bloods supply is right under the first few layers of your skin. Cut too deeply (and that’s measured in millimeters) and all the way around and everything from that point to your hand eventually will die. My dad keep an apple tree alive and fruiting for 20years with only a hand-width of love bark still attached to the roots. In the end the entire trunk was rotted away and turned into a ants nest and only a single branch bore fruit every other year, but those were the most perfect and sweet apples I had every had

[@mikemartinell]

@@MrSheckstr Well I am very glad that I have learned this now, before doing something very foolish in the future.

In Europe you can't really be alone in the wilderness, cause it doesn't exist;) Soon I hope to make some time to invest in the patreon. Stay tuned!

[@mrSkandalpolisen]

@@SmoothGefixt Here in Sweden there are no problem finding camping sites where you will be alone for sure. It can even be scary lonley if you know you are the only human being in 10-50 miles radius. In some areas the bear density is up to 1 bear per 10 sqkm (that makes around 80 bears in an area with a 10 mile radius). I have never had any encounters with bears though (I would like to see a bear in nature sometime....but in distance...). It's a funny feeling though to know there are more bears nearby than humans.

[@droodude5903]

I love your videos man and they always inspire me to get outdoors and take care of nature! Your bow drilling skills have increased a ton and I'd love it if you did a more in-depth video on how to make a bow drill including small details like what knot you used to tie the string onto the bow. I think that's a good video idea and you will get more practice and be able to pass on knowledge to rookies like me!

[@PPALoft]

Amazing videos. I enjoy everyone of your uploads :D As for the knife, it seems very handy. From what I can see, that might have enough carbon in it to be heat treated and you could have done this yourself (heating and quenching in water and then tempering the blade) just after you made fire. That would have been fun to try :D Keep up the great work you're doing here!
