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

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

[@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.

I please im drowning 😔

[@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.

[@spencerjordan305]

So in conclusion... OH MAN!

[@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.

[@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:)

[@albertoplebani77]

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!

[@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

[@nelsonl.friday1878]

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

[@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!

[@samtez9570]

i really honestly enjoy your survival videos one of the best intresting channel ...im so glad i found this..thank you..and please dont quit.love from india ✌💛

hey man you found my childhood club house brings back so many memorys

For real? I though it was another guy's?;)

[@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:)

[@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.

[@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.

[@durbledurb3992]

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

[@WayneTheSeine]

You have mastered the primitive fire..... great 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;)

[@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

[@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.

[@starvat]

love smooth music on this chanel also thought, that would be awesome to make some bushcraft trip but with some of guys just not to loose myself in the woods

[@trustmeforreal6361]

Two months in ...still watching i felt kinda sad i found ur channel abit late but m glad i did found it..plez upload more of this survival videos..i just love every single survival videos of yours...keep doing what u r doing, always supporting

[@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.

[@JBreeze4598]

Julius I have been going back and re watching the older vids. I like the sign on the shelter It said "Bushcraft Clubhouse", a sign on the out side of the frame. This was one good VID!!

[@KatherineUribe-1]

You have an excellent grasp of the English language and many American idioms. You crack me up! You're brilliant! Thank you for posting this and putting a smile on my face.😊 And your survival skills are great! I don't think you need to worry about the guy who built that shelter. There was moss growing on the bench seats, so he hasn't been around for awhile.👍😊

[@SmoothGefixt]

Sweet comment, thank you:)

This was the first video I’ve watched of yours, VERY impressed. You now have a new subscriber, thanks for the videos!

[@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

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

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!

[@SmoothGefixt]

Thanks man, will take it into account, but alsowe have done a lot bowdrillign already on the channel

[@keithbarney9051]

Have you heard of the Rabbit Stick gathering in Idaho, USA? It is near my home. The people there are awesome. It is hosted by Dave Wescott. He is quite famous and has even been involved training people like Bear Grylls in making a plow fire and such. If you could come for the gathering it would be fantastic! It would be easy for me to help with getting you transport and housing as i am a university professor. Look up the gathering and the host and please think of coming for a visit to Idaho. You could also take advantage of your time here with other trips to Yellowstone Park or the Teton Mountains, or the great rivers of Idaho. And you could speak in University classes as a guest!
