You just gave me a huge amount of useful information in this one short video. Much like your books. Very easy to understand,concise and to the point. Thank you very much.

1. I use a Black & Decker 3/16" Glass & Tile drill. It's the only thing I've found to drill through a file. 2. I don't. I wear a watch one my left wrist and a Suunto M9 wrist compass on my right wrist. -John-

Great video.. I can't put things in my pockets because I tend to sweat a lot when I hike.. but I do make sure to toss in a few zip lock bags. Thanks for the video

Great video! This is exactly how I think when walking through the woods! I turn every hike in the woods into a teaching experience for my daughter, too! Thanks for the advise!

Great video on resources in nature. I've found that some broken floor tiles actually sparked quite well.

Nice video sir. I was introduced through Wilderness Outfitters YTC. Great idea carrying the steel with you to check rock hardness. Now I want to try white pine tea and you said duty a lot during the Natures Charmin segment. It made me laugh, thank you. Take care and all the best.

[@survivalresources]

ArcherReaper, The only "pine" I know that is considered poisonous (at least to cattle and other animals) is the Ponderosa Pine. All pine needles are toxic if taken in large quantities or real often. However, for occasional use, especially a survival situation, I personally don't have a problem ingesting some good vitamin "C". Keep in mind that not all conifers are safe. As with any plant you might want to ingest, as I say in the video, do your homework and identify correctly 100%. -John-

[@survivalresources]

Thanks!!

[@donaldphinney]

2 questions. 1) how did you drill the hole in the file (files are pretty hard steel)? 2) why are you wearing 2 watches?

[@survivalresources]

Note: The Yew, which is an evergreen, and even found in landscaping, is potentially fatal if ingested by humans.

[@wmluna381]

You're the first survival / bushcraft-adjacent person I have seen mention this about the Yew. And I've watched A LOT of these types of videos.

[@MrJherime]

As my old granny taught me "grab opportunity by the forelock 'cos he ain't got no tail"

[@Redshift313]

Rightly or Wrongly... me parents Always taught me to get water out of White Water NOT slowly moving or the standing part of a Creek or Stream, if possible. Hey you argue with me Dad... my hard earned money is on my Dad cause you'll Loose !!! lol Great Ideas... Thx
