Paul is an absolute teacher in every sense of the word. The world would be a much better place if there were more people like him.

[@ladyofthemasque]

Notice how when he's carring the bare-blade axe away from where he cut down that dead standing bole, he's carrying the cutting edge angled *away* from his body. If he trips and stumbles, at most he'll get a bruise or minor cut from the axe, but the blade itself won't lodge into his body unless he fumbles it completely around. It's a subtle but important safety tip.

[@staticalphabetsoup637]

Anuel Jackson I’m late to reply but if I recall correctly it was a double sided axe.

[@iwalkoutdoors7888]

I really enjoyed that. The best bit was my 2 boys switched off their xbox and ps4 and started watching it with me. Result! They joined the Cub Scouts in January and I help out as an assistant leader.

[@SamSam-yf2xj]

It's crazy when you were mentioning the axe cover blending in I was thinking about how survival or bushcraft tools should preferably be in orange, unless the goal is stealth obviously. I always thought by having camouflage survival tools you're hiding them from yourself more than other things.

Brilliant video dude!! You can tell that Paul knows these things because he's been living it for a long time. there are so many little specifics that only years of experience can bring. You can really tell he didn't just read it in a book or see it in a video and then start talking about it like he's done it 100 times. He's really done all these things many times and you can tell.

[@msmith2367]

Brilliant video, many many thanks to you and Paul for the time and effort involved in bringing us the video. Proving that you're never too old to learn, after thirty plus years of practicing woodlore, or bushcraft, I've picked up a couple of extra tips that will save me time and effort in the future. I've never tried firestarting with just a pole and board, but massive respect for getting it going so quickly. The first time I tried bow drilling it took me considerably longer, which speaks a lot to Paul's tips and tricks, as in so many things, both bushcraft and otherwise, technique is everything! The effortless splitting from some very awkward angles speaks loudly that Paul has technique and practice to make it a sure thing when most of us would struggle. I'm not given to envy, but Paul has one of the best jobs going, from my perspective! You earned a new subscriber with this video, and I in turn gain from your content. This is the core of what KZbin should be, if only there were quality sources of information like your channel.

[@4IRs0ftSergeanT]

Wow wow wow, I am really blown away about how much I just learned for life. Your teaching is sooo calm, respectful and polite, so relaxing to watch. Now its about me keeping myself in practice. Thank you so much Paul! This is how KZbin should be. Best 1:30h in my life for learning really important stuff and technique for real life. Great tipps and tricks too. I really appreciate your attention to safety and the amount of safety advise you gave, its just the most important thing outdoors. Keep it up, wish you all the best!

[@josephkauslick5034]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you both so much! I learned a lot from the wood processing, tarp setup and fire making techniques! I have a question about the guy hitch in the tarp setup. I’ve seen a similar knot in sailing and trucker’s hitch contexts. The only difference is that instead of the second wrap being parallel to the first wrap (and being closer to Paul in the video), the second wrap intersects with the first one (away from Paul in the video, with the first one between Paul and the second wrap). This helps secure the hitch while the knot is finished with the final hitch farther along the standing end. Is the parallel version a bit easier than the intersecting one for tarp setups? The intersecting one is a bit more secure for sailing and transport but I can see why it would be overkill for tarp setup. What do you think?
