This is a compilation of all of my survival/bushcraft tips from the past year! Working on some new ones now for 2024 👍🏻

[@johnsanchez6411]

Can you please do a cover on all edible wild plants

[@susanp.collins7834]

I think this is such a super video! I particularly like the tip for setting up the tarp by pulling it out of your bag bit by bit.

[@Gas_Station_Tampons]

@@johnsanchez6411 in which region, country, continent, etc? vegetation varies considerably from place to place. you might be better off buying a book on that topic from your own local region. most outdoors shops will carry such local literature.

[@kevinAuman1]

Hey, what knife is that at @23:06? I quite like the looks of it

[@mrhalfstep]

On kindling and tender gathering, Uncle Bill taught me at a very young age that "If it don't snap, it's crap". I've remembered that for 6 decades because getting to say "crap", as an 8YO, was a big deal, 60 years ago. LOL!

[@keithmyfurnaceguy]

Luke the outdoorsman. First a foremost this is a wholesome channel. Real life challenges met with enthusiasm, persistence and completely appropriate for anyone. Luke takes us places, he lives responsibly off of the land and is a steward for this planet showing us species of birds, mammals, fish as well as a love for cooking and eating. He's survived at great risk for the entertainment of all who watch. I love he takes survival casually. He doesn't preach but recommends trying new things safely and responsibly.

[@guyhallam5023]

I've been bushcrafting for about 40 years mostly in South africa ,and uk ,I've watched countless videos on the subject, too many American ones and am glad to see a straightforward, well edited comprehensive video that covers the basics for not only experienced bushcrafters but anybody wishing to enjoy the outdoors in this way ,enjoyable to watch ,keep it up and best wishes for 2024

[@ICRUXZI]

What is bushcrafting like in the UK? I'm from the UK myself and have recently taken a huge liking to anything primitive/survival related but I feel the UK is so boring and restricted with what you can do/eat in the wild or is it not as restricted as I'm thinking? Maybe I just don't know the right spots 😂

[@ghostpotato8041]

​@@ICRUXZIYeah Ive been bushacrafting in the UK for a little while now and it kinda sucks with restrictions lol. If you find a remote patch of woodland that not many people come through then you can kind of get away with some stuff. Same with wild edibles and things of the like. As long as you leave no trace of it happening you'll probably be fine lol.

[@maxsparks5183]

So what’s your complaint with American videos?

[@tomioka8405]

@@maxsparks5183Americans annoying

[@ICRUXZI]

@@maxsparks5183 the thing is US people teaching survival craft is no good for us over here in the uk, 2 completely different countries with completely different wildlife and vegetation

[@Emkay.18]

The only best entertainment on KZbin, you deserve million likes

[@blakejohn8374]

😂

[@randomshittutorials]

your sentence formulation alone is worth more tho

[@Jameskeith1972]

I agree. This is my favorite form of KZbin content and entertainment. Educational and inspiring! Thank you!

[@Cursedzeba]

I found gathering up wet twigs can be useful if you put them by a fire to dry and use later. Also just gathering them to keep in your basecamp if you have one set up in the woods is good for later use too

[@susanp.collins7834]

I carry a folded up paper flour bag. 2 actually; a 1kg one and a 2.5kg one. Folded up with an elastic around them, the small one inside the big one. Great for putting tinder into and the paper wicks up the moisture. Coalcracker Bushcraft says don't put your tinder in a plastic bag. It makes it sweat.

[@utubeape]

@@susanp.collins7834 yes I had some spare chopped up wood and I thought it would be a great idea to seal them up in a plastic bag and hide them in the roots of a downed tree for next time in case it was raining. Well, coming back a month later they were wet and slimey - somehow much wetter than when I put them in there!

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

​@@susanp.collins7834 doesn't make it sweat necessarily, but it doesn't allow it to dry.

[@DimitriLambermont]

So much value in one hour. Thank you.

[@YeoYolo]

No kidding

[@josephkuser3998]

For real. No fluster no bluster. All extremely good, expedient content. Thanks for this video.

[@I.P.Freely-xn9vf]

Doing it all the hard way. Simple, minimalist, highly effective, and not for the lazy. Much love from Spokane Washington USA.

[@randomshittutorials]

I agree, knowledge is power, but not all power is knowledge. Much love from Luna Crater Petavius, The Moon.

[@MaximusTheGreat509]

Spokane mentioned 💯Spokane valley on the map 🔥 much love from AZ

[@Madonnalitta1]

That soaked silver Birch bark is truly impressive, I hadn't known that it would still light even if saturated. 😮

[@Bushlore1]

As a add on, the resinous pine mention in the beginning of the video is far more effective at wet fire lighting. You almost pour water on it while it is lit and not put it out.

[@jamesmac4447]

TA OUTDOORS IS THE REAL DEAL ! Yes sir yes mamm !👍

[@LoreTunderin]

Excellent video, had a couple of nuggets I hadn't considered before. I particularly like the tip of putting a horizontal stick under the kindling so you can raise and lower it for better air flow.

[@JAdams-qy7ii]

Without a doubt one of the best vids on the subject. Not pretentious, practical and straight to the point. Excellent. Thank you.

[@yujiroking]

I have been new to your channel for the past four or 5 months, but I really appreciate the knowledge as a newbie. Thank you

[@johnconnor8674]

Ich bin seit Jahren ein Fan dieses Kanals. Bester survival bushcraft Video Tipp Chanel 👌👍

[@gamborg88]

Awesome! This is no doubt my favorite kind of entertainment❤

[@nobodyxx560]

What I really appreciate about your channel is that it comprehensive in what you want to convey, you're not pushing prepper ideology or warning how bad we need this for imminent Communist invasion. Thanks for all the content. I'm from Washington State and our conditions are similar enough that this information is very valuable. Best for luck, can't wait to see you next year!

[@nobodyxx560]

Thanks! Just got it!@@_Waynewav

[@ajherring92]

I grew up down in Oregon and I wish he was making videos when I was a boy running rampant in the woods. I didn't learn a lot of this stuff until my mid twenties when I lived in North Carolina, but my kids will definitely know these things.

[@ryand31]

Thank you for these videos! I finally was able to get out and go winter camping. Found a campsite that was buried in 2ft of snow but still free use. I definitely struggled to get a fire going with the wood around, but then remembered some of the tips you gave for finding wood and making a bed. Worked like a charm! Appreciate you.

[@steveschofield9243]

Jack Russell nice little dog 😊

[@johnvanpolanen3589]

Excellent video with great tips ! Thanks Mike !

[@CptnSavage]

Another great video Mike. Thanks for taking the time to make this and show us all more useful tips when being out in the woods. I always learn something new and useful from your videos and different ways of doing things that I had not thought of. Have a great holiday season and take care of yourself. All the best to your and your family mate!

[@ChiefScout_Outdoors]

Thanks Mike. Great keeper vydja Will make a point to watch it every few months, then go out and practice. That’s the way to hone your skill set. Cheers fella, merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and the family. All the very best Johnny 🤩👊🌟

Great and very informative video as always. Cheers from Cape breton Canada

[@davidtoastivine707]

I have a couple of those wipes in my kit so small and yet so handy. I really like this kind of vid from you they are so useful to watch again and get tried and tested advice.

[@kachiri]

I bought a bag of those "portawipes" a while ago. Love them! They weren't called "portawipes" on my package, but is the same thing you showed. The package also came with a plastic tube to store about 10 of them, to put in your pocket or backpack, etc. I was surprised how big the sheets were when they were opened up after wetting them.

[@OutdoorGinger]

Your incredible bushcraft tips are a treasure trove! Inspiring for my cross-America trip. My bushcraft and biking channel is also influenced by your amazing content on TA Outdoors. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@CharlesHarpolek4vud]

One of the things a gaffer may be ordered to do is place a smaller generator several 100 feet from the camera to control noise but still give power to the immediate set, here you show how well prepared you are as a gaffer because you have a 2 foot rod-- ideally copper coated when they clamp on top so that you can run a small piece of wire hopefully green colored... From the generator frame to the top of your rod driven into some moist earth.. If you have a ground at the generator and and maybe off the frame of the lights tripod, then you're grounded on both ends for terrific safety, Are you sure the guy who hires crew see that you carry these little rods. Careful friend I know and eating his drumstick lines and to save junk on the set he took the bone into his toolkit on his belt. Very impressive the next set required some chicken bones on a plate in front of an actor. My friend whipped out the bones from his kit and was a hero saving the hours of some helper driving around finding chicken bones. gaffers can't win like that all the time but they better have a roll of gaffers tape on their tool belt. If you like to brown nose as a little helper on the movie set,

[@heavymetalfan001]

A very well made video. I really enjoyed the information in preparation for when the SHTF.

1 a minute ... I can dig it. Well done. Subscribed, bell rung, commented, upvoted, liked, shared .... may the algorithm gods smile favorably upon your channel.

[@richardbinell2053]

I like glow in the dark paracord. All things being equal, it has an added benefit that just might matter. Thanks for sharing.

[@TruthFreedom1776]

I'm surprised at how much really great and useful information is contained within this video. I'm in the US so we don't have some of the species of plants or grasses that you guys have I assume you're in the UK but the rest of the information even for well for anyone in the world is useful. Thanks for all the great information. You are very knowledgeable.

[@jaymeswheeler]

You have got to get together with Bushcraft tools again to help him repair his demolished camp You two mates deserve a reunion and he definitely needs your craftsmanship right now Much love cheers from Utah

[@rustindudley3564]

Its great when you make videos like this, because i can just send them to people who i know want to get into doing more things outside. The gap of knowledge that keeps alot of people from experiencing the outdoors gets smaller with every video you make

[@user-vb4wq9ye1x]

Hi, I actually never saw a such concentration of good advices , It's so dense that I will need to see it many times, thanks a lot and take care

I can't remember the last you tube video I watched completely from start to finish without skipping... of course I know all this stuff already 😂... but nearly an hour packed full of info was awesome to watch. Thank you.

I live in Washington state West coast, near mount Rainer, what yur teaching here is very useful, thanks☔

[@Midlife-Bikeist]

Great info, alot to take in. Im planning on doing moto camping and bushcraft this year. Do you or anyone in the community have any advice on finding land where i can camp and practice (whilst respecting the land) bushcraft and survival. Im thinking of reaching out to local farms and farm shops, to speak with them about my plan to camp and if i end up vlogging from it i can cook their produce as a hat tip to their business (i would not disclose the locations). Please help

ProTip - Those compressed wipes are generally 100% cotton - and make a great source of char cloth. Waste Not, want Not.

[@brenthiteoutdoors]

Nice video...I am from Arkansas USA!

Only 20 mins in and loving it, while browsing for portawipes!

[@DeeDurand-wm4sf]

Very good video , thank you from dee in shoshone Wyoming u.s.a. God is wonderful...blessings from a new sub....

[@shell_gone_awol]

Saved into my useful camping tips playlist. I've learnt so many amazing tips from this video that amazed me especially turning the hammock or tarp into a more discreet bivvy setup & the different types of kindling & upside down fire. These kinds of tips can potentially save a life. I definitely need treat myself to an axe, bushcraft knife, etc & give these a go, already got the tarp.

[@StevenKeery]

Shell_gone_awol: You can buy a Mora Companion knife for about £/$15 , very sharp and sturdy and a Husqvarna hatchet for about £/$15, again very sharp and sturdy. Tie some orange paracord through the handles, so you don't leave them behind on the forest floor. Both will last you for years and are cheap enough that if you do lose one, you can easily buy another.

[@isshinryu11]

Great video! Why choose dry wood facing upwards and wet wood facing the fire/downwards to start a wet fire? Oh I see now top down burn.

[@user-jt3fq3jv1e]

Definitely going on my watch list. That way I have easy access to it when Im out there on my travels. Knowledge is power when it comes to Bush crafting and surviving in the wild. I plan on leaving the city life this summer n traveling the US via national trails. I'm 100% city boy everything will be new to me and I'm no longer a young man so I thank u for teaching me something new
