Cool, can't wait to watch your new video.

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

This happened to me on a two week backpacking trip this little rodent called pikas chewed the strap on. My backpack because of the salt in my sweat I guess so I had to sew my strap back onto the bag. so I heated a fish hook in the the camp fire bent it straight smoothed it on a flat rock and used it to sew my shoulder straps back on mine and both of my friend bag he lost two. I still have the bag today. And I use the special fishing line I had was carbon fiber very very strong and thin fish line to fix our bags. We also had a freak snowstorm come in and had to sleep in a cave hahaha it was quite the adventure that test our skills and creativity. Love your show brother!

[@speedygonzales9993]

Incredible, Felix. Just bloody INCREDIBLE! 👍👍👍

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks you so much!!

[@axistec]

Felix is like MacGyver, but with wizard powers added. It's a pleasure to watch and learn your cleaver tricks and projects. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

Identifying usable plants during wintertime is a seriously great skill . Thanks again Master Felix.

[@FelixImmler]

Stining nettles are easy to identify if the seeds and sometimes are still dry leaves on the pole

[@skorzeny7377]

always a great feeling when you look at your phone and you see another felix immler video alert!

[@price48]

I think of all the bushcrafters on YT, you are my favorite Felix.

[@FelixImmler]

Wowww, thank you!

[@MMeier-rf8go]

Deine Videos sind so ein wertvoller Schatz an Wissen für mich! Vielen Dank für deine Tipps und Tricks!

[@FelixImmler]

Freut mich zu hören! Danke!

[@michaeljones5395]

Awesome idea on both storing the pre-loaded needle and thread jammed into the channel cavity of the saw blade. I am going to set mine up that way too! The natural needle and thread looks like a neat project to share with the Grand kids! Thanks for sharing!

[@FelixImmler]

Hello Michael. Thanks a lot for your compliment!

[@sw33n3yto00]

Felix, you are a treasure trove of useful skills and knowledge.

[@willikebari5478]

Lieber Felix, das liebe ich so an deinen Videos, dass du uns immer wieder zeigst, wie man sich mit einem Victorinox und dem was man in der Natur findet, auf einfache Weise helfen kann.👍👍👍 Wer weiß heute schon noch, dass Brennnesselfasern sich hervorragend als Schnüre eignen. Super, dass du dieses alte Wissen aufgreifst und weiter gibst! Danke dafür!👍👍👍 Auch wie man eine (Not-) Nadel aus den (richtigen) Dornen herstellt, weiß heutzutage kaum mehr jemand. Ganz liebe Grüße aus Wels/Oberösterreich nach St. Gallen und ein schönes Wochenende Dir und Deiner Familie!

[@vallhallamedia3161]

Having made thread from nettles before, I just want to take a moment to congratulate your brilliant handiwork you did in this video, such a well made example!

[@FelixImmler]

Wowww, your comment makes me happy. Thanks a lot!

[@andrewsackville-west1609]

Yeah, this is really nice. Such consistent nettle fiber thread! Nice job!

[@mingshey]

Great idea and skill and patience! Nice to know how to improvise in need, but it also emphasize why you had better anticipate for need and prepare things in advance.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your kind comment!

[@jonnyboat2]

You're expression at 2:18 is priceless, sort of. This is a good video. Very ingenious of you to figure out how to use what's available to solve a problem.

Thank you so much!

[@kenmckittrick7876]

Hello from Central New York, USA. Felix I LOVE your video's. You are always coming up with stuff that other KZbinr's never even think about. I ALWAYS look forward to your video's. in Fact, I bought 5 more Swiss Army knives and various accessory kits to make my Swiss Army knives better. Keep up the good work.

[@FelixImmler]

Hello ken. i appreciate your comment very much. Thanks for this wonderful compliment!!!!

[@BCJerbs]

Your patience and skill with making that cordage with the stinging nettle is something else I tell you Mr.Felix...i need and want to learn that skill of making that! So so awesome! Thank you again! Cheers, Jerbs 👏🤓

[@FelixImmler]

Hi Jeremy... that's easy to learn...kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmSskJiimpuIo9U

[@BCJerbs]

@@FelixImmler I have an abundance of cedars and did make some with the inner barks...but I would love to try the stinging nettle as that is alot my fine and needs more skill!

[@SimpleEarthSelfReliance]

Well said. I think the cordage is best made "before needed", at a campfire while sipping on a beer or whiskey. Then keep in storage, more or less like charred cloth, made before the time. I don't think I have the patience to do it on the spot 🥸

[@Aco747lyte]

I've used one of my SAKs to do just what you demonstrated. These multitools are incredibly versatile; I don't know what I'd have done without mine. Many thanks Felix. Again, you raise the banner for these fantastic SAKs! What you did was just awesome! Best of all you inspire us to get the very best out of this gear. Stay safe, buddy! *Hugs* Wendi

[@FelixImmler]

Wowww, you comment makes me happy! Thank you Wendi

[@Aco747lyte]

@@FelixImmler Most of these 'skinny' barks are flammable: beech, silver birch and even maple tree sap being surprisingly flammable! Most interesting is the thin bark of the Arolla pine, and a plant botanically named 'Acacia species'. Molly said even bamboo, and she also said another plant - Broom whose botanical name of Cytisus - also is flammable.

[@pinkpaprika8410]

This is great! Besides this, you can make all the basic textile tools with the Swiss Army Knife: a drop spindle, a distaff, a weaving loom, shuttles, a braiding fork, and much more…

[@clintonroushff7068]

This looks beyond what my patience will allow. Lol Take care Felix

[@maxneyasit8130]

As a scraper, the butt of the saw works very well. Moreover, the knife may not be very sharp, and then it does not work well as a scraper. Thanks for the video and helpful information👍👍👍

[@PabloGuillermo]

Un vídeo con ideas originales muy buenas y útiles, felicitaciones y saludos Felix

[@mistastabs5840]

Outstand! Another great video Sir... The natural thread won't last but might get you home, but it's a great example if you have to improvise.

[@SimpleEarthSelfReliance]

Fantastic Felix. This is real bushcraft, doing useful things that really happens out there. I don't have nettles, but I think maybe sunn hemp or hemp would work for the fibres? mmmm - keep posting! Love your stuff.

[@FelixImmler]

Yes of course.... there are a lot of different fibres which works too

Amazing Felix...you are very knowlwdgable and very skilled as none of that was "easy". You have greatly raised the profile of the already acknowledged Swiss Army Knife in the bushcraft/survival community. I never leave home without one and haven't done so for more than 30 years. In fact when I have to give it up, when boarding a plane for example, I feel worse than naked...I feel helpless:-)
