@@Trad. i do
@@madmaster3d okay, mate.
I am a true outdoor survivalist, and I have learned a lot of things, even though I am only a teenager, but you never cease to make me learn something new
Thank you lots for this content. If I ever get stranded, or ww3 breaks out these tips will be helpful!
I've been watching survival, prepping, and Bushcraft videos for years but this is the first video that actually showed where to harvest fatwood. I'm about to collect a ton of it tomorrow lol thanks
if you watch him more, you find yourself collecting pine sap and birch bark.
@@jenniferg6818 I have so many pine cones for torches I finally started feeding the damn squirrels 😂 🐿️ 🎍
Learning more in 5 min w this channel... Awesome
The sock lint trick is genius!!!
Just make sure it's not wool.
Polyester is basically woven petroleum.
Hi
Great video! Especially the beginning section on using pine sap and fat-wood as fire starters.
An avid camper and carpenter my whole life (turning 60 years old today), I’ve experienced pine sap in a campfire being entertainingly brilliant when it catches and pops in the fire. Yet I’ve never seeked it out intentionally as a fire-starter. But I’ve never really needed to, not being in a survival situation in any of my camping adventures. (Yet)
Plus, living in Hawaii for decades where pine trees don’t grow, my pine sap days were a distant memory.
Now I’m back in the Pacific Northwest, back in the beautiful and fragrant pine forests. I look at them differently now and watch videos like yours as to how I’d start an emergency fire in the rain? That was always a challenge in Hawaii but not necessary for warmth so giving up was an easy option. Here, giving up means freezing to death.
My first year back in the north woods, I had a wood-burning stove and bought fire wood that came with a baggie of “sap wood” as a fire starter. Interesting. I wondered where they got the sap-wood? Was it a special tree? A special part of a special tree? I didn’t know. Working now in the tug and barge shipping industry, our raw dunnage comes as grade-3, 4x6’s undried, full of sap, and a carpenter’s nightmare. Twisted and full of knots and bark, it’s not something you’d build a house with, but basically disposable and works fine for dunnage. And here the mystery of the sap-wood was solved. I have literally tons of it now. Grade-3 lumber is from the outer most parts of the pine tree. This is where sap-wood comes from. Every pine tree has it in them. How convenient. I save all the cutoffs and especially the hardened sap and sapwood for camping with guys from work who grew up here and nothing beats pine sap as a natural fire starter in the notoriously rainy northwest.
I always have a way to start a fire way easier than just a spark from a flint, but I find lately that very unsatisfying and almost like cheating. It’s way more fun to start a fire the hard way. A ferro-rod spark aimed at some sock lint and ground dried pine sap takes work, the wind is a pain in the ass, gotta get some dry tinder, but once that spark turns to flame, you EARNED that fire.
Thanks for showing survival tips hardly anyone would use these days unless they actually needed them and found themselves totally helpless. It’s always good to practice survival techniques when you don’t actually need them. That way you’re ready when you do.
Absolutely right!. Agree!!
I learned some bushcraft in my younger years. Since moving out to the Country I've learned much more, there's much more to learn to succeed in the Country than the city. One thing is important; when someone gives you advice, even if it's 12 year old kid, listen and learn!
I’ve been watching these type of videos for years & never saw like 90% of these tips.
Great stuff!
Awesome video , love the stuff has come in handy several time.
I’m currently prepping for when SHTF this year and beyond but I just found your channel 🎉😮really amazing and simple straightforward advice with minimal tools. Yes 🙌🏾 teach me how to use the environment around me 🤌🏾
Step one for when SHTF, don't be a wiccan lol. Jk just pickin on ya
I did not know the tips about the Bick lighter, I am smarter now than I was five minutes ago. Great video, right to the point, no BS, crystal clear, spot on. Thank you so much.
I absolutely love your channel TY for sharing.
Thank you for this inspiring, informative video! You take the fear factor way down for anybody who uses this knowledge!
New to bushcraft. I found this video very informative and helpful. I will definitely apply what I’ve learned from it. Thank you for taking the time to record, edit and upload it!
Bro im not a survivalist but i enjoy the content but you really show practical ways to survive in a real situation that could save a life. The sock with the broken lighter was amazing.
Very cool video. I need to try some of these
Thanks! For sure
Lovely, natural pine scent 😍
Smells great 👍
I'm no outdoor rookie and can say your tips are the best I've heard in years
If I ever get lost in the woods I am going to make sure I’m with you 😘
With the way things are going in the USA I got myself looking at survival videos, never know when ill come in handy
I dunno how i missed you all this time but I've found you now. Excellent information.
The amazing content never ends 👏👏
Informative and beneficial video
Thank you glad you enjoyed 👍
@@WoodsboundOutdoors we all enjoy :)
Very impressive demo, they are great helpful for bushcrafters in woods.
Thank you for sharing your awesome knowledge I appreciate.
Exceptional, thanks.
Hello 🤗👋
I really appreciate this channel.❤️
Glad to hear!
Priceless tips. Thank you!
I have no bum so taking off me belt is quite a predicament
😂😂
😂
😂
😂😂
Well if you were a Lady I'd suggest a BBL 👍 LMAO
Thanks!
Love your videos. Straight forward and explained well. Like to more...
A lot of these we learned just growing up in National Forest land, heavy forest (well, until the Dixie Fire). But I never learned the stealth fire trick before! Thank you!
This is teaching me more than years of boys scouts in 10 minutes
Living in a Mountain Town in Northern California, we were sent out as children tocookect the large sap covered pine cones for our mothers to use for lighting the wood stove.
Great video 👍👍👍
Thanks!
You teach skills I've never seen on other channels, and I watch many. Thanks for a your videos and hope you continue to make them.
I follow 7 or 8 of this type of channel. I think this one is my favorite. Good info, explained simply, and not in a hyperactive way like some of the other channels.
i like his voice.
Well you motivated me to start storing sap. And now i can quickly start doing the same stuff. By mimicry from learning from you 👌🏻
Clear, short, useful, realistic. That equals excellent.
Man. Thank you for the information. You make great straight to the point informative videos.
I have to admit I learned a lot thank you
I feel obliged to caution you to be careful with those Dakota fire pits! Be sure you are not in peat or muskeg; clay-based soils are a better choice, or even more sand-based. Peat and muskeg can be ignited by the fire and continue to smolder after burying it, spreading sub-surface and potentially spawning forest fires in different places. We have this issue where I live in Alberta, Canada, so check BEFORE you set the fire to prevent a nightmare. Near to our area, someone tried a simple camp fire on what they didn't know was muskeg. The coals ignited the sub-surface layer. The water used by the camper did not get everything and it spread slowly and secretly beyond the camp fire centre. It took around 8 months of frequent fire department responses before it was declared "extinguished". I would rather camp cold for a night than risk it. Lots of other solid info here. Thanks for reminding me of techniques I had forgotten. Cheers.
These are great tips and skills! Thank you for sharing! Just subscribed 👏
The extended pine tree info was great stuff ! Watch this folks ,, two tricks I've never seen .
Nice man. I'd like to see longer video's.
I like this channel.. it helps thankyou sir outdoors!
oh ya found my new survival channel. cheers dude!
Knowledge worth learning 😊
Very true, carry wood with one hand and hold your pants up with the other.
😂
Very valuable,Thanks!
I liked the video so when we have apocalypse I’ll rewatch it. Im so ready
This is a REALLY well made video, you've put a LOT of work into the content and presentation, thank you 👍
It's a real pity that 99% of your uploads are shorts 😕 I can see from the view numbers that it's really working for you tho'...
Thank you! I'm gonna start putting out more longer form videos.. that was the original plan, but for whatever reason the shorts get a lot more attention
Instant sub. This wad a great, compact useful guide. I had no idea sap was so useful to be even used as a makeshift bandaid!
Great tips! Thank you!
Excellent info. Thank You.☕🤔
Pine sap/resin can also be used as a temporary tooth filling and as a primitive glue especially if you mix charcoal or animal dung into it to reduce the brittleness of the set product 😉👍🏻😎
I could smell that candle through my screen
ive always used birch bark to start fires just cause i thought it burnt well! cool to see it on this list
Off-topic here, big fella, but I was wondering what's your preferred knife and axe sharpening equipment and techniques?
Fab video. Big thanks.
Lots of good advice. Thank You. 🎯 6:53
Love the channel. Its amazing how something simple you take for granted becomes the difference in life or death situations. Showing that there's many ways to make fire is extremely useful. What do you use in a more swampy area?
Thanks so
Much...great tips
I love all the info and I'm so glad I subscribed 🎉 My husband is a trucker too.
Lovely video sir. no BS just pure good information...not as easy as it seems. Subbed and belled and thank you again.
Great video. I never new pine could do so much. Few more tricks now in the bag. Good man
Don't fill the hole with dirt to put the fire out it can defently still burn and start a forest fire make sure the fire is out first
I never thought of using a sock for s fire starter, great idea
For a water filter, I wrap a paper filter for coffee around the intake screen of my First Needs water PURIFIER. Merely filtering and boiling water doesn’t purify the water. Those procedures do help, though. But one drop of contaminated water is all it takes to turn our digestive track inside out - on both ends.

I happened to pick up some Melitta coffee filters (non-core ones) on clearance last year and now I'm a loyal convert. They don't break apart like all the other ones I've used before. Especially when giving them a little squeeze (when filtering things other than coffee).
10 mins on pine good stuff pine trees all around me
One tip I have heard about is using melted pine resin and wood ashes. Mix them together and when it’s cooled down it makes a very hard material much like half-and-half resins and Hardener. You can use it to coat holes much better than just coating the holes with resin. I heard that Indians would use it to bind arrowheads to shafts and feathers to shafts. Have you tried it? If so what’s the best ratio?
All very good tips!
Finally a tinder I want to hear about
I've seen a few videos on this channel. Still I wonder if' Alfie Athestic' is back after all these years. Same content. If not, this guy is doing a great job. Keep it simple and effective. 2👍's up.
Good video man thank you
because of you, i wander and collext pine sap and birch bark. thanks
Disagree with everyone on Dakota fire hole. If I wanted a stealth fire, I'd use the hole between as a CHIMNEY and the fire hole would be a DOWN-draft. All flames and sparks are drawn sideways into your chimney. The way EVERY RUclipsr in the world describes the Dakota Fire Pit is backwards. You don't want air blowing on your fire and UP the fire hole. You want a down draft or a side draft.
So I'd do the opposite. I'd make the fire hole UP-wind and the hole YOU use as air intake, I would use as my chimney. Slant the connecting hole down towards the fire hole from the exhaust/chimney hole. For best stealth, start the side hole a few or several inches below the top of the exhaust/chimney hole, so you catch the stray sparks that make it all the way through the side hole, which is a pretty straight path. You want to catch that wild spark on the far wall of the vertical chimney part.
Sparks DO make it all the way, sometimes if the fire gets a little too big and it starts to rocket.
Try to think of it as a J-tube rocket stove. As it heats up the chimney, it will burn cleaner and hotter. But it's already burning pretty clean, because you build a very small fire right at/in the mouth of the slanted chimney pipe. If it's no wind or your exhaust is downwind, ALL the smoke will go up the chimney, and as soon as it's drawing, with or without wind, it's breathing really well. If you build it just right and feed it enough fuel, it'll make the classic rocket sound, but damped by the ground and directed upward, so you wouldn't hear it from any distance.
Meanwhile, you make the main vertical fire hole much bigger. You'll be sitting on the rim, with your feet in the hole. Very comfy. Warm, but the flames are all being pulled AWAY from you. And the ground between the two holes will be warm and stay warm 'til morning. Perfect for a bedroll. Also a great way to have a fire under a plastic tarp, because zero flame or sparks can escape the trap you built.
I've always just roasted meat or veggies on a stick, directly over the flames. I've never seen how quick it'll boil water over the chimney. I didn't rig a tripod or bring a grate.
Anyway, it's ridiculous to build an up-draft fire pit if you're trying to be stealth. Those always send sparks straight up in the air, like a signpost. My way, it doesn't even glow, except the reflection of the face of the operator. So keep your heads down, kids!
For a water filter, I wrap a paper filter for coffee around the intake screen of my 7:58 water PURIFIER. Merely filtering and boiling water doesn’t purify the water. Those procedures do help, though. But one drop of contaminated water is all it takes to turn our digestive track inside out - on both ends.

Do you know how your purifier works? It filters with charcoal and a screen. His method should work equally well, all things considered.
Ive used cattail fluff as insulation. Works well but a mess to get out of clothes. Dried dead grass is good too.
😎 thank you
Amazing!!
Very informative video
Genius!!!
Oh man the devs really went into detail in regards to the world building
nice video man ty
Good Information Sir
Dude, I’m a new sub. You’re effn amazing! Great content!
Cool vid. Last tip was bad, ur gonna use up your flint
Found you on TikTok and love your videos!! Keep up the great work!!
Any suggestions for knifes for bushcraft?
I collect knives etc, and I bought some $5 knives at walmart that i love. Durable, good blade, rugged, cool retro andle, $5. Also gerber mini hatchet for $40. I went big on Fiskars this year too, and I am very impressed.
Thanks
it is very useful
I just subscribed to your channel; I’ve been looking for practical advice, but all I’ve been seeing from other channels are wanna-be Rambo’s & slightly 🦇💩crazy doomsday preppers that just ramble on and never get to the point.
Your videos are concise, informative, interesting, & I’ve learned new stuff that I’ve never seen rehashed on all the other channels…& while I’ll never hunt an animal, I respect your catch & eat perspective of Nature.
Liked it
Didn't expect to use a sock that way.
What's the blade your using in this video
Ka Bar Mark I
I have use bruce sap with vaselin for cuts.
around here you can hardly find any fatwood or resin except in red pines. white pine dead limbs won't have it nor does white pines excrete resin to any amount. But I know where plenty of red pine are.
white pine has it.
I like the idea of the stealth fire, but I would worry about setting roots on fire by accident. I've heard that after lightning strikes and forest fires smoldering roots can burn underground, leading to aftershock fires. Ever hear of this happening?
i set my forest on fire by tapping out a bowl on top. Came back that night and roots were burning underground.
you had me at dakota fire hole
See Mark 1 ka-bar,hit play button! Mark 1 is the reason I spent 500$ to get the TRC Mille Cuori. Its not as comfortable neither more practical than the kabar,however, the performance and the quality, is x times better,as their price difference.
