    Wazaaaa!:) So the Primitive Knife I'm using is a really special one! Self-forged from a piece of scrap steel found at the riverside, with just stone tools. Check out the Primitive Forging video together with craftsman Felix Immler here >>> ruclips.net/video/-I96PM-8uaA/видео.html

      In the rain as long as you already have fire, it's smart. Keeps the wet from the ground from soaking you that would be sapping your body heat, as well as providing a basic insulation layer. You get as much cold off the ground as the air around you

    • @jesse7300
      @jesse7300 3 года назад

      And yet it is not. For many of us Fins tarp is just waste of space/something extra to carry. It's useful ofc, but you can build "Laavu" = 'lean-to shelter'. You can just use branches or moss, grass or hay etc. to make it good enough. Tarp would be ideal to make it waterproof fast but far from needed

    • @jesse7300
      @jesse7300 3 года назад

      Tarp was designed for that lean-to shelter to make it waterproof faster, tarp is not needed for that shelter and imho useless. I'm from Finland and summer nights can go below zero celsius and winters around -40C and F. Have been out there in both conditions, also in warm summer nights, best is lean-to 'laavu in fin' shelter.

    Im loving the solo videos a lot more than I expected. Plus you keep cracking me up with your clumsiness please keep showing it in the videos :D.
    Keep up the great videos and 'taking care about nature' as you put it, good to inform the people watching about the big ''no noes'' of survival.

    16:06 they dont kill birch. That brown is a inner bark of birch, Phloem is just a innermost layer of bark. White part of birchbark is just for protection from sunrays in early spring. Birch cant warm so fast, fluids dont move from roots, and during cold night they dont freez. And under that white birch bark is another layer of standart bark.

      It can even be scary lonley if you know you are the only human being in 10-50 miles radius.
      In some areas the bear density is up to 1 bear per 10 sqkm (that makes around 80 bears in an area with a 10 mile radius).
      I have never had any encounters with bears though (I would like to see a bear in nature sometime....but in distance...).

    Whenever I settle for a lean to type shelter I like to bring along something for a counter slope if the rain is coming in the opposite direction. A narrow strip that can be affixed to the top as an awning when sitting, or halfway down the back slope and draped over the body when laying down. I realize most of your videos are based upon the premise of not planning for anything more than a hike in the woods (this no food, fire starting materials except maybe a ferorod, and no shelter material ) but even a rain poncho can be used as a counter slope

    Have you heard of the Rabbit Stick gathering in Idaho, USA? It is near my home. The people there are awesome. It is hosted by Dave Wescott. He is quite famous and has even been involved training people like Bear Grylls in making a plow fire and such. If you could come for the gathering it would be fantastic! It would be easy for me to help with getting you transport and housing as i am a university professor. Look up the gathering and the host and please think of coming for a visit to Idaho. You could also take advantage of your time here with other trips to Yellowstone Park or the Teton Mountains, or the great rivers of Idaho. And you could speak in University classes as a guest!

    I think the birch with the bark cut all the way around it was a forced kill to provide a dead standing tree for creatures to make homes in and possibly even chaga

      @@icewallowcomereet9058 if you remove the bark all around the tree it will die, it uses the bark to transport sugars from the leaves down to the roots both to feed the roots and for storage.
      that tree will now die.
      you should do some research on ringbarking yourself

      That process is called girdling and it is done on purpose sometimes in managed forests. Yes the tree will die standing. It's done just to create better habitats for birds and insects. It doesn't seem to be done on purpose for this reason in this case though.

      @@user-tr2dh4xx6u the issue isnt that one tree will die, the issue is that bushcrafting is often done as a way to appreciate and learn about nature
      It is a shame that a bushcrafting group shows so little knowledge or care that they ringbark or girdle trees rather than take surface bark or bark from standing dead or fallen trees, or even the trees that they used as benches which still had fully intact bark

      Not really ... imagine a tree trunk is like your arm, except 95% of the mass is your bone and all your bloods supply is right under the first few layers of your skin. Cut too deeply (and that’s measured in millimeters) and all the way around and everything from that point to your hand eventually will die.
      My dad keep an apple tree alive and fruiting for 20years with only a hand-width of love bark still attached to the roots. In the end the entire trunk was rotted away and turned into a ants nest and only a single branch bore fruit every other year, but those were the most perfect and sweet apples I had every had
