I challenge you to create a video about Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) and it's many uses (tea, cordage, spinach, salad, medical aspects, nettle leach (fertilizer) and more). Would love to see you try some of this yourself. Your teaching skills are frigging awesome. :-D
awesome video as always, if your ever in the north east i will love to come out with you to do some bushcraft , ive pass to ray mears courses the fundamental and the joumeymans one
Mike, a fun survival recipe would be making Bannock (pan bread) from found grain/carbohydrates. Do you have Cat-tails or a large amount of grass seeds available? "The Daily Grind" comes from this old world activity.
In the UK and Europe the distress signal is 6 blasts on a whistle repeated every minute, the response is 3 whistle blasts to let the person asking for help know someone has heard. However, what tends to happen is once the person needing help hears the 3 blasts they think helps is on the way and stop the whistles. This makes it harder for the rescue team to use the sound to locate them especially in poor visibility so if you do need help don’t stop blowing the whistle until rescuers are with you.
@@markcummings6856 that’s clearly untrue as it’s 6 in the U.K. and you can check with any U.K. Mountain Rescue website. Europe too so not ‘world universal’. I was pointing this out to avoid confusion in the U.K. as, and I’m guessing here, most viewers are in the U.K. 3 whistle blasts are used in the US and there is a generally accepted ‘rule of 3’ for visual signals eg 3 cairns, 3 fires, 3 Xs etc placed in a triangle but no ‘world universal’ 3 whistle blasts. Always willing to learn so please show me what your source is for the ‘world universal’?
I love this man I have bever in my life been camping and I honestly wish I get to go one day. All his tips and outdoor time make me yearn for nature even more. Thanks mate:)
Never been camping?! Wow that kinda hurts me to hear that! I really to hope u go one day! Do it before you to old! Enjoy it! Mother Nature is ignored far to much these days!
@@SnailHatan the forest laws in my country are extremely strict. Patches of woodland are pretty much impossible to buy. There are forests here but all of them have been converted to national parks and camping isn’t allowed:(
That Douglas Fir must have been relatively young. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of those in the US Pacific Northwest region (Oregon and Washington) and up into western Canada. The mature trees have very rough, thick bark and you’d be hard pressed to find those blisters.
Fortunately many of the plants and such you use/mention are also found here in Texas, I've learned much from your page and enjoy the content you create. Keep up the good work

6:20 I like to use a length of braided jute twine soaked in wax, with a piece of copper tube at the end. When you fluff up the end it lights with a ferro rod. Use the tube to regulate the flame or put it out. Cheap to make, waterproof and light weight.
The bestgrasses to use as a whistle are the wide , fuzzy blades of grass, the wider and fuzzier the louder the sound. Crabgrass blades seem to work best.
Respect sent to a gent who correctly pronounces Ferrocerium. I'm not a bushcrafter , but this old woodsman and hunter admires this tutorial very much . Thank You and all the best.
Thank you for not encouraging people to go hacking up tree trunks, I see a lot of that in my area and often the tree rots away from the scars. Also, the "whistle" is very impractical since it requires two hands to used, in which case you might as well just learn to whistle with your fingers since it would be much louder, more reliable and doesn't require being near grass. Better yet, carry an actual whistle which you can use even if your hands or arms are damaged and is a very energy efficient signal.
I just carry an emergency air horn. It doesn't take up much room in my back pack and I can always find some way to activate it even if my hands are incapacitated. It has saved my life on many occasions.
Did you get these tips from watching Ray Mears? He has shown all of these skills in his older videos from like, 20 years or more ago. Great guy. If I were to get lost on any continent on the planet, he would know how to survive with pretty much nothing, so I would definitely rather be with him while lost than anyone else alive today. I still go back and watch his bushcraft videos yearly.
very much liked the long grass reed whistle and was taught to use this as a baiting techniques for coyotes and wild dogs as it sounds like a small animal in distress.
As always, great 10in10 , Mike! The one specially cought my eye. The grass SOS signal. It reminded me of childhood. We as a kids did the same with grass. 🤠👍 Anyway. Great video. 👋🇱🇹
Love your tip videos, always a ton of useful information packed into a short amount of time. It's been a long time since I've heard a blade of grass used as a whistle, a very nice reminder. Thank you for continuing to make these videos, looking forward to the next one!
The grass whistle nostalgia. Lol Good note on the Morse code. I think anyone trekking into the wilderness should have basic signaling knowledge. It truly is a life saving skill. Love the content man keep it up.
Funny, I just watched another short video where you make a whistle out of a tiny branch by removing the outer bark. I was watching this and thought.... Why not just whistle with a grass leaf? I learned this in Holland, I grew up on a farm 😄 Thanks for sharing these videos, awesome tips!
Many great Survivor tips I love all your videos you have such extreme knowledge of plants and your surroundings , I enjoy the knowledge of the medicinal and edible plants. I'd like to learn about mushrooms if you know mushrooms can you start sharing some knowledge on those as well. Love your Channel take care.
my buddy cut himself once while we were Backcountry camping. used the balsam fir sap as a test. half way through the day we checked on his wound. It has looked like it was already healing. either way it worked really well.
the douglas resin is also pretty tasty and full of vitamin c ;) and the grass whistle can also be used to lure in roe bucks or does (if its the right time)
Oh snap, you know Felix!! That's cool, he's such an educated and nice man. Great choice of friends 👍 And this video was very informative. Thank you buddy✌️
You should be an Expert, cause your I'm Trees all the Time. I watch this and im glad you did this informative video cause , well you and Dad are surrounded by trees in every video 😎 Us in the Deserts don't have a tree for miles and miles around, just sand and Rocks.
I have two scented geraniums that I have wintered over for many years. They are about 6 feet tall now. One is a Lemon Geranium and smells and tastes like fake lemon candy or fruit loops. The other is a peppermint geranium. Both you can eat the leaves and flowers. You can dry the leaves and make lemon or peppermint tea or cookies.
Try splitting the blade of grass. Don't use the part with the center vain or remove it. Have the strait center piece facing you. I find doing that make a better grass whistle.
Just so everybody watching this his understanding that using a blade of grass as a distress signal even if you use the SOS pattern of sound you are still making a high-pitched sound that will attract any predator type animals to your exact location like ringing a dinner bell FYI.
However, you can definitely still utilize this method as a louder whistle even if you don't know how to whistle. As well as if you're trying to attract those Predators so that you can dispatch them and take their fur for your own Survival through the winter for clothing
a brilliant knowledge of the world around you. Thank you for the education. i have learned more than i ever thought i would from your channel. God Bless You and your family 🙏👌👍☮️🌼🦋💜🦋🌼
Anyone know a good channel in the American southeast? I love this day and we’ll keep watching but would love similar plant info for plants that actually exist in my region
Hi Mike. Been watching TAF and your channel for ages. Thanks for the great content. Glad to see you in your woods. I believe I noticed you using a clipper lighter not a bic like all the youtubers keep recommending. I've been trying to get the message across on how much better clipers are. Refillable. Removable spark bit which can be interchanged or used by itself to ignite tinder. Replaceable flint, and I'm sure there's other benefits than those. .
Only downfalls of the Clipper is the port will sometimes leak, and if you run it too long the igniter bit can heat and loosen around the striker wheel. Clipper, Djeep, and Bic are all good. Zippos are too just higher maintenance.
Another 10 in 10 episode of Bushcraft/Survival tips! Watch more survival tip videos here: ruclips.net/p/PLxnadpeGdTxAJy5_f_-6cjrAnuWRwUf8M
Can you recommend some budget bushcraft knifes. And what type of knife are you using

What about the person who can't hear the whistle, aka me.
@@monkeymunchie9717 just keep blowing the whistle. 😂
Makes me want to get outside right now. Very motivating ,short & direct to the point. Keep up the good work 👍
Don't talk about it be about it. The only one holding you back from going out enjoying life is yourself.
What’s “outside”?
@@weirdorwhat7294 BS!! Your wife stops me from enjoying her!!
I love this man
I have bever in my life been camping and I honestly wish I get to go one day.

Why don’t you go camping?
Never been camping?! Wow that kinda hurts me to hear that! I really to hope u go one day! Do it before you to old! Enjoy it! Mother Nature is ignored far to much these days!
Glad you enjoy the videos. Try and get out camping if you are able to. You’ll never look back once you do!

Yes this is a young one. They go cork like and have orange streaks as they mature. You can see a more mature one in one of the clips in this video.

Love Felix imler thanks for mentioning him ..and I'm happy the two of you talk
I appreciate that the demo and commentary make it possible for an eager novice to understand and utilize these tips.
I really appreciate the content. Especially the 10 things in 10 minutes. Could you do a vid on essential bushcraft notches and demonstrate their uses?
The bestgrasses to use as a whistle are the wide , fuzzy blades of grass, the wider and fuzzier the louder the sound. Crabgrass blades seem to work best.
I like using acorn shells myself
@@weirdorwhat7294 acorn shells make a whistle? 🤔
Best tip was the one about Felix Immlers channel, the man is an artist with a Swiss army knife!
good to see this channel so huge!! great job TA family!
Hi Friend! Thank you very much! Have a beautiful day.🙏👍73
Dandelion tinder!! Amazing, I'm gonna use that on a future vid!
Just collect plenty of them and have tinder ready at hand. Dried Bracken, inner cedar bark or if you can, thin strips of birch bark 👍🏻
@@TAOutdoors good job they're in abundance atm! :p thankyou 👌
Best channel hands down👍
I was taught good things
Thank you😊👍
The blade of grass tOok me back over 50 years to my youth. Excellent vid.
Another great video! Maybe you could do a 10 in 10 video specific to camping like useful tips for camping in the wilderness. Love this channel!
The dandilion is also completely edible and the roots can be dried, ground and used as a flour substitute.

Except for the grass- whistling advice, which to the layman´s ear would sound like a dying mouse`s shriek, a very good video!
10:27 the dog was wondering what is wrong with my master, what is he trying to do! 😆
Thank you Mike as always!! Very informative.
Bro you are a scholar! These videos will save folks in the future

Good Job
Thanks for the tips! I love Felix’s channel too. Great content. Thanks
I learned the grass whistle as a kid. It also works to call in coyotes. Must sound like a small animal in distress, lol
The grass wistle can also be used to speak rabbits when hunting makes them sit up to attention and stay very still for several seconds
Thanks Mike for these awesome tips!! 👍😁👍😁
