- It's summer so it's hot! If you're recreating outdoors, carrying items on your person for survival is key. The 3 items that I discuss in this video can keep you alive when it counts. Just remember that gear alone isn't everything. You also need the skills.
I agree with you 💯. Put in the dirt time... learn your gear... skills are the lightest gear you can carry!
💯
In order to make any fire work you need to understand the fire triangle. Matches, lighter, ferro rod are all just ignition sources aka 'heat'. You could go with a titanium single wall water bottle to reduce weight even more. Aluminium can melt on open fire. But I agree these are the most important items for a stay in the bush. To prevent from getting lost in the first place or getting found quickly when lost I suggest a compass and a loud whistle.
I have a whole playlist on fire where I discuss the fire triangle. That's why I suggested a lighter or matches over a ferro rod. Instent flame is much easier for someone that doesn't have a great understanding of tinder (fuel).
@@theaveragewoodsman6002 For sure an open flame (heat) is much more forgiving when it comes to tinder (fuel) and I sure won't use a ferro rod to light my cigar. So a lighter and matches are good for someone with little knowledge. But for survival I teach the difficult parts because knowledge and practice are the best survival tools.
@@StevanOutdoor agreed.
Adding a 3-5 ounce compass could be very useful.

Thanks for the comment.
So true. I would ad a SAK, it covers so much bases at once. I have mine since 1992, it was always a trusted piece of gear that never failed me.
An SAK is one of the best cutting tools that can be carried.
Thank you for choosing and encouraging these 3.
Ranger Survival of Pathfinder recently put out a video choosing blade, container and cordage. His content is great but THAT list was horrible IMHO. He's among the greats but that one was a mistake. I can make cordage way easier than fire.
My list in order:
Fire
Knife
Container
Cover
Cordage
Light
Cloth
Agreed. It's much harder to make a usable container or knife off the landscape than it is cordage.
I personally would add a 6’ piece of cordage so you easily make an emergency style debris shelter.
Other than that, solid video!
Good video thanks
Thanks for the comment.
Good Presentation
Thank you!
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your flying saucer is producing humming sounds. ^^

@@theaveragewoodsman6002 Fun aside, there is something wrong with the audio.
@@Kivas_Fajo those are the cicadas in the background. I can't do anything about them.

The secret 😂 5 C's. Cash, Credit Card, Cell Phone, Charger, and a contact who knows your plans.
The new 5 C's of Survivability 😂
I’m waiting for someone to to a video for people who don’t wear cargo pants everyday. I wear a suit 6 days a week.
I'm not wearing camo pants in the video, and I don't every day. I work in an office.
"Down and Dirty" is right. Excellent information, 5/5. Way too much hand gesticulation 1/5. Pretty poor camera coverage, couldn't see half of what you were doing 2/5. Awesome sound quality 5/5. The scripting could be improved, a lot of repetitive statements 2/5. I like your tone and delivery 5/5. I'm now a subscriber and look forward to new and improved videos!
Thanks for the input.
My grandson says he feels like he is cheating when he uses a lighter or matches. A good knife and it really does need to be a fixed blade knife . I’m not a big fan of Tom Brown trackers just not my cup of tea.
Instant flame does make it a lot easier. I'm still testing it, so I'm not sure how much I like it as of yet. It's definitely not my style of blade either.
Skills trumps gear everytime. You can give an individual a backpack full of survival gear and they would give up within a week max (hot or cold).
Yup, without the skills, it doesn't matter how much gear you're carrying.
Cellphone.
Agreed.
