I love these videos, While the rest of youtube is obsessing over supersteels and titanium handles on folders ,you show that a swiss army knife and some knowledge is all you really need to get the job done!
The obsession with super steels has to stop. It is great the tech is there and hopefully it will be more affordable some day, but the truth is, good traditional steels do the job just fine and you only get diminishing returns at this point. Our ancestors who would really depend on their knives to survive on daily basis would get by with much more irregular steel quality in their blades than we would deem acceptable today. At the end of the day, your 20 buck Mora will do any job just fine and you won't mind if it gets banged up.
@@kaiser2141 People just want to be different from the rest. Thats why you'll buy a cup and this beautiful man carved one. People who buy ultra expensive knives want just that.
Bro you a legend, you use a Swiss Army knife in ways that seem impossible like I think you could straight make a house if you wanted with just a Swiss Army knife. Good job bro
Just a little suggestion for those who are impatient - you can "dry" greenwood faster in the microwave. It's best done when you significant other isn't home, because if you go too far, its stinky. Use low heat and pause frequently (e.g. heat it up, then just let it sit a few minutes before continuing). You're basically boiling the water impregnated in the wood so it steams off. It's also not without risk - your piece may crack, especially if there are areas of varying thickness. I use this sometimes when turning wood on the lathe. In those cases I rough turn the shape, then microwave it before turning down to my final diameter. Since these bushcraft projects tend to be thicker, I think it should work ok if you're careful.
Felix you are the best content producer on how to take advantage of SAK functions, I really appreciate your work. Congratulations and thank you very much.
I watched a fantastic video on RUclips from an English maker of shrink pots about a year ago teaching how to do it but I never imagined it would be possible to do with a Swiss army knife. That was quite something.
Well done Felix, I could tell that was a hard graft, well done to both you and your camera man for sticking it out and completing the job. You are an inspiration and I never cease to be amazed at what you can achieve with the little red knife.
Wow. Das ist in diesem Jahr meine wohl persönlich beste Kanal-Entdeckung. Selten so viel gelernt rund um das Schweizer Messer. Mir war dies bis dahin nicht bewusst wie dieses Tool einem in einer vielleicht möglichen Not-Situation gute Dienste leisten kann. Alleine schon die anschaulichen Erklärungen mit den beiden zu vernähenden Musterteilen einfach klasse. Ähnlich wie bereits in dem Video wo es um das schärfen der Schere gegangen war. Eine tolle und wichtige Erklärung die das Scherschneiden behandelt und worauf man hier unbedingt achten muss. Ich freue mich schon wenn mein erstes Victorinox die Woche eintrifft. Vielen Dank für diese tollen Videos.
Я знал что швейцарский нож много функционале, но за вашу креативность, подачу материала для всех и доброжелательность отдельно сказать хочется спасибо!
Another suggestion, birch bark "glue", heat birch bark shavings in metal box, take the liquid and mix with charcoal. Has worked for the neantherthals and on! They used it for securing stones to wood for their version of SAK! Thanks for Your inspiering videos.
If you want to expand the wood, use beer instead of water. Look how good beer expands some bellies. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Wow, great video demonstrating patience and determination. Didn't know so much can be done with one tool. This is taking bushcraft to the next level. This is the first video of yours that I've seen. I will be checking out your other videos. Thanks for your hard work.
Dude!!! That was totally awesome!!! You are probably the most patient guy I’ve met! Lol. Such a cool video and fun. I’m going to share this on my FB page. Blessings, the OCD Hunter!
I have several styles of Victorinox pocket knives. Fisherman, and the one you show here, are my two favorites, and I always keep one or the other in my pocket. 3:57 I would have used saw to cut several times toward what I want thickness of cup to be. Then used blade like chisel, down tree rings. Much quicker with locking blade that way.
Felix, thank You for your Time I appreciate the Opportunity we have to watch as you teach us the incredible ability of the Swiss Army Knifes. I’ve almost watched all your videos and I once again thank You Mate for letting us share with you all the Ability we can access with this Knife
I really like it, my friend! I have been waiting for this video and I was not disappointed! Thank you for all your efforts in bringing these excellent how-to videos to us. All the best, James.
Felix Immler: The man with the grip strength of 1000 gorillas! 😉 My father has carried one of these SA knives on his belt for the last 50 years - from the day he got married until now (it was a wedding gift from my mother), your channel keeps reminding me of why I need to get one and learn to use it properly.
Well done Felix , that was one of the most difficult task that you have done on RUclips. Could still be a useful skill in a survival situation even if the cup leaks🙂
Always a lot of fun to watch your Videos. Great project, when sitting alone in the woods, watching the fire and to carve this project. Thank you, and Frohe Weihnachten, wie wir hier sagen . Fill in a Sixpack of beer and it doesn't not matter if it is proof or not.
I wouldn't have believed it, but I saw it with my own eyes. Sir, you are extraordinary! And you have a delightful personality...extremely relaxing and entertaining video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looks like a great project to make on holidays! Great tips, I love the way you connected many of earlier ideas there. Aren't you afraid that your SAK might get broken with some tasks? Early Merry Christmas!
What a great weekend project. Thanks for all the hard work that you put into it. I like this one as it uses alot of the past tips and tricks videos in an application use.
Felix, can you follow up with the shrink cup now that a few weeks have passed? I'd like to see if it holds water now. Also, does storing the cup near a fire or fireplace help dry the cup faster?
Если ты будешь сушить у печки то она сразу треснет сушить надо постепенно у холодном проветриваемом месте куда не попадает солнечный свет и со временем постепенно убирать в более теплые помещения но главное не перестарайся
You're doing great, a great teacher. Lost, skills, art, craftsmanship, I love seeing other's who know how to survive, because being alone isent a bad thing... As a matter of fact.. Everyone should be encouraged, to get to know yourself.. to have confidence, in the great outdoors Depend on yourself, not other's, not money and in a few short months of summer, be ready for winter. A friend of mine once told me, you're the only person I know, who can be forgotten about, dropped in the forest, and when I come back in 15 months... You have a small 2 story home, table chairs, bed, shower.. MABY a pool.. Eating and living well. God bless you all, in the name of Jesus...
Pretty cool project Felix however since you’ve done it already I guess I won’t 🤣🤣 by the way, that knife is not the camper model, it has a hook. What model is it? I’m getting a camper for Christmas. Do I need to trade it in?😁 Great video. Thank you

Okay, you won my subscription. Could always saw the wood in half down the length and re-seal with pine sap if you're doing this out in the woods or something and bind it together to make the job easier, maybe tie it together with some twine while it dries. This would let you use the saw on the inside instead of gouging for ages. Out of sheer effort and the look of it as one whole piece, thumbs up!
Normally, logs split because they dry unevenly. A cup like this exposes the wood to air more evenly than a cut log does, so it tends to shrink more uniformly.
Wonderful job Felix, you work are very motivational and more important the smile that never washed away from your face so every time I see any video from your channel, it boosts my energy for a while.
Felix I appreciate this video so much. It reminds me of “how they had to do it” centuries ago and even today still in some parts of the world. Outstanding work!
I spent 25 years hand carving wooden spoons and kitchen goods for a living. I always carved green wood then dried it gently in a simple light bulb kiln. This was just a basic wooden plywood box with a top lined with foil insulation - wire rack at the top of the box - 4 standard shop light bulbs. If I wanted to slow the process I could unscrew one or two bulbs - moisture escaped through the gaps around the lid. It was a very basic setup but worked perfectly. You could tell when the wood was dry by the feel - warmth coming from the wood and by the sound when you knocked two pieces gently together.
Felix probably crafted his entire house with a Swiss Army knife.
This is the topic for the next video😂
I did mine with a Randall.
@@FelixImmler I wondered how it would go with the rangergrip 79? Will you try? :D Thx ;)
😂😂😂
😅😂 That's excellent comment!!!
It's a good thing Felix only uses his powers for good. I'm completely convinced he could take over the country with his SAK if he wanted.
Haaa ha haa, thanks a lot for your enthusiasm 😂 😂
It's still no "swiss army knife"! Yes it's a knife made in switzerland. But the army knifes are way smaller.
Today, wooden drinking cup... Tomorrow, world domination!
@@wendymessler5843 like to see you make everything he does with a gun
He could come to America and take over the country. It would be a vast improvement!

We enjoyed that a lot during diner;) Interesting technique with the shrinking, but wouldn't the cup be prone to spiting when drying?
Not really it could form cracks but as long as you keep the bark I doubt it would
Normally, logs split because they dry unevenly. A cup like this exposes the wood to air more evenly than a cut log does, so it tends to shrink more uniformly.

I spent 25 years hand carving wooden spoons and kitchen goods for a living. I always carved green wood then dried it gently in a simple light bulb kiln. This was just a basic wooden plywood box with a top lined with foil insulation - wire rack at the top of the box - 4 standard shop light bulbs. If I wanted to slow the process I could unscrew one or two bulbs - moisture escaped through the gaps around the lid. It was a very basic setup but worked perfectly. You could tell when the wood was dry by the feel - warmth coming from the wood and by the sound when you knocked two pieces gently together.
