    Greg just a tip from a pro dog trainer I am friends with. ALWAYS feed yourself 1st when your dog is watching. In a pack the Alpha always eats 1st. This is shepherd /dog psychology 101. Eat the first portion then allow pup to eat. You’ll avoid food guarding behaviors in the future. Happy bush-crafting!

    • @nonakind
      @nonakind 3 года назад +3

      Respectfully, this isn't quite the same scenario. He is hand feeding and commanding the dog a certain behavior/action before he feeds him. If the dog was just taking the food and you take what is left or ate after- then what you said would be put in place.

With a combination of that angelic voice and those almost girlish good looks, he'll be signed by Simon Cowell for a boyband. The lure of big money and superstardom will be too great. Bushcrafts loss will become Teenie boppers gain.

    Great project and excellent reverse twist with the dogbane. A couple ideas for future videos... Cordage can be made from several sources and most people don't carry fish hooks in their pockets. Also, rose thorns cannot be found everywhere, but trees and dead branches can. The Native Americans often used a ''gorge'' made from wood or bone or antler material. Simple, quick, and easy. If it is lost, there is plenty of material laying about. Also, not everyone has a large candle with them, but there are pine trees all around you there. Pine pitch glue masts o very long time

    19: 37, It was a good idea using the wax, seeing you implied you can swim to shore.
    Why not bring out a repair kit and fix it permanently - fiberglass is easy to repair. The repair will have to be anchored outside the waxed area. No way the resin will adhere to the waxed areas, but no problem.
    FRP is advertised as lightweight, but is closer to heavy than light.
    At the begining, the mfgs didn't know how thin it could be molded, so overdid the thickness; so that boat is worth a good amount of money.
    If it was mfg in the late 50s, early 60s, it's one of the very first of f-glass and is a serious collector's item.
    21: 00, why not round the edges of the paddle handle?
    25: 36, Ha! Ha!
    30: 12, a trophy pic for sure.
    That was exciting. Thanks!
    I'm definitely going to make some dogbane line.

    Greg, you should try fixing the boat with pine pitch glue. And maybe a little grass (or dogbane fiber) if the hole is big enough. It will last forever. Well, maybe not forever, but longer than wax.
    Anyway, this is a great video. Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make the line and demonstrate this. That is a lot of work and patience. My wife loves your videos as well. She is watching your 30 Day Survival Challenge videos right now.
