*quick note - I mentioned that Hedge Woundwort looks like Nettle as it’s in the same family “Lamiaceae” - Nettle is in the family “Urticacea” I had it written down in my notes as the plant being in same family as Mint - Which is Lamiacea but ended up talking about Nettles. They are not the same family! But do look similar and share similar characteristics. Anyway - brain is fried from editing and life, apologies for the mix up!

The live trap is a great thing to know. Where I live, not only are they not illegal, they are required - it is the deadfalls and other traps that are outlawed. Trappers are required to check the traps regularly to release any species (unharmed) that are not allowed to be trapped. So the trap must not harm the animal.

bushcrafting is the best community ever, on the internet and in real life.

This channel is by far the most useful bushcraft skills and wilderness survival on YouTube. Thank you for all you share Mike. 🇦🇺

Lay the fisherman's knot opened wide on ground. Begin filling it with kindling. Tighten & easily carry back to camp site. Love how your tips can double for campers as well. Thanks.

I’m going to buy a small empty book and use it to write down these ideas, along with any others I find, just to keep in my survival kit. Well done!

I read a book entitled “My Side of The Mountain”, in it was a description of making a whistle. Thank you So much for that tutorial! I always wanted to see how it was done ✅

I just found your videos last night and have already watched 6 or 7 of them. Love the content! We have gotten so far away from our survival skills in society. This stuff should be a staple in every school. Keep up the great work!!!

13:15 I've been using the same knot for tying two similarly thick pieces of rope for a long time now and it's never failed me. It's called a Zeppelin Bend. Incredibly easy to tie, will never come undone regardless of how much weight you put on it, and it's also super easy to undo, even after being under tension for days. And also it's clean and pretty.

Another great video! The live trap style can be used as a smoker or dehydrator hung above the fire.

I am normally underwhelmed, but for once, I am literally blown away. Thank you. PS The basket can be used to carry firewood, food or supplies, create a quick lift to keepstuff dry like a table, fine sticks can create a nice fish basket.... or.. thicker sticks can be secured for a decent toilet. The basket method with two longer sticks might help carry large game in a pinch. Amazing. Urine can be used to bleach and soften coal in water also makes lye which can help in tanning. I use a Rapala knot for a solid knot

Hi, I like watching your videos, from these videos I began to get carried away with bushcraft, and after a few months I started my own channel! Thank you for your motivation!

[russellrlf]

My dad taught me how to make these when I was a kid, have been thinking about it recently and couldn't remember how the trigger worked. Thanks for the refresher.

I liked all of this; its got a lot of expandable know-how condensed, and a bit in return: Archimedes-Bridge, this friction frame will suit your bush-craft shelter building so-well, it's a game-maker, older than dirt; once the concept is memorized, it can be developed into your style, you have a foundation you can walk on, literally pile stones onto your bush-craft roof.
