“Got myself a nice big rod” 😂😂😂

Wonder what he’s doing, can’t see a thing

Unless you are providing medical care to a group of people, you have way too big a kit. All people in the back country should have their own small first aid kit in their backpack. You don't need all of the duplicate and diagnostic stuff. Your not going to have a mass casualty situation, so one or two of everything should be sufficient.

I make mine with hemp or sisal, 3/16" cordage soaked in a mi ture of wax and charcoal lighter fluid ànd either pieces of brass,or copper tubing or brake line.

Lol! Your stock video is just downright weird. 😄Good info though

👍🙏

Very informational video thank you

I can clearly hear you over the background audio

Great video! Very informative. Thank you.

Bears love stealing my backpack. Stupid bears

Great real life experience video.

My question is, and I'm going to be testing this myself this weekend because I already ordered the supplies, but, how effective would it be to use 22ga brass round wire with the penny snare method? Had some of the wire and a dozen circa 1970's pennies already on hand, so was going to try it out

you can always take a shower with it, stretch it for perfect fit as its wet on you

Nice vidéo, well explained and COULD SEE everything!

Pretty comprehensive, you’ve got it dialed in. Thanks for sharing, definitely got some ideas. 👍

A GREAT knot to know. Once I got it, it is fast, secure, and useful for many applications.

There’s definitely a better way to do this

I have used thicker cotton string to make mine and it work's great, it lights well with a spark and burns long and hot, and can be exstinguished in the pipe.

11:22 don't forget get about harvester, they are active in the warmer months and they will get all over your body and start singing aggressively

I knew it when he sped up the film that the dog was gonna try helping out. He was so interested in what he was digging for he wanted to help.

You should stage your TQ

thank you, very well explained

Awesome demonstration, finally got it! Thank you very much! :)

I bought some nice Dental rounds. Melted some Gulf wax and dipped the dental rounds into the molten wax. Dental rounds are soft. After being dipped (not allowed to soak) and being allowed to cool and set the result is very hard fire starters. Too hard to easily bend or fluff up with the fingers. I next tried a mixture of 50/50 gulf wax and soft beeswax toilet bowl ring. Results are better. Not what I want but better. Going to try wax and PJ next. Not expecting anything great. I have something else in mind too. If it works I'll give you a holler.

if you just use cotton rope without the wax , you can pull the rope back in after it burns so that it creates char cloth for the next time you use it . even more durable that way

I live in western Arizona, and Ive seen one Mohave green, and one King Snake. Big spiders but no Scorpions

Please, do not take your dog out into the desert with you! What is the point ? Needs extra water you must carry, cactus thorns, snakes, bees, ,scorpions, other animals, sharp rocks, over heating, plus many other dangers that you need to watch for along with taking care of yourself. Just because it wants to be with you always, sometimes it really shouldn’t. Ask every park ranger what they say about doing this !😊

Great video man. Hope it works for me. I like the masculine soundtrack. Also your dog is awesome!

You sir know what we all want and that is for you to make an Altoids wilderness survival kit and show us

Of all of the videos that I've watched on this trap, yours has actually been the best in terms of photographic competence and awareness. Thanks to your camera man, i was able to observe important little details which other channels didn't bother with or did badly. So well done and thank you.

Thanks for the video! Going to do this tomorrow. You just got a new sub!

I noticed that the end that burned before, lites easily with a ferro rod. Even with stiff rope soked in beeswax. So once it has burned it is easy to re-ignite

🤪 "promo sm"

In Colorado you don't need to go to the dessert for hot, dry, cactus and snakes. We got it all right here. Plus red racers, black widows and brown recluse fuzzies as well as scorpions. And no you will not find water even in the mountains. Colorado in reality is a high mountain dessert. Lots of ways to die here even if your not trying.

I usually carry at least one 100' section of paracord with me. I sore it on either plastic spoolers made for the purpose or on ones I male out of 1"× 1/4" pieces of wood and two dowel rods. You can make these as big or small as you need. This keeps the longer length manageable and keeps it from tangling. For shorter lengths I tie a bowline inone end that I put ober my thumb, then wrap it like the Army does their parchute lines, in a figure 8 over your finger and thumb, then wrap it with about 6 ft of cord and secure it by wrapping the tag end 4 or 5 times around a loosened loop and pulling tight. When I need some cordage I simply pull on the bowline and it comes out tangle free without unwrapping it. I also sometimes use smaller plastic spoolers that hols up to 50'. These allow for rhe cord to be stored in a flat coil and more easily stowed and take up less space plus they have holes in the handles that you can run a carabiner through or tie off with a piece of cord to the outside of your pack.

Thanks a lot ! very informative! Also, I like the vibe too. Subscribed.

I have a tube that will take 2x18650 batteries and I wrap about 10m paracord around that in an orderly fashion which works well for me when stored in a small 'stuff sack'. I can get a battery out of the tube easily enough and just have to pull the loop I've made in the end of the paracord and it unrolls nicely. I also keep a spool 125' of #100 cordage, Atwood mini-trd that is AWESOME for being out in the woods. This stuff can be used for all manner of things that you wouldnt want to use paracord for but is too much for trip wire or something like that.

Thrift stores have the metal cans. Hot coals, like in a charcoal grille, are traditionally used to make char cloth.

I hope over the past 7 years you’ve worked on your math because 1/2 a kilometer is NOT 5,000 meters 🤦‍♂️ 500 meters is half a kilometer. It’s really a shame they stopped teaching the metric system in the USA because it’s such an easy way to measure everything!! 👍

The sawyer exstractor

What do you think about Sawyer extractor for insect bights

cool. I'm signed up for a couple of your courses this summer and I'm really looking forward to learning!

Grew up in the desert, worked as a professional trail and adventure guide. No credibility while you wear sandals and short sleeves. Yes! Everything in the desert sticks, stinks bite and stings. Where is your water. My suggestion is that YOU stay out of the desert.

Is there a way to keep snakes at bay if you're sleeping outside in desert?

how to start a wild fire!!!

It's a lot harder to find then I thought

You have good knife technique!!

9:01 Thats a good point. Thanks for sharing. 😊

I always thought that you needed 2 types of wood
