I would love to see more survival skills to be learned.
Learn to make a Bow
yeah the best thing about learning survival skills is so many people see this and will then get an idea of how to do it so if they ever get into a situation that requires such skills at least they have an idea of what they need to do in order to survive which is great to see
Just have him learn everything that Primitive Technology does. That would be something I'd watch passionately.
Learn how to fuckin survive mate
watch primitive tachnology
What you guys think? Should I learn more survival skills? Should I learn to do the hand drill too?! Let me know!
Learn to do the rainbow flick
Learn to drift
Yess do more survival skills!!
I think you should learn how to make a 5 star meal like go to a restaurant and re-create it.

Quick tip: When starting fires don't take anything off of any tree if you can help it, it is either live wood (hard to light) or contains residual moisture if it is dead. Instead, use wood and tinder from the ground whenever possible (as long as it is dry).
Reagan Branham Absolutely! It's the first thing I said the moment he started rubbing the sticks together!!! Don't cut wood from the trees. Use dead wood from the ground. He could have done it in half the time.
Really? I've had far better luck with dead hanging branches. Im in canada and it's usually raining or snowing so anything on the ground is usually sitting in a pool where the hanging stuff has more exposed surface area to dry
ThePickledPlatypus7 absolutely! Some standing dead wood like poplar or birch is the best. I like to use finely shredded birch bark for my tinder nest as well.
This is bad advice as well, if it's touching the ground, it's been exposed to moisture.
Oh, Really? Depends where so it isn't either good or bad

The best part of his videos is the pure joy he feels after all the times he fails . Failure is such a great thing when you use it as fuel and never let it stop you. Here is to starting new things without being afraid to fail âday one hour zero â đŸ

If theres one thing that will annoy me to death whenever I hear it, despite how true it is, was something I took away from being in the Army. A lot of higher ups will say that when you fail, its the First Attempt In Learning.
Jesus. That Mike didn't lose his fingers the way he handles a knife is a miracle.
I cringed every time I look at him hold that knife while utilizing the bow drill. Mistakes can happen. Put the knife down when doing something else please.
@@trubz2096 Not sure if you watched the video or not but he was using the knife to put pressure down
I dont want to be mean to the other participants in the recent videos but im glad your back!

Yeah I liked the other guys to be honest I even subbed to all of them but itâs just not the same without mike.
The slack line video sucked.
Dude barely really tried and got lucky, wasn't even comfortable then claimed he learned it which i call bullshit
I want to be mean. They sucked.
It isn't their fault. They simply lack something that he has: Absolute tenacity. In all the videos of the other guys, they reach the same breaking point Mike does, but the difference is Mike doesn't give up. It's really inspiring.
Imagine just walking your dog out on a nice sunny day and seeing a man just sitting there furiously rubbing stick togetherđđ
_ Exotiqz _ XD this is hilarious most underrated comment Iâve ever seen
Respectfully I can understand the sarcasm as there really isn't much of a need for such a skill with modern day tech .....And in honesty your comment is funny by all rights as its not common or normal behavior by standards advocated in todays society . But if you would look past your cynicism you may find a hole new experience that can be very rewarding . Pride often influences behavior and as a result people often choose to over look simplicity or basics .....History has taught mankind that lesion time and time again ......Yet we are motivated by convenience .....So rather than pass asinine judgment I for one would likely look upon this individual with profound curiosity .....evaluating the situation and asking questions ......Perhaps why are you rubbing two sticks together ? Because to reiterate its not considered normal behavior by todays standards but Iam sure after seeing the results most would be impressed with results .....And to be honest who would I be to pass judgment that in truth would be nothing more than stereotypical .
@@kevinbolin7665 wow
I think your yt profile pic is the pic i use for my minecraft profile pic!
Kevin Bolin wtfđ
The lessons derived from a thousand failures far surpass the insights gained from a singular instance of success. Nothing but love and gratitude to Mike for enduring the sufferings, pain and challenges just to impart knowledge upon us so we don't have to go through all that.
Imagine youâre doing a walk in the woods and thereâs a man just sitting and rubbing sticks together and his wife filming it.
Black Rose in fact she is his fiancée because he propose to her in another video (i dont know if they are married yet)
I think the guest spots on his channel were owing to the fact that he was on his honeymoon. So they are married!
TheBananaSonic
I would think so too
also kingofrandom did it in 2012
I gotta say, making a fire without a match or lighter is one of the most rewarding experiences ever. Going back to mans primal state, without fire we would die. Modern technologies have caused us to lose our ability to survive the wild. So getting to do this fills a hole most dont know they have.
We are all lazy in this modern society
I was cringing so hard I could get a coal with the bow method in under 10 seconds He was doing so many things wrong keep your bow level man

Learn to play the balisong/butterfly and try some cool tricks with it.
Goal: Helix Rollovers ?
goal: murnax ladder?
Jake Hu Yes! There are too many cool tricks you can learn
Im going on a limb here but its probably illegal...like in UK, Germany and many other EU countries. Germany has this stupid ban since 2008...i remember being a kid i could buy a butterfly and i had one...stupid silly laws.
Not silly if you think about it. A balisong has no use other than looking cool and harming people, it's a shit knife for actually cutting things. It's like those fully automated blades that used to be in old gangster movies, not really good for cutting, just useful for stabbing and intimidation.
"Look how straight this is"
Should make a nice lil bow
By far the best skill youve ever learnt
You missed the crucial bit about the Tom Hanks method! The stick was cracked, and that let air get to it.
came to say this
The level of quality in your videos is unreal! One of my favorite youtubers by far, glad you are back!
Iâve seen guys find gold and not be as excited! Bravo!!!!
Was just about to mention how careful you have to be with fires in nature, thanks for adding the heads up Mike! It's so dry and warm in A LOT of countries at the moment and a lot of wildfires and forest fires going on, even a small thing as a cigarette butt can start a fire in places where it's very dry.
In most of Sweden it's forbidden at the moment to even start up a campfire (or using fire somehow in general), let alone trying to learn how to start a fire. Be careful people!
Spitnuk probably wasnât the best time of year to release this video. You just need a few kids trying to emulate this and something could get out of hand. Fun vid though.
Same in Denmark, cant even buy the disposable grills at the store and all the grass has gone to hay
I probably should have looked before I commented almost exactly this myself. Am also in sweden and was alarmed until the thing about safety.
I always feel relieved when I see precautions in tutorials I think they are essential.

You should have a site with a voting system for your next skill to learn! I think that would be awesome!

Have you looked at VSauce? The concept of quantity over quality has been disproved in a lot of instances already. While it may work (higher quantity), with certain content, it's just not possible to produce.

completely different.

Yup. Fly an airplane.

Can you do it?
I think you can.

No you can't go and just fly a plane you ididot
You can, but its obviously just small ones and you need an instructor, and will take a long time to be allowed to fly without anyone, like a car, but it takes a lot longer
G. Flanary that's a lot of money to invest for something that he's not gonna profit from, except for the revenue of the video. Not worth the money and the time
Did you not read the entire post?

It's obvious your reading and comprehension skills, not to mention spelling, are subpar.
The correct spelling for "ididot", is idiot, idiot!

I'm fairly certain that's how primitive tech does it too. I think he even showed a video once, lighting a fire with an even more efficient technique, where you exert an up and down pumping motion. During the upstroke a cord ravels around the stick, and during the down it unravels, spinning the stick.
Weâve all been there; rubbing our stick for hours, alone in the woods.

You should do a braille version of the 2x2x2 cube where you don't even need to see the cube. Use hot glue or something to create some kind of code for each color (maybe something similar to an ordinary 6-sided die) and use only your logic and sense of touch to solve it. I think it would be a good exercise in retraining your brain from picking up on the color orientations of the cube to using only your sense of touch.
Look up the mirror cube, its a shaped base cube

I am currently studying at the university of british columbia in kelowna and I just wanna say that your videos always make me smile and I really appreciate what you've been doing!

It is much easier to do the hand drill in Australia. I have done it here and I am no way near as strong as you
I've watched dozens and dozens of videos of people starting fires using primitive methods, and this is my favorite! I really enjoyed watching your persistance, and how you progressed in your knowledge and understanding, learning what got results and what didn't. The bow drill is definitely a superior technique, and the one I use. I almost never subscribe, but I like what you're doing, and found it entertaining. Great job, and keep up the good work!
Hereâs a good title
Caveman discovers fire ?????? Colorized
Your best video by far
One of the most profound moments in human history, essentially the step from primitive to progressive. I often wonder how they came up with the concept. Did they see a forest fire and witness wood burning, then somehow relate friction to heat. Whatever way they did it, considering how much effort is needed to create fire, they must have been absolutely certain, that it was possible when they began.
You got yo give this guy credit for his perseverance

"I started a forest fire "
