    Welcome To Survival-Russia. One of the very best Outdoors and Survival related communities on CZcams, and yes, It's a pretty good Channel too :)
    My name is Lars. I'm From Denmark but I live in Rural Russia now. I live at a Homestead in wild nature surrounded by a huge forest.
    On The Survival-Russia channel we do all things related to the Outdoors Lifestyle. I share my thoughts and experiences on Survival Techniques for the woodlands of the Northern Hemisphere. the Reality of Survival. I share Techniques and ways of the Siberian Tribesmen and the Russian Longhunters of the older days. Things not shown outside of Russia very much.
    On this Channel we also do Off-Road driving, Vehicle builds, Metal Detecting, all things Outdoors basically. Enjoy!

      Do you know anyone that does custom axework or shoemaking? I could use shoes that fit me &
      I have an idea for an axe that would likely eliminate the need for all that work, but give you more chopping power than a tomahawk.

    I like that tip on cooking with the container out above the fire as to hold down the soot. The handle blanks look nice also and I have to remember that tip also since I may need to get another handle for my ax.

  • @robertbacklund4438
    @robertbacklund4438 Před 5 lety

    Here is a trick that I was taught about 50 years ago when I was in Boy Scouts. To keep soot from a camp fire from getting on your cook ware take a bar of soap like Palmolive or Dial soap and rub it on the outside of your pot like it was a coating of wax on a surfboard. The soot will form on the soap coating but when you wash the pots all of the soot comes off easily with the soap.

  • @jamesellsworth9673
    @jamesellsworth9673 Před 5 lety

    A US Boy Scout 'trick' was to coat pots and pans on the outside with a good lather from a pumice-rich soap ('Lava' Brand.) The carbon in smoke (mostly) was absorbed by the dried, soapy lather and could be washed away with little scrubbing. The pumice helped with scouring the pan or pot.

    In the USA they think the best handles are made of Hickory. I don't know much about Birch as I don't have it here, where I live. It grows East of me and North of me.

    At about 10:24 in the video, that thick fallen tree behind you, some Silky action to section the trunk into vertical logs for a shelter that could handle large snow loads. Could be small vertical logs for lower shelter or larger vertical logs for higher shelter design. Just some thoughts.

  • @redcanoe14
    @redcanoe14 Před 5 lety

    Good video Lars! That axe is nice, similar to my Toporsib Axe. Birch makes good handles, I use yellow Birch which is the hardest one I can find here in Western Canada, I prefer it to Hickory which splits in cold weather. The Finnish People used to chop the bark off one side of a Birch and leave it for years, as the wound heals the wood on that side would grow denser (rings closer together) making it harder. The hard side would become the front of the axe shaft. Good tip on keeping soot of pots, but if you allow them to blacken I have heard the pot boils water quicker (should do the experiment). Take care friend, WS.
