Stay in the Woods,

There a lot of things that I never know swiss army knife can do until I watch Felix immler channel, this type of knife is really useful lol
have you gotten Felix's book?
@@Shadowmib I'm interested but haven't bought it yet.
You put me on to that channel .. binge watching now . Thanks 🙏
Fellix sended me his latest book as a gift,very generous guy
Felix is amazing!
Good thinking! BTW the corkscrew is also good for loosening tight knots on paracord and similar sized cordage. Just slip the tip carefully under a loop in the knot, give it a twist or two and try pulling it loose...if it's not working (if you don't know what kind of knot it is etc.) try another loop.
Eventually people realize that the SAK models with the corkscrew are the way to go. Especially since the small flathead on the can opener works as a Phillips.
3:46 - “you need to just take your time” and it suddenly darkens like he’s been cutting it with that little saw blade for hours😂😂
Harry Crabb why would you write this? Please explain
Harry Crabb fair enough
By the moss on the tree I can calculate the angle of the sun and it is 11-12 am when he starts the cut . There is a cut in the film and the sky darkens , the sun is now behind him . My spider sense tells me it has taken 8 hours to make the cut . Moral , always carry a ladder and chainsaw
Outstanding video, as always. An excellent YT resource for SAK’s is Felix Immler.
I had never thought of that. Definitely a top not taught in the BSA years ago when I was a member. Thank you.
The Corkscrew is also great for undoing knots that have been under load and are so tight you can't undo them, especially with paracord I have found.
One of the reasons I use it to
I never thought about this. I bought my Huntsman in 1992. Carried it every single day during Military carrier. It is still going strong and still have only used the cork screw once and it was in fact to remove a cork. I am considering a new Fieldmaster that has #2 Phillips instead of cork screw.
My first thought when you started reaching into the tree; that could be useful for getting coconuts, if you're in that sort of situation. Also great for reaching the not so low hanging fruit, if maybe animals have gotten to the easy to reach stuff before you got there. Filed for future use, thanks for that one.
Good in fact Great thinking.
pure genius 👏!!!
Fowler sent me 😉😂
Ayyy! It’s the Fowler!!! Love ur channel!
Omg i love the channel
nice, nice! TY, great tip! Open the blade and you can harvest mushrooms, high hanging wild grapes, etc..also save that $8 fishing lure!
I love how you showed the cut branch and then just dropped it like a mic.
Thanks for the cool tip, yet another reason for me to get a Swiss Army Knife for my kit.
Brilliant! You also opened the idea to using it as a small auger for boring thru holes in thinner stuff. Thanks for sharing, Coalcracker. Your channel’s awesome!
Great video! Regarding the twisting motion: Victorinox branded SAKs have the key ring on the other side, so using the for this purpose you can carve the end of the stick and fixing the top of the handle to the top of the stick. Felix Immler shows that beautifully, someday you could meet in a cross continent workshop!
Awesome tip! I just bought that exact knife, mostly to have a back-up saw.
My latest two SAK don’t have corkscrews but I like the thinking outside the box. Always amazed by your vids.
Yet another reason I keep my subscription to your channel! Thanks for the great lateral thinks.
Awesome tip,never seen that before. Finally something to use the corkscrew for.
Hi Dan. What a really great idea - thank you for sharing. Stay safe in these troubled times. ATB. Nigel
Wow I've seen alot of bushcraft videos, but this blew my mind, youre definately the first one I've seen do this method, thankyou.
Awesome video! I have been using the one handed tracker for a few months now. Great little knife
That's a great idea! Thanks!
I know lots of people don't use the corkscrew for its intended purpose but I use it all the time. Works Great!
Question I always asked... FINALLY answered! Thanks!
Fantastic. Great encouragement for anyone wanting to get initated into bushcrafting.
Great pointer my friend, thank you for sharing. All the best to you and your family. Stay healthy. 🤗
fantastic would never have thought of using the cork screw that way thanks for the tip
Absolutely brilliant!
If you pop open the can opener that most SAK’s have you have a lash point that will help with saw twisting. Also if you make a lanyard fob out of paracord and attach it to the key ring you will always have lashing material also. Love my SAK Huntsman as an edc pocket knife. Thanks for the great channel!
Awesome tip!! I looked at the cork screw and thought to myself, "never have I snared a random bottle of wine in the woods, why is this on here?"
But now you've given it purpose.
Remember, it is not a bushcrafter's knife. It's still an officers knife.
If you are on a date with a pretty girl and a bottle of wine, and don't have a cork screw; you are in a survival situation.
Where else would you put your eyeglass screwdriver?
@@Pygar2 In the same places where they put toothpicks and tweezers for the butterfly collection? :))))
@tahoemike5828 not heard this one lol, but that's the difference between getting some or not on that date 🤣
Aww man that is flippin sweet!! I haven't carried the good ol Swiss army knife in many many moons but I might keep one in my bag for just this purpose.
Wow I now have two uses for my corkscrew great idea thank you for showing this .
Thats awesome. I've had the same Victorinox hunter given to me by my uncle since I was 12 years old and have never used the corkscrew for anything else but to hold down the lanyard ring. It's nice to know how to make it more functional now for future use. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Great tip! Thanks as always.
Wow..that is ingenious! Gotta try this tomorrow!
Since I don't drink wine I've never thought I had a use for the corkscrew on amy of my knives untill now , thanks young fellow . Yes old dogs can learn new tricks from the young pups out there , much appreciated. Best regards from Lloyd.
As always, thanks for sharing the knowledge brother! Awesome content
Great use for this knife Dan, Thanks.
love these type of practical creativity videos!
👍👍👍.
Corkscrew .. great also, when one doesn't want to cut, for getting into those tight knots .. saves on finger nails and teeth.
You are my go-to CZcams bushcraft Yoda. Thanks a lot and great video as always
That is awesome! Thank you for this.
Zack and Greg sent me. Great video I will have to try that some time.
That is one cool hack! Thanks!
Nice hack! Thanks Fowler for sharing
Wow, thanks Dan.
Like many I prefer the fieldmaster version but I also have the ranger which has the corkscrew.... this use you’ve shared is tipping me more towards the corkscrew than ever.. I use it to remove wall plugs without damage to the plaster and for untying shoe laces that the kids have knotted, this extra tip now out ways the Philips screwdriver on the fieldmaster 👍
Wow! Very creative! Love it! Cant wait to try this with my trusty swisschamp👍
That was amazing! Thanks tor sharing
And that'll be my Something New for today.
Never thought of that before.
I very recently bought a new swiss army knife, I wanted a smaller one than the one I had, my new one doesn't have a cork screw but I have seen your trick done using the needle tool, I have also seen a hack using the cork screw where a few needles are wrapped with thread and stored inside the cork screw . My old knife doesn't have the little hole for storing a pin ( very handy for removing splinters, making a compass) so I am very happy that my new one dose , I'm sure it will come in handy.
I love this! Thanks man!
That's a very cool and creative hack. Thank you CCBC. 😁😎
Last month added to my every day carry. Thanks for more uses
Great Tip, I do always have my SAK with me in addition to a real knife............
Brother you never cease to amaze me , this is a perfect video of your ingenuity .
That was a cool vid, would've never thought of that, once I saw you do the corkscrew I already knew, nice 😁🤙🤙🤙
Slick trick ! Thanks for sharing!
Good Dan ...never think of that even at 68 even my friends older and have a swift army knife long time
Brilliant! Thank you
Dan being MacGyver. Love it!👍😆
I miss that show!
The awl/reamer tool works too! Just drill through the pole using the awl/reamer and then use a short length of paracord to stabilise the main body of the knife. It's a great backup or emergency tool and the extra pole length can even help make other cutting tasks easier, not just the very long reach tasks. I am only a recent convert to the whole Swiss Army Knife thing, having somehow avoided owning one all my life. Now, aged 60, I finally bought a Hunter model and just love it!! It's a really great tool and has such a heritage. They really are as good as the legends say and despite owning so many great little and larger knives, I totally see the reason these knives have endured and have such credentials. Great videos btw and I love your easy, fun and very honest style of presenting. Lots of fun. Thank you.
I use the awl all the time. Awesome for digging out burrs/ slivers, as well as clearing out the eyes of Jigheads and other fishing lures. Too, if you ever end up having to crank a screw (or tree stand step) straight in, without a pre-drilled hole, digging a little hole so the threads can grab right away will save you quite a bit of time.
That is a nifty tip. Thank you
Brilliant idea!
I like SAK's. Have several. This is the best tip I've seen in a while 👍
Best on Swiss Army knives : Felix Immler on CZcams.
Tons of tricks with the red multi tool and his English accent adds some fun.
Hello Eric. Thanks a lot for the roses 😂😂
@@FelixImmler Felix you sir, are a legend. And I love seeing different channels that I subscribe to interacting with one another, thank you for the countless videos you post.
Great idea! Love my Huntsman.
Holy freaking awesomeness. Un real. Love it, thanks Dan.
Awsome tip as always!!
Dude, awesome, I never thought of that. I've carried almost that same swiss army knife for 30 years. I've used the corkscrew many times for myself or at parties with women. I think every refined manly man should carry one. Ive used the saw blades even for woodworking in a pinch or when needing to clear a small amount of brush. Most recently using it for making holes in electrical cap plastic inserts when I'm on rooftops.
Good tip Dan never seen that done before
This is fucking brilliant. Pure gold. I have a Swiss army knife that was a gift from my sons years ago. I never thought much of it, but I am slowly becoming a convert to team Swiss army.
Great idea, never would have thought of it.
That's a Great tip.
Never been a big fan of the Corkscrew, but if you add in the pin and mini Screwdriver it makes it great and puts it above the phillips Screwdriver imo.
Also Corscrew is just damn Iconic.
Nice alternate use of the cork screw. Thumb up for a good idea.
Yeehaw finally an actual use for that damned corkscrew. I've added a strip of Ranger band to my key-ring for "lashing" the handle in this case. Thanks man.
A great alternative use for SAK. Thanks Dan
Great tip, thanks!
Well, I never thought of that before. Neat trick.
Very useful hack! Good to know!
Mind blown! Crazy stupid simple freaking awesome hack!!!
This is a great video.
Was already a subscriber to you, but "Greg Ovens" sent me!! Love multi functioning gear. Great vid.
Awesome idea
Very good tip, Dan! may use this method to clear small branches above a campsite which then can be used for tinder - two for one!
That is freaking amazing awesome idea ingenious to say the least.
That was awesome. Just earlier this year I was fly fishing on the Gila. Got my last fly hung up in this tall bush overhanging the water. I never thought of this. Instead I spent an hour sawing down the whole damn bush.
Now THAT was new! 🤛. Thanks.
Great tip.
well done.. especially over a Creek or a lake ect. i try to fix the knive with cord or tape..... if the branch breakes at the screwhile.. clear.. if no cord by the hand.. perfect.. it works also without... ride on stay healthy!
Great tip!
Your a genius !!! Thank you sir.
Excellent!
Really cool idea. Smart thinking.
So damn clever. Also handy for opening random bottles of wine you find when out foraging. I've also used it as an awl and marlinspike as well.
Great idea, Thank you
Hey Dan. Greg (Ovens) sent me here. And I'm bloody glad he did. What you've shown is not thinking outside the box. Its thinking *inside* the box. And let's face it, there's a lot of shit ignored in there.
I'm pretty aware, and like to think I 'see' most things. But your video has reminded me that hey, I don't see everything. Thank you.
(subbed)
Cool SAK hack. I've carried a SAK Huntsman as my EDC for many years.
Greg ovens sent me here really cool trick I like it
Cool idea!
Really cool!
