    In the UK and Europe the distress signal is 6 blasts on a whistle repeated every minute, the response is 3 whistle blasts to let the person asking for help know someone has heard. However, what tends to happen is once the person needing help hears the 3 blasts they think helps is on the way and stop the whistles. This makes it harder for the rescue team to use the sound to locate them especially in poor visibility so if you do need help don’t stop blowing the whistle until rescuers are with you.

    • @slippery999
      @slippery999 Před 2 lety

      @@markcummings6856 that’s clearly untrue as it’s 6 in the U.K. and you can check with any U.K. Mountain Rescue website. Europe too so not ‘world universal’. I was pointing this out to avoid confusion in the U.K. as, and I’m guessing here, most viewers are in the U.K. 3 whistle blasts are used in the US and there is a generally accepted ‘rule of 3’ for visual signals eg 3 cairns, 3 fires, 3 Xs etc placed in a triangle but no ‘world universal’ 3 whistle blasts. Always willing to learn so please show me what your source is for the ‘world universal’?

    That Douglas Fir must have been relatively young. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of those in the US Pacific Northwest region (Oregon and Washington) and up into western Canada. The mature trees have very rough, thick bark and you’d be hard pressed to find those blisters.

    Thank you for not encouraging people to go hacking up tree trunks, I see a lot of that in my area and often the tree rots away from the scars.
    Also, the "whistle" is very impractical since it requires two hands to used, in which case you might as well just learn to whistle with your fingers since it would be much louder, more reliable and doesn't require being near grass.
    Better yet, carry an actual whistle which you can use even if your hands or arms are damaged and is a very energy efficient signal.

    Hi Mike. Been watching TAF and your channel for ages. Thanks for the great content. Glad to see you in your woods.
    I believe I noticed you using a clipper lighter not a bic like all the youtubers keep recommending. I've been trying to get the message across on how much better clipers are. Refillable. Removable spark bit which can be interchanged or used by itself to ignite tinder. Replaceable flint, and I'm sure there's other benefits than those. .

    • @presidentmerkinmuffley6769
      @presidentmerkinmuffley6769 Před 2 lety

      Only downfalls of the Clipper is the port will sometimes leak, and if you run it too long the igniter bit can heat and loosen around the striker wheel.
      Clipper, Djeep, and Bic are all good. Zippos are too just higher maintenance.

    Not trying to be critical, but genuine question, why do we need to identify the difference between bulsom and Douglas firs if both have resin pockets with equal uses? I understand how other species might have different uses but is identifying exactly what kind of coniferous evergreen actually helpful?

    Anyone know a good channel in the American southeast? I love this day and we’ll keep watching but would love similar plant info for plants that actually exist in my region
