    In the army we learn to use red lights all the time. It's much less noticeable at night as red light is a wide wave in the light spectrum thus doesn't travel as far as blue or white light. Also, it doesn't make you lose your eye's dark adaptation as much as white light. If you have a red light mode on your headlamp use that if you're being stealthy. I use a Petzl Tactikka headlamp it has both white and red mode.

      When I was in the army we didn't use red light we used to put electrical tape over the lens and put a pin prick in it and that was enough light to read a map or do basic tasks and not affect your night vision

      Fantastic tip, I must try this. I always leave it till I absolutely have to turn a light source on so as not to upset my night vision but this sounds like a great alternative. I stupidly thought the red light was just for attaching to rear of a bike. Cheers, Andy

      @@waymarkerbushcraft if you want to preserve night vision for a short period of time, close your dominant eye before you turn the light on. Keep it closed until you turn the light off. You can try this at night on the way to your bathroom. You’ll be amazed at the difference

    Regarding stealth, if you're hunting or fishing at night and only worried about animals seeing you, cover your light source with a bit of red plastic or the like. Red light doesn't throw shadows easily, nocturnal predators aren't bothered by it and it reflects brightly from eyes, making animals easy to spot; this method is used in hunting alligators at night, for example.

    Cat tails are amazing in the spring the green "cobs" can be roasted and eaten, in the fall the cobs fluff can be used for tinder ( as you mention), as bedding/insulation, packing materials, absorbents, or just used as a torch on the stalks. The root tubers can be eaten. The pollen can be used for a flour substitute. Plus the stalks can be used for shelter construction or broken down into a hemp like material for braiding/cordage. There's a bunch of other ways to utilize the different parts... just some of the stuff off top of my head I remembered.

    To carry duct tape, cut a flat piece from the side of a plastic milk carton. About 3”X5” is a good size, but modify to fit your needs. Wrap several or more yards of tape around it. Double over the end 1/8” so it’s easier to remove.

    The trick with the foil and battery can be made easier to use by adding a strip of non conducting paper or thin cardboard under the foil onto the battery contact . That way you can hold it in place under the tinder material and then with the other hand gently pull the paper out , making the electrical contact .

    Great vid!
    On a side note though: if your light/lamp uses lithium battery (18650, 21700, 16340, CR123A, etc) instead of AA or AAA battery. DO NOT do the battery fire trick. Lithium cells tend to discharge at extremely high amp when shorted (some batteries 35A or even higher), doing this trick with lithium will likely lead to instant explosion, severe burns, and extremely toxic gas emission.

    • @FinnishSnowmobiler
      @FinnishSnowmobiler Před 2 lety +7

      There's no way a bubble gum wrapper could take 35A even for a second, it will ignite or burn through. Second, I've conducted many tests on unprotected 18650 cells, I could not make them explode with short circuiting them (or even puncturing). The 18650 cells would only get hot after a while and at most let out minor smoke. The method shown in this video is safe, no worries.

    A small sidenote for the pine tea, some are indeed very rich in vitamins and very good for you but others can cause a bad case of the runs and some are even toxic to the point of high fevers.
    As with most things in life, dosage is key and they're not an immediate sentence but if you're not sure, start of small.

    The other tree related one I would like to share is you can do all the same things with most if not all cedar species as the pines. The one thing to avoid is too much of this drink in either case though. It can cause diarrhea if had more often than every 3 days or so. I guess it can be a laxative then if you really need it too.
