leatherman charge al this is not a review guys you guys want to see a review of this multi-tool there's tons of it on youtube this is more of a big thank you from someone who's really grateful to Pharaoh Alan and also set from valdon book I hope I said it right trying to practice my German anyway guys I just have no words for this I just want to thank you for this wonderful gift thank you for your kind hearts and you know generous hearts this is I just love it it's perfect size not too big not too small I love the look of it the feel of it great i love the tulle so what I'm going to do next I'm going to show you how to make three birch bark cups stay tuned alright guys birch bark cups now to give you a little bit of a heads up first these are just traveling cups something that you need real fast I know of three easy ones that you can do birch bark is excellent for this type of stuff it's just like paper now i'm going to i'm not going to try and you know i mean i'm not going to fill up the cups with water see if it leaks or not you know most of the time it doesn't leak so and even if it does leak a little bit you'll still have plenty of time to drink whatever you drink before it leaks out birch bark if ever you find some dead dead tree on the ground and you want to use it for a cup you know sometimes it'll be dry so when you do make the cup sometimes they'll have a tendency to split where you fold it a little bit so it'll leak but if you do have time and you wanted to make it more pliable just stick this if you have a water source close of course maybe that's not a good idea because it may be polluted but anyway usually you put this in a water source and it'll make it more pliable but forget about what I just said just use it as you can even though it splits a little bit it doesn't matter so there's two ways that you can do when it's round so what I'm going to do is Warspite have a don't have a working table what you want to do get yourself a square piece and you know just round it off a little bit try and make it as round as you can I could have done this before but save some time make sure that actually doesn't have to be perfectly around and you know any types of cup you can make it the size you want just use a bigger piece no matter what the cup you want for the cup that you want okay here's a little round piece so what you want to do first is fold it once in to actually use a bigger piece for this but anyway okay it's folded once and then you fold it twice you got yourself a couple okay now obviously you can use a bigger piece just adjust for demonstration but it's very simple so there's the first one second one will do another round piece you're right as we can hey wait a minute you try something with this got some scissors with this bad boy ha okay see if these scissors work good yep

they were great try to use this first why don't you guys tell me you know if you want you can fast forward if your until I'm done with this you're too lazy to stop it and do this in

ok I guess it's kind of round kinda

all right brown piece you want to do is fold it inside like this just about in the middle fat you want the folding part to be inside now all you need to do is bring her up round round round round round until it forms your cup and you've got yourself a cup another one and what you could do now these are small pieces guys okay you can you know make yourself a bit way bigger one than that but anyway now you put this guy away and we'll use the saw broke

the other side ok

then

use the knife and just split a little bit

bring back my cup holder n I should have used a bigger piece but anyway make yourself a little handle here show him having problems okay

so

get yourself a little drinking cup all right hold it okay another one I'm running out of birch bark i'm going to use scissors again I don't have the nicest pieces but anyway cut this off about again you can fast forward til I get this straight you

trying to make a square here beautiful day today you guys still watching you're very patient all right get yourself a square piece what you want to do is fold it such a triangle okay then you're going to want to take one end here and bring it so it's like i'll show you after okay one in here so it's as horizontal as possible right to the end here okay you do the same with the other side bring it back where i got it look what I'm doing here again you make it as straight as you can

so there you go you got the two pieces that you refold it on the other side one like this now all I need to do is you've got two pieces at the top here is fold one over like this fold the other one on top and guess what oh yes what a beautiful cup blue this right so three easy traveling cups you can make in no time of course I should have taken the time to cut these things first but help you drink if you're thirsty real fast now again these are small size for demonstration if you can make it the size you want so again thank you so much guys for this just enjoy playing with it a little bit today but you can be sure this guy's going to stick with me
