Oh

Oh

its mission is survival today we're gonna make an easy canoe crib stay tuned put in this log with my folding saw a small block every tree smells different I showed you how how these work this little saw now i'm gonna use an axe so I need to cut it right about here gettin these necks looks not arraign Steiner ain't so if I want to cut it here I don't want to stop my cuts there I want to move over a little bit the same width as the log huh yes that arena always put your sheath in your pocket so you don't lose it all right right about here

make sure it's nothing poking me in the back which there is I'm gonna be very careful go slow that's the dangerous yeah make sure I free swings yep a xanax is a big knife I want to make sure should I got plenty of room all right so I'm gonna start what oh you feel the water

guided to I'm a double check all right so well here will be good okay ready you can stay right there you can stay right there all right nice and slow

so you want to keep working now when you get towards the end some ants living in there so I'm gonna give them a chance to run away when you get towards the end you get to be very careful because you don't want your ex to go through the wood and hit the ground because they can break the ax so what I like to do is just change my stance so instead of my axe head includes the ground now can head through my legs I'm gonna be very careful but I got my legs very wide all right I'm gonna go very slow real slow she dancin egg to let them run away sex yep see I'm almost through throw couple little cuts it again see them went through nice and gentle nice and safe now we got our love so we can put our canoe up off the ground that's one log we need to ok you go slow yep they're bugs in there and we're through

alright

so I keep it stored into this pine tree right here

the way it gives it a layer of protection from the rain the wind you know things like that put it on its on its crib underneath there get it up off the ground if you don't want to canoe touching the ground is as the rain runs off of it or as the ground gets wet the moisture and things like that or from the from the plants breathing releasing that moisture carbon dioxide on that so we throw a couple logs down as a crib to elevate it up off the ground those not touching the wet ground and I'm going to keep you underneath this pine just for a little protection okay so I want to make sure that I'm a bump it down take my rope put it inside yep so it's protected by rain all right let's get see it's not a rain so this is a good timing I just put it underneath the seat so that's up off the ground as well so the wind can't blow it out of there anything like that

alright commissioner survival appreciate your views you come to sport you guys the next one take
