hello guys today it's a cold and a bit cloudy but it's a beautiful morning anyway we are going to have a hiker on a steeper trail and a good fire in Nevada sometimes way along the trail you will find a business that will help you to start a fire like this this one this is a bark of one of these three around here and it's perfect to start your fire just this way

and this is the perfect material to make a bird nest and start your fire it will catch the spark in a moment this is the view from the top and yeah as you can see we are under a roof of clouds hopefully they don't follow them on me also this type of good is a really perfect to make a char would you see the Sun would is the soft touch if you put it inside the small box and put it inside the fire you can make a soft wood perfect to start your fire and you can you can use the yes like this this is perfect a perfect material I have just seen a couple of deer running down there as soon as they catch my presence and of course my quiet dog I usually prefer to find a spot with a good view on the top of the mountain because I like to eat with a good view but in this case I will a campfire in this wood because it's full of dead wood as you can see and plenty of wood to make a fire and also this place here it's perfect for my purpose so let's start one of the good things about parkour as many of you who knows already knows is that they are made of many cords inside and if you all don't have to to take much weight you can use each of them eventually to fix your tarp if there is not much wind or two other a small tasks throw in a case of emergency this will give you instead of one single piece of cord like this will give you instead 660 I think six or seven piece of small cords for small jobs in this case I will use it this just one piece to take the weight off my back one piece of this and this it's a are you having my right back but as you can see as you can see no problem single cord

now this is the piece of equipment that I told you before this is a hobo stove that I made and inside we have a the kit to cook let's see inside this we have a rice and a glass full of tea this is stainless and inside you find the measure for also here or the water first we make about tuna Wow nice what will provide some wood for my a fire

ESET is wood for my fire I will use also this net piece of Barker that I found along the trail to start the fire and also some pieces like this will be good just we make some feathers nothing fancy just some good material to start the fire this is a really small furnace but I think we can use it anyway to be better to rather something else some other material

with a pot like this and that is a height instead of large is a more difficult difficult to cook rice or eventually anything else but it's also much much more easy to carry around in the backpack the big advantage of the Oba stove is that you really need the small 20 quantity of wood to cook you can take our also much a heat coming from this is more fire this is what you needed to warm us myself warm yourself in a winter day hmm tastes really good then you grab just two sticks around and put them inside protect and give your body it would be better if you have a rock or something around in my back but it's okay anyway sometimes I mean I like to sign the the tracks the trail my path with a feather stick I put it in a place where I clearly can be seen from a distance you see the trailer is there I know that is a right-hander the sign of the Detroit but I haven't put it there just to show you usually I put it where I can find a good sign and that helps me to find a way back home in the meantime these days I'm testing the helmick's a steel

I've made as I said a knife in Lmax and Enza life 115 centimeters and I want to see how how wood is a the edger attention they said they said that it really keeps the edge very well but I'm not sure about that because on the first exit batoning a good log full of knots I've encountered the some chips - chips on the blade anyway as I said I have this I have had this a smaller problem to the edge that I have correct corrected with the water stones and now that the edge is perfect again I will try to if it's been a just a problem of a particularly other wood or it's a steel that is not made for me and for my style of knife because using the Azula or the bushcraft knife from the Spyderco made in no one I've never had this type of problems I know that for many of you don't like to Mattoon the knives and if you like to take with you the X every time i perfectly agree agree with you but for me sometimes I like to use in the knife for that also because otherwise I will take with me just a small knife because if you don't use it use it to battle you don't need the big knife and the large blade along the blade so for me it's important that can stand the battling with no problem beautiful beautiful of this you see we have a this a chain to grab because the puff is really narrow for me it's not essential this type of a chain but for someone could be of some use [Music]
