Oh

brand new on issue [Music]

[Applause]

so you gotta pull the trigger Mitch come on

cool I think I'm gonna begin cool new spot yeah

wait mom I actually think with the two poles you got there I think that's going to clear up the spoke a decent amount on bitches let me see ash will clean the pants but she does a decent job knock on the rock I will put absolutely we check to see how that thing we don't want it really up oil in the water so in the big pot yeah then you get your lighter I could go get more light I think one of my favorite things recently with video editing is fun it's finding the right music I use a lot of like a easel a lot of the YouTube fader stop and I always try to find the right music to the right video I try to use as look like little little off as possible here's my stole cooling down

taut line hitch Malcolm what's adjustable

we're always says we always have a pretty big baguette to make a salad bought football for tonight Smith James make it a soup bowl for tonight

which will you ever check that to see how it's doing don't drop something when you do it that guy don't be that guy hook here yeah Apple guy trust me heavy so trying to take the grandfather clock you know and I was trying to but it was like can't breathe yeah thing of beauty knocking my off yeah 50 bucks for that cheer tonight oh you all right whoa would you know okay roll with it snores yeah yeah yeah he goes to bed early yeah I taught them uh by texting yeah absolutely

yeah if I could do that every day for a beginning one exercise at the at the weddings because well when you come from the family that I do when you're at what age you just don't so why is this good get into a scenario like this weekend cold rainy weather just go out and make fresh camps just start off making pies so that would be the solution fire start which is building your campus legit fire their water source okay so carving it's all about condition has to be dead they can't be dry raw Zenit runs crumbly as you carve brothers will lift up and then they'll like dragnet just not really be there you cut them in style so you don't want dry rot humbly we always want a car on a down that allows my knife go along the whole curve they go on a convex hill every single feather question if you like how fast should you stay away from notes yeah absolutely not so problem your knots what they won't change the cadence be going on set up a cot and then I'll go try to skip through or skip through you're probably gonna blow your router so obvious they're like a half an inch above

and if you have to if you only had two inches here I mean that would be an awful photo stick because you don't like as long as you can get it full arm and it's gonna be you know or not a little feather stick it'll be like it look at 55 right turkey legs free of knots is the very next point why fine it's really good notes very organized knots it's not world technique well if you have a light car heavy car you get different curls a heavy car when you're putting a lot into it you're gonna get more meat you're gonna get stuff that will take longer to burn and be more like fuel the real light stuff you can just get it so it's you know almost Eva so rates from the wind you can see through it and the Sun gravity will pull it down like Harry a lot of split rain exposed that's what you make a little pile that's where you put your spark on whatever it is and if you're making a feather stick your vantage make those when you get to the spot that would be in the middle you make that section a little circle of it really like and then you continue with your heart around it so you have a two-stage tuna bundle just in the cartons let's see looking for an initial burst like carving is good for that you can have carving so thick that even if you have birch bark handle playing put it over it it won't catch will go I'll need something more substantial it's always best even when you think you're 100% to give some light ones put those on the flame first it will climb and then I'll catch the rest I've seen that happen a lot actually and we'll take a plane Morales is usually when you have to rely on a feathers think that much it's because it's like this you spend an hour so long strokes long curls line the ridges mine the ridges is very important

the ridges on the carbs are every time you carve right nine o'clock creates a ridge on each side now if I go to the middle from their car that Ridge you create another ridge in the middle and the ridge here they can go to this one right so two becomes three four five six three cuts six everyone makes two now as I follow those ridges like the one right in the middle right now it gives me purchase and a very thin crown I've been going to need almost like a triangle carve underneath the triangle that's how you get reticle curls

you mind your ridges and you run them down and you pay attention a we created if you look at the light a certain way from there

you can see every single Ridge with a stick

so the ridges are how you take it to the next level

be sure not just like Harvick see what happens you're doing it in a very like geometric fashion see use like I said for tender fell recognition didn't bundle members to music November's and we can do bow drove and drove char cloth ember a module amber chaga amber char cattail Cedric Cedric obviously power-efficient sparks and you can come to this conclusion about ball rod you know this is from steel some of these numbers of the charcloth cattail for chaga the ham ado goes all work with don't steal for tonight in our case of the courts so for kindling it's very explosive two to five at a time forming into a teepee it allows it to climb really fast there's a nice wide circle that's burning strong they're just like stacking so good for growing flames already have a flame that already exists right so birch bark scrape like I said or match these are like money with matches and it's a rebuild your fire from an old hot spot the next morning that's a big one next morning good Ashley's try to find a hot spot you sticks not your hand to move stuff around look field that's right in a tiny bit spread of too much you can let all that go just still focus in on it carve a super fine one and then two thick ones a super fine one right on there and then just kind of agitate it see if it starts smoking if it does leave it alone I'll just start smoking heavy almost as if it's in the bone already the rest of the plane so I'll give it to above it and it will usually ignite on its own from there and then all three are going and now you just putting your twigs on doing your thing waste any resources at all except the edge okay so I'll round it up use benefits in any condition in any season episode 94 regardless of situation you can make letter straight to Starfire as long as you have the material that sticks music builds a fire you have a fire zone so feather stick is not just something that looks cool not something that's fun it's actually one of the most important solutions to wilderness travel and living especially in adverse conditions when it counts feather sticks stay away from Volk has the growth stuff should be looking at I know you don't have talking about it's very it's very vigorous inside it has a very like very strong-willed grain that's very why is that grain and I find that if I go to spin on it the growth rings still be like almost no but it's like too crumbly almost even me even when it's not probably so stable everything else is pretty much games you can make it focus they got a beach fine maples anything in signifies sassafras it's irrelevant but the geometry of how it grows so mind the nodes and pay attention more to that instead of cutting out Oh maple is bad because of or cedar is bad because Sita has always not she's not so good once in a while you're running to a piece of cedar instead of erasing it from your brain not even seeing I'm looking for about instead all of a sudden you find that one piece that like just happens to have that big section in the middle you like amazing almost like kind no knots for a foot so think of the principles more than the fight I've made feather sticks out of stuff that you never would imagine but I find that boat especially it works good to find your real thick stuff you can do it but you not be able to get the big ball more often a knot will just Rosina knock off it continue as you normally would do so you would have a person put the curls on any other questions how do you prevent yourself from knocking the curls off good question this isn't obviously what I'd be using with this and carve off to the side so as you go if you aim your blade up break it off instead white people and what you're doing is he going through the growth rings going to underneath a layer and creating a layer right into me every single one and if you slide out exactly what your blade was and you won't break them off another thing when you angle the helps and the more played you use the more curl it creates put that girl in there it's another way to make sure that you can get as much curl as you can we just much blade as you can and I would never use this this absolutely has

and if I did it would be the other side of this is I mean my spoon on it because it has the opposite Bend this way a be using the whole thing you know I want it to be this one this is what you want chest lower chest the worst that's at least elbow if you can get it up to like your breast man and it really just be gentle and all the way down the safest is lowest then you get less quality we go to high and slip you can cut yourself so there's like a balance between comfort ability like how comfortable you are off the tool all familiar what you're able to do there's no knots never try a hike there's all these little details and what you just do it and do it do it the outcome

oh right on drop well I'll meet you guys on the car so I gotta move some things around to make them for Shane anyway I don't ride doctor I love it who else is uh is anyone coming with Gary night that piece right in the middle man right here yep now that that petunia nice it should be bump boil and it's not anyone else well I'm gonna be coming in behind you in a second no thanks [Applause]

a lot of clutter we might want to get more wouldnít no there's no like meet sometime you know just all plain real taste oh yeah and sometimes I put a bunch of spices this is simple Brenda all those spices mental state cook on a rock in the fourth doesn't taste much different than when we cook those boys a bit more time like that now this is what a plain world this yeah we got we got we got like three Peter back to like another big bag at all you still have those two pitches down
