Yeah, begging for subs and thumbs up is very annoying, just like ads. So this is really nice to be free of this stuff here. 👍🏻

In the winter that cattail fluff can also be used for insulation purposes. Take it and stuff it between your outer layer and the one beneath that, stuff it down the arms, around the body and any place you can get it. Tie a cord around your lower waste first to keep it from falling out the bottom. It works very well to keep you warm in freezing temps. Back in the early 1970s I sewed the ends of sleeves, fronts and bottoms of two shirts together and stuffed them with cattail fluff and it was almost like a down jacket. Very warm.

Just to let you know I’m a scaffolder and the clove hitch is what we use to pull our tubes up on a rope and wheel

@5:20 Just a note that the very best fish to use for a lamp is (I assume) Eulachon, which is native to the pacific northwest and is so fatty during spawning that you can dry it and burn the whole thing, hence its nickname "candlefish". Never done it myself though.

Possibly the only time I’m glad I didn’t have my 4 and 5 year olds with me watching this! They LOVE Pombears and would have wanted my to show them that it actually works as well as wanting a bag each to eat 😂 keep up the great work mate! Looking forward to following and joining you on this years journeys!!

Thanks for the ladder build tutorial. This was really helpful.

Amazing. No fluff, no begging for likes, just skill after skill after skill! Thank you!

I want lifestyle like this fr

This channel is so clear and informative, I love it.

Thanks!

Another use for the cattails or any other seed pod like that is to use it for a wind direction indicator while deer hunting instead of those puff things.. It's free and most times you can pick some up on the way to the stand. Cool video!!👍👍

Best 12 minutes of my entire day, I watched it twice - thank you so much for sharing! I will try this in the woods this spring way up north

Really good editing and filming. Congratulations great work

Hi Mike! I'm 12 and we talked a while back. For the holidays I got Dave Canterbury's set of four Bushcraft books. And that got me thinking. Have you thought about writing a Bushcraft book? I think you're one of the best people for that. You are great at explaining things, and you're also good at demonstrating how to do things. Well, please consider this..... You did a great job with the video. Thanks!😀

TA Outdoors, congratulations on surviving the changing Bushcraft Algorithm. I've been a bushcrafter for over 20 years and am amazed at how ornate the "bushcraft" genre has become. yet you manage to maintain your position even though you are not wearing a spandex shirt that inspires the mind to wander.

At some point TA will achieve the ultimate, and provide 10 tips in 10 seconds.

Awesome tips brother! Always a pleasure to absorb the knowledge that you share with us!!!

Information density 👍👍👍👍. This is how you should make KZread content!

Great presentation, smooth delivery of useful tips.

Very good tips, really useful. Sometimes people make similar videos with weird and silly "tips", but yours are really sensible and practical. ❤👍🏻

First to comment..lol

thanks so much, i found that the ladder really helped me removing wett branches from the top of my shelter

I'm from Brazil and the cattail plant is everywhere in the swamps and lakes here too

You are one of the best KZreadrs in my opinion. You’re very informational and i grew up watching you. Cheers!

Super cool tips.

never in my life did i think i'd see a pombear get incinerated to start a fire.

These tips videos are FANTASTIC 👍😁

That backpack hanger is so simple and yet such a nice idea. Thanks.

All your content is so valuable mate....really appreciate your work. Thanks from South Australia.

Always enjoyed your knowledge on the woods and craft

Cheers man. God Bless.

You get to business with it without the preamble- great video.

The rucksack tip is epic, I usually dump mine on the floor n wonder what it maybe sat in.

Thankx Mike

Great tips, thank you TA!😃

love it . thank you TA.

Amazing tips. May I just say about the fish oil lantern - fascinating, and, ew. 😬 Great as always, Mike. Thanks!

Great tips! Thank you very much.

Thanks for this instructional video Mike. 😁👍🏼

Love it a lot, often the easiest things are the best

Nice tips. Have fun stay safe.

Terrific! Thank you for sharing! 🙏👍✌️🇬🇧

Some really amazing ideas in this video. Thank you.

Keep em coming

He is a mans man but with a heart of gold

Great Video Mike. Thanks Much... Mike M.

I've seen ladders with marlin spike hitches but never like that before. That's cool. So is everything else you showed for that matter.

Hi ,thanks for the ladder tip. One of my first tips of survival is to make a spear shaft to attach my dagger or knife too, as a spear is an excellent hunting and defence weapon or .. Make your hiking stick adaptable to accept the knife as a spear handle prior to hikes. I take fairy or cake candles &strips of polystyrene for fire starters in a coin plastic for waterproofing.. For an emergency candle wick a piece of shoelace works great...

Great product, Dave

Excellent tips as always! You're a master. Thank you.

love your videos Mike. Could you do one on knots someday please?

Happy New Year Mike and thanks for this video.

Good stuff amigo. I particularly like the ladder... definitely have to try that one soon.

I love this channel 💙

THANK YOU

Awesome video .. one of the best channels on KZread

always interesting you must go on !

Happy new year and thank you for the tips . Keep up the cool vid's.

Hooray he is back

It should be noted that notching where you want your ladder rungs to sit will increase stability and reduce the likelihood of injury.

Like deployed 👍

Great tips

I use Shea oil for all the above mentioned things including as lip salve and for cuts on the skin. Shea oil is a really good all purpose‘remedy’. Thanks for the video 👌

Keep it up great video

I like the kindling trick. Never thought to tie it. I like to grill, camp, and, I have a fireplace. So I make a lot of starter wood. Also we have cattails here in Texas. My grandpa taught me how to use it for tinder.

Super.

We missed you🍁🍁🍁

Well done mate 🤝👊

Superb!!!

I like the ladder trick.

Nice vid thanx

You know it’s a good evening when TA drops a vid

Remember guys, the length of the poles determines the height of the ladder. :)

Awesome

Sir you are a great

Cool, you rock 👌🔥🤘🍻💯

Luar biasa .....tetap semangat😊

thx m8

Amazing, get to the point content, no fluff. I love those. Most people would drag a 30 second video into a 10 min one. When *you* put 10 minute's worth of tips, it's exactly that: 10 minutes packed with useful tips. I can't wait to try what you've just shown. Thanks for sharing!

Great...

First view keep going buddie

Thanks for another great video. I wonder, which shoes are you using for survival and bushcraft journeys?

Some seriously superb content. In a world of social media fake BS. Both yours and your dads channels are highly appreciated mate.

When using cooking oil to oil blades I recommend to use peanut oil cause bacteria can't grow in it. It won't rot. So you don't have to worry about the blades smelling bad after time or cleaning oil fully off when cooking.

Good afternoon and thank you! Tell me what kind of backpack you have, model?

Noooo not the Pom bears 😂. Great tips though, thank you 🙏🏼

I'm very interested in how to harvest and prepare cattail for eating. Really want to try it. A series of wild edibles would be nice. But not just identification but actually making a meal and eating them.

0:51 Thanks God he placed his palm behind the ends of the cord, now I can see the most important step of the progress, the ends of the cord.

When will the TA Trekker backpack be available again? It's exactly what I've been looking for.

Can make a better smelling candle out of an orange and olive oil. And it smells good and keeps away some bugs

what backpack is that at 9:50? also love your videos

Video rất tuyệt

If the pack isn't too heavy, a trekking pole will work for holding it on a tree also. (Handy for the midday stop, but not if you need it to hold up your shelter.)

Good to see you back in the woods sharing some bushcraft skills. You could say I'm 'lichen' it 😂.

That’s in the next one!

On fire starting. One of the best tools I know is a pencil sharpener. It is one of the only blades I know of that will pass TSA with nary a glance. They come in 2 sixes. The standard kids school one and one for sharpening thore wide and flat carpenter pencils. Take a stick of the appropriate size and grind away. You will generate a pile of paper thin wood shavings faster than a fuze stick with a knife. These ultra thin shavings easily light from a spark from a fire steel. Even if the stick is wet only the outer edges are damp the rest is bone dry. And you are left with a pointy stick which could prove useful. In an emergence and you are in a situation you don't have a knife. You could break the plastic and have a sharp cutting tool.Yes such a blage it tiny it could open up fish or skin small game.

👍👍

How long can you keep cattails in storage ???

Where did you get the hatchet my brother

👍

Or you could just use 2 long branches with the smaller branches still attached, but cut shorter, then use your shorter step branches resting on these protrusions, you can use your cords to keep the whole thing together ❤
