Jungle knots are great used them for a while but trc went the extra mile and added the storage pouches, so of course had to get them and never looked back 😉

Yeah the pouches are really cool, make everything neat and tidy.
Single use is really annoying. I try to do research to find products that last. I have a TV I bought in 1983 & it still works great. I haven't bought garbage bags for over 3 decades. I seriously applaud the Ocean Cleanup Project. Thank you for setting a great example.

When scraping the birch bark, you don't need to use your blade. The square edge of a 90° spine works fine. Without dulling your blade. The same way you do with the fero rod.

I usually do that, I also scrape some really fine wood shavings with the back of the knife. I'm actually trying to see the practical difference in couple of knife steels I use so I'm using the blade for everything.

Thanks Paul! Well, I have two DD's and couple others and I prefer DD's. This is the Frontline model and it's the "whole package" with double layers and a bug net. Only thing I don't like, and the same goes for all others I have, is that they come with really bulky and heavy cordage. I replaced mine with whoopie slings.

Hi! How many liters of water do you carry for 24 hours when there is no snow? Thank you!

Oh, that depends where I'm going. If there's a stream or water in walking distance I usually take just 2L but if there's no water nearby at least double that. I can do without much water but I have to carry extra for my dog, he runs a lot and drinks a lot - probably more than I do.

Hello Frosty, unfortunately I didn't really understand the Jungle Knots. It would be nice if you could explain that more clearly. As for eating Tref, you found a good solution. That way he won't eat too greedily (which could also cause problems with his stomach) and won't get fat. Greetings from Germany, Selfmade. 👍
@frostys_bushcraft
Жыл бұрын
Thanks! Sorry for not showing it better, it's so simple that I literally forgot to film some things. Basically it's two strands of rope with knots every 4" and you tie it by feeding a knot between the strands. The tension keeps the strands tight and they hold the knot in place.

@@selfmade6142 Frosty wrapped the double line around the tree... The line has the knots on the ends for about 18"...

@@frostys_bushcraft FROSTY... Here's an idea for you about the jungle tie-offs ! Take a 1 1/2 meter long, 6.5 mm nylon cord... ( 4 ft long, 1/4 inch thick )... Melt and press the ends together so they won't fray apart...BTW You stretch the cord out on the floor @ home ... You then thread a large (6cm) metal washer on the rope so it's going through the washer's hole & pull both cords until each line is equal again... this makes a loop at the side of the washer, where you put a large ziptie to make it tight against the side of the washer & then use more large black zipties to fasten the 2 ropes together starting with the loop end... you put a ziptie every 14-16cm apart, making sure they are very tight... You can then put the washer (after getting it around the tree) through the middle of the twin ropes just in front of one of the zipties and use a wire hook/stick through the washer hole to make sure it stays locked in place... you understand ? The washer acts like a huge knot, but it will easily slip through the ropes when they are stretched out & stay in place ! You can also use the washer as a hooking point for other ropes using wire hooks ! The zipties make much tighter knots than the ropes by themselves.
