Hey everyone, thank you for watching, this was filmed on top of a mountain, with 2 of my brothers, Went exploring at night and caught a toad. It rained on us all night long. I decided to post this because it shows that starting a fire after a long night of rain is completely possible.

In this solo hammock camping winter thing i'm going to test my ability to use what I learned in the feather sticking video prior to this one to see if I can get a fire going, in actual conditions. A viewer of mine Grumpy Grunt pointed out the one reason that A nerd would need to know how to make feather sticks, when It rains a lot everything gets soaked except the inside of dead trees. If you can split off the wet outer layer and create some feather sticks with the dry inner layer you could get a fire going. Which gives me a video idea: x amount of ways to start a fire in rain. Anyway this was fun to record, fun to do, and almost fun to edit =) Thank you for watching! ***SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS!*** https://www.youtube.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy/example?sub_confirmation=1 Social Media stuff and things: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalfInsaneOutdoorguy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/InsaneOutDoor Instagram (what's this for?): https://www.instagram.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy/ Patreon (work in progress): https://www.patreon.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy SubscribeStar!!

Not a typical video for my channel but so many people wanted to watch it I put it up here to share it. November 7th Speaking about an experience I had a the tomb of the unknown soldier in Julyish of 2011. Thank you for watching.

Wasn't going to upload this, but decided what the heck...Even if I dont like the steel I can still do a review. Just might not be the most positive hah These are my thoughts on the new (ish) Mora Companion Spark. I think the target audience for this knife is a more hiker camper oriented crowd. Not sure exactly, but I dont find it to be as good as most other mora knives...the robust for example, Much cheaper, seemingly higher quality. Anway, take it for what it's worth.

I found this old BSA hatchet at a local thrift shop a few years ago. Decided time was right to give it a makeover. I did end up putting a really nice mirror finish on the head, I thought it would just look a lot nicer with that slick black burned handle. Forgive me for my mistakes, i'm a beginner with tool restorations! hah, (and woodworking.) You can see this hatchet in action here: https://youtu.be/RkeMFClBdhc Thank you again for watching! I'm working on a couple more videos that i've already recorded, including a few more restorations (getting yours done Axe Fairy! hahah)It just takes me a while because...I'm really bad at editing haha, know a good editor anyone? =D ***SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS!*** https://www.youtube.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy/example?sub_confirmation=1 Social Media stuff and things: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalfInsaneOutdoorguy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/InsaneOutDoor Instagram (what's this for?): https://www.instagram.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy/ Patreon (work in progress): https://www.patreon.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy SubscribeStar!!

Wanted to toss you my opinions regarding what saws are best. I've got around a dozen saws, and by far from my experiences the fixed blade silky saws are better than any other saw for outdoor use. They do have 1 major draw back which I go into in this video.

In this video I learn how to start a friction fire with the aid of some old discarded .22 ammunition. Please be careful if you attempt this. The smokeless powder used in ammunition is very flammable and burns very hot! Serious injury can occur if not used properly. That said I am not responsible for your actions, so do your own research and self-education. This was a fun one to do, and adds a very valuable way to start a fire if you're out hunting or even hiking and get lost.

Hey viewers! thank you for checking this video out. If you have any questions or suggestions please dont hesitate to leave them below! In this video i'll explain how to build a wooden rocket stove with both power tools, different auger bits, and by hand when you're out in the bush in good ol' fashioned show offy bushcraft way!

Editors note: Please read with LOTS OF SARCASM...i certainly heaped it on when I wrote this: Ok first off guys/gals, this wasn't ever a video (or skill for that matter) that I ever intended to learn. Its something that is 110% not useful. No really I do believe that. I haven't been in or cant even name a time when I would NEED this skill. Its just fun to do. That's it. Trees make little things that after years of higher education I learned were called "twigs" I know, sounds like a name you'd put on a shirt to show you were tolerant of some non-binary group of people...but trust me I'm an expert...They are really called "twigs". They are very flammable when dry and grow on most trees I think. so just get some of them and save yourself 20 minutes of knife dulling hand pain. So with that all huge paragraph to the face said...or rather written...here we are. Learning to make feather sticks, and it only took an hour of my life...an hour I'll never get back...ya me. Anyway THANK YOU for watching! I hope you enjoy...Its not my best work...but my best still isn't much =) ***SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS!*** https://www.youtube.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy/example?sub_confirmation=1 Social Media stuff and things: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalfInsaneOutdoorguy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/InsaneOutDoor Instagram (what's this for?): https://www.instagram.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy/ Patreon (work in progress): https://www.patreon.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy SubscribeStar!!

if you're anything like me you'll want the best. when I first started out I had a hard time getting out into the woods with a 10 pound zero degree (f) sleeping bag, a heavy hatchet, a cheap off brand "Dollar store" like saw, and a mora knife. But I didnt let it stop me. Since then I've found what works, and what doesn't. The price tag does NOT indicate its quality, or usefulness.

It's been awhile since I posted a video and for that I apologize. Working on a very long 1k sub overnighter. Fun stuff =) Anyway! as the text says knowing how to start fire and doing it well can save your life! so pay attention, and practice! Like any skill the more you do it the better you get and easier it seems. I dun goofed my camera settings and recorded this at HD 60fps instead of FHD 24fps. forgive this nerd =) (did a critter highlight at the wrong settings too...heat has scrambled the brain!

This is a video of me demonstrating that smoke burns, and also how to make a wooden rocket stove.

In this video I'm going to demonstrate how to start fire starting with snow, (of course you have to melt it first!...I imagine though you could do it with a nice clear icicle...Hmm...) 1) gather snow in a clear plastic bag 2) Place the bag near your core while you do some kind of strenuous activity to gather fire wood. OR place NEAR a heat source warm enough to melt snow. On a dark covered tarp in bright sun for example. 3) Gather wood, and fine material to make a birds nest with, large is better! 4) process your wood into small (pencil lead) to medium (thumb thick max) and finally large, for good coal bed. 5) wrap the bag of water tight to make a bulb like object, and use it like a magnifying glass 6) focus it on the birds nest, once you see smoke GENTLY start blowing on it until an ember forms. 7) "cup" the birds nest over the ember and keep blowing until it bursts into flame. 8) ??? 9) win.

As promised COMMENT BELOW FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A MORA ROBUST With a slight modification to the spine to make it sharp enough to strike a ferro rod. Again thank you so much.

Saw this knife at ol' wally world for 10 bone chips. Saw the "titanium bonded" spew and decided to test it out. Titanium has a RC of 35-40, Stainless is usually between 55 ad 58. Carbon steel is usually in the 58-63 range. The higher you get the more hard the steel is but also the more brittle it gets. Binding TI with Stainless is done through a process of infusion with AG-CU28. That is 72% Silver, and 28% Copper. Titanium, Silver, and Copper are not cheap metals...so how is this knife only 10 bucks? And how well will it actually perform. we are going to find out soon.

Decided to do a more traditional survivor bushcraft video. Normally I dont do a lot of traditional bushcraft things since they are mostly gimmicks, I opt for getting out into nature, having a good relaxing time, and just enjoying the silence. I may keep doing these as they are much easier to edit. Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoy. Let me know if you like this silent format better or worse or whatever. ***SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS!*** https://www.youtube.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy/example?sub_confirmation=1 Social Media stuff and things: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalfInsaneOutdoorguy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/InsaneOutDoor Instagram (what's this for?): https://www.instagram.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy/ Patreon (work in progress): https://www.patreon.com/halfinsaneoutdoorguy SubscribeStar!!
