DON’T BREAK THAT LIGHTER THAT HAS RUN OUT OF FUEL
IT STILL MAKES SPARKS !!!!!!!!
Fully valid tips….. But you have to clarify, regarding tips like using duct for lighting fires. And that is that you should never, burn plastic unless your life actually is in danger. Bc its very bad for the environment and also your lungs
Very good video, with basic woods know how, that most people are lacking, kinda like common sense not being so common anymore. Like your channel, new subscriber!!!
Damn. I got some good stuff here. Thank you. Im very impressed. Wow i knew one and only one. The boot laces and i learned it simply by being so cheap. I thought hmm 12 bucks for more cotton 3 day boot laces or 4 bucks for 100ft of paracord. I even do my lace tips the same. Again thank you
OH YEAH STOP BUYING FUEL LIGHTERS
BUY THEM USB RECHARGEABLE LIGHTERS THAT PRODUCES ELECTRICITY … BURNS GREAT AND ALSO ACTS AS A TAZER
TWO IS 1 AND 1 IS NONE .. LOL
The striker rod can be easily converted into nighttime pyrotechnics that will keep the wolves and coyotes and ninjas guessing.
I’ve been doing the boot lace thing for a long time.. the second time I was late to work and my boot lace broke I decided, never again ha.
Take those new boot laces and get them wet;rub them good with wood ashes in your hands—when they dry,use them—they won’t slip….
I’ve broken paracord boot laces and you need to consider this. If you spend time cutting steel with an oxy-acetylene torch, you are likely to burn through the paracord laces. It doesn’t take much. If you are a structural ironworker, you often don’t get to choose where your feet are relative to where the sparks are falling. Leather laces don’t burn but they do stretch.
Try survival cord. I wish it was possible to send a picture. I have two raid deployment bands that locks on my boot . There a compass on one and a farro rod inserted in the other. I made them. I like the paracord idea for shoe laces. Farro rod tipped laces are available.

Boy, the Clingons you’d get from using some moss to wipee your a**, awful!
Thank you, I will await any more informative videos you make. The lighter out of fuel, the fir tree/sap antiseptic, and paracord laces were new to me:)
Great stuff… And i just replaced my laces with paracord ( which i have tons of ).
Mostly good, but chiggers love all kinds of moss. I would not wipe my butt with that. You’ll only need to get chiggers down there once in your life and you’ll never forget. Better to wash your butt in a creek or something.
That lighter hack is so helpful I might try to start a fire with that tip.
Do not listen to this man about axes. Boot laces… fine.
Don’t intentionally twist the head.
Don’t stop your follow through 4 inches after the cut.
Yes, spread your legs, but your motion should be down, not towards yourself, ever.
If it goes through your block, it should hit soil. And then more soil.
Down.

6:28 out in the bush you find wood cut with a big saw?
so great, thank you for sharing❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I frequent the rockies and mullen is everywhere. Also known as cowboy toilet paper… why moss? Clean, soft mullen leaves. Alt uses; you can have mullen tea, mullen cigerette, dressing for wound, respiratory medicine.
Butt paper too.
One way to keep your boot (or shoe) laces from coming untied is to "go around the tree" twice and tie as usual…still unties with your typical pull of one of the ends – doesn’t knot!
man is an expert minecrafter
One of the few videos on YouTube that actually has value
Thanks
Excellent
Careful when melting the ends of the paracord – they basically become napalm. If the cord drips on skin, you WILL have a scar.
Thank you for informing me not to wipe my ass with a pine cone.
Awesome. Make more vids
Pitch is sticky and should not be used on burns.
Great video
About your last tip
Lost of tiny creatures in their
Very interesting ideas.
Excellent information
Paracord on boots 🎉 genius
Great video.
What type of fir tree was that?
Smart survival 👍👍👍👍👍
We don’t have wood like that Down Under. 97% of our wood is Hard wood. We need a log splitter. Love to have your wood.
0:10 yall i hope know better and are aware to get a BIC LIGHTER … not that chincy lighter bro has….. those WILL fail on you…. Guaranteed

"bug dope" had me dying.🤣🤣🤣
i like men
I’m here for the hotness 😊. Not sure why this video popped up.
6:30 won’t that generate a lot of torsion in your wrists?
The way that tree caught the pine cone. 😂 Great video, Clay.

Great tips 😇👍🏾❤️#noireport
6:25 is there a special way to dry wood in the backyard?
These things where known to us in grade 5 ?? what grade did you finish ???
Cool buttt ( excuse the pun) shouldn’t you advise folk to search the fluffy but wipe for bugs or sharp bits (there i go again😢😂😅)and tell them to dig a hole and bury it all, for many reasons.
I l8ked your topics and would hope you made mode videos. Chow
