The Survival Russia Channel is about "The Reality Of Survival". I live on a Homestead in far away Russian wild nature and here are no room for "TV" Survival.

Only Reality counts here. Survival Russia promotes the philosophy of always carrying equipment and never to be parted from equipment which will affect chances of Survival.

So did the old timers and pioneers of both the East and the West.

Get Out and Train and Get it Done!

Video Transcription

so today I want to show you a technique I've used for quite a few years actually on how to make kindling from a log from a dead standing or whatever without abusing my knife if that's my only option this video relates a lot to the is knife patterning really needed video I will link to up here but the technique I want to show you today is it's a whole technique and I've shown that in at least one video but it's like a few years ago I was in the earlier stages of video making and my camera was not so good

speaking about cameras something is different and weird isn't it guys you sponsored me a new camera or an additional camera that is awesome we have it up here with the awesome it's a Panasonic camera

it's HC v 7 7 0 model it's pretty awesome model it's not a 4k of course because I don't really need four K at the moment I'm very very happy it's really really awesome it's gonna make things a lot better I think and I hope anyway I'm not managed to get the sound settings on the Panasonic as good as on this Sony here because the Sony camera here Sony did it all for me it's just proven play and the sound is awesome on the zone it's still not so much on the expand sonic but this gets back to the topic guys and thank you very very much I'm really grateful really awesome we're at the homestead training old training camp here because I have my five-year-old daughter with me for the next few weeks two weeks or something I'll be grounded here with him so most of the videos will be down here but we will get on with the serious stuff later have to build a new boo winter camp and all that cool stuff I will do my best to upload on Saturdays and Sundays as usual but no midweek videos I will do it if I can what we will need to make anything out of a piece of a log here so cause I saw because we would not have such a piece of a log without a soul and we would not need to use our knife if we had a X and got our log the X way so to speak I use this technique here for quite a few years as I said I used it mostly in winter when I've been had a steady winter camp and I've been using up most of the spruce and pine branches in the immediate area and when you're on + 1 meter of snow then sometimes it's just I think it just make it all okay so the first tip includes of course a piece of a log this is a pine here some knots where the branches have been up here where some knots so I caught them all so we have a nice clean break down here and now once you've cut around the log when I'm done cutting I'll get back to you so as you can see I cut the log now take two of my knives and hit them on the spine with a stick and and some of you might think that what you said in the video overturning is not needed and yeah I think putana is really not needed and I don't really consider this pitoni maybe you can call it light patterning I like to refer to it as tapping any knife should be able to do that but but to start to split a log like this and an even thicker with sitting and feeding the crap out of it with a stick a stick as my arm and so on that is not so you can see this knife here it's not really that's thick it's about three millimeters or something but this cut here is doing for me is that I don't need to to put a lot of pressure on the blade to tap down through it and split it out that's why and have a look see how it works and listen halfway down I can feel there's no resistance any longer really more on this angle here click didn't have to go further than this and the log is already split these ones here is very easy to split of course this is how I produce tinder if I need to produce into other ways and connecting it and some of you might ask yeah why not just cut it all the way around because in winter when you're surrounded by a plus 1 meter of snow and frozen ground the working position here is much more comfortable and much safer and also I don't need to smash my plates potentially into the frozen ground and this and that if I don't have a chopping block and so on anyway this is just much more comfy please check the links in the description also there are links to the blog and to Facebook and this and that and don't forget to check in on Saturdays and Sundays for more videos and as always get out and train and get it done see you next time in Russia thank you guys
