Video Transcription

ah hello youtube and welcome to the native survival show I am your regularly scheduled host Mitch Mitchell thank you for joining us today we have a packed show for you today I'm on a day camp right on yeah so I just Pat I just parked my large metallic pack animal and water camera case backpack snug pack version why am i rocking such a big rock right now well little Rockets have my things that I'm bringing you know food whatever I have a wool blanket in there other than that it's all parachute this is my parachute bag and a parachute takes a good 70 liters Oh about 50 liters it's a pretty big bat it's a pretty big parachute right on let's go to camp but before we go to camp make sure you stick around for the word from our sponsors [Music]

all right so we are in camp it was like four inches of snow on the ground I already started unearthing a fire pit a little bit snowy out it's like that wet kind of slushy snow all right parachute time [Music]

there's use a stick pretty good at it I get it was in a couple you know up another crook of the tree but my buddy Nick used to be an arborist like climb trees for a living kind of thing he says Rock is better and he likes to use a rock so I'm gonna try that try his way this rock is bigger than I want it to be so I'm not looking forward to that I'll do the best we can we'll see what happens up there somewhere one of those crooks I don't know maybe you're in frame and I'm sure [Music]

they hit the Y but it fell out is it the stick hit sideways on the waii [Music]

Oh

it was Nicola bounced off I should be it I can't see that's it okay now I'm gonna run

cordage up the line by whipping it like this

there you go I'll drop it down [Music]

so there it is right there hanging and there's the why right there so I'm gonna whip up rope he's gonna drop it down he's still there hopefully yeah buddy okay so I whip some rope up there now the other side in the words of the great kurt cobain I guarantee you I will screw this up should I do this by myself yeah

notice I didn't walk over my my full blanket cuz I'd kick snow up onto it potentially

all right so now I'm gonna get the other end of my ridgeline [Music]

it's better constrict or not you know how to do that look it up in my channel I did a lot of not videos years ago I almost have 700 videos on my channel now like 600 in 88 around there so so scroll back I noticed that Firefox I can't scroll back past 2 years and I have videos from like 7 years ago so make sure you're using like Safari or something for your browser it doesn't work on my phone either it's pretty bad okay now before I throw this I'm gonna just clip my my parish with my my parachute to the rigs line so I want the parachute to be centered at the fire this is two separate chords I have them set up with a sheet Bend anyways I'm gonna just clip my parachute lock it off [Music]

now the fun part I'm sure to get this over the other tree spots always kind of kind of crazy want the rope in front of me just like I'm fishing with a throw line kit

right for a line I love that take almost you only way I fish now pretty much is in the way fish my grandfather's fishing with a throw line I still have his throw line kick dude all right where am I going I'm going right there couple sticks I got to worry about but other than that I'm okay

one drop a little bench and all that stuff pack some sticks right there give me a problem [Music]

try to go right like right there I'm aiming a bowl before it want to go oh I miss to the left that's the one oh but then it bounced back that's kind of funny

how's a great throw and it bounced back and it's caught on the branch this is a chance to take this branch down

Oh terrible throw Oh shockingly terrible Oh what happened all right I should be in Oh kind of fell kind of bounced forward off the back branch and missed the thickest branch I don't think a whole the parachute baby

[Applause]

thank you sir really not the ideal spot but that's what it is okay let me go go around here all right so I'm over two branches right now so I think I might be okay I got plenty of rope I'm not tie it off right here can you see what I'm doing yeah you can so I'm gonna go around I'm gonna pin the rope here basically I'm gonna go around me a little more than that and go around I'm going the inside see that home on the inside

yeah buddy up from the inside that's gonna hold it down right there I'm gonna go around five enough rope I'll tie it off right here I'm a little short I'm using absolutely the least amount of rope to do this that should be plenty that holds it in place and go around the tree I'm gonna get too the Rope coming out from the parachute when you go around I'm gonna put a quick-release right here okay that's my quick-release give you a close-up there's no quick release I'm gonna put it's very small I'm gonna put another loop through it as a double quick release like this this side pulls tight

that's a quick release to a quick release whole thing comes down ready to go straight up let me go to one of my sides probably the first one to stop pulling it up [Music]

[Music]

a little more and I'm there that's looking pretty good [Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

now I'll work windy out today so I have it not super tight so I can flux with the wind a little bit hey guys Marcus just joined us in camp say hello Marcus right on so yeah I was gonna do kind of interview chats and all that about the upcoming bushcraft show kind of like other Northeast Expo the he's he's building promoting putting on so right on just hanging out today part of the day camp yeah so we're gonna build a fire and that's snowy mess [Applause]

so I heard the other day I forget who was talking about it I heard the other day that that first season of a loan that you were on the a lot of people like the contestants like yourself didn't actually know whether or not the show was going to be broadcast it was sort of a filmed speculatively I'm not wasn't they didn't know whether or not their history history was involved because I'd heard that I thought that had been on a loan and then I found out that he had being earmarked for it but never actually participated I think it conflicted with this kids wedding and you decide to go systems wedding economically yeah I think he even wanted Vancouver I've heard some information yeah about it but did you know all the people that were participating Piper come on when when you filmed this when they film the show with you did they get read together so you'd kind of know who you were competing against or was it really all in isolation like well here's a funny thing least on my mind I know some of the other guy it wasn't like these are the people I'm trying to be how at least for sure for me it was all about winning season one there's a little about personal yeah nothing to do with us anyways we had one week of pre-production after we got there yeah with a showed us you know how to set up a scene filming aspects they showed us they had to stick a class with First Nations remember in the area like edibles but I mean they were all the edibles were lying summertime

yeah we got dropped off shortcuts known after the salmon run we got dropped off during the famine part yeah

wait Vancouver set up Lisa caught one of people area wats you they set up baskets and Weir's and all such things

traps catch a lot of sand and everyone during the run and then use that to last away the sea yeah and Jeonju is captain he was part of everybody

Boston under us Boston for you there's our awesome to see them happen to your boss yeah okay so if you see some in I'm Boston in the UK all right you'll see this economy okay right and we have a key right father I'll keep the office right so it's argued you guys it's really under named in every area we're like oh yeah British like light in here they everything like Worcester told said I looked at with Emily Shire yes sir all that Taunton totally or a very old fall river over Somerset is it crazy talk that's all the same York Post New York then you got defensive and Shire this is the New Hampshire you know you got to bring you go to Pennsylvania they start coping with rush names there's a lot of so anyways your boss think this should came from your book and not are saying it was went all the way around the minute all the way to Vancouver yeah and that was like the last frontier for that kind of stuff because I'm so far and hard to get you right coming from

across the Pacific they would do that and so that ship wasn't being burned and sunk and all that stuff and everything I think I look at them for a couple years and got married and everything and so he witnessed I've read his journal I even went to Vancouver Island I read this firsthand account stuff that's good and he he wrote it with blueberry ink that I just epic can you explain how Pollock how we made under make things different super cool it's called captive a new Kisan free online and so it's it's uh it's free online and I love those first-hand accounts oh yeah yeah and so he said that they keep in ship being captured like a single day or two all the fishing he did for all women that's how much fish was happy even he even gave a number I remember the number but he even gave a number he pushes so he gave a number but I mean they caught so many fish so fast so we're dropped off after that

so you guys missed out on good yeah

I'm very good on this come on man you from the UK you got you guys all you know just look at wooden feathers right you come from the land of feather sticks you need although I saw Venus messing with you

mr. president

what's up say nice prep yeah one of the problems I have with fire sticks is I'm not very good maintaining my edge to tools so you never really have a sharp enough knife I really struggle to get a nice like a razor sharp leave okay so some of the things I know is what are used to sharpen it I just recently bought a light and I think it's on a Lansky system which is yeah yeah where cramps the blade I'm giving that a try right now yep but before that I was just doing it freehand on a whetstone okay I've been watching some videos and reading more about it and I just realized I've gotta you know spend more time be more patient and also have more variety of stone grits because I was just trying to do everything with this whatever pad and now it's like eight different grits

I use a DC for well juicer I use a DC for we're having heard of that I'll fall ribbon is it no fall phone Ivan even how do you say that all right I don't know like the kid knife if y'all cannot even or whatever no yeah I think it's so terrible is that there is it is it part of the food fuel Raven brand or is it a separate company softball writer huh but it's a Swedish knife or Swedish sharpening system yeah that's like

oh yeah yeah it's it's fall neither lonely got a scandi grade knife this year no last year up until then into deep

first thing you want to do is find something long want to have a long stroke longer sure okay yep and so I like to hold it my psychic am i right slave in front all right and first thing I do is I look to see where the down curve is that's the up curve yeah so as I carve my knife is gonna go over the hump fly off and all those curls every time yeah yeah you did good man

you said you're not good at it looks pretty good to me ah but uh I just run down yeah

all right and then drop off to the right like slide the knife out okay and then every time I do that I create a facet I create a cut in angle and there's a ridge on each side now I mean right so now I just go down one of those those ridges yes sorry that's skinnier one thing right exactly I mix between skinny and not because if you have all really fine stuff it's like a flash tinder it's go fast right so now because I just want to each side now it's a ridge right in the middle all right so I can go right down that Ridge in the middle right there that's how I start making difference right so I saw pretty much it I saw a video that rated once where he talked about twittering the knife blade this way and that way so tilt up tilt down mm-hmm as well could you - you incorporate that into it as well or is it really just about yeah I do

twist left right yeah if you go this way like half the tip up higher yeah if you go the other way it curves to the right oh it's about okay so it's the direction which I don't like doing to be honest but it goes that way because it feels very like unnatural for me if you go straight it will curl in on itself

yeah you know I see that exactly in a circle and if you get if you drop your hand it will curl jump to the left so just I kind of prefer slightly to the left

like shoot off as well well you know we're not trying to make something gorgeous we're trying to light a fire so I'm trying to take it too serious I mean sit here like I made the most gorgeous you know beautiful symmetrical feather stick ever that's like throw it in the fire get started you need time to burn it now time to burn it so it's really not that big of you but at the same time I need to be effective these things kind of go hand in hand because my feathers kick to the left on purpose yeah then I go on perpendicular side to the right kind of a 90 degree around the edge of it then I can burst them into the other one sometimes I'll take some real thick ones like that because I don't want to go up too fast especially in a snowy environment like this now I could sit here and make super delicate ones but like I was saying before then they'll go up so fast that it doesn't work out too well you know all of a sudden he doesn't like fire as well as you want because then goes up so fast on so if I'm gonna ignite by using sparks directly onto my curls right at the end when I'm ready I make some really fine ones right they're so delicate that the wind will break them apart you can see right through ya you know those are the ones you strike a spark to you get all those points together you strike a spark on those they just go right up there's a knife I designed made a survival knife that's the one that you have yourself yep it's on sale right now yeah and I'm gonna bring some of them a couple of them with me to the to the bushcraft show as well have them at my my table that I'll be selling stuff with me yeah

who'd you use for the nut makers LT LT right all handmade and does a great job this particular model is uh my card Oh as a coke bottle handle which I'm sure you're very familiar with it's over from the UK right 3/32 blade oh one high carbon tool steel it's not a greased spine so it can throw lava if I want off my photo rod to have Ranger green liners scandi bevel that just polishes you know to a mirror it's great steel I decided also so because I'm such a carver I got just them all about it that um many knives the palm will digs into my hand when I go into chess leaver right just leave it yeah so I made it a little longer so it just makes it around the hand instead so that way you can just lock in and go to town look I'm making clothes and make clothes and our stuff like that whatever so it's the only knife I know that does that and I did it I made it for that specific purpose to make sure that it doesn't beat me up I like to make three pretty doll size yeah make three I could buy we've run this from last week yeah yeah so you're three of them you can make like a teepee you ready to go oh yeah yeah so I think you started making one right so this one baby one sorry I mean if another baby one movie you slug yeah for sure

[Applause]

this should be hard but like she'll make look at cows owns astonishing things like like full-on meals out in the woods where you wouldn't think twenty year trained chef yep he got into it's not because he's into really into the outdoors of country because one of the challenge of being able to cook right some of the really gourmet crafting who makes sure

that's cool okay there's somebody's real tiny about but when you get one of those edges yep take a little rich you can you can just ride and again those are great if you want to strike a spark on to them or if you know you need to use a feather stick as a tinder bundle you can do that as well so you make it all fine stuff and you drop some finer material that we know me would in a tender bundle like cattail fluff things like that put that in there and it will blow it right into flame it's like a normal tinder bundle so you can use these as tinder bundles too which is pretty cool let's go what the parachute is that this stuff filling with the honey like a hot air balloon yeah it sure does it's good 1520 degrees underneath the parachute outside

right on

both of tea yeah sure where's your cup so I can put the right amount of water I heard you're a tea fountain I wrote some British tea bags tear stuff really well English tea about the water half the time right instead of just filling the whole bill again

you
