thank you for a sergeant first carving project whenever I get a new knife because I just do what I can from know about you're a Carver but try and replicate it that's also good a feel for the thing because it's you know minor knifes the easiest thing to car very cool man yeah that's what I'm doing now you're gonna get me back yeah I set that net I like a totally I was so pumped having a beast that there are so pumped I ate the crabs at night right so I cooked the fish I ate a little bit of those so even eat ice it's fun just right for my hat five days but this point donated that it an eight eight it every night for dinner yeah but um those crabs right so I felt back is they're alive and all that moving around and I tossed them into my pot with some water and because now I had water and put them over the fire apologize I can't hold Wow crab but it's freaking out trying to like go crazy on me well I'm trying to heat up water like I don't have any of the containers I have nine pieces of kit we're gonna phone my my rucksack yeah like I think Maddie's right yeah that was like total madness so I've warmed them up in a very unethical I was pretty bent up about it but uh man those suckers were yeah I broke them upside down like he's supposed to right back well live in New England right brigham upside down and then all their inner butter is inside a single dish my fruit ball and I dip it all all in the crab butter dude I'm telling you man my brain cuz I hadn't eaten really in like four days was like I was like did I grab the camera they didn't show it I was like oh my dude this is what the brain needs right here this is what the brain needs I was like fired up to the carrot my someone like yeah he's crazy you're not gonna show that you know did I was so fired up oh my god I was like oh my god yeah it's like a it's like a chemical chemical change it goes over you eat this like buttering me it's exciting

Patti I just want to go like things you know I have no idea what they did and I gave them like four four or five six whatever was memory cards full at a time to all 64 gigabytes okay I mean like here's five 64 megabyte cards 300 gigs welcome you know cuz I'm wondering like when they saw some B's going I think we should pull them off the island oh do they come in big I cracked the the clause with my ax on a tree I was like yeah I mean so cool right edit it out like why I want to watch that forever okay look at my house didn't you guys ever do that like go four or five days without food

did you could literally when you get that first taste for degree five day you have yeah and you could arrange it right exactly

yeah I got struck by lightning when I eat that your expectations of what you in a day doing a kid when you're like man I'm hungry or you know start appreciating food in general and beyond that you also get you just figure out what you actually need for energy to sustain yourself because a lot of times people overeat and they're tired from it like your body's trying to burn so much calories that you get exhausted totally you think that you're not eating because you think they're not eating enough because you're tired but really you're eating too much like right right anyway right man yeah yeah man I I had a pretty interesting situation from I'm not eating for a while so I mean I was eating like 60 muscles a day I think it's my keys that long and so you know I have been up there for whatever five weeks or something sitting like mussels and a fissure in the day and whatever those coolers record oh I got that that's sea otter high right and so I filled a big rack rocked it out I think the show in like those special features only online you can see me like working on the hide yeah the height itself a turd on another show but they didn't show you working on it yeah so if you go online on the history website or whatever it is find I think I died down what where are they true yeah I would have my logo on it whatever but um yeah so I made a big rack the Arrakis to do this thing was like you know two and a half feet wide four feet tall massive hide right and so I'm scraping it down the whole band got it all lashed up to a big square frame and I'm scraping it all and all that meat that comes off the hide that is like some pretty disgusting stuff

Migros weather and I'd agree with her so I threw it on top of my fire I had simmering just like this well it's just like that it was just like a little simmering Ember fire now I was just throwing like me just to get the meat out of here cook it into ash charcoal I don't want raw meat in my camp killing stuff is gnarly it looks like you know like tumors you're scraping off the high or something this stuff is just shredded not even be the best tasting to move yeah it just doesn't look right you know it's like weird and so fire and I'm 10 feet away scraping away I'm like it smelled and then I go over and I realized it was like shave steak like cuz I shaved it and it Lilly looked like like a steak and cheese sub without the cheese sitting on on like embers I turn on the camera and I'm like like those high screen things look delicious right now and I'm Tony I swear with a half-hour I fought with myself I'm like intellectually I know I shouldn't eat that is that like I found the animal dead lying somewhere I'm scraping off of its height on the inside like this is totally disgusting gnarly but man and on that visceral stake dude my body was like you eat that what do you do dude that's that that's that no be the best meal you've ever had out here I saw the tiny regret that I didn't eat it but I was like I'm gonna be vomiting and diarrhea like I did all I kintel actually my brains like don't ever do that well my body was like it shaves steak and cheese sobs die go haunted doc you know fry it up and duck fat like you know so yeah for sure your brain changes and you look at hydrogen dudes go forward it all nice something wrong exactly anything my Marine Corps past the kind of kicks in every so often killing N or just to get it stomach just to make a quick can you think is a swim bladder across the river yeah exactly people like what is wrong with Dyke it doesn't look right they just open it right up there's nothing you can do with the tip your thumb offer to bandit on their water coming down there so with just fresh coffee Manette had spoon wrap right in with I just like put in like one of the right so just like Minami yeah oh oh saw cuts um and they don't want to hear you show me about go left I'll show you saw that's gone or a guy with a cut hand I've never seen yeah well just because nobody sharpens they're they're folding so most people don't sharpen a little I do it's very easy I got a triangle file in my kid all the time yeah I'm I like my field drew my field maintenance kit it's just like a triangle file there or whatever they're called the mill file and in a diamond stone so it's like I just try to never use never use the file and just always hit it with the diamond stone yeah and I figured like an axe and machete anything like that you want a file you see you guys putting perfect edges and I mean I'm no offense you're particularly your kit and like I appreciate that that's a whole nother skill set but you're putting a perfect edge on an axe and for me like my axes are mostly beaters they're mostly for like packet you know just with a file a couple licks yeah yeah nice of course yeah fights hard and dashing yeah I don't care for it with too delicate of an edge or an axe right you ruin it it's like garbage and you can't I've also learned over the years you can't just sharpen the edge you have to go to the cheeks first and working away towards the edge not end up like a flat pop yeah it's garbage you know hopefully it's something you learn yeah so totally I'm with you on that and a file works the best on cheeks but she just go to the course stone of my my crux tone never the cheeks all the way and from my Maybach oh I have spare blades at home I never news but yeah I just used the very corner of the dc4 it's like this tiny little triangle edge and a zit on the the gold side so the coarse side and you just go to that one one side on the blade as like the bevel yeah just like a little just like white white white let's go down liking it all once yeah your neck it out I do it a little triangle file and I don't go and raise hand you know and I go like this it's just real simple it's rich hands that yeah yeah I'm very gentle on it and yeah kind of touch it up and my thing is that like man I feel like the like the axe is like the symbol and the saw is the thing no one talks about yeah you know what I mean or like great guys have just like a buckle a binder and that's their song yeah I both yeah I have my little pocket was like like when I make spoons it's actually not even great for that because people use like the Japanese pull saws when they're in a good series at their job so breakfast this morning
