If you're uncomfortable cutting down trees for the fire hole, look for a patch where many saplings are growing in a clump. You will be doing the forest a favour by thinning them out a bit. If you aim for ash, hazel or willow, they will coppice afterwards and come back stronger than ever. Cutting with a clean conscience 👍 I carry a small mattock head in my toolbar and add a sharp to it while in the bush. A 5 minute job, 750g extra weight but you can tear a hole into even hard ground. Bonus points if you find one with an eye that takes a tomahawk handle - carry two heads and one shaft for easy carrying

How about a Q&A? I'm pretty sure it would make a good video, especially in front of a fire with your humour. So, my question is: What was your original plan when setting up your channel, What do you think is your main goal currently, and what do you plan to do in the future? I would like you to cover stuff like: Is this just a hobby or do you plan to take it a step further?

Alfie I have some questions on knife sharpening. In your survival kit video you showed your Smiths Pocket sharpener and said it was good for in-field sharpening. So what do you use for your primary or main sharpener or is the smiths sharpener your main one? My knives are always getting blunt and "das bad times".

Rebel Wilder Official copper ones will break over time, as by bending em constantly the metal begins to harden and become brittle. I'm pretty sure that aluminium would become crap over time, so it would need replacing more often. Brass would last some time before it needs to be replaced.
