I'm not a "bushcrafter". An outdoorsman and mechanical engineer. Impressive work Felix. Congratulations and Thanks.

I never would have thought you could make pulleys with just a knife. Amazing video, Thank you for making it.

What a very useful, well thought-out idea for making a pulley for use in bushcrafting, with just a swiss army knife! Felix, you never cease to amaze me. Thank you for all the inspiration you keep giving us. Much love and best wishes, Wendi 🌻

Excellent video! Bushcraft/survival uses for pulley & pulley systems: 1. Lower container to get water without leaning or reaching over where drop to water level is considerable or footing is too slippery. 2. Raise food container to height where bear can't reach it. 3. Build/access elevated platform shelter: raise platform, fireplace and shelter building materials without danger of being pulled over or fatigue 4. Use counterweight to automatically raise trapped food animal too high for fox, coyote, wolf, bear, etc to eat it before you get it. Use basket at top to shield from birds. 5. Use counterweight to help climb repeatedly to access elevated location ( ensure separate safety line to prevent uncontrolled descent) 6. Use pulley system to haul improvised boat on to beach or launch into water 7. Use pulley system to drag large game animal from difficult/ unsafe location/ position to process location 8. Use pulley to draw bowstring on heavy improvised crossbow, use pulley to assemble crossbow, use pulleys as crossbow components 9. Use pulley for fishing or fish trap rig

I use a very small set of pulleys to lift counter weights for my snare setups to get large game off the ground. If I get let's say a deer size animal off the ground, I get a very quick kill and take the advantage off having the ground to dig in and escape. Also since I live in bear county, all of my shelters are minimum 10' off the ground and make it easy to get building materials up in the trees. It's really cool seeing a bushcraft version of my modern set. I will try this when making a large bear deadfall next time. Love it!

Your ingenuity skills are phenomenal my friend.

Watching your show is like going to a science class and I learned so much without having to go any place.Please continue so I continue learning. Thanks my friend

Thank you! I'm a very small female. I'm going to make a couple of these and use them to stack hay bales in the barn while my husband recovers from surgery. I have difficulty stacking more than three bales high :) What a fun project!

Now THIS is very useful on so many levels! Scaled up, it might even help with simple rescues! I'd bet it could be very helpful in making tree houses, too - thank you for another excellent video, Felix! 😀

The uses for pulleys are endless! Mechanical advantage is your friend! Great video Felix! A pleasure to watch as always! Cheers mate!

I recognize the master's hand! Great projects. And again, only one victorinox. Amazing.

A very ingenious system. It would come in handy pulling your canoe out of the water when it's full of gear.

I'm not sure what sort of game animals that you have were you live (where do you live exactly, BTW), but in the US we hunt several species of deer as well as bear, elk, moose and wild pigs. Those are heavy animals that can weigh between 70 kg and 700 kg and are often lifted in the air to field dress, age and butcher, sometimes it's all done in the field. A pulley system like this would be very useful for that task. We also go off into the woods on four wheeled ATVs and motor bikes and get ourselves into trouble by thinking "I can make it through that, no problem". The ability to construct a system like this could be very handy for when we are wrong. LOL I can see this being very useful when constructing larger more permanent structures in the woods as well. Another winner for team Immler!

An obvious use for hunters is for hanging a deer for processing. I carry a couple of pulleys (metal) with me for just that purpose. Good video.

I've just learned more about physics than when I was at my school years. Great lesson Professor Felix Immler :)

If anyone else made this video it wouldn't be as interesting. Thank you for the video.

One of these days, we r gonne get a notification for a video, titled 'how to build a 2 story house and all the furniture with just a swiss army knife'... Ur ingenuity is impressive sir.

I made one of these using my Leatherman a couple of months ago. While I love my SAK I find that the extra bit of capability from the Leatherman is sufficient that I prefer to carry it most of the time. That said, I love my little red pocket knife almost as much.

Drinking game, every time Felix says ’pully’, bottoms up.🍻😉

Truly a genius piece of technology. Way to preserve the history of such important human skill

Yawuul, Felix, you are better than a Navy Seal at survival! 👍👍 10⭐🙌

Pulley systems are a blast to play with. I like your version better than store bought, which are very expensive. For even more fun add a double pulley system to the end you are pulling, just remember it takes an enormous amount of rope. Thanks for sharing Felix.

Sir Felix always amazes us!! Make us a vise to hold small projects while using our SAK! Chow.

Brilliant idea!.....Each video i watch reminds me how useful my SAK Huntsman is...... In the hands of a true innovative genius like yourself, the possibilities are limitless! Thank you & God Bless!...

I just kept saying, "Wow", "Brilliant", "Genius" throughout the entire video! You are Amazing! Victorinox Definitely has to put you on their payroll.

HI! I wanted to tell you about a customization that I invented, I discovered that under the screwdriver near the magnifying glass in the swisschamp, there is enough space to put two small matches or one big one. the big one is practical because it fits inside, the small ones are two, but if you use the screwdriver often they don't get stuck. before now I didn't think they were that hard to light matches so I found an easy method to add the rough part of the box on the boxknife! on the back, in the largest slot, it is possible to put that part with double-sided adhesive, or by buying special strips to glue for matches. it works really well!

Felix you are a genius

Very clever, got some scouts on a camp this weekend, might take some time and give this a go!

Physics with a Swiss Army Knife! Good job!

Hmm, you can’t get away from physics, ever! Even in the forest away from the rest of the world physics still rule what you do. Thanks Felix, brilliant video as always. Les in UK

Hi Felix. Noch super Ideeen. Vielen Dank für die Physikstunde; Es war besser als in der Schule!.. Bleib gesund. L.G. Nigel

I enjoyed seeing how versatile the tools in a Swiss Army knife can be.

Felix, your wheels are always turning!

Pullies are a wonderful technology. To be able to craft one in the bush is Amazing, Felix!

I see... THE Archimedes of Victorinox...😎😎

SAK master! Another book would be fantastic 🤟 When I watch you works I am hypnotized. Cheers from Italy.

Who cares if a bushcrafter might not need it this was a fantastic video.

An excellent project, my friend! Thanks so much for demonstrating this and showing how it's done!

another off the chart project from the bushmaster. felix must you always push the envelope brother..? we are only human OUT OF THIS WORLD

felix, du bist so ein freak! positiv gemeint! ich liebe deine videos und ideen. super erklärt mit kontext und alles sehr hilfreich und unterhaltsam! thank you!

It took me a while to understand - All I need to be happy is a Swiss Army knife and a smile - lovely weekend to you Felix - Amazing project THANK YOU VERY MUCH - see yoy at your next video 🌲

This guy is amazing, thank you FELIX, love your videos brother. From America.

Could be very useful to build a log cabin or platform on trees so you can lift all the items, tools and wood logs you need up there effortlessly. Thank you so much for all your interesting videos and your channel Felix. You have, in my opinion, the best and most ingenious KZfaq channel about general bushcraft we can find. And all that with only your imagination and a Swiss army knife. Again, thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with everyone on here. 👍👍👍

King of bushcraft

Are you an engineer? You are a genius!

Count me impressed. Did not know people could make this out of wood and able to use it.

Wieder mal super, den "Zirkel-Trick" kannte ich noch gar nicht ...

Physik mit Felix. Heute: Der Flaschenzug! Cooles Video. ich kenne die Technik, wäre aber niemals darauf gekommen das im Wald zu verwenden. Danke!

You are a treasure Felix❤

Thanks for another great and inspiring video! I'm going to camp with my Cub Scouts this weekend. I usually don't get enough down time to get crafting as a leader but you never know, maybe this time I will :D

MAGIC ! ! ! Number ONE ! ! ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I hearby dub thee Felix DaVinci. Great piece of engineering with our favorite multitool. This video helped solve a mechanical problem. Thank you for the inspiration and creativity.

Nice project. Be a fun thing to do with my 9 year grandson. 👍 👍

Very useful! Sometimes things have to be moved out of the way and one could also pull using this technique. All the best👍

Love Your Pully System. Sure Is A Handy Item, Thanks For Sharing This Felix ! Have A Great Weekend, Friend ! ATB T God Bless

Felix! U are amazing! Thanx your work! Awesome videos! ❤

As always a fantastic video full of wonderful information. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪 to you and your family and subscriber's ❤

Excellent! Yes, glad I watched.

Great video pulley systems would be used if building semi permanent bush craft building or moving logs

A simple machine but a true Swiss Army Knife genius!!! Have a nice day!!! ✌️❤️😎

Great work! This could be a great physics class example.

Hello from Kentucky (USA) Felix, Fantastic video! Really enjoyed this bushcraft project video. Thank you for sharing it. JT

Half way done with me anorak, finished the tomahawk [ way nicer to use when camping thanks ] enjoying your vids here in New Zealand.

Der Opa benutzte das gleiche system mit den schweren Roggensäcken. Die alten Bauern wußten sich zu helfen! Well done du junger (alter) FUCHS 😊

Love it i always caried pulleys in my buggy . Them and a woodjack , come alongs will get you out of anywhere, but. Never thought to cut a set like that . Good show. Great idea. Thank you.

Der Felix haut mich immer vom Hocker mit seinen innovativen und lehrreichen Videos. Danke!

Very very interesting for learning theory and practice out door, and showing that both are easy and fun. Thanks

Absolutely a great video. ?i learnt a good idea fir my next nature adventure. Thanks man.

Hallo Felix. Du bist ein absoluter Künstler. Das ist wieder ein richtig schönes Projekt geworden. Ich habe auch schon an so ein Video gedacht. Das hast du sehr gut umgesetzt. Schön dich zu sehen. Liebe Grüße aus Thüringen.

Hallo Felix, ein sehr interessantes und nützliches Projekt, wieder mal gekonnt umgesetzt von dir! LG Micha

Bush craft block and tackle ! NICE 👍

Du bist doch die Wiedergeburt von Davinchi! Kann ja wirklich nicht sein, dass du so viele Ideen hast...... Der Wahnsinn!!👍🏼👏👏👏 Wenn ich ne Frau wäre, würde ich schreiben.... Ich liebe dich! 😂❤️

Tolle funktionale Schnitzarbeit. Super Idee. 👍 Zum Flaschenzug ansich - wer die Hebelgesetze kennt und versteht ...

Awesome chair!

Felix, your next bushcraft challenge is a treadle lathe.😉

Well, there's another one for the books! Amazing! That's going to be useful for sure. I can thnk of several times that would have helped me out. 👍🏻

Awesome video Felix! So much fun!

Great video, i love how you think outside the box. Thanks for sharing

Awesome. I always learn something from your videos. Great video.

Very inventive Felix! You always have great ideas I look forward to your videos every friday. I think a Good Friday video would be to improvise a clamp system or wooden vise for doing your projects with. Just a thought. Thanks again for your continued inspirations!

This would be awesome for hunting to hoist food bags or wild game to skin and so much more this is cool as heck

Very nice. I was hoping you would show working with more than one pulley. But thanks for the video and your hard work.

So excited to watch this! Can't wait to learn from your wisdom :)

Another useful and cool video, but I would try to add some lard/grease/oil on surfaces between the wheel and the stick to reduce friction. When you hear the high pitch dry-wood against dry-wood sound, then it is a good indication that some lard can help :)

Scientific paper headlines: "Swiss man figures out how the pyramids were built with a pocket knife." Uncle Felix, your ingenuity never cease to amaze. Btw, where is your cameraman? Lately i dont see him in the videos. Did he move?

Awesome work Felix.

I love your projects so glad I found your show!

Da soll noch mal einer sagen, dass man beim Bushcraften nichts über Physik lernt. Und das alles nur mit etwas Holz und einem Victorinox! 👍👍👍 Lieber Felix, super gemacht und erklärt ! (Wie immer, bei Immler!)😁👍 LG aus Oberösterreich!

Using a dynamic pulley reduces the effort by half, while using a fixed pulley changes the direction of the applied force. Awesome!

Indeed you are very creative my friend, success is always working.

Awesome video. I love the intersection between bushcraft and engineering, because 1) it's a ton of fun to play with contraptions like this and 2) it may not seem too useful in a typical bushcraft temporary survival situation, but it will be extremely useful in a long-term one that isn't just about surviving but about thriving. So far your channel is one of the very few I've found (Advoko makes is also cool) that covers this intersection. Keep up the amazing work!

May the force be with you 👍

Something like this could be used for a DIY Dam for water diversion from a main source. Say to run a mini water wheel or fill a pool.

Felix, two words: Compound Bow. =^D. That popped into my mind at 10:22 when you said you "need two" and pulled out the second pulley. Thanks for a fantastic video! And hoping for a compound bow bushcrafted with a Swiss Army Knife!

Salut ! Vraiment pas bête ce petit compas. Je me servirai de cette idée. Et la poulie va me servir dans la cabane de pêche. Merci!

if I could spend half the time in the woods as you do I'd be happy

Very interesting. Congratulations.

I’m making one to keep my food up from bears! Big thanks! ❤️

Felix, om smord med tjära, fett eller olja, kommer att fungera ännu bättre. 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌💖💖💖

Im real surprised how sturdy and strong you’re carved version is, but you’ll never know if you don’t try and you’re the one who is thinking out of the box and try 👍👍👍 great explanation and demonstration, in my case I’m lazy in such things as you know 😅 so I use just two carabiner for it, works the same way, would be interesting to find out which method has more friction, rope on the metal of the carabiner or wood of wood on your system? Thanks for sharing, Taro
