Poor audio.

Just made my first order

Video content starts at 7:26

love the fact that it is local

Just wondering if the residue bark would be good flint and steel tinder? As for other uses for the oil, how about as lamp oil? PS. I have subscribed. Great channel thank you.

Nice, thanks, and would get another Like if spoken in Received Pronunciation, clearer articulated and /or better sound quality on the speaker, so that other nationalities and burnt-out people can understand it too.

Hi from hull east Yorkshire

I order from here online, it's my favourite place for outdoor gear.

is Perry the son to the legend Eddie McGee?

Does anyone know if there is a video of someone doing this on a larger scale I own a tree service in New England and bring back birch every week

Ojibways use birch tar for birch bark canoes,and extract DMT from common reed grass,which grows everywhere,!

You have birch bark, use a ferro rod or flint n steel,,,birch bark charcoal,takes a spare any weather,,,birch oil, useful knowledge, thank y'all,,,

that is not just ash left in the can afterwards. that is charcoal. it is many uses.

Layering the Birch bark vertically in the container would allow the oil to drain downward more easily and enable any excess water vapor to rise freely and escape the container via the hole on top , as opposed to, layering the birch bark horizontally, which would not aid or induce drainage, Also layering the birch bark horizontally would inhibit water vapor from rising and escaping.

14:47 a recent vid I watched said if you add "lard" to your Pine Pitch it'll make it more pliable... just be careful how much you use because you could end up with silly puddy lol

Can this be done in an oven at high temperatures? Does the time of year make a difference? The reason I ask is it’s mid June and a storm blew a couple young trees down and I want to at least repurpose what I can from them if at all possible. Thank you! 🙏🏼

You will have to forgive my cynicism but when I hear an English accent talking about bush craft and wilderness survival I get a bit sceptical and sarcastic. This guy may have experience in the bush and living in remote places but this video looks like it was taken in a park. Years ago I worked in northern British Colombia and worked in some extremely remote locations and lived out of a tent. In some cases, the only way in and out was be a helicopter or one heck of an arduous long walk over impossible terrain. I am sure there are people who have experienced more challenging circumstances and more desperate survival situations then me but the average guy hasn’t. I’ve had numerous bear encounters, slept in a tent in the snow, slept in the rain with nothing but a sleeping bag and a tarp, been in dense forests with huge hemlock trees in the late fall living out of a tent, lived in a tent in early spring when you would wake up in the night covered in frost, or been baking in 40 plus degree Celsius temperatures in the outdoors with no way to cool off except to drink hot water that was baking in the scorching heat. I was always well equipped and for the most part had some kind of back-up, support, and resources. Real survival in the wild is not a game or about having some items in a backpack. If you are ever truly stuck in a remote location and can’t get to civilization it will be better to have some survival items but they won’t help you much. When you haven’t eaten anything in 8 hours, are completely lost, are wet and cold, alone, and no one knows where you are, then you are screwed. Your chances of serving are low. We live in civilization for a reason. Even our most primitive answers knew that our best resource and chances of survival are other people. If you want to survive in the wild then bring another ten people who are all well supplied, have everything you need, including lots of food, cLean water, shelter, tools, a knowledge of the area, a good plan, and make sure other people know where you are and how to find you. Unless you are an exceptional human being who is incredibly fit, hard as nails, has a ton of luck and good fortune, and grew up surviving in the wild then do not try and do any serious survival excursion. It is suicide. On the other hand if you want to go to a national park and go camping or go on a hike on a well defined trail and prepare for that then you should be okay. But even in those circumstances people have been known to get in serious trouble. I’m just saying.

This is a good channel, what he says and does makes a lot of sense .

Interesting. What does it smell like?

I would add a 5 by 7 poncho.

it is a good idea to start a fire in a forest

good skillz thanks for the lesson!

I live in maine, we have plenty of birch around. I going to do this for sure! is there anydifference in the quality of white birch oil vs. yellow birch?

When using pine pitch for glues a few things help to make it non brittle. 1:use the gooey semi fresh stuff, not the white crusty powdery stuff (the turps have evaporated off and makes more birrtle. 2: add about 1/4 or less char/ash (not sure if it matters but I swear hardwood ash works better), and 1/4 of less of finely chopped shredded dryer fiber (could be grasses, jute, ect whatever is finest n dry, hint crushed dry deer,moose, of other grazer droppings work amazing and what some natives used). Low low heat, melt resin, mix rest ingredients. Allow to temper (cool) to handling temp and go to town. U can glob around a sharpened stick with a groove so when u warm it up u can almost use it like a pencil gluestick. Depending on ur ratios u can keep it almost rubber like but I prefer alittle stiffer than silicone.

What a ridiculous form factor 🙄

Nice! If you're using bark from a downed birch tree, how old can the tree be before the bark dries out on its own? Or is the oil still in the bark even if the tree itself is decayed? I'm living for now in a part of Poland where there's tons of birch around, a lot of downed trees in the forest but many of them have been down for some time, it looks like. The bark looks still pretty viable but wondering if it's still good to extract oil from?

Yeah if you are a single person, you dont need a big bag, but if you count a second or a third person in the same bag, You got to pick a big one. What more you need? Food for example...

Great content, healthy looking patch of forest, but you lost me when you stated that you support tyranny of the government over the sovereignty of the individual. Would have preferred no politics and just bushcrafting.

How did you separate the oil from the watery part?

Hi just want to say that I like that rant you just dead I agree with you 100% where I live in America same thing happens this virus I had it I made it through God willing thank you God for now let me go but yeah I just found your channel one video go and I really like your videos so keep them up so far what I’ve seen is awesome God bless you and God bless the world

That was an awesome review I just wanted to let you know that God bless you and your family God bless you in the world

Is this good for birch beer?

I think the Jobsworth cookers have been withdrawn .. there's a note on the P. X website asking for any bought since january 2021 to be returned for a full refund.

I found just last weekend a 75 lb pine knot of trophy fatwood 💘

How come in all these get home situations the worlds supply of bottled water and beverages disappeared at once? Also people seem to mistake a get home bag with a get home bag. I dont know bout u but my number one concern is getting home to my family which means im not stopping to sleep or cook on a little stove. Gimme my edc gun, knife, and flashlight along with a bottle of water and a few granola bars and im getting home fast. Not carrying a big bag. I will pack that one beer tho lol

Hey dude, I just opened my set but the bottle hanger seems SUPER narrow to fit the cup, did you have to bend yours a lot?

I bought a huge box of birch bark a year ago for a project that I never ended up up doing. So I have been trying to figure out something to use it for. Now I know what I can do with it. Thx u. It is taking up so much room so I can turn it into a medicine of sorts now and something to help with my woodworking and leatherworking etc so thx u thx u thx u. :)

No rain in video Thanks

That food is going to stink of smoke

That's too much smoke anyone will be able to see it

XD

🔥✨🧸✨🔥 🙂 👍

Thank-you useful

Might want to set aside a few minutes to screw some lid latches onto your tin, you're probably losing half your yield through the vent. Be sure to reinforce where you attach them so the pressure doesn't blow them out though.

Tips for pet owners, chemically, Birch Sugar and Xylitol are very similar and equally as poisonous to dogs cats and ferrets.

Thank you, in most of the vids I’ve seen, people are just using the outer paper layer, but I remember my grandfather using the under layer of the bark, as you have. Watching these other videos, it seems they’re missing out on a lot of oil.

Cheapest isn’t always the way to go.
