I like this guy's videos. They are plain, simple, and direct.
Like others have said, he makes it look easy, and I have to say, some of it
really isn't that easy. I learned that when my friend and I built a wikkie
shelter a couple of weekends ago. My friend owns about a hundred acres of land,
that is about 1/2 treed with dense bush and 1/2 cleared farmland.

His son is taking a wilderness survival course through his school, and last
weekend when my wife and I were visiting them, my friend and his son and I
went out and built one of those wikkie shelters.
I had been watching the Wilderness Outfitters videos, and the boy had been
learning about survival shelters in his course, so talk became idea's, which
became action, and as it was a pretty miserable, rainy, cold day, so we figured
that it was a great time to test out some survival skills.

Well, we were out in the rain, got soaked, and managed to frame in the shelter
before we decided to call it a day. My friend and his son have since gone back
to it and finished it off. This experience has given me a new found respect for
the idea of taking a bigger knife (ie: Ratweiller, Dogfather, Becker BK9, Busse
BM, Ranger RD9, etc...) with you when doing something like this. Nothing beats
these sizes of knives (7-9+ inches) for limbing trees when needed.

Also, I've learned the importance of having a little buck saw, or a fold up
swede saw. We used my buddy's fold up buck saw for cutting down multiple 3-4
inch trees for the wikkie poles. Couldn't use an axe as the brush was too thick
for good swings. The saw worked great.
