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.

My fold down swede saw:

That bucksaw rocks. It is the same I carry as part of my "Nessmuk trio" It has accompanied me on every trip I take into the woods...5 or 6 trips just this year.

Thanks for the link to the videos Left4Dead!

I got a great bushcraft show that i downloaded from piratebay. it is Ray mears Bushcrafting Sweden and in it he makes a knife on the forge and hand makes handles for it.

A must see for anyone into bushcraft or skandis.

Can someone post a link for the Buck Saw and where to buy it....

Hey Steel Fan,

I got mine on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Trail-Blazer-TBS-1...5616&sr=8-2

There's also an 24" model: http://www.amazon.com/Trail-Blazer-TBS-2...5616&sr=8-1

Here's some spoof vids that some good buddies of mine made of the original poster's links. We love watching Dave and meant no harm or disrespect. You won't ever see me on camera <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />It's hard to not laugh, off camera, when these are being filmed.
