This episode is going to be a bit different to the other episodes,
and the topics we usually talk about.
We will not talk about classical bushcraft now, but about
so called tramping.
We don't have a specific word for it.
"clochard"
That's... that's...
We might call it "urban bushcraft".
Stealth camping
as a rule is practiced in a way that
we arrive to the camping place
after sunset, and leave before sunrise.
So, everything is set during the night.
That's why I couldn't document most of my "camps" now.
Hitchhiking is a kind of filter.
Errrr...
When hitchhiking you meet only good people who wish to help someone.
BUSHCRAFT- Science of Wilderness
In the last episode we left our hero
to hang on an imaginary cliff
with a grass bouquet in his hand.
Will he be able to make fire?
If not
Will he be able to survive this chilly summer night?
Will he remember he has a lighter?
Watch in an exciting sequel, right after commercials.
So, when we want to make it glow
we shoudn't blow into the amber,
but... OH, HERE IT IS!
Because
if we blow
we can... and now,
How do we proceed with making fire.
From here, we're putting the twigs the size of a match.
After those
we're putting
the twigs the size of a pencil.
Ouch!
And when they catch on...
This was unexpected.
I thought... it looks like the grass is actually dry.
Unlike the wood.
And last it's the twigs the size of a thumb.
When those light up.
Most people
when doing this. When they're putting on these twigs,
that we need to prepare in advance.
The trick is to prepare the twigs in advance.
The grass bundle also, and everything else.
Because if we start doing that after... oops...
if we start doing that after we
created the amber
it's already late.
No way to make it in time then.
This tipped over, so I need to fix it, but as a rule...
What's the mistake that people... when I see people...
making fire...
the mistake they make...
A plane...
What's the mistake that people usually make?
When making a fire.
Even if I prepare these twigs for them...
You need three bundles of twigs of different size.
The size of a match,
the size of a pencil,
and the size of a thumb.
It doesn't have to be exactly, like, OSD
but, roughly those diameters.
So now, I give it to them, and let them light a fire
and what they do, after they light the tinder,
they're throwing in the twigs, and it looks to them
illogical to just throw them in like that,
so they start arranging them in a campfire formation.
There's no way to make it like that.
The right way is for them to be parallel to each other,
so as to have the least space between them
The space between the twigs should be equal to the diameter of those twigs.
You need air to get it burning, but
just a little bit, because...
what's important for fire? The important three things for fire are
heat, air, and fuel.
The fuel, it's these twigs.
The air is the air that flows trough that space between them.
And heat, we get heat
only if the twigs are close enough to
support each other.
If they're too far away from each other, the fire is out, because there's not enough heat.
If they're too close there's no airflow. So the fire is out again.
It means that there has to be optimal distance.
When it's small twigs the distance between them should be equal to the thickness of that twig.
Now, I'll show you some other ways of lighting the fire.
This one was the most demanding.
That's why we did it first, and it's also the most primitive one
so, naturally it goes respectively.
I should put this out now.
The hobo phenomenon it self
came into being by 1890 in America
It was the time when a lot of people lost their jobs
so they decided to use the railway
as cost free transportation to search for jobs.
Actually, the term hobo means a wanderer looking for a job.
And they are in general working or looking for a job,
While a tramp will work
if the situation forces him to.
But his preferred way is not to work, just to travel around.
A lot of delta blues musicians traveled this way, and lived this way.
This even determined their music.
Because this way of traveling
gives you a different wiew
on life.
When we travel like this. Hitchhiking.
One of the most important things
has to be comfortable clothes and footwear.
Especially footwear.
It's important to have very good sandals.
These sandals may not look the most comfortable,
but they are the best thing in the world.
They're natural, made of natural materials.
The foot is in perfect contact with the ground.
Natural contact, actually.
When you just start wearing something like this.
Something that's not designed to shape our foot.
Yes, there has to be an adaptation period.
But later...
because the foot it self,
moves in a different way than that.
The foot should naturally move
toe-heal.
What even some of the locals, that I talked to, don't know
is that there's a place in Istanbul where you can
sleep outside without anyone making you problems.
Because usually in Turkey when you're tramping
or stealth camping
you will often get a policeman
to wake you up.
He doesn't need anything. He just wants to wake you up, and tell you that you should take good care
of your things, and watch for the thieves. "Go back to sleep, please".
They're nice. They do it with a big smile.
This is the place where you can sleep by night.
-How are you sir?
I know it looks like a... -Thank you. -Where you from? - Bosnia, you?
?????
??????????????
Ah, nice.
-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon to you too.
-Which city?
-Sarajevo.
So, this is the place where it's possible to sleep
-I am going... I am sorry... these dogs are dangerous, you know?
- Are they?
So this is the place where you can sleep in Istanbul...
-This man also, he's from Sarajevo.
-Ah nice.
- He is from Sarajevo.
In every city, there's always someone who wants to talk to you when you're filming.
Er,
these dogs are friendly and they just want to run around and be in the shot.
OK, so
this is the place where you can sleep in Sofia
in Istanbul, sorry.
I know it looks like a bunch of gravestones.
Like it's made to lay corps on it.
But for me, this was, possibly the best sleep in a while.
While on the road, I slept in different places.
It was raining in Belgrade, so I
Had to improvise a shelter.
And also, since it was in the strict city center
it had to be hidden.
In Belgrade behind the gas station Avia
I had what I can describe only as a
mystical experience.
These things usually don't happen to me.
I was lying there. On the grass.
There is a nice gazebo here.
I was lying there the whole day. I've spent the whole day like that.
It was really nice and comfortable to just rest there.
And then, at some point...
because, as I was lying there
I was looking at the leaves.
There's this locust growing here,
and at one point, I felt...
I felt a sense of unity.
When people usually tell you this it sounds funny, but
after I felt this
I have no idea what triggered it. Lying on the ground?
Have I drown on the earth energy, or
was it simply being far away from home and unpredictability.
And...
it's funny that it happened in Belgrade, because
Belgrade, for me, is quite boring.
I'm not attracted to it.
It's a city for the outgoing people who like nightlife.
I'm not the type.
But after I had another mystical experience, last night, the second one in my life
it made me think. What is it with Belgrade?
Because these things don't usually happen to me.
Are there some toxic vapors here, hallucinations?
I'll try to look into the history or something.
See what it is.
I'm hitchhiking for years. And I sleep outside.
Traveling this way of is liberating
It gives us a feeling of
freedom and
helps overcome fears.
How many times have we went somewhere
in a strange city, strange country,
and felt afraid. What if we lose the return ticket? What if we lose our money?
What if we lose a passport? How will we go home?
You need to hold onto your passport.
All these other things are exchangeable.
Even if we lose our baggage.
Although, this is, as they say where I'm from,
Omnia mea mecum porto.
But even if we do lose all our stuff that we carry around.
There's always a way to get by.
It's possible to hitchhike back
from almost any place we happen to be.
And as long as we have our passport
we can be free as Diogenes.
While here, in Turkey, I wanted to find a beach where Diogenes slept in his barrel,
just to do an overnight in a barrel, as he did.
But why bother.
It was my plan for this year
to be the last of my trips made in this fashion.
I'm getting old, and I lost the enthusiasm for it.
But...
After a few days on the road, and after I get used to the feeling
it's just hard to let go.
Memories fade away, and I personally need this feeling
to feel like the government doesn't control me, and that Illuminati have no influence over me.
Although,
I admit. I did. I checked in two times.
I checked in once in Sofia, and once in Istanbul.
It was just so the Illuminati don't worry about me.
So I can tell them; the money you spent, you spent it in vain
I'd have sent you a postcard if you just gave me the address.
Because my card may contain traces of money.
Thank you.
When I was on Serbian border
They took me off the buss.
Only me. Everyone else stayed on the buss. They took only me from the buss
and they took all of my stuff out of the backpack.
They took it apart.
And I was waiting and looking at the guy doing it,
and his friend is standing in the doorway and asking
-Do you have any narcotics?
I said -NO!
No. I need some too.
Please, If you have someone, well split the money.
Where are you from?
I wanted to show that it's possible to travel with no money at all.
On some occasion Mors Kochanski said that if we happen to get into a survival situation
with not enough food, instead of
as they teach us on those satellite channels,
quickly go find some frog to eat it alive,
so as to make up for the proteins that we've lost,
Mors Kochanski says that we should simply fast.
A man can fast for 30 days, and
there was a case when a man fasted for 350 days.
It all depends on how much fat we have.
Since, luckily, I have enough fat
It wasn't a problem for me to fast.
Not all the time.
Whenever I was with someone, and I couldn't say "nothing for me thank you"
I accepted and ate some food,
but in between for two or three days in a row
I ate nothing.
I was surprised with how much more energy I have.
Because I would walk for 20 miles a day
and other than soreness, I had no wear or exhaustion what so ever.
The body is naturally adapted to use reserves of fat that we have.
During famine.
When there's no famine, on the other hand.
It's a problem when we eat a little bit during the day.
The body then expects more food.
It uses that food and asks for more.
This results in us being hungry, and having insufficient energy.
Another thing. In urban camping such as this
we can't cook.
Because we can't have fire.
I couldn't fit a gas cooker in this thing.
But i packed an alcohol stove.
It's this big.
I made it my self, and of course it broke while on the rode.
So I'll try and find two cans somewhere to make another one.
To make tea.
Yes.
Teas.
Herbal tea is what helps us
in these periods of fasting
because if we're not eating, we need vitamins.
That's the only thing we need.
And herbs are everywhere. I found chicory growing next to highways,
and chicory is a natural multivitamin.
Chicory infusion, burdock infusion
it helps us not to get sick.
This is a piece of a file.
I tried to forge something out of it, but then I gave up
so I
made this fire striker.
I simply broke it.
You just brake it. You put it in a vice,
you hit it with a hammer and it breaks.
and you break off a part as big as you need it.
And this is a rock.
They call it flint here, but
it's actually chert.
Until recently we didn't make a distinction here,
because we didn't have anyone interested in archeology of the stone age
and the geologist, also...
Anyway.
Today it's called chert.
The point of this rock is that it's harder than the steel
and you can fashion it into blades
if you break it the blade is created, so
what produces the spark?
When we strike the stone with the steel
a tiny part of the steel gets broken off.
The rock actually shaves it off.
And they are red hot as they're shaved off.
They're hot enough to light tinder.
for tinder, we'll use, char-cloth.
It's a piece of cotton that's charred.
I'll demonstrate, sometime in future, how it's made.
It's simple. It's made like charcoal.
The cloth is placed in a container
such as this, that has a lid.
You stuff it with cotton
There's a hole on the lid. I sealed it with wax now,
for the purpose of insulation.
And trough this hole the smoke goes out.
We close it. Put it in fire.
And the smoke runs out. When we don't see the smoke anymore, the char-cloth is ready.
I'll first check what side of the rock is sharp enough
to produce sparks.
If there's any
sharp one.
There. There was a few small sparks here.
But if it happens that none of the sides is sharp
you make one.
There.
So, now
we take
the
char-cloth.
We can also use natural materials.
We'll show that sometimes. We can use chaga.
Chaga is the mushroom that grows on a birch tree.
Chaga is the best material to catch sparks.
You need only to get it dry. No other preparation is needed.
It's ready to catch a spark just like that.
Most other materials need to be charred.
Here it is.
Thanks for sticking out til the end of the episode.
