Handline Fishing For Trout- Survival Fishing Experiment

Handline Fishing For Trout- Survival Fishing Experiment

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
While fighting hoards of biting deer flies, I ditch my modern fishing equipment and try my luck with so called survival fishing gear. This is the FULL version, if you do not want to suffer through the full experiment skip over to the SHORT version. I tie up simple fishing line onto a beaver chewed log, attach a hook and sinker and bait with a worm in effort to catch a brook trout lunch. Is this technique effective? Can it produce more calories than it consumes? Find out. I personally think, like all things, that it can work give a specific set of parameters, but is not universally as effective as modern fishing gear

Yeah I understood why you pulled out the lighter lol. Especially considering the size of the knife you had! Would've been a lot of work to carve out a friction stick setup lol. I love your vids tough all the same. Everyone does fishing, fire starting, cooking etc. You are one of the only ones who does videos of the entire process start to finish. Find the spot, catch the fish, then cook it. Makes the video a little long which might lose the interest of some but I rather enjoy it and think most true survivalist do as it shows just how hard and time consuming things are. And as for the sheath tip. I really do hate plastic or Kydex sheaths lol. I love a good leather one with limited rivets or all stitched so it can be a strop if needed. But I've replaced all mine with Kydex lately as I've found it can act almost as a small trowel. (Yelled at my 9yo at first for doing this now I find it useful lol) Could always find a rock and use it the same way but not everyone lives in rock abundant areas. I don't.

Try neem oil its a organic pesticide and its good for skin hair and nails (it used in lotions and soaps and is full of good fat. Ive watched all you videos, thumbed up as well.
I come from a line of hunters and Masons (stone and carpentry) so the world of thriving and craft is in my heart and soul. Having outdoor rugged experiences in other countries as work vacations I enjoy your videos and commentary.
My mother, disabled little sister and family elders now watch your videos. We run them long (I know the metrics, I'm home for good now, and in the entertainment industry) we replay, along with liking and subscribing. My family is from the island so I'm glad that you visited DR (hope you enjoyed our/your spread.
Proud to see you waste not want not, and have a respect for OUR mother (earth) Bro. Keep it up and be safe. I dont comment often, but know you have angels watching over your shoulder.

I just made a 3- plastic cube box for a fishing kit. Not the same as an EDC or survival kit, but a real kit. Fly reel or a yo-yo reel, monofilament or fly fishing line on the respective reel or extra line, hooks, premade fishing leaders, swivels, weights, . and then just the fishing pole eyes and tip eyelet. Have velcro ribbon for strapping to an outback tree limb as the fishing pole. If you don't use a fishing reel, then this is even better as a fly fishing rig, with a very long fly line, and tied to the pole bottom. You can have the best of both fly fishing or reel fishing in an outback survival event.

if you try this type of fishing again, try using a more tapered piece of stick, this should help the line come off easier-. if that doesn't work, tie your line to the stick, stand on the stick and keep the line neat and loose in your left hand and through with your right. If you catch, then you can use the stick to help retrieve your line and play the fish-

A beer can makes a good open-faced spinning rail. When you point the can in the direction you want to cast, the line flies off the end just like an open-faced spinning reel, and you can throw it a long way if you have to. You have to set the hook, too, when you get a bite. You can't just pull it in the way you seemed to be doing, especially with trout.

Thanks for this. I have also done this many times. In our country using a bait or worm is not allowed in rivers for trouts, only lures and fly fishing. That is more challenging and requires lots of planning before one can start fishing at some point. Also the fish are very cautious and one must not make any noise to avoid spooking them.

At 23: 18 you say -I think I've figured the casting out. - It's reassuring to know that it's not as easy as it looks, even for a proficient fisherman such as yourself. Patience is a necessary skill. I wish there was a fishing lure sized go pro so we could watch your worm and hook up close. Thanks so much for sharing!

Your videos now have too much of the sound of bugs flying by your camera. It's really annoying but I love your videos. You have a lot of patience when it comes to let all those mosquitos bite at you for those long periods. Keep up the great videos. I'm hoping to see your family go out together more often.

Wow! a great play by play of a brook trout fishing session. The repeated videos with Brook Trout has piked my curiosity some much you have a 76 year old man tramping through the bush looking for potential fishing holes. Hockey games don't have the suspense or effort of this. Brian 76
