I hope that the other videos will continue at that level and the whole thread will become sticky.

How to make a tripod
I usually would let round about 10 cm unused cordage at the other side of the first knot to make it easier and I would pull the whole thing a bit tighter with more wrappings. But as you see it works well like this too.
If you use cordage made of a natural fibre you can attach a strong wire hook in the long end for the pot, one side of the hook closed, the side for the pot open of course.
(Plastic could melt if you make a fault with the fire and you could loose the content of the pot.)
That isn't the most bushcraft way to do it, but it surely was the most common.
A lot of people used a cooking chaine instead of it, which is heavier but works without any trouble. The chaine has a hook in both ends or a ring in the upper end where you pull the hook and the chaine through.

IMMENSELY helpful thread here, thank you A+ 10/10 Keep posting good material, I find I learn better from watching examples than from reading about this stuff.
My prefered modern shelters are the military ponchos in US Army pattern, because it's a multiuse lightweight option.
In Europe we currently get the best offers with the used Austrian and German army ponchos. 800 g, 210cm×165 cm. In nearly new conditions they are usually offered for 20 €.
The Defcon 5 poncho (350g, 200cm×168cm) is in my opinion the best option for a lightweight Poncho on the European market. It costs new 45 €.
They should be used in combination with a bivvy bag like the Snugpak Special Forces bivvy bag (340g, new 90€), the British Army bivvy bag Goretex (800g, used around 40€) or the Carinthia bivvy bag Goretex (1000g, available as German army bivvy bags in good conditions for 100 €)

In my opinion his distance between fire an tree wasn't far enough. That could damage the tree.

How to clean the hands in the Woods if you don't have a washing kit with you?
1. Clean the hands with clear water.
2. Use white ash instead of soap with water.
3. Rince the hands with clear water.
4. Sterilisarion by drying the hands next to the fire, bacteria are boiled and killed in this case.
With the egg he demonstrates how hot the temperature on the surface of the skin becomes, if you do it like that. Bacteria will not survive that temperature.

Sand is a good cleaner/scrubber.
A couple of plants contain saponins, but I do not know the English names.
In a forest, ferns are excellent to scrub your hands and face with.
