Closest thing to weapons in Scouting - How To Earn Totin' Chip

Well, there's Star Scout, what are you doing? You are not cutting this saw correctly and I am inside your blood circle. If you slipped, you could cut me. This is not how you use a saw. Do you have your bag and didn't believe it? This will be finished carefully and safely so that no one gets hurt, as long as you do the proper training there will be no injuries and you can prevent people from getting hurt. Hey guys, this is Mack Guzmán, recording a video and today's video would be different because it's how to win the totem

chip

award and this is different because normally I would make a merit badge, but since this has been widely requested among my viewers, I'm going to make a video about it, so first

thing

s first, what does the totem

chip

mean?

The total chip is not a gasp from the guards, you say that it shows that a scout understands and accepts certain principles of the use of different bladed tools, which means that a scout without the award cannot handle bladed tools or activities of exploration or exploration outings, so by winning the prize. You will have the ability to use these tools and you will know how to use them correctly, especially when you have the opportunity. You have the experience to do it properly and also if you are at a campground and you wouldn't want to use all these

thing

s to do. lighting firewood to split logs and do all sorts of things, because because you have the experience to do it, it can be physically represented by a patch or a small paper card, usually you'll get both, but you know some people just They will have a card and that's it, I have both and also with this a Scout has the right to carry and use wooden tools like a knife or something like that.

It is awarded when a scout demonstrates knowledge and proper handling, care and use of the knife, ax and saw. You can't carry an ax or a saw around, but you can carry a pocket knife if you have this main thing to keep in mind on a camping trip when using sharp blades or tools like these. always wear protective glasses, especially when dealing with an troop. regulations and what they and the SPL think personally. I think any scout who wins the award is capable of handling the responsibility that comes with it. Some say you can't get it until your first class or you can get it anytime, whenever you can. get the award for me since i like it you know multitask and be efficient there is a tenderfoot 3d requirement and if you don't know already i made a video on how to get the tenderfoot rank so This is related to that 3d.

It says to demonstrate proper care in sharpening and using the knife, ax and saw, and describes when to use it now, which is very similar to the totem chip so you know you can do several things if you work one on top of the other. You can win the prize and share of Tenderfoot, so skip to the first requirement, read and understand the use of wooden tools and safety rules from the BSA scout manuals. There are many important rules that must be understood before even l

earn

ing anything you want to prevent. injuries and you can show responsibility among Scouts before you try to do something that has to do with sharp blades or something as dangerous as an axe, you need to understand not only how to deal with those different items but also the safety rules behind them, basic things like thank you.

Make sure there is no one around. You see the cameraman back up and I make sure he doesn't get hit and to make sure the excess flies somewhere and to make sure the ax doesn't fly, the handle there will do it in the right, but proper way. technique, so there are many wooden tools and safety rules. I'm just going to say a few that I think are the most important key blades closed, except when in use, obviously, that refers to knives, you can't really lock an ax, but you should always do it. Keep the sharp blades closed with a sheath or, if you know the knife, slide it inside yourself and whenever it's not in use, cut away from yourself.

If it is cutting towards you, you risk losing whatever you are trying to cut, rather than cutting yourself. You know that's never good and I've done it before because sometimes I don't pay attention and you know sometimes you can't pay attention even if you're so sure you're going to cut something that you can always have it misshapen cut yourself keep the knife sharp and Clean A sharp knife is actually safer and easier to control than a dull knife, if you think about it, a dull knife won't cut as easily, which means it's more likely to slip and cut something else.

The last thing you need to do is follow the blood circle to ensure that even if you or others around you are injured, number two must demonstrate proper handling, care and use of the knife, ax and saw. hmm, that sounds vaguely familiar for ten different requirements, 3d, huh, so with the assault of Of course, before you cut anything, you want to make sure you have protective glasses and I have gloves. It's usually not necessary, but you know there's extra security so you don't get blisters on anything, so with the song, what effort cuts, let's say I want to cut this area correctly. here you want to put it at that angle because if you think about it, if you want to have a clean cut like this, you want to keep it horizontal, that's what you want to do down here, you don't want to put it like this because I'm your hand on the saw bit, like this that you can hold it with one hand and two hands.

These are the variants that are most comfortable for you to start cutting and not tilt it towards where it is difficult to cut. keep it as straight as possible, start something like this and put pressure on it until it's smooth. What you don't want to do is go back and forth like this, that's not going to do anything so you want to make sure you're cutting it correctly and that's how to use a saw, stay safe, I'll put it away, don't hold it like that, that is the wrong way to hold a saw, keep it away from the handle, like this, using an axe, this is probably the time you want to wear gloves so you don't get blisters on your hands you just want to use two hands when you're going to throw the ax to hit it you don't get out of here you don't do it that's not how you use an ax, you need its momentum, grab it by the handle, lift it over your shoulder and slam it down when you're hitting it, move your hand sliding down to here, so that when it comes down, the movement will bring it. in the powerful blow, so I don't know if you saw it, if it was caught on camera, but a big giant chunk just flew out, that's all, so you need to wear glasses again, those things come flying at you and you can't protect them. your eyes, so glasses, things for your hands and proper care of the X, so this requires hands-on experience, you need to do these things.

I suppose you could watch it, but to get the full experience you need to. proper care and demonstrating it to whoever is teaching you when I taught this to my group about a year ago, I mentioned these twigs, sticks and logs and we practiced how to cut them and the different methods you can use. I'm not going. about the different methods because you know I'm not going to go into this in depth, but I will say that l

earn

ing these different methods on how to take care of and use these three different things: the knife, the ax and the saw, is very important and you should do it.

Understand them before using them Scouts must prove that he or she can do things Some requirements before earning the ship star totem Scout What are you doing? See the difference here is that this is a pocket knife that is different from the saw, the saw does it like this. you can make elusive cuts, this doesn't work, so close it securely and pass it to me like the good toad and the rules of the Scout Manual, there you have it, so with a knife these are different because obviously it is smaller and although it is small it can have a big impact on you if you do it wrong, just like Star Scotty was doing, he passed it to me safely by closing it and handing it to me nearby just like the rules I went over so that when you use your pocket knife you can I want to make sure there is no one around you based on the bud circle and also making sure you're using the right tool for the job, obviously to cut this you won't need to use a razor, you should use one of the bigger guys.

Requirement number three says to use the knife, the ax and the saw. Use them as tools, not toys. Only use them when you are willing to give them your full attention, like let's say you want to be funny and carving something on a table, sure could be fun. But is it really appropriate for an explorer to be carving while sitting at a table? I mean, if it's in circumstances where the Scoutmaster might say it's fine since it's like your own table, I guess, but it should get your full attention because whatever you're using. They're not toys, they're tools and I've had to stop a lot of kids and Scouts from cutting something they really shouldn't or like whipping their knife because they think they look cool because it's for safety reasons even though they might look cool but it's possible Other Scouts may not have a pleasant experience when they cut them, so again they are tools, not toys and you have received proper training to use these items, so do not abuse the responsibilities assigned to you or you have earned respect all safety rules to protect others number four, very important, you want to make sure that you don't harm yourself or others because you know that's never a good thing if you try to harm others, so respect all the safety rules. there are a lot of them, so to make sure you know about them, requirement number five respect property if you go on a hike or an activity camp that cuts down, lives in dead trees only with permission and with good reason and depending on where it takes place most camps require you to bring real logs of wood, they really don't want you again it depends but most camps don't want you to go around the camp and like cutting things out of trees and some prohibit cutting wood ownership, it just depends on the regulations, that means you also want to be a responsible explorer and check the regulations beforehand.

Requirement number six is ​​to subscribe to the outdoor code, which means you want to make sure you always maintain proper etiquette when you are outdoors and an important factor. Always keep in mind Leave No Trace, you know, it could be simple things like if you're carving or if you're cutting a log, you don't want to leave all the wood chips around and like the split ends coming out and dispose of them properly, either by putting them in one side or acting on the active area that you want to move away from there so guys thanks for watching my video wait a second so I've been talking about experience and proper training.

Why did a video stop here? What happens after someone gets screwed. I mean, surely that's it, since they already got the award. No, we're not done yet. Just because you got the Oh Lord, doesn't mean there aren't more things to do. follow means what happens after a scout is rewarded, depends on what a scout does with the toad, and certifies that the bearer has read the use of wooden tools and safety rules of the Scout 2nd Class chapter of a Boy Scout Handbook and this last line. It is important that he knows that ownership or use of wooden tools means responsibility and he accepts this in consideration of the above.

He hereby granted Toden the rights. Simple terms. You have to be responsible like an explorer. You have to follow good Scout etiquette. OK, what happened?. If you don't follow good Scout etiquette, if you see someone joking or see someone constantly pulling out their knife, we are not supposed to do it, a common rule is the corner rule, it is not official, but a custom of scouts was that if a scout did not follow proper conduct, he would lose one corner of the totem pole but the card and when all four corners were out, the Scout needed to win the prize again, so that sounds great and all but most of the troops , they don't do that, so what?

Does the BSA scan say about this? Well there was a post online and I've seen a lot of posts online about this but I think this one is unofficial but they searched for something specific so this person checked with Bill and Bill Evans is BSA. subject matter expert on all awards and recognitions and the toad and chip guidelines say that scouts' rights can be taken away if they do not fulfill their responsibilities and this third paragraph in other words, BSA does not tell troops that they have to cut corners for ship violations, but it also doesn't prohibit the practice, so if your troop says you can't remove corners, I mean that's not the case, it's not correct that you can remove corners, but it depends on the troop , if the troops say that we will not allow them to be removedthe corners, then you know it's their own rule, but you know it's not your stick that you've restricted, you can still do it, so this last paragraph is a decision for the troop leaders. and I recommend that you include your senior patrol leader in the decision and also take a discussion as a standard and enforce that standard.

I was trying to enforce the four corners standard because I thought it was good and let the scouts know that you were wrong. once you have a few more chances if you just take the full card away from them, then you know, yeah this is my personal preference, so what else can a scout gain? On the right. I made a video a year ago about the firefighter and tie-downs and that's about how to earn the firefighter and if you haven't earned it already, the firefighter check is another prize that is like the totem chip that must be completed, another thing, the firefighters chicks and chip toden, I'm not sure of the difference between the names, I just know that it is different, so the second class has the requirement to say to use the tools listed in the Tenderfoot 3d requirement, which was the who talked about the ax knife and the saw, you need to prepare a tinder on wood to cook fire, now I already went over all those instructions in another video that talks about cooking for second class and I will link it in the description below along with my video of the firefighter chip, but again, working efficiently to complete multiple requirements is always a good thing, especially if you keep that in mind. what you can do by completing this, so by finishing the bag and the ship, you can get 10 different requirements of 3d and 2nd class and many others, as long as you try hard to do it so that the Scout can earn various things, not only the prize, you can win requirements, so one last thing before the video ends.

Pat's location varies in the census. It is known as a temporary patch. Some say you can put it in your right pocket, but I don't see that for most troops. It was enforced that most Scouts put it in their Mehrabad band and some scouts like me keep it stored safely and like a folder or something or somewhere they can find it, it just depends on the variety of your troop , how your troop asks after SPO, so what? about the cards well, I keep mine inside this little bag, I just took them out just because I can't do it with one hand, but I have my signature and my bag and my chip and I keep them in this.

I have them laminated because if they get wet, they dissolve well and I keep them in this bag. I keep them in the right pocket of my uniform and my main reason is if I'm doing something like Leonard C or something where people aren't familiar with me. an adult asks me, "hey, do you have your token boat or a fire boat?" I can say yes, and show them, so that's the main reason I keep it on my uniform and you know, I think it's good to have it. with me at all times anyway so I keep my cards in my uniform and I keep my patches inside a folder so I always know where everything is and with that in mind I hope you gained something from this video thanks for watching how to earn the

totin

chip I really hope this was helpful and you earned this and if you enjoyed the video please like it, Turner notifications on my channel and I'll see you all in the next one bye.
