Much of this is very good information. Pine sap is one. However the moss on a tree for direction can be very dangerous. If you don't know north, do not rely on moss. Learn a more accurate way. Best of all keep a quality compass and a back up. In anything seek out quality items. Cheep may do well. Then again it may not. Your life depends on your choices.
Coffee grounds for thirst? I've always used a tiny pebble to suck on like hard candy to relieve thirst and make carried water last longer.
Never walk quiet in woods,only if you are avoiding man contact . Walking quiet will lead you straight in to the bear claws,and supprising a bear is not fun and could get you killed
0:24 well I just pre’d
I lasted till the potato battery. 59 second. I'm out
Dandelion coffee is amazingly good
When I was a young teenager I kept a fishing pole made from hickory near the river and it looked like every other stick on the trail All summer long 😊
Acorns ar poisonous dummy. Dint do that coffe substitute one or it could kill you…their is no substitute for coffee periood
I always travel with my coffee- grinds, potatoes, wire, knives, oils, guns, compass, etc…..yeah right😂 What if this stuff ain't at where you breakdown? In the middle of the winter, you ain't gonna find shit😂 Seriously, potatoes? I'll just call Uber, and have them bring me a fucking pizza and a ride home😂
I think you are forgetting something animals hate loud noises they know its humans so they tend to run away trying to be stealth will only increase chances of animal attacks
If you've gone to the trouble to carry a galvanised nail a copper coin, wire and a potato, wouldn't it be easier to carry a spare battery.🥔🪙 Or 🔋
Frequently bathing in mud also prevents the Predator from seeing you.
The moss one is garbage. Ignore that one.
Sunbear told us that if you see mice in your house in daytime, snakes coming out of holes & horses running in circles in pastures=an earthquake.
Frugal
good thanks now if i can only remember lol
If you see a terrapin going up hill, rain is for sure on the way!
That moss thing about it growing mostly on the north side is totally wrong.
Moss in my country points to the east. I have a jackfruit tree and on its trunk live moss and was it a mistletoe? A kind of Vine plant that sinks its vine unto the bark of a tree and live from there.
An old man told me that pine sap on the hands works like work gloves protecting the hands against slivers and damage.
05:07 I tried usin sandpaper to strike a match on and it didnt work so take this advice with a bit of salt.
Wild potatoes?
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine finding a potato and copper wire in the wilderness to create a battery
Beware of acrylamide danger in making roasted coffee substitute.
Thank you, for making this video.
Valuable survival hacks when stranded in the wild that require you to have prepared for exactly those situations. Potato battery? First, do potatoes grow in the wild where you live? Then finding two different metals? C'mon, man! Wires? D'you know anyone who carries wired while backpacking? I can't watch any further.
No offense bro but the mas thing has been debunked already like the sun couldn't do that though
Used shotgun shells filled with strike matches ,put one over the other filled with stick matches, then cover both shells in melted wax to seal out water, from rain,, to falling in water, the matches will stay dry, and usable especially when hypothermia is a big consideration, fire 🔥 is heat, and a life saver in cold weather or rainy conditions, fire 🔥 is key for surviving 👌
The surest way of GETTING SICK OR MAYBE DYING is relying on purifying water IN A GLASS CONTAINER. It's the REFRACTION OF PLASTIC that PURIFIES WATER, GLASS DOESN'T DO SHIT!!!! AND never drink or use water out of a farmers POND!! WHY you might ask, so think of this, just HOW MANY COWS, PIGS, etc., have either stood IN the water or right next to it and took a big dump or pissed in the water?!? Dirty stream water would be 300% cleaner than a farmers pond!!! And water purification pills are used in EMERGENCIES, they are NOT for every day consumption!!!! DO YOUR OWN FUCKING HOMEWORK rather than relying on this imbecile!!! 🙄🙄
👍👍👍
1:55 About coffee: acorns are containing tannins, which are bad for your stomach. Always rinse them for a long time, or cook em in water, and change it till it is clear
The advice you give with edible plants is rather dangerous. There are sweet berries that can kill you, and bitter plants you can eat. People really should study what they want to eat in their own area before trying something. There are also a lot of look alikes that are very different, one could kill you, the other one can heal you. It is a study, since we didn't learn from our ancestors what is good for us and what is not. Unfortunate treasure of knowledge that got lost with that.
Thanks
Pray to Jesus for guidance
Some of these must have come from after your grandfather got alzheimers
Grandpa carried pine sap in his underwear. He walked funny but he was always prepared.
Vaseline is great for skin dryness including nasal care. Also as a fire 🔥 starter: rub on damp wood and it forces the moisture out than allows the lighting with a match.
Aloe in awesome for burns. But I have black thumb when it comes to growing plants. Yellow Mustard works too. Tin Foil makes a great protection for burnt skin. Growing up we would use News Paper layered between a blanket and the sleeping bag for Insulation.
Moss grows everywhere BS hack.
Sand paper to ignite safety matches can work, but is not as reliable as the striking paper that coems with safety matches. Unlike strike-anywhere matches, safety match strike paper includes red phosphorus in the strike paper. The friction converts this to white phosphorus to help ignite the safety match.
Striking paper can be purchased separately so wjy bother with sand paper? Glue strike paper inside instead of sand paper or just switch to strike-anywhere matches.
Or, just carry a Bic, yank the child safety band off and use that.
Pine sap is the foundatuon of a great glue but the video kissed a lot. Don't let the sap boil or it'll become brittle. You also need to add a small amount of charcoal, or dry, pulverized droppings from a rabbit, rat, deer, etc. This stabilizes the glue. Don't add too much or the glue will get brittle.
The tips for finding dry fuel for a fire in the rain are beneficial for someone without a knife or axe/hatchet. If you have a cutting tool though, skip the search and split open branches to get to yhe dry inner wood.
The duct tape is 100% on target. We lived off the terrain with that and paracord. They did kiss cordage in the video. Get use to carrying 2 or more hanks of paracord at least 6' long. They're very handy in daily life too, not just for survival.
I won't use the "solar purification" method. Boil it. Evennif you only have a plastic bottle, you can still boil water. Tie a hanger to the bottle to hold it above and out of the flame. The water inside max's out at 212° so the plastic will be ok if you keep flame off if it.
Just no, half of this information is false
👌💫✨🌼
.73 volts on the potato. You just need to pay attention
All this started when the UN was founded. They're salivating for this because they've never been so close to accomplishing it.
Pine sap can be used as fuel as well.
Acorn coffee could be potentially deadly causing renal failure due to the tannic acid. The acorns heavy the tannic removed before ingestion….
You can also tell if it's going to rain by looking at the trees leaves if there pointed outward or backward then it's going to rain
