Have to admit I usually don't bring a saw when I go skiing
Kinda unrealistic? Good video on how to build a shelter BUT the tools you use are not what a skier, a hiker or even a hunter would have to build anything if lost in the wilderness. So not really a survival video. Sorry
Well done young man, a sound hands on demonstration on a very vital skill set😮❤❤❤❤❤🖖🤏🍻🥨🌭
If you bury live coals under around 3" to 4" of dirt under where you lay you'll find it warmer and comfortable,,,a reflector wall opposite of your shelter on the fire would help, with all the small wood around you could make an enclosure, collect that fire
I have a 20 oz titanium coffee press , love it. PS let them tree huggers sleep on the snow!
I've stayed out at -8 but not with out a bag.it helps alot to build a pole reflecter on other side of fire, 👍❄️
I got lost on a hike one time… I over shot the turnout where I had parked and couldnt find my car. In my case it was summer tho … thirst was my biggest survival issue… I was hiking around a lake, but not a lake you really want to be drinking from.. it gets bluegreen algae blooms some years and dogs die up there from it from time to time… but i was soooooo soooo thirsty i decided to risk drinking from the lake. I got on my hands and knees and put my face right in the water like an animal and I drank sooooooopo much water… fortunately for me I was fine and never got sick or anything from it. I had my dogs with me and when i got worried they bolted on me . One came right back but the other didnt. He ended up being lost for 10 days before someone found him 16 miles away. I still have him now tho.. he is 15 and in good health.
How did you start your fire?
What do you do with the shelters you build on your property after the videos? Keep or burn?
It sure can't be good for your health camping like this with the amount of carbon particles you constantly breath when you are anywhere near that smokey fire.
One of the things people need to realize, and I'm guilty of this too, if I ever get turned around in the woods I'll push it until the last minute thinking I can get out. You have to realize you are lost, except that you are lost, understand that staying put is the best option because nothing good is going to happen at night. you're going to break your ankle tripping over something, or poke your eye out on a branch, you have to not panic. You're not going to die if you don't eat dinner that night, you will be fine for a night in the woods. But you have to realize you are lost and accept it early enough to build yourself a shelter, get yourself a fire. You have to get out of the "if I push just a little bit harder I can make it out mindset". Realizing you are lost and accepting it is half the battle. Not panicking is a huge thing, don't panic and blindly push through the woods because you have to keep track of where you've been and where you are going, what direction you're heading etc it is very easy to walk around in big circles especially in terrain you are unfamiliar with. Tell people where you are going, tell them at about what time they can expect to hear from you. Set up a plan of action, I expect to be out of the woods by 9:00 p.m. if you don't hear from me by 11:00 call somebody on my behalf etc.
Cool video. Thank you dude! ❄️ Regards from a cold Sweden! :)) ⛄️ 🎅
You forgot how good they smell. Both when burning and when just sitting there.
The only good thing I learned in the special forces was survival in every climate zone. Hardest was the deep Amazon djungel. The desert was also hard. Ocean was tricky, Winter and extreme cold was actually the easiest..
I heard that it's just certain types of rock that explode has less to do with them being wet
…the rocks ARE a good idea! (if you can find em).
All I can say is, that if I ever get lost in the woods like this, facing an ‘unprepared’ overnight, I hope that I have had the foresight to bring along a saw or ax, some chord and… the incredible luck to find TWO ‘fat wood’ stumps on the snow covered ground… not to mention most of the afternoon to do these things 🙏❣️
Funny how he feels he has to justify cutting down a tree because some 400 pound moron's Subaru ran out of gas and he sent an angry text while waiting for triple A and grub hub.
Maybe cut some logs to lay on the ground and then put the pine boughs down. Or two long logs then a bunch of shorter ones going across so it’s up off the ground and then the pine boughs.
In case you didn't have a tea bag pine needle tea isn't bad. You do need to know which pines are edible and which are not. Boil water, pour over pine needles, let steep 10 minutes or so then strain and drink. Has a lot of vitamins. Just familiarize yourself with the different kinds of pines so you're safe.
Dang, I got lost in a Sam's Club and couldn't find a place to start a fire……
Naive q: if y r lost, cant y use the phone's GPS?
