  1. I follow 7 or 8 of this type of channel. I think this one is my favorite. Good info, explained simply, and not in a hyperactive way like some of the other channels.

  2. Love the channel. Its amazing how something simple you take for granted becomes the difference in life or death situations. Showing that there's many ways to make fire is extremely useful. What do you use in a more swampy area?

  3. I've been watching survival, prepping, and Bushcraft videos for years but this is the first video that actually showed where to harvest fatwood. I'm about to collect a ton of it tomorrow lol thanks

  4. One tip I have heard about is using melted pine resin and wood ashes. Mix them together and when it’s cooled down it makes a very hard material much like half-and-half resins and Hardener. You can use it to coat holes much better than just coating the holes with resin. I heard that Indians would use it to bind arrowheads to shafts and feathers to shafts. Have you tried it? If so what’s the best ratio?

  5. I feel obliged to caution you to be careful with those Dakota fire pits! Be sure you are not in peat or muskeg; clay-based soils are a better choice, or even more sand-based. Peat and muskeg can be ignited by the fire and continue to smolder after burying it, spreading sub-surface and potentially spawning forest fires in different places. We have this issue where I live in Alberta, Canada, so check BEFORE you set the fire to prevent a nightmare. Near to our area, someone tried a simple camp fire on what they didn't know was muskeg. The coals ignited the sub-surface layer. The water used by the camper did not get everything and it spread slowly and secretly beyond the camp fire centre. It took around 8 months of frequent fire department responses before it was declared "extinguished". I would rather camp cold for a night than risk it. Lots of other solid info here. Thanks for reminding me of techniques I had forgotten. Cheers.

  6. around here you can hardly find any fatwood or resin except in red pines. white pine dead limbs won't have it nor does white pines excrete resin to any amount. But I know where plenty of red pine are.

  7. For a water filter, I wrap a paper filter for coffee around the intake screen of my 7:58 water PURIFIER. Merely filtering and boiling water doesn’t purify the water. Those procedures do help, though. But one drop of contaminated water is all it takes to turn our digestive track inside out – on both ends.

  9. I just subscribed to your channel; I’ve been looking for practical advice, but all I’ve been seeing from other channels are wanna-be Rambo’s & slightly 🦇💩crazy doomsday preppers that just ramble on and never get to the point.
    Your videos are concise, informative, interesting, & I’ve learned new stuff that I’ve never seen rehashed on all the other channels…& while I’ll never hunt an animal, I respect your catch & eat perspective of Nature.

  10. Bro im not a survivalist but i enjoy the content but you really show practical ways to survive in a real situation that could save a life. The sock with the broken lighter was amazing.
