Many people have commented about my shortcut. Leaving the road and going through the bushes was NOT a shortcut. It made the trip longer. It was about going off road and negotiating obstacles, not about making the trip shorter.
This man spent his whole life without ever uttering “um”, “err” or “uhh”
Damn Paul, impressive rabbit drawing skills!
I want to know who took the time to color the drawing of the rabbit just for paul to shoot it
Crisis averted. 6 pack of Pop Tarts.😂
I walked through a forest to intersect a road going through it, didn't find it. Walked back the way I came and found the road. Made no sense.
Love it.
I tracked Paul easy that day. I found him shivering on top of that hill. Watched him waking up every half hour or so to collect the firewood that I was dropping off for him. I even went on ahead and spooked a squirrel out into his path the next morning. Pretty sure he never even knew I was there. He was so easy to track.
To be honest, if you have dry wood and dry conditions, a butane lighter and kerosene but cannot start a fire, you have no business in the wilderness unless your dad is taking you.
Paul is a legend.
I could sit and listen to this man talk for hours.
Paul is of course absolutely right about the gonna crowd, and the matter of being under AND over-prepared. I hike up some mountains local to me a few times every summer, and these hikes involve being out on the mountain and away from my car 6-8 hours at a time, often less. Even for these casual, local hikes in very familiar territory, I have a backpack with a variety of things in it:
Lots of bottled water – the hotter it is, the more I bring
A good sized sandwich for the lunch I know I will have at the summit
2-3 cans of something hearty like Dinty Moore beef stew and plastic spoons just in case
A simple first aid kit and a small bottle of rubbing alcohol
An Altoid tin with a lighter, Ziploc bagged matches and candles, and one of those cheap store-bought flint kits
Paper towels and a few terry cloth towels
A couple contractor size thick garbage bags
Two different flashlights with fresh batteries as well as a set of extra batteries
A handcrank weather radio with internal flashlight
A box of 9mm for my carry pistol
A large Buck knife
I also have my holstered 9mm pistol as well as a pocket knife on me.
My bag weighs 25-30 pounds and I have no problem carrying it all day on these hikes up to around 10k feet elevation. I’m a big strong guy and in decent shape, thanks in part to regular excursions like this.
I also make regular trips into the deep desert for a variety of reasons. On these trips I bring WAY more food and water than I would need even for a week, as well as all the other items in my hiking bag, multiplied by ten. I do all that JUST IN CASE I ever have a problem, and because there is no reason not to. It’s very easy.
Carl Sagan of the outdoors. ❤
And yes….this one is very annoying 😂
I love watching Paul’s videos! He’s extremely intelligent, and very well spoken! Thank you Paul for sharing your amazing videos!

For some reason that had me belly laughing.
Paul I'm sorry that come to something so bad for me to find you I can only pray 🙏🙏🙏 for you thank you so much❤❤❤
Becoming fat adapted pretty much negates any fear of impaired survival prospects due to lack of food for the average person. Diet is important. I can easily go 7 days plus with no food with zero reduction in perceived available energy because of this. Water is far more critical. Pop tarts are the wrong answer, sorry Paul. Carrying some pemmican or that squirrel in your pocket was the right direction.
Excellent content..
Coming in pretty late to this video but, anyone whose been lost in the woods at night w/o signal/GPS knows how easy it is to get turned around when you “think” you are going the right way
I once made a mistake while hiking in the mountains of West Virginia, it happens to the best of us, I’m a retired 11Bravo, lesson learned brother.
What a great mentor.
Mr P. H over 1m❤
Thank you 🙏 Sir. Excellent 👍 tips…and yes, checked my ego at the door 🚪😉👌. Take care always. Cheers from 🇨🇦🙏.
Love you Paul!
Paul you’re a legend man, I will show my kids this video someday when I have some. Your memory will live on.
Wait, "for those who are still here" who would be dumb enough to leave?
