Looks so peaceful!

Very nice!

Most of them build their shelters in drainage ditches, best way to die out there. You don't have to be swept down river and drown , just getting wet, can be enough for many people to become unalived.

I never see a slingshot or wrist rocket in so called survival videos. During the great depression of the 1930s .22 shells were a nickel a box. Lots of folks didnt have a nickel. Slingshots killed lots of rabbit and squirrel. One old man told me how he hunted rabbit with a carpenters claw hammer as a kid. Practice makes perfect and a lot quieter.

Great video. Straight to the point. Thank you!

Enjoying your videos ! What a great place 😊

You have a great place to go to , wonderful area with almost no people. Awesome views ! I would love to go there ! Thanks for the videos !

This lean-2 isnt survival its staying alive staying out of the situation at THAT TIME to get back on track /make plans or to review your situation or to try revisew maps ,and set course or change course. Or to recover from injuries Temporary shelter in no way is it used for long term

So true! Although ‘survival shelter’ building videos are fun to watch, I suspect most are built on the film makers own land. The same with the tiny log cabins, they show them collecting snow and some pine needles to make tea, then produce and cook a 20 ounce streak with all the trimmings, made for fun but not real😂 thanks for this video, more facts than fiction. It got me thinking, why not provide a list of essential equipment a hiker should carry in case he/she gets lost or the weather turns nasty and they have to spend the night outdoors… assuming they already have the appropriate clothing, if I may start… a Bic lighter, torch, water bottle, knife, poncho, chocolate/muesli bars….

Wild animals mosquito,s , ticks its a jungle out there.😢

Wow! Common sense, how unusual.

Great job. I learned something new today

Survival tactics shown by a person dressed in brand new, clean clothes and gear doesn't impress me. For instance, if you should be listening, the pack will show some use. If the info feels good I'll review what else they've posted, but I should see some wear on the gear, tools especially. (Have they ever sharpened their knife, or axe?) Good job stressing the long distance trekers, snowshoers and cross country skiiers. Backpackers often have the new, unused gear problem. Don't get me wrong, there's good ones. The unused gear filter will sort them out.

Most survival videos are just "camping," something all Americans should experience-- which relates to the universal survival axiem "survival is easy- just don't die."

Who gives a fuck

We will see who really has survival skills if a G9 solar storm ever takes down the world wide electrical grid. It will be those that have a McGiver mindset or a Robinson Caruso mindset.

Thing about a ferro rod v. lighter or matches is that it is 100% waterproof (over matches) and 100% reliable (over a lighter). But hey, i generally carry all three.

Some of these guys are clever, but remember bush craft has been around for three hundred years, so nothing is new. These videos have morphed into throwing something up and cooking. 99 per cent are a waste of time as this one was.

Thank-you to the men that built that road I hope to drive on soon

Excellent breakdown of real needs and techniques as opposed to 'video craft'. Well done.

Lonnie from far north bushcraft and survival is the real deal .

So to summarize, keep it simple.

A few fish hooks? I lose a few fishooks whenever i go fishing.

Please try to make the video title more descriptive. Your video will get indexed better and will get more views. What's the software being used? What object are you removing? Add these into the title. Imagine you are on CZcams and searching for something and find a video with a half-baked title. How would you feel - clear or confused? Would you click on it and watch it?

If you are carrying "survival gear" in a backpack, you're just camping.

My survival kit is second pair of dry clean socks.

Great video, Colin. Thanks for sharing your trip with us. 🙂

Easily, one of the best practical, reality based survival videos that I have ever seen. Proactive simple preparation and staying off the ground (conduction) is critical to most survival situations. 🪵🔥🌲👍

What is more hilarious are the standard prepper bug out bags. These are the bags filled with the items they think will be most useful if an emergency situation comes up that forces them to leave their house. Typical items include spears, fish hooks, wire, spark rods for starting fires, a pull saw for cutting wood, a disposable tarp... Supposedly this kit of junk is there in case the government comes to take their guns or the followers of the beast come to put a micro chip inside their head but even then the selection of items makes no sense. In any conceivable real emergency forcing you from your home (flood, fire, chemical spill, hurricane, tsunami) a person would be driving somewhere else and at worst car camping.

I have a fire steel.and some fire rope... as an emergency backup for a good old fashioned lighter.

Like that show alone just seeing who can stay out the longest time to win money most can't last because either home sick lonley then just starving to death because make you stay in one small area spot can't travel find better resources what about 100 years ago fur traders or gold miners live deep wilderness months or even years at a time it wasn't for fun it was way of life it called just living native American didn't call it survival well till settlers came tried to kill them government put on reservations took all the land real survival staying alive long enough for rescue

Love the video. I subbed. What do you think of Les Stroud?

This is AI generated

there's little hope for people who are too stupid to take proper gear and clothing into the woods, which today, includes a satellite phone or at least, some sort of personal rescue beacon

UnBearAble Grylls springs to mind with survival 'techniques' pretty much guaranteed to kill or serious maim you - Although there are three survival tips I would follow 1. Shelter: Before dark, have a helicopter pick you up and take you to a five star hotel (four star in a worst case scenario) 2. Food: Forage at the buffet early to make sure you get the best assortment of calories 3. Stay Hydrated: The mini bar is a reliable, if expensive, source of potable liquids. It's a cruel world.

Best solution for survival/ emergencies is to not get yourself into those situations.

I agree with you on building a shelter from the landscape - way too much energy expended when food and time are in short supply.

Thoughtful video.

Not enough channels say, "If you start a fire you'll survive the night. If you start a big enough fire, someone will find you before morning "

So, WHO ARE YOU? I hear a AI generated voice rehashing positions long established and debated in the digital community. What are YOUR credentials , real life experiences? Most telling, you join the twittering bird choir To ignorant to promote the obvious- a personal locator beacon. C Kavanaugh

I went up Myra yesterday on my motorcycle and tried to make a run east out on the KVR. I didn't get far before I was into the snow. Had to turn back.

THANKS FOR CALLING OUT BULLSHIT CHANNELS

This video just destroyed most of what I watch on CZcams. I mean, I know you’re 💯% correct but, now I can’t watch a video without your words ringing in my head. Too many of these “content creators” (and that’s all they really are) just put out the same old cookie cutter crap and my 18 month old grandson has more time in the woods than they do. I’m old enough to remember Canterburys first videos (and the Kennedy assassination. Yeah I’m old) from deep in the woods with all that traffic noise in the background 😂

Well, you talk big. Strange you don't use your own voice. A.I. voice. 🙄🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

👍👍👍 .. wise words .. which will not be taken kindly by some You Tubers out there. 'Natural' Lean-to Shelters. I agree 100%. They are not Time and Energy Efficient at all .. not to speak of the waste of Natural Resources. For me, the best Survival System out there is doing what one should do in order NOT to get into a Real Survival Situation .. and if one unfortunately does, know how to get out of it safely, quickly and efficiently. 'Bugging Out' to the Forest in a SHTF Situation and 'living / surviving off the land' .. Pure, Utter Fantasy! A good share .. thanks. Take care ..

Learning to start fires is a core survival skill, but there are times when you need a fire fast...thats why bushcraft legend Ray Mears always carries a bic lighter and some rubber strips with him - And most other survival/bushcraft legends have the same mentality to be fair. I also remember Doug Ritter once stating that starting a fire with a broken/injured arm after a fall/crash without a lighter would be quite a challenge as well. People seem to assume they will be at "maximum health" in these scenarios, Doug is a pilot and assumes he would be injured in a survival situation...which is a good perspective to work from IMO.

Good video.

Very cool, I’m impressed.

👏👏👏👏👏👍
