    Hi Les, I have enjoyed your work for many years. My 'ancestors' come from some of the same group as survival experts you know from Utah. My great grandmother Marshall used to tell me how much fun she had walking across the country and picking wild plants as well as killing rattlers for dinner. As an old woman in the '60's she would list them for me. In the early '70's, when I was practicing 'survival' we didn't worry much about the water here in the mountains of Eastern Oregon. Now... water purification filters are more than highly recommended.

    First. Love everything you’ve ever done basically. Second, thanks for the fresh content. It’s awesome. Third is a Hail Mary, wish for nothing more than for you, Joe Robinet, Steve Wallis, and Luke from Outdoor Gear Review to do a collaboration. Each hosting a trip. With each of you adding what you would to each others outing. It’s a pipe dream to ask Coke, Pepsi, RC, and Jones soda to work together. But it would be my dream to see the interaction and knowledge that would come from you 4. Steve prob being the perfect example of how all of us would be with you three. If you even see this, that’s all I could hope for. Big fan from Colorado

    This is amazing, that last 4 mins of the video where you talk about being connected to the Earth is very true.

  • @ChristianTheNorwegian
    @ChristianTheNorwegian Před 2 lety

    Tip: Snow + bottle + sock = unlimited water. Step 1. Fill the bottle with snow. Step 2. Put the bottle inn the sock. Step 3. Cut a vertical hole in the sock and wear it like a necklace, underneath the jacket. The warmth from your body will melt the snow. (When active/moving) Ps. You can use a string in the place of the sock. (But that's going to get a bit uncomfortable)

  • @TariasNiniel
    @TariasNiniel Před 3 lety

    Yeah very nice information video. With the boiling water theres one method i would have liked to see mentioned... Another way to cook water if you dont have a metal container, maybe not even thick plastic foil (would work with even a bowl make from bark, or thin foil in a dug hole maybe with some leaves or something "foodsave" layed into it to protect the thin plastic) Works great, and basically will work with everything that will hold water: Get some stones, heat them in the fire, and when theyre very hot throw them directly into your water (use 2 sticks or something to transport them there, of cause not your hands). If you do that with enough stones the Water will start boiling (actually very quickly). you will get some ash and charcoal into your water, but charcoal and woodash usually doesnt hurt you at all. Its hard to cook something for long time with that method... but as Les Mentioned, most bad stuff dies as soon as the water starts boiling, and that you will archieve with that method.
    Edit: Im kinda sure les showed that allready somewhere though ;)

    If you're making a urine distiller like Les, I would use the extra plastic to line the sand below the cup so the sand doesn't absorb the urine. I'm not an expert and this dude is definitely smart. I've learned a lot from him and will say I know what it's like to water plants and how the soil absorbs the water. Drinking pee is still gross but will do in a survival situation.
