I was gonna say im Nordic so cold and wet suck but the heat... screw that shit... anything over 55 degrees farenheit i'm sweating profusely... and i dont even wanna discuss if its also high humidity...
What ive learned from backpacking in the south during summer, a hammock is 100% the way to go. Ive tried tents, lashed wooden structuress, and even just a bivy/bug net on the ground. For summer the hammock is king. Nothing else is better at keeping you cool, dry, and SOMEWHAT bug free. I will usually tie two lines above my hammock, one for dryer weather thats higher up to increase air flow, and a second lower line for when its going to rain so i can rapidly switch. Permetherin/deet on the hammock and tarp straps also helps keep bugs off. One more thing, a rechargeable battery powered fan that you can recharge with a solar battery charger is a MUST if youre doing anything in 90 degree 80% humidity and up.
I’ve always done the same. Never thought about two ridge lines. But I would always use a length of bull line. Stronger and easier on the tarp. But if rain was expected. I would button up my poncho slide it over the hammock. And at the foot I would tether it so it won’t pull past my feet. This would also help you stay warmer on coolier nites.
Having fought in Central America and living in the jungle, Live off the ground and a A frame hooch over you is the basic shelter. Knot learning is a very good skill
I literally went to the comment section to bring that up. Pretty awesome actually. Got Rambo out here and don’t tell me it was a dumb mistake he made. He prob had to kill a bear or something.
@@krypticsouls6811 If you watch where you're stepping, which you should be doing anyway, you can wear those kinds of shoes. Sandals also help to keep the feet dry, and save on socks. It pairs well with what he was saying at 25:20 about foot injuries due to regular shoe/sock wear.
Being wet in summer is one thing, the real killer is being wet just around 32°f/0°c or slightly above. Not cold enough to have dry snow, no hot enough to survive even if wet; if you don’t know how to stay dry you will die inside 24hrs of hypothermia. Living in the rockies where winter lasts 8months, the cold of winter is easy if you have good gear compared to fall and spring. Been doing this stuff for 20 years but I am still immensely interested in seing the tricks and skills from someone who has done it professionally. Once again home run video boys!
This. Set the parameters so that the worst case screw up can be fixed with a 2 minute walk to heat and in cell phone coverage. Even the back yard works great if you’re in a circumstance where that works for you. This is also a great way to convince the family to start getting reps as well, knowing they have an immediate out makes getting them the experience palatable, just make sure to set the emotional parameters in place. Better for your wife to miss a nights rep than your relationship to suffer and she never wants to try again.
Tip: for those that don’t know many knots, buy a book on knots and practice in your free time. Also y’all need to do a review on the PGD helmet eventually. I see yall wearing it quite often. Curious to see how you like it
Haha we did off camera but couldn’t find any cut. Turns out it was old fake blood that had dried into the hat so once the rain came, it started to drain. 😂
Well if for some reason you don't have a bag of ash on you.... I live in georgia and theses guys are in Tennessee. Use pine trees as a foundation score it with a blade and the sap will keep 95% of stuff from traversing up to you.

I have prepared myself for this as a Florida man who works in the aquatics industry and works inside water for thousands of hours a year wet weather is my best friend, the cold is not my favorite. For weather 70-90 there is a 10-20 degree felt difference at the same temperature so 85 water feels like 70 air, anything under 80 degrees you will get hypothermia in 5 hours and faster as you progress through where near freezing conditions is only minutes.
One word for anti bacterial... Vinegar. Acidic fluids prevent microbial proliferation. Easy to carry and easy to create in anywhere natural sugars are found. Not a cure all but beneficial in preventative maintenance.

You should do survival type content like this for the desert or even a bigger city. Here in the deserts of Phoenix, Arizona, we don’t know what are these mythical trees you speak of. But depending on what area of the city you are in, the environment can be desert or big city really quick.
This is a good video, finally someone talking about foot care ,I see alot of people showing what's in there go bags but you never hear about wool socks and boots, I'm a old jarhead, and these things I did as a kid building shelter, and igloo in the winter my brother and myself would stay in them in the winter and the ones in summer to stay. Away from my mom and dad 😂,,cause staying around the house ment work lol but then I learned in the marines how important your feet and socks are ,I would even sacrifice something in my pack for the extra boots ,glad he leed you a little deeper than just shelter . Trench foot is no joke .
Rubbing alcohol. Dabbed on clean feet, morning and night, ten days before putting on new boots (or any footwear) or entering humid or wet conditions ensures your feet can handle anything. No chaffing, no blisters, no lie. I've known guys fail BT, because toughening up their feet never occurred to them. Good for gardeners' hands, too, come Spring with all the digging.
@billyandrew I'm not understanding. So ten days of twice daily rubbing alcohol toughens up skin? I'm not saying I don't believe you. I just don't understand it.
Nobody wants a burned out, infected gremlin that touched water coming home from a night shift anyway. Jk. Nurses can act casually while some one stuck a lightbulb somewhere dark and be cool about it. Just dont touch their pens. Theyll go full wet gremlin
quick tip from the PNW, look on the ground and if the pine needs make a ring around bare dirt, don't place your tent there. That is where water pools and makes life suck. If you know your in an area with a ton a rain and you will get rain, pre dig your trench with the water escape "tail" leading downhill away from you and your tent before you go to bed.
Depending on how much time and equipment you have, you could do what the primitive channel does and build your own clay hut if you have the time and equipment ie shovel, good food near by.
Mitch puts out great information. Thanks for bringing him back. That tip with the white ash is something I will try next time out.

US Army Story: I did a 33k Ruck March in 2010, I changed my socks regular but I wore cotton socks and I thought I was doing good by using Foot Powder. It acted like sandpaper, and with the cotton absorbing the sweat, I lost the entire skin on the bottom of both feet, they peeled like a banana. I was carried to a medic and they super glued tuff skin to my feet. I couldn’t walk for a week, and had extreme sensitivity in my step for about 3 weeks. Believe me when I tell you, I don’t ever want to experience that again… I wear wool now, and I will never use foot powder ever again

Carnivore Bar is a great option to bring on a hiking trip. It’s the size of a cliff bar, the texture is weird and the flavor is okay, the thing that makes it great is that it’s a meal replacement. It’s basically a whole steak condensed into a bar, so you get all that fat and protein from a full steak meal. Not super sustainable as they’re like $11 per bar, but I recommend giving them a try
Ehhhh on a hiking trip I want Carbs lol. Because pushing weight for distance....and you're blowing through your glycogen stores like crazy. Protein is great but mainly when doing recovery. So that's what I'd eat before bed but preferably I want easy digest carbs when moving or before a movement.
Boots and socks, one thing I went through great lengths to learn about when I was in the Army. No Gortex, wool socks. Really not hard and I never had anything more than hotspots on long double digit rucks.

You need two different editions of this: Louisiana and Washington State. Warm and rainy/soggy with lots of bugs, occasional venomous creatures, and occasional poisonous organisms versus, continuously 38°F/3.33°C and continuously rainy/soggy with apparently nothing to eat but trees. You could have a subsection for continuously 34°F/0.55°C and continuously rainy/soggy with nothing to eat but pine trees.
I've fucked up going camping in the rain and got pneumonia because of it. Learned several leasons from that trip: Waterproof your bag, lining your bag with a contractor grade garbage bag is a good way to do that. Waterproof stuff sacks are better. Always pack rain gear. Put it in the brain of your bag every time. Even if there's no rain in the forcast A tarp and some paracord can make a quick shelter from the rain that you can get a stove going under to warm up until you can pitch a proper tent. And finally, always pack warm sleepwear. Extended periods of rain can drop the ambient temperature, especially at night, and if you're even a little wet, you will freeze.
Love these videos because of the production quality and info given. But... when are these pants gonna be restocked. Keep hearing all these great things but never in stock in smaller sizes.
Nice job choosing to build your shelter on a tree covered in poison ivy. In a patch of poison oak. And before anyone says anything, I’m not referring to the Virginia creeper.
I dunno about this video... I cannot fathom building a semi-hardened structure like this vs either going soft-structure (tent) or taking a truly hardened structure. The use of those materials is questionable. I will suggest this (and I've mentioned it so many times so so many peppers) is dive deep into ultralight/lightweight backpacking. The overlap between that, MILOPS/SPECOPS and bush crafting is huge and opens up very necessary adaptation from military/tactical (tacti-cool) gear.
Great video. Cool subject matter expert. One tip for the majority of human beings dont make your platform on a tree with poison ivy all over it. His face was literally rubbing in poison ivy. You will not be combat effecient. Any woodsman knows that and what it looks like.
Is there some essential oils that can be used to ward off bugs and ticks? And would being wet necessitate that you need to have a fire to dry out, or risk getting hypothermia. Really enjoyed this podcast
Packing a hammock, a tarp, and a poncho is FAR faster to setup and take down than sawing, chopping, and tieing together a makeshift log bed. This setup may be useful in a civilian survival scenario, but it highly impractical for a hostile scenario.
Being cold isn't bad. Being hot is bearable. Being wet sucks so dang much.
40 degrees and rain worst and dangerous..
120+ degree heat sucks, bearable but holy fuck

David never had a Star, symbols of such actually breaks YAH’s instructions of not using such symbols like the heathen. That Star is a symbol of Remphan…the Hex
@@TopDrek well I did a long response to this question and either CZcams took it down or the channel. In short, yes. I absolutely know
@@timgleason2910 Okay good
Conspiracy _Theorist?_
I call myself a Conspiracy *Realist.*
You need two different editions of this: Louisiana and Washington State.
Warm and rainy/soggy with lots of bugs, occasional venomous creatures, and occasional poisonous organisms versus, continuously 38°F/3.33°C and continuously rainy/soggy with apparently nothing to eat but trees. You could have a subsection for continuously 34°F/0.55°C and continuously rainy/soggy with nothing to eat but pine trees.
Love what you guys are doing what tarp or poncho does drew have
I've fucked up going camping in the rain and got pneumonia because of it.
Learned several leasons from that trip:
Waterproof your bag, lining your bag with a contractor grade garbage bag is a good way to do that. Waterproof stuff sacks are better.
Always pack rain gear. Put it in the brain of your bag every time. Even if there's no rain in the forcast
A tarp and some paracord can make a quick shelter from the rain that you can get a stove going under to warm up until you can pitch a proper tent.
And finally, always pack warm sleepwear. Extended periods of rain can drop the ambient temperature, especially at night, and if you're even a little wet, you will freeze.
Mitch, you mentioned those pants you guys make. FYI, company is named Agonic. And they need to restock those pants soon... please.
This is the video I've been waiting for (I'm in Florida)
LOL, that poison ivy on the tree is stressing me out!
Love these videos because of the production quality and info given. But... when are these pants gonna be restocked. Keep hearing all these great things but never in stock in smaller sizes.
Awesome
Thanks team
Brother is wearing the bedrock sandals also known as the “air messiahs”
Mitch is the current day “The Dude” of survival….. if you know you know haha
W video very crucial info
I am stupidly allergic to Virginia Creeper. This video made me wince SO hard every time I saw it
The worst thing I ever encountered was bug and critter bites, and hypothermia. Staying dry and off the ground is the goal.
They were in fact not prepared for the storm. Look at all that blood behind his ear!
Lol awesome" I thought that very same thing when was a bunch of CLUELESS people the other day, that's from the movie a few years ago TAKE SHELTER
I never thought I’d hear “jungle music” as a DC background track, and I dig it.
Amazing video!
Ah finally another survival video 😁
I got the movie reference in the beginning. Michael Shannon is the best
Very informative video, good job!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice job choosing to build your shelter on a tree covered in poison ivy. In a patch of poison oak. And before anyone says anything, I’m not referring to the Virginia creeper.
Finally something for a Florida boy
Yep, Florida has its own unique challenges when it comes to survival
I dunno about this video... I cannot fathom building a semi-hardened structure like this vs either going soft-structure (tent) or taking a truly hardened structure. The use of those materials is questionable.
I will suggest this (and I've mentioned it so many times so so many peppers) is dive deep into ultralight/lightweight backpacking. The overlap between that, MILOPS/SPECOPS and bush crafting is huge and opens up very necessary adaptation from military/tactical (tacti-cool) gear.
Great video. Cool subject matter expert. One tip for the majority of human beings dont make your platform on a tree with poison ivy all over it. His face was literally rubbing in poison ivy. You will not be combat effecient. Any woodsman knows that and what it looks like.
Yeah that spreading itch is gonna be a problem fast 😂
Is there some essential oils that can be used to ward off bugs and ticks? And would being wet necessitate that you need to have a fire to dry out, or risk getting hypothermia. Really enjoyed this podcast
I lived in south east Georgia the fire aunts in that area are super aggressive and not bug I want around me if out in the woods
I have tried a lot of freeze dried food sorry there's many better tasting ones out there then my Patriot supply
I make my own in Mylar bags.
More cost effective, plus I take exactly what I want...unless I'm honing my hunting, fishing, trapping or snaring.
Great video, i love how Mitch explains things. I might have missed it but does he have a channel?
Yep, also useful in fictional extra wet places such as Matt Braly's Amphibia (Disney show & fictional Australia size continent)!🐸
Packing a hammock, a tarp, and a poncho is FAR faster to setup and take down than sawing, chopping, and tieing together a makeshift log bed. This setup may be useful in a civilian survival scenario, but it highly impractical for a hostile scenario.
love the intro!
Waving at you from Utah salt lake area
Vid on repelling? Seems useful
Ohh right I can’t forget my dewalt chainsaw on my gun belt
I have an umbrella. I am good.
Just by a hammock with a fly.....and a pair of woodland flip-flops....
these guys immune to poison ivy or in for a world of hurt in a day or so?
You and Grand thumbs videos have such a high, similar production value I mistake who the video is by sometimes lol
