  • Wilderness Survival isn't bushcraft, or camping, nor is it long term wilderness living skills. True survival in the outdoors isn't expending a bunch of energy setting up a permanent home. It's set up shelter to protect from the elements with as little energy expenditure as possible and get out and back home to safety. In this video I show nine different minimalist easy to carry survival shelters. Copy them, or get ideas from them to suit your needs. #wildernessskills #wildernessskills

      Dave is not the only one loving your way of talking… I hear in the background somewhere like the tail of a rattlesnake ..if it’s the case careful !! Could be some bugs also…
      Please don’t hang up your CZcams video!! Too cool !!!

    The only thing I would add is a pair of socks 🧦. Nothing like a dry pair of socks to sleep in. Several packs had room for a pair of socks and an energy bar. 💖🌞🌵😷

      Clean socks are a must have. I think Dave is just concentrating on shelters

    • @suzisaintjames
      @suzisaintjames Před 2 lety +2

      @@GeorgeOrwell-yz6zx, I bet you're right. But he did mention several times that in addition to one of these packs, you'd have a knife, canteen and possibly a ferro rod. ... Now that I'm thinking about it, I'd probably have a lunch in my hiking pack, but an extra energy bar for an unforseen breakfast would be nice. Oh! And maybe a single serve instant coffee would be such a comfort whilst being lost in the woods. ... He did have a down vest in one pack and don't forget the ponchos, so I'm sticking with the socks... even a thin pair to wear whilst you wash and dry your hiking socks... My boots are horrible without any socks. ... You could always keep your tent stakes in a sock instead of a draw string bag. ... You see, on a hike I can justify a survival pack as weight training. But I have a limit... The little yellow bug/snake proof tent, a poncho/tent fly, windshield screen, socks, protein bar and instant coffee. (Maybe a few bandaids in case my tent gets a hole)... That's what I'd be willing to carry in a survival pack. (I like the idea of a net hammock, but trees don't grow close enough here in sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Sending lots of love 💖. 😷

    @beryls5469 Před 2 lety +5

    Thanks for putting so much work into this video, lots of ideas on how to be better prepared. As a hiker I use to think I would be able to stick to the trail and never get lost. I detoured around a down tree in a very wooded area, lost sight of the trail, and got turned around. I spent about 20 minutes finding it again, I was humbled. You never know when you will need one of these.

    • @Reallybigmonkey1

    Thank you Dave, there was a lot of useful information to be taken from each of the shelters there to be put to use in anyone’s choice of survival kit. I appreciate the hard work you put in to both preparing, and filming this video. You should never worry how long a video is, because us fans will watch you happily all day long. As always, sending much love to you both 💕 - stay safe from the (just about got some of our freedom back) in U.K!! Crazy times!

    According to the outdoor expert, Patrick McManus, you should panic first to get it out of your system. Ideally use the "Modified Stationary Panic" so you don't end up running into the next county.

My wife really loves warching you as well! Great having Nick messing with you...LOLOL. You guys keep things real and aren't afraid of making mistakes but turning them into teaching opportunities!
    I personally enjoy the longer videos.
    One last thing, thanks for exposing me to the many uses of welding rods for bushcraft! You are truly the best! Have a blessed day Dave!!!

    I enjoyed your video! Thanks very much.
    I really liked the sling pack with the single strap. I also enjoyed the "run around in circles "comment. I have heard a quote that is actually the very opposite of what to do, but is a great memory tool. The quote is " when in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout."

    • @Reallybigmonkey1

    Of all the bush craft/survival channels you are the one I will always listen to as golden. You have shown and explained everything better than most. The tent tarp with no door makes me think a Bar-B-Q cover would work too.

    Great video (as usual)! I enjoyed it immensely. In the Palmer Furnace segment, I believe you had a mobility scooter/chair cover. It looks similar to the cover I put over my wife's scooter. If it isn't, they would make excellent survival covers. You wouldn't be as crowded under one of those as you would be under a plastic garbage bag. Also the cost is between $16.00 to $30.00.

    • @Reallybigmonkey1
      @Reallybigmonkey1  Před 2 lety

      Thanks Buck! I'm glad you liked it. I looked up mobility scooter cover on Amazon and I was impressed! Anti-UV, waterproof, 210 heavy duty tear resistant cloth! That's excellent shelter material. Thanks for watching brother

      thats me. once i found a hammock and a hammock bug net i dont like the ground any more. get some spring clips, wally has them up to 4 inch. then go to a seconds type store and find a camo comforter. king size. i tie two corners at the foot end and two at the head end then clip the sides to the hammock net. leave the air pocket and it will take the cold well. i am not going to try snow but there is a big difference in holding heat and also keeping the wind from stealing your heat.

    Yay! A new Dave video and a cup of coffee.. I hope the rest of the day measures up!
    .. one time the BF forgot the poles for the kids tent.. I put the whole dome tent up with all the ridiculous quantities of cord I always have 🤪.. it’s absolutely possible.. it looks absurd and it’s not ideal for big rain, but it’s doable! LOL
    I have the components for a super shelter in most all of my kits.. here in the northeast, it’s possible to get hypothermia most of the year, so it’s a good system to know and have the bones for at all times, and if it’s just enough for 1-2 people, it’s not a BULKY kit, especially if it’s brand new stuff, a new HD tarp in it’s package fits down the back of a hydration pouch perfectly and still fits the hydration bag, and a new plastic drop cloth and big survival blanket fit just about anywhere, add in a teeny bivvy bag and you’re in excellent shape. It all fits into a teeny bag, and leaves lots of space for the rest of the stuff you’re nuts to go without 🤪, a knife etc..
    Awesome stuff as always Dave! Nice to hear Nick’s voice too! 😬😬 hope you’re doing well Hon!!

    Firstly, you love to talk, secondly, we love to hear you. There was so much information and excellent advice in this latest video that it could have been twice as long and just as interesting to watch. To me, these are the best type of your videos and I've learnt so much over the years from them. That shelter with the candle was something I'd never heard of before. Each of those kits were complete in themselves and I realise now how I hardly have any!! I really must sort that out! As always, many thanks for another great video from you both. You can, of course, keep the spiders 🕷️🕷️🕷️😃

    No dear, no one thinks you're insane, apart from Nick 😂 But he'll be grateful one day, that with all that weight training you got by willing to carry all these shelters and stuff into the woods to please us all with another Great video, you're strong enough to carry him out if necesarry (when a camera hits his head or so) 😂😘 Again, so much usefull information, thanks Dave.

    Wow. I see I can maybe drop some weight out of my kit. My own kit is in an old nylon Military butt pack on a 2" belt with canteen, tube tent, net hammock (more for camp chair than bed), trash bags, knife, fire kit, TP, etc., etc. In the woods or just hiking, where I go this simple kit goes, over my shoulder to the head or around my waist!! Ya just never know when "stuff" is gonna happen. Great info. Thanks.

    I think there are so many log cabin shelters on CZcams because the thumbnails look great and they get a lot of views. -millions some times. That's fine for entertainment. I like to look at cool shelters, too. But there is a need for videos about survival shelters. Thanks, Dave & Nick for taking the time to demonstrate these.

    • @Reallybigmonkey1
      @Reallybigmonkey1  Před 2 lety

      Very well said Doug! Log cabins are fantastic but folks need to see what simple calorie saving options need to be utilized. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching Brother Doug

    I enjoyed the variety. You definitely accomplished your goal of stimulating thought about the approach to the subject. And I don’t get tired of hearing you explain. In fact, I wish you’d work in more stories about your camping days with your mentors and other unique experiences like “The Mystery of John’s Mountain.” I think I’ve listened to that one at least 8 times. Thanks for the content.

    Great video Dave, some awesome point here. "Survival" has been glamorized a bit lately I agree. Its good that people are talking about it more, but only seeing it through rose colored glasses can be a bit deceiving. Keep up the good work!

    Great options, I don’t carry large packs anymore, love the minimalist approach. Can carry all the survival items in one of those small packs. I have one of those military waist packs, I thinks is ideal. Combine it with the gear I’m carrying on my person, belt knife, SAN, small backup knife. I like a simple shelter set up. Thanks Dave and Nick for another great video . Alan R.
