    When I was younger I went down a deactivated logging road, used some orienteering skills to walk off the path. I went where humans probably hadn’t been for 5+ years.
    I built a lean-to shelter and brought minimal gear and stayed for two nights
    I will never forget
    It was combination of pure fear (mostly at night cause of howling and hearing footsteps around me) but also huge sense of accomplishment when I did things like start a fire, find some wild food, etc. and just knowing I could actually do it
    Of course before I went and did this I already had lots of camping experience, especially the orienteering knowledge.

      @@RyanMacWee 😊 This reminds me of a time I went camping way off grid. In bear country. In an area prone to summer thunderstorms. Thankful I had my dog with me. Bear did come into camp snooping around. Didn't find anything. But I did better cat napping in the day than sleeping at night. By the time i got home I was exhausted. But I loved that trip.

      Yeah.... Don't venture into abandoned places. It's really dangerous. Wildlife and bad people might cross your path. If you want to prove your resilience, I suggest you embrace a humble and minimalist lifestyle. Forget about your looks and only use the internet when truly needed. After you've done all of that, I can 100% guarantee that everywhere you go will be like wilderness.

      Coincidentally, I just heard that when one is in bear country it's MUCH MORE DANGEROUS if one has a dog. That's what'll cause bears to go off.
      Thanks be to God you lived to tell us about your experience. I'm a woman & would NEVER do something like that although I've had a few encounters with bears. 🙏

      @@MsSeckert i think I was lucky with the dog I had. She was a thinker. She didn't crazy bark. She stayed in shadow, put on her deepest bark, and barked once. Just a "go away" bark, and watched. Bear looked around, didn't see where it came from, and walked off. Would I have been happier if I had some wilderness savy man with me? Yep. But there wasn't one. And I now Know, me, God and nature, we got this!

    I am no longer a young man, I am 61 and in failing health. I have led a full life, but as I near the end of my time I have come to recognize (as did Ecclesiastes) that all of our labour in life, all of our achievements, are ultimately in vain. Father Goring’s advice to escape to the wilderness is spot on. Although technology has opened so many doors, I miss the first 30 years of my pre-Internet life when (if I was bored) I would simply walk outside and look up at the sky. I would gaze at the stars and the drifting clouds and contemplate the mystery and wonder of our Creator. Or look down at the ants crawling along the forest floor, and the autumn leaves blowing in the wind. Unfortunately, however, so much (not all) of what is online (and even what is not online!) is just useless chatter that crowds out our relationship with God. I am no longer a young man, but Father Goring’s advice has planted a seed in my heart. The question is, would I ever want to leave the wilderness?

      That's exactly what happened to me, 9 years ago, and two years later, I persuaded my husband and I to move to the Sierra Nevadas foothills of Northern California. A year later, we survived the worst fire in our state's history, (The 2018 Campfire 🔥), and we're still living up here in the wilderness.

The temperature had dropped to 32 degrees in late June. There was no moon and few clouds. The starlight was bright enough to read a map! The constellations leapt out at me.

      There’s a real world sect of ceremonial magicians that believe they can summon demons. They do it is via the usual circles and triangles chalked on the ground in the stereotypical manner. But also use an black obsidian mirror as a means for the demon to speak through via reflection. I think of that a lot when I consider my smartphone.

It is not easy in England to find wilderness, Scotland is easier but means many hours of driving first.

    We make a campfire and sleep rough. We go hiking and collect firewood and water from the river. They love hiking, and we pray the rosary together. In the quietyou get to hear our Lord speaking to your heart. I take my grandsons as they do not have a present father or grandfather. They love being with Grandma. I'm 57 and take my grandsons hiking all the time. I bought them a compass and taught them how to use it. I trained as a volunteer with the State Emergency Service and love sharing what I learned with them. They are awesome boys who absolutely love our Blessed Mother.

    🌟 Great video Father, on a very important subject. I'm older now, but when I was younger, I went out several times alone. It changes you somehow. When you're out alone in the wilderness, you hear God's voice inside you better. You're not distracted by the constant noise of the modern world. It's just you, the Lord, and nature. It changes you and helps a guy mature. Add some prayer and a gold pan, and you have the perfect "sourdough" adventure. The old miners ate a lot of sourdough bread because it was easy to make, and lasted much longer than regular bread. You were living the high life with some sourdough, some jerky,a can of beans, and coffee. There was no McDonalds or jack in the box. Today's young men need to test themselves, and live an adventure or two.
    🌟 I think you're quickly becoming the catholic version of Survivorman. Can't wait to see your next adventure video. Just you and a gopro in a tree for a few days. Great concept. Don't forget the sourdough.

    🌲✝️ Thank you dear Father Mark for being an inspiration to the young men, and to us all. This video reminds me also of The Lord's plan to restore Israel,
    by first "bringing her back to the wilderness". God bless and keep all the young men who will take up this 3 day in the wilderness challenge :) 🕊️🔥💙🙏
    🌲✝️ God entrusts to you his care of the young.” “Young people need good teachers, like visible angels.” “To be entrusted with the teaching of the young is a great gift and grace of God.” “Young people need the light of watchful guides to lead them on the path of salvation.”
    (St. John The Baptist de La Salle)
    🌲✝️“Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
    and bring her into the wilderness,
    and speak tenderly to her.” (Hosea 2:14)
    🌲✝️🔥Viva Cristo Rey!🔥✝️🌲

    I think it’s great. I’m a lady of 73 who can’t get on her knees and I’m looking forward to this video. I think this challenge to young men is awesome and I do pray that many take you up on this. What a beautiful idea, to be alone with Jesus for 3 days. I’m sure Jesus will meet each one of them if they open themselves to Him.

    Good idea for young men, better to prove one’s manhood 3 days alone in wilderness rather than going to war and spending many nights in the jungles. A young man gets very close to God when one lives that experience. I personally wouldn’t recommend that right of passage. Father you have a great message for our young men keep up the good work.

    You are right, Fr. Mark. When I was young I thought all this with men needing to prove themselves was just ego, but I discovered, it's not. I've seen where men really grow into themselves by doing things such as this. It's seems to be a form of self discovery. Not a bad idea for women, either. But lets focus on the guys now. I feel our modern era has been really detrimental to a lot of men. Be smart. Make your list. Go into the forest. Oh, and head lamps are definitely the way to go! So nice to have both hands free. And maybe a book on the local flora and fauna. I pray many young men are able to take up your challenge. Keep safe out there. Be smart, but Go
