Surviving a -36° Night - No Tent & No Sleeping Bag
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 03. 2023
- This is the coldest outing I have been on to date. The temperature dropped all the way down to -36 degrees Celsius by the morning. All that was brought with me is what you see... 5 simple items. This was certainly a test of my abilities in the outdoors but enjoyable nonetheless. Thank you to everyone who watches! God bless.
Extra info/FAQ:
Location:
Northern Alberta, Canada
My Clothing:
Outer layer - Waxed cotton
Insulating layers- Wool & Cotton
Base layer - Cotton
I get criticized a lot because I choose to wear cotton in the outdoors. Argue about it all you want but if you keep it dry it insulates almost as good as wool. Keep your clothes dry and they'll keep you warm. Don't ever depend on wet clothing to keep you warm... even if it's wool. Keep. It. Dry.
Are there wild animals in this area?
Yes. There's a variety of big game (moose, deer, grizzly bears, black bears, cougars, wolves) in this area. They tend to avoid humans for the most part though and don't pose much of a threat. I do carry a form of protection just in case.
How did I manage to sleep in such cold temperatures?
Simply put: my fire. Having a large, hot fire is the reason I was able to stay comfortable throughout the night despite not having any bedding. The fire I made was as simple as it gets in terms of long fires. I probably should have built it differently to conserve the wood but it was still an effective fire that did it's job.
My gear:
Knife - Helle Sigmund
Kettle - 9 Cup Aluminum Percolator Kettle
Ferro Rod - Made by Uberleben
Axe - 2 1/2 lb german-made boys axe. Bought used then restored it.
Boots - Sorel Pac Boots
Fingerless Gloves - Fox River Ragg Glove

I understand this kind of hardship ... last night I woke up and one of my feet was out from under the comforter. My toes were chilly ... Luckily, I survived it.
By the grace of God !
Ha ha!
It’s been 2 days, how’s recovery going?
One of those moments where you just exhale because you know you’ve got a guardian angel looking over you
hahahahaha lets gooooo!!!
I can remember being forced into a similar situation unexpectedly by my own stupidity. My brother and I hiked 18 miles into the backcountry of southern Utah looking for a particular pictograph. We found it, but totally overestimated our abilities thinking we could make it there and back to the truck in one day. We could not... All we had was a water filter built into a bottle, a bunch of granola bars, and a spare set of socks since we knew we'd be crossing a creek a few times, and luckily, since he was a smoker, he had a bic lighter. It got dark and it became very difficult to tell which way to go on the return trip, with us being in a maze of canyons, and not on a well established trail. We decided to stop and try to get some sleep, but it was just too cold (November in Utah, not quite as cold as what you had here). We even tried huddling in a shelter under a large boulder, but it was just too much. We tried starting a fire with the lighter he luckily had, but the vegetation was all wet from rain the day before and we were unsuccessful. We then had the idea to burn one of the spare socks to get a fire started, and it worked! It got hot enough to start the wet wood all around us and we took turns keeping the fire going through the night while the other slept. In the morning we woke up and finished the hike to the truck, probably about 10 miles or so that day. I have never been so happy to see my truck, and to just sit down in the seat of that 25 year old pickup was one of the greatest feelings I have ever experienced. It was tough, but remains one of my favorite memories from my life. I've always remembered to be more prepared since then!
Inspiring
I bet that would be your favorite memory. Sounds awesome/wholesome. There’s something to be said about the difference between going out to camp on purpose or being an average dude who got stuck out there and survived anyways.
This is straight to the point
I'm pleased this wasn't posted on CanAm Missing 411....🤔
And they say smoking kills. It saved your life.
Not bad for an emergency, unprepped basic shelter...👍
Thank God it wasn't raining...dryness is an asset out there...
-36
-40C maybe not rain
I lived far enough north as a child to recognize the different sounds snow makes when you walk through it at different temperatures. Before you'd even gotten to your campsite, I was shivering from the sound of "styrofoam" snow (so cold it doesn't even stick to itself) all the way down here in Florida. I thought I'd succeeded in blanking out those memories!

Shout out to the cameraman, no food no shelter and survived like a boss.
Also didn't exist 😂
What camera man ? Isn't he by himself setting different angles with the camera
More like shout out to his cameras battery life surviving so long in such low temperatures
Some people have no sense of humour... You made me chuckle!😂
The cameraman never dies.
Take it from a professional photojournalist, that was a fantastic video. Well shot, good editing, great natural sound and most of all very interesting. Watched the whole thing and will watch more. Thanks for the hard work.
Yes, I was thinking about his editing as well. Well done. Spare, precise, even 👍
Here here.
100%
Loved the sound of the crackling fire.
That's a great point. Surviving that weather and then shooting and editing it is two very different skill sets. Well done!
I've spent entirely too many nights living like this. You have the basics, plus you spent the night with sharp weapons, your vitals protected, and took the time to keep upur feet dry. Solid video
Deuteronomy 11:16 KJV
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
2 Timothy 3:13 KJV
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
lets analyse the lies through which are we daily deceived:
lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind)
lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave - earth is closed system, unless you want to drown, there is no other place created for us to live in.)
lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
lie: voting matters (fact: politic propaganda)
lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide, it should be not loved, only used as needed.)
lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for TO DECEIVE and 2 members expose their own lies, one is still alive, the other (Wernher Von Braun) place a clear clue on his own gravestone) - you havn´t searched - have you?
lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal - Georgia Guidestones! - who said it be worthy to forget?)
lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids. Are you a hybrid?
Lie: holidays (xmas, Halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)
lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare)
lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do)
lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge)
lie: religions are ways to heaven (fact: JESUS CHRIST is only way to heaven. Religions, no matter its name = masonic garbage)
lie: our dead loved ones stay around to “ghost” (fact: hunting and ghosting is job of demons, not of humans. We, humans, come from GOD and return back to HIM and all the stories of having been seen a ghost - terrifying, scary, dark, cold - again no job of analysing been done here by you- right?)
Lie: Humans have no immune system and we need vaccines as these save lives (fact: humans HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM and vaccines are created for one or two purpose: to kill or to cripple. If you took all their poison shots then later in life comes all kinds of medical diagnoses = vaccines crippled you - remember that)
lie: there is no GOD (fact: There is GOD, who redeems sinners and created us directly from the dust of the earth: Psalms 139:14 (KJV)
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.)
to keep claiming that there is no GOD and we aint created directly from the dust of the earth, we soon run out logic, regardless to we place “evolution” in our claims or not and our dead, whats happening to them as they sleep in their graves? - they decay away, becoming the dust form which they were taken, if it ain`t so then we are simply reality deniers.
lie: 911 was terror attack (fact: 911 was an inside job, meaning the work of your loved government)
lie: TV watching is of use (fact: television (TV) = tell a lie vision, a weapon for our minds, keeping it under MK ULTRA)
half lie/half truth: earth is a stage where everyone plays rolls (fact: earth is stage, a freemasonry checkerboard, where both side, black and white are masons and humans both in politics and regular souls = the naive public gets daily played)
lie: children are government to raise (fact: children are parents to raise, it takes 2 to make them, it takes 2 to raise them).
Lie: we live already in the matrix (fact: we live since birth in BABYLON which is to become “matrix” as Man - us, must merge with machine aka take the mark of the beast and then matrix aka false reality becomes to be 100%)
lie: humans are not intelligent enough (fact: it is forgotten fact, we all are intelligent, many have suffered the illness from this world, being indoctrinated by masons, cause who give us the school system which we have? masons did, because they need slaves).
Lie: love is low standard and = lust (fact love is high standard as love means>
John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Lie> do what thy wilt there is no body who has the right to judge you (fact> GOD SHALL JUDGE YOU AFTER YOU HAVE DEPARTED ON EARTH and Christians are also called to give out righteous judgment, therefore repent * born again * go and sin no more)
lie: slavery is over (fact: slavery was never over, it just changes a little as we are no longer buy`d or sold, still prepared through school systems for our future slavery, succumb to our slave lives based on our free will)
lie: BIBLE is man written and a fairytale (fact: BIBLE is written by GOD, through man, bible is not fairytale.
BIBLE IS:
BASIC
INFORMATION/instruction
BEFORE
LEAVING
EARTH
= BIBLE. A book - yes, book which we all need as it is only one filled with information and instructions we all need for life on earth.
Lie: Miss beauty contests around the world is about beauty of FEMALES (fact: these contests are about beauty of MALES IN DRAG)
lie: Medical “virus” known as COVID 19 (facts: real VIRUSES are in Hollywood and kept secret:
- THE TTM virus = being tare, trans, mason.
Lie: There is no truth, no right nor wrong and all is allowed as long as you are happy. (fact: truth is easy to find, search: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY and expose masons in masonry).
28 lies, should i go on?
Proverbs 20:1KJV
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Galatians 6:7 KJV
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
1 Corinthians 15:33 KJV
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Thank you for not burying the actual sounds and the authentic feeling of the video in a bunch of music. It’s a small thing but I appreciate it. I feel like it shows respect for the viewers’ intelligence to not go out of your way to make sure every fleeting moment has flashing colors or wacky loud sounds.
Yes! And even though I watched part with no sound I loved the captioning reading "applause" every time a piece of wood was dragged through the snow. Applause!!
It makes you think about what soldiers on the frontline had to endure during the Battle of the Bulge and Barbarossa invasion of the Soviet Union when lighting a fire would have got you targeted by enemy artillery and snipers. You just had to sit there in your trench/ foxhole.
Amen
yes no need for dopamine overload
bro how am i supposed to go through 20 mins of video without relaxing soap cutting ASMR and family guy memes every 0.85 seconds? are you insane?
This is the perfect kind of relaxing video to watch at 3am. This shows just how much work goes into surviving in the wilderness!.
And the video doesn’t even show all the dangers (animals, food, ect)
@@helloashtonn This video does show all of the dangers for a experienced survivalist. The only thing it doesn't show is the grind to get stuff.
surviving in the wilderness is probably easier than surviving in a capitalist society if you're not making bank 😅
It tricks your brain into thinking you actually did something difficult
4:43am for me😅
Amazing video with incredible sound and visuals. The vapor from the breath was proof to just how cold it was. I can't believe he went through the night without a -40 degree bag!. ..Unreal!
Советую посмотреть ТАЕЖНЫЙ !
I love the simplicity of this. Back to basics. No fancy tech. Thank you for sharing.
This is one of the most simple, but best bushcraft videos I’ve ever seen. True survival. No frills.
If winds come, All this fly away 😂
Only my 2nd vid watch. Totally BA. I No more complaint about low 40 in San Diego in Dec. Not to self on the food, tea of course flint stick. 👏🏽🤓

I've unfortunately had my share of experience with being homeless due to my own poor choices and drug addiction. Let me tell you, you realize how much you've taken for granted very quickly. Most people don't realize how chilly even 60 degrees feels when you're sleeping on the ground with no sunlight for hours on end..... Don't even get me started on the rain! Thankfully those days are behind me but even now I don't take things like a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in for granted 🙏🏻
Glad you got clean. My sister died last month of a fentanyl overdose. 59 years old. It's a damn shame. Homeless for 15 years.
God bless you dude, thanks for sharing, two years sober myself. all the best to you dude
@@PnutButter1986 That's awesome to hear. I'm coming up on 90 days myself and the transformation even in that short time is mind blowing. It really is crazy how we're willing to trade everything down to our own self worth for that next hit while in active addiction. I think back to those days and can't believe I'm the same person. Keep on keeping on brother. One day at a time ya know 🙏🏻
Same🤘
Stay strong, per the myth of the vampire it can only get in if you let it. Would try to figure out who/what got you to that point or did not actively intervene in time and remove the cancerous elements from your life without mercy.
The pictures, the sound; the snow, the fire. This reminds me of my North-Finland Vacation some weeks ago. It was beautiful, cold and cozy and had pretty much of a fairy tale. : )
Awesome, that we as humans can live in these very low temperatures. And you didn't even have a closed hut. I'm impressed. Bless. ⭐
I don't think I would go out in the woods to do all this. Good lesson on how to survive. A situation I probably will never encounter.
I haven’t made it to the middle of the video but I must say that I absolutely love that there is no music in the video. The absence of music creates this special atmosphere where you can feel the silence in the woods and how it is to be alone in the middle of nowhere
Say the Rolling Stones song Gimme Shelter would have been good background music. LOL
@@gabortoth3686😂😂
Agreed! Hate it when people set these kinds of videos to obnoxious music.
Yeh , music 🎶 would contribute to the theme of ruffing it in the wild😊
A good night’s rest well deserved.
I truly admire folks who have the skill and knowledge to do stuff like this.
How you think people lived before they had house's
Well most of us do now.. That’s why primitive camping is a unique hobby rather than a necessity like back in the day, dear sir…
Although they are lying to you, Mr. Genius.
For sure!
@@lastfirst78 🤡
I admire your courage, you made it look very easy. Thank you for making this video.
Taking life to its limits… Admirable!
Enjoyed your video very much. I really can’t add anything to the comments already provided praising your effort, I am 70 years old now and have spent many a night in the forest in all kinds of weather and conditions. I use to sleep outside in the winter a lot in Manitoba in the winter at times -40 c to -50c or colder. I made a custom down filled sleeping bag out of down jackets and vests that I would buy at yard sales and second hand stores. I slept very comfortably in those temperatures. I’ve canoed and hiked all over western Canada and still have a desire to spend the occasional night out in the woods and cold as I know by other comments that it builds character and self esteem that you can not acquire anywhere else. Having full confidence that if need be I could put those skills to use if called upon. Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy the comfort of my warm bed in my home heated by my old wood cook stove that I have to get up 2 or 3 times in the night to feed. I’m living here now in Nova Scotia and loving it, I feel like I have gone back 30 or more years in time living here. It is a completely different way of life from out west one that I can only say that you have to live it to understand what I mean. People are by and large very trusting and helpful as neighbours something that has been lost out west. Enough rambling keep up the good work and to all you other folks,get out there and do it, you will be a better person for doing so.
I am in ns too!!! I'm from here. Best place in the world 😊
This energy is so good thank you so much !!! It goes a long way thank you so much 🙏🙏 energy does travel, your experience pushes me to see more thank you , stay infinitely blessed
@@EarthKeeperSelinaMu where in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia are you living, I’m in Bear River.
Sounds very refreshing to spend time in the woods in the wintertime. I have spent time in the snow, skiing and sledding etc. I would love to go camping in the snow with just some essentials. Being from California, my essentials would probably be a little more than an axe and fire starter lol. Anyways I hope to make it to Canada either this winter or the next. One day.... : )
@@dantoth1386 River John Just beautiful here!
Just with how crunchy the snow sounds you can tell it's really, really cold.
Just means it snowed and then the sun melted the top layer and then it froze again. But for sure it’s cold since there’s snow.
I'm sure this comment needs "bruh" word for reply.
no lol... you can tell the difference by the sound of the snow when you step on it at -15C to -25C to -40C haha. spend enough time in cold weather, you'll hear it.@@trevor_corey8037
Most of you have never experienced -36 Celsius. Us Canadians are a tough bunch. +36 in summer and -36 in winter are both fairly common here in Saskatchewan.
@@trevor_corey8037not really true. Just because it’s snow doesn’t mean it’s cold. When it’s really cold it doesn’t snow.
The squeaky sound does indeed tell you that it’s really cold.
I have done and taught wilderness surivial in all kinds of weather including the temps in your video most of my 80 years. This video is one of the best and shows what a person can do. It is not what you take in with you as much as how you use what you have. Basic shelter can be everywhere and a hot fire and staying dry and hydradited is a must. Very well done and you have most likely saved someone's life down the road.
True I love watching the survival shelters you always learn new stuff and I think k it's so important.
I used to sleep a few times in Siberian taiga, and we made campfires similar to that of yours, human height long, but composed of three logs, each is 1 ft. in diameter, that thing could burn for 7ish hours and we didn’t have to feed it new firewood, you should try that type of campfires. Also, making a bed out of straight branches helps, as it elevates you from the surface and you lose a lot less heat. Great video overall, I felt cozy watching it👍🏻
I was thinking the same thing.
We call them trench fires and they really do keep you warmer. Paired with a lean-to, bed of boughs and you're good to go.
Siberian log fire .
У нас в России - этот вариант костра называется - НОДЬЯ или таёжный костёр! 🔥
We did this as part of a cold weather operators course in the British army. We were in Estonia and the Royal Marines took us out for Three nights. Night three was basically this. Brilliant experience. The cold was just breathtaking.
I travel up to Finland alot and although the actual temperature there is normally lower I find Estonia bone chilling cold, that breeze off the Baltic is something else..

so much respect - thank you for sharing your knowledge
If ya don't mind a random suggestion, but I think building a heat reflector behind the fire would certainly have helped warm that rootball / clay/ dirt compaction a little better, as well as the space itself. Two sets of uprights and a simple stack of 'rods' to form a wall behind the fire should do it.
As you did not write anything silly, your comment has not got many likes. That speaks volumes about the people on the Net.
Yeah it was called lumberjack radiator where i lived.
Was going to suggest the same. Kinda surprised he didn't.
@@paweplaczek2191, simple and suggestive!
@@TheTurinturumbar, he says in the About section that he is not an expert. It might just not have crossed his mind to use a reflector at the time.

Thank you and God bless you.
Absolutely mind-blowing! Your survival skills and resilience are truly remarkable. Enduring such extreme conditions without a tent or sleeping bag takes guts and determination. Your resourcefulness in creating shelter and staying warm is incredibly impressive. This video is a testament to human adaptability and the power of the human spirit. It's both inspiring and humbling to witness your journey. Thanks for sharing this incredible adventure with us - it's a reminder of the strength we carry within ourselves.
The first fire should have been under where you were planning to sleep. When it got to coals, bury it with the dirt and transfer the fire forward to in front. This would give you maximum protection from extreme cold.
ya cause u would know
I mean why are you assuming he wouldn't? Maybe he knows about this stuff lol
@@anthonymontali3551He's right, and your fire stones can be dug into a trench that gets filled with warm dirt from the stump, for a warm bed.
That's right
@@LukeParonyou never know people learn something new everyday.
Great video. For future consideration I think it would have been great to see a second thermometer inside your shelter somewhere so we could see the difference in temperature.
think its safe to say with the fire he is fine and warm. biggest thing is why go to such length to pretend that you are gonna be living out there for days not just a single night but hey its fun to pretend
@@03Luka03 what a dumb comment
@@03Luka03 it could save someones life applying this in a real situation
LMAO it's super fake, I don't think a second thermometer readout would help you basement dwelling dorks survive 20 minutes waiting for a late bus let alone a night in the wilderness 🤣
@@dariunperkey4649it wouldn’t really. The fire is the only part of the video that would help you and thats common sense. He didn’t teach you how to find food and his shelter is not safe for predators. So this video dosent really teach you about survival its just entertaining.
This guy and outdoor boys are such good channels, you learn so much and get to enjoy seeing someone enjoy nature, he surely lives in a place I would love to see one day. Happy trails and god bless to you to!!!
God bless you! Very realistic, entertaining, educational and inspirational video. Thank you!
Finally someone who not only shows you how to survive but actually narrates himself. Awesome job😉
"alone in the wilderness" watch that. Pretty much the first "survival blog" ever made and self narrated about the Alaskan frontier. You'll enjoy it no doubt
@@KEPSAGAMER ...thank you I will definitely watch it.
@gina parker-langley well of course lol, why wouldn't they. That's why I like the "alone in the wilderness" documentary. The dude actually lived in Alaska by himself and built a log cabin by hand. He had some supplies flown in now and again, but this was the late 1960s that this guy did this. He lived there for 20 years and died around his late 80s
@gina parker-langley do you think he was wandering around in the woods and actually had to survive and also happened to have a tripod for filming? It's a purposeful scenario to show ideas of what can be done.
The point isn’t the narration but whether it’s useful/worthwhile. Too many CZcamsrs like to hear themselves talk.
As a fellow Western Canadian, I wasn't concerned much, as long as you had fire. My main concern for you in this video, was whether or not your car would start when you were ready to leave😂
😄
His backyard is within walking distance I assume 😆
As a fellow Albertan, I was thinking the same too. Fire & shelter are not issues. Starting your vehicle after -36C night.. assuming he didn't plug it in. ;-)
do you have bears and wolfs in canada? I would be scared do this in my country because of dangerous animals
@@hhhhhbztb there are grizzly and black bear as well as wolves in most of alberta. The bears are asleep that time of year. I camp out throughout the year and rarely have issues. The odd time there is my rifle is handy.
There is a Civil War (US) movie called Cold Mountain. The actual area in which the story is based is here in NC. My wife and I wanted to climb the mountain because we both enjoyed the book and the movie. I made some hard tack and took some coffee as part of a reenactment. I took a copy of the last chapter of the book to read. It was great. Hardtack was also called “molar breaker”.
Very good video in all respects.
When I was 11/12 y/o I did winter camping a couple times.
Shelter made with sticks and a tarp. I’m 41 now and these types of videos inspire me. I might have to give it a go again.
Very simple setup you provided yourself with. Fantastic ! Thanks for sharing.
Having actually done this, in an actual survival situation I can say that you did almost the same thing I did. That was back in about 1975...so pre youtube LOL. It was -15F so similar temperature and I had just fallen through the ice up to my chest with snowshoes on. So after getting out the first item of survival was a fire...a big fire to get warm and somewhat dry. Then did pretty much what you did. Spruce boughs to rest on. A fire that reflected into a makeshift shelter. Minus the luxuries of food and water. I hiked out the next morning in dry and warm. Enjoyed the video
If winds come, all this fly away 😂
Yes..someone needs to do a video on surviving a night at below zero with no trees. A snow trench works...
@@LionMetalMusic-videochannel
great video with memorable learning tips for those actually interested in learning!😊
Thank you...interesting...we are lucky to live in modern times...
No, wind doesn't get to bad in a forest
Part of the reason why I love watching these videos is that it makes me appreciative for what we have now. Homes with heating and coolness, running water and electricity, whenever we need.
And I can't help but want to live this kind of harsh life sometimes, in order to constantly remind myself what it used to be like for many people a long time ago, and experience what they did.
Yup me too it's called camping as it's close to nature till u close the door on ur camper n cook up sum burgers watch a lil telly
@@BillyMellonNah he's talking about doing without all that and just being out there like this dude in the video, people in the 1700 and 1800s lived without modern conveniences.

While I would never do this kind of experiment, you made it worthwhile to watch. Very interesting thinking about what I'd do if I was ever caught out in the cold.
Keep it up man God be with you and stay warm.

@@DJRoyalEdoquit being a pretentious dickhead dude, just because you never leave your basement doesn’t mean other people don’t
What if you don't have those tools with you, and you don't have a fallen tree? A survival tip from Finland. Make a "snow cave". Collect the snow in a big pile. Make sticks about 30 centimeters long from the branches, which are inserted on all sides on the surface of the snow pile. After that, a cave is dug in the snow pile. The cave protects against frost, wind and snow. That's how you get through the next day. It doesn't matter how cold it is outside. 👍
Isn't that just a igloo. Also wouldn't the ground draw all your heat out throught the night
Thanks im in VA we only get a foot or two every couple years and then less others. Cold rain and ice and sleep.
@@theturboassslayer7354 I guess I've been doing it backwards
@@mikecrews2713 I'm in Roanoke
Snow caves are great! The style your describing is a quinzee. As I recall, the interior will heat up to about 60°f - no matter how cold it is outside. Best to make the floor or sleeping platform higher than the entrance so the cold isn't just flowing in where you lay. And you'll need a vent hole. Smooth the inside walls as much as possible because they'll drip wherever there's a bump. As it is, whether you're building a snow cave or a quinzee, it's wet work - from both carving out the interior and from sweat. Once it's done it's great but unless you get dry it's no picnic. Finally, a quinzee requires a lot of snow and it takes a fair amount of time to build, including an hour or two for sintering before carving it out. Failing to wait for the snow pile to settle results in it collapsing while you're digging. And that's no fun!
Nothing but respect for you and your knowledge That's what people need to know thank you awesome 😎
Thank you for this experience!!
I remember surviving-20 back in 1994 when i was 14, I lived at a group home for troubled kids back then. They used these techniques to change our way of thinking at that age and make us productive members of society lol. We had to make bow drills and had oxo cubes and a tin can, fishing line and a hatchet. We had to make it 2 nights to pass. Loved every minute of it. We were down by Longview alberta . Pretty much on the kananaskis border. Love the vid. CHEERS
Or just preparing you for your upcoming reality.
Either way good experience. 😂
Imagine the impact of taking inner city kids to do this. Maybe crime would go down and they would act civilized and grateful instead of acting like thugs.
@@CookieZ3353 Could you imagine going for a hike in the woods and being surrounded by gangs of innercity thugs bored out of their minds?!! lmao...i do agree with you.
Bored ?? Out of their element.... I would say scared and hungry 😂 Lions..Tigers..and Bears..
😮... 😂😂
This is the sort of guy you want around in a survival situation for sure.
That is right, someone who will give you click bait. Good going Idiot.
@@johngalt969 😂 easy there tiger
@@johngalt969 you eat him first??!! 😂😂😂😂
@@johngalt969 Your insecurities dont talk, they scream. Which ironically enough isn't how you'll go. Unstable men are always killed quietly after the first since they lashed out. Can't be having tantrums with everything on the line. Thanks for building us the fire though, we'll be sure to sear you up nicely over it. XD
@@johngalt969 i would have had the fire a lot lot closer to the entrance, or even have made a smaller fire inside
I live outside in a tent. Even in winter time. I love stuff like this.
This is one of the best videos I ever watched, this is how you should camping, be a part of nature!
You make survival in killing temperatures look simple, entertaining, and calming. You've earned a subscriber
Do you see the man's breath? No you do not therefore you have been duped by your own Gullibility.
@@lastfirst78 at multiple points, yes. I skipped to a random part of the video, happened to be 6:30 and watched for 10 seconds. As his breath gets labored, yes you can see his breath. You typically do not see the breath coming from ones nose, but rather the mouth. At every point in which his breath becomes labored and he begins exhaling through his mouth, you can see breath clearly.
You sir are an artist of wishy washy conspiracy.
And an idiotic one at that.
@Last First real fake snow lol. Definitely cold enough to get hypothermia and die, dingle.
@@lastfirst78 9:40, 13:30, 15:54, 17:13. You want more? Or are you happy Mr. Keyboard Warrior who hasnt spent a single night outside?
@@lastfirst78 all the time, yes.
0:11 Having grown up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, I can tell you it is bloody cold out from the sound of his footsteps in the snow alone.
Ha! I thought the same thing.
Montana here. Ya I noticed that as well.
Incredible workmanship on the 'cabin' against the old log and dirt. And the tent, the bark and the fire system. Chow and spruce drink looked very good. Superb job. You excelled. Look forward to more. Thank YOU, Kusk Bushcraft.
Thanks for posting this. Simplicity can be so freeing. Happy trails to you as well.
If you dig about 8 - 12 in below your sleeping place, you can put the coals from your fire in there and cover back up with dirt, sticks, & branches. Will keep you toasty warm all night and the ground won't be so hard to sleep on.
Really hard to dig frozen ground....
I had a temp job working in a frozen foods warehouse, -17º to -22ºf, eight hrs every night. Until you've been in that kind of cold you simple cannot comprehend just how genuinely brutal it truely is. First couple weeks you MUST leave the freezer to warm up every 15 - 20 min, then every 45 min or so for another week or two, sometime between the first and second month you can finally start staying in all night.
I simply have no words for how sincerely impressed I am.
Great video, thank you!
Same job my shins feel the cold pain most
I've had to work in -32c as a teenager where each time I touched metal my fingertips froze on it instantly. Now I'm planning to retire to Thailand. Guess why?
@@dingdong2103 To get a ripstart?
@@NinjaFish2000 That must be something of your preference 😂

Great video!
Love how simple you made it.
Wow!!! I am impressed to say the least!! Thanks for the tips and thanks for sharing your experience!!!
I live in Finland and this video brought back some memories from back in the days when I was in the military. There I slept probably over 50 nights in the woods in a tent and two nights under the stars during my service time. Tough but interesting times.
My dad,who is long gone camped out pretty much every night from June 6th 1944 to late May 1945..,first in France than in Germany...when we were kids in the 50`-60`s we did not understand why he wanted no part in camping out........
@@peterjohnson617 😂
Same. I hated it but somehow it was still mystical and I kinda miss those times. I think at most, we had like 27 celsius cold and we spent 11 days in the forest during the longest trip.
@@peterjohnson617 - Great comment! Reading the surviving diaries of WW2 veterans, it’s not commonly known how miserable the Summer of 1944 was, only to be followed by a terrible Winter. Did your father suffer any long-term health effects from his forced camping expedition?
weren't you scared of wolfs and bears?
As an Australian who did a lot of this as a younger man, I found this really interesting. I would have been worried about ticks, snakes and spiders while sleeping in such a place. Then I realised just how cold it was!
As an Indian Mizo I have no experience doing so, not worried about ticks, mice and brown bear 😂😂
Did you not see the snow?
Yeah but he's also not in Australia, where you have ten times as many snakes and spiders as you do livestock
@@Fitbitz it’s Australia. Most of us have never seen snow so we don’t know what it looks like🤪😝
@Levario Jones snakes have poison, ticks can have diseases, and spiders shouldn't be a worry
The crunch of the biscuits and the crackling of the fire. ❤ It.
That was insane much respect 👏💪🔥
I would also suggest collecting rocks, about 10 inch sized and add them around the fire, preferably double stacked. If stones are too scarce, you should add what you find in front of where you are sitting. The extra radiating heat will make a difference, in some cases huge.
Rocks for sure. I kept wondering why they are used.
Good idea!
36 degrees? I could survive that butt bone naked .
Careful what rocks you use though. Some will explode when thrown onto a fire.
well which ones explode? knowledge shd be shared!
You have a hardcore niche here buddy! Nobody is doing that real of survival bushcraft in absolute deadly circumstances! You’re practicing stuff I’ve only heard and read about. Great video!
Thank you for watching! I really appreciate the support.
Agreed !!! If people only knew just how cold this really was... YIKES!!!!
i was thinking the same thing.
@@survivalnerd-xl4wraww nerd, you had to take a course
@Survivalnerd Nothing wrong with recording something like this, also it is true that very few people try this kind of thing. I have met perhaps 5 adults who enjoy survival style camping and that is in the fairly moderate climate of England. You also sound like a bit of an arse.
Love this beautiful outdoor video simple and easy
Mors Kochanski would be proud... of both your ability to thrive in winter wilderness conditions, and by the items you chose. Well done, Ryley. You made a really nice camp. Thanks for taking us along.
I watch this and it reminds me of my brother who goes on bush expeditions here in Ontario, Canada. The first time he went out, he comes back and tells me a story where he's around the fire at night after a day of setting up camp. He was staring into the fire when next thing he knows, he passes out and wakes up to the fire almost out, glowing, and the sound of a bear huffing. Even with being armed with his shotgun, he tells me it's one of the scariest times he's had where all he could think about was me and my parents

On 20 February 1980, a DNS Officer and myself were stranded overnight on Lianol Lake, just north of the Albany R., west of the Reindeer R. in northern Saskatchewan. It was -39C at sunset. Our setup didn't look a lot different to yours, and we were fine when they picked us up in the morning. Your video is pretty good, but anyone doing this for fun, be aware. This is lethal weather. You can die really easily in the winter bush.
You the Man . God bless You .
You are doing a nice job. Its fun to watch how you have been improving your property. Also, a tip, when hens molt they need more protein to grow their new feathers. You may want to up her protein. Thanks for your videos. 😊
The fact someone decided to go through this just to make a youtube video i commend this man, this is real talent and wild 🙏🏼 impressive
So simple, so quiet, so peaceful...
What an amazing treat in todays fast pace society.
I enormously enjoyed this video of inner peace. Thanks mate for doing that and for uploading such a great piece of art 😍
Great! Everything you do is for yourself. Very very impressive!
Greetings from Elmwood, Wisconsin! I really enjoyed your video. Very relaxing. Loved watching you build your shelter and fire. Very cozy. Sometimes you just gotta do things like this... makes everything else relative to this experience...I once did a canoe and portage in Algonquin Park, Canada with a group for a week. Lots to prepare, to consider, and especially for safety. When I returned I actually experienced a kind of extreme culture shock coming back to Toronto. Had to decompress for a while.
God bless you and keep making your videos.
I was in the army for a year as its mandatory in Finland but I would have gone anyway. I remember when we had a 10 day drill in the forest and we had to do various watches while others were sleeping. It was -25c or less and I had to watch the tent from outside from 00 to 02 and then patrol the dark forest from 02 to 04am. Me and my buddies were spooning in the end as it was too cold for the crappy gear we had. Cold nights are really tough. I have utmost respect for my ancestors who would live this way and had no other choice
No fire in a stove?
@@mikejiang9299 Stove is not an open flame.
@@mikejiang9299 Wood burning stove. I was just wondering if it was purposeful or did they forget to bring firewood. 🤣
В Финляндии тепло, там Гольфстрим греет.
@@MeatisfoodThe stove, is inside the tent if there is one, hence you wont either see it or really feel it
Anyone else find this video and it's sounds very relaxing? Almost comforting with the crackle of the fire.
Awesome video, you did it by the book. The fire helps keep the critters away as well. God bless you as well, happy new year.
Love this. Thank you for the simple video!
Perfect editing… content was exactly what I look for in a bushcraft video. What I liked best was what a lot of people could learn from on how to edit for content…. No 1st 2 1/2 minutes of the video with nothing but blabing about self promotion showing their ignorance. Loved that. SEEING your technique instead of bragging about them will bring in a lot of viewers. Thank you for your ideal video technique and content. 👍
Think everyone should experience something like this. Makes you appreciate things more.
No thanks I use my imagination to imagine what just like going through this hell and from my imagination I will appreciate my reality which is not as painful as this video
Went on "high adventure" in the boy scouts. We took our tents out in the snow, and it was real cold.
Now that I have more weight, maybe try it again sometime.
Taking things for granted is living.
@@thomasnorman4221 Your imagination is failing you if you think city life is better than bush life. It's more comfortable thats for sure, but it's also more mind, body, and soul-wrenching
@@jek__ you're confusing short term escapes like this for actual bush life. Such a life generally isn't great for the body, especially in the long term. and while I agree that many people today suffer mentally I don't think that necessarily results from living in cities as a given, or one exclusive to such places.
It's hard to stay in that very cold weather, it's good he had a strong determination to face the challenge
Great Video! It is amazing the amount of useful things mother nature provides to us
Man, you have to prove nothing to anybody. You are an excellent outdoorsman. Take care! Stay safe for you and your family!😊
Great video. It really brought me back to when I served in the norwegian army near the russian border. It didn't take long to get used to the minus 30s and even 40s (it's amazing how able a young body can be), and once the mind understood it wasn't about being super comfy but survival, what was deemed "a good night" or just "acceptable" changed completely.
I especially miss how dry it was. On average the coldest it will be in my town is maybe -3 celcius, but I can guarantee there will be windy and raining buckets coming in at all angles. Just pure cold is so much more pleasant of a challenge.
Grensejeger på GSV 🙌🫡
Yeah, Finnish army active soldier here, our SERE exercise was in -3 to 0°C in early spring/late winter and it made surviving so much more difficult because of the wet. We had constantly wet clothes because of body heat and melted snow and sleeping was also pretty wet stuff
I was in Alberta on holiday when this video was shot.
Very cold but manageable.
I came back home to England where it is 3 degrees C and raining.
It’s absolutely freezing over here.
Give me Canada any day!
@@granola661 no you didn’t
@@j33dup ok I didnt 😔
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS🙏❤👍
Loved that everything is so crunchy in the winter there
Great video. Due to my poor health, I can no longer do these things but thanks to people like me, who enjoy camping in hard conditions, I can still watch videos and enjoy them.
i hope for the best to you Chuck
I don’t know you but I wish the best for you my man!
This is the sort of thing most of us like to watch. Proper bushcraft survival. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures. ✌️from Australia.
lol
Amazing video, you really captured the cheer of your fire! And you proved the old adage of "comfort on the trail, or at camp." !!!
Wow you’re one tough knowledgeable man my hats off to ya buddy if I was ever put into a situation like that I’d follow your example thanks !! Eric .
This guy is a legend, good ol fashioned honest commentary is also appreciated👍
Good video. It is informative and very helpful for anyone who has plans traveling in remote places in a survival scenario. I think you had a great shelter. You couldve taken a few rocks, let that fire heat them up, then roll them into a trench digout along your backwall. They heat up a small space and last all night. You can even prepare a second set for a longer period of time, toss cool ones back in. Just thought I'd share this with you and perhaps you will utilize this little trick in a future video. Take care and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones, from Northern Wisconsin!!!
I totally forgot the rock trick. Thanks for the reminder!
Greetings neighbor, from Elmwood, WI ...LOL... Will keep that trick in mind thanks!
For sure good advice. It's also good to make a nice fireplace hearth using flat rocks to redirect the heat into your shelter.
No fancy stuff and survived night comfartably in -30 deg. Well done
Hot rocks work, but the trouble is when it's that cold, and snow is that deep, rocks can be hard to find. If you do find one of a suitable size, it's likely going to be frozen into the ground and unmovable.
Admire your courage and confidence.
Very impressive! Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it!
As a Minnesotan I can confirm that this is what we go through every day.
I would move to s'more warmer climate.😮
Idk man, Wisconsin is pretty bad too for the winter.
Minnesota is worse. I’m from Chicago and I lived in Minnesota for 2 years for school and I gotta say life ain’t worth livin in the cold.
Kinda looks like colorado this year 🤔
bro is in western canada, shit is levels above Minnesota
This was pretty awesome. It was quite cold in Alberta, in February. The dried meat and the hardtack looked pretty good. Cheers and God Bless! ✌️🇨🇦
Thanks for watching! God bless you too!
Incredible and inspiring. The right survival attitude! Thanks.
Thank U. I've enjoyed/ educated myself somewhat 2 survive❣️ YOUR BADASS GREAT❣️ GOD BLESS ❣️ U R PROBABLY SAVING LIVES ❣️ LATER !!
