The Five H's Of Wilderness Survival
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 08. 2020
- Any Survivalist knows the 5 C's of Survival. I haven't seen anyone talk about the 5 H's of Survival. The C's are directed towards gear and equipment. The H's are more directed towards your body, how it function and reacts when put into a wilderness survival situation. For further study the Five H's are Hypothermia, Hyperthermia, Hydration, Hyponatremia, Hypothalamus and for a sixth if it applies Hypoglycemia. #Survival #Wilderness #Outdoors
Dave, you've presented a very good primer on these subjects. You've touched on a subject that I have taught at the university level, several years back when I had more hair - Human Anatomy and Physiology. If I may, I'd like to clarify a couple of things: when speaking about water, the serous portion of the blood is primarily this. It is referred to as the "volume", whereas the RBCs, WBCs, albumen, the globulins, etc are referred to as the "packed" cells. This measure is called the "hematocrit" in lab tests. Now, as the volume increases in the blood, the trace elements, or electrolytes, become more dilute; when the volume decreases, they become more concentrated. This is especially problematic with the ratio of sodium to potassium. At the individual cell level, there is an active pump dealing with these ions for the maintenance of the cell's fluid, called the cytosol, and for the production of ATP, which utilizes glucose to power the cell's activities. Now, for every two potassium ions that are imported into the cell, 3 sodium ions are ejected. In physiology, we have a saying - wherever sodium goes, so goes water! If there is a hyper-concentration of sodium (hypernatremia) surrounding the tissues, water will leave the cells and cellular activity will cease. This is referred to as interstitial or extracellular edema. If the concentration of sodium remains high within the cells, water will rush in and cause them to explode. Both of these states lead to all sorts of problems, which you have noted. As far as the "thermias" go, with hyperthermia, any temperature above 104° F will denature proteins - they will cook! This is especially true of albumen, which is the greatest extracellular transport protein that we have (Think of the white part of an egg on a frying pan - that's albumen being denatured.) It is extremely difficult to recover from this state. All of the "H's" that you are talking about, including the hypoglycemia noted by Lari Venho, deal specifically with "homeostasis", the balance of the body's internal environment for optimal performance and energy economy. In temperatures which will produce hypothermia, the heat will go from the periphery to the center of the body to keep the internal organs from shutting down, but, it'll produce the signs and symptoms that you have rightly mentioned. Sorry for this long comment, but the primary reaction to these conditions is: what to do and where do I find what I need in nature? Perhaps we can speak to this a bit later - this is way too long, as it is! Great subjects!
Fantastic input Dr. Tom! I'm pinning your comment to the top for others to read. Yrs, this is a primer to get everyone to studying. No way one video could cover it all.
Thank you Dr. Tom for the additional information.
Thank you sir. I was going to say this almost word for word--ya beat me to it:-)
What is your suggested formula for hydration and shelter to stay alive in a survival situation? Both at 120°F and 0°F?
@Chris Kavanaugh Not a question for Dave. That question was a reply in Dr. Tom's post.
Love the info, but, I can’t stop thinking that the first “H” of survival is, “Heeeyyy everybody!”
Lol! I like that one Bob!
This video is the best public service announcement I've seen in years and I plan to send it to fellow members of New Mexico , Colorado , Utah search and rescue clans . Rescue is one thing and recovery is quite another . Thanks Dave and Be Blessed .
Sounds fantastic to me! Thanks for watching
Also Hypoglucemia. As a diabetic, this is on my mind constantly. But it will have an effect on everyone if you go without food for a long period of time.
Thats number six!
Being diabetic, this is extremely important. It's amazing how little exercise it takes to reduce your blood sugars to dangerously low levels. I never go anywhere outdoors without salty, sugary, or carbohydrates and water.
@@kevinruyle2541 Do you test your blood in the woods as well?
Eat Carbs Outdoors I use the Freestyle Libre. A life changer for me!
@@EatCarbs yes always
This is a first for me Dave. No one I watch has covered these before that I have seen. Thank you!!
Fantastic to hear that Dianna!
Gotta love the gear room!
Thank you Tenda!
E.C. how about just druel over it ?
PS: Drool !
eltenda's channel: And as some people like to call it.... His Basement... LOL!
I wish I had half the stuff he has.
Dave, you’re the best, it’s like having a conversation with a good friend and learning a ton all the while! Thanks for all your time and input. No doubt this will probably save someone’s life along the way.
Thanks David, I'm glad you liked it and I always hope my info helps others. Thanks for watching
Thank you David. This is vital information you've shared with us. These subjects are extremely important to understand. Thank you. You're, "The Man". 👍💯
I'm glad you liked it Jim!
I can’t understand how anybody could justify a thumbs down to this video. If you don’t want to know this stuff just leave. - they must be a numpty.
Very well said Alan!
Amen , Kinda like America ... You are free to leave .
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I think it's happening some time on phone because the distance between the two thumbs is narrower than on a computer screen... this should be one good explanation, because I did that mistake some time without noticing while unrolling my phone screen. So don't worry, far as there no negative real comments ... you're a genial teacher to me.
Next question will be: could we survive without 5G ? 🙈
@@apeacefulwolfretirement1984 I was thinking that same thing when I was watching it yesterday.🤓lol All the whiners can just find a new channel or, make their own.🤪
As an old Navy Corpsman, I want to compliment you brother on handling all that - which is not easy to understand - and even harder to explain to others... Thank you so much for stepping up to cover all this... You are right, more people need to talk about these things... // And yes, I saw your two handled toy there on the bench... ahahahahaha Hope all is well with you brother ! Always fun visiting the gear room ! Peace !
Thanks Brother! I'm glad you liked it and how I explained things. Yep, I loved that two handled toy! Hopefully in the future I'll put it in a video. Thanks for watching brother
Army Medic here. Good post.
Great show, great information right there. Thank you Dave for sharing this with us.
I hope you and your family have a blessed weekend.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it and I hope you had a good weekend too
Thank you, David Pearson. Bravo. Good job.
Thanks Stephen!
I was in the Army in the 80's, spent all 4 years in the desert southwest of Texas with side trips to California. Civilians: Death Valley? Let's not go there! Army/Marines: Death Valley? Awesome place for a training base! The desert can be scorching hot in the day and freeze to death cold at night. I always carried two canteens even though we were only issued one. I've drank water so dirty you could barely see through it but it was wet, had to have it. I learned in Cub Scouts/Boy Scouts to Be Prepared so when I went with my son and his friend for a day hike in 100 degree weather even though I had a 3 liter Camelbak I had my water filter as well to refill. Drinking just-boiled water at 100 Degrees is not fun! Been there! And pills take 4 hours to work. As always, a stellar presentation with exceptional information.
Thanks for the comments! I love hearing from real life experiences! I've never been to a desert.
Of all of your videos, this is the most thought provoking I have come across from you or anyone else in several years! Dave, love the starter on this!
Even in military survival training we didn’t get past the first 4 Hs. I really have some review and research to do now! Even with all we learn in spending time outdoors and with classes and practical experience, if you wind up in a true situation, you want to be rescued NOT recovered, great thoughts here. Now I have my homework to do.
Thanks Dave, we may not be literal neighbors or friends, but I consider you that one friend, who, if he brings it up, it’s certainly worth the discussion when you present ideas like this that better us all in our outdoor adventures!
Have a great week and can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks Julian, I'm glad you liked it that much! This stuff has to be thought about, discussed and studied so others will be safe. I LOVE that saying of being rescued and not recovered! Thanks for watching
Thank you for keeping it real and talking in plain English that everybody can understand
You are very welcome Jimmy and I'm glad you liked it
I am a retired electrician. We did all kinds of electrical construction. We occasionally worked for a refrigerated warehouse company. We had a project powering big fans that brought down the temperature of brown & serve rolls that were being flash-frozen. We worked at 10 degrees below zero in 45-minute shifts. We would then move to the 40-degree loading dock. We got paid for sitting & prepping before returning to the freezer. We wore their gloves & suites. We were told to never go outside to get things from our truck. It was summertime. I broke the rule several times. The experience of retrieving a needed tool at 90 degrees then working at 10 degrees below zero should have killed me but I was young. We used their forklifts with a man cage to get to the ceiling. One day I dropped a Kline screwdriver. We found the rubber grip & the metal shaft. The yellow plastic handle shattered into tiny pieces. Years later we were working generator duty in a blizzard in Boston. We set up & operated temporary generators behind Walmarts. All of us were from Alabama, the guys were saying it was the coldest they had ever been. I told my crew about working in a ten below freezer for days on end. I don't know how I will die but I hope I don't freeze to death. I hope I go in my sleep quietly. Thanks for the five H's of survival. You found a good subject to talk about on a hot day in Georgia.
Fantastic comments! Very interesting how it felt to go from extreme cold to high heat. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching brother
This all falls under the "C" ,,, Care , healthcare and prevention , and is the most important subject as it is the base for all survival situations to ensure a positive out come . Understanding your 5 "H's" and how to prevent injury from the 5 H's is of a high priority for everyone especially if one has a preexisting medical condition such as diabetes . As mentioned even if you are in tip top shape any of these 5 H's can jump up and bite you in the buttox. These 5 H's also fall under daily healthcare , Good video .
Very well said! And thanks for watching
Seeing & understanding these things just made me pull my GHB out of the car, pulled out the survival kit for some mods/additional items! Great vid!
Sounds great Dave and I'm glad you liked it.
That's what it's all about. I've been training for years, then Dave tells me a new way to do it and it just makes me better prepared.👍
Thanks Dave for a good primer for the basics of survival. Your explanations of the five H's was excellent. I especially liked the urging of people to research more in depth. The more ways one sees, hears, or engages with information the better it sticks and can be recalled in a tough situation. Thank you Dave.
You are very welcome Roger and I'm glad you liked it. Individual research is paramount to safety. Especially if its geared towards the climate where a person lives. Thanks for watching
This information is very important to know even if you don't participate in any outdoor camping, hiking, etc activities. Thank you so much for this video! The thumbs down number shows us how many are jealous, immature and don't really care about anyone else but themselves. Your relatability, genuine caring and valuable content is unmatched.
Thank you Beverly and well stated! Not only Survivalists but athletes, outdoors sporting types or those who work outdoors in extreme weather need to know this stuff. Take care and thanks for watching
Thanks Dave, I learnt a lot... you've possibly saved lives with the info in this Video.
We're not used to extremes of weather here in the UK. Having said that we have a heat wave at the moment. 35 degrees Celsius today! Phew! I'll be taking plenty of water out with me today 😀
I'm really looking forward to the survival kit in "the next one" I hope you and Nick are keeping well. All the best.
You are very welcome Mick and I'm glad you liked it. I do hope this video can help save lives. It gets hot here but this summer it's been the hottest yet!
Brother, you can get dehydrated on a single hot day... serious leg cramps etc. BUT it'll takes DAYS of rehydrating to get back to where you started! In a survival situation, no one can afford multiple days of being out of commission!
Dehydration is not simply "thirsty"!
Great vid Dave!
Exactly! You just don't chug a Gatorade and recover. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I was in the hospital for severe dehydration. I’m never going without water again so long as I can help it. That was a HORRIBLE feeling. Stay hydrated everyone!!
Hi Dave, great video. Never heard of the 5H's before. Thanks for sharing. Lot to think about. Look forward to seeing your survival kits video. Take care.👍
Thanks Jeff, I'm glad you liked it. Not many have even touched on this stuff. Thanks for watching
I am so glad you talked about this! People can get so into the gear part of bushcraft that they miss the forest for the trees. But not Dave! Because of you I now know how to read a compass, you taught me some sewing skills -- and so many other things that no one else really touches on. Honestly, you've taught me so much! I would have NEVER considered the hypothalamus. And I (almost) completely agree with you on how to make a proper cup of coffee. I can't wait for the next video and to learn how it pertains to this one. I hope you know that you really do make a difference. You may have saved my future behind (and possibly slimmed it down a little if can reset my hypothalamus). :-D Thanks again, Dave!
Fantastic to hear that Cleo! That makes the videos all worthwhile! Thanks for watching
This is brilliant, gives a lot of food for thought. I quite often see people who don't manage their body functions properly. Thanks Dave, take care mate 👍 ☺️
Thanks Brother Mike, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I never heard of the 5 H's good info thanks.
It hasn't been discussed much. Thanks for watching
Really glad you covered these. For those who aren't familiar with or don't have a lot of experience in the wilderness, these tips could literally save a life.
My biggest tip for anyone thinking about heading out: Always take at least the 5 C's.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Yep, this is very important to the newcoming hikers. Thanks for watching
Great coverage on this subject. Thanks Dave
I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching
This is a great video Dave. I am currently on kind of a campaign to help people be safer and smarter. We recently had a storm, came from nowhere. Temperatures went from 95 to 45. and that was at 2,500 feet I can't imagine what it did up at 7000!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. We all need to be more concerned with outdoor safety. Keep doing what your doing brother!
I only sweat like a pig when I roll in the mud. :) What is interesting is that the old timers knew about dehydration and electrolytes. Switchel was known as the hay makers punch. They also had watermelon breaks during harvest and threshing. If I remember correctly some of the old WW2 survival films for air crews talked about the part coconut juice played in keeping you going. I have seen and experienced hypo and hyperthermia to a degree. People die every so often on Lake Superior in the summer when their canoe or kayak tips them in the lake. It could 110 above the water and the water could be 40. People think they are not far from shore and they can make it there. It is the same in the desert. They are not going to far so they don't need water. Some of those canyons in the Superstition mountains can be 130 to 140 when out in the open it might be 114.
Very good comments!
I capsized a sailboat in an un-naturally warm Georgian Bay three weeks ago. Got it righted. Eventually. It was the cold that frightened me.
You are by far my favorite camping genius and I am convinced you have saved someone's life with this!
Thank you Mary! I'd love to know the info I put out could save a life
I finally got to watch this video.
Greatly needed video, darlin'. Thank you.
By the way, your CC is perfectly accurate which is important. I compartmentalize. By this, I mean I do several things coinciding at once. I am able to watch a video; listen to it; read the CC; break down, separate and absorb details (both visual and audio); and think about these things simultaneously.
Your CC being perfect means it always accurately translates and correctly spells everything you say. I've seen expensive productions that don't do that.
You are very smart and thoughtful. I've always enjoyed your videos, dear friend. Kudos to you, Dave.
Funny the CC was perfect, usually my southern dialect screws it all up! Lol. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Linda
@@Reallybigmonkey1
Hi.
Although it's true that you have a strong Appalachian accent, your word enunciation is always pure. Whereas, in my accent, some syllables are left out or modified.
Your CC is great and matches your vocabulary perfectly.
I did enjoy it. Thanks. I love having CC as an enhancement to a video.
I was convinced I had mild heat exhaustion after hiking several hours in brutal heat recentlty, but now I'm convinced I was losing electrolytes. Good thing to keep in mind! Thanks, Dave!
Try the appachlian trail hiking
You probably was! If you sat in a chair in the air conditioning and didn't drink water you'd actually be in better shape than sweating outdoors losing electrolytes
As a postman in the UK I suffer from all of them at one time or another during the year 😬 absolutely on topic 👍
Oh I bet, you're always in the elements! Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Yep even 92 mph gust, blowing slates off the roofs, sweltering heat, sleet, rain and snow, you goto love the outdoors 😄 which I do!
as a nurse, i am stoked that you did this. so many people just worry about gear and don't think about their body.
Thank you!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! Very informative and relative to our survival! I'm type 2 diabetic and a cancer survivor, in which the large part of my left parotid gland was removed with the tumor! I STAY THIRSTY!!! I have been in various survival situations when I was younger and homeless! I and very happy you covered this subject, so that others will be educated! I carry a small EDC bag with me everywhere these days! I refuse to do without again in my life! Thanks for posting and I'll be watching for your next video😎👍
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. With what all you've been through, you are a true survivor! Thanks for watching
Home run! Thank you. Looking forward to the "P's" suggested below.
Thanks Joseph, I'm glad you liked it
The most important thing in survival situation is Acceptance! Mentally take it in the situation as quickly as possible will increase your life expectancy by a huge margin. Your survival kit have to contain your immediate needs. Have to be small and light so you "will" have it with you at all time! Obtain knowledge and adapt experiences from others, practice as often as possible is more useful than any kit that you carry.
The best water container is your body,
The best survival kit is your brain.
Very well said
Thank you, David. As always, it was a pleasure watching and learning! Stay safe!
Thanks Patrick, I'm glad you liked it Brother!
for a "non medical person" you do a very good job of explaining . i have been a nurse for 30 years and a flight medic before that this would have been a good class to have then. good job .thanks for the refresher.
Fantastic to hear that Glenn! I'm glad you liked it
Dave! Been a while since I left a comment, but I haven’t missed an episode. Love it!
Always good to hear from you Alex!
good lessons , I never thought about over hydration and washing away your electrolytes , good info
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It happens, and it gets ugly!
As a carpenter I have witnessed it. If you're sweating severely water alone will not do it. Coconut water is a great resource for electrolyte.
Electrolyte tabs , multivitamins with minerals , powdered Gatorade + sea salt and LOTS of water are always with me in the desert - NM
Love this content & your way of planting ideas into the future!
The biggest obstacle with any one of the six "H"'s is, that impaired judgement will make a bad situation worst.
Knowing about the hows and why's of the human body is most helpful in any survival situation. In seeing the wilderness as a place of fun and adventure, the word survival often goes forgotten. Sometimes just bringing a warm hat can make the difference between moving on or freezing into a solid.
I like the way you were able to keep this topic clear and concessive.
Thank you, Dave. Can't wait for the next one!
Enjoy your week, until then. . .
Thanks and I'm glad you liked it! The more you know about your body, the better off you'll be able to react to a bad situation. Thanks for watching
Very good and educational video Dave! Thank you. And so true; the more you know about your body the more efective you can survive. 👍😁
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Nice video Dave! Too many people are interested in the “kit” portion of survivability. This video was refreshing in that it gives a perspective that like you said, no one talks about. It is very good to review these critical aspects of survivability and thank you for putting them together as the 5 H’s. Easy to remember.
Look forward to the kit part coming up. My biggest problem is cold weather survival kits in that they have to be relatively heavy to carry enough to prevent hypothermia. Hope you can provide some lighter weight options or ideas!
See you in the next one Dave!
Thanks David, I'm glad you liked it. Well said, and the more you know about your body the better off you can survive a bad situation. I have a few compact ideas for cold weather. But for extreme cold? It will be bulky. Thanks for watching
Reallybigmonkey1 Look forward to whatever you can suggest
Dave what about Hysteria? Anxiety, you have to prepare your mind.
Good one
nice
That could easily be added to the list
@@EatCarbs Man I haven't watched one of your videos in awhile. I thought I subbed but looks like I didn't. I'll take care of that now.

Cool collection of axes or hatchets. Very nice display.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Hi David! As a nurse, we rehydrate people constantly with IV fluids containing 0.9% Sodium Chloride solution. In my pack, I include a pack of Tri-Oral that I can add to water to help correct dehydration. The World Health organization uses oral solutions to rehydrate people all over the world. Slow and steady sips of it can also help keep people hydrated if they are having severe diarrhea. My other quick water replacement correction is water, apple juice, and saltines or pretzels. I lived in Needles, CA for a while (hot, hot, hot!) and relied on this for restoring early signs of dehydration.Helps resolve early symptoms quickly
Thank you for the information Karen!
Thank you Dave!
I live in AZ and ALWAYS keep water in my vehicle. I now need to remember to keep some on me too.
Sounds great! Thanks for watching

This is a very interesting and important topic 👍
Absolutely, and I think it really needs to be talked about more in the world of outdoors survival. Thanks for watching
I lived this experience for a couple of months. I was out about 90 days total about 30 of those were survival. I was in the Okefenokee swamp for a good bit of this I learned some great lessons during those days. Most important was just because you have lived 15 years in the swamp you don't know everything. Thanks to God, what my Dad and uncles taught me, plus a little luck I survived. These things you spoke of will happen if you aren't prepared.
Thanks for the comments my friend, it's always good to hear from experience
hi dave....great vid again....learning about what the human body is important...your most important tool in your survival kit is your brain....in the desert...we keep water in our vehicles...cuz you NEVER know when you could break down....be prepared...thanks for your videos...i love em.

🌹Hi Dave, 😄Thanks to your channel my backpack has a lot more useful stuff in it, including coconut water in Summer; and you’re absolutely correct on being prepared- when I’m out in the “civilized world” (scarier lately than the forest) I’m not carrying what I bring hiking, usually just Water and a snack. There’s a blanket and a can with matches and a candle for Winter travel in my car, will just take a bit of time to add a few things for the other “H’s” on the list.
Knowing what local plants have good balance of calcium, magnesium, sodium EtC can also help in Summer in an emergency. Nettles, Dandelions and Chickweed are good and grow almost every place. Eat them weeds😆 Look forward to your next post, see ya then 🌹
Great to hear that Laura and I'm glad you liked it. Sounds like you are very well prepared!

Thanks Jay! I'm glad you liked it brother
Thank you. I have experienced dehydration simply because I didn't know the signs. Thankfully God put people in my path to help me. You will help a lot of people with this video.
Thanks Danny, I'm glad you liked it and found helpful!
Lovely video my friend 👍🤗❤🔔 LIKE
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it
I recently retired and have gotten involved in my personal finances and investments but then started watching bushcrafting, then backpacking then RVing then Van life. It has been a journey. So, I may settle on a mixture of a tricked out Van and also some combination of bushcrafting and backpacking. RVs seem like too much to take care of so I may as well stay home or in a motel or cabin than buy a big RV. This channel has been one of my favorites.
Lots of options to get into after retirement. My dad has multiple new hobbies since he retired. I'm glad you like the channel my friend!
Reallybigmonkey1 I do sir! Thank you!
Well Dave you have made me aware of some things. I'm a hiker, often times I find myself getting thirsty. I realize I'm needing to drink more. Same with eating. Very interesting topic. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic to hear this helped out Bob!
Even up here in NE Ohio the last 2 moths have been horribly hot! Many days around 95F and a few just under 100F. Great info! So few people focus on Hypothermia! Thanks for sharing Dave!
And I hate heat and humidity both! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

So many people think they are practicing survival. I like what you shared. Inconvenience is not survival many times it is poor planning or ignorance. Health issues is what kills. I am 68 years old and I no longer camp in the big thicket in Texas alone. It is not because lack of knowledge but because a lack of endurance and strength.
Well said Jim! Thanks for watching
Hyponatremia is a serious thing. My wife had a period of drinking too much water and lost too many of her electrolytes. She lost coordination and cognitive functioning. It took several days of hospitalization and IV solutions to bring her back to normal. Hypothalmia? Who knew? THANKS for bringing up this class of survival information.
I'm sorry to hear she went through that but it's good to hear from someone that's experienced it and knows how bad it is. Thanks for watching James
Dave , this was a great informational video, thanks for sharing, something not often talked about , stay safe, God bless !
Thanks Michael, I'm glad you liked it and may God bless you too
Awesome video Dave. Like most of us who enjoy the outdoors I have a general awareness of hypo/hyper thermia. You take it to a new level though especially with the other three H's which, honestly, I never really thought too much about. That is about to change. Thank you so much and keep on with the great videos.
Thanks Russ! I'm glad you liked it. Every outdoors person needs to know this stuff. Thanks for watching Brother
Dave, I don't have anything special to add. You & Dr Gio have it covered in my book. What I'd like to say is about a few of my late relatives. They were farmers and ranchers from the old days. All my memories, and all the pictures I have seen, show them wearing long sleeve shirts and wide brimmed hats. My grandpa was a Kansas farmer that always wore overalls, long sleeve chambray shirts and, straw hats. My Uncle Wes was known as the last farmer/rancher in NE Kansas to use a team of horses for all of his farm work, and rode horses for the cattle work. He dressed like grandpa, except for western clothes and hats for parades and showing horses. My step Uncle, Les, was a real life cowboy foreman down in Texas when I was a kid. Again, long sleeves and cowboy hats in the heat of the Texas sun. I didn't understand it as a kid. I thought wearing shorts, a shirt with the sleeves cut off, and some kind of cap was the thing to wear to stay cooler. Thanks for re-enforcing that my relatives were smarter than me. And hi Nick! Listen to your Dad.
Thanks Steve! I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the comments. Yep, them old timers absolutely knew how to protect themselves. Baking in the sun ain't healthy at all
Hi Dave. Thanks once again for sharing you knowledge in a well presented video. Always good to hear from you. Stay safe in these troubled times. ATB as ever. Nigel
Hello Nigel! I'm glad you liked it brother and I hope you're well
Thanks for the layman's explanation of the hypothalamus! I learned about it in college, but I was a kid at the time and really didn't care!
I'm glad you liked it Linda! None of this mattered when we were young. Lol
Thank you again for the ever important info! Good to see you, Dave!
You are very welcome RP and I'm glad you liked it
What a great mental video. I learned two new terms today and for that I'm extremely grateful. This is the first video I've seen on youtube to cover these subjects. The coconut tree is referred to as the tree of life in the Philippines. Time to do some further research. Thanks again. God bless and stay safe.
Thanks Rich, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching, keep studying and may God bless you too
great information and so very important to remember
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Robert
Hi Dave, I can totally relate to hyperthermia since I have burns on 40% of my body from an auto accident, which means 40% of me can't sweat normally (some areas not at all), so I overheat quickly and it's a problem I'm forced to deal with, but it is what it is. So many great subjects in this video bud, two thumbs up to the 5 H's, Rock On my friend!!!
And hey bud, I have to complain my friend, seems like 5 out of 10 episodes that I watch of yours, I end up buying something to add to everything I already have, I keep seeing more fine tuning to be done although I have a solid setup already, wth bud, I can't keep up lol, seriously, you're a hoarder and you're turning me into one too, rofl!!! All jokes aside, I would like to show you some of my "out of the box" creations, you know the "more than one use" philosophy, so lets hope things work out and I get another camera. Rock On dude!
Ah man, I never thought about that! It just hit me that scar tissue from burns eliminates sweating. Thanks for sharing that and thanks for watching brother
Lol! Sorry for harming your wallet. I definitely hope you start filming
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I guess I could do one using the phone, but no idea how good that will be, my iPhone is old, so the quality isn't very good is my guess. Time will tell, Rock On!
Look here i aint gonna lie ive been day drinking..i know you read your comments you dont have to respond but youtube is doing dumb stuff im getting real mad about it ive noticed lately that some videos that i watch are being blocked to me and i know good and damn well my sons and i have watched them..i dont understand or like electronics personally but i love and appreciate the father son videos..your my number 1 but corporal kelly is my number 2 he mentioned his father son videos are scored low i dont get any of this but all i know as a single southern mom that has 6 sons we love them..i lost my husband so for you guys to make these videos and bring us together on sundays when we watch em make us smile laugh and keeps me dreaming of getting home..this world is nuts and i wanna thank you and your family for your time..you are an inspiration stay you stay safe God bless you and your from all of us..
CZcams definitely has some screwed up features. I've been told the notification bell can't be clicked on my channel and sometimes comments don't post. I'm glad you like our videos. We ain't as worried about views as much as we are making videos that people happy. Take care and may God bless you too
Im southern gal i have 1 natural born son right there in Ga but i chose to adopt my bff kids when she passed i aquired some as well but by GOD I believe a young man needs a good male role model no matter what..these mothers that dont think they dont are wrong..my sons are grown now i did the best i could but ill be damned if this "cancel culture" movement can stop traditionalism..these young men need to learn to be humble but yet be ambitious look for someone equally yolked.work for what they want be proud..only a REAL man can teach them these things..
You're right, no one talks about this anymore, yet it is what is most likely to happen in a short amount of time.
Yep, and every survivalist should be teaching this stuff. Thanks for watching
This is one of your best videos! So much information! Thanks a lot!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it that much!
Another great video Dave. Thank you for the great content.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
