This shelter can be constructed with a minimum of tools and can be finished relatively quickly which makes it a true survival shelter.

Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc - Jak na to + styl
Really appreciate that your wife helps you out with these videos! Please tell her we said "Thank you"! Keep up the good work you two...
I think Connie is key to Lonnie surviving😂! Watch the videos with Connie cooking meals! You’ll never go hungry with her around. Now if only Lonnie would tell us where we all can get a Connie!!!!
I keep a Tuffy type shovel in my car every winter, you never know. I also keep a heavy wool horse blanket and some bottled water and a few pairs of gloves and hats in my car and often extra footwear with socks stuffed in them. I'm not even in the country, I am in the suburbs of New York and I also have a few jump starting batteries that'll also charge the phone. Yes, my car seems messy with all that stuff, but it's like muscle memory to me. If you always have it, your never without it. Of course I also have a knife, multi tool and a folding saw under my seat too
The shelter is great. Thanks for sharing. But, more than the quick camp, the lesson that I got from you this morning is to think through the situation, find your best options, and not panic.
Thank you both for your advice and inspiration.
Good video. I give it a BIG thumbs-up. If anyone thinks about going for a ride on a machine into the back country, always prepare for that same machine to quit on you and prepare accordingly. If you don't have the assurance that you can get yourself out on foot, don't go and please don't ever think about taking your kids in the back country unless you have at least 2 sleds and the knowledge (and gear) to survive if both of them broke down.
I agree. My wife and I just returned from a two week snow machine trip to our remote Alaskan cabin. I made sure that I had my survival pack on my person along with two snow machines and plenty of fuel.
Nice shelter Lonnie. That scenario is probably the number one cause of a short term survival situation here - that and casual hunters getting lost. As you say, the trick is to stay calm and think
So god to see a new video from you, Lonnie! Gonna sit back and enjoy.
Always been a believer in "STOP" - Stop, Think, Observe, Plan! Getting in a fizz never saved my old hide! Another great video Lonnie!
I have learned something from your video and that is having a snow shovel with me if in a very cold area and I should have known this since I lived in Michigan for awhile. I keep what I need here in Arkansas to get by, but went to Michigan in 2014 without some of what I would need to survive if my vehicle broke down. I said that I would not do that again.
I always bring along a few big heavy duty trash bags. Take up no space or weight and can save your bacon out on the trail as a tarp, poncho, wind break and numerous other things.
I would add that black garbage bags would be better in that it would absorb heat from the sun to keep warm. As opposed to clear or white bags.
Also for carrying leaves for roof making if making a shelter in the woods
tikiduck I always carry a free mattress shipping bag. Incredibly useful and big. Makes a supershelter, groundcloth, or sleeping bag.
Lonnie: I am 66 years young, live in Florida and I hunt and spend a lot of time in the woods. I would like to thant this opportunity to thank you. You go out of our way to provide fantastic instruction on many topics of vital importance to know in your climate and many of them are applicable even in my area. Your patient, calm, direct and easy to understand instruction is very well presented. If I ever decided to move to similar climate as yours, I would review may of your videos that I have saved. Thank you for taking the time to teach. A wise man once said the best lessons in life lie at the feet of a more experienced man!! Thanks again for all you do.
Taking a nap and relaxing until dark will get one in a better frame of mind.
Lonnie, This was spot on. Great job explaining everything.
Panic is the killer in a survival situation and you nailed this at the beginīng of your video. Great job.
i think we want the rest of your story :D
Edlyn Ugaide why would you bring that into this story. You lefties are such a tolerant species aren't you? By the way he won't be charged for a crime he didn't commit
Edlyn don't know what sex you are but bet your from California right?home of the CAN'T say what you really feel state
Edlyn never took a dime from anyone without earning it ok. I can cover the cost to move anywhere I want. Happy where I'm at ,at the moment. Canada always was a place I thought of when I was young. But wouldn't think about moving their now days. You see I'm not chanting any of the garbage coming out of your mouth and you and idiots like you that invaded and ruined Canada is the reason Canada doesn't appeal to me anymore. You can have it. Hopefully America will come back to its former glory. Trump 2020. We are down here laughing at your votes for black face impersonator. Hope you get all the free stuff you are looking for in your party
Quite true. Keeping calm is the key to survival.
we use to build snow shelters like that when we were kids all the time when we were playing in the woods in the winter and got cold. They are very warm! Great video! ~Dawn
So right Lonnie, out of the wind first and a fire, also to use the environment for the shelter protects you with less effort, thanks for sharing my friend!!! Take care, Taro
You're an American legend, Lonnie. Love your content.
I really like this idea of doing survival situations based on real scenarios, great video Lonnie!
Mark Aguglia Check out Survivorman if you haven't before. You'll love it... Or you already do.
HossKirkland I do love Survivorman! Les Stroud is the man. Thanks for the suggestion though!
HossKirkland Made for TV Crap Stroud is just another Bear Grylls! !
Randall Flagg That's a huge lie. Les Stroud produced his Survivorman concept almost a decade before Grylls. He's ALONE during filming, carries and films himself, and offers prudent survival strategies. He often fails in his excursions which demonstrates reality and authenticity.
Unlike Grylls, he doesn't sleep in hotels, run wildly, consume excrement, or promote mechanical injury.
You're completely off base about Les Stroud.
HossKirkland or incompetence
I love these videos. I am handicapped at the moment and cannot get outdoors. I run the battery down everyday on my phone watching these! Please keep it up!!!
Excellent video and great job of explaining radiant heat and the importance of simply getting out of the wind. That IS shelter, immediate, life-saving shelter when it is cold. No roof needed! Being an ice-fisherman and 'outdoorsman' regardless of weather I appreciate very much the advantage of a simple wind-block and radiant heat of a fire...Thanks for sharing a very important video!
Looks like a great night sleep and toasty warm shelter to me. Thanks my friend. Great video.
I like how in the beginning you said OK I am in this situation. What do I need to do and you made a plan. Then you went created your shelter for the night. That is what I really like about your videos I always learn something that gives me one more tool in the toolbox of knowledge.
No matter what mood I am in, your videos are a breath of fresh air. I would watch a 24 hr live marathon on about anything you do! Thanks Lonnie for brightening my day up! You really should do daily videos, if at all possible. I for one would thoroughly enjoy them! Wear a Go Pro cam all day!
Always a pleasure to see your survival videos even though I live in the Sonoran Desert of Phoenix, Arizona. You'd think that living in a city of over 5 million people that survival methods would not be much of an issue. I'm 66 and I was born and raised here so I've heard so many sad stories of people who have unwittingly gotten themselves into a survival situation. Water and extreme heat are the dangers. We ALWAYS carry water in our vehicle. We freeze water bottles and keep them in an ice chest all year long especially in the summer. Experts say to stay with your vehicle if stuck, because rescuers always find your car first which is easy to spot from the air. People who migrate to this area don't really realize the dangers. But, you are right. We need to educate ourselves on how to survive if need be where ever we live.
Wow! Fantastic video. Great set up and execution.
Thanks for the video Lonnie.
Great to see how to make use of natural resources and features in a difficult situation.
Moz...
If there is one lesson I have learned from you Lonnie it's that we prepare for the unexpected before the unexpected happens
So, I would have a shovel on the snowcat thanks to your teaching... Thank you for sharing, A warm hello to Connie and yourself from us, Duncan & Rebecca
I have been watching CZcams on my big TV. Your videos look great so good work Connie and thanks. Here in England the need for these things is non existent with 65 million people on this tiny island you're never far from another human being. The curious thing is that I, and many others seem to somehow instinctively collect these lessons like there's something deep in our psyche telling us to. Thankyou both.
Another very interesting and informative video. Even though i don't live in cold country, i will remember this good advice for when it is needed, develop an appreciation for spruce trees,
and look forward to your next excellent video. Thanks Lonnie & Connie.
Hello Lonnie, i really enjoyed watching your video it was excellent.And learned quite a lot of new skills. Looking forward to seeing more interesting videos from you.Kind regards David. Greetings from England UK.
I must say you’re a good and natural actor. And your wife does a great job on camera. Looks like you had a good, if somewhat sleepless, night out there in the ditch.
My son and I always enjoy your videos. It's amazing how easy it is to get hypothermia if your not prepared. Keep the videos coming. We don't have broadcast television in our home, so you are a constant source of information and entertainment for us. Thank you
Another great example of yet another shelter design directly suited for the situation. TFS Professor!
Thank you Lonnie for taking the fear out of the factors.
Hey Lonnie: Thanks for a realistic & informative video. The reality is without survival there isn't a second chance. Staying calm is esential & thaty is something you always display. Thanks again Brian 76
I thought I seen that Fuel Gauge said Full and I seen Fuel in the tank too. I bet Lonnie was in his back yard again. He-he. I enjoyed your Scenario, its food for thought, as always.
Thanks Lonnie, another great suggestion! I will remember this one should I ever need it.
YOUR A GOOD MAN LONNY, TANKS FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE!
I just love the guitar playing. I feel it will imprint on my memory so that every time I see deep snow I will hear your music. Not a bad thing, I think.
Wow, Lonnie you are so inventive. Never would of thought of that seeing as I have never been in that position. Now I know what to do just in case. Take care you two. God bless
Lonnie, you scared me for a minute... Thought you lost both your legs! As my wife would say, "calm as a cucumber". No fuss, "Lets get started." Love it! Heat loss is also a result of evaporation (avoid sweating). Thanks for the video, 👍🏼
If nothing else ,learn to be rational and calm from this man . Of course he has MUCH more to teach but DO NOT PANIC and run around aimlessly.His channel is probably number one in real life survival situations.
Anothe great outing Lonnie & Connie, Pays to keep a cool head & know what to do. Having the knowledge to put in place as well. Scratch ole Buck ATB Terry God Bless
I liked your thought process while you think through the problem and set priorities. Very educational!
Good information on survival especially stopping to evaluate your situation and making a plan to survive the elements for the night and taking stock of your resources. Thanks for sharing.
I did Lonnie I Always Add Your Wisdom And Skill Sets When I Am In The Woods And One Day When I am Off The Grid In Alaska In All That I Do Was Because Of My Mentor You. Thank-You Again And I Hope Your Trek Back To Camp Was A Safe One Lonnie.
Another great informative video Lonnie! Many thanks to you and Connie!
Excellent video, Lonnie! I always learn something useful from your vast store of knowledge. Thank you for taking the time to share with us!
Excellent video Lonnie! Hey, I have a black Bearcat 2 up myself! :) I like the idea of getting out of the wind behind a blow down and using spruce bows as insulation. I can see where that type shelter would come in real handy. Basing scenarios on true stores is a great idea! Keep them coming! - Paul
yet another informative video w/ loads of common sense Lonnie! An over turned tree is a great idea.
And WE ALL know wind is a killer, not necessarily snow or rain. God Bless
I love your simple life saving solutions. Thank you and God bless you and your wife.
I’ve been getting in the habit of liking the video just as I start watching as I know I will inevitably like it
Good start to any crisis::Stop & think awhile; regain control. Most excellent--thanks.
It was a great video. Loved how you did the scenario vs explained it first. Great job Lonnie!
Good stuff, as always. Thanks so much, Lonnie!! And thank you Connie!!!
You cannot imagine how much i love this kind of life you're livin'...
I'd really like to do that too,but i can afford that only on several weekends...couse i live in a city here in the Carpathians......
Respect bro!Keep it this way Lon'
Always just spot on advice Lonnie.
Lots of good information Lonnie. I like that you explained the principals so that could be applied to other situations or other shelters
I just retired from the Coast Guard and in the marine environment we used Personal Locator Beacons, accuracy is debatable 10 yards to a mile. I would recommend anyone off on an adventure to get one in any environment. I can't tell you how many people could have been rescued using one of these. Can't be rescued if you can't be found
Great video Lonny, I really liked the idea of saving physical energy and using what nature provides.
Great tip. I hope I never find myself in that kind of survival situation. However, if I should, this is one quick shelter I will keep in mind.
Thank you for another great video Lonnie.
Always a pleasure Lonnie!
Some of the finest acting the Alaskan backwoods has to offer!
Lonnie looks as comfortable as a big ol groundhog! Great video and information as usual!!
I believe that to be true why? Because my grandfather did this when he went to gather his horses, I remember the shelter! Kudos!!
Being from Florida and living here all my life...that looks insane!
Hi Lonnie, thanks for another inspiring and educational video. I always think what HAVE I got not worry about what I haven`t got. All the best from England UK, Dave H.
Great video Lonnie and good information as always...Nice to see another video from you.
Cheers Fred
thanks for the information great to know we don't have the cold as you do but it still takes a level head think things out I always enjoy watching your vedoes please keep up the great work I appreciate your time and work you put in your vedoes until next time you take care my friend
Great video. I really like your teaching style and appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I love seeing that beautiful back county as well. Thanks
Thanks, Pard. This could come in handy here in Wyoming during hunting season, just in case! God bless!
Lonnie you are truly amazing. thanks for another great video.
love watching your videos!❤ I love hearing your voice it's so calming!
Lala Land sure would
W M aA
He should narrate audio books or nature documentaries. ;-)
The whistle every time he breathes drives me crazy.
Opus Buddly you need to worry about you more and less about others
I've been a subscriber since you started. I noticed that you're getting better and better camera shots and editing and your content is always enjoyable thanks for another great video. I love learning from you.
Hey Lonnie, you knocked it out of the park again my brother!
Thank you for another great video lonnie. I've learned so much watching your video's. I appreciate the time you take to make them. I look forward to your next one.
Thanks for doing this to teach us more survival ideas
Love your work Lonnie. Thank you my friend.
another life saver. well done and keep um coming. love watching you.IT from the UK
Good demonstration Lonnie, Yes 30 miles from home would be a long walk for sure.
Great videos my friend, like the scenario based survival situations.
ATB Del
The only thing that would frighten me more would be to be alone, 100 miles off the Altlantic coast (or any coast) fishing, and have the same scenario crop up. Satellite phone, or transponder, never leave home without them.
Great depiction, great scenario, excellent remedy! I'm going to check everything twice.
Hey Lonnie!
This Video Was Really Informative. YOU made it real easy and comprehensive to anyone whom would not know what to do. The options you told us about are super helpful buddy! God bless you Brother
Thanks for another great video Lonnie.
That was one heck of a realistic enactment; you might have a future in Hollywood; at least in an upcoming epic outdoors type movie. And believe me I’m not trying to get fresh or sound sarcastic here; great job. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Of course, the fact that your wife probably directs and shoots the entire video makes her an indispensable asset, too.
Great demonstration. Thanks Lonnie and Connie!
Very good down to earth basic shelter - thank you for doing the video
Hey Connie, & Lonnie, haven't been getting much notifications, so I went back. This is my favorite channel!
Thanks Lonnie for your expertise
If I didn’t know you was acting I would believe you, always something to learn from you, thanks.
Regards to you and Connie. 👍👌🇬🇧
Awesome video, i always learn something from your video's, have also found a few new great meals, tonight on a camp fire i made the stew beef sausage, potatoes, onion, bacon and cheese in the Dutch oven, what a great meal that was, thank you, God bless
I love Far North Bushcraft And Survival :) Thanks for keeping the videos coming :)
You forgot to mention how amazing those spruce boughs smell. In a crappy situation, that delightful pine fragrance is soothing to the nerves and makes a frigid night in the bush just a little bit warmer.
Awesome vid Lonnie! Keep up the great job! Thanks.
That snowmobile look huge when you are kneeling beside it. Good vid sir.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great video!
Very good video. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Al
Your videos show so much natural beauty! I think the root ball looks like a Hobit hole. But lit like a great lighthouse. Wonderful expression of survival adaptation skills.
Great advice. Yes, in the back country a person needs to prepare for the worst before leaving camp. Peace
All the best to you and your wife from down under lol . Im glad i came across ur channel as im right into learning survival and new skills for winter fails as we dont get snow where i lve
Extremely important information especially for beginning snowmobile owners.
