Nice video and a new subscriber.👍 Your channel just came up in my feeds. Some of the comments from the survival expert trolls are so funny! 😂 Silly gripes and 💩 from so-called 💩 “experts” that boast their self-grandeur, perfection, and regurgitate 💩 cliche soundbites from behind a keyboard while fondling their Tom Brown Tracker and all dressed up in surplus camo! 😂😂😂!

How Do you open shelter wall to feed fire

Candles could have been used in the truck with safe candle holders. Great video. Not too many people think about the worst case scenario.. keeping an extra key under your vehicle can save your life as well.. E kits are essential when in the backcountry. I drove into a frozen field . Came back from hunting. The vehicle was stuck. I had everything in the vehicle to camp for days. We walked towards town. And not long a car came. Her dad was a retired Philadelphia cop. He pulled us out. My friend and his wife got a 4x4 truck stuck on ice in the hills.. not prepared at all walked countless miles . They don't want to even relive the experience

I've used super shelters. Make an upside down fire 🔥 . With body length logs and you'll be good all or most of the night without having to mess with the fire. Tuck the plastic in towards you and pin it down with a log , rocks, etc.. It helps keep the sparks from landing on the plastic and burning a hole in it. Don't go to crazy with the fire. It will get too hot in the shelter.

I think it would be better to stay in the car in the winter. Firstly, it would be easier to find you because you could use the horn or lights. Secondly, it provides better shelter and protection from animals etc. Most people, unless trained or passionate about survival, would not survive one night in the woods in the winter. Apart from that, great material for someone who knows what they are doing. Greetings from Poland.

Working and talking makes you sweat MORE. I suggest making a video with music + subtitles.

Jeep Wagoneer should come from the factory with that message pre etched on the back glass with a signal panel part of the standard equipment.

I read the comments and people are suggesting big logs. Big logs are great. But if you plan to process a bunch of big logs with handsaws and axes you better have several hours to work with in the daylight. And don’t work too hard and get sweaty. Sweaty clothes could be your death sentence. So unless you start around noon or maybe carry a chainsaw (that will start) fairly small and convenient logs might not be a bad idea.

Thanks for sharing. Great information.. Everyone should know this process.

Thanks for sharing. Well done..

When you made the crib, did you have large branches on the bottom, or only the boughs on the ground to lay on?

When I lived in Alaska we were taught even as children to always carry an emergency kit with you.

i think you may want to consider staying with the vehicle.........always easier to find than leavig it you can heat the car if you had correct items....battery blanket , jackery sleeping bag blankets etc

A saw for cutting logs to length is a good thing.

Thank you for this video. The MK Super Shelter is, IMHO, a superb answer to the question of survival on a cold night. I like your long fire. You could do that even if you were slightly incapacitated, as none of the individual pieces were very heavy. If you had time, strength, and appropriate resources, a Siberian Log Fire might have been very good with that MK SS.

Thank you very much friend for bringing great content I highly appreciate stay safe outdoors God bless you and your family

I like tomahawks for ease of carry , but in winter it's easier to cut larger longer logs with a small ax with a two pound head and an 18 or 19 Inch handle like a Woodcraft Pack Ax .

Bigger logs

A can of high vis orange spray paint in the trunk also works great. Yes I know snow can cover it. It's just a good piece of car survival gear. It's also great for trail blazing.

I survived a freezing night in the sierra Nevada mountain range, 2’ of snow…. when I was eight years old with nothing. Again… when I was 14. Wind river range ,Wyoming. 2 foot snowstorm. Stayed in my sleeping bag for three days. Tarp lean-to and small burner to heat food and hot chocolate. hiked 50 miles into the wilderness using topo map and compass. We returned to the car a month later.

You talk way too damn much.

how long did that small amount of small wood actually last when you were filming?

Tinder fungus also

I have a 9×12 nylon tarp and some high quality mylar blankets that are in the bottom of my hunting pack for this very reason. I shot a mule deer close to dark 4 miles back in the mountains several years ago and had to spend the night hugging a fire to stay warm 🥶 never again.

A lot of sound advice in this video, from foraging extra supplies as you work to sheltering.

Thank you for this video! You did a great job demonstrating and explaining what to do if you are unprepared for camping and have to survive.

Right on brother. Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉

Sure wish he said how long it took to build his shelter

To keep a fire going all night, get 4x as much wood as you think you need!

He accompanied alot for late in the afternoon. Most would “push on hoping to extract themselves. 2 wise tools to pack- knife and ferro rod (or lighter)

Rocks , not close to the river would be great to keep the shelter warm…. Given time, of course

Wise to build a wood base under the fire- saved my butt when a canoe overturned on a river- helped to dry 2 people out and a great morale booster… had lunch right then

Being resourceful, use your belt to make a larger bundle more manageable- it makes your resource trips more efficient

You start to sweat take layers off how many shelters can be made in the time that this person gets done talking I predict about 25 or more Let’s try this in the pouring rain This Video is a Waste of time 😮😂👍

Melt snow for water

Go Hunt Bigfoot

Thank you for this excellent teaching video--I hope over time it may save some of your viewers lives. Barton

Id have built a fire before building a shelter

Would have liked to have seen you stay overnight. It's one thing talking about You should have proved it ...personally small tarp, lighter, army blanket, light to carry ,alot of work building that shelter...gathering all that wood and material...small tarp could carry in back pack...

Thanks. Hope to do some filming next season. I like your Vancouver Island videos.

Damn you suck bro, not 12 to 18 inches of bedding, can very much see through the back wall of you shelter, and your EDC in a cold weather issue sucks. Hahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhaha

The Ruger American is a shooter. I have one in 204 Ruger and I also have a Tikka in 204 Ruger. All I am going to say is if you can only have one and money is an issue. Get the Ruger American Predator. Their so equel in accuracy.you can’t decide which one truely is. The Ruger is differently not as picky on which ammo to use. It shoots everything good to excellent. The Tikka is more picky on ammo.

Lets all critique the shyt out of someone whos out there doing it, offering a viewpoint and potential advice, because from your couch you know hes wrong...😂

Excellent points and I can clearly see the amount of work that went into showing us this. As your video states, “how to survive” is different to me than a how to plan and then go camp in a freezing situation. When you find yourself in a situation unplanned, these tips are invaluable. Subscribed.

Did you die that night ?????????????/

Excellent advice regarding pacing yourself to help regulate your core temperature.

Bravo! And, Upstate NY is a VERY big place.

Another method of keeping warm is building a fire and then using the fire pit for your bed and of course covering it with bows and then laying on top of them

Good basic information but we have to remember that this is staged not the same as a real scenario

One thing that could use more discussion is when to decide to set up camp. Realistically, a lot of people would continue to walk around trying to get un-lost until it got dark or it set in that they were hopelessly lost.
