15 Wilderness Bushcraft Skills For Surviving 100 Days Alone in the Wild | Brought to you by History

15 Wilderness Survival & Bushcraft Skills for surviving 100 days alone in the outdoors. This video is sponsored by History. Here are a few handy wilderness survival tips that I would want to know when having to survive alone in the outdoors. It is said there are four pillars of survival: Water, Fire, Shelter and Food. In this episode I show you how to unlock each one of these pillars and give you the knowledge that just might help you when alone in the wilderness. From collecting water from plants, to building primitive bushcraft shelters with your bare hands. How to catch fish with a handline, and light a fire with no lighter, matches or man made material.

[@bencowles2105]

My record for wilderness survival is 217 days. It was done in south American jungle over a hundred miles from the nearest sign of civilization. In the back woods of alaska i did a solo camp for 176 days. It is not as hard as some people think. If you know what you are doing you can survive almost anywhere and you can actually live failry comfortably in the wildness. My uncle went to the wilderness to get away from civilization and has lived out in the wild for over 20 years. The cabin he built by hand using hand tools is actually pretty nice.

Great tips. I flooded my son with these types of things when he was young. He always seemed annoyed. Our walks took forever, we had less time to fish or whatnot. It was when we spent a couple days in the woods he saw it all come together, and knew why I took that extra time. Priceless!

[@sid6554]

My story is the opposite. I was always interested in wilderness survival but my parents discouraged me saying it's dangerous. Also, living in England meant that there is no wilderness, and it's impossible to get over 100m away from a fence, road, house or farm. So my dreams were crushed.

The average TV viewership prefers the so called "Reality" TV. History Channel is only looking for "eyes" to deliver to advertisers. Kind of what "Bushcrafting" and KZbin has done. This video has nothing to do with "Bushcrafting". It's catering to the eyes KZbin wants delivered. He makes a bundle of this crap.

[@unrealkalel3130]

I think you got the valleys wrong in the beginning. A U-shaped valley indicates a glacier, where a V-shaped one indicates that the valley was formed by a river.

[@dirkvandenberg4735]

As an geography teacher, I can verify this. I was searching for the bright person who knew. But maybe add a pop upp in the video. So you won't create misconceptions ;)

[@OldBillOverHill]

I first got into this as a youth. I bought a book, "Edible Plants of the Rocky Mountains", still a great reference book. One plant, the common cat tail, can save you life. From the pollen to young shoots to the tubers, it is edible. The cotton can be used to start fires and as padding and insulation. The reeds can be woven into mats to cover a shelter and sleep on. Willow is good too for weaving. Pine or spruce pitch is great for a fire starter too and as a sealant/glue. In a conifer forest you can roof your A frame shelter with boughs or seek shelter under a big spruce and you will find dry tinder there too.

10 items for 100 days (aside from the clothes on my back and the bag the items would be in) - Hatchet - Fixed blade Survival knife the one i have has a flint on it as well - Box of storm proof matches - Bundle of paracord - heavy duty Tarp - Shovel - life straw or sawyer mini (some kind of filter) - simple Fishing kit (line and a few hooks in an altoids box or whatever) - simple first aid kit with antibiotic ointment, bandages, lotion for dry skin etc - metal cup for boiling water and cooking etc The arctic would have plenty of snow and ice to melt for water as well as preserving any meat. The elements would make fire and shelter EXTREMELY important so the hatchet, knife, cordage, tarp, shovel would all be helpful in using the pine trees and branches to make a really nice shelter to keep you safe from elements. 2 cutting tools 2 fire starters (matches, flint and steel) 2 water purification tools (life straw and cup for boiling water) 2 ways to gather live food (Snares and fishing) and of course first aid kit for minor boo-boos that can become huge problems if not treated quickly in survival situations. Also assume I would be wearing many layers of clothes as well as some sort of hat, boots, gloves, wool socks etc and those wouldnt count towards my 10 items.

[@joedoe7041]

for that 100 day survival show, I'd have to ask if the items are only provided to a list or can I use my own. I would prefer to use my own as they are items I know. as for the items they would be 1/ a fit high carbon full tang knife with a single edge and ether a drop point tip or spear tip 2/ a 7cm ferro rod 3/ a bivy, hootchi or reusable space blanket(dependent on climate) 4/ 1.5lt single walled metal container(if a nesting cup is considered a part of it, that too) 5/ 7.5m or 25ft 550 paracord 6/ a sighting compass 7/ 100% cotton bandana or a shemagh 8/ 1 full roll of ducktape 9/ headtorch(preferred one with a red filter) 10/ cloth sail needle if the items were my own 1/ my pig knife - it's all of the above with a spear point, the grip is a blood wood handle that's has 3 brass pins. it can do all that a survival knife and a hatchet can do, and if I need to set a trap or hunt with a spear. I can knock out the brass pins and fix it to some wood with wooden pegs. 2/ ferro rod - it's tap handle has long since broken and been replace with a tap of iron wood. as for flint it's often easy to find if you know what your looking for, and it's best used only as a backup incase I lose my ferro rod as flint will damage the back of your blade. 3/ I would prefer my hootchi but if it's cold, my RSB since I've had it for years to the point the covered side has torn and been replaced with a canvas sail cloth 4/ my steel canteen(with nesting cup) great for boiling water and cooking meals. 5/ 7.5m 550 paracord. honestly people under utilize this sort of cord. it can be used in making traps from simple snares to spring pulls. and it can be broken down to make thread for clothing repairs to fishing line. to name a few anyways 6/ my old sighting compass, it was my grandfathers from his time in the military and I know it's off by 2 degrees to the west 7/ my olive green bandana. lots of uses, from being used to make charcloth to filtering water 8/ a simple roll of ducktape(waterproofed). used to make repairs and handles to making water containers and dry firestarters 9/ normally I don't use a headtorch but my L-torch. again a keep sake from my grandfather 10/ my harden steel cloth sail needle. like a bandana or ducktape it also has a lot of uses

[@joedoe7041]

@Jack Snow I've said - bivy, hootchi or reusable space blanket(dependent on climate). the dependent on climate is a pretty important factor. but what I've stated wasn't just a space blanket, but a reusable space blanket. which are much thicker and insulated then a normal one, also I stated if it was in cold weather, I would prefer my RSB(rough sleep bag). but you shouldn't underestimate a standard space blanket ether. if used with a decently made makeshift shelter, and a fire it can keep you warm though the night. the most important factor is the climate however, if it's something like Canada or Alaska then no.

[@BruceNitroxpro]

One thing to remember is your EDC, your "everyday carry." Somehow, you MUST have a knife... a bushcraft knife is best, but ANY blade is better than none, The second thing is a stainless steel container within your basic loadout. Third is carrying a ferrocerium rod, or fire steel as its often caled. Knowing how to use it is more than a skill, it is an art. The fourth thing is so simple that many people forget... CORDAGE. Basic bank line (#36 tarred three strand is best) is worth its weight in gold. Most people need a map of their area... but most people don't know about how to read one or even how to navigate with one. Learning should be BEFORE you really NEED it.

[@BruceNitroxpro]

@Saitama Baldy , Actually, many people think that every ferrocerium rod HAS a "fire steel" striker... and I guess that makes sense as most strikers ARE steel. LOL I will try and stick to ferro rod, as it sounds better. If you listen online, many people can't tell one from the other. ROFL I guess I should go to a seminal person such as Dave Canterbury and find out again the correct verbiage. Thanks! Bruce

[@BruceNitroxpro]

@Saitama Baldy , True, but all fatwood isn't so perfect... the fatwood I crave is at the base of pine tree stumps. Dat stuff is MAGICAL! And a little goes a LONG way!

[@verticalsorh7124]

I’m sorry but calling it an art is pushing it. That implies it’s hard to do but those rods are so simple a child can learn how to use them in 5 minutes. I’ve taught a 6 year old how to use one. In 6 minutes they got a flame. The real skill is knowing what material to use.

[@BruceNitroxpro]

@@verticalsorh7124 , true, that was a bit over the top, but I am like that and often use flowery language. And you are right again about what material to use, both for the ferro rod and the tinder. The tinder is often more overlooked and can often make or break a fire making attempt.

[@bobhope5773]

When putting a bag over a branch and leaves, the water which ends up in the bag comes from transpiration, a biological process (leaf sweat) & not evaporation, which a mechanical process. To gather water from evaporation, dig a hole (a good depth, not shallow) fill with vegetation. Put a collection pot at the bottom in the middle. Cover hole with plastic (black plastic works best as it will heat up the air & vegetation more than clear/white plastic will). Hold in place with rocks, don't have the plastic taught, leave it a bit loose. In the center of the plastic add a stone so the middle makes a funnel shape! The sun will now heat up the air in the hole, causing moisture to evaporate from the vegetation, which then condenses on the plastic and then runs down to where the stone is weighting the plastic and then drips from that point in to the collection pot!

[@FLSTFB103]

Very informative and straight to the point. No BS.

[@martinmuller292]

Great videos. I’ve been binge watching them lately. Some good reminders of what I already knew but also a ton of new things to test out. Just one thing: as every high school student in Norway can tell you v shaped valleys are made by rivers and valleys carved by glaciers are u shaped. Because of the wider base and the rocks the glacier is pushing in front and beneath itself. But don’t worry, in Norway you will find plenty water in both valleys 😂

It's a pity you don't have the time to enter "Alone" I'm sure you would do well. I've been watching the 30 day one, they arrive at a place with nothing but the clothes they stand up in, no knives or axes, absolutely nothing apart from a beast, then survive for 30 days. It takes one special person to achieve this and I think you'd give it a good shot, Go for it mate.

[@johnmoss4624]

my 10 items for arctic survival in alaska: 1. queen size wool blanket (king size, if they'd let you get away with it) 2. axe, full size 3. ferro rod 5"x1" 4. full tang knife, 4" blade, 90 degree spine 5. scoped bolt-action rifle in .375 H&H magnum, 30 rounds i think is a reasonable amount to include with the rifle. mostly bear/wolf protection. survival hunting possibilities for big game 6. 1-quart stainless steel canteen 7. 2-quart pot 8. 100ct-bottle of multivitamins 9. if not near the coast, 1lb-package (plastic waterproof container, resealable) of iodized salt. otherwise, something else useful, like a large heavy-mil tarp 10. a sufficient amount of #36 tarred bankline (usable for general cordage plus fishing line, nets, repair, snares, etc), probably 2-3lbs all items top quality rationale: all things difficult or impossible to make of find in-situ reliably. kind of went back and forth on the vitamins but since you don't know what you're going to eat, better to be safe. salt is important if you aren't near the ocean where you can boil the saltwater down. the axe, ferro rod, knife all speak for themselves. going into bear-and-wolf country with no deterrent or protection is not smart, the rifle is obvious. 375 H&H is a chambering preferred by alaskan guides. dropping one big elk or moose will provide 30-50 days worth of food easily. the stainless canteen is obvious, you want to have access to clean water and the ability to purify, even when you're away from camp. the pot is important if you are purifying larger amounts of water or are needing to boil wild edibles, and gives you a backup purification method if your canteen is lost or damaged. the bankline you can use for a lot of important purposes. you can make hooks from wood or bone. the blanket is a big obvious thing. blanket+shelter+fire = survival in the cold.

Ideally a person well suited for this kind of thing would already know the knowledge that you could bring in a book. Knowledge in that case weighs nothing , and can't be destroyed by wind or rain

100 days of no stress from the "world" :) would love that .. im a ex soldier .. love making shelters and get hungry too feel alive

[@seanmorgan9358]

Yes and love alone

[@markpaff8211]

Would you make some side videos of tutorials for these? Like, how to process nettles, or how to fillet certain fish? I know you have some in your longer videos, but a shorter video with a single focus might be good too?

[@ThomasJordan-ITW]

Such awesome shots in this video! And some very helpful tips, all things considered these days. Thanks as always mate!

[@TAOutdoors]

Cheers!

[@legitmycats5905]

This video was the most well made, complete survival video I have ever seen. It addresses many of the "but what if I don't have thats" that other videos do not.

[@MiloKolb]

I love these videos thanks it's really helping with my bushcraft skills.

[@EBb697]

Thank you so much!! This is so cool!!

[@TAOutdoors]

No problem

[@householdone7559]

Awesome. Really really good stuff. Kept it to the basics. Good going. What can you use for the bow lighting technique when you don't have straw handy to drop in the hot ember? And have you ever tried to do the bow drill method using nettle cord instead of something like paracord?

[@patriciasegovia5865]

i love this dude not just bc of his bushcraft skills but bc of that cinematography brUh its WonDErFul

[@bobmcelroy7289]

Excellent tutorial! Just the kind of quality I expect when I watch your channel.

[@spindleshankscock]

History channel is sponsoring you eh? Nicely done Mike!

"The White-clawed crayfish was once a widespread and common species in English and Welsh rivers, but has suffered a decline of 50 - 80% across its European range in the last ten years and is classified as ‘endangered’ on the IUCN red list of threatened species and is at risk of global extinction."

[@pieterveenders9793]

Probably displaced by foreign invasive species like those from Asia and the US? They used to be common in the Netherlands as well if I'm not mistaken, but now it's mostly an invasive crab species from the US you'll find.

[@CptnSavage]

Mike another great video as always. Glad that you concentrated on the 4 essential skills. If you can master those you are well on your way to being able to survive many emergency situations. Thanks again mate.

[@evilchaperone]

Heading up to Alberta for week of bushcraft. Looking forward to learning.

[@tonfisk9807]

So cool dude - Thanks for posting this- I don’t really know anyone that does stuff like this but I really want to learn. So bit by bit I’ll keep watching and will try build up as many skills as I possibly can!

[@TAOutdoors]

Cheers!

[@LokyMusik]

Thank you for savin me my Sunday I will appreciate as always :=) PS: Thumbs up before watchin is regular :)

Ditto.

[@LokyMusik]

​@@TAOutdoors I watched it and yes I loved it but why did you made it that short ? For your standards it could be ~40 mins (and I would appreciate that) but thats only imo :) would love to see more of these if possible

[@shanerowell6943]

Love these quick learning videos. Forest Overnighter is my request. Really miss those. Hope you and yours are well!

[@kjbuchanan63]

Excellent information! Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

I'd bet half that money that Les Stroud, Survivorman, could do it easily.

[@ajbray6632]

He'd do it and theyd come to pick him up and he'd be living in a 1300 square foot log cabin and a bear mat.
