3-Day Solo Survival (5 Gallon Bucket Challenge!) | Eating SPIT ROAST GREASE PIG!!!

I survive 3 days on whatever I can stuff into a 5 gallon pale (with the lid closed). I manage to fit some pretty cool things inside this odd shaped container including an axe, saw, and some pretty amazing traps. I will catch fish, trap animals, and build a shelter. Featuring Bass Pro Shops.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

In a true stranded/emergency situation where you didn’t have a filter, the tarp water is preferable to the creek water for sure. But if you’ve got a filter and aren’t truly stranded there’s no way I’d drink water runoff just for a KZbin video 😆

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch BINGO! A tarp can be covered in all kinds of issues. Look at your car, you've got bird poop all over that thing, you wouldn't lick water off it, anymore than drink water from a ditch unfiltered.

[@ChirpyMike]

All those "overnight bird droppings"...I guess birds don't poop in the creek? What about fish poop, raccoon poop? Maybe just admit you made a mistake. In an ACTUAL survival situation, with no other options, tarp water for sure.

[@mattphillips6578]

Tarp rain water especially rain overnight, over creek water every single time. I think every survivalist would make the same decision!!

[@chadrossiter156]

I'm not drinking any water without boiling it personally. If I had a life straw I would use it only for a travel situation.

[@SherrickDuncan]

Why would you not harvest and save that rain water for drinking and cooking? Especially when seconds later you used your life straw to gather water. 😂

[@ChirpyMike]

"Bird poop" 😅

[@coreyactor]

​@@ChirpyMikeI think I would take the potential for bird poop whatever potentially could collect on the tarp versus what is already in the Stream you don't know if a couple hundred feet up the stream from you a big carcass from an Elk or something could be in the water yes a LifeStraw does a lot for purifying but I'll take the the potentially less contaminated tarp water when it's available over creek water.

[@outdoorsforachange]

Dude, you drink bird poop? That's not healthy, man. You laugh at people who don't?

You had all that run off water from your tent why didn't you drink that

[@jimbunda46]

Great video. I'd have drank that rain water that pooled on your tarp before hitting the creek. No sense wasting good rain water!

[@aresranger1675]

Chris I would hope you remembered to pack some WOODOBO maybe in a plastic bag as not to take up much space? After it's only $ 5.00 US. It can make day old sunk taste good! Well maybe not, but everything else. You da man dude!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

True! I didn't put any in the pail because it could attract pests which would be compelled to dig it up!

[@Deadcntr]

Raccoon is good. I'm nearly 70 years old. When I was young many families in the Ozarks ate Raccoon, and Ground Hog.

[@outdoorsforachange]

Nice harvest of the raccoon!

[@spideymcgee4718]

Happy to be your company on your adventures.

[@olyman63]

Great show as always. Thank you.

[@davidparker536]

So glad you pointed out trapping isn't profitable anymore. To make 3,000 dollars a month you would need 1000 of those raccoons. That is hard to do even if they were overpopulated in that area. Everyone farms everything now. It is just the cheapest and most efficient way to do it.

[@williamsimpson73]

WHY DIDNT YOU USE THE RAIN WATER OFF THE TARP????

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Because I have a life straw, and needed to remove the water to stop the tarp getting damaged.

[@mightymaxx1]

Water run off from a new tarp is nasty. If I had a life straw as an option I would definitely use that rather than drink chemical flavored tarp water. In a true survival situation where the straw isn't an option. then yeah...tarp water it is.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

@@mightymaxx1 In a desert, yes, you would drink the tarp rain water. Creek water is rain water....it's all the same, needs to be treated.

[@daddyjojovelasco]

​@@TheWoodedBeardsmanwell of course use the straw for sure... But why not start with the cleaner rain water? Not complaining or telling you how to survive. I am.genuinely interested.

[@BushcraftExplorer]

Is there a reason you didn't drink the rain water you collected on the tarp overnight? They use to serve Raccoon at the White House many many years ago.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Tarp could have a higher concentration of bacteria, such as bird droppings washing down the tarp of squirrel, mouse, and certainly bacteria concentration in it. Either way, water needs to be treated.

[@BushcraftExplorer]

@@TheWoodedBeardsman Thanks for the info... That is a good point.

[@dannydecare2116]

If the water is questionable in a stream like that, you can go 4 to 5 feet from it and dig a hole and wait. The water that seeps into that will be cleaner

[@outdoorsforachange]

Hey your channel and you and modern selfreliance and GERAMY ARE GUINNESSES

[@TheSupachef69]

Hey man, LOVE your videos. Just a quick question: You tipped all that water off your tarp, then used your life straw to get water. Would it not be better to reserve the life straw for when rainwater is not available?

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I wouldn't drink rain water from a tarp if I had a way to purify it. Tarp water could be as dirty, or more dirty than creek water because there are all kinds of contaminants on a tarp.

[@sorrowclown1919]

I’m pretty sure I told you already. I really admire your prowess with survival and outdoors Chris 🐸🍺🔪🔥

[@MattBhigney]

[@kbtravelfun1146]

You just had very fresh and clean rain water on your tarp from the rain and you just tipped it and decided to drink from the river with the filter tube but I would have kept the rain water on your tarp mate it was very clean water, ☔️⛺️ survival tips 101

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Tarp water isn't clean. You can not trust rain water. That tarp isn't clean.

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

I’ve got the foothold traps🔥

[@kruuger]

why didnt you just dip the lifestraw in the water on your tarp. rain water is pretty ok to drink.. would have save you the trip to get water ,.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Tarp water is not more safe to drink that creek water through a lifestraw, and the creek is full of water, whenever I need it.

[@kilotangoieat185]

Why would you waste all that fresh water?

[@jstizzy60]

What temperature is considered cold enough for the meat to be okay to sit out overnight?

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

10C and below, I would say that would be ok. Beaver. muskrat in cold water is fine up to 25C, fur on, no damage to the pelt. Deer up to 10-20C overnight in shade, cleaned and packed right away....BUT, this may spoil in direct sunlight. You really need to use your nose, and judgement, and everything after matters, meat needs to be eaten right away or frozen. As it will begin to spoil as soon as you open it up, provide it with any air. If the meat just falls apart when you touch it...even if it smells ok, it's not. Time after meat spoils is crucial, because it's not the meat that's the problem, it's the BACTERIA which is literally pooping out toxins on the meat that is the problem - even if you cook it, the toxins are still there, and they will cause you problems.

[@BigMex777]

Wouldn’t it have been safer to drink the rain water on the tarp with the life straw?

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

It would be about the same, perhaps slightly cleaner.

[@BigMex777]

[@trumpwon2240]

Good to see you're getting in the woods and posting content. Did you ever get answers on what was causing your gut issue?

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Not really. Bit of GERD, heart burn, possible gut microbiom issues. I'm off meds now, still have heart burn if I lay down, and bloating. I've tried almost everything, and it's improved to stable, but not back to normal. Probiotics made it worse, yogurt seems to help a bit. So trying to get gut health back. Challenging.

[@overweighthikerwannabe901]

Even if there wasn't a way to fit in a metal container couldn't it have been easier to fit in a food grade plastic bag to collect water in? Then you could drink from the bag with the filter instead of needing to bend down to drink from the creek and you coul bring water with you so you didn't need to visit the water source everytime you were thirsty.

[@laylend8632]

I have had Beaver fever it sucks clean water is key.

[@ChirpyMike]

Dumps rainwater from his tarp, then drinks creek water with a lifestraw. Genius.

[@meinungsfreiheit7004]

Isnt rainwater without the minerals?

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Lifestraw water is safer than tarp water.

[@Wildernessquestoutdoors]

Rainwater straight from nature isn’t as safe as you think.

[@ChirpyMike]

@@Wildernessquestoutdoors it is if you use a lifestraw

[@daddyjojovelasco]

Just curious.... Why didn't you drink the water collected on the tent instead?

[@dbeaumontresident847]

Great series!!

[@Jack-ic1kb]

Don’t know why the comments are acting like rainwater is the second coming of Christ. If you have a lifestraw to drink from then the source of water doesn’t matter much (something you know already).

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

The tarp is dirty - it's been on the floor of my car for 2 years.

[@devildogsbushcraft7898]

I heard that porcupine was ok eating. But probably not good for trapping right?

Porcupine is legal all year.

[@fordboy95232]

[@devildogsbushcraft7898]

What are you hoping to catch in the conni bear trap?

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I have been asked by the owner to remove certain pest species from the property, so anything goes. Skunk, I will process down for bait, raccoon is edible, but not preferred, possum might wander in. Some accidentals would be tasty like rabbit, or squirrel.

I haven't gotten sick using the lifestraw yet!

[@spaaggetii]

Yeah, back in the day people lived to 30-40 years old. Because they didn't know about hygiene or drinking brackish bad water and tended to drink beer and bad fermented food because they knew know better. People these days should know better.

[@spaaggetii]

i personally think you are going brain crazy and need some time off of the KZbin vid stuff. You are talking and ranting in your vids lately. I am not sure if you are healthy enough to continue this without a break. Half of what you are saying is gibberish and makes no sense sometimes.

[@chadpitre5862]

So you let me down why did you waste that clean rain water it was a better option then river water

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I'm not so sure about that. I say they are about the same.

[@kenithemans806]

So why dump the fresh rain water and drink nasty water?

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

The creek water tastes good, could be dirty, but the tarp water also has a concentration of bacteria. Could have squirrel dooky in it, or bird droppings. Nothing is 100% safe.

[@jaymeswheeler]

After you scrape do you tan the hides? That could raise the value and is not too time consuming if you just let the chemical processes do their work Turning them into hats, belts gloves, that's the real money

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I still doubt you would make anything close to minimum wage when all is factored in. There simply isn't an interest in fur at all. Nearly zero demand. Every step of the way is labor and time, nothing about it is easy.

Just a suggestion, find a small y branch to support your cooking spit and dig the other end into the ground a couple inches. You will still be able to turn the spit and not burn your future firewood. Great content.

[@jessanddavidboham8014]

I can't wait to see the next video of this and also I was wondering why didn't you just make a thing for the raccoon to where you can put it up on two sticks on one end of the spit that you could raise and lower but also have the fire smoking it underneath it all night instead of putting it up and hoping that it was still going to be good you could have just smoked it all night long and how come you just didn't rip a whole leg off and eat it to where you would get a whole bunch of food in you instead of little bites at a time? but anyways I can't wait to see the next one.

[@SkankHunt-yo5on]

Can't believe that your buried survival supply didn't have weapons, knives, and A POT. If you want bait bring peanut butter. It's more long term storable than apples and carrots.

[@overweighthikerwannabe901]

How many of each trap would you consider ideal if you weren't experimenting on how they compared ect. I'm mainly askinf about it from a weight/efficiency/usability perspective. I suppose the environment you are in would factor in.
