48 hr SURVIVAL: W/ NO GEAR BUT WHAT WE FOUND!!!!!!

The Wasteland Survival Challenge is simple: start with a meager kit, the other 99% of your kit is what you find, make or modify. We catch and cook some pretty great meals! We challenge our fellow KZbinrs Junkyard Fox / junkyardfox and Smooth Gefixt / @smoothgefixt to take the challenge on next!

Who’s Wolfcri?

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Wolfcri is on a bushcraft forum called "Bushcraft USA". If people join the forum, we ask that they are respectful and helpful. The forum has been a great learning platform to date and very supportive. We would like to keep it that way. Thanks for watching!

He is just a guy with a vision. And wise.

[@williambenner5550]

Growing up in California and being into learning about survival techniques, I was thrilled to find your channel! So many cool hacks in this video! I have also eaten ground squirrels, and they can be rather tasty, if cooked right. Thanks again for all your great content!

[@lawrencevang8620]

If you add Thai chillies it will take the stew to a whole another level. Awesome to see others appreciate Hmong food! Also keep the old ways alive and that H silent in "Hmong." Love the videos.

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Thanks, I agree. We added a siracha packet which helped, but those Thai chilis are hard to beat!

[@seahunter1]

That is very true. I packed the ingredients for the stew and forgot the chilies. I will bring them next time. This stew is becoming my favorite.

[@JH-6]

That was fun. Love to see what Dylan, Julius and Jaeger and James and Cuervo do with it. Thanks for sharing

[@markopolo945]

Greetings Dr. Kevin and Justin. I love watching you and learning new survival skills! 🤜⚡🤛

[@k4x4map46]

Lots of great advice!! Not sure though; pellet gun, canoe, and hatchet--crime scene alley!! j/k great episode!

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Lol, I hadn't really thought of it that way.

[@elkhunter76]

Great video Kevin! During the energy boom here in WY you could find all kinds of treasures along the highways. The last couple of years I was working I found several Vise Grip pliers, Electrical pliers, a 6" Wilton vise, screwdrivers, totes with camping gear that must have fallen off someones trailer. It was just crazy !

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Thanks Rem! Man those are some great finds!

[@rudysison9010]

Cool stuff.

[@tbsbstrd521]

DR..THAT WAS ONE HELL OF VIDEO INTERESTING TO SEE HOW FROM NOTHING YOU MADE ALOT

[@seahunter1]

That trip was so much fun! I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Me too man! Me too! We have to do one on a river or lake and one on the sea shore!

[@padrerich1]

I love slingshots! Ground squirrels are one of the few things you can take with a slingshot in California. 9 or 10 mm lead splitshot is lethal to small game. The more spherical the better.

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Agreed! The slingshot did not get enough airtime on this outing as the pellet gun was FTW! I guess we will have to use it a bit more next time!

[@pamcassidy2229]

This was a fantastic video! I really enjoyed it!

Subscribed to you after your chef life video. You are incredibly engaging and entertaining to watch. Thank you for making this content.

[@cloudapostolicassembly5742]

What I like about your videos especially this one is that you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a good time in the woods I like your information is very practical I really enjoy it you have a blessed day

[@vincehawks8535]

I learn something new from every video. I love this content. Please keep up the good work Dr kev

[@Noah-ql2ni]

Awesome video! I always look forward to these survival videos, they are very interesting

I grow up eating squirrel so its normal. And they're pretty darn good as long as you know how to cook it. We usually eat them by steaming or boiling 😋 them.

One of the most fun outings we've had! Good luck and have fun!

[@krishendeolal7948]

Dr Kevin salutations. I'm from a beautiful tropical island 🏝️ Trinidad. Fishing 🎣 and camping gears, are way beyond the means of an ordinary chap. So enjoying the outdoors, besides partial food, one really has to do a survival 🏕️ trial. Using the forest for every needs. So learning from you is my greatest asset to try my first attempt. You're my inspiration. I'm binge watching.

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Thanks for watching! Be safe and enjoy all that the wilds have to offer!

[@alanmagana1927]

I love this. Loved that you did it with your bro. Dr. Kevin you inspire the shit of me, and it’s refreshing to see other people hold value in random things they find. Also loved the end when you were asking about how to say Hmong. And all the cool things you said about those folks. Unfortunately up here in siskiyou you hear not the best about them. And I for one have no issue with them but a lot of people here just think all they do is grow illegally and harm the environment. Super cool to hear dr. Kevin with his refreshing take. You also inspired me to do some knapping and I am very very rough but thanks to you I have a good idea. I can go on and on.

[@yanjijay6752]

Dang mossed the video but looking good Hmong stew sounds good lols all you need os wild edibles would work

[@ShoSho-py6xd]

Another great video! Can you make a trap that can be left for a while in the river to catch a fish?? I’m interested to know

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Sho Sho, Unfortunately, I believe you would only legally be able to do that for crayfish in CA. I am pretty sure the regulations require closely attending fishing devices and traps are not a legal means of take for fin fish.

I wonder if you realise how low the volume of your videos are...still like them but pls turn it up

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Thanks for letting me know! I am working on it. I had some wireless mics but they kept cutting out which meant I lost a lot of footage. I am looking into new ones now.

[@ror_sal4483]

What is the law with pellet ammo. Has to be steel or copper?

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

In some counties it does have to be lead free (I believe). However, the led free ban in CA currently only applies to firearms and therefore pellet rifles are exempt.

[@ror_sal4483]

@@catchncookcalifornia1574 would be rad to find a pellet cast and use weights you find to make your own “trash pellet”. Thanks for the insight. I usually hunt rifle or shotgun, that’s why I was curious.

[@gokucrazy22]

Out of curiosity, what is the viability of taking acorns and fermenting them into a miso-like paste? I imagine due to the low protein content, you may have to augment it with squid or something like that, but it would be an interesting experiment

[@JohnSmith-pz7vy]

If leached properly, i dont see why koji wouldn't grow on acorn flour. Ive seen it grown on apples, steaks, beets... Also seems those two flavors would go well together👍

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

I believe Pascal Baudar has done it. I will look into it though!
