I've had some rugged camping, meaning being cold and damp, but I always had fire and food. What I've learned from you are ways to better prepare for cold and rain as well as some foraging skills. I still don't feel prepared to survive on my own due to my age and lack of strength (just over 5 foot tall and almost age 70), but with help and luck, I'm pretty sure I could survive thanks to you.

I don't usually comment on videos, but am concerned about your safety. Love your videos by the way. Always use a sling or chain for attaching to something. Never hook the cable onto itself. It will break right there. Always open your hood on the truck while winching, if the cable breaks, it won't go through your windshield. This is also why you want to stand off to the side as well. Cable won't come straight back at you. Dampen the cable with weight, like a coat, as to force it to the ground as opposed to whipping up in the air. I'd get a couple snatch blocks as well. You'll find all kinds of uses for your winch. Really enjoy your channel and what you do and would really hate to see you get hurt and have to change your way of life that you seem to love so much. Best wishes and stay safe.

The sticker on the door is GVWR meaning 5,700 lbs is the most the truck and all cargo can weigh safely. That truck is about 4,200 lbs give or take so you can haul 1,500 lbs in it. I’ve learned a lot about the bush from this channel so I thought I’d return the favor with some vehicle knowledge 😆

you needed narrower trees. you wedge the log between the trees, and put the cable on one of the outside ends. you get a fulcrum bonus. would take a fraction of the energy required. if i remember i'll make a quick demo video tomorrow and post it.

If you aren’t out there for the love of the work then just get an apartment and a job. No it’s not glamorous, but staying outside for extended periods of time can be deeply satisfying.
