The reason for his initial misfortunes is his requirement of setting up his camera to capture the events for us. There's not a doubt in my mind that this man would have done much better in the initial portion of the video without having to lug and set up specific angles for us.

You are right, he was a Marine I think

It is just a youtube video, it is not truth. You really believe, that he walked for miles to hunt anything, took few shots with the camera, including the very one where he spots a squirrel and shoots it?

[@olivierseurin1204]

@@szymonmaraszewski1514 It's credible. This guy has roughly 20 years of experience with all this survival stuff. He quite possibly knows that piece of land well, and is very proficient with a bow

[@Chris-pc2hw]

I love your stuff! Do you really hunt squirrel with a bow or was that just opptunity knocking? That was an incredible shot with a home made bow.

[@-godsspeed-9159]

I highly doubt if he doesn’t hunt regularly he would’ve made that shot, it’s a small target and he knows how to butcher the squirrel too so that shows experience in eating them

[@calvinwalker5408]

I don't know why, everytime I watch one of these vids from Donny I want to go out camping. The reason it's strange is because I'm not an outdoorsy dude, AT ALL. So great work, you made one lazy ass person want to work for his food.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Thanks. Finn is a Pitsky and it’s a 6x8 tarp.

[@trouty7947]

Love seeing the optimisation you have with your kit. The modern stuff you have is the stuff that makes the biggest difference: a good steel hatchet, lightweight waterproof tarp, paracord, metal cooking vessel and stout modern backpack (along with clothes). Everything else, can be served just as well by either making it when you get there (tarp pegs) or from natural materials you probably made your self. It's interesting to see what is *definitely* worth spending money on, and what is essentially just a convenience

Hey donny, love your stuff, just wanted to ask when did you learn to do all of the things you can do? Did you learn from an early age? I love bush craft and hunting and just primitive living in general but being from a pretty urban part of the uk and 16 there aren’t many opportunities, hope to be like you some day.

Oh brother, looked cold when the snow came in, and wind. I know- just out when the first fall storm came in the other night.

I was going to say it looked like oilskin, then looked it up on Amazon- $289.00, Christ! expensive to say the least. 😆Remember the deerskin next time too, dog bed 👍And must say- hitting a Chickaree with an arrow, that's some shooting.

[@danielhall4787]

This is how I've always wanted to live. Off the land, away from today's problems, like money, Bill's, tax, phones, social media. All the things that we think are important, but really they aren't. I always felt like I'm not living the life or the way I want to live it. We're expected to do things in a certain order and if you don't then in people's eyes "you must be doing something wrong" because you don't have a wife or kids at a certain age.
