Bird Wanders into Camp During Survival Challenge Ep14

In this episode we turn a grouse that happens to wander right into camp, into a wild meal. I will show you how we purify our water, and some more camp life. I show more about what we are eating on a daily basis in order to survive long term in the wild. Fresh caught wild meal with mushrooms. We finish off our wild meal with some catfish.

We weight-in and weigh-out and if we lose any body mass at all, we have FAILED the challenge!
Unlike Naked and Afraid, ALONE, or Survivorman, there is no limit to the tools we are allowed to use on this survival challenge. Living off just WILD foods is harder than you think! If it's legal, it's fair use. Sometime we even do some bushcraft, but the main focus is really on eating wild foods, wild edibles and catching and cooking various foods.
This isn't about just surviving, this is about thriving!
Season 4: Takes place with vast opens seasons including fish, catfish, pike, trout, birds such as grouse, duck, and geese, bear, deer, and moose. Also wild apples, mushrooms, berries, and so much more. We make use of all the resources in this challenge to meet the demands for calories imposed by the human body!

The only way that grouse could of been more of a gift is if it was walking through camp rubbing itself down with Woodobo Spice. Enjoy the feed guys.

[@captainggttv3243]

I have always wanted to get a grouse there rare here in Pennsylvania lots of them in Canada according to my research but me and my friend just found a spot for grouse we kicked one up when driving up for shooting and we were in car so couldn’t get it but then we went again with a shot gun and we got out the car and walked about 50 yards and kicked one up and my friend shot it then he went back with his dad and found 9 more grouse wasn’t hunting for them tho they were just there so I’m gonna go up there with him and bag one or two eat one and mount one hopefully it works out

good easy meal with the grouse .the cat fish look delicious .I too am educating myself on mushrooms .I missed out on my fall bear hunt this year but looking forward for our spring hunt.i live in the country ,we have a good population of bear allowing 2 bear a year .keep up the good videos

Nice use of chopsticks Zach. That kind of stew is perfect for chopsticks

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Love how Zach Pops up with a camera in the intro grouse shot cant get closer to camp than that, Nice shot. I have an awesome Adirondack Grouse Hunt by calling them in, you should try that technique it really works and is awesome. Love seeing the Smooth Chanterelles very nice touch to a meal. guys are living like a king out there, such a great channel. I think you guys actually put on 3-8 lbs. nice job

[@timgozd]

I like that you enjoy what you shot then and there, you’re probably hungry there but you totally respect the land and understand people have been doing this longer than ive been around, i wish i could send you seasoning! Imagine peking grouse?!

[@alecmccray9620]

This feels like a school class I’m actually interested in. Thanks for the vids keep it up!

[@MsNikkieMichelle]

Hard call. With all the bear fat and high calories you both consumed, I’d assume you both either maintained or gained some. But, you both also burnt a lot of calories as well. I’m going to say ...hmm.. maintained. Nice shot on the bird also. When opportunity arises, and Mother Nature provides it’s almost an insult to pass and decline. I can’t wait for more of these challenges in the future. Keep them coming! :)

[@thatdude5104]

Maybe you can do a video together with Jeremy where he tells how to recognize certain types of mushrooms, what you want to look at before gathering it for eating and stuff like that.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

We did film one, coming up!

Just tell Chris what you want, and its already there ;D

[@alexhooijschuur5131]

Always loved your channel, and the production quality is impressive. Keep it up. Would love to see a primitive survival challange at some point too, with an emphasis on not just wild foods but self-created tools made in nature, perhaps with an additional focus on self-sufficiancy and isolation. Realistic? Perhaps not, but if someone were to do it, it would be the Wooded Beardsman!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

It would be next to impossible to maintain weight doing that...I just feel that enough show has already tried and failed that one.

[@deanmacka4975]

Last day wow you guys have still got a hole Lotta eating to do before you run out of food, I think you two need worming. Cool vid guys have a great Christmas and a Happy New year

[@aeoneternal5193]

hey woodbeard you guys are doing great this time in previous seasons you visibly lost weight on the way. This time you stil look roughly the same weight, i hope the series does continue on after season 4. i live in australia so i am a little envious of the weather(climate/temperature and lack of mosquito's :) ) you guys have to be able to preserve your foods, the temperature here in AUS, atm is probably a little shy of what you went through in season 3 have a merry christmas(if you celebrate) or happy holidays if you dont. and please keep these series coming i enjoy them thoroughly

[@Well_I_am_just_saying]

[@zoopa9988]

I like how you can make a beter meal in the wild then I can do in the kitchen with products from the store XD

[@coondogsoutdooradventures2484]

I'm guessing Zac , because he had salt, a lower metabolism , and in ketosis already lost 3.5 lb in 7 days because of change of environment and a slight change in diet. You lost 8 pounds for the change in diet . Less salt to maintain water weight. Though you were keeping you sugars up not enough of the domestic carbs in the western diet. If you both continued this for weeks you would have stabilized. Not enough time to change and then stabilize.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Thanks for the guess! Let's see what shakes out.

Hard to say :-) work n eat, shift hunt eat lots of go go action, it's hard to stack weight when you are working it off. I've watched it all from the pre gathering, you really deserve the gain but I don't think it will be big :-) apples n bear fat maybe you'll be ahead of Zach you both look great, fit n healthy. Great searies

[@AmazingAutist]

Okay but how is the bird stupid? In what way was it supposed to know that this was a campsite or dangerous area?

[@yyguuyg]

Hey man, I love your videos, lots of good info here. Can I make one suggestion about your titles? I don't think you need the clickbaity ALL CAPS with exclamation points titles to get people's attention. In fact, in my opinion, it just makes them appear less professional, which is definitely not the case. Just my two cents. Keep up the great work!

[@jimmartin3833]

Y'all got to eat a lot of wild nut's to gain weight mon! 😊😂

[@Aaron92534]

I think its possible you guys lost just a little weight, even in spite of your successful and skilled food gathering. If so, some reasons may be inherent lack of sleep quality, the constant hard work load ( I could start specifying the complex work load but that would take to long) bottom line is many miles of foot movement for various reasons, including filming which is arduous in such conditions. Also not much snacking calories, bread and carbs, etc. Not to mention some unique stress and adrenaline, emotions in such conditions. All these factors were outside of the conventional modern lifestyle, and your body may have used more energy than expected to adapt to this, even with your vast experience. I could very well be wrong, either way you guys are WINNERS.

[@Aaron92534]

The Grouse is indeed a beautiful designed bird. An abundant and historical food source. This Grouse clearly did not suffer with that shot. One second conscience, the next second non existent, and didn't even feel the transition to care. Clean hunt.

[@Aaron92534]

Both you and Zach appear to be thriving, but both of your faces got a little thinner coming up to the end of this challenge. That's normal under the circumstances, and you both look strong and healthy, but that's why I suspect that you may have lost from 2- 5 LBS.

[@Aaron92534]

So I'm gonna guess that you Beardsman lost 2 LBS, and Zach lost 4 LBS...mostly water weight.

[@Aaron92534]

Just read a comment below about a light work load. This makes sense since you weren't building shelters, canoeing/portaging distance movement, but still a lot of work nonetheless.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

You're right, just the filming alone is like a daily marathon, each movement needs to be done twice. It's very underestimated by most people.

[@patrickpeterson11]

Full Stop. Amazing view at 5:43.

[@ianb2400]

4:17 did you just sniff the grouse butt lol??? Love ya wooded beardsman!!!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

lol

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

i would have to guess that since the work load was low and the fat and food content was high, no reason not to actually gain weight. If you were canoeing and portaging and building shelters daily, then i could see working off the fats. So my guess is: Chris: +3.5 lbs Zack: +1.5 lbs Look forward to the weigh in!

I've been wondering something since you've been eating all the apples and I'm sorry if it's already been answered but why do you peel the skins? I know you were saying apples didn't agree with you until this challenge and I was wondering if that's the reason or if it's just easier to down more apples if they're all peeled. I personally like apple skin but HATE that it gets so easily stuck in my teeth.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Many of them were rotten or rotting so when I peeled I could check for worms and rot. Also didn't want to eat a LOT of fiber which would gas me up in combo with the excess fats.
