50 Survival Tips - Food | Fire | Shelter | Water - Wilderness knowledge you should know

[@claub.4515]

Yes, yes. I would love a video of fire lighting tips! Thank you for your work!

[@Finn-mp8pk]

Yes please!!!

[@alfietemperton4266]

👍

[@ChosenOne214tx]

please do, thanks in advance

[@ToyoteroMundial]

Me too.

[@maggiemoonpie2168]

Sure I could use it. And I didn't know there were choices in fire starters like fungi or pine sap- thanks and be blessed, you're doing God's work

[@gurglejug627]

Hi Mate - I've been into survival for years - used the skills from all over Europe to the Arctic, Siberia and much of Russia and the Mongolian steppe to the Sahara and Ghobi deserts and the jungles of southern China - and there's always something new to learn. I must say I learned a few things from this video of yours, too. Thanks... and keep them coming - well presented, sharply done and good knowledge. If you don't mind me adding, natural pine tar (pitch) can be got from felled pine stubs and their roots- they often fill up with tar to become fatwood and can get really heavy, soaked with it. Or even better - take some fatwood, split it into thin pieces and place them in a metal container with a hole or spout/tap in the bottom - plug the top with mud etc if no lid - heat them on a fire so that they are heated in a deficit of air and so can't burn - make a runnel out of a split branch etc for what comes out - you will see tar ooze out after some time - such that you can catch it in a container. This is less brittle than the older oxidised tar/sap on the surface of the pines and can be hardened by heating further or mixing with surface sap and/or charcoal.

[@Objective-Observer]

That was an awesome overview! A detailed Fire starting vid, AND a Water Vid would be valuable additions. Such as collecting water, finding water, the different filters you recommend, and detailed numbers on boiling, or pasturizing your water. Foraging: that would be phenomenal- but as you said, everyone's local flora would be wildly different. Unless, you find videos from other channels for various parts of the world. Honestly, I think gathering all of your Cooking Techniques into one vid would be another valuable addition to your channel.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thats a great suggestion 👌🏻 Thanks 👍

[@jennifereyen3812]

Watching Amber helping you to dig was priceless! Love your tips, your cooking, and your pup!

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@samuellundblad5766]

This is by far the mist useful bushcrafting channel I've seen because I get such specific information about things that are actually acailable to me. Thank you.

[@xavierbreath2227]

Thanks! Your channel has taught me so much.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

👍😀Thanks Xavier 👊 🙏

[@voiceoftheclan8087]

Yes Dustin I would like to see a dedicated video of fire starting.

[@nanasupriyatna15]

There are so many types of plants, when you first meet a new plant during survival, how do we know of the plant is poisonous or not to eat?

[@robynmarler3839]

You have to identify them.

[@Maximus_Butthurticus]

There are military survival manuals devoted to this exact subject. Since a downed airman is likely going to be in a strange climate, it explains ways of testing for potability. It involves what I consider risky behavior but if it's between living and starving...chose life. I repeat, RISKY as it involves placing a small amount of material in the side of your mouth and evaluating taste and physiological reaction, then not repeating the test for 24 hours.

[@worm_vaquero]

There are many, so much so I avoid any that have a poisonous lookalike, mistakes come easy, recovery, not so much

[@Tmaxar]

The best and most tried and tested method is to eat the plant. If you are still alive seven days later, it’s edible. If you are dead, it’s poisonous and needs to be avoided.

[@amerisartanimation]

Heya, long time forager here! It takes a LOT of practice. It’s one of those things that you need to learn multiple times. There are so many kinds of plants! When I first started, I learned tell-take signs that a plant is poisonous first, then went to focus on individual species. Try going to your local library or reading through online forums! Foraging is lots of fun, even if you don’t do it often or you reserve it as a last minute survival skill. I wish you luck learning, and if you have any questions I’d be happy to answer.

[@suzannes5888]

I found your videos a couple of months ago and am obsessed! You have mad skills - and are an excellent teacher... and YES, a detailed video on fire making, and the best rocks and trees to use, would be awesome. If it's in your wheel house, it would be great if you could also include tips that reference some of the trees/plants and rocks that are indigenous to tropical and/or hot arid climates.

[@loganfullerton5751]

Great video Dustin. I would love to see individual videos on fire lighting, water purification and more scavenging for mushrooms. You should come to the USA sometime. There's lots to see and learn here in West Virginia. Beautiful camping and fishing.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks Logan👊

[@1dayUllC]

And about finding, identifying edible plants, trees, etc.

[@Azelethros_OG]

Superb tips and knowledge. You and TA Outdoors have been an excellent research for me as I am planning for an off-grid bushcraft survival camp with my wife. These tips are going to truly help bring my dreams to fruition. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for sharing your wisdom!

[@eriktaylor5704]

I am a fan of your instructional videos. Your mad cooking skills have encouraged me to be more adventurous with my food selection and preparation when camping. I would love to see more videos on fire prep and fire starting.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks Erik....more cooking and fire videos coming soon 👊

[@karennewbury6430]

This was very interesting! I appreciate the details you offer, and your calm, direct approach to bush craft skills. I'll be following along for more adventures.

Pine Root Cordage I've heard "natural cordage" a thousand times but didn't have much luck w/ most vines. Thank you for naming (and showing) a source of the elusive Natural Cordage! Sub-Scribed!

[@michaelb.42112]

This video is packed with useful information that was easily conveyed. I like the little sayings like stay away from flat pine needles, look up not down when looking for dead wood, and so on. Easy to remember like all the sayings we heard as a kid about snakes like red next to yellow, etc.

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thank you Dustin for this complete compilation of survival techniques. 👍😁

[@glacousxx]

I just found out that pine might be my favorite tree i love the scent as well. Wonderful video.

This Is a great video and well detailed! 👏 The world needs this kind of knowledge. 90% of Americans couldn't survive without the fragile structures of our society that we so conveniently rely on.

[@paulanderson2464]

Terrific base of knowlege. I've recently started watching shows of Alone on TV. One contestant left due to mishandling of a hatchet. All really good points. Wondering what you might have up your sleeve in the form of winter survival.

[@strawman3059]

The black glue can also be used to fix arrow heads using flint and strong plant fibres, just need a bow to go with it!

Thank you for a great video. I'd like to mention cedarwood can cause a very severe allergic reaction. ( i nearly died/ anaphylaxis after exposure to cedarwood incense), and quite annoyingly, cedarwood furniture ! So always carry antihistamines, just one little pill can halt the onset of a reaction, before further injections at A&E etc would be needed. 🌿

[@nabilm3ak502]

Peace be upon you, your brother from Morocco🇲🇦❤️. I want to say we ask God for safety in this world and the hereafter. Indeed, it may be events such as drowning, fire, earthquake, snowfall, sleeping in forests, remote places, and other natural quarts. Therefore, we must educate children and young people on the way to escape from every predicament, such as sports, swimming, cooking, hunting, heating with wood, and building a house to enter in case of emergency, all of this for the sake of survival. Thank you.
