Alan lives! I miss that dude and WOW! What an impressive beard!

[@EdcGuru03]

Haven’t even watched the video yet, but I really dig this direction of Survival Dispatch. These two make a awesome combination to share knowledge on this platform. Thank you.

[@virtualtreadmillwalknature1488]

Amazing thanks for sharing! 🇺🇸❤️

[@98xj64]

Seems like everyone likes when you two team up, need more outdoor videos like these

[@captainburdock2220]

Hello, Alan!

[@RealityCheckGA]

Alan set the bar high for all Alone Contestants

[@3nertia]

I'm a simple man, I see Alan Kay in the thumbnail and *I click*! These guys are two of my favorite teachers :)

[@joegibson8252]

You guys are so funny. We need more humor in our lives especially now. I think I could build a mattress and stay up off the ground after watching this video. Thanks for that!

[@titanpreparedness]

Great advice im suprised how many people dont know this. One layer on bottom is worth 2 on top

[@wyldewest278]

That’s a good concept! Glad to be seeing Alan in more vids! 💪🏻

[@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem]

i like the 55 gallon trash bag full of leaves mattresses. any time im in the woods i always have 3 trash bags, 2 for a mattress and an extra for whatever else i might need it for.

[@Jaden48108]

Covered all the basics of staying off the ground and being comfortable using minimal gear. Normally a browse bed filled with duff would be my first choice, but this is a more than acceptable alternative. Good vid.

[@reginaschmid2657]

That is definitely useful knowledge! Great tool for one’s mental toolbox!! Please create more video like this!!!

[@chrisandcassieland2229]

Alan is my hero just bought one of his kukaris

[@r188ops8]

Great tip fellas, did this one on a cadre course in Germany dressed in a bin bag, keep smiling.......Paul 👍🏻

[@MrGlobalTransport]

I’ve slept on higher raised beds here in FL and never knew I could use this technique in the cold/snow (meaning low, untied/unsupported and with the branches placed on top). That’s a great system for a quick insulator/bed with less recourses and less energy expended. Awesome video gentlemen, thanks!

[@MrGlobalTransport]

And I’m getting geared up for a winter survival class in Maine (Joel Graves & Joshua Enyart), so I’m binging KZbin videos on related topics hahaha

[@tessoxford5074]

Love this. I teach the homeless some skills as part of my outreach program. This is different from what I know great information. Ty

[@j.jonahjameson3025]

Great vid! I always know to insulate myself from the ground with duff/leaves/etc, but I’ve never thought of making a quick wood frame like that. No cordage or wasted resources

I watched that show Alan (ALONE) with you winning if I’m not mistaken! I wish I had a friend like you, we would get alone great! Watched most of the videos and thank you guys for what you do! ✌🏽

[@thymenabottle2515]

Outstanding job, guys!!

[@robertbates6057]

Great video!

[@T1an1s]

Love these guys :D

[@stijn2472]

Seems like a great idea!

[@fatbeard8072]

Love these types of videos. Helps refresh one's mind and think of new ideas when one doesn't get to do what you guys do all the time. Reminds me of camping using the foam connect squares you see in pre schools. Use those for the ground in side the tent, then either sleep on that or have multiple blankets for cushion.

[@blueridgerealtor]

It looks so cozy!

[@josephreisinger33]

Great info gentlemen. At this time in our lives, we need to laugh. At the start of the video you guys we're funny. But the subject is very serious. Thank you, take care and ⌚ ur 6......

[@mikeviard8195]

Yes.

[@leesonoutdoors]

This is a very cool set up I do something kinda sorta like this but this is much better I think

[@MasterK9Trainer]

Not that this is hard to do, but if people got over the stigma of carrying a small kit or a few items they could do this and make a mattress or sleeping bag with a couple of large trash bags. A wire saw or a multitool is nothing to carry as they're small and weight very little. I agree with the idea that everyone should carry a folding knife and a few items on their person all the time. Even a fanny pack or similar sized bag or pouch can carry a lot of survival gear and supplies.

[@markzea226]

I carry a knife and lighter with me always

[@erictillotson4963]

Great video, good to see you back in a video. Question, what do you do for ticks when in the woods? How did you not get ticks on you in this video? Ticks are crazy in upstate NY and the Lyme disease the sprays don't seem to work

[@PabloP169]

It is great to see Alan back on again, as he has such great info. When was this filmed?

[@Plastikdoom]

But yeah, love your guy’s vids, I like SD before, even better now.

[@stuartsteele9984]

Good solution for problem with compressing leaves. However, wouldn't it be better if you layed leaves between the long limbs prior to adding the cross limbs?

[@valqueenofValhalla]

You should do a punji pit video dead drop foot trap. And figure four latch release mechanism video for those you don’t know. The woods can be a deadly place with proper training and skills

[@bobswoodlandadventures5722]

Awesome video. I see that when you cut saplings you cut right to the ground and cover the cut up with leaves. That’s what I do as well so it won’t be noticed that a tree has been cut. 4PATRIOTS sent me their Staples of Survival survival tin kit for me to do a review on. I did a review on it and now I’ll be doing a video on building a survival shelter and fire with the wire saw, multi tool and fire steel. Thanks for sharing.

[@garycruz5910]

Hey there, didn't kn J^3 was french

[@concretecowboy4212]

Thnxs

[@stijn2472]

Great video! I do have some questions. How long did it take to build (including cutting down trees) and would you also build some kind of roof over it in a survival situation?

[@ONThree]

Depending on materials, you can expect about an hour. You would absolutely want some cover over you as well. Thanks for watching!

[@Plastikdoom]

And oh yeah, laying on the ground, sucks. Have to do it a lot for work, doing installs of equipment on dairy farms. Even worse, winter time, it’s on concrete, usually wet too. So yeah that’s always fun. Gotta love wool blend long Johns.

[@Plastikdoom]

Ahaha, yeah, sleeping in mud puddles is fun, damn fighting holes during fall, with a lot of rain. Can’t make a big enough sump and what not, by hand for a 2 man fighting hole. Good times right there.

[@bettercallspotti]

i like to know what kind of rubber boots u guys waering

[@lisapegg5459]

Do you have a video on the best indoor propane heater that you recommend? If you lose power?

[@chrish8818]

I have a dual tank Mr heater buddy heater w adapter to hook to larger tanks. It works really good. Only thing w propane it gives off some moisture

[@EOG-xl1le]

Hope you guys had fun camping. Did you snuggle in the leaves?

[@ONThree]

Unfortunately no. Alan and I could not come to an agreement on who gets to be the big spoon. Thanks for watching!

[@bamabushcrafter5181]

Just out of curiosity, have I missed something? Does anyone know what happened to Mr. Alan Kay?? I haven't seen him on here or on OnThree.
