Another great one. Liked the fact that you showed your tarp design flaw.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Learned from that mistake, at least when raining or chance of rain. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@OndaBoosters]

[@SurvivalTheory]

Thank you for watching and commenting! I very much enjoyed that experience.. Very beautiful area.

[@pixaxeprepper384]

I enjoy dispersed camping in our national parks. Great video as usual.

[@garyminick1050]

I didn't know you was an Arky . Me too

[@garyminick1050]

You might try camping on the north side of Dry Creek Mountain, it borders a wilderness area and overlooks Blue Mountain reservoir and Mt Magazine. You might run across me ever once in a while or my old buddy Archie. He'll talk your head off but he is a wizard on Mountain life . You will never be bored with his information.

[@SurvivalTheory]

I jump around a lot to do camping and hiking. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@garyminick1050]

@Colin Killian is this something new ? I have always carried consealed there.

[@redfaux74]

He's from TX.

[@PooDotStinkPants]

[@SurvivalTheory]

Thanks for the watch and words!

[@brandoncooper4680]

Hey man, I just discovered your videos. I live down in Lonoke County. Heading out to Ouachita tomorrow. If you need a hiking buddy, give me a shout.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Brenjen67]

I thought the same thing, Arkie here too.

[@redfaux74]

Take a number and get in line guys....

[@sarahpride5556]

Ouachita Mtns. My home. Rugged, rocky, and tick infested.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@SurvivalTheory]

...and I'm here again, maybe different trail this time.

[@retepish]

You forgot also every snake found in the US.

[@Brenjen67]

You can say that again, the ticks in Arkansas are so numerous it's difficult to go out if it's not winter time.

[@joybickerstaff194]

Hello, Beautiful hike,! Awesome rocks to! Love the creek and surroundings, how can I not, plane and simple, I love nature and all she has to offer. I typed n Oklahoma dispersed camping and found ur channel, I’m a bit confused, the map said Joplin, is this park not is S E Oklahoma??? I enjoy your hike very much, thanks for letting me tag along. Liked, subscribed and tapped that bell. Thank u

[@SurvivalTheory]

This section of forest is actually in Arkansas if I remember correctly. Thanks for the view and comment!

[@grampawterry8957]

good one brother .. I liked and shared it

[@SurvivalTheory]

Thank you! That was a fun trip to a beautiful area.

[@justinbarnes5498]

Did you get any return wood knocks at o'dark:30 when splitting that wood? Was waiting to hear a faint knock in the distance from one of the resident Sasquatches LOL. Really enjoyed the video. Always seems like the prettiest days precede a night of storms. Keep the great work of videos coming!

[@SurvivalTheory]

That was my first video I think. Another viewer said there was a bear in one scene. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Pugfamily-uf3mr]

Very beautiful area me and my wife love to hike Indiana state forest, we love to just be out in nature where you can be free of the burden of life

[@SurvivalTheory]

I'm going back there again when I have the chance!

[@humanmenot7080]

Good video except for that is not how you abandon your fire pit. You have to dig down and dig up the soil under the coals of your fire pit and drench it with water until the soil is of a muddy consistency. This is in case that there are some tree or grass roots that may be burning. And a good tip for setting up your fire pit before starting a fire is using a thick wide flat rock, or use many rocks to have you fire on top of so that when you leave your camp you don't need to dig up the soil and drench it with water as the ground underneath your fire pit will be protected by the rock

[@CM-ve1bz]

Human Menot Putting rocks underneath the fire is a good idea, but the problem in that area is most of them will probably explode when they get hot.

[@Brenjen67]

Hard clay soil and rock in Ouachita. Just about anywhere in Arkansas really and if it just rained lol, no worries. We have more tourists washed away in flash floods than forest fires.

[@redfaux74]

Never heard of that nonsense.

[@brendashelton6972]

Watched and enjoyed your video. You put up a video about your 72 hr get home bag also. I have had a baca Laplander folding saw, but decided to replace it with a Silky Professional Series BIGBOY 2000. Best saw I ever had. Even use it around the home trimming fairly large limbs. It sure does save a lot of work. Try one out.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@garyminick1050]

Yes ,Silky saws save much time and energy !

[@JBOutdoorsAndMore]

Amazing job on the video. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful area. Also love your editing skills and what you did with your channel. You have my subscription would love to have your support as well. Thanks again ATB Joe 😎 👊🏻

[@irishwanderer4206]

the ol big logs would kill you with the laplander

[@SurvivalTheory]

Thanks for the view and comment!

[@irishwanderer4206]

[@SurvivalTheory]

Thanks for the view and another comment!

[@user-su9xc2ff4o]

I hunt the elusive haggis in the highlands of scotland

[@SurvivalTheory]

Dangerous... Thanks for the view and comment!

[@trynsurviven2440]

Happy to know that bear staring at you when you panned the camera didn't follow you to camp;-)

[@SurvivalTheory]

What the heck? What is the timestamp? I ain't saw no bear!

[@NoTrail]

So, the theory here is to survive and disperse something all around the campsite? I don't see how you can stay dry in a tarp setup so open like that. Glad you survived though.

[@SurvivalTheory]

I stayed dry, but it the rain did tilt in enough to get the edge of my bed wet. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@idontcare1762]

What was your childhood like?

[@redfaux74]

Younger... and obviously full of DnD, Star Wars....

[@vvogt4252]

Great Video. Don't let them Squatches take your Ovaltine. I know they like tasty treats. Be safe.

[@SurvivalTheory]

You know it! Thanks for the view and comment!

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Nice adventure however your camera skills needs work and try using a tripod; rig one up buhcraft style if necessary. Several times I had to turn my eyes away. Beautiful scenery.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Yes, I wasn't used to filming, and I had to dub over much of it. Didn't bring a tripod. The only stable shots are when I propped the camera on logs, etc.. Live and learn. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@redfaux74]

Great start to your channel. We learn as we go at everything. I liked your first video! 🎈🥳🎈

[@PoopShitMario]

Was this in winter?

[@SurvivalTheory]

End of April. Thanks for the view and comment!

[@Brenjen67]

Dogwoods say spring. I don't like 100% humidity and 100°+ temperatures, chiggers, seed ticks, deer ticks, mosquitoes and biting flies with the occasional poisonous snakes so I like to hike and camp in the winter. Arkansas winters only get lower than the teens here and there, none of that other stuff is a problem and the water hasn't dried up yet. Which those creeks are bad about doing in the summer.

[@johnnysisk9494]

May be just one lucky fool but never batoned a single piece of wood for my fires be it in the desert, Okla. N.C. or anywhere yet so many folks here on You Tube want to beat their knives up.

[@SurvivalTheory]

I generally only baton for accessing a dry interior if everything is wet. When it comes to batoning, I would rather not. My general rule is: Except for emergencies, never use knife for....batoning, touching dirt, throwing, or prying. Thank you for watching and commenting!
