​@@dickfitswell3437 instead of being so cynical, maybe do the math. The chicken took 2 hours to cook, he didn't even burn through the first set of logs by that point. He has 6 logs (plus 2 smaller logs) on each side. The fire is said to have lasted 12 hours. It checks out. With a name like yours, one might wonder - what value do you bring to the lives of those around you? To your community? To this world?

*═══QUESTIONS ANSWERED═════* *1. What is your experience level* I consider myself advanced - of-course I don't know it all but have the following relevant skills which I draw upon. Professional Wilderness / Fly Fishing Guide, Affiliated with the survival show ALONE, Fulltime Firefighter, Expeditions into the Arctic Circle, Amazon Jungle, Cambodian Rainforest, and many more, Survived 15 days with no food - stranded in the Labrador Barrenlands, Professional Camping and outdoors gear maker. Consultant on famous survival book "THRIVE' by JP Quinonez, and many many more both random and professional skills. *2. Is there a risk of wildlife?* In Ontario, Canada, the large animals of concern are Black Bear, Wolves, and Moose. Bears are hibernating this time of year (generally speaking), so they are of no concern. Wolves (generally speaking) - avoid contact with humans. Moose are always concern especially a mother with young, however in this situation, being stationary, they would likely avoid me. *3. Are you alone? Who is filming?* Yes I am completely alone. I use a tripod and it's very time consuming to get all the angles necessary. But my aim is always to tell a cinematic and educational story, so I enjoy the extra time walking to and from my camera. *4. Did the fire REALLY last all night?* Yes! This was my first time trying this fire and I was surprised it was so successful. I did feed it with sticks passively throughout the night when I couldn't sleep. But only to keep it a bit warmer as it got far colder than I expected. I was surprised that my last log finished as the sun rose in the morning. I didn't get any footage of the time lapse of the logs rolling in unfortunately, as I had the camera put away throughout the night. But I am determined to make another video of this for you! *5. Do you ACTUALLY enjoy this?* I call this "Type 2 Fun". In the moment it's really hard work and requires all your energy both mentally and physically. In a nutshell, it's challenging. When I look back in my memories at it, I smile and know I have enjoyed the accomplishment as well as the experience. so YES! *6. What was in the pack?* In the pack was my change of clothes and overnight layers. These consisted of a Wool sweater, extra wool socks, a wool anorak, wool hat, wool pants, and mitts. *7. Where can I get the gear you use?* I'll have some links in my description to my general gear. I make a lot of the gear I use - of those the items I sell are the Collapsible Bucksaw, the Axe Mask with sharpener inside and foraging pouches. *8. Was the Log you camped under secure?* YES, it was 3/4 in the ground and would defy physics to move and crush me. I apologize for not being able to fully show this in the video.

I suggest hanging that toboggan on its side across the top of the shelter entrance to make an air pocket that helps keep the hot air inside the shelter. Same goes for that canvas bag that was on the toboggan. Heat will still radiate in from the fire below the toboggan, but the warmed air will stick around more. This would also help block a little wind if it picks up.

Im no survival expert, but i do know a thing or two about making the best out of less than ideal situations. First, since you had bad snow, use more spruce bows to line your lean-to frame to be able to hold that snow in place. There are clear gaps by time the morning rolled around. Second, your bedding was incredibly thin. Heat retention is all about layers of air and you can increase that with, again, using more spruce bows on and around your sleeping area. Finally, your camp LOOKS incredible, but practically, for a fire that small, it should be a good bit closer to you. Loved the video!
@TheBearEssentials
@TheBearEssentials Жыл бұрын
Hey ya, it’s hard to satisfy everyone for sure. Most people know the spruce bow method, I wanted to demonstrate reading the snow and diff options available. Also, spruce boughs insulate way less than snow. But you’re right about the thinness underneath me! However, it kept me warm enough, - I ran out of time while filming this so I had to just make do with what I had. With the fire that far away - it actually ended up being perfect because it melted the ground snow all the way to the edge of my bed by morning, and more and I would have rolled down a foot into the firepit I think. I really appreciate your take, you are correct in your analysis by the way!! Just hard to get it all conveyed in one vid with making it cinematic, teaching, enjoyable and accurate techniques etc.

I'm unsure of your personal opinions about not carrying too much gear, but it seems like you would benefit greatly from buying a sturdy collapsible shovel. Enlighten me, since in my opinion it seemed like trying to dig with your show shoe and the occasional tree limb proved to be exhaustive and not end up digging a lot of snow out.

Hey, I would 100% benefit from a shovel like that. This trip I only took a few pieces of gear just to test what I could do with it, I’m not against bringing more at all!

limb on the far side of the log, too, further increasing your safety. I dont bother with an axe or hatchet, cause the Cold steel shovel is so much more versatile. I DO, however, have it set up take down and reassemble without tools and my modified Crunch multitool has a blade for making the mounting holes in those other handles. The shovels' handle is modified into an oval cross section, like a real hatchet, so that my blows are much more accurate and I have much less stress on my hands, wrists and forearms. I use the vise grip of the Crunch to hold one of 3 different types of saw blades. It's very easy to break or bend the hell out of a saw blade, folks and it's annoying/time wasting to have one with too coarse or too fine teeth for the job at-hand. The weight I save by not having a folding saw is better-used in having the other saw blades. I used water jug plastic and Gorilla tape to make the sheath for the spare saw blades and those materials are a huge help with starting an emergency fire, if need be. I' always carry more tape and bark and cordage will make good enough of a temporary sheath for the saw blades.

The self-feeding fire is such an amazingly clever thing to do. I'm a little concerned how the small wood branches holding it up don't catch on fire and just dump the logs onto the ground before they roll forward. Apparently it works though. I love that people make this sort of content available for anyone who may find themselves stranded or lost and could possibly use some of the survival techniques they'd seen.

You’re awesome Anastasia, thx for this nice comment. The fire only burned fairly small, and if you get the right angle, it stays contained to in between the two middle logs, and doesn’t run up and burn everything. If the angle is too steep, it will happen!

What if you added spruce boughs as a second layer on the wall of the leanto, then the loose snow? I wonder if gathering the boughs would be less strenuous than excavating packed snow. Great videos by the way, I'm truly enjoying your content. Cheers from another Ontario resident!

Hey Steve, that’s a great idea, the spruce bows took a long time to gather surprisingly.. but would likely have saved a bit of calories. I think your idea may have worked decently. Though the boughs don’t provide much insulation, they may have held the loose snow a bit better

melt some snow and use the water to dampen the dry-powder snow or get some water from a nearby creek.

Great video but I have two questions: (1) What keeps the angled guide poles from burning up? (2) Why not put a few rough cut pine boughs at the back of your shelter before piling the snow on? Seems like even the bad snow might have worked
