Green Beret Winter Survival

Here is a nice reminder that in winter, every little twig counts and seems precious to us. Thank you for these pictures, I am so looking forward to winter. Greetings from Quebec.

Thank you!

That's a great anorak.

Agree! If one can sew…Door Mill sells nice domestic wool. (It needs to be washed to felt tight.) Looks like dark colored lined. Reversible? The banding can be handmade, tablet woven which is fun. Banding is buyable too. Be a neat project from fleece, hand spun & woven.^^

I have Lester River under this canvas shell anorak, matter of fact

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

Thanks! I made it a few years ago now. I’ve since added a coyote fur ruff to the hood

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret I love my anorak but have used an ‘80s gortex military parka shell in woodland camo. What you made looks so cool 😎

Always be scavenging on the way to find shelter. Even with really good tinder wich is tough to find sometimes. It's still super tough to get it going with a ferro rod when it's down well below 0°F. I had an incident last winter. Woods I've camped in probably 5 times. Usually in different backwoods spots... but I wanted to get to one area in paticular. Required water crossing. I fell in. It was 15°F late afternoon getting colder. And fading light. Problems cascaded with onset of hypothermia. Dropped pack to scout for a spot to set up... thought I went maybe 100 yards. Couldn't find pack... had to sit down and gather myself before things got worse. But thanks to many trips camping with minimal gear (25lbs) for 5 to 7 day stay... in winter. Everything turned out okay. But. Let's just say I'm happy I always keep spare lighters with me. Cause winter fire starting is much more difficult than you may assume if you've never tried it with flint/steel or a ferro rod.

Perfect for the day in it.

Who made your anorak?

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

I made it.

[@mwinvictus9672]

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret Looks great. I’ve just begun learning the traditional process of fur sewing. Currently working on a pair of beaver mittens and a red fox hat. Once i’m finished with those, I’d like to make an anorak similar to yours. I’m a dog musher in Alaska and live off-grid, so it’s something I’d be wearing a lot. I enjoy your videos. You have practical advice and present it simply.

[@alvindueck2104]

Hey, hold on a minute. That's not how you've been teaching us to strike a ferro rod

[@coachwendy5618]

That's one of several ways that GB2 uses.

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]
