Solid survival instincts ...

[@randybrown140]

As a kid I use to creep out my friends when we played war, down on our creek. As a 19D in the Army I still creeped out my fellow soldiers. I always heard "HOW DID YOU DO THAT". from both groups, " I WAS A GHOST". At my age now I'm lucky not to trip over my own feet. Such is life. 👍

When I was a kid my mom would tell me to "stop stomping! You sound like an elephant!" So I figured out how to walk quietly. Nowadays I often startle her because she can't hear me walk up to her.

Patience is the hardest thing... I read one time about a subsistence hunter who carried a partial tic tac box in his pocket. If he could hear the tic tacs he knew he was moving too fast.

[@slappy8941]

You can still make too much noise even if you're moving too slowly to rattle the tic-tacs.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

This subject brings up memories (some fondly and some not so much). Here is a drill that I learned from Vietnam Rangers and LRPPs veterans that we had to master. It took practice, but we did it until we were very efficient. It is also terrain specific to the area of operations; One person (the sentry) is sitting down blindfolded; Remainder of team/group (the stalkers) are spread out in circle +20 yards away. The sentry uses their sense of hearing to locate stalkers, if heard they point at the stalkers and the stalkers are to sit in place. The goal is whoever can stalk up to and touch the sentry without getting caught "wins". This is a great training tool and fun for Boy Scouts as well; but is valuable for more serious and consequential operations (if you get my drift). As a side note, shoes/boots with hard soles are better either not worn or covered with thick socks (moccasins are very affective in being quiet).

[@STOKERMATIC]

Great way to practice!

[@nim3186]

My father was a Vietnam Ranger and taught us children this skill and few others like swimming without making ripples and walking without making any sound (key take shoes off), memorization of terrain, roads, landmarks to created a mental map and compass and many other skills that have been priceless in several situations. I taught my kids all the same skills and hope they pass it along to their children! ❤ their favorite was the sneaking up games!

[@Artorias001]

I remember playing this game at camp when I was a kid. The added challenge was we had to lift a keyring full of keys above our head that was placed right in front of the sentry

[@nim3186]

@stephandeschenes if you are in a body of water (dictch/pond/river/lake) and the enemy is on the shore you need to be able to move through the water without giving your position away! Only achievable with a lot of practice and technology you will make ripples! Is more about controlling your fear by controlling your body! Don’t let panic set in..

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

Plan your path, both near and far. A lot of times, slower is faster. Be light on your feet and learn how to shift your weight as you move over obstacles, but be ready to hold yourself up on one foot as your maneuver around an object on the ground that if stepped on or brushed up against would give your location away. If you don't have to move during the day, move during the early morning when leaves and grass are damp from dew. My dad was in Vietnam and thought me a lot about stalking (now used for stalking when hunting) and getting around undetected.

[@johnstevenson9429]

When I was training for the SWAT team I was given a tip to minimize the sound of footsteps. Step on the outside edge of your foot then roll your foot inboard. This seems to work well on all surfaces inside and out

[@nim3186]

That’s very gonna advice!!

[@patrickphillips7438]

I practiced fox walking for years. I snuck up on a 7 point snoozing behind a downed tree, and another time a gray owl sleeping on a low tree limg. I touched its tail feathers before it flew off.

[@mervmartin2112]

Right on point! One thing I'd add. Break cadence. Just as deer have a cadence, so do people. The birds will spot you and most likely be quiet. If the birds get quiet, there needs to be noise to justify that. Not a loud or scary one, and not a human cadence either. (Silence makes critters very alert.)

Check the Tom Smith study on bear bells. He found that bears don't care a hoot about bell noises, but will instantly focus on a snapped pencil sound. So you are right. The sound of a large creature snapping twigs is a big alarm.

[@argonaught5666]

You know how to tell the difference between black bear poop and grizzly poop? Black bear poop is a little smaller and has grass and berries in it. Grizzly poop is bigger, has little bells in it and smells like pepper spray.

[@STOKERMATIC]

🙏👊🥃

[@argonaught5666]

Good content. Many don't realize that, as with many seemingly mundane tasks, being quiet and stealthy in the woods is an art. This may get a little windy. Speaking of wind, any time you have wind you can generally use it to your advantage. Granted, sometimes it whirls and makes your job tough when it comes to animals! But when it's steady it is a great asset to cover noise and scent. Also ridges. When I was a very young man I was determined to be as good an Elk hunter as anyone in my area. I succeeded. I see these videos of hunters using freaking sniper rifles to kill Elk a mile away and think, you call yourself a hunter? I would guess that 80% of the bulls I bagged were either in their bed or just stood up. And it was a lot. Back to ridges. In my area there are many sharp ridges that may be 50 yards across the top. Knowing Elk often bed 100-200 yards below a Ridgeline, I would jump to the other side when I saw sign that they were fixing to bed down and only pop over every few hundred yards to take a little gander down on to the slope they were going to bed on. And then I was like a contortionist! Totally conscious of where my rifle barrel was, where my jacket might brush a limb, what am I stepping on? How to set your foot down. It takes a lot of patience but when your thinking, this Bull is right here somewhere, bedded down, and I got all day to get to him, you learn how to be quiet! It is definitely an art.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Outstanding man. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@SparkleDonkey]

Sorry, i'm late to this party but this is just such an excellent video and you covered so many great tips. I bow hunt whitetails with a stickbow and wooden arrows in Alberta from the ground which is stupid I know because it's virtually impossible. Sometimes I move only 4km in an entire day so your tip about going slow is bang on. I take one step, follow with my trailing leg, then I stop and do a slow 360 moving eyes only, not head until I know there's nothing there. Choice of footwear is critical. Until it get's below -15 with snow I use LL Bean Main Hunting boots because I can feel the stick underfoot and move my foot off before I break it. All my clothing is muted colours (not crazy about camo) but soft so as to deflect branches and not make a grinding fabric noise. I put all my hunting clothes in a cardboard box with dirt, sticks and leaves so I lose the human scent as much as possible... But ya, more times then not I'm busted by a broken branch and it's usually a savvy doe who snort wheezes and everyone buggers off. Good times though. Sub'd

[@randallgervell7663]

I’ve been hunting for over 35 years and have learned to stalk and move slowly, quietly and looking, listening and smelling what’s around you! Then over twenty years ago I took a basic nature awareness course with the Nature Awareness School in Va. We learned how to use a bow drill and other survival skills but one of the topics I remember most was the “fox walk”! I have been using that walk ever since when needed to do so! It’s amazing what you see and hear by taking your time and stopping occasionally! Great video and advice!

[@STOKERMATIC]

Appreciate you sharing your experience!

[@sombra6153]

The 03 in charge of training for my platoon during IOBC in the mid 80s was a big proponent of “route.” My platoon gained intimate familiarity with all the creek beds in the training areas at Ft. Benning. At night too. It was important that rifle slings came off and everything that snagged got taped down if it wouldn’t fit into a pocket. Not that a whole platoon with guys of varying degrees of skill and ability to see in the dark were all that quiet, but taking the least likely path usually brings the most surprise. Anyway, it was a lesson still engrained. I read Major John Plasters accounts of SOG ops and he described the recon as slow and deliberate with the focus on stealth. Patience is indeed a requirement.

[@sparkyplug788]

Yes, I wrap my rifle slings with duct tape, so there no sounds from them.

[@as.31415]

I am not a hunter, nor do I live in a rural area, but I am a writer, writing about an Adventurer (it's a class in my book) so thank you for providing a great resource for research! I would love to move to a rural area someday and spend some more time in the woods. After all, humans are animals and humans are from nature of all kinds: forests, deserts, grasslands, and more, it is where we belong.

[@nim3186]

Quick way to learn to walk silently in any terrain is to simply take off your shoes for short walks, it literally forces you to be ultra aware of your body movements vs steps!!

[@fotogiovanni6599]

Man is the only animal in the forest that walks with a purpose. The rhythmic stride will alert every animal in the forest two counties over.

[@stevenkaniewski44]

In the Wasatch mountain range of Utah I practice hiking slowly and quietly early in the morning, like an Indian. The amount of wildlife I observe is totally amazing. 7 years ago while on one of these hikes I stumbled upon and surprised a very aggressive black bear. Needless to say the only thing that saved my life that day was a 12 gage. You wouldn't believe all that I had to go through proving to DNR that I was in fear of my life for what I did. If this ever happens again, believe me, I'm not going to report it.

[@fjb4932]

In the old days, those in DNR were hunters, trappers and fishermen. Now adays, they 're college kids indoctrinated to be against those that are. Spead sheets, cost analysis, environmental impact, public relations, reports, meetings and paperwork. I came upon one gov't female one day about 4pm, sitting in her Forest Service truck trying to decipher a map. Said she was lost ( and this on a main Forest Service road ), didn't know how to get back to the Admin HQ. I didn't know wether to laugh, or cry. Her main concern was finding the way back, and not being late in punching out. I don't know what she would have done if i hadn't come along. Didn't even have a pistol on her hip ( probably indoctrinated to fear guns ). Pitiful. ☆

[@tomcreekdevil5967]

Great video as is the Stokermatic standard. That "one critical" mistake is difficult to avoid. The woods seem to have plenty of "natural tripwires" and you can't undo the noise once it's made. That and car doors slamming... every critter within 5 miles knows you're there.

Great thoughts today on a subject that requires absolute attention to detail to master! It’s easy just to stomp through the woods, and that’s fine if you’re in a permissive environment… I remember being taught in the Scouts how to carefully walk through the environment, time is secondary in this way of movement. One of the excellent ways to observe/practice is bow hunters… they have to move very quietly while paying attention to wind so as not to alert the critters… great stalking practice! Keep up the Fire!

Finally got a chance to watch this one. I liked it a lot. 👍🏼👍🏼 The sense of smell is overlooked quite often. I would ask my boys “what do you smell?” They would take a moment and tell me. Then I would ask “what did you smell five minutes ago?” They had no answer. Constant situational awareness counts for all your senses. Especially (as I would tell my boys) when there are animals around that can eat you. 😉 A thick pair of heavy wool socks worn on the outside of your boots will muffle your footsteps, even in dry leaves. I was amazed one day when a black bear walked past me not more than 20 feet away (he knew I was there). He was walking on dry leaves and made absolutely no sound. The fur on the bottom of his feet took away all the sound.

[@rmcgraw7943]

Growing up a hunter, sound is the #1 concern when stalking, assuming you are moderately camo’d and not stinking too much like a human. Going slow, very slow, using every available method of noise reduction, walking creek beds or on top of fallen trees where their are no leaves, etc. are key to getting within bow range for deer and other animals. In a 4 hour period, I might walk .5-1 mile at most, walking 5-10 steps as quietly as possible, tree to tree, leaning against it to break up my outline, using binoculars for 10-20 minutes before walking to the next tree. Avoid leaves at all cost, each step is unique, each movement should be justified to your end goal. I can tell whether a sound is a squirrel, deer, bird, etc. simply by the sound they make in the leaves. I can smell bear long before I see them, and I hear everything before I see it. Also, if you dont want to encounter bears, MAKE NOISE. U dont want to walk upon a surprised mother and her cubs, unless you plan on killing them, because that mom will kill you if you’ve gotten too close.

[@keithrayeski6417]

The process is made even more time consuming when you are challenged with a lesser of any of the three main senses. I live with a degenerative hearing loss. It’s imperative for me to move more slowly and use more intensely, my sight and smell. I have to pay closer attention because if I should step on a small branch under scat and break it…I very likely will not hear it…but I’ll feel it. I take more time for visual observation. I take more time to smell. I tend to stay lower when possible, to feel my way. The second point you struck on us, i think, most vital…patience! Unless there are extenuating circumstances or conditions, time is my ally. The slightest movement is critical to be observed. Not just of that which should move in even the slightest breeze…but even more so, what should not move. Movement differs dramatically of that from a flowing breeze, to a short stunted movement of a head or neck. Lines in terrain and trees, are clear. Any object of mass should be observed for as long as necessary. It may be a minute or two, or maybe 10 minutes or more. If it should move and doesn’t, watch. If it does move and shouldn’t, watch. Establish natural lines. Good episode…survival foot work will save your life…patience, will be your survival foot work.

Those Sasquatch usually move pretty quiet through the woods, but they sometimes get complacent when they don't think there are any humans around. Have caught a few of them off guard. Caught one young one twice that way, once when he was supposed to be watching a human trail going into his family's area, he got distracted watching an Elk and I came into the area following a creek instead of the trail. Second time he was coming into my camp area without knowing I was there until he got close and I said hello. Had another older one come walking through my camp nonchalantly, sounded like someone wearing giant flip-flops. He got right beside my poncho shelter that was between two spruce trees, before he knew I was there. I rolled over on my ground cloth trying to get a look at him and he heard me and ran away, then circled way around me through the forest to get back to where he had come from.
