Always! Take a compass, map and pen to mark your map. X

[@sholtodepuma]

Cool vid man Pro tip: Quarantine your kit outside or in the shed for a few days after a camping trip, Don't take your kit straight indoors or you're going to have ticks crawling around your house. A few days after a trip I found ticks crawling up my walls. No joke! 😩

[@cliffordpottle1136]

you forgot your bread crumbs to follow back home lol🥪

[@nigelmacbug6678]

buying a compass may of been useful

[@JanineCrainich-rj6sx]

If this had been at night JT it would have been more like the “Blair Witch”….cheese & rice dude lol

[@heatherjacobs1052]

Please, please, please! Do more videos like this ❤

[@one2869]

I didn't see that spoon on your list of what you bought. Maybe you brought it from home. Just searched my local Walmart to see what I could do for 100.00. My list: (rounded up to nearest 50 cents.) Tent 30.00 Inflatable sleeping pad 15.00 (No sleeping bag since you're sleeping on top of yours) Headlamp 2.00 (No lamp because headlamp works in tent also) Same 10.00 cook set Lighter 1.00 Bug spray/repellent 5.00 Ozark trail memory foam pillow 10.00 (to put on top my backpack) Same 10.00 backpack 1.5 liters Smartwater 1.00 2 packs of Ramen 1.00 Mountain house sausage biscuits and gravy 10.00 (Because I like a good breakfast in the morning) Folgers instant coffee packs 2.00 (got to have me coffee) Ozark trail utensil set 1.50 (Knife, fork, spoon) Total. 98.50 Of course it was cheaper because of me rounding everything up. Was fun to watch and then see if I could do the same, better or worse for the same amount. I think I did pretty well.

[@Harrold37]

The editing on this gives me Kent Survival vibes 😂

[@lynseybux6225]

Ok I've been watching JT Outdoors since your first upload and I must have watched your other camping video 100 times so I'm so BLOODY excited you're doing more content like this! Thank you for never giving up on this channel! X

There is an old saying over here in the UK, commonly known as the 7 P’s: Prior Preparation and Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. 1. Plan your equipment and load carrying properly. 2. Plan your route, noting fixed landmarks, using a map. It helps if you plan it in short sections. 3. Take a map and compass, check your phone is fully charged and that you have a charger in case the battery gets drained. While walking, stop every 5-10 minutes and look around you so you can remember what it looks like, also take a photo looking back the way you came. If you do get lost stop where you are, take some time to calm down and get control of yourself, have a sip or two of water. Then check the area where you are for clues and look at map and compass to wok out where you are. From what you said, walking uphill gets you home, downhill to your target of the creek, so with that simple information you can get yourself out of trouble (which you did 😉).

Got a couple of tips for you. Next time, don't hike in shorts, I wouldn't want to risk contracting Lymes disease. Duct tape your trousers around the tops of your boots, this will stop the ticks from crawling up your trouser legs. Then, you want to reverse wrap your legs from ankle to knee with duct tape - so that the sticky is facing outwards. As you're hiking along any ticks you brush against will stick to the duct tape. Then at the end of the day, you can just cut the duct tape wrap off your legs. I'd carry a spare plastic bag in your kit for all the wrap you cut off? You can throw it away at home. Pack the duct tape in your kit for re-applying the next day. Also - please don't carry your sleeping bag exposed like that, it's a vital piece of kit when you're camping. If you get caught in a downpour and it gets soaked, it's not the best thing to sleep in. In some environments it could lead to exposure and hypothermia issues. Just put it in a black bin liner and tie it up. You can then stow it on the backpack still. I stow my sleeping kit (tent and bag) as vertical as possible as it's right in the middle of your back making it a little easier to carry. If they're swinging around under your backpack, it can lead to more energy being used to counteract it when you walk. I'd probably get some fluoro material strips and then walk the trail to the creek with Anna's dad and tie the strips around tree trunks at eye level. That way you've always got a guide path for next time?

[@reginaldmolehusband4330]

You should take Anna so she can carry the backpack whilst you check your new compass. ❤❤❤ love these vids.

[@davidgraemesmith1980]

Compass app for ya cellphone and possibly real GPS app if not already installed, no need for cellular network if you can use in-car navigation the version I have on my Samsung even works in pine forest 😊

[@ervinslens]

Lovely b-roll shots man! Such a great and artistic presentation!

[@TanyaRando]

For camping and picnics etc, I have a few sets of cutlery in their own containers. Fork, knife and spoon, and occasionally chopsticks too, from Amazon, they aren't expensive and I had the ones in a neoprene case. They take up very, very little space or weight.

[@markjones127]

Great video JT, I wild camp a lot here in the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales, no better way to recharge the batteries! Did you have a sleeping mat for under your sleeping bag? I never noticed one and they help massively for a comfortable nights sleep, just a basic closed cell foam mat is really light and super cheap, also I'd look at the company Flextail and look at their range of electronic bug repel devices, in recent years they've become very popular in the camping world as they do a great job and make nights in buggy environments much more comfortable, or you could use an old British camping technique, just leave a piece of marmite on toast in your tent and all the bugs run a mile!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@markjones127]

I'm always so jealous watching videos of people with campfires too, they're completely banned here in Wales, even in winter, so we have to rely on just clothes, a good sleeping bag and plenty of hot food and drink... and whisky!!!

[@BrendaaKaa]

​@@markjones127No campfires would be sad. I'm also from Kentucky and lots of people have fire pits or just campfires in the backyards. So nice on a summer or fall evening.

[@robertroberts8648]

We don't have wild animals in Eryri though 😂

[@garlichr]

​@@BrendaaKaa I think he means that fires are banned when you're actually out wild camping, in the woods etc. They are certainly not banned in the context you mention, like in your own back garden. Most of us have fire pits or Chimeneas etc. here, too 😊👍

[@markjones127]

@@BrendaaKaa Campfires are only banned when out wild camping, we're allowed campfires in our backyards though.

[@vinny221]

Really loved this but you have to take Anna next time lol 😂x

[@Project-jf3bz]

I like the camping videos. More please 😊

[@Kitcatz1997]

Loved this x

[@Silentauditor974]

Yep, I’m sure Kentucky and all that but you can keep it as soon as I heard Jurassic sounds coming from the woods. Ttfn 😂

[@andygoodfellow9455]

Great video JT, more of this

[@jillybrooke29]

That would be exciting, when I lived abroad as a child, my Uncle had a house with a ton of bushland behind, us kids used to run as far as we could and spend the day/night there, was so exciting (no mobile phones !!) Now home in UK.

[@TheMrbazooka]

Top Job chap 🤘

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

One of my grandsons, a keen camper, loves nothing better than a weekend camping out with a mate in the Gondwana rainforest, near his home in Queensland. A venturer scout, Alex told me via Webex that he was surprised you got lost. He told me, " Gramps, all he had to do was copy what all the trees around him were doing, and leave". 😂

[@Sharon-jh6xs]

Loved the video I was lost with you jt 😊

[@jamesylfc9611]

get a compass next time

[@elaineshakeshaft2830]

That was good I really enjoyed that JT❤

[@debbieinglis143]

Love ya hair jt u don't need a hat ...great video enjoyed it

[@cowasakiElectronics]

I was expecting something like that episode of MASH. You get up in the morning and find you are right next to your house :)

[@ginibelle1416]

Cool video... I'm glad you found your way back 😧

[@jeffknott1975]

Be careful of spirits near the burial ground I watched a documentary where they were attacking alive people! Thinking about it it could of been a movie I watched but why take chances? 😂

[@davidhipperson448]

Watch out fur that cucumber smell by the creek, had similar in Virginia thought it was a refreshing change from sitting wiid. Turns out it was I camped near a family of copperhead s. I'm sure I made Guinness world record fastest exit back to the trailer

[@sholtodepuma]

I actually enjoy getting lost, It completely absolves you from any daily responsibilities 😊

[@robvanman7500]

Appalachian Trail or the Great Divide Trail next

[@gleadhill79]

Are you supposed to spray that bug spray on your face? Plus...you missed your legs 😂 Nope, I'm not a camper, insects are the reason and I always sleep in the car! You need a rope so you can find your way back!! 🤣😂

[@debrastuart4357]

YO!!!! Keep 'em peeled for dogmen and sabe..!! xxx

[@Cattabushi]

lost in the woods in Kentucky is terrifying, good job you didn't hear a random banjo duel 😱

[@elaineshakeshaft2830]

Good morning JT☺❤

[@sandrachilds3598]

So brave, I would be so scared of snakes.

[@meatballburton4828]

Jt do this in the uk

[@elaineshakeshaft2830]

My anxiety would be kicking in right now.🙈

[@derekmartin4523]

take some marker flags with you just in case you lose yourself again

[@ruthletts9752]

I’d be too worried about snakes and no getting to help quick enough if bitten

[@elaineshakeshaft2830]

Night night😆❤❤

[@jamesylfc9611]

the thumb nail this is a real jt video lol

[@benstradling7615]

Dude I bet Anna's paps got lost a bunch of times in the woods before he learnt his way around the place I reckon that you need to go get yourself lost in the woods at least once a week just so that you can know the place like the back of your hand , one of the first things I do when I go somewhere new is go and get myself lost I remember when we used to go on holiday when as a family when I was a kid I'd go get myself lost by the end of our holiday I'd know the place better than some of locals.

[@caru547]

How long did it take to get home, JT? I was feeling nervous for you! 👀🤣

[@fezbomb123]

Google maps don’t work in the woods?

[@garlichr]

Not when you have no signal, as he mentioned.

[@bethanduke2566]

You needed to put the bug spray on in the bathroom before you get dressed I think. I'd like to see you camp by the native American area and to leave a camera running outside so we can watch the world outside go by.

[@RagingPhoenix16661]

In this video:- JT does Bear Grylls survival challenge and gets lost in the woods.. Can he manage to make his way out?. Watch til the end to find out! (All in an announcer voice) 🤘🏻😁

[@andreajones2496]

Watch out for bigfoot😊😊

[@joannesmart6021]

Bigfoot I could cope with! Ticks and spiders? That’s a whole bag of nopes! I’m out! Especially the ticks! I’m terrified of them! Get some duct tape and tape the bottom of your trousers next time or wear gaiters and tape the bottom of them to your boots. As for the spiders, that’s easy, flame thrower.😊

[@jamesylfc9611]

the things you do for content i can tell this one hurt

[@elizabethjohnson1976]

Why would you even want to go in the the woods full of ticks?

[@elaineshakeshaft2830]

Hi JT❤

[@adawatson]

Well done - I'd hate to know how many spiders there were. You have lovely hair - ditch that hat please

[@natashafletcher600]

Night shots or it didn't happen

[@Stevelives13]

Lost in 10 acres?

[@paulharvey9149]

And the million dollar question is... Why has JT gone camping? Have you been having words with Anna, JT? Did she throw you out??

[@jeffknott1975]

Call me crazy but maybe, just maybe its good to spend time in nature? And couples need time apart it's detrimental spending 24/7 with a partner!

[@robertroberts8648]

Would have been easier to just go home 😂😂😂 moral of the story, spend some more time in the woods with your pa in-law 😅

[@Stevelives13]

I'm sure spraying bug spray into your face is healthy.

[@jamesylfc9611]

2 for 1

[@jamesylfc9611]

also your noddle making skills need work lol

[@alisonleatherbarrow]

Should have tucked your pants legs in your socks

[@AD270479]

Just a pity you're in Kentucky & not Kansas. If you're in Kansas & get lost, you just click your heels together 3 times & you'll end up back home.

[@garlichr]

Disappointed that I didn't see any Fried Chicken trees ...? 🙁
