Learn how to survive as we walk you through the steps we took on a week-long primitive survival outing. ****Next Class March 2019****. I know its long, but it's packed with cool skills. Skills shown are shelter, primitive coconut opening, gathering food, friction fire from Bamboo, basket weaving and traps, primitive spearfishing, rope making, bamboo fish trap, diving deep for conch, mongoose trapping, bamboo cooking, snail roast and clay baking. If interested in going out on an excursion like this, check out wildsurvivalskills.com/ or MtVictoryCamp.com . Class will be held late 2017 in a very similar location on the Western side of St Croix.

****For those of you that are wondering, yes, we did find another source of water and boiled the water in bamboo.
And, hydrocyanic acid, found in Almonds, is burned off when heated, this is why we roasted them.
And lastly, the spines of Lion Fish are toxic if they stick you, the fish meat is not, it is very commonly eaten, so we cut the spines off and were all set.

After a few decades of being obsessed with collecting survival and primitive skills techniques, I am putting out these videos to demonstrate the skills and excursions found at my school, Wild Survival (wildsurvivalskills.com). Videos are focused on primitive skills, rewilding, nature awareness, living off the land, off grid living, indigenous skills, shelter building, primitive fire, water purification, trapping, hunting, bow making, flint knapping, primitive pottery, basketry, edible and medicinal plant preparation and numerous indigenous skills.
I began studying wilderness survival when I was 17 in order to have the ability to spend extensive periods of time in nature, seeking out empowerment and without the need for external sources. I began studying in 1993 under Tom Brown Jr eventually teaching for Tracker Inc. I sought-out every old Native American teacher I could and eventually traveled the world living in very remote indigenous villages in the Amazon, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Peru. My school teaches survival and primitive skills, nature awareness, how to live off the land, re-wilding, prepare for disasters. I strongly believe that experiencing survival living changes the way people approach their entire lives.

+Tom Mcelroy-Wild Survival I just stumbled on your channel. This video was great. The pace was good and I loved learning about all the new, (to me) survival skills. Its inspiring and empowering to see that it is possible to live free, without money. It wouldn't be "easy" but how easy is it to live the way we live now? Not too easy from my experience. Have you heard of the "re-wilding" movement? I read a really good book by Miles Olsen which described the how and why. The thought of living free on a tropical island has an appeal. Thanks for making these videos I look forward to seeing them all.

Honestly even though I would most likely eat my words if I was ever forced to be put on a deserted island, it seems like it would be really liberating. Being able to collect things for myself and working from the ground up rather than doing irrelevant jobs that don't relate to any of the things I need for survival, it kind of sounds awesome. And in what other situation would you be in a place on earth that's not somehow claimed by someone else? Where so much as cutting down a sapling would be a violation of territory? Seems like it'd be pretty awesome to just be somewhere that's unclaimed.

abialo2010 How many youtubers genuinely expect to find themselves stranded on a desert island? Especially one so rich in resources? While still being in possession of a knife or machete? It looks like about 70,000 or so. I remember the last time I tried to take a letter opener in my baggage at the airport. The rubber gloves were probably the worst part of that ordeal.

I'd have to agree. Couple decades ago, I worked like Hell to fulfill a childhood fantasy: spend 10 days alone on a deserted beach in Australia. Out of choice, I brought limited gear (a lot more than Tom) , no food or water and a book on wild plants. The flies feasted on me, sun cooked me, had a run-in with a brown snake, thought dolphins were sharks, lost 15 lbs., and almost went insane listening to the night sounds and talking to myself. Had the time of my life! Never had the guts to read my journal. One day maybe.

Grab a belt or some kind of strong cordage wrap it round the tree, lean back then just walk up the tree sliding the cordage up as you go

I've never climbed a tree. I'm vertically challenged anyway and was super careful even as a kid, so I never tried it. I'm also scared of heights. I'm sure I'd figure it out, but like... even climbing a tree in the most straightforward fashion, for me, would feel like extreme parkour or something, lol. I just... I dunno. I dunno. I'd hope to be with another person and trade off some other activity with them. I'll skin the kills if they climb the trees or something.

Great stuff, guys. Very educational. And hey, if you're going to be stranded on a desert island, you might as well pick one with a view! 14:12 I really love your reverse wrap method; the one I've seen before was holding each strand between fingers and weaving them slowly, so yours is much more efficient. You guys show some very nice advanced skills. Climbing on trees to get coconuts and spearfishing don't look like things that most people would be able to do without skill and some serious muscle soreness later - and I suspect many would be unable to do them at all. I would also point out that most people don't carry a machete or big knife around, so if they end up on a desert island, it won't instantly turn into a "dessert island", if you catch my drift. ;) But you can make some pretty nifty cutting or chopping tools by chipping away at a stone with another, then polishing it when you have the time so that it lasts longer.

Dude, great video and thank you for taking the time to do it.....but, When you make the shelter show what to look for area, standing trees, the limbs used. when you gathered the roof, maybe show were you got the limbs. Its like there was just a big pile of them lying around. Im trying to look at it from a true stranded person. There is an art to climbing those trees. And im sure your trying to keep your video time down, but i think you have so much more knowledge to share that your maybe skipping over key points because its second hand to you. And back to the beginning, DUDE GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!
