If anyone's still wondering, that old car is a Buick... '66 or '67... not sure which model since the Canadian versions sometimes had different names and such... but the aluminum brake drums are the tell. As bad as it looks, it might actually be worth something since it's a 2 door hardtop.
@Ed-ty1kr3 ай бұрын
I will go with 68' Grand Sport 400, judging by the missing big block that someone dragged up that hill, and the sqare brake vents on that front fender. In any case the body lines ID that as a Buick GS with the downward sloping door crease, and window outlines.

Mate, I remember when you first started the channel after the "Survival Challenge" with the Ginger Camper. Fowler only has 1.5 M subscribers, and he's been doing this a hell of a lot longer than you. That says it all. I bet you never thought you'd have nearly 800K followers. It's awesome that you stuck with it. Because you're literally the only one that "Lives" a Wildlife style of existence. Instead of all the others, like Mr. Fowler, that only do it on weekends or holidays. You're the real deal. So, thank you for continuing to do what you do so well.

Great video. It’s great that you keep referencing that survival situations are not some comfortable cosy experience. I make belt sized survival kits for a hobby and it never ceases to amaze my how some people are under the impression that they can live ‘comfortably’ for long periods of time with these type of kits. It’s just not realistic. They are to give to the absolute barest chance of staying alive. Arguably, it’s your backpack that is really your true survival kit. While it’s great to have some things that can help you start a fire etc, experience far outweighs kit in my opinion. Greet video-always straightforward and realistic.
