I'm confident that every sasquatch sighting is just Donny running around naked in the woods. Great video as always

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Hahaha. I’m not that Harry.

[@sonicplanet9193]

That's not possible. He sews himself into his clothing, like a real wilderness survival guy. At least I assume he does. That's what I do.

[@KyleL-us5lu]

@@sonicplanet9193 Indeed but what about after the cameras are off 🤔

[@Vendeevictores]

I love this kind of content. Donny doesn’t build shelters, the forest sees him coming and builds one for him. Donny Dustisms!

[@lelandshanks3590]

Loved how you utilized Birch bark for shingles on the outside of the shelter.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Thanks. It’s actually aspen bark. Both look very similar. Appreciate you watching!

[@keithwhittington1322]

The other day, I was walking with my two dog buds, when all of a sudden they exited stage right, game on. Fifty gigantic elk walked quickly into a clearing, stopped and looked back. Here came the hounds, who ran right up to the herd. They all stood there for a minute or two looking at each other. Then, the elk casually walked up the mountain and the dudes trotted back. It's all about the chase. Happy trails, my friend.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

That’s awesome! Dogs know stuff we don’t. A good pup I. The bush is key!!!

[@primalbushcraft3540]

Yes I’ve been waiting all week to sit down and enjoy a good Donny dust video! Love your content keep it up!

Wow! Thank you for keeping it real. That is something I can and will do. Looks fun, but also very good to practice.

[@mtgAzim]

Two questions for you Donny: Has Finn ever alerted you to anything spooky? Like animals or people sniffing around your camp at night or anything like that? And second, have you ever been or considered doing any camping up in northern Wisconsin? The area around the end of the peninsula can be pretty cool. Lots of little lakes, islands, cliffs, forests and such. I've only been up there a few times when I was a kid, but it seems like a cool place to do some survival camping stuff, and I don't really see or hear people talk about it much. [EDIT] I typed that before finishing the video. I guess I got the answer to that first question. 😄

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Hahaha. No worries. He’s pretty alert and on top of things. He’s a good companion. I would absolutely head that direction. I’m sure there are plenty of resources and fishing opportunities.

[@barnaclebill1615]

I like how he stays rather primitive. A tarp would’ve done for an impromptu shelter, but it’s the minimalist aspect yes. I love the cutting tool! I’m subscribing today. Thanks!! 👍👍😁🇺🇸

[@storbunlimitedbushcraft6996]

Awesome vid as always my dude, great skills. Sometimes no fire and nothing more than a night chilling in nature is all that is required man! Well done

[@garyblack2858]

Hey Donny, glad to see our buddy, Finn, again. What smart, simple shelter. Using the bark to provide cover from the rain/layer of insulation and the stones to sturdy things up are things I will try. Helps to keep bugs out? Going to give it a try.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Thanks 👍 it’s good to go. With any inclement weather I would lay my bark shingles differently, but for clear skies and one night….no issues

[@tanybrachid]

Finn is such a handsome and well behaved pup. A great companion to a great owner

[@-ArthurMorgan_]

Building a solid shelter that'll keep you warm and protected from the elements is probably one of the most important things that you should build if you are in bush because exposure to the elements can and will kill you if you're exposed to them for too long,so that's why decent solid shelter is most important thing out there, Great video All the best

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Thanks so very much for watching. Appreciate it greatly!🤙🤙🤙

[@danieldelgado3659]

Sleeping in the mountains is not always comfortable but it is a new experience, good video Donny Dust's Paleo, much success, thank you!¡¡¡

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Thanks, you too! Appreciate you watching.

[@Ghost_Os]

I had to laugh at the "and don't take it in the middle of the night, either" 😂 Couple great things about the quickie shelters, if you do need to build something longterm, they'll keep you out of the weather until the bigger work is done. And, they're quick to repair and replenish as needed. Looks like that caribou hide is basically sized for your torso?

[@cesarchavez4487]

Thanks for all the great advice Donny! Society is getting crazy and I need to get out for a while at least.

[@bracoop2]

Damn I get excited when I see a new Donny Dust video! My favorite survivalist for sure!

[@davidcurry9292]

If I was to do same shelter setup where I live at in Arkansas. Good chance their would be a rattlesnake or copperhead in the root ball. And a bonus would be the ticks chiggers and mosquitoes, that would be in the pine needles lol

[@prestonmartinez1887]

Good evening. First video of yours I have ever seen so impressive. Definitely someone I would like to be more like and learn from. Serious question from a city slicker. How do you prepare for/look out for/defend from/ not have fear of snakes and harmful bugs or spiders? Like in this video, I didn’t think about the rocks in the roots… but I was more like “how does he know there isn’t a snake down there going to bite as he clears it out or poisonous bug going to get on him at night. If I could over come this, I would definitely start camping. (Live in Texas, if that changes things). Thanks!

[@donvandenberg5301]

Damn. I think another day or two, some mud, boughs and maybe some mor birch bark and i think this could be a pretty good long term shelter.

[@danholmblad9925]

You are awesome. Like the way you teach. You remind me of Ron Hood. God bless him. But keep up the awesome work.

Me imagino que algo así debe ser para alguien que quiera y sepa de supervivencia extrema y de corazón de hierro ❤

[@PogDaily-zn6tp]

I really want to get into bushcraft, and wilderness survival. However, all of the knowledge that you need, that that comes with time is incredibly daunting. Do you have any guidance to give on speeding up the process of learning what plants, trees, herbs, etc can be used for what? Additionally is there any other tips or things that are important, or that you wish you knew sooner?

[@user-ci2mn1oy3w]

I carry a 1 lb net hammock, a couple of 1/2 lb each camo nets a couple of 1/4 lb each full-body bugnet "suits" a 1.5 lb reflective tyvek bivy, a lb of drum-liners, stakes, cordage, and I can sleep just fine at 34F, in wind and rain, in just cammies, balaclava, gloves, unlaced shes, 3 pairs of sock liners, and shemagh. I can set all of that up in a very few minutes. I can get down to 20F with some dry debris to mix in with my other gear and I can get 10F degrees colder with either hot rocks/water-bottles inside of the bivy, or about as much debris as he uses for bedding, between my bivy and the 2 drum-liners that serve as an "envelope" around the bivy. Trapped AIR is what insulates you, folks. So there can be no air leaks of the bivy or the envelope. Use a light to look for them and tape them if you find any. Pull a ridgeline and the hammock thru the bivy and attach another separate ridgeline to the outside of the envelope. I can feed myself with the 50x10ft, 2" mesh monofilament gillnet that I made into a hammock and the bugnet suits are of course very handy in hot weather. The camo nets have other uses, too. I use a buttpack and a daypack to carry my stuff. At night, I empty out the packs, stuff them with debris and use them as sleeping pads, normally up in the hammock. If it's cold,, I hang the hammock about 6" off of the ground, with me in it. I kick debris under the hammock so as to stop air from flowing under me.

[@Jaden48108]

As a primitive temporary shelter goes that's pretty righteous. Finn might have a future as a tongue wielding nasopharyngeal dermatologist.

[@storbunlimitedbushcraft6996]

No cheesy "pretend to be asleep and then wake up scene" dude, you're letting the side down 😅😅😅😅 come on man, I tuned in for cheesy camera moves 😉 😂💜

[@user-ci2mn1oy3w]

this is way too much trouble. Lots of areas lack such materials, or they are soaking wet, covered with snow,, etc. I dont want to spend half of my day making a shelter and then have to return to that shelter. My 5 lbs of sleep/shelter gear lets me just set up wherever I want to stop for the night.. Depending upon how I deploy my gear, I can handled 100F down to 30F without any debris. With debris, I can get down to 10F and with a fire, I can handle 0F, without having to bother with the massive amounts of debris needed to fill the area between the bivy and its "envelope".

[@narakuanime]

What about hygiene, keeping teeth clean and well wiping your butt?

[@ArkayaStudios]

Cleaning your teeth is actually easier than it looks. Get a fibrous stick and chew one end until it develops bristles (similar to a toothbrush, what a surprise) and rub charcoal on the bristled end, then use it as a toothbrush. It's not perfect and you'll still probably have to scrape some plaque off of your teeth with your nails, but it's better than nothing and helps a surprising amount.
