When I lived in Alaska we were taught even as children to always carry an emergency kit with you.

Makes sense. Getting stranded in Alaska in the winter with no gear could be a death sentence!

Jeep Wagoneer should come from the factory with that message pre etched on the back glass with a signal panel part of the standard equipment.

@UnionSportsmen good stuff. Thanks for the video.

I read the comments and people are suggesting big logs. Big logs are great. But if you plan to process a bunch of big logs with handsaws and axes you better have several hours to work with in the daylight. And don’t work too hard and get sweaty. Sweaty clothes could be your death sentence. So unless you start around noon or maybe carry a chainsaw (that will start) fairly small and convenient logs might not be a bad idea.

[@UnionSportsmen]

Good points - they are not a bad idea at all.

A can of high vis orange spray paint in the trunk also works great. Yes I know snow can cover it. It's just a good piece of car survival gear. It's also great for trail blazing.

[@UnionSportsmen]

Great suggestion! Especially if there is no snow on the ground, it may stand out even more.

[@user-yu1zp2vu9x]

Thanks for sharing. Great information.. Everyone should know this process.

[@UnionSportsmen]

We appreciate you watching!

A saw for cutting logs to length is a good thing.

Thank you very much friend for bringing great content I highly appreciate stay safe outdoors God bless you and your family

[@UnionSportsmen]

Thank you for watching. We are glad you find value in it.

Thank you for this video. The MK Super Shelter is, IMHO, a superb answer to the question of survival on a cold night. I like your long fire. You could do that even if you were slightly incapacitated, as none of the individual pieces were very heavy. If you had time, strength, and appropriate resources, a Siberian Log Fire might have been very good with that MK SS.

Great suggestions!

Candles could have been used in the truck with safe candle holders. Great video. Not too many people think about the worst case scenario.. keeping an extra key under your vehicle can save your life as well.. E kits are essential when in the backcountry. I drove into a frozen field . Came back from hunting. The vehicle was stuck. I had everything in the vehicle to camp for days. We walked towards town. And not long a car came. Her dad was a retired Philadelphia cop. He pulled us out. My friend and his wife got a 4x4 truck stuck on ice in the hills.. not prepared at all walked countless miles . They don't want to even relive the experience

I like tomahawks for ease of carry , but in winter it's easier to cut larger longer logs with a small ax with a two pound head and an 18 or 19 Inch handle like a Woodcraft Pack Ax .

[@UnionSportsmen]

Not a bad idea to carry something like that in your vehicle.

I've used super shelters. Make an upside down fire 🔥 . With body length logs and you'll be good all or most of the night without having to mess with the fire. Tuck the plastic in towards you and pin it down with a log , rocks, etc.. It helps keep the sparks from landing on the plastic and burning a hole in it. Don't go to crazy with the fire. It will get too hot in the shelter.

I think it would be better to stay in the car in the winter. Firstly, it would be easier to find you because you could use the horn or lights. Secondly, it provides better shelter and protection from animals etc. Most people, unless trained or passionate about survival, would not survive one night in the woods in the winter. Apart from that, great material for someone who knows what they are doing. Greetings from Poland.

How Do you open shelter wall to feed fire

[@melvinbrown6998]

Working and talking makes you sweat MORE. I suggest making a video with music + subtitles.

[@lawrenceagnew3972]

Bigger logs
