[@davidjacobs828]

Sir , I applaud you for teaching your son all your phenomenal survival skills. This kind of dedication , deserves MASSIVE RESPECT ... Your son will remember and appreciate your expert advice all his life . He's obviously cut from the same cloth as his survival instructor dad . THIS VIDEO IS TRULY INSPIRATIONAL. I wish I was half the dad you are . Thanks for all your hard work .

[@volkertc]

I wish more parents did this with their kids.

[@leonardvelasquez4162]

I do!! 😅

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Me too! Our community is working on raising the next generation of tough men.

[@ONThree]

We can all try to inspire others to do so

[@sajahb7444]

I do too.

[@blueridgerealtor]

He picked my mushroom that I wanted to film 😂. You’re providing him with valuable life lessons

[@anamericanpatriot5032]

Struggle builds character builds confidence which makes strong men.. kudos to you dad

[@user-kx9mt1kb5k]

Well done young grasshopper! More kids need dads like you!

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Thanks. We’re trying to influence our local community to be more self reliant and selfless

[@JoeMicalizziMPC]

This is sooo wonderful for your son to be testing himself in a survival situation. What a GREAT dad you are and what a cool boy you are raising.

[@Markus_321go]

Spending nights outdoors is part of your family's lifestyle and you trained your kids for years. Therefore I'm sure you didn't ask more of him than you knew he could handle. Good job, young man.👍🏻

[@FrankMuchnok]

I think that the most important lesson a person can learn is that new things generally turn out to be much less daunting than you imagine beforehand. Now that he has spent the night alone in the woods it will never be such a big deal again and he won't get ill just thinking about it. Step by step personal growth.

[@woodstrekker6345]

This isn't a wilderness survival video. This is a dad skills video. A+

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Thanks!

[@SJ-db1lh]

A new Prince of the Forest has claimed the lands, with his brave sidekick, Bush Kitty! The village is safe once more! (Lack of sleep! 😂) That's a brave little man, he'll be just fine Jason. 😊 Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@sjohnson4882]

My only reservation with this is the amount of flammable material in close proximity to his fire. Great job of recognizing the accomplishment!

[@markcox1457]

Awesome job, dad! Boys need to be tested early on to gain confidence in themselves to succeed when life gets hard later. It's equally important that are validated by their dad. They need to know their dad believes they have what it takes to be a man. What you just did for your son is huge!

[@MotarkMadman]

I think the next generation would be much better off if there were more parents like you. Most kids and adults now are glued to a screen and even a night away from it is so good for humanity.

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Thank you. I always say start with your family and then local in hopes that it will spread further and wider.

[@jeff-fm5nz]

Great job, lessons like that will stay with him forever.

Toughening up his son with love not through force or judgement. Iff I ever have children id raise them just like j3. Absolute legend. Respect from 🇬🇧👍😎💪🌱🌳

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Thank you. I am always trying to improve as a parent. We need more couples that are selfless and want to raise their children and not let others (devices, social media, peers) do it.

The right training, for the right reasoning! It will make the difference.

[@jrtolkien4174]

Good job, he is learning i am trying teach my daughter

[@SouthernBear71]

Superb!! I trained my kids the same way-ish. Overnighters started at 8. 1 boy, 2 girls all are grown now out in life. My initial overnighter training with them was, me present but out of commission. They had to "take care of or tend to" someone else. However first time out they did have the reassurance that I was there, as safety net. It also teaches them to consider others care that is with them. Once they was 100% with it. They moved on to solo trips.

[@tennesseelockpicking8803]

Reminds me of me when I was a kid no one made me stay outside. They always had to make me come inside. My grandparents raised me And I spent every moment I could in the woods. I built a tree house when I was about 9. And I would stay all night in it in the middle of the woods. I really enjoyed it. In the winter when It got cold I would take a sleeping bag It got cold. I would take a sleeping bag and stay all night. And in the morning, my Grandma would sometimes bring me hot chocolate.😊

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Love it! Sounds like me as a child

[@Honk21]

GREAT JOB! Stayed out there all night. I think that is awesome! More 11 year olds need to do that, it builds character.

[@jerrynemeth6735]

You're right to do this, we need tough kids, and tough adults. I honestly would be nervous about doing what he did.I've camped countless times, but I've always had at least one person with me.

[@erolkavlakverizon6112]

Your son did fine for the first time..I was 12 my first time in a "cabin" I built over a dug out pit . I added some logs and dug an entrance on the side about half way up the long side..the interior was lined with dead leaves from the fall. The roof was holey..lol but worked.. it was early November in New England. My English setter spent the night with me.. I commend you for teaching your children how to survive in the woods ans sharing with us.. One comment..I watched your other video today..grow the beard back..😁

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Thank you very much. Nice job! It definitely elevates your level of confidence. My son was very proud of himself. Lol. It’s back!

[@MrB.176]

What a great experience for him and I know you're proud of him.

[@FueltheFires]

This makes me wish I could see footage of my younger years doing this stuff.. It’s really cool you have a record of it for him so he can see his progress over the years.. Glad to see you doing this with him.. Good job brother!

BRAVE YOUNG MAN . U GOT TO BE PROUD DAD . JOB WELL DONE .

Good video. When I was 11, My friends and I camped out almost every weekend in the woods. Great memories.

[@SurvivalDispatch]

That's awesome. Memories of a lifetime.

[@jeffslaven]

You've got one tough kid right there Jason. He reminds me of ME back in the early 70's when we did the same exact thing for recreation. It was a different world back then, but the core value remains the same. Well done Elijah!

Thank you. He was very proud of himself.

Great learning experience for your son. And he nailed it.

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Yes, thank you

[@unfi6798]

Priceless.!

[@user-McGiver]

he'll grow up to be a Spartan...! For Spartan boys the ''Agoge'' [training] started at the age of 8... they lived in groups in the woods, under the leadership of a 15 yrs old, small flexible groups, having to hunt, trap, fish, steal for food and everything they need, getting harsh punishment if they were caught, and to graduate at the age of 20, they had to kill a slave... and that was just to be able to start the proper military training... that was really hard... I used to run to the woods as a kid every time I had a fight with my parents... once my father found me living in the big city in the streets having run from home for 6 months... I was 15 years old... I developed a routine to go hunting for a couple of weeks during the ''Hollydays'' [the change of year] I loved that ''alone time'' thinking of the past and coming year...] once I found a perfect cave, water nearby, plenty of game, and everything... next year, I went straight there and stayed for 4 years... I was 24-28... I left a proper house behind me... everybody thought that I was out of the country... when they saw me a wild man they freaked out... I'm still wild inside... that's where I found my Peace...

[@clif4rd1]

Great job with the kids in times such as these

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Thank you. It’s constant work but I know it will pay off. I want him to grow into as tough of a selfless, self reliant man as possible.

It's a different world we live in if you want your kids to learn anything you need to teach them yourself schools are just a problem that keeps getting worse i had to learn everything i know by putting my hand in the fire and getting burned a bunch of times taking chances and making mistakes as my favorite saying growing up was what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger

[@Markus_321go]

Facts.👍🏻

[@SurvivalDispatch]

That’s for sure.

[@jammer2isme]

There's going to be people that whine about an 11 year old being too young for that. Those idiots need to pick up a book and read about the kids that were on their own in the wilderness at MUCH younger ages whose parents had already taught them to clean and process game, forage for edible plants, find water, start fires, build or find shelter, navigate home using landmarks and the stars, and survive without benefit of someone coming to get them in the morning. The past and the frontier were very unforgiving and the kids HAD to learn to hunt, work, and help the family without the modern tools and techniques we have.

[@SurvivalDispatch]

That’s right! Look at 5 year old Amazonian children. Those children are more skilled in the outdoors than most American men.

[@reneewood3171]

The only thing missing was a fire reflector

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Next time!

[@KKing55]

When I was that age, I slept like a log, and would not have awakened due to cold.....

[@quartz3150]

Was this wooded area on your own property? Or maybe on public lands?

[@miked7666]

I did this with my kids, they turned out good able to take care of themselves and their families, good job.

[@markspangler8573]

No so sure about this one. At only 11, I think this might be considered child abuse. Would have been different if you had done this together, but not leaving him alone. Granted you were close by, but he didn’t know that. Wait for the survival solos until he is older. Not a fan of this one.

[@matthewellisor5835]

BLUF Respectfully disagree. It depends on the kid, their experience, level of demonstrated responsibility and the setup. He knows the area, was between home and Grandpa's house, had means to "self rescue" has the experience of plenty of outings, Dad was close by and had the option to decline going solo just yet. I'll bet the farm that it made for an awesome memory that he'll carry the rest of his life. I sure have cherished memories from camping alone or with my two year younger sister as early as 8. Sometimes in a shack of a cabin, sometimes a tent, sometimes a debris shelter, sometimes leaning against a big rock. There were clear trails for the half to one mile to the barn and not many more steps to the house in case a bad storm rolled in. By 11-12 I'd be gone for several days (number of days and location planned and authorized by my parents or person assigned responsibility for me) with a backpack and a .22, the rabbits and squirrels didn't stand a chance.

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

They have done this before. Did you not listen to what Jason said in the video? Elijah knew Jason was close by... give the kid some credit, he's not stupid (far from it). He knows where his house is, he knows where his grandparents house is. You may not have been capable of doing this when you were 11. You may not have trained your kids (if you have them) to do this. But i was capable of doing this when I was 11, and no one trained me. I learned from books. Jason has been training his kids how to survive out in the wilderness for years. The only thing I'm concerned about is if he's training his girls as thoroughly, because we absolutely need these same skills and training as well.

[@SurvivalDispatch]

That’s right.
