In this video (part one and two) I go into the wilderness of North Eastern North America with only a knife and live off the land for a week. I document many of the crucial steps and tips and tricks that I do to survive in the forest. Skills shown are shelter, primitive fire, bark containers, water purification, fishing, weaving natural rope, bark shelters, trapping, edible plants, primitive cooking, fish traps....and tons more.

Creating these videos is a blast...but can also be limited by $$...if you feel up to it, please chip in so that I can crank out more and more content like this. Visit my Patreon account and donate as little as $1 if you have the ability. Thanks,

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, tracking and 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 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 and how to prepare for disasters. I strongly believe that experiencing survival living changes the way people approach their entire lives.

It's very true, although he picks very resourceful areas with alligning weather. Imagine that fire and shelter if it was raining. The leaves would make it wet inside the shelter, and the fire would be hard to make. Not discrediting the survival possibilities here, just saying that it would be a very different story

The eastern woodlands have so many resources for survival. It's easy to see why most natives lived there and not in the desert mountain west where I live. Tom's video on "How to survive alone in the desert" highlights the difficulty of surviving in the desert west. I really enjoy these videos, he's calm and very good about explaining each step.

I've lived in population-dense urban and suburban areas for most of my life, but unlike the kids I grew up with, I had exposure to rural life too. I got to spend all of my childhood summers with my dad up in the Adirondack Mountains. I got to do a lot of camping - not hardcore survival camping like this - but I learned the basics about foraging and fishing and starting fires. Back then, I probably would have been able to survive if I got lost in the wilderness .... at least if it happened during the warmer months. (If I got lost in the winter, or if a bear took a chunk out of my thigh. I would have been screwed.) The locals knew all about the plants and wildlife around them and they were very generous with their knowledge. Those mountain folks were some of the hardiest, most resourcful people I ever came across. I didn't have the stomach to accompany them on any hunts, but they had me catching and cleaning bass and perch like a pro. I haven't done any mountain living in decades. It would definitely take a little time to readjust to pulling out fish guts, but I would really like to get reacquainted with nature. There's a small patch of woods and a stream within walking distance of my house. If the zombie apocalypse wiped out the food supply, I might be able to find enough fiddleheads and frogs (as a last resort) to get by. I really don't think I could bring myself to kill Bambi or Thumper though.

What 'parasites' are you referring to, exactly ? By the time water boils (100degC), it's already had time to kill any pathogens. 85 degC does the trick so, even at altitude, boiling for any length of time just wastes fuel. Boiling/distilling supersedes all chemical purification ('filtering', drops) and is second only to reverse osmosis for purification.

i knooooow, such a great comment. This is precisely why I have been watching survival/cooking videos for years now, ever since i was living in nyc and desperate to escape. I'm slowly adding up a lot of really good info i never had any idea of before, shit i didnt even know you could eat bone marrow or cook down bones to get more nutrients, eat fish heads etc when I started!!! All the info matters.. Dont forget in all this to focus as much as you can on local area survival too- you can reduce the amount of information you need to memorize and get great tips. Now I know how to clean poison puffer fish, use saw palms for tinder, load a rifle, can foods, forage for dandelions, make sea grape preserves, find oysters, avoid dangerous mushrooms and build cob housing!!! This stuff is really quite confidence-building and every new fact adds up to a greater knowledge of the natural world!!

Wayne Davis if you have to survive in the wilderness the ticks are a secondary concern. As long as you tick check everyday you shouldn’t get Lyme disease or any tick borne diseases. Ultimately maintaining heat> repelling bugs. This is also coming from someone who lived in the wilderness without contact from civilization for 3 months tho

@@Paul-wq5ij This also coming from someone who now lives in Arkansas- I got Lyme disease from my first exposure to a lone star tick camping in Oklahoma. They are EVERYWHERE and absolutely infested in leaf litter in some areas. The ground can crawl. They even drop out of trees. I don't know the answer and want to know, but it looks like lavender and the oils of certain plants repel them?

This is great Tom. You;ve packed in so much valuable information, and done it in a way that makes this knowledge accessible. UK flora and fauna are ilkely a bit different, but the skills you are sharing seem like they would come in handy in any similar climate/terrain. You definately make this look easier than it ilkely is, but you also show us the pitfalls and how to navigate them.

I always wondered how to make a water container without bamboo. Now i know. Amazing how much water you can get from a grape vine. I was under the mis-conception that fish hooks had to have barbs. Great onfo! I sent this link to my brother-in-law who is putting together his bugout bag. Really enjoyed this video.
