"Your brain is the finest survival kit you will ever have." I took FAA physiological training course (chamber ride) in 1990s when they arranged these at AF bases. One topic they covered briefly was survival and they showed a chart where statistics show the will to survive makes up 80% of the success stories. They also presented percentages for those faced with extreme weather situations that 2 to 5% feel they are too smart to die as it will never happen to them (I never understood this). And then there are the 2 to 5% of those who are too stupid to die, they will survive no matter what. Extreme weather survival training will increase their comfort. For the vast majority feel they can survive but extreme weather survival training will help their chances.

Best 'cotton pickin'' survival film ever made! Wonder how much money the Air Force spent on this 'masterpiece'?

[@adirondacker007]

I grew up in the Adirondacks. I've been "a hundred yards from my own tracks" a few times. My best advice when you're balled up in the woods is to stop moving and make yourself to home. Like it or not, it's your home at that point. I typically build a campfire. I don't even light it. It gives me a few minutes to back off the problem and figure out where I screwed up, or to put a plan together. I've never spent an involuntary night in the woods. If I ever do, I'm prepared.

[@mjk6618]

Awesome! My thoughts exactly.... Sometimes just taking pause can give you the best edge!

[@j.khuster2024]

Exactly. Panicking will get you killed in unfamiliar situations.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

This jerk used fire starter bricks when he had pine needles for kindling. I don't think he'd make it.

[@timothyfirth4809]

I was a walker when I got lost for a bit but smart enough to navigate in one direction to hit a fire road grid system in the woods and that lead me to a home and got a ride back to my car

[@LawtonDigital]

What's going to kill you? In descending order: - severe injury (minutes/hours) - exposure (hours/days) - dehydration (days) - starvation (weeks) In descending order, those are your priorities. Most people who survive wilderness situations: - are rescued (hours/days) - walk out (rare) In descending order, those are your priories. In short: - treat your injuries - protect yourself from the elements - make yourself findable - conserve your energy - wait

NOW ( don't let them fly any higher than 10ft off the ground, so they can't crash down hard . slow low and steady as she goes... or ...be captured or killed you basically have to deal with the situations as they arise

[@MarioMastar]

@@brandtbuchanan5526 Amen. Good training will help you keep rough track of where you are or where you landed. The issue with these videos is they kind of assume these men were never trained for this given how quickly they panic (and in the multi person jungle and desert videos, leave thier own comrades to die without a care for them). Only a couple of them are genuinely good like the solo desert one where the guy really was in the worst case scenario and still survived, and the arctic group one is pretty good with how resourceful the men were despite the mess up. So it wasn't just lack of common sense that caused the dillema, but just a bad decision and bad luck. Plus the arctic group survival one is the ONLY one where they actually brough up the general map of the search area. The group DESERT one had the leader of the squad take out hte map after 4 DAYS of sitting in the desert and was like "Oh. there's a base nearby...." and then he ended up saving his men.... wasted complete time just to be the hero. it disgusted me.

With your first fire. Cut some of your shirt tail or spare cloth. Char it as best you can next to the heat without setting it alight. Store in small pieces for future fire starter. Learn different ways to make portable and long lasting "slow matches" for future fires. There are quite a few ways depending on local resources of burnables.

[@mrrustygray]

But he was dead! In my time at a certain AFB, while in the Army, we were the group that "hunted" pilots. We all spoke different languages, so it was fun to yell at them in Chinese or Russian or Vietnamese, chase them, catch them, and "torture" them, (all we could was yell and restrain) but it gets real. Read up on the Zimbardo study. Usually 12-24 hr hunts. I hope that those pilots realized it was to help them.

[@PlasmaCoolantLeak]

I had a friend whose Army Reserve unit did that with ROTC units. He would scream at the students in Cantonese and broken English, "You die tonight, Maline!" as did the other members of his unit.

They had a very "kill or be killed" mentality back then... it was clear the army was less about survival and defense and more about bloodlust.

They shouldn't have opened with him losing the survival kit the way he did. it's his own stupid fault and by extention, the military's fault for not training this guy properly before promoting him. If he freaks out after a crash land and his first instinct is to run scared like he's never been outside before, then what is our military DOING? I'd have liked it better if it really was a complete accident like the Tundra version, where the pack was parachuted down but they never could find it despite efforts. at least that one was more a "Worst case scenario, you can still survive" and not "Despite being a dumb8ss, you can survive".

[@MarioMastar]

@@jerrynewberry2823 Yeah, I get they were trying to show the worst case scenario that leads to survival, but my takeaway is they aren't training these men properly before throwing them to their deaths in this war if the first instinct is to panic run, since it implies he's still too used to civilian life where the nearest "taxi" will take him out of the middle of the mountains. and if shock is enough to make him do that...shock would be enough to make him fire on his own teammates if he got even slightly agitated.

[@manbeefcake]

An awesome, wholesome video. Too bad no one is interested in quality products anymore. Quality is irrelevant to or unnecessary for profits.

[@MarioMastar]

Hollywood made these too, and there's evidence that they're kind of going more for spectacle, humor and bits of propaganda than actual useful information (such as emphasis on ALWAYS listening to a higher up in a survival situation even if he's a complete bonehead who does things by a book written by some politician hired guy who avoided the draft.) Modern videos tend to focus on every individual learning leadership skills and working together as a team to survive, rather than the "Every man for himself, but all under one man's rule" mentality they had back then. If anything it's a good lesson in reviewing how policy could be treated better. BUT that said, they are entertaining and fun to watch and for what it's worth the video is wholesome as the men do survive (unlike some other ones...the Group jungle one disgusts me, they left the pilot to die and showed ZERO regard for his well being, even the narrator acted like he deserved to die because he was unlucky and separated from his team upon landing.... Horrible horrible video despite teh really cool camp site the team built.)

[@ElHombreGato]

Remember.... Rest the raft RIGHT ON TOP OF YOUR CAMPFIRE!!!! Am I the only one who noticed that at 12:35 ?

How this guy became an airforce pilot without even doing boy scouts I'll never know... Fortunately they fixed that in the Tundra version that came later as they actually put the fire out BEFORE resting the plastic raft on it. This guy relies on the camera crew....

[@MarioMastar]

Depends on why we're in such a situation in the first place. A lot of us would be willing to kill for survival if it was our only option, but to join the army just to be forced into situations where you have to, there's at least 3 degrees of "You just wanted to kill" to get over before you're in such a situation. We may be "Soft", but we're not throwing our lives away just to brag about killing a rabbit.
