When I was in the USA, I camped and hunted about 40years. I enjoyed your video, because you are talking common sense not like others. In the winter time, especially with snow on the ground I would wear on my feet cotton socks and wool socks. Would make my feet sweat and be cold. The trick I used was to change out my wet cotton socks, and my feet were happy again

[@Lontokka]

With proper wool socks closest to skin you shouldn't sweat through them.

[@garymucher4082]

Obviously you will never ever make any shelter to make you as warm as 70 or 80 degrees. But the thing you are trying to do is make it as warm as you can without the air taking your body heat off you, to allow your body to use as little energy as possible. And that is the name of survival...

[@jonathanforbes3906]

The clothing needs to be adequate.

[@georgesouthwick7000]

The key to a survival situation is to get out of the wind and to stay dry. By staying dry and out of the wind a person can deal with very cold temperatures. If you get wet and exposed to the wind, you may well succumb to hypothermia in temperatures between 40 and 50 degrees.

[@danny121782]

The real key to survival is always having a marriot or hilton booked, thats how I roll

[@theshapeexists]

I've regularly camped in Colorado in early May where it gets down below 20° F and been uncomfortably hot with basic gear just by knowing how to utilize my environment. I'm old now so I can't completely roughneck it, but I've learned to travel way lighter than all my friends when camping. Leaves more room in the jeep for guns, ammo, and fishing gear

Most people would be surprised how easy it is to fall asleep outdoors with a little bit of comfy padding. Back when I did landscaping, me and my coworker were prepping a job site cleaning it out. The guy bringing out materials was delayed by two hours and we didn't have any other work for the day. Got up in the truck bed with a bunch of tall grasses we had had cut down. Laid down for a second to enjoy the nice spring weather and accidentally fell asleep for 30ish minutes. Was a pretty refreshing nap

[@SurvivalSchoolHouse]

[@SurvivalSchoolHouse]

Lol, nice! Glad you got some value. There are some ridiculous shelters out there, they shouldn't be labeled survival, there's a point where it should be labeled homesteading.

[@butterfinger1171]

@@SurvivalSchoolHouse exactly right. Ive seen tons of so called survival shelter videos. But vast majority are nothing more then camping videos, ..bring along food, ferous rods sleeping bags tarps..etc.. Very few actually illustrate a true survival situation where youve got nothing but your own 2 hands and the clothes on your back.

[@harrymills2770]

Most of them are "janky," to quote the video. People who bought a hand saw or axe on Amazon and think chopping poles the same length all day is how it's done. I look at those shelters and they just look cold. Fine if you're keeping a fire going all night, but not for a good sleep in a cold camp. This is actual bushcraft. Not some kid building a fort or a lean-to, but a practical nest that kept the worst of the cold off him. A decent improv for the landscape, and a lot warmer than some kid's fort or lean-to, that doesn't trap any of your body's heat. I think with minor tweaks, you could've been quite warm and slept through the night, bladder permitting. I'm not going to pretend to know what those tweaks would be, but I think he's got the right idea for that situation, and he would've survived. If he'd gotten more snow, he probably would've been warmer.

[@JackFrost008]

​@@harrymills2770instead of a lean to, make an A frame shelter, 2 lean tos facing eachother on 1 pole across the top 😊

[@harrymills2770]

@@JackFrost008 Heh. A lean-to is much better cinematography. An A-frame blocks the best camera angle! But seriously, I'm more about always having the right clothes for every (informal) situation, especially wet situations. And in an actual survival situation, I want to be lazy about shelter. If I have the proper clothing, I don't need much in the way of shelter, and I'm parceling out my calories like a miser. The conditions that scare me the most are cold and wet at the same time. I always take waterproof tops and bottoms if I'm "out." First rule is to stay dry. Don't leave home without it.

[@Cyproduction]

I can only imagine taking a walk in the woods and you see this apparatus hanging on a tree, and as soon as you want to take it a guy pops out the grass nest saying "MORNING TO YA LIL FELLA!"

[@georgesouthwick7000]

Gathering grass for this type of shelter seems a lot like the formula for getting firewood…..when you think you have enough,collect 5 times more.

[@nihlify]

I've slept under spruce's in snowy conditions. There's often a pocket underneath the base of the stem so all you have to do is to isolate the ground and you almost have a finishes shelter.

[@MogulFarmer]

If you can find them, place/stack rocks and logs around your sleeping bag strategically. These items will raise the draft above you because the wind can’t blow through them.

[@wildthoughts6959]

Rocks tend to retain cold temperatrure unless heated with indoor fire. Better use logs or dry branches. Wood is a much better insulator than rock/concrete.

This is a fine scenario: an Average Fella who has read a bit about bushcraft goes out for a winter walk. He doesn't have a belt knife, saw, or ax with him. He doesn't have rations or a hydration system along 'just in case." IF he brought a friendly dog, they could help raise the temperature inside the debris nest. Speaking for myself, I would bring an Ontario Survival machete. Use that to speed up collecting supple lower limbs and slicing reeds, grasses, or cattails. Making 'hot rocks' would help.

I know it wasn't practical for this given situation, but whenever possible it's best to bring a change of clothes with you that wasn't exposed to outside elements. During the day the clothes you wear absobs moisture and when you sleep with those same change of clothes, it will actually cool your body temperature down at night. A dry change of clothes to sleep in will make you warmer at night. Very interesting shelter you made btw, simple yet did the job. If I'm ever in the need i will remember this.

My issue would be not realizing when it's time to give it up and start building a shelter. It takes several hours, and leading up to those last precious hours of daylight, my mind would be telling me to continue moving in the right direction until civilization is reached. A weed whip would have been great for raking pine needles and cutting grass. Probably do well cutting small pine boughs too. That's all it's good for though. A time saver if needed, but a hinderance if packed along for nothing. Maybe a decent machete would serve all those purposes, plus more chopping chores around camp, plus be less of a hinderance to carry along.

Love these beds! Starting point for any primitive shelter, imo. Beyond keeping you alive, they're actually comfortable. Which will allow you to actually get some quality rest. Great demonstration. The only thing I would add is some discussion at the end about improving the function by always carrying a poncho and a woobie/bivy/space blanket with you. The poncho/woobie would be the best as they would be part of your clothing, and the woobie is breathable (+ insulating). Poncho covers the top (wind block and keeps debris in place). The woobie, etc, makes a taco inside that makes getting in and out more efficient. The space blanket downside obviously is that it doesn't breathe, so condensation would be an issue. Again, great video. I'm glad to see these practical solutions are starting to be seen more on KZbin.

I place one in each front pockets of my pants. This keeps the blood in your legs warm and that goes along way in keeping your core warm. Now that you are warm and toastie you can start doing something about things that want to eat you.

Michigan is cold for sure, I’ve been real cold on multiple motorcycle rides and those would’ve helped back then

@@SurvivalSchoolHouse if you still ride, or just travel in a car,you never know. They don't cost much or take up much room. The time to get them is not after you need them. I love watching these bushcraft videos. There are a lot of good ideas, if you have the time to implement them . The first two things you must do. Stay warm, and hydraded. After that with a stash of Payday candy bars. I could conquer the world, well maybe not,but I will keep those pesky critters away

There is a lot more to life than this ❤

😂 that's what I use during my spring bird hunting. I build a tarp lean-to, filled with alot of grass I gather then set them against the same birch tree I use every year👍 It's warmer than my bed at home😁

It's the best sleep quality I ever get, I always look forward to going to hunting camp. Food always tastes better when out in the Alaskan wilderness👍

Well done, you invented sleeping in the hay!
