Goodjob Lily and good job on getting bow drill fire.👍👍
I hope the imaginary Lily made it, who had to stay out there and survive the rain and the cold. Now we got a reminder how fast a person can get into life threatening situations even if well prepared and with shelter. Beside a good friend, the next useful item to bring for survival is a thick water repellant fur.
great journey
It’s not cheating, it’s normal for women to have tampons with them.
Hello Lily actually you did quite well.
The the bowl is a difficult way to start a fire.
Natural Flint and Steel and a little (Charred Cloth). You will have a fire every time. Small Charred Cloth can be stored in a little Aspirin Metal Box or the Cough Drop Box, if you want a lot it's. The Secret to starting fires. Easy to make small metal box you punch a hole in it. Take an old t-shirt cut it into pieces large or small and filled the Box. Start a fire Set the Box in the fire. You will see a little Flame come out of the Hole when the flame goes out. You take the box out of the fire and cover the hole with a rock or something. Leave it overnight don't open it. Next day check it make sure there's no sparks.
If there are you cover the box and leave it a while longer. When it's done you take a small piece put it into your dry twigs and grass bird nest. Put a Spark to it and you have Fire. The word survival does not mean in your underwear and shorts. You step out of the house you have pants you have a shirt you have a jacket. If you take a little pack you should always have a (Survival Blanket) one or two of them. They're lightweight, Ferris Large Rod or (Natural Flint and Steel) and (Char Cloth)
Always carry a couple of Protein Bars and Water. They sell Water in little Aluminum bags. Nice heavy duty Knife.
I carry a Cleaver that cuts through the bone or wood 3 in circumference Maple goes through it without hitting it. You just use the weight to pound it through the wood to make your kindling multi-purpose 1 lb.
This time mother nature told me a lesson I will never forget. Not building a shelter is a risky move which works on dry nights, but when it is raining cats and dogs not having a shelter will put you in a life threatening situation. Because I had no cell service or medic at my side I decided to tap out of the challenge, which was really dissapointing. But lesson is learned and I will do a better job next time.
Shelter 1st....even if that is only a shelter for your fire
Once you have made sure of water supply, next most important thing is shelter. Too much energy expended on getting a fire. Work should be proportionate to food supplies.
I didn't feel that using the tampon to start the fire was cheating. In a real survival situation you would use anything that was available, even maybe some fibres from your clothing, or fluff from your pocket. Disappointing that you couldn't get through the night, but considering the mistakes mounting up, and the deteriorating weather you did the right thing to abort the mission. Making mistakes is good, it teaches, not just for you but for all your followers. Maybe this video will actually help someone in a real life emergency situation. Good luck, and we're all wishing you a better shot at it next time.
Exposure can get you in 3 hours. Hypothermia is a real danger.
Well done ! Definitely an excellent learning experience ! And thank you for sharing it !
How to build a shelter for a fire though, without risking to set the shelter itself on fire ? Have you ever made a video on that topic ?
It's good you "failed" Lilly - too often these kinds of videos make it all look too easy, and that can get people in trouble.
Glad you made the decision to stop filming when the rain came. I respect that you showed the reality of making mistakes of not having the shelter ready. It’s easy to simply edit out mistakes but allowing us to learn from them is just as important. I look forward to your next adventure!
lol,.. she would never be able to survive real conditions,.. she is a survival enthusiast, not an actual survivalist lol
@@dr.decker3623 True, she says in the video survive with only a knife (and GPS, Car nearby, first aid kit, flashlight, etc etc etc) Im not saying Im a Survivalist Master, far form it really, my main worry would be mosquitoes and trees falling on my head, take those away and I can do a real video, I can easily survive 24hrs no food, 5 days on just my own urine (dont want to do that ever again unless I have to, my pinky fingers started getting numb and \i stopped the experiment) The lady knows more than I do but she was going to lie about being stranded when she wasnt but then left the part where she has her car nearby, I think she forgot when she uploaded, it does happen, creating youtube videos can be massively stressful and those things do happen, Ive had a few channel believe me, so many youtubers cheat but thats what the environment of youtube is like, theres a guy who |I used to follow he had some videos with clickbait titles like Divorcing my wife or why my sex doll is better than your girlfriend, etc, then realised he wasnt married to the lady, they didnt divorce it was all show to get views, ahh youtube, now you see some thumbnails in the bushcraft area where a woman shows her ass or in a bikini and she will get millions of views, if you are a man you'll get views but ... clickbait thumbs, titles and scripted lies fill the platform, I still like her though :)
Why
@@SciSciToys nobody wants her to die to prove a point man. she explained what she was gonna try to do and she did try. she admitted the mission was a fail, she didn't wake up like "see? told you I would've survived". same with the first aid kit, even the cotton she used, it pissed her off more than your comment pissed me off
@@MumboDjango Im not pissed just saying, many are fake here in YT I know that but she said she was being dropped off by her friend, when she wasnt, they drove together ot he location and made it look like she was being dropped off, when it started raining she ran to her car and filmed it and forgot the story, this can and does happen cause its stressful making videos and one seems to forget sometimes, Ive forgotten about it, the comment was a some time ago, it was just at the time thats what I thought, but now I think yeah she kind of cheated, so what? So Im kind of cool with it now :)
I appreciate your honesty in showing that it didn't work out as planned. You're a very courageous person to do the things you do. Thanks for sharing your inspiring adventures.
Honestly, even though the mission was a "failure" you taught one of the most important (and so often overlooked) lessons. Repeating "I can make it to my car, I can do it." is a golden survival tactic. Once your brain starts to despair in an emergency situation things can go further south hella quick!
Excellent point!!
Lilly I applaud your efforts many folk couldnt even rise to such a challenge....so a learning experience for sure
But your spirit of adventure is Uber Goot....remember
Primitive camping or even survival is not easy... there
Is a series that use to be on the American TV History Channel
Called "Alone" I believe it is out there on U tube if You haven't seen this your missing out it is worth taking in...basically several
People are selected to a
Real wilderness challenge
And it is always done In extreme environments whom ever last the longest
Wins the challenge and the

Take Care
Your fan in Texas
Add carrying an extra tampon... you go Girl 😉
I love seeing the so called “failures”. It’s real life. Badass fire woman!
So she didnt check the weather for that area prior to setting up? tsk tsk tsk.
Lol.
@@Holret she checked & said it's raining..
She was trying to work with what she knew in the moment, because that's all that really matters..
@@wayneeddy3261 so the weather news told her just to look out the window? I doubt that.
@@Holret I doubt that too..😂
As a person who has spent most of my life outdoors, you learn to live with whatever weather is going on at the time...
Failure omission is a real phenomenon. It's great that you didn't just abandon this video because it wasn't a "success".
It's a learning experience either way, but it's one we can benefit of because you were not afraid of publishing it. Thank you for that
Came here to say this!!
I second this comment! Very good attempt and hope Lilly does more!
I know you probably wont read this, probably no one will but this reminds me of a time when I had something similar. For about a week I lived on a remote island in Lake Michigan. A ferry would come a couple times a week unless the water was too turbulent. This was during the summer as well, and the first couple days were perfect. It was great! Then a freak storm happened one night and with no indication that there was going to be a storm I had left the waterproof tent covering off. I woke up around 4:30 am to a completely flooded tent, easily 6 inches of standing water, my sleeping bag was waterlogged, lightening overhead, strong 20mph winds, low 40s temperature and water pouring into my tent. Was absolutely crazy. I poured out my tent and threw the tarp over the top of the tent but by that time the material was soaked too and collecting water on the sides. Getting back into that wet, cold sleeping bag was one of the worst experiences. The next day it rained all day and stayed around mid 40s. My camping stove was soaked and useless. The wood was soaked and useless. There was also technically a ban on all wood fires so even if it was dry I’d still risk getting in trouble anyways. All I had to eat that entire day was 1 uncooked ramen noodles, the flavor packet and water. It was miserable. Then I had to get back into the sleeping bag, which was still soaking. Since it rained the entire day there was no way I could even hope to dry it off either. Luckily for me and my friend, there was a ranger on the island. It was such a walk of shame going to him for some help but he was a really nice guy. Gave us some dry wool blankets, a warm oatmeal breakfast and even hooked us up with a working stove. We had to stay on the island an extra day to wait for the water to calm down. Nature that day reminded me of some things too.
Which Island?
That sucks! BUT, you made it through without needing to be evaced out, so that counts - well done! I've slept out in the rain a couple times to, not all that fun... One occasion on a military exercise (somewhere in Ontario Canada) we were trying to light a Coleman stove during the rain, held a poncho over top while we lit it, bad idea - but pretty cool fire ball and no one got hurt. I think we managed to stay somewhat dry that night. Good times 😃
That was a good read
I think I would never go so unprepared. Even beef jerkey wouldnt weigh that much.
The top of the tent stays on. You set it uphill, not downhill, next to trees or boulders, or your lean-to. Our wild dogs had better prep than that, in the snow.
Serious respect for you. I really appreciate that you documented the difficulties of staying outside. Lots of people pack a “bug out bag” and throw it in a closet, thinking they are prepared. It’s very important to be realistic. I’m glad you’re safe and healthy.
In an emergency situation, the number one cause of death is always "bad decisions".
Like standing there watching the Lava cross your road?
@@joesmith4222 ha the first rule with lava is don't get surrounded.
In many situations the number one cause of death are unwise decisions. Work, home, travel.
@@joriskylie6857 I thought that was the first rule of cowboys and indians???
@@joesmith4222 or eat the lava to get warm
and this video shows how having a home, electricity, clean water & food, is a blessing. a lot of taking that for granted...
Great job Lilly with challenging yourself! Do not look at this as a failure... you endured a real situation which made you learn so much! Using the tampon is not cheating, since it's something we often carry with us. Great job showing the reality of your situation and making everyone realize that's it's not always sunshine and rainbows in the forest😊. Cheers from Ontario,Canada!
This just underscores how every hiker needs to bring a tarp every time. Throw a little polycro sheet in your day pack. It might save your life.
So true
This is exactly why my backpacking poncho doubles as a tarp.
ALWAYS bring a tarp
this was a challenge lmao it is supposed to do not have a tarpe
Kinda hard to do a knife only challenge when you show up with gear.
Most guys hear "honey I'm going out for girls night out" on a Friday. Lilly says "honey I'll be back, I'm going to the jungle for 30 days with just a toothpick and my trousers"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 👍 Now that’s funny right there , I don’t care who U R 🤣😂 ...
😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Arkansas toothpick 🤣
sorry to hear you identify with having a toothpick in your trousers man ;)
lf I'm the one she calls honey..lm going with her ..l dream of woman that like this kind of thing ..very uncommon
It's actually a good thing it ended like this because it shows how important shelter is without any really devastating outcomes let's u learn from it
How did your car get there? You said your friend who I saw driving drove you there and you had to stay because you guys drove for two hours? I'm just wondering how your car got there? I'm glad you had it in you not to stay under the conditions. Maybe next time 🙂
@@lllSherrilll I didn't this about that until you mentioned it.
@@lllSherrilll we left my car farther away, and then i got into his car and he drove me further into the woods
@@SurvivalLilly *Arnold:* *_"Survival Lilly!, Get to the choppa! ... I mean, Get to your car!"_* (Glad you are safe. Hypothermia can be a very serious thing.)
That’s exactly what I heard/thought too 🤔
I'm a Retired Marine from the USA. I've found myself in many similar situations except we have a little more gear. Wet and cold is still wet and cold.
I appreciate your honesty as you could have edited, or not shown the video until 100% success. So in that regard COMPLETE success!!
It shows why even if you are only hiking for the day you should have at least a few items. Lighter, poncho, even if it's just a cheap dollar one.
In real life you can't always tap out...
"The Old Gunny".
Thanks Lily. I know being soaking wet is no joke. You did a great job on the fire and on setting up your camp and doing all you did with only a knife is much more than I have ever attempted. Please keep teaching the rest of us how to be comfortable in the most primitive conditions. Stay healthy.
Equipment can be lost, coat can get wet, etc. Skills keep one alive in the end. Good vid...
Using the tampon isn't cheating, I would call it "improvisation" 🤣 🤣
improvise adapt overcome
Girl power!
So I can use my wife's and actually have a good reason for it? LMAO!
There is no such thing as cheating in a survival situation, only lack of preparation. :-)
@@peyotepete4903 😂😂😂😂
Actually, this was one of the BEST Survivalvideos I`ve ever watched! Because it showed the real world and how really difficult it is, just to survive in a just ordinary night. One big, never-seems-to-end- shower from above and we all will wish to be at home.
When I listen to people who always proclaim, that, if there will be wartimes, they are going into the forests: Just watch this video! Even if you are not halfnaked and have, lucky enough, taken your bug-out-bag with you (and didn`t had to flee quick from your workplace and on your own) it is going to be very tough.
So prepare a hiding place in peacetimes! Thank you very much for sharing this eye-opening experience for us, Lilly!
It was cool that you posted a situation that didn't go exactly as planned. Very honest.
It's always harder for those of us with glasses on top of the rain in the cold
This is why I'm so glad I'm near sighted. At least I can still see what I'm doing in front of my face without my glasses. Could you imagine needing to thread a needle being far sighted? or not falling in a hole?
This is the best Survival Lilly episode ever!! Very risky challenge without tools. You can never count on the weather. Good thing your car wasn't too far away!
I really loved the fact you decided to keep it real.
I don't think you cheated with the fire, you did what was needed, and still managed to do it later. Also, great to see you take the better decision and leaving the challenge, keeping a positive attitude towards reaching your goal and staying safe.
These are the kind of experiences people need to see more often, true experiences.
Love this one!
Definitely not a failure.
Just simple mistakes that built up, however all of them are lessons for the future.
Your biggest success was recognising the rapid deterioration, self preservation is key.
I’m sure that you will learn these things for the future and provide us all with brilliant videos.
Keep it up Lilly 👍🏻
Sometimes it just gets real, you have to survive. You did exactly what you needed to do.❤️
You never fail when you try Lilly. That’s how you learn and grow. Awesome video. Can’t wait till the next one. 🇺🇸❤️
I so enjoy watching her
Moral of the story: always be prepared for the worst! You are an awesome woman, keep the videos coming and keep learning as you go.
This was a good recommendation. I’ve gone out camping with good gear and high expectations before and was still blindsided by the weather and forced to abort. Even if you had made a shelter, it would have had to be pretty extensive for that weather shift. And being on the slope like that meant a risk for a rock slide or something similar in a torrential downpour. You made the right decision. It’s better to escape with your life than to die to prove a point. I think trying again would be a great option, and make choices that you can compare to this experience while creating a new one. Great video! And to all the people talking about your choice in clothing, they’ve apparently never watched Naked and Afraid. I’d never go that far, but a day hiker would easily be out in limited clothing like you were wearing, and that makes it very realistic. Great job!
Theres no cheating in survival!!! Its about learning to work with everything you have at hand!
(As a non participant) I feel one of the things I took away from your experience is to make a shelter first, and then the fire... one can always work under cover, protected from rain as long as it needs to take...
"I'm not risking my life for a TH-cam video." That was possibly one of the most intelligent things ever said on this format.
Thank you Lily for sharing not only your successes but also the failures.. You are the real deal.. cheers.
Bushcraft Arms 💪
Hey Corporal, did you ever see that video awhile back, a survival test where this guy went into the woods with no clothes, no tools, nothing. I know you could do it, wouldn't want to see it though. That would be the ultimate challenge.
I know that you thought the tampon was "cheating" but survival is whatever it takes. I carry a ziplock bag with Vaseline soaked cotton balls. They work great. When I need to make a fire I will do anything. I love when you get excited it's adorable. You reminded me of Tom Hanks in Castaway..."I HAVE MADE FIRE" Keep it going girl I've learned a lot from you.
Good call Lilly. You are right not to put yourself in danger to make a video for TH-cam. Common sense and keeping your head are two of the most important (and oft forgotten) tools at your disposal during an emergency or a survival situation. Keep up the good work Lilly. Take care and stay safe!
Thank you for your honesty. This video actually makes you more credible and emphasizes the real challenges of surviving exposure.
I like how you show yourself stopping to drink water several times during the process. It's definitely important to stay hydrated!
The decision to go back to your car probably saved your life , very well done .
Wise choice. And I respect your courage to still show the video. That shows character. Well done!
I am just glad you are OK. That was an awesome video, Lilly. 🤗
"Get to the Chopper".....OMG!!! That Cracked me up...thanks for a great laugh Lilly...
Nice, but I think Dutch actually said “Get to da Choppa!”
You tried and even without success it was still a learning experience for both you and use. Not a failure. Keep teaching and we all will learn. Thankyou for showing not everything comes out on one try.
Well done, Lilly! I watched the video all the way through, and felt for you. It is easy to make mistakes on an overnight camp, lord knows I've made my share! When it started raining that night, I heard the desperation and panic in your voice... I know how that feels. Much respect, Lilly, you pulled through and showed such strength!
I'm very impressed with your decisions. Walking back to the car not only kept you a little warmer but got you to a place where you were improve your situation. Great job!
"Arnold would be proud of me" "Get to the chopper" hahaha thanks for those comments, laughed out loud ;) Interesting content as well :)
The car makes a perfectly usable emergency cabin.
A mobile tiny home
The reason to have a blanket or blankets in the car is that the human body doesn't generate enough heat to warm the car interior. It does keep the rain and snow off you though.
Quite proud of you Lilly! Success or failure, your attitude is a winner. Something every one of us can learn from you! Thanks for keeping it real.
I give a thumbs up. This is one of the best demonstration you gave us Lilly. I salute for your honesty which in fact taught us so well of how things could be and how to prepare.
Crazy how a 10 dollar tarp would of saved the day. Great video lilly 👌
If only tarps grew on trees lol
Here in the USA you can camp almost any where, including in the city, just like all the homeless.
The difference between camper and homeless: location :)
@@daniel-zh9nj6yn6y The homeless live in the woods also.
But bbq's are not allowed in some places :)
@@oasisbeyond just open flames
You truly are a Survivalist as you made the right choice! Oh by the way well done on making the grass smaller to get the embers going, you are so very skilled.
“ All is well that ends well❤”. Such a valuable lesson in fortitude and determination that doesn’t always equal a planned outcome. I’m sure you put that experience to assist you in the next similar one👏👏.
Sooooo so glad I found your channel again.
We often learn much more from our failures than from our successes. I would love it if you could post a video analysing your steps indicating what you did right and what you did wrong and why. Between that video and this one, you could save lives. Keep doing what you do.
Love your self confidence. Love your honesty in always admitting your mistakes, you never make excuses. Beautiful in mind and body.
Wow this was a good video. And thank you for being real and showing people that it's okay to go out there and try and make mistakes and take notes from that mistake and live to survive another day to do it again. My hats off to you Lilly
I really felt empathy when it rained at night. Bless you Lilly! Well done!
Your response to the ember disappearing made me laugh!
Thanks
Dont feel bad, I tried to test myself by sleeping outside in a debris shelter with a survival blanket in 32f( 0c) weather I tapped out around 2 am , I could have survived but it was so miserable I couldn't stop shivering. And I'm a 275 lb guy, i have natural insulation lol.
You don't need to practice to be miserable. You practice to see how you can be LESS miserable.
@Gary Wilkinson I am also blessed with plenty of Blubber :) but i have also learnt it has limited insulating properties, on the good side as long as you have water you can survive without food longer that those Fit folk :)
Well, you know what Survivorman Les Stroud said, survival is either preparing for the weather or dealing with the weather.
I totally admire you for all you do sharing your knowledge and filming.
Thank you
You were successful in showing just how important it is to be prepared for changes in the weather. Thanks
“Get to the choppa” 😂🤣😂🤣 Classic
Man, sounds like the real challenge is surviving Austrian laws...
Glad you managed to survive the night!!!
thank the idiots that made these laws necessary.
Wow, what a stupid comment.
peope are dumb and ask to be nannied.
If you're in a real survival situation, would you really care about the law?
You are human and have human rights. I'm not saying it is much better here. But we all need to tell these tyrants where they can put their laws that violate our human rights.
I am tired of them taking our rights then selling them back to us.
I’m so glad you made it to your car. I’m very happy you had a blanket in the car for you to wrap up in. You are correct a utube video is not worth dying for.. you are a smart young lady. Be safe, be well, and I will watch again
Ms Lilly.
The world needs more lady’s like you. Seriously. 👍👍👍
*Respect* goes to all the animals who do this without shelter everyday 🦌
Yes definately. They do have fur and lanolin type oils which help. 🙂
And to our ancestors who did it with stone tools all day every day.
You made the right call going to the car.. Thank you. This video is more real than most survival video's because of the rain
Lilly you rock. Loved the honesty of this video and the reminder of good prep work with a tinder bundle can make a big difference in fire making. Thank you for the video
You made the right decision. Great learning video. Thanks for sharing.
This clearly demonstrates how quickly things can go pear-shaped. The weather can be unpredictable.
Pear shaped?=8) the earth is pear shaped we're doomed!=8)
New found respect for "Lilly". She cheated on the first fire but went back and redone it to see where she messed up. Not many people would have done that!!!!
I really dont think she cheated, she used what was available to her. She could have used a piece of cotton material from her shirt or socks, what would have been the difference?
Salute!!! Tough job courting the forest. It is unforgiving Lilly!
You are a survivor Lilly! You took a risk all alone in the Wild...That takes courage, skill & knowledge. Thanks, for the lesson.
*That’s how we learn by experiencing!! Luv your Authentic material.. Awesome to experience the moment w/ You..
😌🙏
It is worthwhile to see when things don't go well. So many videos are about everything going perfectly well for every task. It makes you think about how much skill and practice it takes. A lot went right also and good skills were demonstrated.
She should have said, "It's raining dogs and cats" like the German dude in Die Hard. Then again, Bruce Willis would have terminated her in an elevator
“ Karl …. Sheiften fincer…… the glass SHOOT THE GLASS”
"Hans... bubby."
Glad you tapped out to safety. Stay safe Lily; you are a National Treasure
You're a bad-ass. So good to see a REAL situation, the reality of being out there. AWESOME vid!
This will be a true test. I've been waiting for a video like this.
Did you see the video where a guy went in the forest with no clothes, absolutely nothing on a Survival Challenge? Couple years back.
Not dissapointing to me at all. You learned and taught a lot. The temp has been cold at night here in the Southern US too, sometimes surprises me how much I can get paralized by the shaking in my body. Glad you stayed safe. God bless!
Thank you for posting an honest video. It was entertaining and informative.
This is awesome! Great job. Great learning example for all your viewers!! Hope to see more!!
It’s ok Lilly you still taught us some things so that’s really all that matters. Glad your safe and made it through that mess! Looking forward to your next video-Mechelle
There are plenty of kids in my city who survive perfectly well using just a knife... its why Im moving to the country
Alles richtig gemacht, Lilly. Ein sehr ehrliches Video. 😘
Your persistence paid off. Great job. Funny video shows your human side.
I don’t see it as a failure, it was a survival trip. To survive, you do what you have to do! Using the cotton from the tampon was a genius idea! Now Everyone is going to add tampons to their fire started kit!! 👍 You are awesome and did an amazing job. Congratulations on your survival trip! 😍🤗👍👍
It's a long known fire starter. Tear it open, fluff it up and it takes a flame from a match, lighter, ferro rod etc. Always very useful to have in a fire kit.
It's not quite as good as Vaseline and cotton balls/pads, but it's still a very effective and efficient fire starter in most conditions.
Shows the importance of the order: shelter, water, fire, food. Water was a gimme since she was told it was fine, fire she had to work for, and food she did a little gathering….but skipping number 1 sent her home early.
with no large leaves around she would have had to do an A-frame with branches/sticks and then pile on debris/leaf litter. That takes half a day or more, not enough time to also make fire. It was predicted to be a warm and clear day/night, so she opted for just a fire. But this is Austria, the weather is unpredictable. Warm can become cold so quickly, even in summer. Maybe the shelter would have been better.
@@AwesomeFish12 In her earlier days on TH-cam she showed how to make a shelter from branches leaned against a tree with leaves thrown on top and bows underneath. She knows how to make a shelter. She just made the mistake of thinking the weather would be fine.
Shelter then fire always first.
A simple lean too would have been fairly quick, but that late rain was really coming down.
A quick trip to the local Harbor Freight of the equivalent before hand would have made survival so much more pleasant. Just kidding. Harbor Freight isn't that pleasant. No really. Better to do the dry runs and learn now, than latter. Kuddos.
One of Lily's best videos. "I'm not risking my life for a TH-cam vid" she says. Well, Lily, we wouldn't want you to, either. Plus, seems to me that abandoning plans to stay out all night in order to get to adequate shelter from hypothermia actually does fall under the category of extreme survival.
All your videos teach us many things, this one was one of the most educational . I can't wait to watch my grandchildren watch it with me this weekend, the talk afterward will be great.
Authentic. Appreciate the honesty and real life lessons
One of your best videos to date: evacuation makes it exciting and illustrates importance rational choices.
Glad your safe great job up till the rain, keep up the good work.
water, shelter, food. neccisarry for survival. Im glad you showed everyone the importance of shelter. Love your shows
I have a stripped down tampon in each of my fire kits. Its the best, most cost effective artificial tinder you can buy. Cut off 1cm, fluff it up, and it will light immediately with one strike of a ferrocerium rod.
Throw a mini Vaseline jar in too..👍🏻🔥
I heard that lint from your dryer works well.
A good way to make tender is to rub the sharp edge of your knife side to side at a 90°across your pants, shirt, or any cloth you have to make lint. It works well.
Great idea. Even unraveling some threads might help.
Thanks
Hi Lilly
As you can see from most of the other commenters, this video was a Great success Lilly. Loved it, keep them coming.

You are a tough hardworking kid . Appreciate you are out there doing it .
You did very well Lilly. No one can be faulted for doing the intelligent thing. That is, of course, how we survive.
This is one of my favorite Lily videos. I am proud and thankful you posted it. Personally, I ONLY learn from my mistakes and bad decisions. I learned a lot from this one. I haven't watched her videos in a while, but I am going to return to her channel.
I'm glad that you got out safely. It's easy to underestimate a situation, people do it all the time. Me included. You can't control nature and being out there with minimum resources is very hard. You did what you had to do. I've had to do the same several times. I respect your honesty and integrity for having the courage to complete the video and post it. You've got guts Lilly. I'm a big fan. Keep the videos coming, we'll all be watching.
I'm glad you were able to find your car in those conditions! Weather can change really fast in the forest. I remember going trail running on a warm day, once I was 4.5 miles in, I decided to take a break, but the weather had turned cold and cloudy as the sun set. Large hailstones began falling...I was shirtless and wearing shorts, I had paused for only a couple of minutes before I had to start running back as fast as I could. It was almost pitch black by the time I made it back to my car (having run 9 miles as fast as I could), covered in welts from the 1+ inch sized hail. We all make mistakes, the key is to learn from them! Which you did :)
