Winter Survival- No Gear

- Can I survive? ...with just my clothes, a belt knife, and what I ordinarily carry in my pockets? I'll take advantage of resources; try to get a fire going; build a shelter; and make it through the cold, winter night. The day felt really warm- the temperature reached a high of 44 °F, with bright sun, few clouds, and almost no wind. Late in the afternoon, the temperature started to drop, and the wind picked up. It got down to 16°F with high gusts of wind. Here we see- It's important when heading into the woods to carefully consider what clothes and gear you bring with you. Even if it seems warm and nice when you start the hike, the weather can change quickly. An unprepared person may never return.

This is what it would be like when you're really out there trying to survive with next to nothing. Not as easy as he makes it look.
Good stuff Doug. Thank you
Thank you so much. That's what I was trying to show people.
Might I suggest tieing pack ribs?
This is real OG survival stuff. No fancy folding shovels and saws, no tents and tarps with wannabees fearing of sparks from the fire ruining their stuff. Thank you and im subscribed.
thank you. & nice to meet you
@@DougShoeBushcraft your welcome. Im now enjoying your other videos. keep em coming.
@@stp0570 Nice. Comments like yours keep me going
Wow I know i left a comment earlier but seeing how you take the time to respond to each person is wonderful. You deserve a lot more views 👏 please post more content
It's nice to meet you. Thank you for leaving comments. TH-cam set aside the 1st comment for review for some unknown reason. I had to approve it in order to make it visible to people. Thanks for the kind words. God bless you.
That fresnel / char ember was the icing on the cake . This is one of my favorite videos from you . Thanks for posting this and God Bless You Doug .
God bless you, too
Me too. I like this one best. The man's a genius. I hope he has some candybars.
Another great video Doug, great advice, thanks for posting this.
Thank you. That was a really fun trip
Not bragging or even acting like its cool.. but ive been put in these situations sadly and your videos have actually helped me live another day. Thank you for your post and please keep posting them for me and others you are a live saver for real
I'm not sure why I haven't seen you on here before. Great video. Had I done that shelter I would have gone a bit heavy on the bed and closed up the ends to block the wind and hold in the heat. I admire that you didn't take any back up gear. I still do just in case. Thanks for the upload
Thank you so much. I bring a pack with more gear. I didn't for this video because it was a demonstration of the importance of EDC gear (in case you lose the pack somehow.) I basically ran out of time with the shelter. Yes I would have closed off the ends. But with no axe and no saw, I had to forage for dead limbs and trees I could break by hand. As the supply close to the site was exhausted, I had to walk further and further to find more. I could have built more of a bed. If it was a real emergency, I could have harvested live evergreen branches. But depending on the area and situation, I might not want to do that.
You can only do so much in a day. Darkness will close in and then you must be done for now.
Now that is real survival! Stranded or lost making something out of nothing. I'm impressed!👍
Thank you so much
Nice to see another woodsman follow the true path and not some gear porn photo shoot . First step in being a true woodsman is simple tools and gear with a practiced mindset will go a long ways. Keep up the great video's Doug.
Thank you. It's nice to meet you.
Fresnel lens is a simple tool ?
@@gowdsake7103 easy to carry
I really like how you built your fire against the rock. Many videos show people sitting with their back to a rock and setting up their fire in front of them with most of the heat just escaping into the surrounding air. It has always seemed a waste of radiant heat to me. I can understand the natural inclination to have your back against something solid though. Also loved the fact you just used what resources you could find without an ax or saw. So many people who require actual EMERGENCY shelter in the wilderness are hikers that get lost. They aren’t carrying an ax to chop perfect firewood.
Thank you. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed watching the videos. God bless
I saw a video recently where the guy didn't want to build a fire against the rock because of pollution/Nature/... That wouldn't trouble me one bit. I'm just leaving traces of ancient cave man for future anthropologists to puzzle over! Heh. Against the rock, you have a great heat reflector and radiator that'll put off some heat for quite a while. A trick from Outdoor Boys channel is to build the fire where you plan to sleep and move it before bed. Regardless, even without that and without closing up the ends, as long as there's a fire in there and for a bit after, that's a pretty cozy shelter.
But seriously, there are too many of us monkeys for all of us to get our wilderness on without regard. A little soot on a rock is nothing, but if everybody's gotta make a big, bouncy bed of spruce boughs, that's not good. Strip Nature bare for a gen-you-wine bushcraft experience? Nah.
Thank you for a very simple, very skillful and demonstrative video. Thanks for taking the time and effort to teach us - there's always something for everyone to learn..
Kind regards.
Thank you, Jacques. It's nice to see you here
The Tenth commandment is in danger of being broken here - 'You will not envy..'. Seeing this, the climate, the surroundings, all of it - I just can't help it. And to top it all - a Scripture reading at the end - to bring it all into perspective. Watching from the UK..
It is beautiful. I was blessed to grow up here...
Envy is what drives people to achieve. It is not a bad thing.
@@quercus4730 We are commanded not to envy. Envy is a bad thing because it breeds resentment and unGodly desires that are contrary to what God required of us. I used the word envy reluctantly, tongue in cheek.
@@garethifan1034 In life we strive to do better, we try to be as good as we can compared to those around us. Envy is not bad, jealousy is. I look at a bird and say to myself " I wish I could fly" but I am not jealous of the bird. Many commandments in the bible are just plain wrong, some were correct in the time they were spoken. The new testament agrees with every commandment and prophecy of the old testament. 613 commandments. Read Matthew.
Hi Doug☺, thanks for another great video, and showing us what can be achieved whith very little, as you say if you have it whith you, liked the fire lighting techniques, patience is a virtue, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
Thank you! God bless you & yours
Very realistic and also extreme situation and you still managed it like a pro! Very nice!❤
Natural heater when the stone bolder heat's up. WOW. !
I like doing it that way.
Hey Doug , good Wisches from Germany, the way you make a fire .it`s great,i have never seen that befor.A good trick for me.Hope you have fun of all your time you spend in Wood.By from Germany
My wife's father is German/Scot mix. My DNA tests say significant amounts of German, but I don't know where it's from. I'm descended from very early colonists and Abenaki, so paper records are fragmentary. As far as the fire making- I made an ember on charred punk wood using a fresnel lens. Then my tinder (to get a flame) is dry punk wood. In this video, you can see me collecting that dry punk wood from nature from two different trees. God bless you.
There’s a lot of ‘emergency’ shelters showing up on bushcraft channels that look like log cabins without a front door - crazy overbuilt. This way strikes me as the real thing.
Yes. What you see in the video is what I was able to build in the time I had without an axe or saw. I also had to devote time to collecting firewood.
Absolutely yes
Stumbled upon your channel. Awsome thank you for taking us along.
@@ireland66613 Thank you. I would have replied weeks ago, but I didn't see your comment. I don't think TH-cam gave me a notice.
Ok
Very cool! Thanks and GBU
God bless you, too.
I really enjoy your videos, i also like your shelters and your fire lighting technique. ✌❤
Thank you. And thanks for watching.
Thank you for the great video,The weather very cold If you survived the freezing weather, then you did good.see you back with a new video.
Thank you.
Looooooooooove it!! Should add to title: Man builds shelter of snow with bark!! Great job!
thank you!
I like your calming voice. Thanks for your video.
thank you so much
Amazing video doug. I've been trying to find bushcraft videos like this forever
Thank you. I'm glad you found what you were looking for.

Thank you for the poem. I think it's about clouds and nature giving people happiness and a feeling of gratitude. But I don't speak Vietnamese and (in this particular case) Google Translate isn't helping that much..... But if the poem says what I think it might, then I can relate. I was happy and thankful on this particular trip into the woods.
Nice shelter. Thanks for showing us. Take care.
Thank you. Nice to see you again, Quinn
This is my first of your videos. Good job finding a spot where you could hole up with minimal work and materials. You made good use of the resources available, and returned them to the Earth when you moved on. Great lesson. God bless!
Nice to meet you! & thank you. I walked for a while into the mountains to get away and find solitude, keeping an eye out along the way. There were different spots I saw, but I liked the boulder with the flat side. Also, on top of that little hill was less snow than most places. I wanted to get down to the dirt, if possible.
God bless you and yours.
Why not leave the shelter for the next person?
This was a Very good video. Really enjoyed.looking foreward to more adventures from your Channel. Thanks a Lot. 😃
Thank you. I don't know if you have discovered them yet, but there are more "adventures" posted on my channel.
Doug: I'm new to your channel and I like what you're doing. I wish I had more opportunity to get out into the woods but I do when I can. I believe really bad times are coming and most people in this country are totally unprepared to do anything other than be a leech, a predator, or a victim. I believe you are doing what He has called you to do, as do I.
You have chosen a right spot
Thank you. Thanks for watching
Amazing make do with what you got bush crafting bro I'm impressed with your work and skills you are the best bushcraft I've ever seen and I've seen many bushcrafters on you tube and I'm an avid bushcraft my self you top us all thank you for sharing your incredible skills with us
Here I am. Awesome video
I watch a lot of other outdoor shows but most are gear heavy or staged looking keep it up. I camp similar in style rarely setting up but rather trying to emulate more wild principles it's not always comfortable but somehow rewarding... central Washington cascades paleoethics ...good work homie.
thank you. It's nice to meet a like-minded person
Real survival.. amazing 😍💗💗💗 God bless you ❤️🙏
Thank you. & God bless
People should take notes from Doug maybe there won’t be so many body recoveries in the mountains good job Doug I’m nh native my self love the outdoors
The biggest danger of all is despair. Even without knowledge or training, we're pretty smart monkeys with amazing energy reserves, as long as we don't give up and keep thinking and working to improve our situations.
Great video! Being prepared does make a difference, well said. I just subscribed because I like that you include a Bible verse
Thank you. Nice to meet you here.
This is the real deal people!
Thank you, Dr. Urena. God bless.
Love the quotes
Thank you. I've been trying to encourage people
Hi Doug, great video, I subscribed for sure.
Thank you. Nice to meet you.
Great video I enjoy it coming from Trinidad
Nice. Greetings from New Hampshire, US!
Thank you much. I carry a small pack when hiking, but also have belt and pocket stuff. Stihl sells a light, inexpensive folding branch saw that may interest. Have good day.
That sounds like a good system you have. Thanks for watching & commenting.
I also like your shelter nice view snow beautiful seen 🔥👌 🇵🇰
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
Nowadays we have to learn this SURVIVAL technic to SURVIVE when time comes. ✌️💖🎸
Very true. Thanks for leaving a comment.
Finally a realistic survival vid.
Cool
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I'm working hard to bring you more videos along the same lines....
Love your shelter, anyone can do it. Thank you.
thank you!
Doug would be the man to have on your side if ya got lost in the hills. Just saying
Thank you. You're too kind
@R L Shorty thank you
In most “survival” situations, you’re surviving with the stuff in your pockets. If you have a fully equipped backpack, you’re not surviving, you’re camping.
Exactly. Spread the word
Great content thank you
Thank you so much for watching. God bless.
Super mega 👏👏👏
thank you
Thanks Doug...
Thanks for watching. God bless
Ese tocón de árbol muerto es ideal para hacer una "chimenea". En la base orientada al SUR , se hace una incisión con el hacha , procurando hacer un hueco tipo " estufa " , se prende la lumbre y a disfrutar de una noche con fuego asegurado y sin falta de combustible.
sir where you got tin can with charred material?...and magnifying glass?...the takeaway is have minimal gear if not proper gear go prepared in a situation ( my minimal is good fixed blade hunting knife cigarette lighter matches in swan wrap flashlight firestarter some paracord ) I can put these in my pockets no need backpack for shorter familiar area walk I take these for new area or more challenging situation I may take a few more items from my backpack I keep in car trunk ( bear spray compass water bottle ) or I could take the entire backpack ( everything for 3 day survival like blanket tarp extra clothes saw axe fire kit ( magnesium fire starter matches another lighter 2 candles ) another good flashlight some food, tea some meds first aid towel shawl cordage rope foam mat 2 heavy duty garbage bags water canteen cup. so go into situation prepared
At last a survival video of some use and inspiration.
thank you. I'm trying hard to bring you more
Perfect use of the surroundings. Specifically the rock! Allot of people would of used the rock as a windblock and placed their back to it. Which would of been incorrect...
No gear ? Maybe not much but you sure took the gear you needed
Thank you. I was demonstrating survival with what I usually carry on my person. So, for example, if I lost my pack and had to stay out overnight, this is what I might do.
@@DougShoeBushcraft Thats a pretty good amount you carry just enough but not excessive
Молодчага, так держать.
Thank you. I'm working hard to bring you more videos like this one. God bless.
Awesome Video! Is there an email I can contact you at?
Thank you. My email is doug@dougshoe.com The web site isn't up yet. (Coming soon.) But the email works....
Lover the big stone radiator 😁. Any reason for not closing in some of the open side Doug? Out of time? No more materials close by? I'm just curious.
Also wondering if you got any sleep. 🙂
You hit the nail on the head. I ran out of time and materials. I had to walk further and further to find the things I needed. There was lots more dead wood close by. However, it was too large in diameter and too structurally sound for me to break by hand. Life would have been much easier with an axe and/or a saw. But I was demonstrating spending the night in the woods having lost all that. I did get some sleep, but it wasn't my best night's sleep. A sleeping bag or a wool blanket would have been nice.
@@DougShoeBushcraft You should look at the British smock type kit carry there fore it is always on your person. Cohlogans outdoor gear has a 4" folding pocket saw and metal match cases priced right and simple to dummy cord to your smock pockets there fore your not losing it even if you fall or swept away in water . I'm not talking about weighing yourself down here but small simple lite items can certainly enhance a survival situation using less energy and time to accomplish other tasks. A tiny head lamp and spare battery allow signaling as well as wood gathering after dark to make sure you have enough for the night.
@@treerat6959 Nice. I have EDC lights, but a saw could be good.
How much heat came back from the boulder? It was like a heat sink.
Amen
Would you be able to do an extreme survival in a location with blowing snow, no trees in sight, just plain snow all over the horizon? Or tips on how to survive in such a condition. Thanks!
New Hampshire has trees and brush covering essentially all of the wild areas that aren't lakes or ponds. The exception would be really steep or rocky areas, or on mountains above the tree line. But that has challenges. I was planning a demonstration of surviving with just snow for a shelter. But weather has quickly and unexpectedly turned warm now. Thank you so much for the request. I will have a demonstration like that, but don't know when it will be made.
Good skills, but the all night fire gives me pause. What kind of sleep do you get when you have to stoke the fire all night? How many days could you keep going like that? Wouldn’t it be better to heat a medium (e.g., stones, water, dirt)? What if there’s heavy rain? Could you survive in your EDC without fire? That would seem to be the most practical destination for training and gear selection. I’m not criticizing. Asking myself these questions. This video is infinitely better than watching some fool carry 50 pounds of gear 2 miles to set-up a shelter, fry a steak in a frying pan, and walk back to his car the next morning exhausted and cold.
Thank you so much for the detailed comment and questions. In my videos I try to demonstrate different skills, one or a few at a time, in a methodical manner. The topic of this video was- What happens if I become separated from my backpack in cold weather? Can I survive with just the gear that I routinely carry on my person? The purpose was to get the viewer thinking, so he or she could be prepared in such a situation. The medium I heated up was the boulder and the few rocks I could find in the time I had. Rocks can be hard to find when there is snow cover. I had hiked far into the woods that day (simulating a hiker or hunter who gets into trouble). Night falls early in the winter in the north. That means limited time to find materials, make the shelter, gather firewood, start a fire, etc. What you see in the video is what I had time to do, basically. I suppose I could have rushed or worked harder. But then you add the possibility of injury. I can start a fire in the rain. I've demonstrated that skill on the channel. But there could be times I couldn't make fire. If there was a bad blizzard (for example) and I was very sick or injured, then maybe I couldn't get a fire going. Or if I'm alive 30 years from now, maybe I wouldn't have the physical ability in my advanced age. Some people don't have the skills. Without fire, one technique is doing squats or running in place. If you can't do that, then a technique is tensing up all your muscles (essentially) and relaxing then repeating. But this burns calories. Your body only has so much fat and energy reserve. Without the right shelter, insulation and/or fire- People can die the first night. I'm not recommending that anyone do what I did. Don't do it. You can die. In my own case, I believe I have the skills to keep myself safe. As an adult, I was responsible for my own safety.
gd points
How long would it take to warm that rock up
I'm not sure it would be possible to heat up the whole rock. But even in the short time I was there, I started to heat up part of the rock (the part closest to the fire). So then it radiated heat back at me at times when the fire was lower.
I wish you included because I was Chris to know, how was the sleep? This is def one of the quick better ideas out there
I got some good sleep. It's been a while now, so I don't remember a lot of the details. It wasn't as cozy as having a sleeping bag or wool blanket.
@@DougShoeBushcraft yeah but I'm glad you kept very realistic.. and if I had the limited gear I wouldn't change a thing you did 👍very well thought out
Good 👍 👍 👍
I'm Korean 😅
I sure would have my gear with me
That's the smart thing to do.
Why did you take it apart? Once the smell of fire and you fade away wildlife could take shelter there.
I can't always leave a shelter up. For example, it can be against the rules at town, state, or national park. Thanks for thinking about the animals. That's nice. In that area there were small caves and sheltered areas under fallen trees.
some deep snow
will that rock keep you warm all night? how was your sleep?
I got some sleep but it wasn't great.
@@DougShoeBushcraft ah
Good videos but it would be a lot better if you talked and told us what you were doing or at least had text on the screen saying it. A lot of the video I just saw you messing with wood not knowing what you were doing. Like crumbling bark for some reason and what was that you did in the beginning with the white cloth?
Thank you for the comment and suggestion. When I was messing with wood- once I was harvesting punk wood. At other times I was gathering material to build my shelter. The white cloth was my poncho. I took it off and then made it into a pack. I believe crumbling bark was actually harvesting punk wood
how long ago did you find that boulder and decide it would be a great spot for a video like this ?
that was my first time in the area. I scouted around for a good spot- close to the brook, but not an area that could flood. I wanted a place to get out of the wind. -where the snow wasn't too deep to clear to bare ground. -and enough materials close by to build a shelter and have firewood.
Looks like you had kit items to me what am I missing. Why do you guys tear down your structures if I get cought out in a storm it's easier if I find a partially built shelter than expending 100 % to build one up from scratch and either way that material will eventually deteriorate no matter if it's on a shelter or on the ground.
I defined it as no gear beyond what I typically have in my pockets. I was demonstrating what a person can do with EDC. As far as taking down structures, it depends where I am- my own land, a friend's private property, or state or national forest or park. Yes, I used all natural materials I found on site. So if I had left it standing, it would have just rotted over time and turned completely into dirt.
yup
Uncle Doug you have a knife 😪😪😪😪😪
You making silent movies again? 👍👍
wtf! no gear endorsements! where is your Guci tent?
some people need to make a living
have a sub
Thank you. It's nice to meet you.
🙆♂️🙆♀️🙆👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏~♡
Thank you
Great video as always but you need to do a video with absolutely nothing.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate feedback and suggestions for future videos
Yeah man I read the Bible
Amen
🙏🏼🪶
Thumbs down
Thank you for the input. TH-cam took away the public display of the dislikes /thumbs down. This video is at 72 at the time of this reply. IMHO the thumbs up meant more when you could compare to the thumbs down.
