- Panic! That's what your first reaction is going to be when you realize that you're lost in the woods, and what you choose to do next will determine whether you live or die. The quote, "What's it gots in its pocketses?" (The Hobbit) comes to mind...

Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If you're into being off-grid and boondocking or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!

If I get lost I'm calling Linda.
A couple of items I carry as well are spare eye glasses, a fusee for starting fires with wet wood and a army surplus poncho that doubles as a make shift shelter and finally a small section of duck tape wrapped around my trekking poles. But the Garmin Inreach is now our latest addition thanks to one of your previous videos. Also my wife and I both carry a compass as electronics are never a sure thing. As always Thanks for another informative video!
Thanks for the additional tips, Gary.
Ahh, yes, spare glasses. Adding that to my pack right now. ✅️
I can’t think of anyone I’d rather get lost with, than Linda, she would save my butt, guaranteed!
I have spent years camping and hiking in the deserts and mountains with my dog. A couple of years ago I found myself lost in the desert and low on water. If it wasn't for my dog finding our way back to camp I would probably died .. No matter how experienced you think you are, It could happen
Hey Rick great video, when you emptied your pockets you overlooked your cell phone which you can have a compass app installed that can be used offline, no cell signal needed !
When I was a teenager, my dad always bought me a bag of sunflower seeds when we went hunting...if you got lost, you could follow your trail of spit out shells back to where you came from. Here on the Oregon coast, staying dry is priority one, so we always carry a large trash bag on each of us to use as a tarp or parka. I always have my car keys on me, so I keep a small ferro stick and pen knife on my key ring. I used to have a tiny flashlight on it, but it died. I should probably replace it.
This is most definitely one of your better videos and that's a hard choice to make.
I hope a lot of people watch this and heed your advice.
Thank you guys both for making this video your advice is quite stellar.
Thank you, Bill.
Good tips 👍. I always carry a lighter and a compass. One good tip is to periodically stop and take a look back at the trail. The trail always looks different on the way back. And I try to make mental notes of landmarks.. big stupp , large bolder , ext. Safe travels Perry
“you don’t know everything about me” 😂 With what Linda has with her you guys are prepared!
I carry a "go" bag in my car. But wouldn't help if I were out trekking in the woods. Probably need to take a look at what I have to see if anything needs changing or replenishing. Rick and Linda...you guys are awesome! Thanks again for your great survival advice!❤🙏🏻
I like to carry a knit winter hat in my goin' for a hike bag. It is important to keep your head warm in an emergency, but mainly I use it as a pad to sit on to keep my bum warm, dry, and comfortable.
Excellent advice !!!
What a well done video 👍
I thoroughly enjoyed this. What great advice from both of you thank you so much for doing this video it's a great reminder of what could happen and be prepared.... and on a side note you two crack me up😂❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
You don’t know everything about me. LOL. Best thing I’ve heard all week. Thanks for taking the time to show us your gear and sharing your knowledge
People need to learn to use and navigate with their CELL PHONE when there is NO SERVICE. Everyone has a cellphone, they are NOT useless without service!!! It takes a few seconds to DL a offline maps of the area you'll be in, prior to losing service.
You could do a whole video on this.
Exactly.
You're right about the offline maps. Thanks for bringing that up, we all learn from each other.
Super video you two. Although my husband and I are not really the camping and outdoor type in our older age are two daughters and their families love to camp in the Rockies of Alberta and BC close to their homes. After seeing your video we are going to put together a survival pack something like Linda showed on the show tonight. This would be great for them to have when they are camping and doing their hikes way out in the bush. Thanks for all the tips and ideas that you helped us out with. We continue to enjoy your videos. George and Alison
Thank you, George and Alison!
Interesting, I just read this story yesterday, (A 74-year-old man who got lost while hiking in northern Arizona last week was found dead with his dog, who survived, by his side).
Yes, read about that too. So sad. The dog was in very bad condition but did survive.
It would be great if you could post a list of the items in Linda's pack. She is well set.
Aloha, thanks for the wonderful video. Seeing Linda reminded me that every year I was on Oahu the fire department would have to rescue some careless visitors who got lost. The one thing they always stressed was “stay on the trail'’. Good advice to me.
Great tips... this information can really save a life ! BTW - Another good tip if really lost is if you happen to reach a river, simply follow the banks of it downstream. Eventually, it will nearly always lead you to a population center. Good luck and stay safe !
I'm hanging with Linda.😊 Never underestimate flat open terrains and consider what is the most valuable commodity for the environment and ration it to yourself. I have friends who went to desert to have a cookout just off the road. They cooked about a hundred feet from their car and decided to leave before the sun went down but they couldn't find their car. They repeatedly tried the car remote to locate it but were so confident that they would find it that they drank the last of their water supply mostly from anxiety. 10 hours later they walked upon their car that was parked in a depression in the landscape. They never located all of their cooking equipment that they slowly abandoned during their search, they have no idea how far away they walked. If they hadn't found the car the next day they wouldn't have survived without water and 100+ degrees. Their experience changed how I viewed the "flat" desert.
We spend a lot of time in the desert, and I can see how that could easily happen. I'm really glad it turned out ok.
Careful Linda.....I bet there's plenty of gals who'd like SOME RANDOM GUY. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice knife.
Linda # 1 camping partner she's prepared how did she get all that in a little back pack
Follow the sun rise and sunset.
A very good video. Thanks. Excellent information.
You guys are cute.
The "stop and think" part is so extremely important. Also the part about keeping a mental map in your head. As you travel, pay attention to your landmarks. And stop and look back, to see what it looks like coming back.
"Stop and look back" - Exactly! I do this every time I park in a large parking lot and point out the view to folks with me. "That's the way back to the car." In the woods the "going back view" is even more important.
Great survival tips, Rick and Linda.
Stacking stones or twigs and branches periodically along the way can be surprisingly helpful, as well.
@@jeffpoplin558 I like that part about telling others, too. Just the act of telling them cements it in your mind. And it helps train others, especially the young, to think that way too. And you never know what might occur that they have to return to the car without you.
Now if I can only remember to do it every time I go to Walmart!
I get lost going to the kitchen🤣
Very good topic Rick and Linda. As I go out into the woods i tag my path in an unfamiliar area with small ribbons or string and I collect it on the way back to camp. Also, you can use anything like rocks, etc with a light color marker mark on them. boy scout thing from the 1960 era. Always water and poncho with cotton balls and vaseline and fire starter.
Scouts and caring fathers taught us a lot as kids.
@@gonagain Yes sir!
watch TH-camr channel Corporal Corner. Teaching how to survive outside with what is available. Four sticke, long poles, builds a wind block for you and your fire, tarp and poles build a shelter. Always carry protein bars and protein pills. Heavy mil garbage bag, folded and carry in pocket or pack, he has a lot of good ideas. Blessings
If you want to try something .... take apart your old "Barbecue Starters" .... even the Dollar Store ones ... once you break them apart inside next to the trigger is a spring, a coil, inside that coil a small magnet, a tiny capacitor and two wires .... it's about a half inch in size ... when you push down on it you compress the spring ... the spring then releases and quickly pushes the magnet through the coil which by induction creates a tiny electrical charge ... that charge is built up and stored in the small capacitor until it releases itself between the gap of the two wires as a spark .... there is no battery involved .. this tiny apparatus will always be able to spark unless you try real hard to break it ... it's made of nylon plastic .... I take those barbeque starters apart and put the mechanisms in places where I can just leave them and forget about them ... like in my vehicle, in back packs, coat pockets and pouches or with stuff I might carry around ... they won't catch fire on their own .. they won't be affected by moisture and take up almost no space ... it's like having a reusable match lying around for an emergency ... and they are mostly just thrown away ..
That's something I hadn't thought of. Thanks, Richard.
I love your posts but the main thing you missed was when you arrive at your site find a land mark a mountain, rock formations what ever and remember where you are in accordance ... And Linda great pack crushed up ramen noodles and seasoning packs are very light weight and consumable. Pine cones also are fast hot burning feul but what you suggested are life savers.
Good stuff. Thanks, Bruce!
for the ventureers out there or hikers, dollar store , or 99cent store or your best friend before you venture out. bic lighters i use gauze soaked in lighter fluid in a plastic sandwich bag, cotton balls, . 1 day i bought 6 bags of cotton balls, and thank god i took them with me, insulator for the cold night, packed them in my jacket, my shoes, tied the bottom of my pants above the ankle and filled more in the pant legs, but now its a emergency bag, 10.00 .
Interesting video...!
One thing though... I don't know why the survival manuals and everyone professes that always going down hill or following the water will lead you to safety.
The reality of it is that if you choose to take this advice you only have a 50-50 shot of it taking you to safety. It may lead you to or through an area that is worse or more dangerous than your starting point!
Thanks for the video...
Thank you for the great advice. plan to pack better for my hikes. love watching you, I learn so much.
Thank you for a very informative video, hopefully will save many lives..👍🤗
Is there a way to communicate a drone with a Garmin device? Thick tree cover can block satellite service but sending and receiving messages via drone could work. Also, the drone with a camera would allow views from above the tree line that could be most helpful. Nice video!!
love you both a ton. thank you. we can find ourselves in a sticky situation. I agree be prepared. It could be a matter of life or deaths
Watching your video brings back that panic feeling! Happened to me 50 years ago, ended up I was close to the car too. Ever since that incident I’ve become like Linda and gathered items that would help me to survive. Now the drone goes in the pack too! Great video!
A drone is a good tool to have in those situations. Thanks, Cvx2dog!
Very good information sometimes people don't think and you need to think when you're out there
That is all good advice hope people will lesion and learn! and ALL stay safe thank you!
Low probability of you two savvy folks getting lost.
Bear spray just pisses them off. It's good for racoons 🤣
Tyvm for all the information you 2 care to share,too many lives needlessly lost
Great video. Thanks for the pointers.
Again, great tips Rick and Linda. Thanx. I only got lost once but it was scary, and it got pitch black and I had no flashlight, no food or survival gear. I got to the point where I fired my rifle three times, a couple times, I was running out of ammo, and I knew there were campers within earshot, but they never fired back. Luckily I finally saw their tent glowing thru the trees. When I got up to them, they said "Was that you that shot?" I said "Ya think?" Why didn't you fire back so I knew which direction to go? He said he had some guys out on the road looking? I said really? I think if I'm on a damn road, I can find my way out... duh? So, I might add, if you hear those shots, fire back so they know where you are.
That's a good reminder about the 3 shots. Here in Montana, we hear shots while out and think that's someone who's plinking or shooting at varmints.
@@gonagain They taught that here in hunter safety class, that I took when I was like 12. (almost 50 years ago) Too bad others weren't paying attention...
Always sage advice on this channel !!
Great content and advice so much food for thought I am planning my carry along bag. Thank you.
Excellent video...i reckon you have about covered all the basics and then some...this video might just help to save a life some day!...atta girl Linda!...Dave
MTwoodsrunner, I used to get inspiration from YOUR videos!
It is easy to get lost. It is good to have a compass
great one! THanks for sharing and I would want to be around Linda's pack:) Had to LOL about her getting kicked out of girls scouts! I go kicked out of Cubs.... ALL THE BEST and take care! Cheers :)
I got kicked out of Boy Scouts. We belong to an exclusive club!!!
@@gonagain Must be!!!! THanks MUCH!
I always have some rope also , good for a tarp !
Such great information. So happy you were not really lost. Great Video.
Thanks, Betty Bear!
Thank you I needed this info
Great info Linda-thanks❣️ Oh-and you too Rick🌹. So very nice to see Linda healed & back enjoying adventures with her hubby again 🙏✌️🌎💞
Yes, she's doing a lot better. She's made more improvement this last week.
@@gonagain Can't keep a good woman down 😁💞
Hi Linda, HI Rick. Smart information here, the Basics for survival for sure. Good Video. And Me??? I'm Always camping, trekking and exploring 'Alone' except for Bruzetta. She is one Great Dog for Companionship and Security but can't drive me to safety. So, that Garmin is Next on my list. Maybe one day there will be World-Wide cell coverage, but that has yet to happen. (Rick, that EcoFlow Wave, is actually $1200 on its own without an additional tag-on battery. If only there was a way to Know for Certain if it can Truly Cool a 12×7×7 insulated cargo rig???) This Situation absolutely needs to be addressed. The Heat Switch will be flipped within a week. Ut Oh 🥴🤔
I watched Hobotech review the EcoFlow Wave and it looks like it works ok, but uses a lot of power. Do you own a generator? If you have one of proper size, then it may be best to run a 5,000btu window AC unit. They're cheap at Walmart.
Very informative, thank you both.
Glad to see Linda and you to see you,. Both.
Thanks for your kind comment, Olivia.
Great information you two...People are always telling me to get lost. So far I've always found my way back. Hahaha
Tell them no worries, your pockets are full!
Good, advice. For bears, I have 40 s&w, 45/70 gov, and 12g shotgun. I also carry bear spray, but like you said no good in the wind. Have fun, Mike
Yes, it varies according to your situation. In Alaska, the native inhabitants have taken to ARs the last few years. One explained that 30rds of amour piercing works, even on Brown bears. That made the AR a great choice for a survival gun because FMJ doesn't destroy the meat as much and could be used on small game as needed. interesting and thinking outside the normal box.
Got lost a few times. 2 times while hunting. One time with a deer I shot. Another, my car boke down on the way to a friends house. Couldn't find his house. Had to stop and decipher. If I got lost over night hunting, I had my knife, lighter and TP. Didn't give much thought back then. Young and dumb.
Thanks for sharing that, Bert.
Thanks for Sharing U 2 this video just may save someone's Hide one day because they watched !!
Hey you may never need some of those items , But you have them , just in case you need to use them...
Well done with wisdom for ALL .👍
Take care and Enjoy All.
Thank you, Murray. We're also learning from our viewers about other things to have along. Hope you have a great weekend!
Great video guys. I really enjoyed this one.
I carry a lot of stuff in my pants pockets and in my vest. Just went through my small game hunting rucksack yesterday. It's "mostly sticked, but there are a few things I need to add to it.
I always have my GPS with me when hunting, and I always carry plenty of spare batteries for it too. The first thing I do when I get to where I'm going is to mark the location of my truck as a waypoint. This way if I get turned around I can just go into my waypoints, click on my truck and it will take me back to it.
Excellent EDC pack for everything! Nice thought for every emergency, every situation for he and any partner you travel,hike with.You two are awesome presentors.Every survival too one could share thanks!!
lucky
Can u now make a video from all the things u had with you to make a make shift camp of the things from your pockets and back packs so we have a visual thanks glad Linda is healing so well..Godspeed
Greetings from NC
Thanks, Candy, I'll give that some thought.
Great video. Lots of good to know ideas. Having had the experience of getting into trouble within 2 miles of my home in moutains you never know what will happen to you. Little things can sure save your life. Thanks again
Excellent discussion. Another valuable tool not mentioned is how you can keep track of your direction of travel by being aware of weather. Keep up with forecasts and the general wind direction that is present for the day. Cloud and weather movement can generally be related to compass direction in the short term. While terrain features can alter wind direction at the surface, just keep an eye on the clouds. They can be very revealing.
Very good point, Dogpatch75.
Isn't that why bear spray is gel based now?
Wind isn't going to affect that unless you're in a storm. Then you got bigger problems anyway.
I'm not aware of an upgraded bear spray and I'll certainly look into it. Thanks!
Good video my friend. Lot of useful information. One thing you didn’t have that is really good to have is two or three contractor garbage bags. You can cut a hole for your head and pull them over you for a rain coat, fill them full of pine needles or leaves for a soft bed to sit or lay on. Ground cover, wind breakers. Lot of useful things for a big garbage bags. A tube tent is another handy thing. They come in a bag as small as a space blanket. If you can know the edible wild plants in your area is good. The best thing is to mark your trail in unfamiliar areas. Take care.
Great tips, especially about more uses for the garbage bags. Thanks, Willis!
Thanks for the advice. I have to go through the daypack in preparation for camping season here in Montana this year. Good times.
Good plan. I need to replace the energy bars and go over my medical kit.
Thank you for the awesome advice. I carry a pack but after seeing this video I have several items I'm definitely going to add!
Glad it was helpful!
Great reminders and I really liked that survival tip bandanna I’m going to look those up and purchase one or more. PS - I love the way you love one another it’s just the cutest thing. I’m so happy I found your channel long ago
Thanks for sticking with us, Cathy.
Great advice
Great video, so useful. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Linda wins! Well, you did have the Garmin in-reach…
Thanks for noticing that!
I never say lost I say I’m just disoriented
Me too, and I've been disoriented a few times!
By morning my nose is going to be headed towards the nearest coffee pot It May even start to run
I hear ya!
Very informative, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Linda is my soulmate! I can feel my kids rolling their eyes at all the stuff I bring on a little hike! Impressed you fit it all in that small back pack!
I actually still have plenty of room for goodies.
What about a hand held GPS so you can mark your camp location and find your way back to it? Nice video with good tips and ideas. 👍
👍
Yep....I'm going hiking with Linda. 🙂👣🚶♀️🚶♀️
That's scary and easy to do. Been there done that lol
Nothing like learning through experience! Thanks, Ann.
Great video Linda and Rick
Thank you, James.
Thank you both for the information and advice love ❤️ you guys
I guess I'm just too darn high tech. I always backpack an Amazon Fire HD10 tablet and a foldable solar panel for it. I've nearly maxed the storage with survival manuals, photos for plant ID, and videos on bush-craft. Plus it's also nice to have some MP3 files of Native flutes for a starry night in a bag.
Oh, and more to the point... it has maps and HD aerial views. Hard to truly get lost... just saying...
It really just boils down to learning woodsmanship. 50 years ago, venturing into the wilderness without woodsmanship was like diving into a lake without knowing how to swim. People just seemed to have some sense, and some awareness of consequences. These days people have a notion that there is a contract with nature where nothing bad can happen to them. They also expect technology to be a safety net. Cell phones and even GPS type emergency devices very often fail in a crisis. There have been many cases where lost hikers have been found dead WITH a GPS signal device that did not function. Extreme cold, a dead battery, or being in a circumstance where the device cannot see the sky, can lead to failure. Sometimes the very first time in life that young people confront consequences is when they are in a life threatening circumstance. It often leads to their death. Maybe if they had fallen off their bike without a helmet a few times, they would have more respect for consequences? Every generation seems more clueless than the last. I encounter these people all the time now, wearing flip flops, shorts, carrying nothing, and walking down the trail jabbering and oblivious to everything around them. I just make the sign of the cross and walk on. Sorry for the rant. Here's a tip that might help. Any time you are out hiking, stop every now and then and take a good look behind you. Make mental notes about what you see. Notice landmarks, and details that you can check off on the way back. Be aware of time. It's surprising how different everything will look and feel going back. Very often people will turn around at the end of a long hike and realize that nothing looks familiar. They quickly wander off course, and become "lost". Millions of dollars every year are spent recovering these people, and I really think that people must start taking more responsibility. Maybe even buy insurance to cover the cost of their recovery. I was a member of S&R for many years, and most of the callouts were for things that could have easily been prevented.
I have a bag just like Linda’s…she’s packing the 10c’s of wilderness survival. Great loadout you too, Rick. Great tips. Thanks again for another great informational video. Have a blessed day.
You and Linda would get along great. She even practices with her slingshot frequently. Oh, get one with flat bands, they shoot better.
@@gonagain I was just thinking that same thing…come on Linda show me you #slingshotchallange video 😉😂🤗
Great video! Your first tip is the best! When learning to scuba die my dive instructor drilled into us, panic you die! He was the dive instructor for the Navy Seals at Pearl Harbor. Saved my butt more than once!
Rick got his scuba certification at Makua Beach. I was hapai at the time so had to sit that one out.
@@gonagain what year as that is where I did my certification dive! 76 or 77. Wouldn’t it be a small world if he was in my dive class. Doc was my instructor and I was Naui certified.
Never get lost in the mountains.
Always get lost in the Arizona desert because it all looks exactly the same. Be very careful especially in the summer!
Hey! Next time Linda is
Going thru her stuff, let
Her say what's in there! That was annoying to see
Her go thru HER pack &
You hover so you could say
What You saw before her!!!
Maybe you could learn from her & carry some
Thing more than you did!!!
🤗
I always carry a Brunton compass and peanut butter, water in my backpack, Can survive for days. Getting lost is no fun!
A U.S. Military Surplus Mosquito Net in summer time.
So very informative. Thanks to both of you. You have so much wisdom between you.
I always wear a watch with hands and can use the watch as a compass; it is not perfect but will get you close. Knowing that mosses grow on the north of trees, rocks, and most hard objects. Always go in as a team and have topographic maps of the area; never go alone, not unless you have the skill to get un-lost! Even the best of us still get lost for a few minutes.
I've been confused in the woods! It was enlightening.
@@gonagain can be very enlightening! : )
Great video, you've made me think about getting necessary survival items. Thank you both!
A simple, inexpensive pocket compass can be a lifesaver on a short walk in the woods, or accidentally losing sight of your camp.
Good video 😀 but I don't think they will remember what you said I'm a backpack so I bring everything 1lb tent 1 gallon of water rain gear 2 emergency blankets food jacket GPS first aid kit this stays in my truck all the time clif bars even for day hike but your videos are helpful I'm in California the desert 🏜 is a problem and so is the mountains lots of rescues
Great video guys! Linda is so organized! I want to be Linda some day!
We used to spend lots of time up in the Blue Ridge hiking, fishing and biking. We always carried a 1st aid kit (which came in handy), water of course, we were lucky to know of several springs where we could refill, snacks, tarp, emergency blankets, flashlight, bandannas and a knife. You can’t carry firearms in the Shenandoah Park.
Oh I think my husband carried camping matches. We never got lost, thank goodness.
I'll tell ya, If You personally ever forgot or don't have something, Linda's got ya covered.. lol 👍🤠
10 mm auto was a good recommendation, Rick. Thanks.
this is probably one of the most important and interesting subjects in survival.
I love this video! I'm going to make my young teen watch it! What a great thing to film just before summer adventures. It got me thinking about how I keep a roll of mason line (bright pink) in my tool kit for the box kite I keep in the car. I'll be moving it into my go bag for sure. Maybe the kite too for visibility. You guys are awesome! Thanks again for the dry run.
In the PNW they say walk up to find a logging road. Walking down you end up in a cold dark valley usually a river and thick brush.
