you are one of the few survivalist/preppers on youtube i actually respect. there's so many out there that just babble nonsense and can barely make it from their couch to their car before getting winded. lol. keep up the good work bro.
Retired Sere Instructor, we upgraded BLISS to BLISSS (Blend in, Low in silhouette, Irregular in shape, Small, Secluded, and survivable). The reason being, some students would build their secluded shelter in dangerous areas, ie widow makers above, rock slide areas, or flood zones.
This is a very good video on keeping a stealthy shelter and site. I agree, there is a big difference between bushcraft and survival, just as there are also two very different approaches to survival depending on whether or not you want to be found. I think the BLISS acronym is useful in either case, if you are trying to get found just do the opposite of each part. Thanks for doing such a good job of explaining the BLISS principle and showing such clear examples. - Bryan
Good points / after I got out of the army in 79 it was hard for me to adjust to camping out in the open - I was very uncomfortable with it and still today I try to camp close to cover
In 2017 I went into the north Georgia mountains and buged out for 180 days...I started in the last of summer and went into winter...with that came snow and very cold rain and wind...I used federal government land to bug out in...I didn't know much survival...it good to see this and learn how to do better....I'm going back in the mountains for a short time this winter, I'm preparing for it ...
Very good. I am also a MRE heater, heat tab, blue flame stove type of guy. People or schools that believe that fire is a necessity would not be with me if things turned tactical. Thank you very much
Most videos are just repeats of other videos and we rarely learn something new that's useful. Thanks for you tip on covering branch cuts with dirt. Great video.
Great point about the Dakota fire hole, really reduces your signature especially if using dry tinder and wood (no punk wood, green leaves, or green wood). Any tips or tricks concerning early detection of people too close to your camp? Love your videos especially the urban settings and gray man concepts. Had a bit of training in Navy Intel but nothing on your level. Keep 'em coming!
Just checking out your very helpful videos . Great stuff Jack thanks for taking the time to share the things you have learned . Some I'm sure was learned the hard way ! God bless you and yours
A few additional points not covered in this video - stay away from any paths or what looks like could be a regular route taken by people of animals. In true E&A you don't have time to put up this type of camp - This type of camp is for a few days - another point not covered was that you need to look at entry/exit points to this camp - keep to the same routes in and out of your camp - that way you keep your presence to others to a minimum and keep the vegetation looking it's best. Ponchos/bashers/tarps etc also make a noise when rain falls on them - a different noise to rain falling on leaves/branches or the ground so be aware of that also. In A&E - your stay is a minimum period - hours at the most - just to get some rest, to eat some food, check where you are and then back to the evasion. Good point about tree branch cutting - again keep to lower branches and cut as close to the tree trunk as possible - cut branches die very quickly so only use for short stay camps - never on A&E Making distance between yourself and those chasing you is the only true safety net - so short stays and on your way - stay off paths and roads, never walk along the hill/mountain ridge line - always stay lower than that.

Love your intro and editing! Please share how you do it. I would love to see a workflow video. From setup, capture, editing, posting, etc. Have been a long time follower and you produce great vids. Also share videos equipment you use. Thanks!
Against my better judgement, on deployment, we started a fire. It was pretty cold where we were and higher elevation, limited insulation capabilities. Then the rockets came. Lesson learned.
Sometimes a fire is necessary. In that case, a denatured alcohol stove is a good choice. An alcohol flame is almost invisible, is smokeless and odorless. Alcohol stoves, like the Trangia, are very light weight.
nice tips! question: would it be better to set up the tent somewhere where you can only enter from one side of the bush and not two sides like in your video since someone could see it from both sides and also see your tent against the light? thanks
Top videos. Your information has application in hunting and useful for Moonshiners evading the revenuers. (joke) Storing this info. for future use. Good stuff.
thank you for the great vids! Question for you - How do you stalk when there are dry crunchy leaves and twigs all over? My application is for hunting game that has very good hearing. If you could give me some pointers for how to cover my tracks in thick leaves, I'd appreciate that too. Thanks again for your time!
You get to a certain point in life where you sadly think that there aren't very many tips left that you can learn. Then a good vid comes along and proves you wrong! Thanks!
Just a quick question. After your comments about spider webs and nasty spiders keeping others out, why would you want to shelter there? Otherwise...short concise and valuable information.
As a purely hypothetical scenario...say I was part of a 5 member strike team, deep in occupied territory "Red Dawn" style, trying to set up a semi-permanent base of operations from which to survive and harass the enemy...would the content of this video scale up to meet me and my teams needs? or would I need to employ completely different tactics for setting up a hidden base camp?
You want attacking and evading? Hard to do once you attack they know to look for you they can draw several perimeters based on modes of travel available with time as consideration given the requirements to hide being seclusion that can eliminate vast areas from needing to be searched. If you do attack you need to have delaying measures in place before you attack booby traps and so on. Tripple layers of deception in place at least such as they follow hit booby traps slow down and then follow the line of traps AWAY from your chosen final direction of travel have false trails set up a footprint here drops of blood there broken twigs a classic is the reterat and lead the enemy into a ambush but it is a classic so be carefull in using it.
I attend the UK's Army cadet force, ( a youth organization ) and they always teach the basic and 1* cadets that bashas are great shelters while also being camouflaged when it is at a lean to position. I've always disagreed with that statement, and even some of the instructors have, but hey ho. That's what's in the books so that's what we're taught.
I think the biggest threat in a SHTF situation will be other people who have escaped to the woods stumbling upon your camp, not people that have set out to look for you, so you're right in saying that little things are all that is needed to hide your campsite.
***** I plan to stay in my home fro along as possible, but if it becomes too dangerous I would leave, and on route to my BOL tactics like this may come in handy if I had to stay the night somewhere.
+Gypsy Prepper So when you have a crew of 6 experienced Marauders bust down your Doors at 4 am when you're asleep..then what? You'll fight them off? Unless you have a fortified structure made specifically for anti breaching, good luck.
Good info, but a fire?? E & E means unseen, unheard, unsmelled. Smoke, light, cooking, are seen and smelled. Cold rations, MREs, survival tabs, protean bars instead. If they can’t do without coffee, tea, hot meal, smoking or dipping tobacco, they ain’t E & E or stealth material.
If you're in an SHTF E&E situation, if the people looking for you have even a bottom end FLIR Camera, you're DONE! If its just Bubba & a couple of his friends, then you have a chance.
Dig a hole put the method Burner in with a camp toaster on top so no one can see the flame, build a ridge around it so it cannot be seen at a distance. Don't burn wood in daylight, It's too smokey.
I like the video, but i think the idea of e&e for the normal guy is not relevant, only for a very elite few. The normal airsoft-prepper-tacticool lover that just wants to play dress up and be a wannabe sodier of fortune will never use this. But its still fun to look at. Thank you...

Survival On Purpose lol
Good points / after I got out of the army in 79 it was hard for me to adjust to camping out in the open - I was very uncomfortable with it and still today I try to camp close to cover
It is difficult. Camp security is always in my mind too
imagine you go campin with Friends who are non military - loud, need fire big like a barn, yellow or orange tent big like a garage ..
Great reminder video for those who may need refresher course. Another good point is to make sure not to trod down a trail into or out of your site.
You should be moving to another location before that happens.
NO MILITARY BACKGROUND BUT AS AN OLD MISSISSIPPI HUNTER THIS FELLOW'S VIDEO IS GIVEN A HIGH-LEVEL RATING OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE.

@BSS... I totally DIG all the throwback intros.. hell yeah, brother 💯🤙🇺🇲
Great video, you really know what you are talking about. I didn't notice your shelter until you pointed it out. Keep these kinds of videos coming.
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Most videos are just repeats of other videos and we rarely learn something new that's useful. Thanks for you tip on covering branch cuts with dirt. Great video.
it's great information like this that can save your life!! god bless you and yours my friend!!
Brilliant channel. I subscribed after the first video! Keep up the awesome work, I love videos like this. Thanks your service as well.
Awesome. Thank you

This is the best video on this subject ever made.
Thank you
The REAL Deal. Thanks brother!
That was very interesting you have the best show on youtube .
This vid got real, real quick at the end...
Just checking out your very helpful videos . Great stuff Jack thanks for taking the time to share the things you have learned . Some I'm sure was learned the hard way ! God bless you and yours
Im a loyal follower to this man... very intelligent and knows his shit
I just use the woodland camo military bivy. Cover it up with debris with a natural look, get in, zip it all around, and youre as good as you can be.
Yup!
Thanks for the great easy to remember and use tips.
You are an Excellent teacher.
Thank you for your service.

Solid accurate and reliable info! Thank you!
great video,very easy to understand and common sense when it it comes to evading
Awesome tips there BlackScout. Thanks again!

Great help thanks mate .

The dirt on a fresh cut,is a great idea.
Great video dude!😎👍🏻
good info!. How to hide foot traffic marks?
Keep up the good work Blackscout
nice tips!
question:
would it be better to set up the tent somewhere where you can only enter from one side of the bush and not two sides like in your video since someone could see it from both sides and also see your tent against the light?
thanks
Really appreciated this video!
Thanks brother
Another great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
Solid advice!
Another for the favorites Jackinator !,,,,Happy Holidays from Atlantic Canada ! ,,,,Spook
Great video. What about covering your tracks? No matter how stealthy you are your going to leave sign. Any advice? Thanks.
Relax grasshopper. We already have palms for all that. Lol. Thanks
*plans
Booby traps hunting a smart animal is a bitch.
Nice common sense advice once you know it, thanks for sharing, think like an animal !!
👌👍🇬🇧
excellent as usual
Excellent video.

I'd like to see more of these videos please if you can
Right on
thank you for the great vids! Question for you - How do you stalk when there are dry crunchy leaves and twigs all over? My application is for hunting game that has very good hearing. If you could give me some pointers for how to cover my tracks in thick leaves, I'd appreciate that too. Thanks again for your time!
Heel to toe ever so slow with soft soled shoes. For the leaves use an evergreen branch and sweep lightly to look like wind toss.
Best to hunt in mornings when dew softens leaves, or after rain. Foot placement is good for ground debree. See book Tom Brown "Stalking".
Thanks for the video.
Great tips man! what gloves where you wearing
Great information thanhs
Subscribed great video
you should do a bug out bag trail.. sort of thing with your shelter and stuff.
The spit and the dirt was a good tip.
Thanks boss!
You get to a certain point in life where you sadly think that there aren't very many tips left that you can learn. Then a good vid comes along and proves you wrong! Thanks!
Kinley1978 hah. yes ive been there as well.thanks
Outstanding
Just a quick question. After your comments about spider webs and nasty spiders keeping others out, why would you want to shelter there? Otherwise...short concise and valuable information.
Because you don't want to and likely don"t think someone will.
Hello mate , good video very informative, great stuff cheers atb Martin
THANKS JACK.

Hey,
Do you have courses online, by DVDs or stuff like that??
What gloves are you wearing in this video?
I attend the UK's Army cadet force, ( a youth organization ) and they always teach the basic and 1* cadets that bashas are great shelters while also being camouflaged when it is at a lean to position. I've always disagreed with that statement, and even some of the instructors have, but hey ho. That's what's in the books so that's what we're taught.

***** I plan to stay in my home fro along as possible, but if it becomes too dangerous I would leave, and on route to my BOL tactics like this may come in handy if I had to stay the night somewhere.
+Gypsy Prepper What happens if your forced out of your home?
I know my point is that this may be your only choice if it come down to it
+Gypsy Prepper So when you have a crew of 6 experienced Marauders bust down your Doors at 4 am when you're asleep..then what? You'll fight them off? Unless you have a fortified structure made specifically for anti breaching, good luck.
I think you guys missed the title. This is for Escape and Evasion. Not really a shtf situation.
Great video.
Thank you
in E&E aren't you support to find a natural shelter
How do i disguise my shiny silver tent i find for a couple bucks the same way?
colored duct tape, paint..
Not camoufloged emergency blanket in this situation would be the worst thing to use
Great intel
ghille suit will be wonderful to have
Good info, but a fire?? E & E means unseen, unheard, unsmelled. Smoke, light, cooking, are seen and smelled. Cold rations, MREs, survival tabs, protean bars instead. If they can’t do without coffee, tea, hot meal, smoking or dipping tobacco, they ain’t E & E or stealth material.
I liked ur video on smokeing Sig's even tho I already know.
Smart exact experienced ...only good most knows this...average person is about comfort not knowledge.....point on bed
What branch of the military are you currently in?
That's one bad hat Harry.
Thanks!!
I like it.
THANKS
If you're in an SHTF E&E situation, if the people looking for you have even a bottom end FLIR Camera, you're DONE!
If its just Bubba & a couple of his friends, then you have a chance.
Space blankets (the good ones, not the china junk) can defeat flir when you are not moving like when laying down sleeping.
Always carry meterials on ur body to avaoid trackers
Thanks
Dig a hole put the method Burner in with a camp toaster on top so no one can see the flame, build a ridge around it so it cannot be seen at a distance.
Don't burn wood in daylight,
It's too smokey.
Smart .
Thx !
Blend in
Low Silhouette
Irregular Shape
Size (Small)
Secluded Location
what shirt are you wearing?
It's light weight and worth gold
Good tips, although a 17-second intro is way too long.
I like the video, but i think the idea of e&e for the normal guy is not relevant, only for a very elite few. The normal airsoft-prepper-tacticool lover that just wants to play dress up and be a wannabe sodier of fortune will never use this. But its still fun to look at. Thank you...
Use ur fire to throw of ur trackers not to stay warm.
For smokers dig a hole and hit it if u need to to avaoid snipers.
You can make covert fires :P
Stephen Paddock could've used these tips.
