I purchased and watched the video from PFS of the documentary of the Basic class of 4 days. Seems absolutely ridiculous that half of the students dropped out because of dehydration to the point of heat stroke. Definitely imbicilic type of structure of the class. I mean, what's the point? 99% of folks arent in military shape and won't ever be subject to such stress. And even if they are what about their wife and kids... gonna trek them 6 miles in 105 degree heat index carrying 35 pounds of gear in a backpack + another 35 pounds sticks and branches in a 55 gallon garbage bag. IMO... it's a crock of shit stress unnecessarily done. Kudos to you and others for getting through it, but your average guy or gal can't do it... or tredge through miles of thorns trying to find their way on a navigation course. Would love to see an outline of your course by day and topics covered. Agenda etc without giving away your training system. You ought to also have "patches" and a training path of Basic Intermediate and Advanced... and also offer CPR and First Aid classes through the Red Cross, etc. For folks to get certified. I have to say that the makeshift stretcher that CC Shawn made from 2 garbage bags and to branches to evacuate that guy that had heat stroke was pretty amazing military style evac procedure. Glad you guys left DC and started your own style of training. Best of luck and we would love to see an outline of your guys new curriculum.
We appreciate this feedback! We do not think it’s necessary to put people through “boot camp” in order to learn. The stress will come naturally without us having to beat students down. We are all learning together and believe that EVERYONE should be given a fair chance to learn, no matter the physical challenges of that person. We have had great success and feedback from our classes! We are in the process of starting a Red Cross Wilderness First Responder training course. In addition to that I’m starting a Wilderness Immersion program that will give people training, knowledge and tools to not only start their own thing but also how to actually teach/coach someone! I will be posting more videos about the classes and what will be available soon!
🎉 hey Jake, I saw a small clip from Ugly Tent re your 3 day Basic Survival class with Shawn Kelly BUT I didn't see any video clips on yours or CC channel. Where can I find clips of ur classes? Are you on Ugly Tent's property?🎉
@@bsd9230 Honestly buddy I don’t hardly have any clips, I get so into teaching and having good interactions with the students that I totally forget to record it lol. All of the classes are on my property, Kenny only lives about 20 minutes from me and Shawn is only about 45 minutes.
@@buckeyebushcraft you guys are awesome! Very wholesome teaching. Glad you're getting some traction in your classes. It doesn't have to be a professional video, just like clips snipets will be like an advertisement.
His personality and mannerisms make him seem like a good guy to learn from. The flexibility in gear selection is refreshing as well. Bushcraft is not boot camp, students learn more when taught in a calm demeanor with minimal stress. Learning is like going through the gears on a bicycle, come to think of it, making a proper fire is like going through the gears on a bicycle as well. Start small then gradually add in more sills and stress.
Just signed up and looking forward to it. I really appreciate the fact that this course is affordable and does not require certain brands of gear. Everyone does not have the disposable income to buy branded gear and pay for a class.
@buckeyebushcraft not really my business but wondering, what was the major call for you guys to do your own thing without PF School?? I do get they are just pedaling China junk now rebranded with PF but I'm curious is there more in there teachings you guys don't agree with or just a disagreement?? As always I enjoy your stuff Jake btw another Jake here 👋✊️🔥✌️💚
Great minimalist kit JT. Quite sufficient for a weekend survival in the outback. All the best with your survival classes mate. Hi to Adaptable Survival, we follow him too. Cheers from Australia.
Excellent kit! Im old school and based my survival kit on the marine corps kit issused during vietnam. I was there and know that the kit works. Ive added a few items and use a hiking kit with all the gear you mentioned. Two different kits. One fir hiking the other fir survival.
There will be some stress, and there will be some hiking. But we aren’t here to bust the students into the ground, we want students to learn without having to worry about wether or not they’re gonna pass.
It would really be best if the cup was stainless steel or titanium. Simply because aluminum warps if you heat it with no liquid inside. So making char cloth could ruin your cup.

What is the make, model and source of your knife in this video? Enjoyed your video and subscribed. Thanks
Glad to see you cut the DC cord. Look forward to your vids. Glad to see you are not requiring branded chinese products.
I appreciate it! A pack full of equipment isn’t survival.

Very nice! Simple and straight to the basics and real needs! No fancy brands or bla bla bla...

So jake in the past I've talked crap to u when you were barely at 1000 subs, awesome that you are growing
Tbh man I don’t even remember that😂 I appreciate it man!
Excited for this kickoff!
Awesome Jake this is a true minimalist kit
Can’t wait buddy
Very happy for your new endeavors
Good to see you back at it buddy! Wish we had something like this in So Oregon!
Awesome! I will be at GABC but hope I can make another one of these!
Excellent kit! Im old school and based my survival kit on the marine corps kit issused during vietnam. I was there and know that the kit works. Ive added a few items and use a hiking kit with all the gear you mentioned. Two different kits. One fir hiking the other fir survival.
Can you bring a rain jacket instead of a poncho? Or do you also need the poncho to double as a tarp?
Good look jake if I wasn’t in U.K. I’d be there in a shot for your courses and good to see neutral gear which is your own choice and works for you💯👊
Good for you and ur buddies. Wish u the best.
Is this a course where you’re putting the students through high stress and long hikes?
There will be some stress, and there will be some hiking. But we aren’t here to bust the students into the ground, we want students to learn without having to worry about wether or not they’re gonna pass.
This is awesome brother. Congratulations on setting off on your own. Wish i lived closer. D🤙🇺🇸😎
Congratulations Trent on your survival course's ☘️😎👍
Congratulations on your classes, hope everything goes great !
Can the cup be aluminium, I have the Bear Grylls survival canteen and cup set. And is the BG ultimate survival knife with its ferro rod ok. Thank you.
It would really be best if the cup was stainless steel or titanium. Simply because aluminum warps if you heat it with no liquid inside. So making char cloth could ruin your cup.
@@buckeyebushcraft OK thanks was not aware or thinking about that. Only ever made char cloth once in a old mint lolly tin.
@@buckeyebushcraft clearly Jake has thought through this gear list. Kudod to you brother
Awesome video my friend
I'd recommend a sleeping pad , sleeping bag , and a small boo boo kit with aspirin and imodium and at least a tourniquet.
It says on the website to bring sleeping equipment
That looks like a nice knife,who made it?
Tony powers from Dirtbound survival
Glad to see no Pathfinder crap.
You no longer with the pathfinder school??
I left almost 2 months ago
Interesting😮
What part of Ohio
Southern Ohio. Right outside of Chesapeake, Ohio
Why are all of these schools in Ohio?
Jake this is a great minimalist kit, Where can I get a Print out of the list.
😂 a print out?
Really
