Lokk at a poser thing. Nobody wants a surgen when people want food. Nobody understands your not a provider. Gawd i spent time i cant get back. Just shut up. Ads are more intel
Here's a tip, here in the UK when they have harvested a field, as far as I'm aware you are allowed to collect food that hasn't been harvested, it's called 'gleaning' I picked up 30KG yes 30 kilograms of onions out of a field that had been harvested a few weeks back, there were thousands of onions left over which will go to waste! I'm now keeping an eye out for harvested potato fields. It's FREE FOOD!
Great idea! The produce that's out there is either too big or too small to go through the harvesting machines. I used to do that with carrots, onions, potatoes, apples and other vegetables and fruits. On apples, they were picked by hand and if one fell to the ground, it would become bruised and ruin the others. "One bad apple ruins the whole bunch." The farmers didn't mind at all, in fact, they were glad to see someone keeping it from going to waste. In fields, if you pick up and take the larger rocks, they love it! Larger rocks damage their equipment. I knew all the farmers and always called to ask if it was okay to be in their field on such and such a day. They might be plowing or something, and I wouldn't want to mess up their schedule.
I love this program. I am 85 years old and have been thru many hard times But this coming Crisis is going to be the worst. My suggestion also is Buy food store drinking water, Have a way to purify water, Plant a garden anywhere near rivers out in the woods in Vacant lots. You plant a seed in ninety days you have food. Be sure you live near water and few people. I live in northern eastern oklahoma. I can drive anywhere to fish or camp.And I know where I, planted potatoes, Cucumbers,ect. I even have a few bottles Of wine buried.
@@SurvivalDoctors obtain some pvc barrels… place what ever you want in them and securely seal the lids… 40 - 50 litre size will do, however, whatever you can get hold of. Place these in your pre dug hole. Cover over… job done. There’s loads of these “bury” vids on YT… good luck… and tell no one about your stash
@@SurvivalDoctors seriously, you’re a humble down to earth sounding guy. I appreciate you spending time with Nate and sharing your experience with us. Thank you!
One of my high school friends and his wife were stranded in a rental cabin in the North Carolina mountains during an unexpected winter snow storm. They had to survive without electricity and very little food for over two weeks. They were eating spoonsful of strawberry preserves they found in the cabinet and melting snow with cigarette lighters and candles to have drinking water. They both said they never wanted to see strawberry preserves ever again.
Stupidity can be corrected. Rucksacks with basics supplies always in your car. Know tents. 4 seasons best. Fuels and portable stove knowledge critical. Avoid negative people. Know who will bring down your group.
They failed to see the potential dangers of their location and time of year. Very typical of most people. They fail to plan for what the most likely threats are in their activity or location.
I'm as broke as they come, I've been moving across three third world countries with my bicycle without any form of survival background nor resources other than the stuff I carry along. This video will come in particularly useful because I will soon be 4000 meters high, in the middle of winter, in an hyperinflationary, broke as F country. Even if not for the practical advice, just the mindset and the testimony will carry me through my daily dose of SHTF lifestyle. Thank you!

A large majority of people in urban 1st world countries wouldn't last beyond 90 days if we were to lose all our modern conveniences and infrastructure. One grid down situation and you'll have culled 1/3 of the population, if not even more.
And this is why you prep. Bugging out is bad unless you have a plan and a cache at your destination. If hunkering down prepare to defend against desperate raiding zombies.
Got have whole neighborhoods got on the same pages too!....... lone wolf tactics don't fair well realistically, for defending your little plot home bases.
Think of the people leaving war torn countries, like the one in Eastern Europe the last couple of years. They leave with little belongings, hope and earnest prayers. Going to unknown destinations and learning new languages. 🙏🙏🙏
I think getting rid of religion spirit stuff makes people mentally tougher, you’re not stuck in an illusion and you see reality for what it is. When you see it for what it is you can do something about it.

During the first 1/2 of my 42yr career flying helicopters in Canada, many years were spent on the Dewline based out of Hall Beach (Fox Main) in the Canadian Arctic, Greenland and even further north to the North Pole for the US Navy’s “Area 88” in 1988. I have seen -45C with 20 knots of wind (I’ll let you do the Wind Chill Calculations) Arctic Cold Weather Operations are very humbling. I was in my late 20’s thru into my late 30’s when operating in the Arctic. It took all the energy I had just to complete simple tasks. You don’t even have to go very far north. I recall leaving Hall Beach NWT on the Dewliner, a B737 heading south for Winnipeg. When I boarded the flight in Hall Beach, it was -40C. When I got off the flight 2 hours latter in Winnipeg, it was -42C…..!!! In 1996 I made the decision to trade -45C in the High Arctic, for +45C in Abu Dhabi. In 2020 I fully retired from the cockpit to the island of Phuket in SW Thailand. Much respect for all the Cold Weather Operators.
Off-grid in NS here, and the -10 we get is 100x colder than the -45 I experienced in fort Mac! And when a northerly or nor'easter blows in, holy crap!!! I'm wishing for those balmy -45 days at Fort Mac when we'd go skiing or skating outdoors, because even with my arctic-rated snowsuit it's just too cold to go outside! The damp is the killer, not so much the windchill - but the two together? Murder!!! Keep thinking I should've bought a sailboat (instead of land) and gone to Mexico!

I can’t normally watch long videos because I’m to busy taking care of my little ones . And doing all the wife and mommy things . Busy busy busy . I’ve watch this video all the way because my children are asleep . It’s my mommy break time from the kiddos . I’m thankful for your videos . I see life differently now , in a wise way . Thanks Canadian pepper . God bless
You be better sleeping in the spare time instead of watching this absolute crap 💩 …one thing for sure if yous was all to follow what this fools are saying in a life or death scenario you will end up brown bread 🥖
Good point - the level of prepping depends on your age. That said: I think prepping should also be about helping the "Family / Tribe / Clan / Community" to survive (particularly the children) and older people can contribute to this, including having wisdom resulting from old age.
I am 35 this year with my 64 year old mother, im bugged in. bugging out is a option but as a last resort, can be done reasonably but all of my preps are here at home. will take something catastrophic to get me to leave.
I really enjoyed this, thanks. Interesting and thoughtful conversation about aspects of the real experience that might surprise people. Please keep making long videos. 🙏
my goal is to be off grid full time before i retire so ive been studying and researching and learning skills for quite a while now. i got a traditional bow with no sights or things to break or have to rely on or fail from and after getting more proficient with the bow, i have to recommend it to everyone that wants to survive alone. you wont always have amunition but you can always craft a good bow and arrows. learn to shoot and learn to make a working bow. it will feed you and protect you and having that skill will most definitely be better than NOT having that skill
Excellent advice there , we used to be tough in our early years but as time goes on we get soft and the body doesn’t respond as good but we’re still here and know stuff , still preparing !
That was a very informative interview explaining the use of the salt mix and rice use, his approach to survival with a medical aspect to it was really helpful. Look forward to part 2. Thanks
This is a great video Nate, thank you for putting this together. I know a few episodes ago you commented that you put together great survival videos, but they do not get veiws. I hope that you don't let that discourage you because this is appreciated by myself, and I assume so many others.
I'm very glad your channel exists otherwise I wouldn't have been informed and prepared like I needed to be God Bless your channel and everyone reading this.
NATE This is the scariest video I've seen from you. Sincerely, we need to get more ready. I didn't know these things. WOW showed this to my Dad he said we have to step up our game. Thanks for all you do. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your body makes the heat needed to keep you alive, the trick is retaining that heat. Buy hyper warm clothes NOW while you can easily. Deep winter sleeping bags that are good too - like the Teton Celcius XL sleeping bag, good to -25F. Why XL? So your regular sleeping bag can fit inside it. Now you are good to -40F. Baffin Titan boots comfort rated to -148F. Now you can just use calories to survive, not heat yourself. Food is available...for now. Stock up as best you can while you can.
I beg to differ, lol... woman, tropical-blooded, born in the year of the snake, so also cold-blooded... hubby was away for work all winter, and we're completely off-grid... on the nights that got down below -10°c, I was sleeping with three layers, a toque, hoodie hood up over aforementioned toque, bathrobe, two blankets, three giant dogs (Hungarian Kuvasz) and one foot-warmer terrier (she slept under the blankets down by my feet), two blankets, and a fully-loaded woodstove... I was STILL waking up frozen! Many nights - especially those below -20 - I simply would just stay up to keep the stove fed! I DO NOT make my own heat, AT ALL! My body relies 100% on external sources, which totally sucks! Mind you, when the summer heat arrives - and I'm talking HEAT, like, well over 35-40°c, over 60° in the sun when there's no breeze (something like 150f?) I'll be outside working away, no problem and no sweat! Maybe I'm just a freak of nature, who knows :p
@@AgnesMariaL Well, I should have said most people. Consider getting a Gamera Rocket stove to keep you and your home warm. It uses less wood and puts heat out (when properly installed with a 20' horizontal exhaust) 10-20 hours after a burn. You can also use it to heat water using a thermosyphone system easily.
@@scottc8152 I am a special sort, no doubt... We just have to get our skirting sorted, that has been a huge issue for us. We did hay/straw bales the past couple years, but between dogs (they LOVE to be under our 'house'), a rogue pig, the chickens etc there's always a hole for the cold air to blow in! Hopefully we'll get some solid skirting in place before next winter, and we'll be building in a doggy-door :)
This made me reflect on how THIS WAS LIFE for indigenous people. There was no button to press. Here in BC, Canada, Simon (explorer) Fraser came down the river only about 150 years ago. At 17:42 Nate says he noticed when tree planting and being out in wilderness for so long that the mind is blank. That is a most relevant observation as a silent mind is a powerful mind. This would have much empowered indigenous people who lived this life. A silent mind allows intuition in and I believe also allows senses to be heightened. In today's life most probably have a monkey mind which is not a powerful or useful state of mind. This is why meditation practices in today's world is probably a good thing to do.
This was life for ALL at one point. The difference is the indigenous were established in the area so knowledge of where food was as well they had a tribe. Ever wonder why the teepees? To travel with the food source. Huge huge difference to my ancestors that came here no knowledge no tribe nothing. It was the indigenous that taught them a few life saving things. Again indigenous were established here as where most in real survival are thrown In with nothing to know and must learn fast or die alone. Interesting how little so many know and do not understand or care to. If you listen to holocaust survivors most said they kept going thru hope once hope was lost one would pass away fast and this was people thrown into survival not established in an area free to roam for food. However they all had each other (tribe). When one must go thru extreme alone they tend to die very fast due to not only not having the extra help but loss of connection with others. It’s much deeper than most care to think. Indigenous back in the day were absolutely amazing as were all our ancestors that survived the worst. Something to learn from all of them :) incredibly sad today’s generations care not to listen to all the elders in all races that survived. If we do we learn how to from them.
@@derekpam7149 It’s good to know there are others who understand this. I keep watching indigenous and holocaust survivor documentaries. It gives great insight into the human condition. The will to live is so important.
@@derekpam7149 My comment was not to argue about who was tribal and when, but to point out a very important aspect, that when in nature all the time the mind becomes silent which is a powerful thing. But, to your point, Europeans started to cease being tribes around the Roman times which was around 211 when the Roman emperor allowed non-slave men to become citizens at a fee. Many indigenous people, who still live as tribes to this day, still live and harvest in the annual cycles as much as they can. Their chances of surviving in a grid down or calamity are likely higher as they still practice living off the land.
Good show. Knowing the mindset-mental toll of surviving is as important as selecting the gear that your life will depend on. Not to forget, proficiency in using that gear and knowing your limits is no less important, too. Looking forward to part 2.
I have spent three weeks bedridden after major surgery...I was being fed well...non the less I have lost about a quarter of my body mass ....I am slowly getting up and about again ...but I could not walk and it took considerable effort to get walking again...I'm walking now but short distances..a little more each day...I get tired really quickly...I understand what the doctor is talking about when he talks about loss of body mass ....
Thanks especially for the Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium Salt mix. Should they be in equal amounts? Maybe you could tell us on your next show. Keep'in me up to speed Nate!
Having electrolytes in get home bags is paramount. You can go without food for a long time, but if you cramp up it's debilitating. His fasting comments are excellent. If you have never gone into ketosis it can become flu like, and your body becomes dehydrated much faster. Electrolytes are excellent in that situation as well. Walking a 100 miles to get home is impossible for half the population. Train accordingly.
@@tomcat6735Valid points with plants, but this isn't based on a living off the land scenario. "Get Home" is a plan to efficiently get you to a safe location while keeping you in an optimal mental / physical state. A One hundred mile traverse is 3 to 7 days for an average fit person with a good basic toolkit. Getting home fast is only the first step, and being able to recover quickly starts with good practices. Putting this into practice has been humbling at times. My next goal is doing a 10 day scenario. Anyone trying this remember its tick season!
Decades ago a politician in Columbus, OH did an extended hunger strike on the statehouse lawn in a tent. He went weeks, and wasted away, water only, so far that his body cannibalized his own brain and near the end you could tell his brain was going, slurred speech, limited vocab, slow cadence, difficulty understanding and answering questions from the press. He gave up before he died, but the damage seemed to permanently remove him from politics in Columbus, and he disappeared. Your guest was smart to stop on day 63. I think the politician went closer to 30 days, iirc.
Gandhi’s longest fast was 21 days with only occasional sips of water. Longest fast without solid food was 382 days with water, tea, coffee, vitamins, electrolytes, and occasional yeast for amino acids. Generally 8-12 weeks of fasting with only water is fatal.
My wife and I both come from isolated communities and believe me my family could live survive being dropped off in the middle of the woods. Of course we would need a little bit of supplies a few survival things knife, little bit of fishing lines and fishing hooks first aid supply all the stuff that we prepare with in a bug out bag. my community that I live in we plant gardens every season as a community we go fall hunting for moose deer as a community about 10 of us go every year to stock up the freezers for the community. I know communities that do the same further up north than I am at like a moose factory and further north, everyone of my kids knows how to start a fire with a Flint. Build a shelter we teach our kids about living out here I am confident my family could survive in the bush just like our ancestors did 150 years ago we are First Nations citizens and learning about our culture all the time the old ways .
@Canadian Prepper, my wife was a Clinical Dietitian in the USA. She treated nursing home patients. She saw many people die of starvation -- naturally as part of the dying process -- when terminal patients could no longer swallow food. She once saw an elderly woman live 45 days after only drinking Diet Coke. My wife says starving is not a bad way to go. She's tended 2,000+ deathbeds.

Something i have been doing the last 20 years going once a year to a ten day silent Vipassana retreat . You been all cared for but its 9 days of silence no phone or talking. Just observing you mind.

I knew this was going to be an entertaining show, and a reminder of what it takes to survive and be outdoors, but I didn't expect to learn anything new, and I did!!! Having Salt, Potassium, and Magnesium, in your bloodstream could save your life, is 100% against WHO, NIH, SNH, FDA, and CDC, (which is why I am a true believer now, haha!!! Thanks for the show!!!

I was very curious to learn all the modifications for a survival tool/mode!!! I hope that he brings it back up in your second half!!! Thanks for the interview!!!
I applied for that show and got an interview with a show worker. I told them i found it humorous how all these survival experts couldnt make it 3 months.........let that sink in when you think you are gonna bug out......most arent experts and will die inside that first 90 days no matter the weather
A lot of the contestants weren't as good as they thought they were. Getting injured early on and couldn't handle being alone was their biggest demise. Also common sense seemed lacking. One guy didn't even bring a fire starter lmao. He was done pretty quick.
I strong feel that this series showed how far trained people could go ie those who res also health at the start. It was a study conducted how long someone can survive so that I the future whichever control of populations come out they would know how and how many people they need to hunt down
being such a survivalist, it's kind of silly to be in Canada tbh... I mean go to brazil never worry about being cold or not haveing food ever again, then there's the 2 legged animals though :)

@@GBall_Visionfinding water is the most critical problem. Out back summer - everything is baked dry. You'd have to know what vegetation and bird/ animal behaviours indicate water. If you have the resources you can create a ground still to distil water from vegetation. A lot of overseas tourists massively underestimate the vast travel distances and lack of resources when they travel through remote places. Most die when they break down and leave the vehicle to find help. Never leave your vehicle if you break down in the outback. Also, beware of drop bears in the more wooded areas 😉
This edition will be kept as one of my favorite episodes... I've watched it three times, already... Mindset is most definitely essential for survival. I appreciate what he notes as important elements for focus and what needs to be set aside. Becoming ok with, now, the reality that you have to become your own hero... noone is going to rescue you. Knowing how to avoid physical damage from lower calorie intake... starvation mode... makes me feel better about the excess I currently have to carry into the initial phase of just after SHTF. The importance of making changes in lifestyle choices NOW, so these are available and a part of who you are when they are needed and critical for continuance. The bare bones essentials to always have with you... the salt blend... rice water... the importance of fats in the diet... a lot if important information here. Thank You! ...both of you... 👍
Most people would succumb to the natural elements of heat, & cold in the first 24 to 48hrs out in the wild. They would die from dehydration or frostbite, & That's not even including accidents or animal attacks, & also mental failure.
Remember this about fasting. It is better to fast for better food that to try survive on one instant noodle pack a day or low quality stuff like this, you'll die destroying your body thinking unlimited food going it's way. 0-7 days: no refeeding syndrome risk, break fast with small amount of food, preferably fatty protein. 7-14 day fast low no risk of refeeding syndrome. Break fast with fat then go protein, hard boiled eggs is an example. More than 30 days ? Start with bone broth, very slowy, or if in a bad spot, beef tallow. If you want to die in 5 minutes ? Anything else in large quantity. When prolonged fasting, body eats always fat first, it release growth hormone stoping the breakdown of muscle until around 5% body fat, the intense hunger pangs you feel when untrained the first 2 days is ghrelin cycle going down, and the flu symptoms is your body adapting to burn premium fuel, fat, it can take longer acording to your health. Your body will deplete it's sodium first, but it deplete it fast only in the first few days, then it retain sodium better, then potasium goes, 1week to 1month, depending on diet before hand and individual health, then shortly after magnesium. Always keep a stock of the 3, learn their symptoms, treat acordingly. All vitamins can be synthetize by the body itself, either by autophagy, or simply by being fat soluble. Only under 5% body fat everything become a problem, but the human body is smart, it will go thought the skeletal muscle first, then weaken the bones and shrink the liver, heart/brain and funnily enough testes&ovaries are always last.
What should we have in stock , then? Sodium Is iodised sodium any good/ better? Magnesium sulphate? Potassium chloride? Are these available from heath/vitamins shops?
@@bipbip6626 i'd say go for tallow 1st, in a mason jar in your bugout bag, can save you life in so many way from makeshift candles to last ditch food, potasium&magnesium suplements, i took 500mg daily of potasium, you could 2x that, dont remember for magnesium but ÷2 for sure and you'll be fine, the exact kind ? I didn't headaches over this, suplements lol, survived well enough 33 days with terrible health. Salts go for iodized, but any salts work in a pitch. Any pharmacy, local walmart, dollarstore, cosco's, health shop, amazon, you get it, suplements ain't the rare stuff, neither expensive for what it is.
@@bipbip6626 fat, sodium, potasium, magnesium. Prep in that order, but remember, each are very important, magnesium is hard to deplete but it can screw your life in a very, very bad way. Just like the others, to fast safely these are absolutly needed.
A word of caution about fasting- Just know that fasting for as little as a week and coming off of fasting can kill you from eating too much. It has something to do with an electrolyte imbalance. Simple is not so simple.

I like what Chief Dan George said in a film I saw:
“Today is a good day to dye.”

Great interview. Our society is so mentally and spiritually weak. Mental toughness is key to get through the difficult times coming to us all.
I think getting rid of religion spirit stuff makes people mentally tougher, you’re not stuck in an illusion and you see reality for what it is. When you see it for what it is you can do something about it.
@@That.Lady.withtheYarn Maybe but I also think atheists are way more likely to self-delete when the going gets rough.
🙏
@@That.Lady.withtheYarn I promise you, if you root all your belief in what you think is reality, you will reach self-limiting ceilings. I think belief outside of what may be logical is key to surpassing potentials but that’s only a thought 😅
During the first 1/2 of my 42yr career flying helicopters in Canada, many years were spent on the Dewline based out of Hall Beach (Fox Main) in the Canadian Arctic, Greenland and even further north to the North Pole for the US Navy’s “Area 88” in 1988.
I have seen -45C with 20 knots of wind (I’ll let you do the Wind Chill Calculations)
Arctic Cold Weather Operations are very humbling. I was in my late 20’s thru into my late 30’s when operating in the Arctic.
It took all the energy I had just to complete simple tasks.
You don’t even have to go very far north. I recall leaving Hall Beach NWT on the Dewliner, a B737 heading south for Winnipeg. When I boarded the flight in Hall Beach, it was -40C. When I got off the flight 2 hours latter in Winnipeg, it was -42C…..!!!
In 1996 I made the decision to trade -45C in the High Arctic, for +45C in Abu Dhabi.
In 2020 I fully retired from the cockpit to the island of Phuket in SW Thailand.
Much respect for all the Cold Weather Operators.
Off-grid in NS here, and the -10 we get is 100x colder than the -45 I experienced in fort Mac! And when a northerly or nor'easter blows in, holy crap!!! I'm wishing for those balmy -45 days at Fort Mac when we'd go skiing or skating outdoors, because even with my arctic-rated snowsuit it's just too cold to go outside! The damp is the killer, not so much the windchill - but the two together? Murder!!! Keep thinking I should've bought a sailboat (instead of land) and gone to Mexico!
Loved watching him on Alone. Thank you for this interview. Super interesting.
The conversation was epic. great show, great lessons.
Thank you!!! Can’t wait to see part 2! It’s going to be a reveal for me too 😂
Nate, tree planter for 35 years in the most remote areas. Takes a certain mind frame, for sure. Glad to know you planted. Excellent video.
Hope he didn't plant in those burnt/burning areas... it'll only happen again per "history repeats itself" -
Everyone everywhere should be a tree planter. Take tree seeds with you when hiking. Like apple and pear seeds. Wildlife too needs to eat. Besides people.🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳
I can’t normally watch long videos because I’m to busy taking care of my little ones . And doing all the wife and mommy things . Busy busy busy . I’ve watch this video all the way because my children are asleep . It’s my mommy break time from the kiddos . I’m thankful for your videos . I see life differently now , in a wise way . Thanks Canadian pepper . God bless
Watch in 1.5 speed. Save time ⏲️ 💕
You be better sleeping in the spare time instead of watching this absolute crap 💩 …one thing for sure if yous was all to follow what this fools are saying in a life or death scenario you will end up brown bread 🥖
Same
We are 71 and 82 so not going anywhere!! I’d rather die in my own bed😂😂 prepped to bug in and that’s it.
😯 Giving up is not an option !!!
@@captainnutzlos3816after a certain amount of time on this planet you can, but its not giving up so much as its more of being freed from all
Good point - the level of prepping depends on your age. That said: I think prepping should also be about helping the "Family / Tribe / Clan / Community" to survive (particularly the children) and older people can contribute to this, including having wisdom resulting from old age.
@@captainnutzlos3816 Bugging in is the only realistic option for like 99.9% of preppers. Bugging out will get so many preppers killed.
I am 35 this year with my 64 year old mother, im bugged in. bugging out is a option but as a last resort, can be done reasonably but all of my preps are here at home. will take something catastrophic to get me to leave.
I really enjoyed this, thanks. Interesting and thoughtful conversation about aspects of the real experience that might surprise people. Please keep making long videos. 🙏
What a Great Show, the Guest was excellent.
Thank you! Absolutely amazing and generous host!
my goal is to be off grid full time before i retire so ive been studying and researching and learning skills for quite a while now. i got a traditional bow with no sights or things to break or have to rely on or fail from and after getting more proficient with the bow, i have to recommend it to everyone that wants to survive alone. you wont always have amunition but you can always craft a good bow and arrows. learn to shoot and learn to make a working bow. it will feed you and protect you and having that skill will most definitely be better than NOT having that skill
Excellent advice there , we used to be tough in our early years but as time goes on we get soft and the body doesn’t respond as good but we’re still here and know stuff , still preparing !
Great video Nate, Thanks 😊...looking forward to part 2.
Thoughtful conversation and Dr. Tan was well spoken and quite insightful. Also, side note; always here for long form content.
Right on! Thanks for the feedback! Hoping to follow in Nate’s footsteps with the longform content!
These stories are very valuable and essential. Thanks for the great interview!
I’m glad! Hope to share more! I try to go live on TH-cam weekly!
Wow! What a super great interview! Will listen a second time and take notes! Looking forward to part two! 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😀🌸
See you there! 😂
Fantastic info from the doctor with regards to the food preps and defensive item, thank you so very much.
Very eye opening, inspiring & interesting interview
Thank you!!! Can’t wait for the second one!
Ok, after watching this I'm going grocery shopping. I have about 2 months of food. Now I want around a year if not more. Thanks CP
Just make sure you can protect it, first. You're looking at Mad Max.
I’m on the same boat! Trying to start systems of regenerative energy and resources
if you have a yard then buy seeds too, then replace your yard plants with edible plants and maybe even fruit bearing trees
Thanks man for all the info and let's get primal and thrive Many years are to come
All for it!
That was a very informative interview explaining the use of the salt mix and rice use, his approach to survival with a medical aspect to it was really helpful. Look forward to part 2. Thanks
excellent guest...this is real stuff and real story...
Thank you!!! Hope to be back soon!
This is a great video Nate, thank you for putting this together. I know a few episodes ago you commented that you put together great survival videos, but they do not get veiws. I hope that you don't let that discourage you because this is appreciated by myself, and I assume so many others.
I'm very glad your channel exists otherwise I wouldn't have been informed and prepared like I needed to be God Bless your channel and everyone reading this.
One of the best preparedness channels I’ve seen!
Fantastic interview and subscription to the doctor's channel is a no brainer. Thanks CP!
I love the longer videos. I listen while I work every day. Thanks for the great content
NATE This is the scariest video I've seen from you. Sincerely, we need to get more ready. I didn't know these things. WOW showed this to my Dad he said we have to step up our game. Thanks for all you do. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your body makes the heat needed to keep you alive, the trick is retaining that heat. Buy hyper warm clothes NOW while you can easily. Deep winter sleeping bags that are good too - like the Teton Celcius XL sleeping bag, good to -25F. Why XL? So your regular sleeping bag can fit inside it. Now you are good to -40F. Baffin Titan boots comfort rated to -148F. Now you can just use calories to survive, not heat yourself. Food is available...for now. Stock up as best you can while you can.
I beg to differ, lol... woman, tropical-blooded, born in the year of the snake, so also cold-blooded... hubby was away for work all winter, and we're completely off-grid... on the nights that got down below -10°c, I was sleeping with three layers, a toque, hoodie hood up over aforementioned toque, bathrobe, two blankets, three giant dogs (Hungarian Kuvasz) and one foot-warmer terrier (she slept under the blankets down by my feet), two blankets, and a fully-loaded woodstove... I was STILL waking up frozen! Many nights - especially those below -20 - I simply would just stay up to keep the stove fed! I DO NOT make my own heat, AT ALL! My body relies 100% on external sources, which totally sucks! Mind you, when the summer heat arrives - and I'm talking HEAT, like, well over 35-40°c, over 60° in the sun when there's no breeze (something like 150f?) I'll be outside working away, no problem and no sweat! Maybe I'm just a freak of nature, who knows :p
@@AgnesMariaL Well, I should have said most people. Consider getting a Gamera Rocket stove to keep you and your home warm. It uses less wood and puts heat out (when properly installed with a 20' horizontal exhaust) 10-20 hours after a burn. You can also use it to heat water using a thermosyphone system easily.
@@scottc8152 I am a special sort, no doubt... We just have to get our skirting sorted, that has been a huge issue for us. We did hay/straw bales the past couple years, but between dogs (they LOVE to be under our 'house'), a rogue pig, the chickens etc there's always a hole for the cold air to blow in! Hopefully we'll get some solid skirting in place before next winter, and we'll be building in a doggy-door :)
This made me reflect on how THIS WAS LIFE for indigenous people. There was no button to press. Here in BC, Canada, Simon (explorer) Fraser came down the river only about 150 years ago. At 17:42 Nate says he noticed when tree planting and being out in wilderness for so long that the mind is blank. That is a most relevant observation as a silent mind is a powerful mind. This would have much empowered indigenous people who lived this life. A silent mind allows intuition in and I believe also allows senses to be heightened. In today's life most probably have a monkey mind which is not a powerful or useful state of mind. This is why meditation practices in today's world is probably a good thing to do.
This was life for ALL at one point. The difference is the indigenous were established in the area so knowledge of where food was as well they had a tribe. Ever wonder why the teepees? To travel with the food source. Huge huge difference to my ancestors that came here no knowledge no tribe nothing. It was the indigenous that taught them a few life saving things. Again indigenous were established here as where most in real survival are thrown In with nothing to know and must learn fast or die alone. Interesting how little so many know and do not understand or care to. If you listen to holocaust survivors most said they kept going thru hope once hope was lost one would pass away fast and this was people thrown into survival not established in an area free to roam for food. However they all had each other (tribe). When one must go thru extreme alone they tend to die very fast due to not only not having the extra help but loss of connection with others. It’s much deeper than most care to think. Indigenous back in the day were absolutely amazing as were all our ancestors that survived the worst. Something to learn from all of them :) incredibly sad today’s generations care not to listen to all the elders in all races that survived. If we do we learn how to from them.
@@derekpam7149
It’s good to know there are others who understand this. I keep watching indigenous and holocaust survivor documentaries. It gives great insight into the human condition. The will to live is so important.
@@derekpam7149 My comment was not to argue about who was tribal and when, but to point out a very important aspect, that when in nature all the time the mind becomes silent which is a powerful thing. But, to your point, Europeans started to cease being tribes around the Roman times which was around 211 when the Roman emperor allowed non-slave men to become citizens at a fee. Many indigenous people, who still live as tribes to this day, still live and harvest in the annual cycles as much as they can. Their chances of surviving in a grid down or calamity are likely higher as they still practice living off the land.
Good show. Knowing the mindset-mental toll of surviving is as important as selecting the gear that your life will depend on. Not to forget, proficiency in using that gear and knowing your limits is no less important, too. Looking forward to part 2.
I have spent three weeks bedridden after major surgery...I was being fed well...non the less I have lost about a quarter of my body mass ....I am slowly getting up and about again ...but I could not walk and it took considerable effort to get walking again...I'm walking now but short distances..a little more each day...I get tired really quickly...I understand what the doctor is talking about when he talks about loss of body mass ....
Thanks especially for the Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium Salt mix. Should they be in equal amounts? Maybe you could tell us on your next show. Keep'in me up to speed Nate!
There's always food around you just have to get used to eating something else that's not mainstream
I'd be really difficult if you live up north in the winter months
@@eriq54321Then Prep before that season.
💯facts.....here's a tip don't stay where you can't find food...move...
@@eriq54321
Some animals hibernate but not all. Up north Canada there are conifers which are high in vitamin C.
@@eriq54321
Diverse native populations managed just fine throughout history. We just have to seriously learn the necessary skills.😊
Having electrolytes in get home bags is paramount. You can go without food for a long time, but if you cramp up it's debilitating. His fasting comments are excellent. If you have never gone into ketosis it can become flu like, and your body becomes dehydrated much faster. Electrolytes are excellent in that situation as well. Walking a 100 miles to get home is impossible for half the population. Train accordingly.
Dirt or even soil has electrolytes but it tastes like dirt. Plants and trees leaves has some electrolytes.
@@tomcat6735Valid points with plants, but this isn't based on a living off the land scenario. "Get Home" is a plan to efficiently get you to a safe location while keeping you in an optimal mental / physical state. A One hundred mile traverse is 3 to 7 days for an average fit person with a good basic toolkit. Getting home fast is only the first step, and being able to recover quickly starts with good practices. Putting this into practice has been humbling at times. My next goal is doing a 10 day scenario. Anyone trying this remember its tick season!
You can buy powder packets to mix with water. Great to throw in your bugout bag.
I have high quality electrolytes sealed in straws in my bob.
You bet! Train like you fight!
Excellent guest, CP!
❤THANKS ❤
Great video. I have taken many notes. I think I will need to watch it once more.
Decades ago a politician in Columbus, OH did an extended hunger strike on the statehouse lawn in a tent. He went weeks, and wasted away, water only, so far that his body cannibalized his own brain and near the end you could tell his brain was going, slurred speech, limited vocab, slow cadence, difficulty understanding and answering questions from the press. He gave up before he died, but the damage seemed to permanently remove him from politics in Columbus, and he disappeared. Your guest was smart to stop on day 63. I think the politician went closer to 30 days, iirc.
100 days? Damn, even Moses had enough sense to break up his two extended fasts ...
This must explain all politicians.
His name? 😮
Gandhi’s longest fast was 21 days with only occasional sips of water.
Longest fast without solid food was 382 days with water, tea, coffee, vitamins, electrolytes, and occasional yeast for amino acids.
Generally 8-12 weeks of fasting with only water is fatal.
33 days here for health reasons.
My wife and I both come from isolated communities and believe me my family could live survive being dropped off in the middle of the woods. Of course we would need a little bit of supplies a few survival things knife, little bit of fishing lines and fishing hooks first aid supply all the stuff that we prepare with in a bug out bag. my community that I live in we plant gardens every season as a community we go fall hunting for moose deer as a community about 10 of us go every year to stock up the freezers for the community. I know communities that do the same further up north than I am at like a moose factory and further north, everyone of my kids knows how to start a fire with a Flint. Build a shelter we teach our kids about living out here I am confident my family could survive in the bush just like our ancestors did 150 years ago we are First Nations citizens and learning about our culture all the time the old ways .
Thank you for sharing. Much respect to you! 🙏
@Canadian Prepper, my wife was a Clinical Dietitian in the USA. She treated nursing home patients. She saw many people die of starvation -- naturally as part of the dying process -- when terminal patients could no longer swallow food.
She once saw an elderly woman live 45 days after only drinking Diet Coke. My wife says starving is not a bad way to go. She's tended 2,000+ deathbeds.
This just might be the best interview you have done so far. Thank you, Nate.
Love this guest! His wisdom was /is definitely worth sharing! “Do that one hard thing and build on it” has basically been my entire life philosophy!!!
You’re amazing! I bet you’re a great mom!
@@SurvivalDoctors awe thank you! I’m very proud of my sons. The oldest is in the navy and the youngest has one year of high school then his plan is also the navy. I’m an army vet, their dad (my husband) is a navy vet … I just pray every day we raised them to be strong enough but humble enough for this world.
The tv show ALONE i find that show to be restricted on moving to find better resources but it's definitely something worth looking into
New location this year! Seems like they’ll have good hunting and fishing!
Thank you for your dedication ✨

Great video..! A lot of interesting insight. I really enjoyed it.
Something i have been doing the last 20 years going once a year to a ten day silent Vipassana retreat . You been all cared for but its 9 days of silence no phone or talking. Just observing you mind. It's been a great tool to have . In 2015 i cycled alone for 14 months from Amsterdam to Balie at the age 54. Cycling through the desert of Uzbekistan in 43 Celsius and a broken rib. Having the abilitie to just observe pain knowing nothing last !
Thank you.
I knew this was going to be an entertaining show, and a reminder of what it takes to survive and be outdoors, but I didn't expect to learn anything new, and I did!!! Having Salt, Potassium, and Magnesium, in your bloodstream could save your life, is 100% against WHO, NIH, SNH, FDA, and CDC, (which is why I am a true believer now, haha!!! Thanks for the show!!! You kept interrupting him every time that he was going to talk about his modifications to his Multi-tool!!! He was talking about modifying it for Medical reasons/tool!! I was very curious to learn all the modifications for a survival tool/mode!!! I hope that he brings it back up in your second half!!! Thanks for the interview!!!
That Salt - move was really relly smart 😊👍🏻
Thank you!!!
Awesome guest! The epitome of do hard stuff, and mastering the mind. With all the stuff he has choosen to do, and having a calm disposition.
I have it on GOOD authority, All I need is a Slilky saw, and I can survive ANYTHING!
Best damn hand saw known to mankind
I prefer firearms under my pillow.

It cuts bone very well.
Nate gifted me a silky big boy and I’ll be taking it on my caribou hunt in Alaska and using it to flesh my hides :)
This was a great interview! I took a lot of great information from it. Looking forward to seeing the second half of it.
I applied for that show and got an interview with a show worker. I told them i found it humorous how all these survival experts couldnt make it 3 months.........let that sink in when you think you are gonna bug out......most arent experts and will die inside that first 90 days no matter the weather
A lot of the contestants weren't as good as they thought they were. Getting injured early on and couldn't handle being alone was their biggest demise. Also common sense seemed lacking. One guy didn't even bring a fire starter lmao. He was done pretty quick.
I strong feel that this series showed how far trained people could go ie those who res also health at the start. It was a study conducted how long someone can survive so that I the future whichever control of populations come out they would know how and how many people they need to hunt down
They only had 10 items they can have....we prep to have many items in the end

What I found impressive is he kept recording. I would probably not be bothered to record myself anymore 😂
Haha force of habit
I think it’s required for the show.
Awesome interview. I wanted to hear about his Leatherman setup. I'm curious to see his modifications.
Thanks, I forgot about the snare wire in my pack.
Double check the gauges as well because if it’s too thick, it’s not as sensitive for trapping small game like rabbits, foxes, squirrels etc
@@SurvivalDoctors I found this over on Amazon 'USGI Trip / Snare Wire 160' Vietnam Era Emergency Survival' has a 4 spool in green and yellow, I figure for anything smaller I'd use the fishing line. I wish I could find decent snare traps for sale, but I can make some using an old SAS survival book.
Great interview. Looking forward to part two.

I'd like to see anyone spend a week in the Australian outback during summer like this.
No its not croc dundee. Its dry scrubby eucalypt forest full of things that will kill you.
you better have some serious skills, most will die.
What all does it entail
@@GBall_Visionfinding water is the most critical problem. Out back summer - everything is baked dry. You'd have to know what vegetation and bird/ animal behaviours indicate water. If you have the resources you can create a ground still to distil water from vegetation. A lot of overseas tourists massively underestimate the vast travel distances and lack of resources when they travel through remote places. Most die when they break down and leave the vehicle to find help. Never leave your vehicle if you break down in the outback. Also, beware of drop bears in the more wooded areas 😉
@@karennewberry4694
Yeah, I’ve had some run-ins with drop bears...
LouiseAustralia 🦘
He did great on Alone. Congrats. He's the real deal.
Thanks CP
This edition will be kept as one of my favorite episodes... I've watched it three times, already...
Mindset is most definitely essential for survival. I appreciate what he notes as important elements for focus and what needs to be set aside. Becoming ok with, now, the reality that you have to become your own hero... noone is going to rescue you. Knowing how to avoid physical damage from lower calorie intake... starvation mode... makes me feel better about the excess I currently have to carry into the initial phase of just after SHTF. The importance of making changes in lifestyle choices NOW, so these are available and a part of who you are when they are needed and critical for continuance. The bare bones essentials to always have with you... the salt blend... rice water... the importance of fats in the diet... a lot if important information here. Thank You! ...both of you... 👍
Thank you for the video
Watching this again. Going to the notes this time. This video is scary and awesome thanks NATE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ you're the best
Morning, Nate!
That was a great interview giving lots of information. I wrote down the important details. 😊
Great content. Extreme for sure
Great video and looking forward to part 2.
Most people would succumb to the natural elements of heat, & cold in the first 24 to 48hrs out in the wild. They would die from dehydration or frostbite, & That's not even including accidents or animal attacks, & also mental failure.
I don't think so I think you are doubting people a little to much fifteen days would knock out alot but a day
Great interview, keep the information coming outstanding brother 🐊⚔️🪖
Great video. God bless you Nate in Jesus name.
This Dr. Is one of the best interviews of a real McCoy. What a cool friend to have
Man this is the first video ive seen on this channel. When he said just find that one thing everyday thats hard and do it got me uplifted.
Remember this about fasting.
It is better to fast for better food that to try survive on one instant noodle pack a day or low quality stuff like this, you'll die destroying your body thinking unlimited food going it's way.
0-7 days: no refeeding syndrome risk, break fast with small amount of food, preferably fatty protein.
7-14 day fast low no risk of refeeding syndrome. Break fast with fat then go protein, hard boiled eggs is an example.
More than 30 days ? Start with bone broth, very slowy, or if in a bad spot, beef tallow. If you want to die in 5 minutes ? Anything else in large quantity.
When prolonged fasting, body eats always fat first, it release growth hormone stoping the breakdown of muscle until around 5% body fat, the intense hunger pangs you feel when untrained the first 2 days is ghrelin cycle going down, and the flu symptoms is your body adapting to burn premium fuel, fat, it can take longer acording to your health. Your body will deplete it's sodium first, but it deplete it fast only in the first few days, then it retain sodium better, then potasium goes, 1week to 1month, depending on diet before hand and individual health, then shortly after magnesium. Always keep a stock of the 3, learn their symptoms, treat acordingly. All vitamins can be synthetize by the body itself, either by autophagy, or simply by being fat soluble. Only under 5% body fat everything become a problem, but the human body is smart, it will go thought the skeletal muscle first, then weaken the bones and shrink the liver, heart/brain and funnily enough testes&ovaries are always last.
What should we have in stock , then?
Sodium
Is iodised sodium any good/ better?
Magnesium sulphate?
Potassium chloride?
Are these available from heath/vitamins shops?
@@bipbip6626 i'd say go for tallow 1st, in a mason jar in your bugout bag, can save you life in so many way from makeshift candles to last ditch food, potasium&magnesium suplements, i took 500mg daily of potasium, you could 2x that, dont remember for magnesium but ÷2 for sure and you'll be fine, the exact kind ? I didn't headaches over this, suplements lol, survived well enough 33 days with terrible health. Salts go for iodized, but any salts work in a pitch. Any pharmacy, local walmart, dollarstore, cosco's, health shop, amazon, you get it, suplements ain't the rare stuff, neither expensive for what it is.
@@bipbip6626 fat, sodium, potasium, magnesium.
Prep in that order, but remember, each are very important, magnesium is hard to deplete but it can screw your life in a very, very bad way. Just like the others, to fast safely these are absolutly needed.
Great questions, great relating and putting yourself in the same position, unreal ! You ask how u can learn from their experience, and so do we.
Such intelligent conversation 👌
Bear: dinner!
Me: sleeping bag!
One of my favorite interviews. Thanks Nate
A word of caution about fasting-
Just know that fasting for as little as a week and coming off of fasting can kill you from eating too much. It has something to do with an electrolyte imbalance. Simple is not so simple.
Been practicing intermittent fasting and believe it would be a very helpful way to eat during food shortages or rationing.
