Never could figure out why the Lean to is supposed to be the Ultimate Shelter when using the exact same Tarp you can make a Plow Point that gives you 3 times the protection from the Weather!
Most survival videos are just "camping," something all Americans should experience-- which relates to the universal survival axiem "survival is easy- just don't die."
Easily, one of the best practical, reality based survival videos that I have ever seen. Proactive simple preparation and staying off the ground (conduction) is critical to most survival situations. 🪵🔥🌲👍
Thing about a ferro rod v. lighter or matches is that it is 100% waterproof (over matches) and 100% reliable (over a lighter). But hey, i generally carry all three.
We will see who really has survival skills if a G9 solar storm ever takes down the world wide electrical grid. It will be those that have a McGiver mindset or a Robinson Caruso mindset.
Nooo no one died in a survival video.. I’m gonna make an ai video on why they should have while I have a picnic on a picnic table and drive my 4x4 around
Learning to start fires is a core survival skill, but there are times when you need a fire fast...thats why bushcraft legend Ray Mears always carries a bic lighter and some rubber strips with him - And most other survival/bushcraft legends have the same mentality to be fair.
What is more hilarious are the standard prepper bug out bags. These are the bags filled with the items they think will be most useful if an emergency situation comes up that forces them to leave their house. Typical items include spears, fish hooks, wire, spark rods for starting fires, a pull saw for cutting wood, a disposable tarp... Supposedly this kit of junk is there in case the government comes to take their guns or the followers of the beast come to put a micro chip inside their head but even then the selection of items makes no sense. In any conceivable real emergency forcing you from your home (flood, fire, chemical spill, hurricane, tsunami) a person would be driving somewhere else and at worst car camping.
UnBearAble Grylls springs to mind with survival 'techniques' pretty much guaranteed to kill or serious maim you - Although there are three survival tips I would follow 1. Shelter: Before dark, have a helicopter pick you up and take you to a five star hotel (four star in a worst case scenario) 2. Food: Forage at the buffet early to make sure you get the best assortment of calories 3. Stay Hydrated: The mini bar is a reliable, if expensive, source of potable liquids. It's a cruel world.

Not enough channels say, "If you start a fire you'll survive the night. If you start a big enough fire, someone will find you before morning "
bushcraft, camping and survival is not the same thing. survival has lost all meaning. these video makers are clueless

If you are carrying "survival gear" in a backpack, you're just camping.

I have a fire steel.and some fire rope... as an emergency backup for a good old fashioned lighter.
One of my outdoor pursuits instructors announced it like this to new pupils;
Everyone should take, "Survival" videos with a grain of salt.
I agree with you on building a shelter from the landscape - way too much energy expended when food and time are in short supply.
I have been trying to get this through the thick skulls of some of my "Survivalist"/"Prepper" friends.

Once again, a very true video! Thank you for takig the time to make it! Cheers, Marc

My thoughts exactly! Truth and reality! Thanks.

Best solution for survival/ emergencies is to not get yourself into those situations.
