    YEA DAWGIES
    Welcome back to another video!
    In this video I attempt a 3 day solo survival challenge in out back Australia with no food water or shelter. Find shelter and starting fire was extremely hard and the mosquitoes at night were sooo bad I nearly quit. walking into the bush with only a knife aint easy but we got it done.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.

    Respect man. So many people on TH-cam go out on a weekend survival "challenge" and say they have no supplies but anyone who's ever been truly dehydrated knows what it looks and they hardly ever look like they are truly without water. Again, anyone who knows the deal could recognize your shrunken ghostly white lips which were screaming "this body needs water ASAP" and you can't fake that. Thanks for keeping it real but please stay safe. We don't wanna lose you over a challenge video mate.

    29:53 Good job with the fire. A lot of guys that upload YT videos just try once and then use matches or a lighter. You sir have my respect.
    Tip: if you have shoelaces make a bow with it and use it to rotate the stick. Make the stick shorter and put and piece of wood in the top to push it down. It will ignite faster and less tiring.

    Just come across this, top effort lad. Well filmed and it's great to see someone going out and doing it as themselves (not the typical bushcrafter). I've spent quite a lot of time over my life living out of my troopy, living off the land, spent time with ex SAS doing survival etc. I'd say we're similar age or close to and have a similar style.
    Watching you struggle with the hand drill, completely understood the frustration. I've been in a similar situation one night and switched to using my shoelace to make a bowdrill. Saves some energy and the hands!

      Man, interesting callouts. I grew up in forested mountains in America, spent lots of time outdoors. It definitely shocks me the basic stuff that a lot of people from cities don't do intuitively. Like they don't even know how to walk on a mountain without slipping and falling, and they don't seem to be able to see the paths available to them or know how to find their way back. It's about 90% unconscious and 10% conscious.
      But it hasn't really occurred to me that the outback would be a totally different beast. I do think I could work in a straight line without man made navigation aids (something you pick up just being in nature almost anywhere), but it does make me wonder the other, small things that people who are actually native to the bush would do without thinking that wouldn't even occur to me.

      As a physicist his way of finding east and west is incorrect as if you continue to mark every hour you'll find you don't have a line but a parabola and your actual east west would be if you measured the same amount of time difference relative to noon such as 10 am and 2 pm or 9 am and 3 pm. If you don't do this you've just called east and west a short line that somewhere on a curve at random and grossly inaccurate.

    • @brandondrew4914

      By his methods the later past noon the farther right of actual north he would be traveling and similarly with earlier except left as it relates to the actual compass.

    • @brandondrew4914
      @brandondrew4914 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The beginning and end of your parabola would be marked by sunrise and sunset which would give you the most amount of data and therefore the most accurate measurement of East and west as we know to be true. If you knew where on that parabola you were you could adjust for left and right mathematically amd you can by figuring out the length ot your arc over a certain period of time as the farther from noon you get the longer the arc.

    14:40 is where the real show begins. I was laughing super hard and can't tell you how refreshing it is to see someone attempting to make a fire with the right knowledge and right tools but not the right experience. A sort of relatability to our own overconfidence in these types of situations "just because [we] you see it online doesn't mean it's as easy as it looks in person". This small failure instantly made the video 100x times more engaging and interesting, like watching Castaway. I'm now invested to see how the story either triumphs or if the distress beacon at the start of the video becomes a grim foreshadowing.

    Don't know if this has been said before, but when doing the spindle technique to make fire, you can create two loops in a small rope or shoelaces for your thumbs and run the string on top of the spindle being used. It keeps your hands in place for continuous spinning and helps from not getting blisters and shredding your hands up. Great job man! That's tough work!

      Yes! I mentioned something similar. I’ve use a stick that resembles a bow used for arrows. I used a shoe lace from my boot then get a small piece of wood with a small indentation in it to hold it at the top with enough pressure to keep it in place. Push the bow in a horizontal movement back & forth while holding the spindle vertical. As long as your materials are dry, you will have a fire with not much effort or energy

    You have a compass on you - your watch. Levelling the watch, point the hour hand at the sun, bisect between the hour hand and 12 and that gives you north. To save your bands, make a firebow with a shoelace. Also rub eucalyptus into your hat and clothes.
