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.
I love how he doesn’t really tell us to like, share and stuff that proves that he is just sharing his enjoyment and journey with us, appreciate you man
Aint seen the sonoran desert yet, round where i live theres teddybear cholla cacti. The reason its called teddybear cholla is because its covered in so many barbed thorns you cant see the plant
The only thing that concerned me was the lack of fuel he had on hand after getting that fire started!! I'm like "QUIT CELEBRATING AND FIND SOME DAMN WOOD"!😂😂
@@johnauer4234 I think it's debatable that he had the resources to make a bow. He definitely knows how to make and use them, if he could have he would. I think.
people never realize how hard it is to walk a straight line in the bush. Knowing how to read time with shadow is very key. This dude was trained somewhere because unless you grow up in the bush people dont know this. Edit and making that fire is extremely hard. It's is so intense. You literally have to push yourself to the limit sometimes. I felt for this guy
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.
This is exactly why I went to survival school in New Hampshire, Vermont, and the American south west. (Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Nevada) because of the experience to be able to do something like this and enjoy it. Love this guys video content.
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.
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.
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.
Much respect. I learned a long time ago to keep a small magnifying glass in your kit. Beats the crap out of a bow drill. Again, you are an inspiration. Great vid👍
i mean obviously, but that'd mean it would have to be sunny, and you see how shadowy and dark it is, he barely needs to drink water so humid there is xD@@deew5587
I watch a lot of survival video's. Matt is the real deal. I love that he doesn't cheat like sneaking a lighter or something. Matt you are reckless and you take chances and that's what makes your video's epic. Sleepless nights, mosquitos and dirty canned water with floaties. You the man. Keep up the videos I will watch them as long as you keep posting. Cheers from America.
As a survival enthusiast myself, ive watched many channels. But the fact you shared the sun compass right away but you share the struggle, realness and have an educational aspect to your content, I subscribed within the first few minutes.
He's crazy for going out there without some equipment to atleast light a fire, the bush in Australia is such a barren landscape I know it's supposed to be a challenge but tbh that would be a challenge if he bought a hiking pack full of equipment and food how on earth he expected to sleep in that cave is beyond me.😆
@@blakehayes9035 if you got stranded u eoukd be equip with a survival bag pack bruh. So it makes it a but realistic to not have anything to make a fire
I’d probably bring emergency equipment, but try not to use it. Like just in case I can’t start a fire, I have a box of matches with me so I don’t just straight up die
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.
This episode was great. I felt real dread in the beginning, no fire or water, sun going down. But then the relief, fire, water, food, and a cool trap. Amazing!
This was awesome - best Aussie bushcraft channel I've seen. Found you recently via Greg Ovens channel - he was in Oz & asked for local guide recommendations. Half the comments section said "Field Days." I now understand why!
@@منوعاتاحترافية65 haha 🤣 what can I say , I'm not built like matt, I'm a city boy that thought fish came in packaging, already filleted straight out the sea until field days made me realise lmao 🤣
Hey man, so i used to watch Bear Grylls, and he said in a video that if you put just a teeny tiny pinch of sand into the hole where you are drilling to create an ember for a fire, that tiny bit of sand helps to create more friction
Good to know if it ever came to it. One thing I seen from bear grylls was seeing him eat a steak with film crew while on a survival challenge. Big let down
I really felt sad when you were looking for bait and found the tiny little gecko until you said “but I couldn’t do it to em” all of my stress and sadness went away. So much respect bro I love your videos
🙄 I guess you didn’t feel sad and anxious when he used the fish for bait? Lol it’s so weird how people will cry over a gecko but not even spare a thought for a fish or an insect. This is how nature works, something has already eaten that gecko
even though it started out rough in the end this was an awesome survival spree. in the end you had shelter, fire, water, food and quite a bit of comfort in less than 3 days, good job! hard work pays off :D
Começando a assistir seu primeiro video.. nunca tinha te visto aqui... gosto destes videos.. mas fiquei angustiado em ver você tentar acender o fogo... talvez fosse mais fácil usar aquela garrafa quebrada e fazer um prisma usando os raios do sol!!!
This is awesome. Back in the 80s people used to try this out west and they died regularly. These days with GPS and other tech you guys are living the dream. It's awesome to watch.
Matt this episode was EPIC EPIC EPIC!!, it shows the struggles you really face out there man. That first day and night without a fire, food and drinking water shows how tough and resilient you are but giving up is never a choice. I also love your respect for animals and nature in general, these solo survival episodes are my fav! Seeing how you use nature to get a sense of direction, making fire from scratch, mosquito repellent, the ingenius traps to catch fish, absolutely amazing! I'm always watching your back for crocs in the water, stay safe out there man, YEAH DAWGIES! AWOO!!!
You are amazing. I'm from Germany and a huge fan of survival and bushcraft. It's so nice to see this on the other side of the globe with all that different materials and vegetation, compared to europe.
I never watch survival videos that are 40 mins or more but I’ve just binged 2 back to back. I never met someone I really fond of without meeting personally. This guy is nice and smart !!
Part of the reason why it was so hard to start the fire is because the tinder you where using didn’t have enough surface area, you should have pulverized the grass so it was more fibrous
I appreciate the legitimacy, most channels that do the same thing are not actually real like yours and I appreciate that. Keep it going Brother we all love it 🤟
I love watching his videos because they’re real and raw and educational, it’s interesting to watch and he makes us feel apart of the adventure, very well done 👏🏽👏🏽
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
So soothing and relaxing it is to watch your videos. This is exactly what I needed after a long day of work. This helps to get transferred into a whole different world.
I've been watching this dudes videos for the past few days . Probably a couple of hours of watch time I've put on his channel and not once have I heard him tell the viewers to like and subscribe. Love this type of genuine content.
I got way too excited when you started that fire lol. Love the work you do, man. This is every free day of my summers since 2014, and I know that feeling EXACTLY! Never done it in the outback, though. Totally different beast.
Great storytelling mate. Watching you fail so many times trying to light that fire I was right there with you. I’ve tried to do that before. It is amazingly hard. When you finally got it I was jumping for joy. Great job lighting the fire, possibly better job sharing your story. I’m subscriber now. This is my first video of yours I’ve ever watched. Can’t wait to watch more.
Hey just a little safety tip don’t boil in cans like that Bc on the inside there is a thin plastic film lining the can and it can get in the water if u melt it but love the vid and what you do keep up the good work much love
Eh, you gotta do what you gotta do when surviving. Hell, you can even boil water in a plastic bottle if you had to. Tastes like shit and is toxic, but it'll kill the immediate nasties in the drink.
Petition for Field Days to start a Discord server: Some ideas it could have could consist of A general chat so people can just talk A VC (voice chat) I place where people can could upload some stuff they have done in the wild Just an idea but it would be great for the field days fanbase
I do recently keep posting his videos in a discord channel of a German Reaction you Tuber who watches bushcraft and survival stuff and hopefully he will react someday to this to grow Field Day's audience.

Bro I know you suffered a lot while making this but THANK YOU... this video was EPIC! Best one EVER. Only thing is that I woulda LOVED to see some scenic shots of the cave all lit up by the fire at night. I know there isn't much to do at night but its SUPER interesting to me! But seriously thanks again you're a BEAST!!!
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!
First time stumbling across your channel mate and I must say the content is top tier! Absolutely love your videos and what you do! Much love from New Zealand ❤️
This was crazy entertaining, legitimately a great watch and very informative. I had to check the comments for the "shoelace" trick, that one seemed pretty standard to me. I couldn't help but think you'd be a tiny bit cooler if you wore all white instead of all black, but I'm sure it wouldn't have mattered much.
On a school camp once we were given only a can of tuna a tarp and a few tent pegs. We were allowed to go fishing and we ended up all eating zebra fish, tiny rock cod, and one red mullet (which one of the fillets was dropped into the fire). It was good fun though.
Suggestion to help with the bugs is to find a clay or mud and spread on to your arms and any exposed area and it should prevent the bugs and mosquitoes from bitting by being rough an bugs cannot go through as easy
Watching you finally succeed in a primative firedrill was AMAZING. Ive been practising primative fire techniques for a while and it is NO joke how hard it is. Cheers man
Thank you for this, my absolute favorite channel on TH-cam. You've inspired me to start fishing and it's been really really fun. Looking forward for your fishing knots video! Much love from Portugal ❤️
He's running round looking for supplies, hours of hikes, climbing, trying and failing to build a fire and for a day and a half he doesn't drink any fluids under the hot desert sun, madness
Massive respect, most people that does this would have some kind of backup water or food off cam but you did it legitimately. And start a fire legitimately without a fire starter kit. 💪🏻

Can we just appreciate how much work he does setting up his camera all the time?
Notice how he walks off for the audience but always has to go back pick it back up
I was totally paying attention to that, well both of these points… especially when he was fishing!
This is definitely one of your best videos! The fire struggle was real.
so he tried making fire for 30 ins then paused to change the camera angle
I've watched this episode over 10 times now, this is legit survival, huge respect for taking this challenge and making this video so entertaining.
Entertaining, sure, survival? he wouldnt survive a month-
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!
If you had shoe laces, I suggest you make a bow. You can generate alot of speed.
I was going to comment the same thing! it was difficult to watch knowing he could have started fire with his fishing line and another stick
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
So soothing and relaxing it is to watch your videos. This is exactly what I needed after a long day of work. This helps to get transferred into a whole different world.
I've been watching this dudes videos for the past few days . Probably a couple of hours of watch time I've put on his channel and not once have I heard him tell the viewers to like and subscribe. Love this type of genuine content.
My mans looks like he just finished his shift at the skate shop and launched into a 3 day outback challenge in vans. Love it!
I got way too excited when you started that fire lol. Love the work you do, man. This is every free day of my summers since 2014, and I know that feeling EXACTLY! Never done it in the outback, though. Totally different beast.
This man touches shit with so much confidence it's amazing. Without hesitation!
Was looking for this comment dawg no ones talking abt it 😭
🤣
Who doesn't touch shit?
The way it was with no hesitation the look on my face😭
@@cybz_millionboss you touch your shit?!😟
Frick man, use a shoelace to make a bow drill, save your hands...
Was going to say the exact same thing lol.
@@dannydropshot9588Ha ha I was thinking the same thing.
That moment when you got the fire going felt like movie cast away. What a relief awesome work champ!
Top quality content man, never thought something like this was on youtube, thats even better than Netflix bro, keep the good work coming and be safe!
Great storytelling mate. Watching you fail so many times trying to light that fire I was right there with you. I’ve tried to do that before. It is amazingly hard. When you finally got it I was jumping for joy. Great job lighting the fire, possibly better job sharing your story. I’m subscriber now. This is my first video of yours I’ve ever watched. Can’t wait to watch more.
Who wanna go for it is it just got home even though it was coffee shop they reached an agreement with guns blazing on November 6

@@king_danny4269??
@@king_danny4269 come again sir .....SAY WHAT!!!!!! 👀
Watching this instead of going to school. Thank you for making this video
I respect him soo much and I like how he didn’t make it look easy on us, it takes tears and sweat just to make a fire
This was the best video I’ve ever seen. It’s not clickbait which most vids are, and he actually knows stuff. Best. Video. Ever.
Hey just a little safety tip don’t boil in cans like that Bc on the inside there is a thin plastic film lining the can and it can get in the water if u melt it but love the vid and what you do keep up the good work much love
Maybe food cans drink cans do not have a lining
@@Snaf69 Drink cans do have a plastic lining.

@@rodneyolayinka7742 thought it was more a food grade lacquer sprayed on and baked
Eh, you gotta do what you gotta do when surviving. Hell, you can even boil water in a plastic bottle if you had to. Tastes like shit and is toxic, but it'll kill the immediate nasties in the drink.
Aluminum isn't the greatest material to cook with regardless. The plastic would be the least of my worries
Question- could you have used any part of the old wasp hive? Maybe for starting the fire. Just curious
The fact this man made a compass from kangaroo shit & some sticks is just amazing. He deserves way more credit for the true content he is providing.

Petition for Field Days to start a Discord server:
Some ideas it could have could consist of A general chat so people can just talk
A VC (voice chat)
I place where people can could upload some stuff they have done in the wild
Just an idea but it would be great for the field days fanbase
I do recently keep posting his videos in a discord channel of a German Reaction you Tuber who watches bushcraft and survival stuff and hopefully he will react someday to this to grow Field Day's audience.
Field Days my brother! 💯💯💯 Thank you sooo much for creating this channel.

Anyone hating on this man have never done anything of importance. He's saving lives by putting his life on the line.
I could watch these solo survivals all day. Amazing content!
Yes amazing indeed
Honestly
YOU NEED 2 SUB TO FEILD DAYS!!!!!!! U ARE NOT ALR!
Let's go dawgies 🤙THE SOLO SURVIVAL ARE BACK!! can't wait to watch!!
Bro I know you suffered a lot while making this but THANK YOU... this video was EPIC! Best one EVER. Only thing is that I woulda LOVED to see some scenic shots of the cave all lit up by the fire at night. I know there isn't much to do at night but its SUPER interesting to me! But seriously thanks again you're a BEAST!!!
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!
What a raw experience... thanks for no bullshit and your honest video man
First time stumbling across your channel mate and I must say the content is top tier! Absolutely love your videos and what you do!
Much love from New Zealand ❤️
Che Māori Malcolm Douglas is an OG check him out sometime
Him “this bottle could be a weapon tonight” his knife am I a joke to you
Thats not a knife, in australia a knife only becomes a knife by The crocodile dundee approval process.
@@Jfscloud723 still do a lot of damage tho
This was crazy entertaining, legitimately a great watch and very informative. I had to check the comments for the "shoelace" trick, that one seemed pretty standard to me. I couldn't help but think you'd be a tiny bit cooler if you wore all white instead of all black, but I'm sure it wouldn't have mattered much.
On a school camp once we were given only a can of tuna a tarp and a few tent pegs. We were allowed to go fishing and we ended up all eating zebra fish, tiny rock cod, and one red mullet (which one of the fillets was dropped into the fire). It was good fun though.
Love the authenticity of all your works man . Respect
He is not only incredibly dishonest but also absolutely stupid.
I like how he loves the nature and only take what is absolutely necessary ❤️
In a deep depression and seeing this guy catch fish just made me so happy it feels good
Videos like these really makes me appreciate what I have and how fortunate I am
Appreciate your effort mate. This is what I called a quality content🤩
Suggestion to help with the bugs is to find a clay or mud and spread on to your arms and any exposed area and it should prevent the bugs and mosquitoes from bitting by being rough an bugs cannot go through as easy
Bro they can go through our flesh why would mud stop them
@@hajidle when mud dries it becomes super hard some people even make houses out of it
The struggle is addictive to watch
Just when i needed something to watch this bloody legend posts and it’s an hour long🤌😩 How good
Cheers for inspiring us aspiring creators Matt, appreciate it man. From South Aussie🤙🏻🇦🇺
Yewww South aussie pride
@@camzkustomz3885 Hell yeah bro🤙🏻
Pride is trash 🗑
Bet the night skies out there are incredible. Any chance you could talk about them briefly or film it on your next survival?
Yeah there isn’t any light pollution there
@@blazingpanther519 literally none at all. Wish everywhere was like that
Crickets ! Best fish bait definitely!
Watching you finally succeed in a primative firedrill was AMAZING. Ive been practising primative fire techniques for a while and it is NO joke how hard it is. Cheers man
I was screaming bcos he could have used the bottle for a fire lighter but did it with the drill anyway 😢
Survive The Plane Crash
his joy about getting the fire going is so contagious :)
rabbit shid in that cave yo!
I felt that ‘fuck yeah!’
John Plant on Primitive Technology makes it look so easy. I know it isn't because I have tried it. I reckon he must have hands made of leather by now.
It’s so weird how it felt like this was 20 minutes. I loved this video, when I saw it was an hour I was so suprised but this was amazing
maybe you can next time add the eucalyptus to water and drink tea? love the compass and the bark bowl im learning so much thank you.
Your next shirt:
Look At That ASH!
I was rather hoping for a "Suicide Mullet" Tee. :D
Thank you for this, my absolute favorite channel on TH-cam. You've inspired me to start fishing and it's been really really fun. Looking forward for your fishing knots video! Much love from Portugal ❤️
Just admire the energy this man has if that was me after that two hour walk from the car i would of pressed the red button
🤣😂
This should be taught in schools as a mandatory subject and this guy should be the teacher.
I would love if they did that
says he's going to drag a log but then drags a full tree with him. love the content!!!!
The gratitude this guy has puts us all to shame in our insulated lives, with so little, the smallest of things is a big win, top bloke.
He's running round looking for supplies, hours of hikes, climbing, trying and failing to build a fire and for a day and a half he doesn't drink any fluids under the hot desert sun, madness
Massive respect, most people that does this would have some kind of backup water or food off cam but you did it legitimately. And start a fire legitimately without a fire starter kit. 💪🏻
