People are asking- What is the secret? It's being able to make fire when everything in the woods is covered with snow and wet. There are a number of skills under that heading demonstrated in this video. If enough people are interested, I can make another video explaining each one. Reply to this pinned comment to let me know. Thanks for watching. Hope to see you again soon. -Doug
Yeah I'd love to know more Doug.
Cheers mate.
Mick.
Absolutely
Im new. Just joined. Do to some unforseen circumstances. Probably going to be homeless soon. So any ideas to keep warm outdoors is appreciated.
Love your videos Doug, so yeah, make the videos 👍❤️🙏🏻
All the very best to you and yours 👍 🍻
Thanks for making these very useful videos. This knowledge is essential for survival.
What secret?
Please read the pinned comment. I just posted it. Thank you
If you have nothing in this world but have Jesus in your heart, then you are the richest person among all because you have accumulated treasures in heaven!
amen
Pastor Doug, I look forward to this one! I hope that you & your family are warm, safe, & well; especially, if you are in the path of these current blizzards & blasts of wintry weather! Our so-called "Warm Sunny South" is far from being warm. Take care & may God bless you & yours.
Hi Pastor George. It's been wet snow and rain here. God bless you, too!
One of the best videos I've seen from your channel. I appreciate them all because you give God the glory! Thanks
That’s a truly Spartan set up you have got there, living Winter camping right on the edge.
And this is real bushcraft, exactly the way I practice it, great video, thank you 😉
thank you
You have outdone yourself doug!
This video spoke to me
Your scripture always is in alignment with the video
Has there been any fatalities in the white mountains of New Hampshire this year?
Thanks. God bless you
Very nice Doug. Nice to brew up a nice cup of coffee or tea 😊. Aye, what knife were you using? 😊 Take care
Doug, yet another great vid. Like the song says, "nobody does it better". Thank you. A neighbor from the North.
I'd be cutting big long bows to block off the back and side of that tent. To keep the heat in and give more protection.
watched the whole thing i assume your SECRET is basic firelighting what a waste of time
the tarp style you have here is the one I kind of leen toward ( except I just use ridgeline and long stick along the middle ( from string to ground to give it more structure) so this can be described as 'modified leen-too with a front 1-2 foot overhang ( or modified 'A' -frame ) never tried it in wilderness just in my backyard. what I like about it is simple to set up you can have fire in front and basically protects against wind and precipitation and gives good view on who is approaching you ( main reason ) and probably can close off sides with something as well
Hi, Rajib. I saw you have a slideshow video on your channel showing how you set up the tarp and have the fire. Very nice.
@@DougShoeBushcraft ya that was old video ( I never thought it would get even one view -but you got to start somewhere ( a little seed can become 100 ft. tree one day ) but I don't do it for views or anything just stay busy and help others so now I know I may be getting views and forgot all about it
Doug, what brand is your ferro rod, that thing blasted a set of sparks, thanks
@@jerrytalley802 The Ebay seller is claiming the brand is "West Lake." IMO the primary reason it throws showers of sparks is the huge size. It's 1/2 inch diameter and 5 inches long. Here is the Ebay listing---- www.ebay.com/itm/292406016403
Another informative video by someone who has probably forgotten more about bushcraft and survival than many of us will ever know. Thank you Doug
Thank you. You're too kind. I don't think I'm worthy of that.
I like your vids - not a bunch high dollar stuff you just get it done like common folks
thank you.
Really good Doug! As an alpinist living in the Colorado Rockies I rarely encounter the situation you depict here. But I have nonetheless learned some things from this that some day may be really critical to me😊
Amen
Thanks Doug your vid’s are appreciated.
Hi from Brunswick, Maine, US.
Hello
Good Video. Split the wood to get to the dry center
Full of solitude. Like laying your head in the bosom of Christ. More reciting of the scriptures would be great. Were it not for His word we would not be here.
Amen. God bless
There is zero evidence any god. They call your religious beliefs faith because they cannot call it fact.
the things to know about winter camping, Keep your shelter little bigger than a coffin. Keep it sealed, insulated and reflective. Dont try to have a fire inside of it, cause doing so is very dangerous and inefficient. If you DO need a heat source, use 4 head-sized rocks, heated OUTSIDE of the shelter with a pair of opposing Siberian fire lays, heating both sides of the stones for half an hour.
Move the hot stones into a row of pits under your raised bed. Surround each stone with a 2" thick layer of wood ashes and they will warm your shelter by 20F degrees for 5+ hours. Snuff the flames with ashes or dirt, bury some coals and charcoal in the ashes and the fire will be remain "alive" for 12+ hours. Use an Alternative Swedish fire torch to reignite the Siberians if all is wet. YT has vids on both of these types of fire lays.
thanks for sharing
Nice peaceful , relaxing video. Very calming. Hope you weren't too cold. Happy Trails.
Nature's beauty at its finest - snow-covered landscapes are breathtaking
Another great video. Thanks Doug!
pull that whole branch over.... or i would have looked for a fallen log to build a fire against.
Branch? I think you mean the 60 foot long, fallen birch tree. It's too heavy for one man to pull over. Here's me in another video moving a relatively small section of the tree that I had cut off. ua-cam.com/video/afeI64RD694/v-deo.htmlsi=3VTQ09lRqUmWwdUr&t=138 It may give you an idea of the weight of the whole tree IRL
cool you the survivalists and it must be a blessing to be in Nature be safe thanks for your videos
@@DougShoeBushcraft
Good video Doug , thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !
God bless
Did you last the night Doug with just the fire and wrapped in wool blanket?
Cheers Doug, Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
I missed what the ‘secret’ was. Was it the fire?
Why would you make a video and not explain to us why you're doing what you're doing and teach us how to do what you're doing. What is the point of not speaking
Standing or leaning dead trees make excellent kindling. Feather sticks are excellent tinder. Great demonstration.
Sorry! Must have missed the secret. Maybe you could explain?
How about USING the none SECRET OF PROPERLY PREPARING….😊
Love watching you do real things.
thank you
I sincerely don't understand what the "secret" is.
Getting to the inner wood where it is dry and making thin strips to get your fire going. That’s my take.
@@deekelley891 thanks
I just left a pinned comment.
Can't wait!!!
see you in a few
Awesome video, keeping it simple..
Uhhh, so a tarp, a fire, a warm drink is the secret to your survival? Who'd a thunk it😂😂😂
The secret is being able to start a fire when everything in the woods is wet. Most people can't do that. Then under that heading are a number of skills demonstrated in the video.
Doug, which knife are you using in this video. I got a charge out of you trying to destroy your harbor freight knife, this one looks beefy.
Knife seen in this video--- Takumitak TKF208BK "Takumi"
Video review of the "Takumi" knife--- ua-cam.com/video/hdEZG_FEzq4/v-deo.html
Thank you. I've added that info to the video description now. I'm glad you were entertained by the HF knife video. I had a lot of fun making that one, as you probably could see
You could have taken the bark off that piece of birch you was beating your wood on, instead of the live tree.
all the birch bark came from the same, dead tree. The stump is to the left of the shelter. It's a tall stump (maybe 7 feet tall) because it broke in a storm. The remainder of the birch tree is laying down in from of the shelter
was good until the end!
awesome.God bless.
I like everything about this video. I would like to see what you would do if a snowstorm blows in and what modifications you would do?
fire????
I enjoyed the peacefulness of it, and also the Psalm at the end. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amazing what some people will do for attention don't waste your life looking for attention kidoo 😂
Explain what's going on most of us bushcrafters can build a fire. But for the young newbies explain to them what you are doing and why you are doing a particular way
What’s wrong with u wasting time
This is the old way of teaching
Doug "One strike" Shoe. That's your new nickname.
Thank you for the video and the holy scripture, Doug.
Thank you for all you do. Keep up the Good Work.
Makes me feel like I'm right there. Very nice.
If you have an old wheelbarrow, you can make a gear sled out of it, and haul firewood, and more...(I just finished making one).
Nice!
I hate to tell ya but fire aint a secret and ya didn't even talk in this vid to explain what you where doing ?! the end with a scripture verse was a nice touch though
Thanks for commenting. I respect your view on this. My view is that most people can't make a fire when the woods are covered with snow. If you can then it's not a secret to you. Please read the comment I just pinned to the top.
Another great video, Are you still using that beaver craft hatchet? I recently got it pretty impressed with it. Also nice view count on this video 👍
Thank you so much. Yes, I am using the Beavercraft hatchet. It's one of my favorites.
The secret to avoiding hypothermia is simple. Stay dry and out of the wind.
That can help, but you can be dry, out of the wind, and hypothermic.
Hello from snowy Iowa. Waiting for our 2nd big snow and brutal cold temps! Thanks for your videos!
We've had snow here, but then above average temps some days with rain or a mix.
Hot water bottles are a game changer
Thank you for this video. Looks like a great setup.
thanks for watching
Pastor doug , hello from mississiooi. Enjoy your stories
Hello. Thank you. I don't know where mississiooi is.
Excellent!
I'm sorry I don't get out much so what was the secret
Watch his video....
I pinned a comment on top a few minutes ago to address this.
So, what is the secret?
The secret is being able to start a fire when everything in the woods is wet and covered with snow. There are a number of skills under that heading demonstrated in the video.
Hi Doug 🙋
hello
So so cool ❤
thank you
I don't watch bushcraft to be preached too or have the bible quoted to me! Just unsubscribed!
You don’t have to announce your decision-just go on your way.
