It's very true, although he picks very resourceful areas with alligning weather. Imagine that fire and shelter if it was raining. The leaves would make it wet inside the shelter, and the fire would be hard to make. Not discrediting the survival possibilities here, just saying that it would be a very different story
Tom, can't help but comment on your equanimity throughout your piece. No wacky weirdness or sensationalism. Honestly, I stumbled upon your vid, and, as a comparatively, well-traveled outdoorsman, I am both humbled and inspired. Really, wonderful presentation. Thanks!
Just wanted to say - a really absorbing and potentially highly useful video. It's not very often that one sees a video that's so entertaining whilst factual, void of dramatics and potentially life-saving. Nice one!
Grape vine water is new to me, too. Just be careful to tell the difference between wild grape, poison ivy, and Virginia creeper. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Poison_Ivy_and_Grape_Vines.JPG Basically if it's hairy, be wary lol!
Thanks again for the great response everyone. Not sure what is next, maybe Australia desert or the Amazon. If interested in classes check out my schedule and website. California Edible, Medicinal Plants and Survival is up next! www.wildsurvivalskills.com/courses1.html
I'm trying to get my friends to watch these survival shows, I'm from the Tenn mountains I know how to find my natural springs & water witch, etc.... but I want my friends prepared just in case they need to hit the woods to survive.... never hurts to learn something that's good.... as they say knowledge is power.... Thank you for making these & caring enough about people to offer it to them freely.... Bless you
Which of your shows if any have edible plants in Tennessee? I'm a cripple now so I couldn't go into my woods any more if anything real bad happens but I have 7 grandsons in my county, I'd like to teach them more then what I taught their dad's.... Their dad's can hunt & fish & trap & track they've spent a lot of time in the woods but I never covered edible plants.... Wish I had....
Sorry to burst your bubble, but whilst ptaquiloside (the carcinogenic component of bracken fern) is sensitive to heat, it is far more stable to heat when it's still bound up in the matrix of the plant itself. Secondly, ptaquiloside likely isn't the only carcinogenic compound in bracken. I really, really, would not recommend you ever consume bracken fern again, for your own sake.
Hey Joshua, Yeah it always seems to be a grey area where some people say that anything harmful burns off and then some say dont eat them no matter what. Ive done a fair amount of research and feel that its safe to do on occasion. Which other compounds besides ptaquilosides have you found to be harmful and not volatile to heat. I genuinely would be into reading and research you have done that suggest that heat doesnt render them near harmless. If you can send me links Id be thrilled to read what you have. honest-food.net/2016/04/28/bracken-fern-edible/
I was massively impressed with that fishing, Incredible. I've never seen such a cool and new way of how the old and primitive, basic way of fishing in play. Well done, this was very informative and cool!
Really enjoying these videos, mate. No ego to your approach, just pragmatically stepping through each phase of what you're doing. It's really easy to follow, and I can't wait to get outdoors and try some of this. Subscribed and looking forward to more vids!
What 'parasites' are you referring to, exactly ? By the time water boils (100degC), it's already had time to kill any pathogens. 85 degC does the trick so, even at altitude, boiling for any length of time just wastes fuel. Boiling/distilling supersedes all chemical purification ('filtering', drops) and is second only to reverse osmosis for purification.
this video was actually useful I saw a video where someone tried to teach how to make a fire " then use your firestarter kit" that guy stole 3 minutes of my lifebbut this vid actually helped
The eastern woodlands have so many resources for survival. It's easy to see why most natives lived there and not in the desert mountain west where I live. Tom's video on "How to survive alone in the desert" highlights the difficulty of surviving in the desert west. I really enjoy these videos, he's calm and very good about explaining each step.
The best part about this video.. is he did all this with a cheap - made in China - $15 knife. I'm a knife collector. High end, $400-$600 knives. This is an eye opener. I'm going to be reccomending this video to everybody in the knife collector community. NOICE!!
I find it cool how i instantly recognize what plants/trees he’s interacting with sinply cause i live in the east but i never knew the names of all these plants and trees
Man, this is great. I've learned how to make a bow drill before, but not to angle the string so it doesn't rub on itself. Little tips like that make all the difference and they're dotted throughout this video like nuggets of goooold
i knooooow, such a great comment. This is precisely why I have been watching survival/cooking videos for years now, ever since i was living in nyc and desperate to escape. I'm slowly adding up a lot of really good info i never had any idea of before, shit i didnt even know you could eat bone marrow or cook down bones to get more nutrients, eat fish heads etc when I started!!! All the info matters.. Dont forget in all this to focus as much as you can on local area survival too- you can reduce the amount of information you need to memorize and get great tips. Now I know how to clean poison puffer fish, use saw palms for tinder, load a rifle, can foods, forage for dandelions, make sea grape preserves, find oysters, avoid dangerous mushrooms and build cob housing!!! This stuff is really quite confidence-building and every new fact adds up to a greater knowledge of the natural world!!
when he said "I'm gunna throw that in my teepee" I was like "Please for the love of God do NOT put that in your shelter." I soon after realized he was talking about his fire pit, and that his shelter isn't a teepee.
Eastern forests have to be one of the easiest places to survive. I live in TN. Absolutely no shortage of water, food, or wood. I'm trying to get my wife into bushcrafting
Love these vids sooo much! Idk why I enjoy watching survival guides so much but they help me feel prepared just in case something happens. Guess these are my guilty pleasures 😂.
Hi Tom, i'd like to say, this is probably the best on actual survival i have seen thus far and also probably the only vid in quite a few years i actually learned something useful from.
The simple life is so simple, yes takes energy and effort but thats life and yet many of chose to survive on Walmart and don't even have a clue how to survive , its no wonder we are so unconnected with the planet anymore we have lost touch with natural survival skills
I dont think its that important to survive in the open anymore since we are getting more and more advanced in every way as a society and also the simple life your referring to is surviving in the wild not thriving and how are people supposed to be as connected to the world as people before the technology age as phones, tv’s, and computers are becoming more integrated in our lives more and more by the day
I remember years ago, learning how to create a rope like that from thax. A weed, an old craftsman showed me that at hunting camp. Good times, p.s. my friend put together a survival library - working on it like 11or 12 years. He sent it to me before doing his homestead full time off the grid. Happy to get it to anyone who wants access.
Dude... I learned more in this episode than all the other channels ive seen together.. Getting fire explained so well I think Cody Lundene would be impressed..From materials, putting it all together to completion..
Not only am I lucky enough to live in the Colorado Rockies i'm replying from Pike National Forest. I highly advocate getting out as soon and often as you can! I LOVE it out here!
Excellent! It brought memories of Borneo where I was trained by the Iban in 1969. So important is angle of bow when fire lighting as it it so DOES break! Nice survival video.
You ever realize that in that exact same position, 21:50, a man millions and millions of years ago may have been sitting just like that in the exact same place fiddling with sticks and twigs, trying to make a fire for himself. Crazy
col. yabjfd i’m 59 years old and I often ask the young people today were you ever a Boy Scout or a Girl Scout it is amazing to me kids don’t even know how to thread a needle so on a button much less crochet or net not that I do any of it but I know how if I had to they don’t know how to make a fire they don’t know how to cook if it’s not in the microwave they’re lost it’s just sad! I always say if I could take three things into the wilderness it would be strikeless matches a Compass and a knife
Except for the climbing in the tree for a stick this is the first survival channel I’ve watched that is realistic. Hope part two is good also. Thumbs up
one of the best ACTUAL BOW METHOD of actually starting a fire. Well done! i appreciate the reality. not the bull that we mostly get presented. I advise all interested to watch this reality method!
I always wondered how to make a water container without bamboo. Now i know. Amazing how much water you can get from a grape vine. I was under the mis-conception that fish hooks had to have barbs. Great onfo! I sent this link to my brother-in-law who is putting together his bugout bag. Really enjoyed this video.
Hi Tom, I Can't believe I haven't seen your videos until now. Awesome stuff, I just wish I was living back east to take advantage of some of the new possibilities I learned in this video. It would be nice to see a series on the PNW. Keep up the good work.
5/6/20 here. Happy to see younger folks still out alone in the woods for at least a week or more. Good for the spirit. Well done. I’ve spent my share alone out there boy do I miss it sometimes. I’ll teach my son in case there’s any woods left in 2040. Enjoyed this. Stay healthy.
I hope to one day get up the courage to try and survive in the wild to get a break from Trump and the city life in general. I really appreciate people who are willing to teach others what they know. Thank you,
I really like this video and can't wait to watch part 2. So far, this has been a great video. You not only show what you are doing, but you explain everything in sufficient detail that even the inexperienced should be able to understand and use with little problem.
Thanks Tom.., Very informative information. I had always wondered about primitive fish hooks but not enough to study the subject and their you are taking the mystery out of it.
This is great Tom. You;ve packed in so much valuable information, and done it in a way that makes this knowledge accessible. UK flora and fauna are ilkely a bit different, but the skills you are sharing seem like they would come in handy in any similar climate/terrain. You definately make this look easier than it ilkely is, but you also show us the pitfalls and how to navigate them.
This video is a billion times better than all the others. you could actually watch this twice and do it,...and live nicely while doing it. and all under 35 minutes. Tom is in a class all his own lets be honest.
Just think if, the world went back to living off the land without internet and a grocery store.....ppl would have to learn quick to survive or adapt to change
If civilization collapsed, more than 95% of everyone alive would not be alive by the end of the first six months, most would die within the first couple of weeks.
hii Gray i bet you're not gonna read this cuz you're too focused on the video but anyway just wanted to say thank u for the addiction of watching survival videos you got me
Its usually a sign of a master that he does not add drama or talk up the difficulty of what he is doing. He just gives you the information. Next spring I am going to try that bark cordage for a dow drill. I am going to have to find what I have locally that does the same job -Wych Elm or Lime maybe? Whatever bark it is, I know it will not be as easy as he made it look. Good tip on tilting the bow to save the cordage, I never realised that. Thanks.
This man got me thinking I could actually make it in the woods
Right.
When you know you can last 2 minutes without seeing a huge spider and crying to get out-
@@brvkensouls4429 it’s a bonus if. You find a spider get a free snack wink wink
@@brandonthefateful5095 Actually? I really, really hate Insects especially spiders but I only have a problem if they are inside my room, while camping i never at any problems with insects around, but I would not eat them though (i mean better than starving...)
This guy makes all of the "survival shows" look like amateur hour. He literally did all of this with a pocket knife. Good stuff to know.
This is what i been saying all the time bam that how it done
And barefoot!
It's very true, although he picks very resourceful areas with alligning weather. Imagine that fire and shelter if it was raining. The leaves would make it wet inside the shelter, and the fire would be hard to make. Not discrediting the survival possibilities here, just saying that it would be a very different story
GOTHICforLIFE1 He would adapt if he knew it would rain.
@@GOTHICforLIFE1 but wouldn't he be sure to know the area first and also act accordingly, so he would survive pretty well
Tom, can't help but comment on your equanimity throughout your piece. No wacky weirdness or sensationalism. Honestly, I stumbled upon your vid, and, as a comparatively, well-traveled outdoorsman, I am both humbled and inspired. Really, wonderful presentation. Thanks!

Only for the plebs, the rich and powerfull will be underground or off planet.
Smart man! Since you said that it seem like it since we're leading toward that direction with this crazy pandemic shit
Hopefully soon. Our society is pretty fucked.
The only thing I can think about is all the bugs hiding in those leafs
I was going to try to make that... thanks for putting that in my head.
light a very smoky fire inside your hut, it will get most of the insects away but it might light your whole shelter on fire
Nice and warm though. LOL
Amaliewk Kjønniksen At least you'll have some little friends!
Amaliewk Kjønniksen ikr
100x better than the majority of survival shows on television. Not to mention your video editing skills are on point.
5 STAR RATING THIS GUY DESERVES MORE LIKES.
Just wanted to say - a really absorbing and potentially highly useful video. It's not very often that one sees a video that's so entertaining whilst factual, void of dramatics and potentially life-saving. Nice one!
The only guy I've seen actually catch fish with improvised hook and line.
when he said "or maybe trap some animals to eat" and then it cut to the baby beaver I got so scared lmao
This man did everything barefoot. Respect
Survival are 10% skills, 5% creativity and 85% knowledge.
I never knew vines were a good source of water. that's interesting.
Not all vines, grape vines
Grape vine water is new to me, too. Just be careful to tell the difference between wild grape, poison ivy, and Virginia creeper. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Poison_Ivy_and_Grape_Vines.JPG

your video is simple and well explained. Had to subscribe.
This was super relaxing to watch
If i'm ever stuck in the wild, i have saved this video so that i can pull up you-tube on my iPad and get these steps.
Tonio Yendis you wont have internet in the middle of the forest.. no signal no internet.
Crisp - i guess you've never heard of sarcastic-humor?

😂
You could just download the video to local storage...
wow this dude really knows what he’s doing 👏👏👏respect
I really want to drink that water !
me tooo
me too 😁 I bet that wild grape vine water has less germs than city water even after fancy filtering....

***** I am pretty sure that water from a health tree is not gonna harm you.

I know, you get a lot of videos like that from youtubers not just fire starter kits but other nonsense garbage.

I literally want to get out and try to survive for one week out in the wilderness now, but Im sure ill fail from the first day. 😂👏🏻
Me too! XD

I'm sure you will survive if you take me with you..... :)

This video is so awesome! It reminded me how much I love nature, and now I desperately want to take a trip to the Appalachians!
Not only am I lucky enough to live in the Colorado Rockies i'm replying from Pike National Forest. I highly advocate getting out as soon and often as you can! I LOVE it out here!
you gotta be careful in the appalachian. they have alot of people up there doing stuff if you know what i mean,,,,that could not end good
I'm just watching this because I plan on running away and I want to survive.
And ...how was it?
Berien Nangin I think he's dead by now
what happened
Yeah he's definitely dead.
Sailing Star rip
The tripod leave hut is iconic, its warm, comfy, easy, and hidden. I love it
Excellent! It brought memories of Borneo where I was trained by the Iban in 1969. So important is angle of bow when fire lighting as it it so DOES break! Nice survival video.
Watching this during pandemic. The first step is to find a wilderness where they haven't already paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Hearing you get excited is the best part of the video.
this guy can fish with teeth..I can barely fish with professional equipment...much respect for you sir.
Teerasak Mairoddee yeah
Great video if I'm ever trapped in the wilderness I will use these tricks
Blown away by that fire lighting-And all done without any showing off

one of the best ACTUAL BOW METHOD of actually starting a fire. Well done! i appreciate the reality. not the bull that we mostly get presented. I advise all interested to watch this reality method!
Awesome video. Can't wait next time wife kicks me out of the house again Definitely doing this in the yard.
fishing is always a testament for patience
Wow, you put all the pro fisherman to shame...
Wow he started the fire so fast
well done. no grandstanding or nonsense, just good info. and you're actually doing it.

for me its all started from the "300 days solo survival in the island video" and the entire recomended video turn out to be a surviving video lmao
Shinigami Shin same lol
👍☺️
Bruh same🤣
Man this helps my wanderlust 😊
Best real life survival video I have ever seen. What a wealth of knowledge.
Lmfao I just imagined seeing Michael Scott off in the distance talking to his own camera
Skrew quarantine. Im finna live in the wild
You ARE certainly on my list of Good People to have in my camp. Post Zombie/ Coronavirus apocalypse!
If we don't have any tools can u show us how to make stone tools
Kaz sweet you watch him to
This isn't minecraft
jaskaran multani but he can still make stone tools
This is not minecraft
+jaskaran multani right 😂 but im sure there is a possibility
You in the comments make sure to have a good day and make sure to be nice to anyone else in the comments

I am sharing this with my hubby!!

If society ever collapses, this guy will be the last man standing! Very impressive.
a complement to Tom very fun to watch please do make more.
Hopefully will be out by Spring, thanks.
Also the book my side of the mountain inspired me to do it
Love that story. I turned my son onto it. We home schooled in the woods and he spent most days hiking, hunting, and building shelters.
Grayson is the reason why I’m watching this rn
Wow, cheers for bringing all the cameras and batteries it must've took to go out and show us all this stuff!

Just think if, the world went back to living off the land without internet and a grocery store.....ppl would have to learn quick to survive or adapt to change
If civilization collapsed, more than 95% of everyone alive would not be alive by the end of the first six months, most would die within the first couple of weeks.
@@jamesrogers47 if they couldn't find pure water they would be dead in 3 days.
that's why i love to study this kind of stuff, it's super empowering knowing you could just walk into the woods one day and live out there
I'd be a cannibal
Well since there are no more sports to watch, groceries are becoming scarce, and our economy is shit, I guess this will be my new weekend hobby.
lol
yep time to start my tree cafe
Fresh fire cooked bass seasoned with edible wild plants sounds like a nice mediaeval dinner to try.
I used to use the fishes intestines for more fishing bait
hii Gray i bet you're not gonna read this cuz you're too focused on the video but anyway just wanted to say thank u for the addiction of watching survival videos you got me
Its usually a sign of a master that he does not add drama or talk up the difficulty of what he is doing. He just gives you the information. Next spring I am going to try that bark cordage for a dow drill. I am going to have to find what I have locally that does the same job -Wych Elm or Lime maybe? Whatever bark it is, I know it will not be as easy as he made it look. Good tip on tilting the bow to save the cordage, I never realised that. Thanks.
He makes it look so easy!
Thank you for doing a video in a humid forest climate.
