      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

    • @mrsmith9079
      @mrsmith9079 8 років тому

      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.

    • @wildsurvivalskills
      @wildsurvivalskills  8 років тому

      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/

      @DeadeyeLefty 8 років тому +6

      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.

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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.
