- The distinction between bushcraft and wilderness survival is very important. I did this trip with my basic wilderness survival equipment. This is wilderness survival equipment that I take on purpose out to the bush. I follow the very simple rule of "Never Plan to Improvise" when it comes to wilderness survival. Bushcraft skills and primitive techniques have their place and I spend a great deal of time perfecting them. However, when faced with a life threatening wilderness emergency they are all essentially improvisations and are highly dependent upon prevailing conditions, growing seasons, and your having the physical wherewith all to perform them I go into the bush to practice bushcraft and primitive skills but I do so with my minimum wilderness survival kit.

Excellent little series. "The more you know, the more you know to carry a bic". Great line!
"The more you know, the more you know to back a bic.".
Well said! I always find the lack of tough guy, tacticool ego in your videos refreshing.
Excellent tip on the difference between modern survival and primitive skills Mac! Great video bro!
Great discussion! Great points... especially about not depending on primitive skills in a survival situation. Thumbs up to you on this video!
Years ago my brother gave me a Tramontina bowie knife set that comes in a piggy back sheath with a fixed bladed full tang knife with a 5" blade as well as the 9" full tanged bowie. The bowie is high carbon and the 5" blade is stainless. Tramontina is high quality cutlery and I see why you like it.
Amazing video series. Very insightful. Your closing comments should be taken on board by anyone going into the wild.
Great lecture at the end distinguishing between primitive and modern survival yes you can most likely survive either way but your chances are increased when you take the time to prepare and have some of the modern elements available to assist you 5/5
Thanks for providing an intellegent view on the subject!! I completely agree that it is good to have at least a working knowledge of primitive skills as back-up but having modern means (and experience to use correctly) is the most logical approach. The most crucial survival moments are just that; moments. If you have to take the time/energy to make everything you need to survive that lessens your chances of survivng the situation.
Nice selection of knives. I like the Portuguese subtitles. It fascinates me how similar it is to Spanish, but still so different.
@luvu2luvme I hope nobody takes me the wrong way. I'm not anti-bushcraft or primitive skills. I just see wilderness survival as "that which gets me out of the bush" and bushcraft as "that which allows me to stay".
Dave I have regarded your teachings well before the show Alone you where in bushcraft USA and utbing video's and I will continue to listen to your teaching and gear choices because you are very knowledgeable and you have tried these things out yourself and they make sense lol. Hope you and the family are doing well.
I hear you brother. My motto is... "I'm a survivalist. NOT a caveman." Great video pal. I caught it even before the display picture posted. I just did a video myself on the differences between survival knives and bushcraft knives too. Thanks for the supper videos. Thumbs up pal. ~Wolf
Great content as ever..and clear distinction between primitive skills/modern gear..but also totally agree with throwing a Mora in !!
Fantastic! Very well thought out.
@Texasoutback The bivy bags I use are very simple. They are like a large sleeping bag cover with a screened in hood on the end. I got them from the Sportsmans Guide. Gortex or similar material is very important because they can develop condensation otherwise.
great vid as always ... I agree modern skills/equipment save your life, primitive skills are nice to have but are more of a hobby
Mac, that talk you have at the end of this video is one of the best Ive seen so far on how to enter the bush and the right mind set to do so, understanding yourself and your gear and most impotantly, understanding the area where you are. You can actually make a very good survival folder for people to carry on them using just parts of your talk here bro! Excellent!
Great advice. And the end was bringing us back to Earth. Hope your life takes a big turn for the better this year.
apresentou muito bem o assunto, muito bom vc ter colocado a legenda.
"Know what your capable of, and plan for what your not"
@uppaia I spend 80% of my time here in Brazil and 20% back in the us so I wind up with gear from both places. Machetes here, Mora's there, its a mix.
Great video as usual. Thank you!!
@mistwalker13 The last time I NEEDED a fire to save my life I was quickly becoming hypo-thermic. I was back in the US for a short trip during winter and found it impossible not not sweat. My Gortex jacket froze from the inside. It was about 18 degrees F, windy, and pitch dark. Not the time to make a bowdrill. I used my emergency Trioxene bar and a Bic and in an hour I was back to enjoying my time in the bush on a rare trip with my brother.
@nightstalkersasslt I have never found Zebu pocketknives for sale outside of Brazil. They are a traditional Brazilian style called a "Pica Fumo" or tobacco chopper. I collect them.
great vids hope to see some new ones
I've come back and watched this video many times over the years now. Rarely have I seen a video that so well defines the differences between "primitive skills," minimal gear, and practicality. And to think you did this while hanging out in the woods. Personally I'm also surprised that this video doesn't have more views.
Glad I stopped by again as I see you wrote a few books. Very nice! I'm looking forward to starting the first one tonight.
saradreaming Sara, That was on a 3 day solo trip in Central Brazil. I hope you enjoy my story. This is the first time anyone on YT has mentioned it.
Muito bom o vídeo Mac.
Thanks for bringing some intellegence to this subject! I, also, believe that it is important to have some working experience with the primitive skills but modern means (and the knowledge + experience to use, as well) are extremely important. Many times, survival isa matter of what happens in a moment and often you have very little more time than that to respond adequately.
Primitive skills, to me, is the back-up (and hobby), not the primary plan.
good video
@Texasoutback The ones I have were sold under their Guide Gear label.
That is a good idea!
@MrEasyRollins Easy, this is number six (of nine) in a series of videos filmed over the course of three days. The other videos show lots of the surrounding area.
@Colhane I looked on Sportsmans guide. It looks like the Gortex ones are 80 + bucks on there are 2 from belgium for 20.
@myactionhobbies I didn't carry my neck knife kit on this trip, sorry.
@tomfaranda I think it is highly profitable to be able to do a "Knife Only" trip and get your skills to this level in a controlled situation. It bothers me that there seems to be an attitude that this is the way you should intentionally go to the bush. Sometimes I think people need to suffer a dose of reality. The bush will make you humble if you force the issue.
@Colhane my old mans got that flashlight it works really well
excellent video !
re: knowledge vs modern gear....i think about it this way...even the greatest practitioners of bushcraft (ie: native tribesman) use a machete, water vessel for cooking and boiling etc...They see the value those items hold. But like you said...im sure in an emergency , if they didnt have those items... they could revert back to their bushcraft solutions to the problem.
in other words....surviving.
great videos as always.
i used que tip heads in petroleum jelly in a pill fob which is water tight has a o-ring.
@Colhane Absolutely
Não falo e não entendo o que você está falando eu fico prestando atenção assim mesmo eu gosto mesmo assim do seu canal gosto quando vc apresenta sua faca pequena para fazer pequeno serviço .
Gostaria de poder ter uma mas para mim não dá minha aposentadoria e pouco .
Fique com Deus.
Deus te abençoe muito.
I have the same Tri Flex Mora, better than my tombrowntracker. Great VID.
@Cameron1942 We have boas, anacondas, and a host of poisonous snakes. Fortunately I rarely run into them.
Where did your famous neck knife kit go?!!! That was really great.
@bushcraftourway I have never seen these for sale outside of Brazil.
Love the videos. Thank you for sharing. Do you source your equipment in USA or Brazil? Thanks
Bingo!!!!!!
@medicjimr
Learning to improvise and planning to improvise are two different things.
@ivageivage Zebu, made in Brarretos Sao Paulo.
@bushcraftourway When I do a search on the net the ones I find all look like an insulated sleeping bag with a raised end. Where do I find the ones like i see here that are a simple bag.
time for a portable solar panel and guide 10 battery charger. cheap and it takes care of battery charging needs
I shot this video in 2008 and held onto it for a long time before posting it to my channel. Things have come a long way since then.
what exactly is a bivi bag
Are there any dangerous wild animals at the place where you camped? Are you allowed to own guns in Brazil?
what was the name of the brazilian knife? // oscar
