Been working on this one for months. Like or comment if you'd like to see us make another Fit For Survival episode! Have a great week everyone. STAY BUFF. -Hudson & Brandon
During all my years of training, i was thinking of this 'mantra' as a way of living life, namely, geting ready for the unexpected. As we all know now, ONLY the FIT survives. Great job, Buff Dudes.
I’ve been watching your content for years and I’m blown away by how the quality of your videos continues to improve. Very impressed by how far you’ve come dudes 🤙🏽 Would love to see more survival videos!
The shape you were getting into was probably a rectangle, most windows come in that shape, they also come in squares and circles and 98, Vista, 8,10 , 11
I work construction and couldn’t pull myself out a manhole a couple weeks ago. It’s time for me too. No ladder in this manhole and couldn’t pull myself out….had to wait for another crew to cross town to bring a ladder. Very embarrassing. I thought I was strong without ever having gone to a gym. Not strong enough.
I was born with a rare bone disease that has caused me to have 34 surgeries, including multiple joint replacements but your videos really help me get my exercises in at the gym, so just wanted to thank you guys, you're awesome!!!
@@cookingwithnectar5533 4 Joint replacements, 3 spinal fusions and many surgeries later, I haven't slowed down yet, thank you everyone for the support!!!
This is exactly why I started working out in the first place. The Bioneer has a video on a similar topic from a couple years back, and that’s what spurred me to start - and how I found this channel to help teach me what to do. Now you guys are posting this and reminding me to my core what the hell this was all for. Stay buff, stay on the path. 💪🏻
Hey if you like this video you should check out JaxBlade channel because he did a similar video like this called "THIS TRAINING ROUTINE CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!!" . Hope you like it.
The Bioneer is Brilliant.👍👍 One of the best on here and his content is so engaging and encouraging. He too goes beyond just lifting weights, and I recommend his "Functional Training and Beyond" book.👍👍
Agreed. It was really great, well written and directed. I love how this channel puts health and well being before aesthetics when it comes to fitness. This video goes to show it, demonstrating how important it is to have those skills in life treating situations. Buff Dudes, I'd love to see more of this series. Maybe you guys can talk about scenarios like having to carry someone (the many different ways you can do it and the exercises to do each), climbing a rope (up and down), balancing yourself in a tight spot and maybe defending yourself in a fight? I know this is not a fighting or a self defense channel, but maybe give your input about the subject, like for example balancing having some fighting lessons while doing exercises on your own. Also stay safe while doing these. And stay Buff 💪
I really like that this one is safe to show to kids. I work part time as a teacher at a sort of learning pod, and this fall I'll be teaching a survival course. Your mind and body are your two most important survival tools!
The most common survival situations and how to train for them: 1. Acute injury or disaster in an urban setting, usually at home or on the road. How to train for it: - balance and coordination exercises (to reduce risk of injury) - walking (flat ground and stairs) - crawling - hopping on one foot - carrying and/or dragging (to save someone else) - running - Krav Maga (to fight an armed assailant) - general strength training Notes: - carrying and/or dragging injured persons may result in worsening existing injuries, so only resort to it when necessary 2. Getting lost. How to train for it: - vocal chord exercises (to ask a stranger "Hey, where am I?") - orienteering - hiking - balance and coordination exercises (to reduce risk of injury) - rope descents (if you get lost in the wilderness, you are most likely carrying paracord, so this type of training is helpful) Notes: - climbing is extremely rarely useful, as it's risky and fatiguing; it's almost always worth walking around the long way instead - if you are planning to go out into the wild, let people know exactly when and where you'll go to, and tell them when to expect your return 3. Acute injury or disaster in the wilderness. How to train for it: - orienteering - hiking - climbing (or descending, to be more specific) - swimming (only truly worthwhile if you are actively out on the water) - carrying - dragging The most important survival skills have nothing to do with fitness, though! If you can already walk on your own two feet, you need to spend time learning basic first aid, reading maps, exercising common sense and caution, talking, finding water, making fire, creating shelters and avoiding as well as identifying risks.
A lot of people underestimate what just general strength training will do for you in terms of injury prevention. If you can deadlift 500lbs, do you really think you'll hurt your back bending over to pick up a kid? Always recommend getting your whole body strong, it'll help you in everything. And if you train with giant sets, you'll even get really good cardio, without having to do cardio. Although I still recommend cardio
@@MAGAMAN You do have a point, but carrying a deadly weapon is, in most cases, illegal. Krav Maga, on the other hand, is not illegal, and it specifically teaches you to disarm threats. In any case, you could still end up being convicted for manslaughter. And yes, I have had to do first aid in real life on several occasions. I've administered first aid to tens of people suffering from common medical problems such as heat strokes, cuts, bruises, sun burns and broken bones. I have also been given emergency first aid in at least two cases of vehicular collision (car & bike), and for that I am very thankful. About 11 years ago my grandfather also passed away in my presence, and I did my best to give him first aid, but unfortunately nothing could have been done at that point. Fitness definitely matters, but training specificity matters for survival as well. Survival is rarely about cardiovascular endurance. You could throw the most fit guy on this planet into a deserted island, and if he has no idea how to find water, he could be gone in a week -- or less, if he eats random poisonous plants in desperation. His ability to do a hundred pushups in a row becomes an unnecessary skill. While you may not have experienced an emergency situation yet, you will likely experience one later in your life. Learning basic first aid skills, like what to do (or not to do) when someone has fallen horribly, eaten something toxic or having a seizure etc. will prepare you to help AND survive in these situations. Simply reading a first aid book or taking a 2-6 hour CPR course will arm you for a long time.
I'm following faithfully your work the last 8 years, never missing a video of yours. I must say that the quality of the footage and the montage / post edit skills skyrocketed last year or two. Your work is making this planet a better place, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Stay BUFF!
Dear Buff Dudes, not only are you the only people to show true natural builds these days while being positive and not mocking others, but you are the only people I've found give true advice for working out that actually worked and you didn't even sell it, thanks to all of you I actually got close to the size I wanted, sadly I got struck by a truck and after my time in the hospital and physical therapy I lost almost all my gains, with that I lost interest in working out and my willingness to even work, but after going back to see your channel and watching your videos I'm back to being my motivated cheerful self and have gotten back up to 190 of my 215lb old self, after having been knocked down to 155 at 6'2, it isn't all muscle, but it feels good to want to move again, Thanks Buff Dudes!
This was perfect time me! I’m currently working on the Airforce Fitness test. I have the push ups and sit-ups down! I just need to keep up with the running. Thanks for the advice!
Great jobs guys!! Loved this! This is why I am training to do pull ups. I hate them but it’s true. I would die in a scenario where I have to climb up and hold my own weight. Thanks for the idea to start with hanging holds. I’ve been progressing in my lat pull downs (supinated and pronated) but haven’t been doing very many holds. Working on getting strong enough to use the band again. I’ll get there. Love your content, thanks for the comedy and the knowledge you guys have! Hello from McMinnville Oregon too! Central Oregon is my favorite to visit.
Thank you Jennifer! And good luck on your pull-ups. Likewise, McMinnville is beautiful. Years ago when I worked construction I helped with the Evergreen Aviation Museum! (To be honest I mostly just walked around in awe of the all the aircraft.) -Hudson
Loved this episode so much. Life skills and how to prepare. Awesome concept and execution. Can't wait to see what's next. Kudos to you both. Photography was top shelf too.
I'm a runner who does different weight exercises, so I felt like I could defend myself enough through a lot of those scenarios... until I saw The Swim. Just last weekend, I went swimming with a girl I liked and basically embarrassed myself after requiring help to finish my way back to the shore of a lake. I'll take this advice and work my way to swimming better. Thanks! And stay BUFF!
Buff dudes are THE reason I have a successful fitness life nowadays. There’s so much bs out there in fitness. So many people are trying to scam you and the amount of opinions are staggering and overwhelming. Having to honest guys who give it to you straight is huge. Been at it for two years now and still going strong. YATS FFUB.
To think the channel that helped me make protein cookies 9 years ago has become this epic will always blow my mind, really helping me build myself back up after years of bad health and letting my body go to sh*t, THANK YOU. Stay buff everyone.
Thanks for the kind comment. Really happy to hear we were able to help as well. 💪😎 We've definitely tried to approach the channel as we do working out, with the goal of slowly getting better as time goes on! We can't wait to start on fit for survival episode 2. We'll begin shooting it in August. Thanks for sticking with us all this time! -Hudson
I've been a casual follower of you Guys for some time, using many of your tips for workouts. This new video for survival however, is on a new level. I have thought about just these issues myself, and its something I take into consideration in my workouts. The production shows how much work you put into it but I think you probably had fun acting all this stuff out. Good on you. Keep up the great work.
This video was magnificent, a joy to watch! You guys are the inspiration that got me into working out regularly with my wife, and I love content like this. I also really like that you guys do so much practical movement exercise, which a lot of bodybuilding focused channels seem to neglect.
Love it. Im new to the fitness. Ive lost 76 lbs and i need to build muscle now. But i wanted my training to be something i can use to get me out of problem situation. I want to do more compounded movements. So my muscles will not get in the way. Thanks very much.
Holy cow!!! This is the greatest vid you guys have ever made. MORE PLEASE. I am using this to motivate my sons. My boys call you guys Chads and your dad is the man. A scenario of getting out of an emergency (earthquake, tornado, etc) from a college or school to get home would be cool.
Really happy to hear you and your sons enjoyed it, John! We are writing episodes 2 and 3 now! We'll do our best to have them out by the end of the summer. Tell your boys hi! -Hudson
Hey buff dudes thank you so much for doing this video. The way this world is headed this video 100% right for this world. Thank you we will share this with all of our family. God bless you and your family. I did two tours in Iraq and I’m getting my family ready. Thank you so much. Yes keep doing all those ideas. You guys are on the right track.
I've been subscribed to you guys for years now and for my money you continue to be by far the best and most bullshit cutting fitness channel I've seen. So awesome that you're still producing such quality content.
I'm NOT a buff dude... I practice MMA, Animal Flow, and weapons skills... but I love your content so much, I imagine having a guy like you on my superhero team. However, your justification of all these exercises has actually made me think seriously about getting in some proper S&C days. These are important skills for any human to have, regardless of their size! Thanks for a great video.
I love the care, quality, & fun in your videos! Plus it's great to see the emphasis on practical exercises with real-world applications. As I've been getting older, I'm a lot more interested in workouts that focus on mobility and practical strength, as opposed to just getting as large as possible.
Do a power outage one . Cutting wood , carrying water ,hunting and cooking. I lost power for 9 days with a large family and it took so much endurance to keep going all day . Absolutely loved this video guys can’t wait for the next one
Loved every second of it. It definitely got me amped to work out again, so I'mma go do that. The whole thing was great, keep up the amazing work dudes. o7
You have out done yourselves again, amazing video and I really enjoyed watching stuff like this. My favourite mix of nature, survival and buffness. Keep up things like this.
This is a really great concept for a series. I'll definitly be adding box jumps to my home gym. Going for a swim is harder to arrange, but worth trying.
This was such a cool video! I love functional training and there are some cool things from this video that I will definitely try to incorporate into my workouts. Another type of functional training that I like to do for both push and pull movements is trying to move an object you physically can't move. You really put your whole body and all your strength into it and then when you come to an object that you should be able to move it feels a lot easier in comparison. Considering you referred to this video as "our first episode of Fit for Survival" I figure you may be making more and I thought this could be something cool you could add to a future video. Thanks for the great content!
Loving these! Good job. My suggestion for How to survive would be office worker, yep. How to survive sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours only interrupted by endless meetings, a lunch break that is too short and the mad dash to the exit to prevent getting stuck in traffic on the way home.
Hola gracias por el video y los felicito hermanos. este video tiene da respuesta varias de mis preguntas de entrenamiento para sobrevivir, pero podrían hacer una parte 2
This was great fellas, good, solid advice. I once got caught in a river with a high current, if it wasn't for grip strength, I would have died easily. Shit can happen anytime, so this has inspired me to train more frequently. Looking forward to the next one.
Yeess this an amazing video! Please more fit for survival. I’ve changed my training to how to survive an apocalypse instead of weight loss or muscle definition and it’s done wonders. Keep videos like this coming!
4:40 Vital situation. My relative, a military man of Ukraine, after a rocket attack on their base, found himself lying on a fragment of a reinforced concrete structure, some kind of beam. Сontused, with shrapnel in his body. He was crushed so much, that he could not breathe and was already saying goodbye to life. A truck was on fire next to him and had already begun to burn him. And he did not know where he found the strength (he did very little in the gym), but he managed to move the beam away from him, so that he could at least breathe, and then with the help of his comrades, he could free himself.
Love love love love this video. This was a motivation to start working out. Being able to climb a tree and have the strength if there was ever a zombie apocalypse.
This is the video is have been searching for a long time . This explains all scenario. Thank you so much for making such important video . Make more parts . ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You guys are an inspiration. Around the same age as you guys, been lifting since high school but gonna take it to the next level and push the workouts, diet and start having fun again with my workouts. God bless
I love this new serie, maybe a zombie apocalypse in a neighborhood or something similar. Or how to survive a house from burning, you can give tips on exercise on caring heavy things like people or something like that
This is, by far, the most awesome fitness video i have saw in a while. I just can't belive this wasn't made by a TV company or something like that. Hope you guys keep going with this.
You guys really go all in with your content. The storytelling and informative perspective mixed together is so easy to digest and understand. You're a great inspiration, and the way you do things, is no bulls@#t. I'm beginning a new lifestyle, after many years of not taking care of myself, and I would like to share before and after pictures with you guys in the near future. Keep up the good work(out)! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

@Buff Dudes Brandon & Hudson, can you substitute Bench press for push-ups, or include them?
I’ve been watching your content for years and I’m blown away by how the quality of your videos continues to improve. Very impressed by how far you’ve come dudes 🤙🏽 Would love to see more survival videos!
One time i locked myself out of my house and had to climb up and into a window... barely made it and that's when i started getting in shape
And that's a great reason. (And story!)
Stop The Cap 😩
The shape you were getting into was probably a rectangle, most windows come in that shape, they also come in squares and circles and 98, Vista, 8,10 , 11

Buddy of mine did the same. Got stuck in the window, balls squished and he screamed for a long time till help came.
22 years later and I still laugh

The most common survival situations and how to train for them:
1. Acute injury or disaster in an urban setting, usually at home or on the road.
How to train for it:
- balance and coordination exercises (to reduce risk of injury)
- walking (flat ground and stairs)
- crawling
- hopping on one foot
- carrying and/or dragging (to save someone else)
- running
- Krav Maga (to fight an armed assailant)
- general strength training
Notes:
- carrying and/or dragging injured persons may result in worsening existing injuries, so only resort to it when necessary
2. Getting lost.
How to train for it:
- vocal chord exercises (to ask a stranger "Hey, where am I?")
- orienteering
- hiking
- balance and coordination exercises (to reduce risk of injury)
- rope descents (if you get lost in the wilderness, you are most likely carrying paracord, so this type of training is helpful)
Notes:
- climbing is extremely rarely useful, as it's risky and fatiguing; it's almost always worth walking around the long way instead
- if you are planning to go out into the wild, let people know exactly when and where you'll go to, and tell them when to expect your return
3. Acute injury or disaster in the wilderness.
How to train for it:

"- Krav Maga (to fight an armed assailant)"
Best way to fight an armed assailant is to be armed yourself.

I love the care, quality, & fun in your videos! Plus it's great to see the emphasis on practical exercises with real-world applications. As I've been getting older, I'm a lot more interested in workouts that focus on mobility and practical strength, as opposed to just getting as large as possible.
awesome vid❤.I'm looking forward to the next.
very good video dudes, the production value is getting better and better ❤
Do a power outage one . Cutting wood , carrying water ,hunting and cooking. I lost power for 9 days with a large family and it took so much endurance to keep going all day . Absolutely loved this video guys can’t wait for the next one
It was amazing!
Please continue these 💪
Excellent examples on why we should train and how to train 👏 respect
So so so good. Not only the acting but the applicable exercises to your scenarios was just top tier. Great job 👏
Great video guys.
This is similar to the basic training we do for Obstacle Course Racing such as Spartan and Savage races.
"be strong to be useful" George Herbert. This is what the video is all about. Stay strong Buff Dudes! Have a good Independence Day weekend!
Loved every second of it. It definitely got me amped to work out again, so I'mma go do that. The whole thing was great, keep up the amazing work dudes. o7
Great advice, fiction, rythm, simply perfect vid ! :)
Nicely done! Real world fitness is often overlooked, I learned a lot of this in various USMC training/experience! VERY awesome production...
Thanks for the amazing video. I will now modify my gym workout thanks to this video. You guys inspire me!
this is exactly what people need to understand, training for surviving not for looking
Wow....this is excellent proyect guys!!!!
That video was freaking awesome! Wow! Great production value. The quality, info and fun is really getting better!
Thanks Don!
You have out done yourselves again, amazing video and I really enjoyed watching stuff like this. My favourite mix of nature, survival and buffness. Keep up things like this.
This was awesome! Definitely wanna see more
Yes that's what i am talking about a video about surviving.
This is a really great concept for a series. I'll definitly be adding box jumps to my home gym. Going for a swim is harder to arrange, but worth trying.
I bet you guys had fun shooting this. Great work!
This is content!
This was such a cool video! I love functional training and there are some cool things from this video that I will definitely try to incorporate into my workouts. Another type of functional training that I like to do for both push and pull movements is trying to move an object you physically can't move. You really put your whole body and all your strength into it and then when you come to an object that you should be able to move it feels a lot easier in comparison. Considering you referred to this video as "our first episode of Fit for Survival" I figure you may be making more and I thought this could be something cool you could add to a future video. Thanks for the great content!
Loving these! Good job. My suggestion for How to survive would be office worker, yep. How to survive sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours only interrupted by endless meetings, a lunch break that is too short and the mad dash to the exit to prevent getting stuck in traffic on the way home.
Love these dudes! You guys motivate me to break through the threshold and keep pushing forward. Thank you 🙏
That's awesome Vince, thanks for letting us know 💪
The quality of that content is getting better and better with each video. Very impressive
This just might be your greatest video dudes, loved the shots and locations, i hope we get to see the second episode any time soon!!!!!
Thank you Nicolás! Writing episode 2 now. Plan to shoot it early August!
Love this video! Amazing work my dudes!
Thank you!
This was awesome! Yes, do more of these please and Stay Buffed!
Hola gracias por el video y los felicito hermanos. este video tiene da respuesta varias de mis preguntas de entrenamiento para sobrevivir, pero podrían hacer una parte 2
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Looking forward to seeing more of this💪🏾
Finally a video about fitness and survival. Well done
"...and squat down below parallel."
Congrats, you've just caused Mark Rippetoe a heart attack.
Also happy birthday America! 🍾
Isn't he the same guy who gets grumpy when you don't put weight plates on the right way? 😜
Wow, it never occurred to me that fitness could do this much for me. Thank you 😊 guys!
This was great fellas, good, solid advice. I once got caught in a river with a high current, if it wasn't for grip strength, I would have died easily. Shit can happen anytime, so this has inspired me to train more frequently. Looking forward to the next one.
Love it!! The buff dudes back again with an awesome video! Love you guys and thank you for everything you do 🙏🏼
I love this video! More of this! Get's you really forward and aggressive.
Fine motivation.
Yeess this an amazing video! Please more fit for survival. I’ve changed my training to how to survive an apocalypse instead of weight loss or muscle definition and it’s done wonders. Keep videos like this coming!
4:40 Vital situation. My relative, a military man of Ukraine, after a rocket attack on their base, found himself lying on a fragment of a reinforced concrete structure, some kind of beam. Сontused, with shrapnel in his body. He was crushed so much, that he could not breathe and was already saying goodbye to life. A truck was on fire next to him and had already begun to burn him. And he did not know where he found the strength (he did very little in the gym), but he managed to move the beam away from him, so that he could at least breathe, and then with the help of his comrades, he could free himself.
Ooooooo Yeah, that's my train ride to work sorted for tomorow!
Love love love love this video. This was a motivation to start working out. Being able to climb a tree and have the strength if there was ever a zombie apocalypse.
Excellent stuff, chaps - and outstanding locations and production values.
This is the video is have been searching for a long time .
This explains all scenario.
Thank you so much for making such important video .
Make more parts .
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so happy that someone in fitness is covering these types of scenarios. Thank you so much for the effort you put into this. Great video👍
Amazing vid guys. I love the Cinematic style of your Channel. Really informative and straight to the point, but has a sense of fun too. Great balance.
You guys are an inspiration. Around the same age as you guys, been lifting since high school but gonna take it to the next level and push the workouts, diet and start having fun again with my workouts. God bless
One of my favourite videos on this channel so far.
I love this new serie, maybe a zombie apocalypse in a neighborhood or something similar. Or how to survive a house from burning, you can give tips on exercise on caring heavy things like people or something like that
This is, by far, the most awesome fitness video i have saw in a while. I just can't belive this wasn't made by a TV company or something like that. Hope you guys keep going with this.
Man you guys upped the production quality here. Amazing vid as always.
You guys really go all in with your content. The storytelling and informative perspective mixed together is so easy to digest and understand.
You're a great inspiration, and the way you do things, is no bulls@#t.
I'm beginning a new lifestyle, after many years of not taking care of myself, and I would like to share before and after pictures with you guys in the near future.
Keep up the good work(out)! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Great video to drive home the importance of the principle of specificity!
