    As someone who has done his share of winter camping in New England. This was an excellent video. However, I would add the importance of insulating your sleeping area with leaves, pine boughs, etc. Just sleeping on wool blankets will not protect you from the cold, frozen ground.

  • @sarahnicole3206

    I really enjoy these videos! Growing up my parents would send me on ascent programs for several months at a time. We learned how to survive only with what the wilderness gave us and a few other little things like a knife a canteen etc. I even learned how to make a bowl and spoon using the knot on a tree and a thick branch. How to start a bow drill fire, use a flint, and make char cloth. I learned how to build smaller shelters but it’s been a long time and although I remember everything I learned over 15 years of doing that stuff I’m always wanting to learn more and be prepared for any situation. You put out a lot of valuable information, tips, tricks etc. Thanks again!

It does wonders just to see simplicity at its best..it may save your life one day or make it the best day ever; its on us all how we have a great day. Peace :)

      Yup for the rocks, And that delimits your fire from your floor, so you can make a bedding of spruce bows to create that airspace between your butt and the cold ground without burning the place down! If rocks aren't available dig a shallow fire-pit using your axe.(its a tewel not a jewel! ) and build up the sides...!:)
      You might want to watch this very instructive documentary from the National Film Board of Canada ( NFB) follow the link below of A Cree Native not surviving but flourishing with nothing but an axe in the boreal forest

      @GameChanger597 5 років тому +3

      Is it true you have to season your wood for at least six months before burning? The twigs that were being shaved looked like they were pulled fresh off the tree. How can they burn and catch fire if they are not fully dried out? Or is it not true that they have to dry out first?

    They also built bridges with saplings or young trees.
    He built us three kids an igloo using a box to form the bricks of snow.
    He sprayed it down with water to form an ice covering.
    It was very warm inside with just a candle lantern.

    This is good for an emergency shelter, but I wouldn't recommend you camp like this on the regular. Sleeping next to a wood fire like that will turn your lungs black. I understand that most of the smoke escapes through the top, but there's still a decent amount of it inside the shelter. I'd suggest you keep the fire outside the shelter and use it to heat large rocks, then bring those hot rocks inside the shelter. Other than that, I have no problems with your video or the content. Both are nicely done.
