  • I'm learning all sorts of skills so I can become an expert survivalist. Through this series, I will subject myself to increasingly challenging camping trips in order to gain experience regarding survival and self-sufficiency. My hope is that you are inspired to prioritize your health through connection with nature and physical activity, and acquire awesome ancestral survival skills along with me.

Loved the section on the clay firing the look of excitement and satisfaction on your face when it worked was classic. Look forward to other clay products another string to your rapidly growing bow.

    I watched the entire vid bro, I enjoy most of what you do.. you seem to be extremely curious about so many things and determined to figure them out.. I love your filming and editing skills, they're awesome!
    You mentioned teaching people your age and homework.. how old are you? I assumed you were like 21 or 22

    Congratulations on your first ceramic! Now you can create the last of the 5 C's, the canteen, using only what nature gives you. 👏
    But no thumbs up this time, because of the animal cruelty. Ants are an important part of nature, if you don't want them in your camp, just spread coffee powder.

      coffee powder, huh? I had no idea that worked. Thanks for the tip!

    Your, "no bullshit," style has me watching EVERY video you make.
    Feel sad for the people who want their lawn to be immaculate. They're probably living in hell and it's the only thing in their life they can control.
    What part of the country do you live in? That looks very OH, PA, NY -ish.
    The Romans used to use fired clay balls as sling ammo. They were deadly.
    If you want clay you should look up some videos on making clay. It's not terribly hard to get something passable. Personally, our yard is completely clay. We could build a house of clay bricks.

      I'm glad. Turns out the lawn guy is a golfer lol; I guess that explains it.. Yeah I'm on the East Coast. I'm jealous of your clay yard 😂 Some day I'll purify some. Sounds like it's worth the effort.

      @@forestdriftwood if you were a gardener like I am you would definitely not be jealous of my clay yard... LOL I tried to get my kids to try to make some real clay out of our dirt. That didn't go well.
      Tomorrow I'm taking my kids out to make firedrills and try it out. I think I'll try a rock for the top, though. Got plenty of those in my yard, too.
      Golfers... Ugh.

    I love your vids but you never seem to reply to anyones comments.. do you read them? I think more people would watch if you connect with them...

      I mostly reply to comments which open conversation, and questions. I find it kind of becomes redundant to thank each person that gives praise, for example, (as that's the nature of most of my comments) because there is rarely any meaningful way to expand on it.
