Very enjoyable and informative video. No BS. The realities of spending a lean night in the bush explained nicely. Great tip on raising one’s body off the ground when sleeping rough. God Bless
I'm an American bloke and I just came across this channel not too long ago after coming across a program called Kings of the Wild and of course I saw you on Dual Survival. I'm so glad I came across this channel you guys are so entertaining to watch and more importantly to learn from you guys know your s*** and you don't have no frills about it. You want to go hunting you go hunting and you don't sugarcoat it and do all the things that us Americans fell into the bad habit of doing. Keep it up mate I know this is a three-year-old video but I've seen more recent videos and your continent is always good
sweet vid josh loved ever min off it that deer was so cool good call not taking the shot ,mat and i are going out bush for a night in the catlins coastal rainforest park with only the gear we are wearing for our next vid will try and pic a good night as the bush is wet as hell at the mo lol churr stu
Some top dogs you got there... , I don't think there would be many men that could keep the house work up to scratch while the wife's a way ! Also that comment about happy wife happy life but first you need a wife cracked me up ,gold!
Got to admit your a family man, but your wife is the caretaker of all you guys in the house. Like your videos.I will be joining your patreon today.thanks for showing me all the great adventures and hunting in NEW ZEALAND, didn’t realize y’all had it that good over there.we got a lot of hunting over here in TEXAS but not them beautiful mountains and rivers.takecare god bless.
Much love from the States. Really pisses me off that your run on Dual Survival was so short. I really think they missed a goldmine with you Josh your extremely knowledgeable n hilarious on top of it
Excellent. I think you need a lot more debris in a debri shelter, both inside and on the outside, I believe you need to stuff it until there is no more room, then you squeeze in, as for the outside it should be piled up high, that will keep the heat in and the rain out.
yep, the more the merrier, hard to do with limited time, depends on the temp and precip levels expected and also materials used. Under insulation is more important if its cold, pile it on top if its wet and warm, a shitload easier to make one of these in a northern hemisphere location than it is in NZ thats for sure. I personally would use a bloody tarp and sleeping bag and mat over a survival shelter any day of the week
Josh mate you have a damn good life, love the channel, as a 20yo englishman I wish i could have access to the terrain you have on your doorstep, south east england doesn't cut the mustard for me haha, good hunting bro
I watch your Channel to see wild New Zealand and you enjoying it w family and friends. So, though your hunting is good, this more peaceful one is a nice change, too. I follow some good bush crafters in the US/Canada. It is a good way to virtually get away from it all. Good Job!
Man i loved that video James your awesome I really want to come on one of your missions some time this summer!!! thanks mate and keep up the great work!!
Awesome vid, could you try hunt with a small kids rifle that you can purchase from hunting and fishing they come in little kid colours i think it would be a good challenge
great vid josh, greeting from Scotland mate, you could drag that rock after you finished with it into your sleeping area and either warm your head or your feet, I would rap the thing in a towel or something first like. keep up the good work mate, ATB, MARTIN
HAHAA ur a crack up man that was hard case,tomato sauce anything its allgood,that deer didnt bloody hang round either i was thinking, right is gonna hear you stand up on the spot for a few seconds then bolt but it just ran real quick
Cool video Josh I'm martin from hokitika nz and I would love to meet you i have been to one of jacks birthdays but I didn't no you where a youtuber then bye
was up hunting thar got one but got bluffed in the dark on the way down was just below the bush line was late april so it was below 0 was no ferns around so slept on top of the skin and used one of those silver survival blankets it was only big enough to cover my top half when i woke in the morning top half was wet and could but my legs where dry and cold have used these blankets twice and both times the condensation gets everything wet don't think i will use them again unless it's raining or is a cold wind
I know a heap of different fires mate, thats one of them. Its coming. cant show them all in one vid, not many logs in this location either. they all rotten, cheers
If you don't mind breaking a few laws that nobody cares about, you can pretty easily do this. And bedding is a non issue because we rarely have weather cold enough to worry about getting that cold, unless you're way down south
Seen you bugers at haast last weekend m8 we got fuck all bait but blody great spot hot barrels josh keep up the good work regards the team down south 👍👍
Pffff josh camp chair: use your swannie . Stick trough your arms and the tails bind them together. Enjoy the vid . Go bank home and do your choirs. Lol
Pull the pin - wrong idiom, refers to using a hand -grenade, the opposite of what you want to achieve. "Pull the plug" om something you want to abandon.
then thats fine ,just saying what i have observed and glad u do let the dogs in2 your u r new 2 me so i,ll watch a few and c how it pans out u take care now / sorry should mention i only normaly watch bushcraft in winter u now snow and the weather glad u also let the deer get away dont like 2c the killings not 4 me but u go ahead u have 2 eat anyway nice 4 u 2 get back 2 me wasant expected as no1 normaly does so thanx 4 that again take care
no worries mate, check out Kings Of The Wild on Discovery channel, a 6 part series I did with an english chef, also did a few episodes on Dual Survival also on Discovery channel. Most of my vids are hunting and fishing videos so will be interesting to see what you reckon. Cheers, Josh James
Great video although I had sound drop off a lot every time you're talking and turn away from the camera. Granted that may be my sound system but thought I might point it out anyhow. Not a large point I guess as I haven't seen anyone else mention it. Why is it that almost every survival channel uses plucky guitar music at the beginning and as background music. That and harmonicas. Hehe which started at the 9 minute mark. It'd be nice to watch someone who didn't do the exact same thing as everyone else. But not a kill point, just annoying. I'll be tuning in though, nice to see a kiwi doing survival skills instead of the unending line of americans all the time.
Glad to see you doing survival again for yt. Always thought if Dual survival ever put you and Matt Graham together it would've been the best of it. You're a hoot ( funny) and he is so mellow you two would be great. Saw you on the cooking show on Discovery, dont remember the name of ?. Is it true you had to be told to slow down hunting because you were getting more game than they thought you could? Been a fan of yours a long time, best wishes to you and the family from Texas.
Awesome to see someone doing survival videos in NZ. The kiwi bush is no picnic if you don't know what your doing!!
Cold as a bitch!
Josh,we say heyhoo from Mauritius! You are the complete Swagman bushman.We follow your examples.
cheers mate
I started hunting because of you . “Get out and Live” 🤙🏽👌🏽
cheer
I so jealous
Awesome thank you Josh!!

Good luck doing this in Australia
Why is that?
could certainly be done in australia, not necessarily legaly but could be done and quite easily
done it heaps in Australia, just got to watch out for the occasional bitey thing...
If you don't mind breaking a few laws that nobody cares about, you can pretty easily do this. And bedding is a non issue because we rarely have weather cold enough to worry about getting that cold, unless you're way down south

Make sure you keep the safety on that bow. There are real Hunters out here in these Woods
Look Man. All you need is a box of beer. Then you can sleep anywhere in the cold and your aim will improve considerably.
maybe a good idea to take a bottle of rum as well, just to be sure
