I used to volunteer for boat search & rescue when I was in my early teens trying to find lost duck hunters and even dragged for drowning victims I knew. I`ve been rained on in my teens while primitive winter camping during sudden cold fronts and barely made it out. Hypothermia can take away your conscious senses and awareness. I was doing the "Survivorman" stuff before age 12 and it`s sad to see what has happened to young people today.
They say most people die from exposure before anything else but as I have said many times already that having even a small kit with some kind of nourishment and water can make a big difference and you surviving or not
Piss poor planning equals a bad case of dead. Something to sleep under. Something to sleep on. Something to sleep in. Dress according to the conditions. And carry something to make a hot drink or three.
when you get rain, guys, your debris gets wet and not only is it worthless for insulation, it gets REALLY heavy and can easily collapse on you. carry a few lbs of XL size reflective bivy, net hammock, bugnet 'suits" and camo nets (both from Amazon) If you dont need to hide or be protected from bugs, you can use this netting as insulation/longjohns, under your cammies. It takes a LOT less dry debris to pack between those bugnet suits and under the wraps of the camo nets, and keep you warm inside of the bivy and its plastic "envelope' than it does to make a "shelter". Heat up some rocks or water, maybe with a discrete Dakota fire pit, and put them inside of the "envelope" under the hammock. Pull the hammock and a ridgeline thru the bivy. Pull another ridgeline between the bivy and the "envelope". That layer of "trapped air' between the bivy and the envelope is what insulates you from the cold, rain and wind.
Ive done debris huts in the snow. Still froze my ass off. Fire with a good emergency blanket as back drop works really well. Save the energy and gather fire wood instead. But if you have no way to make fire. Then make the shelter.
That would suck. Maybe keep a mosquito net in each vehicle. I don't have an abnormal amount of mosquitoes where I live an travel. Sorry I'm not much help.
You can carry mosquito netting that goes over a hat and secures around your neck. If you are inclined and you have a fire, burn some green wood or green brush the smoke irritates their senses. Depending on the type of clothes you wear you may want to take a couple cans of bug repellent and pretty much soak your clothes in it, I mean it may not smell pretty but if you spray down your entire body from head to toe in the repellent you're good over 24 hours. If you're going to be in an area where you know it's a mosquito infested wear a long sleeve and long pants, parts of your body that are exposed use peppermint oil, and dab someone on your wrists the back of your neck and behind your ears, peppermint oil is a natural repellent for mosquitoes. If you ever caught out in the wilderness use mud and cover every inch of exposed skin it will act as a natural barrier against the mosquitoes. Another thing avoid setting up camp near stagnant water or water that's running very slow, or next to a lake/pond, as those are some of the favorite places for mosquitoes to lay their eggs and frequently. If you decide to set up a shelter use interwoven branches for the mosquitoes to have less access to you, if you seal up your shelters best you can there was less chance for them to get you.
I get that in this presentation we are to focus on the fact that exposure to the elements is problematic. That said, I can't get over the fact that fire is removed from the scenario but the lost victim being portrayed has a saw. Personally, I would like to have both and do on occasion. But, I always have a method to make fire. If I have any pack as portrayed here, I have 2 Bic lighters and a total 3 completely different methods to make fire. Nice shelter, though. Nice that you had a stove.
ua-cam.com/video/ajeRxcJCGG8/v-deo.html shots fired! This is why you pack a minimum kit if you're exploring or day hiking. Poncho, usgi casualty blanket, some stakes, cordage, water and some grub, along with a compass.
With respect...your debris hut is very poor. This is not proper constuction. It may or may not shed rain but definitely won't keep you warm. First, it's hard to tell by the camera but easily 2 to 4 times too big. This is the most common mistake. To keep warm, the interior should be so packed that it takes a substantial amount of work to even burrow inside. Exterior should be 1 foot minimum just to shed rain. Probably twice that in 20 degree weather. Doorway should be small. Yours looks huge. Having some type of debris door to pull inside makes a huge difference. You can stay warm and dry in these even in sub freezing temps, but it takes a lot of work and time...many hours. Yes, I've made and slept in them. Tom Brown's old survival book is a great resource for building these. Great info otherwise. Thank you 🙏

I never understand the "no fire" part of these challenges. If you can make a fire with no tools, you're in way better shape in these situations. Of course, I guess showing how you made a fire in the woods from scratch would probably make the video twice as long and it's really not a day 1 priority.

Good to hear about your volunteer work - thanks for sharing & serving!
Thank You for sharing your knowledge with us. And Thank You for taking that risk to show us, that it's possible to survive with very minimal gear.

Make your own video, my dude.
Sealing the entrance will make a significant difference.
You’re absolutely right and I can testify to that fact 👊🏻

Enjoy the video very much thank you. I would have put a door up just a couple branches what a good video
Great vid Brother.....thanks!!
Need vid on surviving in mosquito infested area

The shelter was nothing new. But, the navigation/location tactic was worth the whole video.

Very good and informative!! Thank you!
See you tomorrow
What s name of the chest bag?

No fires were allowed for this location at the time filmed.
Thank you for clarifying for me.

And a lighter, right?

Great informative video SD.
Who was the young lad in the video?
Didn't recognise him without the facial hair 😉👍🏼

Fires weren’t allowed this day.
👍🏼👍🏼
So why no fire? You had a way to make one. I just feel if you can heat water you have a great chance to make fire. Otherwise great scenario video.
Wait you said no fire. How'd you make coffee?
Did you see it?
