Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- In This video, I will be spending a week in the Sonoran Desert with only a knife. I'll be showing the critical steps I take in order to survive. I make a shelter, create friction fire, find and purify water, trap animals, weave baskets, gather edible plants, shape and fire pottery and many other skills.

After a few decades of being obsessed with collecting survival and primitive skills techniques, I am putting out these videos to demonstrate the skills and excursions found at my school, Wild Survival (wildsurvivalskills.com). Videos are focused on primitive skills, rewilding, nature awareness, living off the land, off grid living, indigenous skills, shelter building, primitive fire, water purification, trapping, hunting, bow making, flint knapping, primitive pottery, basketry, edible and medicinal plant preparation and numerous indigenous skills. I began studying wilderness survival when I was 17 in order to have the ability to spend extensive periods of time in nature, seeking out empowerment and without the need for external sources. I began studying in 1993 under Tom Brown Jr eventually teaching for Tracker Inc. I sought-out every old Native American teacher I could and eventually traveled the world living in very remote indigenous villages in the Amazon, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Peru. My school teaches survival and primitive skills, nature awareness, how to live off the land, re-wilding, prepare for disasters. I strongly believe that experiencing survival living changes the way people approach their entire lives.
Lol this dude isn't teaching us how to SURVIVE in the desert he's teaching us how to LIVE in the desert.
IF U CAN LIVE IN IT,U'LL SURVIVE!!!
Oldies But Goodies lol
I want to live in the desert so...
even with ac, it sucks
he showed us how to be a baller in the desert. all thats missing is one hot cave bitch feeding him desert berrys
That was damn well done! I live in Tucson and spend a lot of time in the desert; you picked an excellent shelter-- I've been in small caves in this area that were used by generations of the locals way, way back as hunting shelters, and their fire-rings were still there. Congrats on finding as much food as you did; another very good source early in the year are yucca flowers if you can find them-- they're good raw as well as stewed or added to meat. Also, a *really* good canteen to use in a pinch is a Saguaro cactus "boot", the hollow that forms in the plant when a bird or rodent chews it out to build their home in. The plant grows a layer of scar-tissue around the hole that's like a thick lining of bark, mostly waterproof-- when a saguaro dies, you can usually find several boots among its skeleton. Some of them can get as much as several feet long.
YsabetJustYsabet ah Tucson, the stupidest city in America.
Do Saguaro cactus have oxalic acid in their live interior?
I just pre-ordered the Yucca Retro 11's. Can't wait for all my haters to BURN!
I grew up in the Sonora dessert in Casa Grande. I spent lots of time out in the boonies. I thought I knew a lot about getting by out there but you have now doubled my knowledge.
Thanks.
This is amazing. I was at this filming location the other week and was thinking how hard it would be to survive out here in such a harsh environment. But this guy makes it look easy. Btw this mountain range is prime habitat for mountain lions. He’s got some stones sleeping out there
Fantastic education on the clay pots!
I'm always wary when choosing to click on a randomly suggested UA-cam survival channel. I've seen plenty of poor videos with bad advice. I'm glad I watched this. Wonderfully shot, with sensible instructions. Shying away from things like weaving and pottery is folly, and making use of "primitive" techniques is often particularly wise.
I discovered this dude like 2 hrs ago and been Bing watching his videos. I already learned shit I didn't know.
Watching you has extended my survival time from 30 minutes to at least an hour
I am truly amazed. Wow, those sandals.
you should have at least 10x the subscribers. i always enjoy watching your videos and absorbing the great information provided.
Just rewatched because it is so good. Tom we need more videos 😁
Good technique and very old too. The pottery shards that were found and dated to ~18,000BCE in China show signs of having been made very much like this. Theirs was, by the internal patterns, formed over a reed or grass ball rather than a sand ball, and then held onto the ball with impressing. Theirs was probably fired on the grass.
The funny part is, if they were to date the pottery he just made, chances are good they would also say they are around 18,000 B.C. LOL!
Great video. I don't know a ton about survival but I watch a ton of survival videos. Your videos have the BEST tips for not only surviving, but thriving in the wild. Plus the production quality is high too. We all wish you would post more.
Wow...impressive. U are the real deal.
This is fantastic. Great lessons. Learned a lot. Good job Tom and thanks for sharing.
Haha this dude is the best. Absolutely one of the best survival videos I've seen.
That's some really good clay.
Gaming is my favorite thing to watch, but your still my Favorite youtuber, there is little to none people out there who make videos as amazing and interesting as you. Hope you know that and you definitely deserve more subs. Thank you
Tom,
These videos are awesome. As someone else said earlier, when the apocalypse comes I want to be on your team. You could teach us how to kill zombies with a fork. And, you got a good heart.
i dont care if you dont upload as much, as long as you make us this amazing content
Props on the sandals.
Your vids are AWESOME. Excellent tips, it's a pity you do it no more
Water bait; outstanding!
barefoot ....unbelievable....love the survival videos
this was awesome. nice job man
NEW VIDEO! Do more of these survival vids! Maybe an Australian forest? I would say jungle, but that's a little dangerous.
Ill be out in the Northern Territory this July.
Tom Mcelroy-Wild Survival Nice! Great to here you're making more, I love your videos, and thanks for the reply!
What about making a rigging / frame for your basket, like a backpack. :) Very cool good job
incredible effort in the videos. thankyou
You got some Mad Skills, Spring time is the best time to get lost aye. I always say make sandals.
I love this video, thanks. happy journey!
What a legend..
Tom was on Naked and afraid, kicked butt there. Definitely knows what he is doing.
Thank you sir
Amazing videos!
Amazing. You have a great Heart
This guy is amazing!
Great video. Any idea when you'll be back to teach a class near your home base ?
Wouldn't it be really awesome if you did eastern woodland winter survival (Or at least somewhere cold)? (Yes it would be.)
Two thumbs up
How did you set the ropes for the sandals?
Truly amazing work, by the way.
I like your tee-shirt. I have a sweat shirt for Standing Rock.
Awesome. Thanks for the info and how to?
These are both really amazing videos! I watch quite a lot of these bushcraft videos and these are as good as it gets! I learned a lot. Thanks! I'm curious, what region/area of the Sonoran Desert were you in? I spent a lot of time out there and I'm always intrigued as to new areas that I could explore.
Yucca root can be used as a natural soap.
I love these vids
This guy still lives in the cave. But now he rigged up some internet and is doing just fine 😃
Inspiring!
Obiwan Kenobi look alike, love your channel keep up
Nicely done... but INITIALLY, it takes one thing to survive which he has and some of us do not... youth.
Use a solar charger your a joy to watch
Lmao look at all his video thumbnails, he's in the same position in almost all of them XD Could be a possible meme
My favorite thing to eat in the desert is the fruit of the prickly pair but I guess they weren't in season? Also, I'm new to your videos so maybe you've addressed this but why don't you wear shoes? I don't understand that, especially in the desert with sharp rocks, snakes, cactus & scorpions!
If I was him, I wouldn't sleep next to the fire, cuz I move a lot when I sleep so I might accidentally put my leg or foot in the fire🔥🔥🔥🔥
Samantha Tran lol
My Art Channel same
But not for very long...!
LoL you'll only do it once!
Nice!!
Nice shirt! Were you at Standing Rock?
How do you poop in the dessert? Do you bury it, so not to attract bears? Do you use your hands to wipe? Or maybe the rat pelt? Or a pear cactus with removed needles? I have no clue so I’m asking.
I wonder how many live you saved or will save I love this stuff!
You just need to make the yucca Gucci logo for those sandals and you could clean up! Awesome video, subbed ....
One question can u eat snakes ?
Yes. Rattlesnakes are venomous not poisonous meaning their venom is only harmful if injected not ingested... assuming you have no cuts in your mouth. Maybe best to just avoid the head. Not sure how you'd safely go about catching one though and you don't see them often enough for them to be a staple.
i saw a youtuber kill a rattle snake with a stick while he was surviving out in the wild but it was quite long, i would say about 3m long
Tastes like chicken!
Amazing as a novice prepper I found it most instructive and I will use it forever thank you for your time harleybayo
Where did you learn all this from?
But what do you do if you get stung by a scorpions or bite by a snake?
As he walked out he forgot to take his shirt. Of course he had to come back and get his camera, so it was probably lying next to the camera.
Next video in 10 months, right?
:`(
TheSauronchik ....hopefully by late August
YAY!
Tom McElroy-Wild Survival i think you could make it to northern quebec really far up north or even nunavut in the tundras, im sure it would be a good challenge there are no trees lots of lakes and rivers and its extremly cold in winter and hot in summer, theres no grass trees bush or dirt its all rocky
Can't you do a duo 2-3 week survival
He covered his paddle with rope he wove from agave because....of course he did
Damn I don't I can eat that rat stew! I probably will stick to the berry n desert fruit
give this man a netflix series
just makes me realize how smart humans are and how these fragile, no claw no sharp teeth no tough skin creatures came to take over the world. with intelligence.
r u an ailen
Weapon = Sharp mind.
We have Canines and the masseter is the strongest muscle in the body.
Yeah, I wish I saw what you see. I see humans as stupid and dull and not survival oriented! You bet we are fragile because we live coddled lives!
No, we took over the world with language. If we didn’t have language, the Neanderthals would be ruling the world.
First time viewer. Absolutely amazing.
I love finding someone underrated like this on UA-cam, not demanding i SMASH THE LIKE BUTTON AND RING THAT BELL BROS. quality content, entertaining without drama, spot on stuff. keep making this stuff!
After all that I've learned watching Tom in the desert, I am pretty confident I could survive....for 20-minutes.
cave, water, fire, clay pottery, rope, meat, fruit, veg, basket, sandals: sweeeeeet!!!
dont forget that cantene
would like to see him create floss, toothbrush and mouthwash
and automobile
+brownhippy : I want to see him weave a bicycle, and ride it home. I don't doubt he could! lol
@@brownhippy , lol funny shit...but yeah...that'd be cool too lol
Whaat?! I thought I was going to have to wait ages until part 2!!!
yo
Excellent Video Tom, I'm in the twilight of my life so it's too late for me try it out. Having said that, it's given me so much pleasure to walk along with you. Keep going , thank you & keep going.
Chris fro the UK.
Thank you Chris, glad you are able to tag along! --tom
NEVER 2 OLD,THATS WHAT KEEPS ME YOUNG,60 YRS YOUNG& STILL GOING ON LIKE 18!!!
You’re only as old as the women you feel. Keep going soldier!
No it isn't your twilight [not to mention that dawn and dusk are best in the deserts] I knew a guy who was 102-106. You can still enjoy the magnificent solitude of deserts at any time of life!
If you have haven't lit a friction fire, you haven't lived.
Humble and full of survival knowledge. 10/10
You are the Michael Jordan of survival, dude. Absolutely incredible.
This guy should have his own network show
Amazing. I've been consuming a lot of survival and build type of content. This, by far, has been the most amazing one I've seen. Absolutely loved it. Walks in with no shoes, a pair of shorts, a t-shirt and a shirt and proceeds to thrive and create. Just crazy and wonderful. Inspiring.
Wow, I am really impresed of all the useful things you coud make in the desert. This is for sure one of the best videos about desert survival I have ever seen!
7:20 Anyone else on the edge of their seats as they watch the bug crawling towards him in time lapse?
really awesome video!!!
what kind of vid? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Heyy its lilly!
Love your vids too!
Agree he is very good, but I'm inclined to bring along a few more tools. I'd rather do it "Lilly Style".
Survival Lilly that's all your going to say in all his videos... Whatever 😪😒😑
Hey Lilly! I've seen a lot of your vids but I don't remember you doing one for dessert situations. Would love to see what you come up with!
Can you make a survival in a cold area? Some of that Chris McCandless stuff
Taste The Sno yes
Just don’t die like Chris McCandless
Yes he really should
Taste The Sno this guy does not do good in cold climate...lol....
@@philoeolivarria448 how u know wtf?
have you ever thought about going out and doing more than a week? with a prolonged time you'd be able to make more pottery, a better shelter, and possibly show how to preserve meats?
too stinky...
We have successfully made fridges made out of the mud. You can go look that up. It runs on water...
And add some solar, for your camera batteries.;)
keep up the Absolutely awesome work man, it sucked to have found your channel at the point where you hadn't made a recent video, but hell, to see you return in style, and show how it's done, you deserve any and all credit. all the best man :) hope to see more of your adventures soon
Ben Parsons I'm the same, I found his channel nine months ago and was really disappointed after two months but I'm glad I stayed subbed
Jynx i cam exactly 9 months ago too lol, i kept checking and found nothing. Im suprised i stayed subbed too
I have just fount this videos today, i was curious about survival skills because i was playing a survival game called Dont Starve haha, but looking this video was really entertaining.
dude u are soooooooooooooo creative
I live out here in Phoenix and this has inspired me a lot to go out and explore my back yard. Thank you sir!!
Dude, sometimes this guy reminds me how much we take for granted the life we live in.
After you were gone, someone found your pottery in the desert and thought it was some ancient civilization living out there.
I am impressed with your knowledge and skills.
I live here in the Sonoran desert and loved your video. Keep up the awesome work!
cant get enough of these practical survival videos.
This dude is a legend. My favorite survival expert by far, puts Bear Grills and Les Stroud to shame.
I've watched a lot of "survival skills" videos and this is one of my favorites. You demonstrate some really useful and easy skills. Thank you!
Wow, this is incredible. You could have survived there for months or years lol
Yay you made a vid keep going!
🌻Fascinating, just happened to stumble across your chanel and I'm hooked❤ in part one, I have learned sooo much, should I need to survive a day or two, three, four... I'm confident that I will glance around and immediately recall all the types of plants, how to build shelter, how to start a fire, weave my own basket how to trap for food, where and how to find water (if I'm lucy)and I'm not even through part two😍Thank you so much for such a packed minute by minute educational video, tutorial Thanks, and a whole bunch of love and Positive energy sent your way👍❤🌻
Tom, absolutely awesome & glad to see new videos. I understand the time, money & energy you put into making gr8 quality & informative content. So thank again!
Man, am I jealous! I wish I was in your shoes.

Patrick Bateman I figured it was a matter of time before someone said that haha.

LMAO
What are thoooooooooose ???!!
