Thanks for the video! I think everyone who considers themselves a prepper or survivalist needs to do a 24 hour challenge similar to the one in this video. It is very easy to say “I can do that” while you sit in your warm house on your comfy couch snacking on cheese-its. Appreciate all of you at survival dispatch! Keep making great content!
Yeah, I'm a little older and did that stuff in the 70s. We all learn (hopefully) to not follow a crazy Salyer when he says `you can only take these items' LOL. Rob@@ONThree
G'day Mr. Salyer & Mr. JJ. Great 24hr Challenge and with the undulations & downpour makes it more challenging especially for the minors. A 10 points to all of them for participating. We (3 of us) just returned from a 3 day camping. The weather was totally opposite to you guys, very hot, dry & the breeze is like it's coming out from a blowtorch. It was Hot.! We were prepared, we knew the weather & location but we didn't expect to see so many snakes. A survivalist would say "Food"! but I'm a vegan & my twin sisters are vegetarian. Lucky snakes.! Anyway we survived to haunt both of you more...! After 3 days of not communicating with mum & dad, it makes you appreciate what you have. Now back to the challenge. We would take 1) Waterproof Tarp, it's a tent without its fiberglass frames. It would have been perfect for Mr.JJ with his "bigfoot" bedding. 2) Grayl - for contingency. It's a light weight filtration & water carrier. 3) Torch light with multiple setting including Red & Green light. You folks call it Flash light. 4) A knife would be good but we choose our Multitool, it's modified for bushcraft usages. 5) First Aid that would have to be complimentary to the bush. You guys call it woods. Of course we're not going to tell Mr. Salyer that our pockets are full of vegan & vegetarian snacks & energy bars & sherberts and wet wipes. We're girls OK.?! Love the vid. Love you both. Always getting & learning new things from both of you. Well.."Drop Bears are actually Koala Bears whom are not bears but Marsupials, meaning they carry their young in Pouches around the belly. We tell tourist & foreigners stories of Drop Bears jumping off trees & attacking them on the ankles. Outsiders seem to think that Australia have strange animals. We do actually, they're call Yowie or Bunyip. That's another story. In the meantime... Fuel the Fires. Happy Lunar Year to all in The Land of the Brave. Cheers from The Land Down Under.
Ahhhhh- finally, the “drop bear” mystery is solved! Haha.. Thanks! Glad to hear y’all are back and doing well.. I definitely would have ate the snakes lol- totally respect y’all’s choices though… I brought a kit the audience here picked for me- not my usual load out.. Made due with the choices Jason made us make.. We did the thing and made it to the other side.. Great to see we were surrounded by women and children as well- they did great.. Love y’all’s choices for gear and love and appreciate each and every one of you.. Tell momma I really enjoyed her commentary while y’all were camping 🔥❤️🔥
Hi SD😊❤ So after watching the video like a good few days ago I have come to the conclusion that you definitely want a tarp a poncho at least one of them if not both, a knife with plenty of cordage on the sheath, a water container preferably one with a filter as it would be easier and the nesting cup to a company it, and obviously a way of guessing a fire together but being aware if it poors down and there's no dry wood do you need that poncho or a tarp, always a knife with cordage and at least one torch with more than one lighter and Ferro rod, and then any food is a bonus😊 as you can tell by the look on Jay's face😅😊😊, fuel the fires looked so happy for having food😊. PS your clothing is the first line of Defence for your body regarding to the weather so you need to be warm and dry have something to drink a way of getting a fire together but if not at least being warm and dry with a way of being able to see in the dark if you have to leave😊
Outstanding!!! Once you've done it you know you can. Those limited space, you can't wander very far challenges must be a little distressing. Your instincts must be to go somewhere better.
He definitely forced that on us and you’re right- my instincts would have taken me to a different place for sure.. We did it though! Thanks for hanging out with us 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Great to see the young ones out there learning, as well as watching adults as they struggle. Good environment for survival education. I even learned some things. First, I thought I would dig out a bed to make it level, however, that expends a lot of energy and seeing how a bed was rolled up next to a tree made it very simplistic, and the moss was a great topper. Great video.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! Yes, that was the exact reason I didn’t dig it out.. After making a bough bed topped with debris, I used down tree limbs to hold it all in place-worked great! Thanks for watching 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
I have spent a few completely unplanned nights in bad weather and a few nights in poorly planned and executed both were equally uncomfortable. Watching this brings back fond memories of my youth in the 60's. What I have learned is that being prepared is the only option and there is no such thing as over prepared. Think I watch this again while having hot cup of tea.
Now this is what you don't really see and find around UA-cam often. Did a thing before where we were gonna spend 2 nights out in the mountains, was great and all that, never made it to the 2nd night cuz everyone else had issues and whatnot. I had a pack filled with junk that's not even necessary, didn't even get to using like 10% of what I had, so yeah there was that. Learned a lot, although it feels like ages ago, and defs wanna do something like this tho. Good job regardless guys, you got experience through this 🙌
It’s amazing how much you don’t actually use when you go out.. Of course, this was minimal and we could have definitely had more than what we carried.. It was a great exorcise though.. Thanks for watching!
@@FueltheFires for sure, and at least you know what's useful and useless at this point. I really need to look into that coat you got there, saw your vid and it's a really neat piece of equipment too. Keep on doing these things, I'm sure it'll be useful somewhere along the line for sure, and stay safe out there 💪
learning from other people's mistakes so you won't have to make them is a prime survival skill... so thank you for today's lesson... which is : improvise, adopt, make you're own rules(don't follow other ppl rules) every other second!...
Oh I would have similar choices as yours. Sentimental: knife w/ferro. Cant live without: Grayl. Shouldnt of brought: food. Carry it all in: MMS Bivy. Upgrade: flashlight
Raised bed and cloak looks pretty awesome considering the circumstances. Would it have been anymore bearable if you had set it up as a shelter or was it better as a ranger roll in that rain?
I made a video called “Gear for your SHTF”.. Here is where I show it in use as a poncho and as a shelter ua-cam.com/video/WLTPqpDHIc0/v-deo.htmlsi=VH2qfAAcy1_yEFK5
We believe in pushing ourselves and introducing stress inoculation.. If you don’t train on the limits you never know how you will perform on those limits 👊🏻
@FueltheFires I've been always in the train of thought that a knife , tarp / poncho and metal container is should how you should train, then when you have the extras you are basically inconvenient camping, great job guys ! Love to see more videos like this!
Can't believe nobody cleared the dry leaves out from around their fire spots. That's NOT thinking ahead. Surprised Jason didn't call them out on this. Smh
@@FueltheFires I'm guessing you have never seen how fast a fire can catch and get out of control? All those fires and a gust of wind........... nothing but a canteen to carry water in...... Bad call. A real bad call bro. I don't know that I would even call that a creek. It was more like a trickle from what the video shows.
@@yakfishin4912I’ve worked large forest fires before and understand completely what you’re saying.. It was hard to see how wet everything was in the video
Same here ky ,wv. The crunch of the leaves didn't come across as a wet ground. Important thing is folks seemed to have learned a few things and had some fun. The kids were a added bonus too. Thank you guys for doing that for them too.
How can I find like minded people like me? I would like to learn more about survival skills. I am not sure whom to contact to make the contact in my area. I am in Bastrop La
i usually enjoy your content. this video is a model of what not to do. the fire section beginning at ~10:00 is absolute cringe worthy. please teach these kids responsible fire skills.
Sometimes you simply have to embrace the suck. Excellent job gentlemen and ladies!
That’s right.. I must have said that 25 times that night lol

Agreed! We ALL need to test ourselves every so often and get out of our comfort zone.. We appreciate you- thanks for watching 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
“If I could choose one person to be with me on a deserted island…it wouldn’t be Jason. He’d say this isn’t tough enough.” 😂😂😂
We all had a ball talking out scenarios where Jason would say, “This isn’t miserable enough!” 😂 Kept our spirits up!
That's what I call spending quality time with friends and family. Learning stuff and making memories.👍🏻
We definitely had our work cut out for us but in the end we prevailed! The best part was being with people we cared about 🔥
Agreed!! Nothing like mutual suffering to build strong bonds.
@@ONThree And teaching/helping the kids along the way. Excellent job, gentlemen.👍🏻
Totally agree.
Yeah, I'm a little older and did that stuff in the 70s. We all learn (hopefully) to not follow a crazy Salyer when he says `you can only take these items' LOL. Rob@@ONThree
Glad to see the kids interested in this too. Especially since we are heavy into a digital world.
Absolutely! We were super happy to have them out there with us and we made sure they knew that 🔥
@@FueltheFires
High 5 to you guys for this.
Stuff like this can very well
Change their futures too.

SO COOL watching us do this with Our families!
Rock on 🤘🏻
The saying is “Get out of your comfort zone”. Roger, negative comfort 😂😂

Great job you Survived, thank you for sharing. I can't wait until I can get out there and do the same thing.
Get out there, test your skills and feel good about it 👊🏻

Great challenge! Adapt and overcome
We made it happen and helped several along the way!
That's an awesome challenge. A little suffering reminds us how well we have it.
This is very true! The hot meal, the hot shower, the clean clothes and warm bed- oh yeah…
Great Job on the video J.J.! Thanks for joining in the “fun”.
Thanks brother- I enjoyed the problem solving opportunities.. Thanks for having me 👊🏻
This sort of challenge is beyond the scope of many avid indoorsmen ! ! !
Ha! I see what you did there.
That was really awesome guys keep up the awesome job God bless you always and stay safe outdoors
Thank you! We really appreciate that 🔥

I will second that!
Great work all. Now you all need a part 2
We can make that happen!
Looks like a really cool exercise I’ve been thinking of doing something similar with my son.
Go for it! It will be a lifetime memory 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Great video brother. That night looked like it really sucked.
The night was rough to say the least.. Jason ordered a good one 😂
@FueltheFires yes he did, but at least he stuck with you guys.
@@elevatorman7750Jason would never do that- he even prevailed with his back outa whack!
@FueltheFires Roger that I figured he would be there come hell or high-water . You guys seem like my kinda people. Thanks again buddy

This is true brother, and if you’re gonna be wrong- be strong 💪🏻
I believe in knowledge > gear, but that camo cloak is just dripping with swag. I don't NEED it, but boy howdy do I want one.
I totally hear you on that one 😂
Definitely fun times 😜😆, hopefully everyone learned something, I hope you guys do more videos like that 🤙🤙🤙
We can certainly make that happen 👍🏻
Great learning experience.
It definitely was!
As always great video
Thank you for the support! 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Great video!
Thank you!
This is a deep dive in SHTF. Reality can be discouraging 😊
True that!
Oh I would have similar choices as yours. Sentimental: knife w/ferro. Cant live without: Grayl. Shouldnt of brought: food. Carry it all in: MMS Bivy. Upgrade: flashlight
Отличное времяпрепровождение! С умом и толком!
Thank you!
Nice to see all the up and coming survivalists.
The kids did a great job! Glad to have them on the challenge with us.. They really put the effort in and kept a great attitude!
Thanks for trying! I am not sure why he goes after the suffering so hard 😂
This was a Captain Battlebox comment lol
He is not right in the head.
You should call it "Suffering with Salyer".
We’ve kinda coined that phrase now 😂
Hahaha!! That is exactly what we call it!!
Raised bed and cloak looks pretty awesome considering the circumstances. Would it have been anymore bearable if you had set it up as a shelter or was it better as a ranger roll in that rain?
Look while working with minimal gear serves as a nice mental exercise in reality we should be fully prepared
Yes, that’s exactly the point here- be prepared! 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Tough challenge impressive
We made the best of it with minimal resources and gear- feel pretty good about the results!
Can you tell us more about the cloak you keep referring to?
I made a video called “Gear for your SHTF”.. Here is where I show it in use as a poncho and as a shelter

He is making that nutrient survival sound way better than it is. It is not good. Especially when you are not truly starving
Your body craves the nutrients when it’s under stress.. I hear what you’re saying but that particular product does taste really good
It's not dumb if it works.
That’s true!
Feed the volcanos 🌋! 😂😅
⛽️ the 🔥
Seemed appropriate at the time 😂
What is MMS?
I was referring to the Military Modular Sleeping System- specifically the Gortex bivy 👍🏻
@@FueltheFires ok cool. Thanks for your quick response

You know it!!
It’s good to get out of your comfort zone and let someone else take control 👍🏻
Jason, were you any chance an evaluator on a EOD ARTEP at Ft. Polk during the late 90's ? Asking for a friend.
Nope! But sounds like something I would be qualified for. Hahahahaha!!
16:07 ok, time to dig a hole.
Bearded dude wears russian "Gorka" costume. Nice))
Being nice .but I wouldn't make it ten minutes with that cat calling the shots. Hope they aren't paying for that course.
😎👍
That is both why I think Jason and I would be friends and not be friends. Juts being honest.
Jason, is that your twin brother sitting beside you?
Nathan and him look like they could be family
@@FueltheFires do you mean to say they are not even brothers? They are identical!

Hard to tell… but those fires were built IN THE CREEK. Suffering with Salyer!

That night she was for sure lol
