I am surprised that this is the only video I have found that actually shows how to make a coat/blanket quickly from grass/leaves. When I watch survival shows, one of the biggest drags on the participants is getting cold at night because they have inadequate covering...... yet something as useful as making a quick blanket seems to be passed over in their "must do" lists.
great videos ...love watching them...i would be cool to see some vieos of natural cordage harvesting and time of year for that...i am really intested in the blackberry cordage if harvested in spring time..all so maybe a look at some of the books you use for info or native books..i live in oregon so we have the same material...thanks for the hard work on the videos...thanks john
I just stumbled upon your channel and subscribed after viewing a single video (Ethnobotany | Essential Plants & Trees PNW Native Americans) and plan on viewing all you've posted to pick up some tips. It doesn't hurt to have some of my own ideas and experience validated either! I've spent "unplanned" nights in the PNW and Rocky Mountain outdoors more than once after running out of daylight or being isolated away from camp due to weather (once, a headwind arose on a high plateau of the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness that was so severe I knew I couldn't hike into it to return to camp) or other circumstances. Usually, I've relied on fire to make such experiences more endurable, if not comfortable. That noted, when an "oh crap" situation develops too close to dark in a location lacking a nearby abundance of dry firewood, I've used natural vegetation to supplement the insulation of my clothing. Stuffing the space between my teeshirt and outer flannel with Salal foliage provided enough insulating loft to make the night temperatures bearable during one September bow hunting adventure that I did not need to kindle the meager firewood supply until nearly 2:00 AM!
Outstanding!!!
Ok
😅
I watch a lot of outdoors videos, ands you guys are quickly becoming my favorite. I just don't see some of this anywhere else.
Not thought about moss man since the eighties ! Brilliant video. Thanks
ahhh...the eighties...GI Joe, Transformers, and Masters of the Universe...
I would be interested to see an experiment with a thermometer to understand how much it keeps warmth really

Dang - I've been doing primitive bushcraft for years and have never thought of Mossman Suit! Really cool!
the MOSSMAN lives on! Good job! Well done!
Great idea and great content. I love how everything you do is realistic and useful for basic survival or wilderness living.
Thank you!

Thanks for the requests. That all sounds like great material for future videos. Glad you enjoy the content we're making.

Experience is a great teacher! Thanks for sharing.
The biggest challenge is to keep you dry with natural materials.
Where locale was this made in?
Northwest Oregon, about an hour west of Mt Hood.
