$10 Dollar Store Survival Challenge + Catch & Cook!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- I had 10 minutes and ten bucks at the dollar store to get all essential gear for a 24 hour catch and cook survival challenge! Wild radish, nasturtium, wild three cornered leek, limpets, mussels, yerba buena, and more!

Are you a Marine Biologist or some sort of marine scientist? You seem to be very knowledgeable about the sea world. I love your channel! New subscriber!!!
Jennifer, I am a doctor of anthropology and archaeology with an emphesis in maritime forager adaptations to the Pacific Coast, but I have been foraging the sea since I was 2 years old so this is a blend of passion and formal education. Thanks so much for watching!
Everything you was saying while making the hook i respect the hell out of it.keep teaching us the old ways DR
Whoa, dude you are the first guy I watched doing survival stuff with a level of knowledge that belongs to a classroom. Old phrase but true here “dropping science on us”
Yes - we ARE enjoying the video!
As a geologist I love it when you bring such terminology as Mohs hardness scale, graywacke, quartz and feldspar, etc. into your conversation. Some basic knowledge of geology can be very useful when one goes into survival mode. It is extremely useful in assessing the best materials for stone tool making.
Glad you dig it Donald! I completely agree that this is essential to survival. Can't wait to highlight the Franciscan and Monterey formations in a coming video!
I typically laugh at the 24 hour “survival” challenges, since with the exception of avoiding hypothermia, you can survive without pretty much anything for 24 hours. You, however, have shown some really cool creativity, and made this a fun video to watch.
This is gourmet survival
As a paleontologist/geologist I definitely appreciated the greywacke representation lol, also using it to sharpen hooks is a great idea and I’ll definitely try doing that
You deserve so many more subscribers. You're knowledgeable and doing what all of us here wish we could do. Also, your ideology with primitive technology is Kool.
Thanks for the kind words and support!
What an awesome, fun, and creative video. As a fan it means a lot that you take our suggestions seriously, when coming up with ideas on what to do. I hope you and Diane have a blessed holiday. Happy holiday season to everyone out there.
Thanks Rick! Happy Holidays!
Great content! Thanks for sharing!
“Keep the old ways alive”
Hey! Nasturtiums also have AMAZING antibiotic properties. You eat the leaves. Not too big because they're too peppery and fibrous. Not too small. About medium. Eat them - whenever you get the chance. Wash them first - dogs pee on them. You don't want hepatitis/biliary. Since I started eating these leaves I've never had an Upper Respiratory Tract Infection.
Man that's the cleanest Dollar tree I have ever seen!
I think its good to know the primitive way to survive. If there is no electricity and wifi which it will happen during apocalyptic time, what you are teaching will be very useful.
Hopefully we never have to use it. But just in case...
Awesome video
Use a Limpet on your poke pole! They work way better than mussels!
I did eventually, and that was actually what was getting hit! That being said, by the time I started poke poling I only had two hrs before dark and still had to cook, eat and hike back to camp. I will try it again in the future with a limpet when I have more light! Thanks!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 Can't wait for your video with Matts! Would be really cool to see you catch a Monkeyface on a nail!
What a blast Kevin! I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you and Diane had a wonderful Christmas.
Many Blessings
The best budget survival video 👏👍
Thank you!
you said something very true, you can learn a whole lot of survival skills from the homeless.
When I have time I'll make a video about the techniques I've learned from them.
great show really enjoyed it
You have an amazing channel brother. I remember you from one of Matt's videos. I'm glad you made your own channel to share your knowledge and adventures with us!
Thanks!
I found you through fishermans life and im loving the content!
Kevin, you should have millions of subscribers.
Thanks!
That meal looked incredible
Excellent Video and so much Fun to see you do this !! If I visit Cali, I will definitely look you up. Would love to go foraging for clams and muscles, Thanks for always sharing your talents. Merry Christmas 💗🙏🎄🎣🌟👍
Merry Christmas!
Outstanding!
Happy Holidays :) Lots of good in this video, so much could be long conversations over coffee. Really enjoyed that pocket lips approach you took through-out. Good you passed on that folding knife, many have seen that and been lured by the serrations and then nearly had a life altering medical outcome from using that one. Condiments are 100% legit, as Addicted Fishing's Jordan Knigge calls it "Gas Station Foraging".
Merry Christmas to you & your family dollar tree survivals are the best
Likewise!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback!
That was really cool!
5:34 You remind me of the home alone sticky bandits right here. lol
Lol I totally see it!
Thank you for the episode! I'm pretty sure I learned a thing or two... I hope you'll consider putting the foraged plants in the description and I think your video will become more searchable. Cheers!
Your video came like a present for holidays doc thanks 😊
Only just discovered your videos. Impressive and informative. You've inspired me to go out, and try something l've always yearn to try. Thanks and appreciation man. Will follow all of your vids.💯👍👌🐠👏🤤. Of the many, you are the real deal l'm please, to learn from you.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Another great vid, also we need more porcini videos!
Very underrated you tuber
saw this vid in my subscriptions and went 'who is this guy, why am i subbed to him?', watched this and realised why i subbed, even if i can't remember when it happened
Just found you
Great job. You seem to be fairly knowledgeable about wild edibles in your area. ❤❤❤❤
25:24 I’m looking forward to this video idea
awesome vid
Such a rad video!
Thanks man!
Yeah, well, I'm just a plain ole supermarket worker. I live in Missouri and I wish I could take classes to learn these survival techniques.
Lol "plain ole supermarket workers" bring food to our tables on the daily. Hope you can join me sometime. In the meantime I am sure there are tons of foraging opportunities to be found in Missouri! A good place to start in your area might be a Perterson Field Guide book to local plants and a micological society or hiking club with an emphesis on plants and trees of your area. Eulle Gibbons' Stalking the Wild Asparagus might also help. I bet there are some good fishing opportunities out your way as well. Just be sure to get a fishing license and look up your local fishing regulations. Take a look at Google Maps and look for green color in your area. This will also help you hone in on local public lands to start your adventure. Thanks for watching!
That was so much fun. Always feel smarter after watching your videos. Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays!
I truly appreciate you knowledge, much love from Texas
Thanks Jovanni! Happy Holidays!
Yes! 😃it’s called opihi in Hawai’i and it’s eaten both raw and cooked. 🤙🏼
Yes! A great wild food and eaten by so many cultures around the world and throughout time! Thanks for watching!
Im not making fun of your noodles .cus i made flower tortillas las time ..n damn they where diformed 😁😁😁 looked like i ran over with the truck 🤣
In the beginning, "God... made man in His likeness". He gave skills to men, knowledge of "technology" whether "primitive" or "modern", and provision through nature. Very interesting skills. But mankind has always been mankind, as God said. Blessings to you.
I'm going to have to get out there soon
Great stuff, keep it up!
Great video Kev. The food looked really good. A while back I made a fish hook out of the can opener handle on an WWII ration tin. I wish I had known the stick trick you showed us. I had to cheat and use a vice and pliers.
Well done 👏
Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas Kevin, thanks for the entertainment
Merry Christmas!
ah love prohos videos
In places where a fire being seen is a bad idea , you should make a Dakota in ground fire pit.
I agree that Dakota fire holes are very discrete and typically safer but in my camp spot fire was strictly prohibited so I chose not to have one. I plan to use a Dakota fire hole in a future video though as they are a brilliant innovation! Thanks for watching!
Back when Dollar Tree was still a $1 😮
Lol, guess I have to do it again now!
they have a plastic drop cloth in the tool section that is bigger than the tarp and the shower curtain but I have never seen anyone choose that.
Very nice job very nice!! Can you elaborate on harvesting the limpet's by hand "you have to be quick?" thanks again!!
Yeah boi get into that graywacke!! love it!! indurated sandstone!! oh my keep up keep up!!
I'm pretty sure that if they sense what's happening they clamp on harder, and it's more difficult to get them.
@@megmcguireme Wow!! I wonder if that force can be measured?! The geologist side of me gets rocked out while the geotechnical engineering side 'stays civil!'
Thanks for your reply!!
@@k4x4map46 It is just as Megan said above. I will get into it in more detail (and how to get around it) in a future limpet-specific video. But the main thing is they have eyes, so if they see you coming (and even if they are not looking but if their shell get's bumped), they use their damp "foot" like a suction cup and clamp down. Once clamped, they are tremendously difficult to get off the rock without a pry bar. Unfortunately, using a pry bar tends to cut them and since they are hemophiliacs they will bleed out, so it is illegal in CA to use them for this species.
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 wow! sooo much to learn; I'm ready!! thank ya!
You walked past the best shelter the Dollar store has, i.e. the table cloths. The table cloth is bigger and stronger then the shower curtians.
Not surprised. A limit of five minutes in a store to get all necessities for 24 hrs in the woods will cause you to rush and likely miss a lot. It was a good exercise to "keep calm and carry on."
Excellent video, one tip please look into normalizing or compressing your audio signal across the video so that there aren't such jarring volume differences
cool!
I imagine it more like...all the stores have been looted, there's minimal items left on the shelves, and if you can fashion survival items out of the random things left, like shower curtains, nails, etc....then maybe you'll have a better chance of surviving
That makes sense. It was actually the last store I found hand sanitizer at during the pandemic shortage, so there is definitely some sense to that. - Cheers
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 I do get really excited whenever you post videos about how to fashion things out of random things found in nature, it's super educational, and I always bank that into my brain for the future 😉
Please post a link to the prices for your outings. Also, where will you be during the big low tide before New Year's? 🌲🐟🐚
Merry Christmas Dr. Kevin 🙏🎄🎁🎉🎣
Likewise!
Would love to have someone like you to do this with where I live
Lol I'm from the big island of hawaii and yes most of us do eat the gut
Wrenglerster wasn't the one who invented this challenge, it came from an Outdoor & Survival Blog
Makes sense. That's just the first place I heard of it I guess.
most people definitely eat the guts on the limpets in Hawaii.
i spent a month camping on the big island earlier this year, and foraged and fished for the majority of my food, and i was only able to do it because of all the things i learned from some locals i met. they showed me which limpets and snails to go for, different ways of preparing and eating them, and all sorts of things that made it possible to survive on almost nothing while i was there. i seriously spend about $300 while on the island for a month, and almost $200 of that was gas money for rides to a couple of really hard to reach spots, and a ride to town at the last minute because i mixed up the date of my return flight and almost missed my flight lol
but i have tried both with and without the guts, and i prefer with the guts, unless im eating a lot. like if im filling up on just limpets all day, i will definitely squeeze out the guts on most of them because it becomes too much after like 50 or so in a day lol
The guts probably increase the vitamin content.
@@susanp.collins7834 absolutely! they mostly eat algae and seaweed, which is packed full of good nutrients, and it tastes pretty good too. but like i said, after a bunch of them i start getting rid of the guts because it becomes too much, and it can even cause a bit of discomfort in your stomach, but it takes maybe 40 or 50 medium sized ones in a day to get to that point, at least for me.
but fortunately the guts are an amazing attractant for fish, so if you're fishing and using artificial baits you just scrape the guts off and rube them on your lure, then you eat the meat of the limpet. or just use the limpet as bait and make sure you pop the gut sack while hooking it.
sorry if it's a bit gross, but surviving can definitely be more than a little bit gross lol
But you isn't use the oil! Lol. I was looking forward to like fried dough for breakfast with like something foraged or caught
Alternative ways to wipe a butt in the woods is what impressed him? Hmm. _Impressive._ 🤔
🤣
Turns out it is an essential skill just like eating lol
Where did you learn all this stuff about the edible plants and animals? And how do you remember it lol?
A lifetime of being in the woods I guess? Some people can type a mile a minute on a computer, I cannot, but plants and animal behavior... that is in my wheelhouse :) thanks for watching!
you couldn't even get half of that for that price at the dollar tree by me :'D
i wonder if you can make some kind of fishing hook or lure using dollar store items without using actual fishing hooks or lures
Looks like I will have to do this challenge again! I made hooks out of dollar store nails at one point and I caught fish with them (just not in this vid) but I will have to try it again I think!
Yoy know we don't really have shops like this on South Africa. I think because of the rand/dollar rate of exchange. Looking at all this stuff makes me want to SHOPLIFT! I want to dump everything into a trolley, push it out of the door and ALL THE WAY BACK TO SOUTH AFRICA😂.
Lol, it's not worth it. Nothing at these low cost stores are made to last long. A swap meet/flea market/garage sale survival challenge would likely produce a superior kit for about the same cost. Might have to do that as a follow up vid. Thanks for watching!
Imagine stuck at an island with just those item
I'm new here awesome video
Thank you! Welcome to my channel!
I am really enjoying your channel always wanted to know what is edible I live in Ohio, so it would be interesting to know what actually grows here. Have you ever heard of a green called Creasy?
Thanks! I have not heard of it. I would think that there are some good books on wild edible plants of your area though. I really recommend Euell Gibbons' "Stalking the Wild Asparagus" as a place to begin and find inspiration. Many of the plants discussed there will also likely translate to your area. A Peterson Field Guide might be a good place to start to learn to identify some species, but if you look into Ohio ethnobotany there may be some good Indiginous plant knowledge compiled somewhere as well. Good luck!
Thank you
Did you and Matt ever do that shell hook collaboration? I really want to check that one out, but I haven’t been able to find it.
Not yet Joe. I was just thinking I need to get on that! I will do my best to get our schedules aligned and make that vid happen this summer! Thanks for the reminder!
Man I was just talking about doing this what my brother
what material was that jacket your brother made made of?
Kevin, my brother made us a pair of jackets from an old US military blanket. It is my go-to jacket on cold winter hunts and forays.
Thanks to inflation this is no longer a dollar store survival challenge. Lets go Brandon!
Dollar Tree is $1.25 now
Oh no!!!!!!!
im guessing you were about to go into how primitive has a negative connotation towards people of color which can be seen in the same way history is written from the white mans perspective, but hey you have a phd in this so i will let you explain that much more articulately
Chew with your mouth closed please
OK so this is disappointing you popped up on my notifications today stating that you were doing a dollar store survival now you’re saying most of it was two years ago that you picked out those items so if you were going to do the video over again you should’ve done the video over again… I will not continue watching goodbye
No big loss.Talk about unforgiving. Start your own channel sweetpea.
That's pretty aggressive. I'm certainly enjoying the video, and as someone who frequents the dollar store I can say the things he bought 2 years ago are still there. How bout being glad he didn't contribute to extra waste just to please you?
Bye Felicia!
@@megmcguireme
Not sure if the "aggressive " comment was meant for me?
But if it was...you don't get out much. Lol
@@desertfairychickres4021 It wasn't.
