“It’s riding a bit lower than usual, I think there might be a hole”
Top notch intro 😂
It's a low rider it's supposed to do that
It really was an awesome intro 😂
Those mosquitoes are straight from hell! I could see and hear them in the video. Keeping calm and collected while an army of mosquitoes and flies are attacking you is probably the biggest challenge. They are the most relentless creatures on earth. Great video! 👍
Not really if you cover yourself with mud. Jump in water in morning
"riding a bit lower than usual" 😂😂😂
I love how you kept your good spirit and humour throughout the video ! You give such good vibes, love it !
Wouldn't even think of that scenario without my Bear Essentials Buck Saw & Diamond sharpening wallet !!! Lol...!!!!
Eyyyyyyyy!! If I could like this comment twice I would !!
@@TheBearEssentials Thanks again DJ!!! Oh...I received a $10 e-gift card...will have to do some more shopping @ Bear Essentials !!!
Wow, I loved watching you use the bow drill fire! Can't wait to try it on the next camping trip! I also loved how you patched the canoe - ingenius : ) Thanks DJ
You Are 🎉❤ Amazing . I'm spiritual the earth is a massive healer ❤
There are fish that swim along the shore in search of food. It is possible to construct a “fence” perpendicular to the shore that leads into the mouth of the M-trap. The fence directs swimming fish into the trap and makes bait more effective.
Great addition!!!
@@TheBearEssentialsman can you build a permanent bushcraft camp❤.. appreciate it😊
Do you mean parallel?
@@steamer2k319 Ive seen fish cruising the shoreline at night, right up against the shore ambushing. I think Doug means the fence comes straight out from the entrance, pointing toward the deeper water. So any fish cruising deeper gets led into that entrance! 100% going to try this in a future video!
I would love to see more videos like this from you, i also never seen the bowdrill technique that actually worked!
Hey sure!! The feedback seems to be pretty good on this video, so maybe I will make another where I go to a spot which actually has some good fish haha.
Can do some catch and cook’s and a different friction fire technique too!
Oooo I LOVE white pine tea! First had it at Genesee Country Village and Museum. I live in the country, surrounded by woods, but haven't found a white pine yet to get more needles, but i haven't tried very hard looking either.
And every time there was a frog, I'm shouting at my phone to you: "FROG LEGS!! FROG LEGS!" When i was a kid, my sisters and i captured several nice bullfrogs and cooked up the legs on a camping trip. Tasted like chicken 😁
Hahahaha!! Frog legs!! Great idea!!!
I think I’ll be doing a longer trip soon and will dive into eating those! I’ve only ever done it once - do you have any good recipe for me?? 😁
@@TheBearEssentials As a matter of fact, YES, yes I do! As a historian, I LOVE old cookbooks. I have a 1909 edition of the Washburn-Crosby Gold Medal Cookbook, acquired thru my hubby's grandmother. On page 29, I have THREE recipes for Frog Legs! Here's the most simple one:
"Frog Legs: The green marsh frogs furnish the best hams, as they are more tender and have less of the strong muddy flavor. They are generally liked fried. Pare off the feet and truss them by inserting the stump along the shin of the other leg. Put them with salt, pepper and lemon juice to steep for an hour, then drain and roll in flour, then in beaten egg and in fine bread crumbs. Fry to a light brown in hot fat. Serve with fried parsley."
Now, here's some other fun stuff: I want you to do a Google search for this: "Henriette Davidis' practical cook book internet archive" (the quotation marks aren't necessary, and yes, that's the way it is spelled, and the last two words are the site the book is located on-the Internet Archive). It should be the first thing that pops up. When you get to this free online historical cookbook (The subtitle should be: "German national cookery for American kitchens : a practical book of the art of cooking as performed in Germany"), go to page 228. And BOOM, you'll have a whole chapter with recipes for Turtle Soup, Snail Soup, Snails in Sauce, Snail Salad, Ragout of Frog Legs, Frog Leg Pie, Roast Badger, Bear's Paws, and even Roast Beaver Tails!!
And may I add, I think your subscribers would love a collab with perhaps a RUclips channel that does wilderness survival and/or wilderness foraging. I remember seeing a PBS series one time of a chef who teamed up with a foraging specialist, and they foraged wild stuff, then the chef made a gourmet meal from it all. It was REALLY unique and interesting. I see there's a channel called The Wooded Beardsman, and it looks like he has killed and cooked some pretty interesting things! I'm sure there are other channels that you might already know of that would be a great fit for that kind of collab, if you were so inclined. In any case, I can't wait to see if you end up cooking something 'interesting' on your next trip, lol!
Modern day Survivor man.
Good vid. ...It isn't necessary to touch everything what will u find. 😉✌
sick
Just my own 2 cents: I'd focus completely on that fire before ever expending energy on fish. If you don't get that fire, you can't cook the fish and you can't rehydrate without the risk of getting sick. That sun moves mighty fast in the sky when daylight is essential to getting something done.
Excellent point! I was (fairly) confident in the bowdrill fire starting! But waaaay more excited for the fishing 😅
Really enjoyed this! Great job!
Note to self: Never put yourself into a position where you could end up stranded on an island with nothing, no supplies
my way is to just always have suplies
Wish this video dropped on Tuesday before I headed out lol I haven't decided what I like more .. learning from your videos or your one-liners! Brother, you crack me up 🤣Great video, thank you for all you do! You are greatly appreciated.
Hahah!! Can’t wait to see your vid brother, and hey, I always throw one or two in there just to keep it from getting tooooo serious 😅
Thanks DJ! Awesome challenge brother!👊🏻👍🏻 Appreciate you ! God Bless 🙏🏻
Fantastic survival video my brother 😊 It's always so easy & joyful learning from you the skills that are needed to make it through an extreme situation. You're a great teacher 🥰 Thanks DJ 😁 Take care 💪🏻
Great video! I should probably add a small tin box to my kit.
Ya! You can use it to make Charcoth too. I sell them with a few items on my site too
Awesome video with real-life scenarios.
wow an actual survival vhallenge without the politics. Nice!
Awesome stuff man. The pitch patch is definitely something I never thought of and I am glad I can now add it to the memory bank
Great vid DJ! It turned out wicked! Hard up on the fish, but that’s the real survival experience! Great job buddy! 👍🏻🎣
Always learning new things from you. Shame you didn't catch a fish but great tip on the old can of pebbles. Look forward to the next one 🙂
Awesome video dood! Love the content!!! Keep it up!
Nice tip on the white pine needles and identification 👍 i learned something new.
I love frog legs especially cooked over a camp fire lol. So I probably would of made a gig/spear when it started getting dark. And then made a little fire torch and commenced to stalking the bull frogs. You can also get worms and use a stick and your fishing line and hook and dangled it in front of them to catch them
I’ve got to try the fishing for frogs trick!!
Any good ways to cook em?
@@TheBearEssentials zatarans Louisiana Cajun fish fry, that is the best breading to fry them in that I've found in stores. Some people online have some really good recipes to mix up for breading them in but if you want minimal effort and good taste the Louisiana Cajun fish fry breading is the best to me
You rock, dude! Can’t wait to buy a bucksaw
Great job showing us how to make it overnight on an island, without a Fire steel, and make repairs to a canoe leak. Thanks for cutting the video down to a reasonable time! I need the Fire steel crutch, so I make sure it’s in the bag.
Cool video! Learned some new stuff.
This was an awesome video. Great job making the most out of a tough situation, and handling it with a positive attitude. It’s also cool to see how much better you are with the bow drill!
from Malaysia.. awesome video
Great watch, it could have been 40 mins longer.. lol very best 🍻
Thank you!!! Will do some more for a few more days and can make them even longer for ya!
You got a fish 🐟 Oh, yeah too big. 🥴
Cool video mate, thanks for the upload. Like how you repaired you canoe.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm glad - and lucky - it worked out!
I learned some stuff that may come in handy one day! Thanks.😊
Nice ❤❤❤
Nice! 👍
you should do more Survival
yeah he should
I will!! More coming up in a few weeks :)
Thank for video
brilliant
Where are you? In Northern Quebec and Ontario, water in lakes is pure, you don't need to boil it. Just stay far enough from the land, in the middle of the lake or river, and you're OK.
Again a very cool video buddy ! very cool to see you on a better weather ! ahah keep safe bro, cheers, see ya !
Eyy thanks a bunch Matt!!!! Hope to get out there with you one time brother!
@@TheBearEssentials Hope too buddy, if bushcraft is still allowed in our countries ? lol
Cool video especially because you started a fire with basically nothing, major props! Though I would have more activity fished that worm if I wanted food. Also, I think the patch would work better from the outside for a long term hold. Maybe add a portion of your shirt with the sap to both sides to secure it in the long term.
Great call!! I think inside and outside would have been the ticket. I only did inside bc I truly had a hard time finding enough of the pitch, and didn’t know if the underwater patch would come off sooner than the above…
If there were paper birch on the island I would have made some birch tar, and used a bit of bark as a patch too.
Good idea with the shirt, never thought of that!
Unless you plan on moving a lot, don't let the fire go out
Woah
I'm here just for knots, but will be interesting to see Bear Grylls vs Bear Essentials 😂
I'm waiting for next.
Pine sap is frequently used by bushwackers to patch holes in a boat, cano ...
Nice techniques! I remember using the pine pitch patch myself, but instead of mixing in black char, I spread the pitch first then hit it with a coating of white ash powder. It creates a pretty smooth hard surface. But it might not have worked in this case because you needed it to be hardened on both sides. I also would have "smoke bathed" before sleeping, hoping that might help keep the bugs away. And why, oh why, didn't you bank your fire instead of going through the bow drill hassle again the next day? Also would have fashioned a makeshift bobber to keep the worm and hook from simply sinking to the bottom. Don't know if that would have made a difference, but there was lots of wood available. I really enjoyed the video and agree it could have been longer and still interesting.
I mean...in my country,this would have several issues/problems.
Everything are soaking wet. Really wet .
And its COLD .
And you can fish for days,with no fish.
Eat able plants , not really ...its to cold .
But ! We will not be to thirsty ,its a lot of water, very clean.
And we dont have many dangerous bugs and critters. (But then again, we wont get a lot of protein from critters either).
Sigh...
Imma bit jealous , about your temperatures, the sources for food , and the easy access .
The intro be reminding me of pirates of the Caribbean
Love your videos. Always learning something useful. Thank you!
Thx for watching Victoria!!!
👍👍
How did you upload this video on a stranded island? How will you keep survival updates without a charger.
The struggle of survival videos:
You have to watch til the end to see if I get off the island :)
@@TheBearEssentials Did you live?!
@@Literature-ft8ru sadly...dead
@@TheBearEssentials 😱
When you took the worm, the salamander lost the dinner it had stashed for later 😢
Where is this? Looks EXACTLY as where I live.
awesome, but why didnt you run the fire all night?
item #4 always with me....Duct tape
Honestly that’s a great call. I bet it would have done well to patch that canoe too tbh
Thank you for sharing the video we enjoyed watching you use the bow drill fire outstanding survival skill
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!
Letsgoooooooooo!!!!
Throw some mint leaves in your water for tea.
I did!! You didn’t watch it all, did you? 🤣
So would that tiny fish actually be edible? Say you had to stay more time, how would you prepare it? Or is something that small better used as just bait?
Mm not really worth it to eat that tiny guy. If you had a whole bunch, maybe. And yes it’s edible but truly not really worth it.
If you had a bunch, maybe, but I would have opted to use it as bait and try to get crayfish or brook trout!
@@TheBearEssentials awesome, thanks for the info!
Frog leggs taste like chicken!
Is there tree sap you can burn to create a seal for the hole in your boat? Or is that only with special tree sap?
Pretty much, the sap is sort of the viscous part - it’s the pitch that is more solidified that makes better “glue” when combined with charcoal or best case scenario- animal fat
@@TheBearEssentials WOW
9:48 Should we show him doctor ear excavation videospulling outallsorts of critters hidding inside the ears? OOF
Entertaining with some good info thereinl
🤔 However, why would one want to end up on an island with only three items? 😏.
How much did you get paid Chattanooga Tennessee?
an unplanned video this time I guess, did you fix up your canoe, that was a pretty big hole
I tried rubbing those leaves on me until I noticed it was poison ivy 😳
SOLO.. so who is the cameraman ?
Me, it’s all self filmed !
Bear uploads pause life
A foot of flex tape carries better than a roll of duct tape and has a stronger bond almost permanent
That’s a great call!!
Flexseal?
@@TheBearEssentials No......The same company flex seal makes a tape sold right next to it. Flex tape sold in a roll at Walmart,.. anywhere.. About 6ins wide? Dif colors. Cut a foot section and put it in kit. Cut sections of that piece for a longer repair or use whole foot long piece. It's got a gooey sticky adhesive and a plastic outer side making it waterproof. Careful not to fold it together you cannot pull it apart. Perfect for the canoe repair it'll stick to anything including itself and you can apply it underwater. It's not that thick but used like duct tape it works better, duct tape never holds. You can macgyver it, I used it around a leaky horizon pipe in a basement. Put a flex tape patch over the hole to seal it, cut open a soda can and used the flat aluminum can side as a small patch for strength, cut a larger 2nd tape patch put it over the 1st tape and aluminum patch by an inch or two all sides. It was a permanent fix

The camera just happened to be set up as he came ashore in his sinking canoe.
Wouldn’t be a good video if I couldn’t provide the laugh at the beginning :)
Nicely done! I'm now hungry... :)
Food is a major need. Hopefully next time you get enough to sustain you (remember, foraging can sometimes provide some food surprises!)
Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely, in Labrador I went 9 straight days, covering 80km with a 60lbs pack before getting any food at all! You can last a long time without. About a month, even more if your idle.
Thx for the watch!
Who else thought this was AI Joe Rogan?
Bullfrog is good eating.
Why did you let the fire go out
My bowdrill kit was very solid. Had a lot of confidence in it and didn’t “need” a fire
👌👍
Can anyone please tell me what he has around his neck? 13:54
Hey that’s a mount to put the action cam around my neck to get the POV shots.
Find a water source? Really?
How would you purify water in this scenario?
You did pretty well
- someone who did the same thing on minecraft
A couple of those bull frogs would have made a fine meal. Maybe even enough to give you strength to swim the short distance to the other bank and walk to the truck. LOL
Fishing line and hooks but no lighter or ferro rod? Interesting.
It was a planned challenge :) and I wanted to get my canoe back instead of ditching it ofcourse. 😁
@@TheBearEssentials I still would have eaten the bull frogs. LOL
@@user-mx5dr5gj1egood call!! Any favourite recipe’s for em?? Next time I will.
@@TheBearEssentials My wife does most of the cooking but I think she just fries them.
first?? also awesome video
Visions of Michael Scott from The office in the woods “surviving” in his office clothes
Spent a day working on so many stuff that some wer not even successful, wasted time and energy. If he spent his energy and time on the canoe on the get go he would have been already home on the first day uploading a short on how to fix a canoe.
Would have made a pretty lame video and no one would have learned anything lol 😂 my channel is education and entertainment mixed.
@@TheBearEssentials Im just saying you put up a title that says survival but its actually scripted. maybe just put up a title that says camping practicing bushcraft skills or something. Dont get me wrong i like your vids and they are educational but this video is just not working for a survival video. very entertaining though
Dude, I love your content but your thumbnail picture is very awkward.
Lmao get your mind out of the gutter
