Solo Survival part 2: How to Survive Alone in the Wilderness for 1 week --Eastern Woodlands
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июн 2016
- In this video (part one and two) I go into the wilderness of North Eastern North America with only a knife and live off the land for a week. I document many of the crucial steps and tips and tricks that I do to survive in the forest. Skills shown are shelter, primitive fire, bark containers, water purification, fishing, weaving natural rope, bark shelters, trapping, edible plants, baskets, primitive cooking, fish traps....and tons more.

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.
*Tom:* Make sure you use bone as your trigger so it doesn’t bind with the wood.
*Me, munching on cheetos and drinking soda* : Smart. This guy deserves to survive.

I love your videos! I was honestly surprised though about this series that you never mentioned 2 CRITICAL things and how to deal with them. 1. Chiggers. When you pile all of those leaves in your hooch, you are bound to get ticks and chiggers. Those can sicken you with "Rocky Mountain Spottted Feaver" and/or Lime Disease. In the Army I was taught never to pile leaves as insulation without first "smoking" them to get rid of those bugs and others like the brown recluse spider (which have a tissue destroying bite). But maybe you know some better technique and just didn't mention it. 2. Poison ivy, oak, and sumac. These plants can bring you hell by bringing itching and puss weeping boils all over your skin just from touching and handling them. In the Eastern Northwoods like the Appalachian they are EVERYWHERE and I would NEVER go barefooted. Anyway, just thought I would pass this along in case you had not learned about those concerns. We can all learn from each other. Keep up the great work.
Brother your level of outdoor survival knowledge combined with your low key demeanor and clear and concise way of explaining your thought process, what you're doing and why , is pretty friggin awesome! I just stumbled on this and I am thoroughly impressed and truly inspired. I was wondering where you learned all these amazing survival techniques? I'm totally inspired to follow in your footsteps and take some survival training classes and see how well i could hack it in the wild. Thanks for taking the time to make these amazingly entertaining and informative videos! :-)
If I made it a week not sure I would go back to civilization.
One word:
Winter
@@johnstorton 2 word : is here
Yes, you would definitely go back. Get out of your fantasy, stop dreaming. It is probably hard beyond belief.
You will missed the City😆 lol
He says .."Frogs gave an awesome performance last night"... cable got nothing on nature! 👏
Like a nightmare symphony to me. I'm scared to death of those freaking things. They are seriously evil, their mouth is so big and nasty, and that hop hop hop is str8t out of hell.
clearly you've never tried to sleep with 30 of the buggers right next to your house. my father eventually got so pissed that he was out at 3 am collecting frogs in a bucket and tossing them into a different pond
Finally a guy who does things right and not with 10 ppl and the help or a camera crew!!!!
That Raccoon was laughing his ass off. He's like, "this guy's pretty smart, but you're in my house now! And, thanks for the roasted acorns. We can't figure out that fire thing yet, but we're working on it!"
Yeah, they're pretty smart critters. Maybe they'll get the next shot at civilization after we destroy ourselves.
Well done!
this is so much better than bear grylls, getting kinda sick of all that running jumping and climbing when all i wanna do is to learn how to survive properly.
The recollectioner hey, you gotta learn how to escape the bears and what not🤷🏾♂️😂
Bear grylls teaches u how to find a civilizaition.. He teaches u fast movement and 1 night fast building camp. This guy teaches u how to live|life and stay in the woods, building from step to step. Big difference
If I ever get lost in the wild, I hope I bump into you mate. Great knowledge, great video.
I don't think I've ever watched a part 1 and part 2 video together, without pausing or fast forwarding. Thess videos were so much appreciated. I will tell people about your videos for sure Thank you!
The basket was amazing how you made it
I'm a combat boot guy so bare feet in the woods scream out "injury opportunity" but otherwise this was one of the best real bushcraft survival videos I have seen. Definitely gives me some tips to take away on my own excursions.
Great job!
Cool, thanks very much. Been going out in the woods barefoot since I was a kid so its all good. But i hear you, not for everyone.
This guy really knows what he is doing. If the Apocolypse hits, I want this guy to be my survival leader.
Very impressive. I watched the first part after seeing the video for months now. I am glad I took the time to check it out. What's amazing to me is that you didn't start with an implied or specific mission to use or not use gear. It took me a while before I realized that all you have is your large folding knife and a ton of skills and knowledge. I see this casual, relaxed dude walking around barefoot, simple clothing and providing for all his needs. Brilliant.
i know, its awesome
This was amazing. !!Even though I’m a Grandmother you never know when you might need these great skills. Learning something NEW everyday :)
Love the videos. Straight to the point, sped up where necessary, cool attitude and no drama. Thumbs up!
Im an 11 year old kid who is OBSESSED with survival!! I absolutely love it and when i found these vids I was so happy!!
C and H Professional exactly the same
Same just I'm 12
C and H Professional me too😂
Same I’m 13 and I am doing a week long camp out in the winter
Are you in scouting? I would recommend that if you aren't in it yet. It's a lot of fun, and you do learn a lot of skills. (Including Wilderness Survival.)
Amazing survival skillz, You should publish a book on it.
Super cool! Thank you for your awesome videos!!
hey i know you
yeah! :D
ŞIKANDAR ßAKHT don't u dare
Great series bro. I just learned a bunch of skills I didn't even know I needed. You make it look so easy but we all know that comes from a ton of trial and error and years of knowledge. It pays to know your wild eatables too. I always dream of going out and enjoying nature like this and then I remember how much I like my tarp, sleeping bag/bivy, food and cook kit. LOL. But I always learn a couple things that will help me come back home safe in the event my gear fails. Thanks again for a great video.
He should be on MasterClass
Audition for "alone" on history channel. $500,000 prize for last participant standing
They're amateurs compared to Tom.
Don't you get it ? :) He doesn't need money... he's got pure knowledge...
"I can't spend 12 hours sitting in my debris hut everyday."
Love this channel. Wish there was more primitive survival stuff like this online.
100% agree.
primitive technology is also really good.
+RebelOfDominator yaaas
To much stuff with full equiped rucksack guys making a fire steel fire and speaking of "survival"
Tom has exceptional skills and learning and practicing primitive living skills has definitely got it's place. However, the average person should never enter the wilderness unprepared, and by prepared I mean with shelter, a metal container, at least 3 methods of making fire, a good sturdy fixed blade knife, some way to signal for rescue and some food. The skills Tom is showing here take a lifetime to learn and perfect, and though Tom makes them look very easy, I'm sure he's the first to admit they are not, and in a true survival situation relying on them and failing can be the difference between surviving or not.
pretty awesome video! :)
survival lily i wach all of your vids you are amasing keep the good content up
Survival Lilly I watch your videos u da best
Survival Lilly I watch all your vid they are epic but I never thought I would be able to reply to your comment 😃😃😃😃😃
No she does not
Survival Lilly omg lilie can you do a a video with him
Why you don't have a million subscribers is beyond me! You're truly blessed in the knowledge you share with us!
this guy is living my dream! great work sir :)
Thanks!!
this is my dream too ive wanted to do it since i was 12
This is great. Way better than most shows that were on tv
Just watching makes me need a nap. Do you ever just stop and take a nap??
This is all amazing I need to watch again and take notes!
Very impressive , best survivalist skills I’ve seen yet
This is true survival. No fancy tools just a knife and no camera crew.
I'm motivated by this, to actually get out and live it. I love the format and general presentation, and I'd like to learn more about plant identification. Thank you
I love this! I actually could surr vice in my own back yard because we practically live in the wilderness. I love all of these cool facts and I never knew about all of this cool stuff Awesome video!
If I knew a bit more about weaving fibres and edible plants in my area, I’d totally give this a go.
Tom kicks ass his show is not about surviving in the wild its about actually living in the wild.AWESOME VIDEOS😄😃😀😊☺😉
Sleeping to that ambiance would've been amazing! Soul healing stuff!
I’m a year late seeing these awesome videos. I hope you’re still teaching. There seems to be no limits to your talents.
It's been said before, but I have to say it again : you're awesome ! Seriously... you're richer than most, just by knowing how to survive with absolutely nothing.
That bark basket is on another level.
15:50 Just write GUCCI on the side of that and sell it for $15,000.
literally. Except it's more amazing.
I've learned more from your part one and two video than I have watching other survival videos over the past year.
Pleaaaasssseeee record more
I will, coming in spring.
Tom Mcelroy-Wild Survival YAY I've just found your channel and i can't stop watching your videos
it's spring :D
He should go to alone series on history channel
I enjoyed this more than any survival show I've ever seen.
Absolutely loved the two parts, should do something like this again😀
thanks, either the Desert or Amazon will be next...but not for a while.
The basket was amazing. I wish you showed it put to use. Congratulations on your skills and channel. Very interesting. Subscribed.
It’s amazing how the algorithm brought this channel to me so recently. Interesting times we live in
He does a very good job and actually does what he says he's going to. In the previous video he started his fire with no camera breaks, I was impressed...
He made a whole damn apartment with a view 🤣
i cant agree more, the more i get out the harder it is to go back to the normal every day grind. i really wish i could figure out how to make this a bigger part of my life. i absolutely love it and its my passion but i feel like its just out of reach. thank you for what you do.
The answer is do it! Stop trying to find BS to stop you from doing it.Stop being greedy and learn to make due with just what you really need! We find ways to make more efficient power and morons start consuming 3x what they were,make hybrid cars and then they begin driving the damn things 3x as far as they used to. Clearly it has nothing to do with need, all about greed! Same with this outfit..come let me teach you basic free knowledge I was taught but I have a fee you have to pay for me to show you...you got woods and trees and wildlife...walk out and do it yourself after watching and reading all the FREE knowledge.You dont need these yahoo's to show you how at a price...
i agree. cant argue with that for sure. i definatly get out as often as i can and im trying to do with less. the garden is a big part of that for me at this time
Ive been chased out of every place I tried setting up. Even went deep into Gunpowder State Park and D&N stopped me just as I finished setting up. Every other place is private property and the camp site are full of drunk assholes spaced 20 feet from each other. Unless you are in a state like West Virginia and ask the land owners permission you will not be able to truly enjoy the peace and solitude you are seeking. It's a damn shame too because we all need to just get away some times and this is the best way in my opinion. I'm sick of breathing gas fumes and brake dust. God help us explorers find our place.
Public lands belong to everyone. If more than a very few tried to survive on them like Tom illustrates, the land would be a huge mess. Let's learn Leave No Trace survival skills and continue to protect our public lands. Love the fantasy of 'pure' survival, though, and love watching Tom's videos.
+Tellin DaTruth How did D&N find you if you were deep in the state park? The rangers here in Australia drive between the camping grounds and sometimes check the walking paths but they would never go wandering in the deep bush or forest.
One of the best videos on survival I have found on the net. Job well done.
This is by far the best condensed well explained practical survival skills video on RUclips hands down
Thank you for this :). The info in this is the difference between life and death when the system comes down. Humans are too decadent, most are pure consumers. Times will be hard once the flow of life is damed by technological devolution. People like you will rise above the old kings and queens to reconquer the world. Humans will finally gain back their humanity.
Dont die or give up. Rage rage on into the night.
Great video. Surely one of the most practical survival videos that I have seen teaching you the essentials that an average person can manage.
I enjoy watching your videos more any other survivalist. The way you teach is straight forward and easy to understand. Thanks and blessings to you...
Man, not only do you show us how to survive, your teaching us how to LIVE there as well! Cant believe im just now finding your vids, these are great!
absolutely amazing. I love your work . I really appreciate the demonstration of skill and no emphasis on gear or equipment
This is so cool. These are skills that I thought I would never need to know. If I ever get caught in the wild I’ll think back to this video. Great video, I love it.
Being saw many survivalist experts .. I'd have to say this bloke is .. in a word .. 'efficient'. He is very efficient in his practices and in his undertakings out there. He doesn't try major things out there .. he doesn't get elaborate ... but what he does or makes serves it's purpose and works very well. There is no energy or time wasted. It's just enough to serve..without any mess.. or excess .. It serves it's purpose and then he moves on to the next task (and that is the right way to approach these situations). His calm demeanor also helps him cope. Excellent survivalist.
I watch a lot of these videos, kind of an armchair survival type. You have a way of explaining it, and good advice that goes beyond just the type of "just do this", with you I find there is a do this and why you're going to do it, I'm impressed. Thank you for sharing this.
Awesome video! I like the backpack you made there :)
Thanks for sharing - Martin
I agree thanks you Tom - Jude
Same
Thanks Tom, I've watched pt 1&2 your skills are superb as is the filming & naration. Lot's of info you've shared.
Tommy you're like... my new favorite person. Aka who I want to be like. Great work! Great mentality! Thank you!
Everyone that make survivor videos usually shows you how to make a shelter the things that you are concentrating on are welcomed I hope you continue to show how to survive by making snares traps fishing baskets and other needed skills your videos appreciated
Some of the best info here- some really cool techniques I haven't seen before!
I saw both parts. I would die of hunger and cold after a week while Tom builds a casino next to his three floor house (right next to the fish bistro).
"I'm gonna set this up... hopefully the squirrels aren't watching.." lol.. love it
Been watching survival shows for ever, you are the best by miles!!!
Badass survival video! Professional and informative. In the end you made it look easy! Great job Tom!
I love watching this
Same XD
Connor B woah I'm Connor B too!
Connor B same
I like how you were smart enough to know squirrel were watching
I learned more here then all the time i spent camping. Great video can't wait to make the survival shelter for the first time!
I've always wanted to take a road trip to Cali, I'll have to take your class I love watching these and learning
Nice Video...very infomative..
Thank Mary :)
Over the years I've watched many videos like this but I must say this series was among the BEST, thank you for sharing this!
This guy really is the best.. Do not be fooled by comparing video editing skills. If anything happens, find this guy.
You've got an incredible amount of skills. I learned a lot!
u make it look so freaking easy
This is so cool. Can honestly say you've changed my life with these videos. I'm very interested in learning these skills.
Wow you really know your stuff. I'm 33, ive always loved watching survival shows and I learned a lot from your vids. Thank you for taking the time to make them. You do great work.
Great video’s! Full of tips & tricks and well explained. You’re a pro!
i love these survival videos especially when you time lapse you creating things.
Very concise and articulate....thank you for making a real survival vid
its nice to see a survivalist who knows his edible plants
holy molly i need to go outdoors and feel whats its like to survive !
Very attractive style of life !
May I suggest you get a lavaliere microphone so that the sound doesn't change everytime you are close or far from the camera.
Plus that would be great if you write down some stuff on the editing, like the name of the plantes you ate, or other stuff you used ...
Thanks man !!
Keep it up :-)
I was bummed when your first video was coming to an end but then there was a part 2! Awesome awesome.
Tom, Tom, 18:42 the plane, the plane..lol we're rescued! Just kidding! Great videos. Good knowledge and great teachers.
He just made a backpack out of bark. Amazing!!
These are excellent videos and super duper helpful!! Thank you so much!
Well done, one of the best survival videos I have seen.
I'm only eleven but I learned so much from this video. I have cheap survival equipment but, I use it wisely. I have a axe, knife, flint, steel, sharpening stone, and a hatchet.
Nice! Keep it up. Let me know if you need any help with the things you're learning!
How do you keep your fire running while you're asleep
I bury the coals in the fire-pit by covering them with dirt. The lack of Oxygen makes them burn very slow and they are still glowing red in the morning. After that I just throw some leaves on it and blow it back into a fire. Works great. Ill show you in the next vid. Thanks for watching.
Tom McElroy-Wild Survival Just discover your videos, excellent I must say. Thanks for sharing! Did you later pack the leaves? I would think the rain penetrated through?
wonderful video. I think it was best 'Survival' video I watched on RUclips. I wish I could see more. (from Japan)
Yamakuji Outdoor Life yo I love your country its a cool and techy
Same
You can
Good to see someone with vast knowledge share it on youtube
Awesome video !! I love to learn survival skills. Greetings from Ecuador.
Can you make a survival series pleeeeeeeeaaase!!!
I love your videos it is soooooo informative and entertaining.
17:53 they were looking for you, you didn't even wave your arms.
That bark basket was one of the coolest survival hacks I've seen. Awesome work bro!!
