The author asked what we thought was most interesting, and to me it is that good folks leave cabins stocked with food and fuel to save lost people. When these folks come to visit and restock their cabin, instead of showing up and swearing that some jerk broke in, they arrive and say "God Bless, I think I saved somebody's ass." I love that.
I live in very remote Alaska and I absolutely know this man was very very fortunate. To accomplish this journey in the summer would have been difficult but in the Alaskan winter.........
It's amazing what people can accomplish, especially in such challenging conditions! The Alaskan winter is no joke, and this journey truly shows the strength and resilience of those who take it on.
I love these stories too, they inspire me to keep on in life no matter what the personal struggles are! Thank you for sharing these stories of great courage!
Leon Crane was not a woodsman. He was very innovative and did not give up. Read his story in the book, 81 Days Below Zero. Or read his story in the book, Coming Into the Country, by John McPhee.
Here is how it works in Alaska. I’m from Alaska and live in a remote cabin. Cabins are often left unlocked with supplies and even precut firewood ready for a quick warming wood stove. It’s understood that individuals can become lost or stranded and without food and shelter not last very long. Alaskan tradition has always been an open home, food and warm stove to any who might be in such need. I once returned to my cabin after some time away and found a note of gratitude from a couple who took shelter there, absolutely nothing had been disturbed except a small portion of food and use of my generator.
The Germans were faced with similar conditions of biting cold during WW2 on the Russian Steppe. It was generally well known that if you slept outside, you would die (of the cold). It was therefore essential to find a dwelling near the end of the day to take shelter to avoid being frozen to death. When lighting a fire, ALWAYS use dead wood from fir trees. Use live wood and you will die, as it will not support a flame. Watch for wolves, either singly or in a pack!
@@LaHayeSaint yes. I see. but Germans came in Russia intentionally. and they expected hot winter. in alaska they accidentally fall down. and they had very good winter jackets.
None of the aircraft shown at the beginning was actually a Consolidated B-24 ‘Liberator’…..Great narration and a well researched story…..Terrible fete to suffer….Feel so sorry for the rest of the Liberator’s crew, those poor, brave young men who perished in the crash….And of course, the other chap who bailed out and failed to make it….An incredible tale of survival against all the odds!…..Greetings from England…❤🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸❤
Thank so you much for your great comment and support! Yes, you’re right. As we, mostly for legal reasons, don’t show the actual images the aircrafts are different. However, we keep your great advice in mind for our next videos and try to use better footage 👍
@@epicsurvivalstories No worries…I’m glad you liked my comment….You can show any images of any B-24 Liberator, maybe not the actual aircraft involved, but nothing says you can’t show “a” B-24 Liberator….Especially as that’s the aircraft type involved…Just a small tip….There’s NO “S” in Aircraft…It’s both singular and plural!
None of the area shown at the beginning was actually alaska. so exciting. unbelievable. survival story . sitting inside cabin. with food and heat. and what a voice!!! so dramatic.
New subscriber to your channel. I really enjoy true survival stories of any sort. I do ,however , get irritated with the Mountain Climber misadventures because they seem so self absorbed and seem to only be concerned with themselves and just saying they did Everest , Mount McKinley, etc etc. Seems like pilots are put at risk to drop them a survivor cable off a steep ledge and other Search and Rescue personnel that have to climb in horrid conditions to search for these fools that thought they had more skill and experience than they really actually did. The just irritate me with their self absorbed selfish thrill seeking attitudes. Does anyone else feel that way? Maybe it's just me . Thank you for the great story ! Please share more when you are able to do so ! Thank You !
@@epicsurvivalstories anything above about 60 degrees to me is like walking into an oven, I do like hot baths but only for a few minutes but I love to jump into freezing lakes while in the nude of course to avoid the frost on clothing
@@epicsurvivalstories for most people 50 degrees feels more like about 20, for say a person in Australia who sees cold weather by traveling out of country someone who are not tolerant of cold, however for me in underwear, a 32 degree wind-chill feels only like about 50 in my mind due to my lifestyle and area I live winter is flat out dangerous due to lots of snow
I never understand why when flying in wilderness, survival supplies are never stowed in planes. Food blankets, small axes. And anything else that would make chances of survival better.
A Song to get you through.. 3 days 3 nights i sailed the sea i think of Girl Constantly i dream shes there i smell the Rose in her Hair Loui Loui we gotta go now we gotta go i'll never leave her from my arms again
You want an awesome story to tell. Tell the story of Albert Johnson Canadas most notorious police officer killer of the Northwest Territories and the Yukon.
If the crash site was still burnin id deff had walked to the crash site n tries to stay next to or as.close to the warmth of the fire as long as i could for as long as i could
If by some chance this all happened this way, the only sense i get out of the cabins, is they belonged to a hunter ,i find it far fetched it just happened stocked cabins in Alaska 😂 wow talk about luck of the Irish
Impossible to survive … then how did he survive… it not impossible obviously…. As long as you can make a fire you can survive almost anything and anywhere….
Gee he had a gun and didn’t hunt to survive… how stupid is the guy… you don’t burn up your food without trying to hunt for more food… so this guy didn’t know crap in survival… what does the military actually teach you.. obviously not how to survive…
@@sharzadgabbai4408 you hang food up … and the animals will come…. They smell up to 2 miles away….. get a good smell in the air .. and wait ….. why are you told to hang your food in a tree… so the animals don’t get to it….. duh….
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. In my mind, the cabins made it easier, but it was still a brutal time in the wilderness, with long walks outside the cabins and a lot of uncertainty.

Just subscribed. This guy was clearly a woodsman. He was also very lucky. Cabin after Cabin 😮
Leon Crane was not a woodsman. He was very innovative and did not give up. Read his story in the book, 81 Days Below Zero. Or read his story in the book, Coming Into the Country, by John McPhee.
Thanks for your support and subscribing! It was a great combination of luck and resilience that made him surviving.
@@mattsweet7918
Thanks for the suggestion
Yes, I was wondering who built and stocked those cabins. I had no idea about the “community” and caring aspect of those cabins.
He wasn’t a woodsman. He was a city boy from Philadelphia
Thank you! Another amazing story!
I'm glad you enjoyed the story! Your support means a lot to me.
People maintaining cabin to help others ❤
Thank you for highlighting this! That's truly heartwarming.

amazing human
Definitely!
Absolutely astonishing
Most of us never push ourselves to see how far we can go. The military helps us to do that.
Absolutely! Thanks for your comment.
Love this channel! 🥇

Great survival advices, thank you for sharing those (y)
The Germans wanted to come in Russia and they came in Russia. what they expect? hot whether ?
@@epicsurvivalstories ❤❤❤❤
@@eliotness4029 My comment drew parallels between the winter conditions of the Russian steppe and the Alaskan wilderness.
@@LaHayeSaint yes. I see. but Germans came in Russia intentionally. and they expected hot winter. in alaska they accidentally fall down. and they had very good winter jackets.
He was met to survive by our Lord, he was blessed to survive for a reason.❤
Thanks for your comment!
Amazing story, Overall, is more than Awesome. I Love it.

This geezer loves a nice warm cabin doesn't he? Sounds like just a lovely holiday to me.
Wow, what a story. I'm new to the channel, I think I'll enjoy it very much. The illustrations in the story are beautifully done.
Great survival story.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Survival tales can be so inspiring!
Great Video once again! I bet the person making these videos is really cool ;)
Oh, you bet! The coolness factor is off the charts - just ask my pet goldfish! 🐠

That is incredible.
Thank you very much for your good channel, please tell me what is the name of this man who was rescued
Thank you lucky obe
Wow he found many cabins 😮
Interesting how there are random uninhabited cabins in the middle of nowhere in Alaska stocked with supplies 😅
Yes, absolutely crazy but obviously for a good reason...
He survived because he found those cabins.
They were definitely a key part in his survival! But without his resilience and determination even the cabins wouldn't have been enough...

😢 crashed i hope God was w/him
I could not survive in a hot desert environment....however cold weather is something I'm very experienced with
It's interesting how we all have different strengths! I'm sure you could use your skills in the desert as well..

This guy’s the Goldilocks of Survival Huts.
I'll be staying in that first cabin
Did he get some one to go back and replenish the supplies in the cabins
Good question. I think the answer to that was nowhere shared.
Tzats amazoning!
I'm glad you think so! It's always exciting to share amazing content with everyone.
I spent two days one night survival school basic training.
That's amazing, how did you like it?
I live at that place for 3 years
Sounds like a survival story for this channel ;)
The plane pictured was not a B-24..
Thank you for your feedback. We'll take that into account for future videos.
❤🎉
Thank you for your support!
Im surprised he didnt encounter a bigfoot ...😊 God mustve kept him safe ...❤ God is so good b cuz we r his creation ❤
I never understand why when flying in wilderness, survival supplies are never stowed in planes.
Food blankets, small axes. And anything else that would make chances of survival better.
They just don't expect to go down, I guess. A small change could help so much!
The B24 had variabke pitch propellors. A starbiard engine teversed pitchfrom a defect
And put the aircraft into a flat spin
Thanks for the feedback! We'll take it into account for future videos.
Terrific story, well told. (Just a little too much drama in the telling)
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!
How did the cans of food not freeze and burst?
Keeping them in your jacket and using your body heat when on the move. Indoors it can be 30-40 degrees warmer than outside
I think I would have stayed at the first cabin
@johnryan-gr8bs, and you would've perished in that 1st cabin. The supplies were running out there.
🎉im so captivated by the story of person who comments thats as city boy he cant last a day in wilderness being terrified of a cockcroach
Unfortunaly the "cockcroach story" doesn't qualify to make a video about it :D
he should of whistled to call his horse
Bla bla bla
Wow i lived almost the same situation the only difrence is that i lived it in the jungels of central america
A Song to get you through.. 3 days 3 nights i sailed the sea i think of Girl Constantly i dream shes there i smell the Rose in her Hair Loui Loui we gotta go now we gotta go i'll never leave her from my arms again
It would have been better with reenactment video.
Thanks for your feedback!
🆒😎👍
Thanks for your support!
I'm a city boy , i freak out when I see a cockroach , wouldn't survive one night !
Haha, I get you! Those little guys can really freak you out! City life can be wild like that!
You might be surprised by your abilities if you wound up in a similar situation. Never give up.
Never too late to start learning skills needed for survival
Ahhh, you would do better mate
Why are WW2 bomber crewmen using ram air parachutes? Come on guys, details matter.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll take this into account in future videos.
Wanted to live
Definitely!
I love your drawings 🛖
Thank you so much! Your feedback means a lot
You want an awesome story to tell. Tell the story of Albert Johnson Canadas most notorious police officer killer of the Northwest Territories and the Yukon.
THank you for your suggestion, we will look into his story and see if it fits to our channel!
If the crash site was still burnin id deff had walked to the crash site n tries to stay next to or as.close to the warmth of the fire as long as i could for as long as i could
Great story, but the AI art is a bit much.
I probably would’ve just stayed in the first cabin and lived out my time there.
Who knows if somebody would find you there soon enough...
I’ve lit a fire in the rain with wet leaves … try to figure that one out …
If by some chance this all happened this way, the only sense i get out of the cabins, is they belonged to a hunter ,i find it far fetched it just happened stocked cabins in Alaska 😂 wow talk about luck of the Irish

Impossible to survive … then how did he survive… it not impossible obviously…. As long as you can make a fire you can survive almost anything and anywhere….
That's right! This is what we aim to show with our survival stories. Humans are able to survive much more than most people think.
Gee he had a gun and didn’t hunt to survive… how stupid is the guy… you don’t burn up your food without trying to hunt for more food… so this guy didn’t know crap in survival… what does the military actually teach you.. obviously not how to survive…
You ever ‘hunt’ in Alaska? I have. Large stretches of winter lands have very little game
@@sharzadgabbai4408 you hang food up … and the animals will come…. They smell up to 2 miles away….. get a good smell in the air .. and wait ….. why are you told to hang your food in a tree… so the animals don’t get to it….. duh….
This is a very short narration of his experience, He did find a gun in the first cabin. Read the book written about this also.
Read the book about this. He did hunt and shot small game.
Not sure if find a multiple cabins food and guns qualifies as brutal but OK.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. In my mind, the cabins made it easier, but it was still a brutal time in the wilderness, with long walks outside the cabins and a lot of uncertainty.
Try it yourself
2:53 what did he burn all night? Wasn't everything wet and cold?
So a USAF plane goes down and they bother to even look for it
USCG airstation Kodisk. You may want to research how diffiy SAR is in peacetime, let slone during a war
Read the book written about this. They did look for them. The pilot flew miles out of the test range area is why the search failed.
