The other day, I was walking with my two dog buds, when all of a sudden they exited stage right, game on. Fifty gigantic elk walked quickly into a clearing, stopped and looked back. Here came the hounds, who ran right up to the herd. They all stood there for a minute or two looking at each other. Then, the elk casually walked up the mountain and the dudes trotted back. It's all about the chase. Happy trails, my friend.
another great video donny.all my 4 grandson's watch your video's .we canp out and try all the thing's you do.their time spent with me is so filled with memorie's and a lot of that is down to you.thank you so mutch brother.wishing you all the luck i can.stay safe.peace out my friend.
If I was to do same shelter setup where I live at in Arkansas. Good chance their would be a rattlesnake or copperhead in the root ball. And a bonus would be the ticks chiggers and mosquitoes, that would be in the pine needles lol
Two questions for you Donny: Has Finn ever alerted you to anything spooky? Like animals or people sniffing around your camp at night or anything like that? And second, have you ever been or considered doing any camping up in northern Wisconsin? The area around the end of the peninsula can be pretty cool. Lots of little lakes, islands, cliffs, forests and such. I've only been up there a few times when I was a kid, but it seems like a cool place to do some survival camping stuff, and I don't really see or hear people talk about it much. [EDIT] I typed that before finishing the video. I guess I got the answer to that first question. 😄
Hahaha. No worries. He’s pretty alert and on top of things. He’s a good companion. I would absolutely head that direction. I’m sure there are plenty of resources and fishing opportunities.
Building a solid shelter that'll keep you warm and protected from the elements is probably one of the most important things that you should build if you are in bush because exposure to the elements can and will kill you if you're exposed to them for too long,so that's why decent solid shelter is most important thing out there, Great video All the best
Thanks Donny. Every time I watch one of your videos that are outdoors, makes me think that it may be time to get a dog again, haven’t had one in a very long time. 🤙🏻
Hey Donny, glad to see our buddy, Finn, again. What smart, simple shelter. Using the bark to provide cover from the rain/layer of insulation and the stones to sturdy things up are things I will try. Helps to keep bugs out? Going to give it a try.
I like how he stays rather primitive. A tarp would’ve done for an impromptu shelter, but it’s the minimalist aspect yes. I love the cutting tool! I’m subscribing today. Thanks!! 👍👍😁🇺🇸
You seem like an incredible dog owner. That dog has a great life getting to go have these experiences with someone who respects their companion. Love your videos
I had to laugh at the "and don't take it in the middle of the night, either" 😂 Couple great things about the quickie shelters, if you do need to build something longterm, they'll keep you out of the weather until the bigger work is done. And, they're quick to repair and replenish as needed. Looks like that caribou hide is basically sized for your torso?
Been watching your content for a long time your amazing! Always learning something new in case I do get stranded. Whether I be able do it or not not sure lol. Your content always reminds me of survivor man. Used watch that show alot
Another awesome vid, brotha and thx for all that you do. Mean that. Also a little off topic but since it's on mind could you do a vid of you going over your tattoos? They're all unique and I'm looking for inspiration to add on myself. Have a great day m8 and thx again. Take care
I wish I could trust my dogs that much..to fall asleep and not leash them up at night... But I dont know of any Ibizan that can be trusted THAT much..lol Kudos to your relationship and training skills!
I carry a 1 lb net hammock, a couple of 1/2 lb each camo nets a couple of 1/4 lb each full-body bugnet "suits" a 1.5 lb reflective tyvek bivy, a lb of drum-liners, stakes, cordage, and I can sleep just fine at 34F, in wind and rain, in just cammies, balaclava, gloves, unlaced shes, 3 pairs of sock liners, and shemagh. I can set all of that up in a very few minutes. I can get down to 20F with some dry debris to mix in with my other gear and I can get 10F degrees colder with either hot rocks/water-bottles inside of the bivy, or about as much debris as he uses for bedding, between my bivy and the 2 drum-liners that serve as an "envelope" around the bivy. Trapped AIR is what insulates you, folks. So there can be no air leaks of the bivy or the envelope. Use a light to look for them and tape them if you find any. Pull a ridgeline and the hammock thru the bivy and attach another separate ridgeline to the outside of the envelope. I can feed myself with the 50x10ft, 2" mesh monofilament gillnet that I made into a hammock and the bugnet suits are of course very handy in hot weather. The camo nets have other uses, too. I use a buttpack and a daypack to carry my stuff. At night, I empty out the packs, stuff them with debris and use them as sleeping pads, normally up in the hammock. If it's cold,, I hang the hammock about 6" off of the ground, with me in it. I kick debris under the hammock so as to stop air from flowing under me.
Good evening. First video of yours I have ever seen so impressive. Definitely someone I would like to be more like and learn from. Serious question from a city slicker. How do you prepare for/look out for/defend from/ not have fear of snakes and harmful bugs or spiders? Like in this video, I didn’t think about the rocks in the roots… but I was more like “how does he know there isn’t a snake down there going to bite as he clears it out or poisonous bug going to get on him at night. If I could over come this, I would definitely start camping. (Live in Texas, if that changes things). Thanks!
I hope I can contribute with something. In that rocky environment, I'd be looking for holes, tracks, feces, and other signs of natural threats at the spot. In other environments, such as rainforests, one must consider not sleeping on the ground, even with a thermic layer protection, because the problem there are all sorts on insects, spiders, and reptiles, among other things, that move around. Better having a suspended wood platform, or a hammock.
I really want to get into bushcraft, and wilderness survival. However, all of the knowledge that you need, that that comes with time is incredibly daunting. Do you have any guidance to give on speeding up the process of learning what plants, trees, herbs, etc can be used for what? Additionally is there any other tips or things that are important, or that you wish you knew sooner?
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks Ah that was going to be my guess lol! I have a Husky/Lab mix and he looks similar but you can see the squareness of the pitbull features. Beautiful dog! great videos!
If were talking bout caleries burned, how was this necessary? Sleeping under that same downed tree with maybe the pine needlees wouldve done the same for you
this is way too much trouble. Lots of areas lack such materials, or they are soaking wet, covered with snow,, etc. I dont want to spend half of my day making a shelter and then have to return to that shelter. My 5 lbs of sleep/shelter gear lets me just set up wherever I want to stop for the night.. Depending upon how I deploy my gear, I can handled 100F down to 30F without any debris. With debris, I can get down to 10F and with a fire, I can handle 0F, without having to bother with the massive amounts of debris needed to fill the area between the bivy and its "envelope".
@lorikurasz9299 it used to be🤷 not sure why that would ever change with this fact known. Almost like it was designed for that purpose. And many more. Silver mesh is something all should have even wire alone. Just a slight current makes it 100% antibacterial. It's faster than gold that's why all military grade tech uses it as well. The expensive stuff. Silver is priceless to me
i know you are a dog person, but what would make you into a cat person? would it be if you stored grains or scrolls that were subject to rats and mice? does that make sense?
Cleaning your teeth is actually easier than it looks. Get a fibrous stick and chew one end until it develops bristles (similar to a toothbrush, what a surprise) and rub charcoal on the bristled end, then use it as a toothbrush. It's not perfect and you'll still probably have to scrape some plaque off of your teeth with your nails, but it's better than nothing and helps a surprising amount.

I'm confident that every sasquatch sighting is just Donny running around naked in the woods. Great video as always
Hahaha. I’m not that Harry.
That's not possible. He sews himself into his clothing, like a real wilderness survival guy. At least I assume he does. That's what I do.
@@sonicplanet9193 Indeed but what about after the cameras are off 🤔
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTrackshaha 😂😂😂 Donny your bond spoon is ready
I love this kind of content.
Donny doesn’t build shelters, the forest sees him coming and builds one for him. Donny Dustisms!
Loved how you utilized Birch bark for shingles on the outside of the shelter.
Thanks. It’s actually aspen bark. Both look very similar. Appreciate you watching!

Nothing more wholesome than a human and their dog just making tracks and creating adventures.👍

Thanks 👍 it’s good to go. With any inclement weather I would lay my bark shingles differently, but for clear skies and one night….no issues
cool dog, cool human, cool shelter, cool video. Good work bro, really enjoying your content!
Ok so I'm trying to reply, this dudes video socks he took too long I'm surprised he's still alive his dog could eat em better of

You bet. It was a great adventure and excellent time in the bush.
Thanks for all the great advice Donny! Society is getting crazy and I need to get out for a while at least.
You rock man, looks like an awesome adventure. Wish I was out there;] Cheers bud.

Enjoyed the video.
Do you believe in “forest giants”? Ever seen one? Thanks, jonn

3:16 I laughed out loud.
I wish I could trust my dogs that much..to fall asleep and not leash them up at night...
But I dont know of any Ibizan that can be trusted THAT much..lol
Kudos to your relationship and training skills!
Me imagino que algo así debe ser para alguien que quiera y sepa de supervivencia extrema y de corazón de hierro ❤
As a primitive temporary shelter goes that's pretty righteous. Finn might have a future as a tongue wielding nasopharyngeal dermatologist.
Here's the thing about the bugs that live in your shelter is that you are immune. A normal person would be waking up itching all over.

Damn. I think another day or two, some mud, boughs and maybe some mor birch bark and i think this could be a pretty good long term shelter.

What an amazing dog. Has anything ever attacked him before? He clearly is a bread that can handle his own but not against a pack.
Do u ever have issues with animals messing with u at nite? Do u carry anything for protection at night while asleep?
Donny i know than you have doing this for a long time, and i wanted to ask you, what are some regulations or places than you can legally bushcraft?.
So ur the first person i seen drink without a filter system how do u not get sick using a bone and drinking from the ground ?
@garrickvannoord8711 I came to the comments to see if this exact question was answered. Not finding an answer yet.
Using that bone as a straw...I prob would've just sucked the water but hey whatever floats your boat lol
Haha. I hear you. It worked but tastes nasty!!!
