      I think Connie is key to Lonnie surviving😂! Watch the videos with Connie cooking meals! You’ll never go hungry with her around. Now if only Lonnie would tell us where we all can get a Connie!!!!

    I keep a Tuffy type shovel in my car every winter, you never know. I also keep a heavy wool horse blanket and some bottled water and a few pairs of gloves and hats in my car and often extra footwear with socks stuffed in them. I'm not even in the country, I am in the suburbs of New York and I also have a few jump starting batteries that'll also charge the phone. Yes, my car seems messy with all that stuff, but it's like muscle memory to me. If you always have it, your never without it. Of course I also have a knife, multi tool and a folding saw under my seat too

    I must say you’re a good and natural actor. And your wife does a great job on camera. Looks like you had a good, if somewhat sleepless, night out there in the ditch.

    @johngreen4067 7 лет назад +71

    The shelter is great. Thanks for sharing. But, more than the quick camp, the lesson that I got from you this morning is to think through the situation, find your best options, and not panic.
    Thank you both for your advice and inspiration.

    My son and I always enjoy your videos. It's amazing how easy it is to get hypothermia if your not prepared. Keep the videos coming. We don't have broadcast television in our home, so you are a constant source of information and entertainment for us. Thank you

    Lonnie: I am 66 years young, live in Florida and I hunt and spend a lot of time in the woods. I would like to thant this opportunity to thank you. You go out of our way to provide fantastic instruction on many topics of vital importance to know in your climate and many of them are applicable even in my area. Your patient, calm, direct and easy to understand instruction is very well presented. If I ever decided to move to similar climate as yours, I would review may of your videos that I have saved. Thank you for taking the time to teach. A wise man once said the best lessons in life lie at the feet of a more experienced man!! Thanks again for all you do.

  • @MySelfReliance
    @MySelfReliance 7 лет назад +8

    Nice shelter Lonnie. That scenario is probably the number one cause of a short term survival situation here - that and casual hunters getting lost. As you say, the trick is to stay calm and think

  • @tomknight1902
    @tomknight1902 7 лет назад

    No matter what mood I am in, your videos are a breath of fresh air. I would watch a 24 hr live marathon on about anything you do! Thanks Lonnie for brightening my day up! You really should do daily videos, if at all possible. I for one would thoroughly enjoy them! Wear a Go Pro cam all day!

  • @TT-go2gv
    @TT-go2gv 5 лет назад +2

    Good video. I give it a BIG thumbs-up. If anyone thinks about going for a ride on a machine into the back country, always prepare for that same machine to quit on you and prepare accordingly. If you don't have the assurance that you can get yourself out on foot, don't go and please don't ever think about taking your kids in the back country unless you have at least 2 sleds and the knowledge (and gear) to survive if both of them broke down.

    • @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival
      @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival  5 лет назад

      I agree. My wife and I just returned from a two week snow machine trip to our remote Alaskan cabin. I made sure that I had my survival pack on my person along with two snow machines and plenty of fuel.

  • @tikiduck
    @tikiduck 7 лет назад +33

    I always bring along a few big heavy duty trash bags. Take up no space or weight and can save your bacon out on the trail as a tarp, poncho, wind break and numerous other things.

    • @ODucks55
      @ODucks55 5 лет назад +4

      I would add that black garbage bags would be better in that it would absorb heat from the sun to keep warm. As opposed to clear or white bags.

    I have learned something from your video and that is having a snow shovel with me if in a very cold area and I should have known this since I lived in Michigan for awhile. I keep what I need here in Arkansas to get by, but went to Michigan in 2014 without some of what I would need to survive if my vehicle broke down. I said that I would not do that again.

  • @TippyMueller
    @TippyMueller 7 лет назад +1

    Always a pleasure to see your survival videos even though I live in the Sonoran Desert of Phoenix, Arizona. You'd think that living in a city of over 5 million people that survival methods would not be much of an issue. I'm 66 and I was born and raised here so I've heard so many sad stories of people who have unwittingly gotten themselves into a survival situation. Water and extreme heat are the dangers. We ALWAYS carry water in our vehicle. We freeze water bottles and keep them in an ice chest all year long especially in the summer. Experts say to stay with your vehicle if stuck, because rescuers always find your car first which is easy to spot from the air. People who migrate to this area don't really realize the dangers. But, you are right. We need to educate ourselves on how to survive if need be where ever we live.

  • @davidharvey5672
    @davidharvey5672 6 лет назад

    I have been watching RUclips on my big TV. Your videos look great so good work Connie and thanks. Here in England the need for these things is non existent with 65 million people on this tiny island you're never far from another human being. The curious thing is that I, and many others seem to somehow instinctively collect these lessons like there's something deep in our psyche telling us to. Thankyou both.

    Excellent video and great job of explaining radiant heat and the importance of simply getting out of the wind. That IS shelter, immediate, life-saving shelter when it is cold. No roof needed! Being an ice-fisherman and 'outdoorsman' regardless of weather I appreciate very much the advantage of a simple wind-block and radiant heat of a fire...Thanks for sharing a very important video!

  • @fredthorne9692
    @fredthorne9692 7 лет назад

    The only thing that would frighten me more would be to be alone, 100 miles off the Altlantic coast (or any coast) fishing, and have the same scenario crop up. Satellite phone, or transponder, never leave home without them.
    Great depiction, great scenario, excellent remedy! I'm going to check everything twice.

  • @TBI-Firefighter-451
    @TBI-Firefighter-451 5 лет назад

    I always carry some of my gear in a 5 gal plastic bucket that also makes a chair, step stool, Snow Block Maker, water bucket, wash basin, Privy and more. Nice thing about Root Wads is the Pitch Wood Roots for a nice warm fire. I always carry extra gas even on short trips - 2 liter pop bottles make great fuel jugs that are easy to carry inside my 5 gallon bucket, better safe than sorry is my Motto!

  • @CplSkiUSMC

    You forgot to mention how amazing those spruce boughs smell. In a crappy situation, that delightful pine fragrance is soothing to the nerves and makes a frigid night in the bush just a little bit warmer.

      I have since started using a paracord loop over the outside of the rubber that covers the toe area as that strengthens the toe holding area resulting in less rip-out of the rubber in that area.

Canada always was a place I thought of when I was young. But wouldn't think about moving their now days. You see I'm not chanting any of the garbage coming out of your mouth and you and idiots like you that invaded and ruined Canada is the reason Canada doesn't appeal to me anymore. You can have it.

    That was one heck of a realistic enactment; you might have a future in Hollywood; at least in an upcoming epic outdoors type movie.

    • @BossRedRanger
      @BossRedRanger 7 лет назад +15

      Randall Flagg That's a huge lie. Les Stroud produced his Survivorman concept almost a decade before Grylls. He's ALONE during filming, carries and films himself, and offers prudent survival strategies. He often fails in his excursions which demonstrates reality and authenticity.
      Unlike Grylls, he doesn't sleep in hotels, run wildly, consume excrement, or promote mechanical injury.
      You're completely off base about Les Stroud.

He'd have struggled in that snow. Stout fella. He'd talk a glass eye to sleep. Must see if a Ferro Rod is worth having next. Top Bannanna. Good to see a survivalist vloger actually out there in it.
