Camping with Kids, Safety Lesson 1

[mykael82]

great video the kids gonna give you a run for your money in a few years

[Ebonforge]

Outstanding video Dave. I've only just started going through your youtube videos (from oldest to newest) This is by far one of my favorites. I have a young son and he will definitely be getting a drum liner in his personal pack along with his space blanket. He has a few of those hot hands hand warmers in his kit as well for areas too dry for fire. It also gives him the ability to tuck himself in his space blanket with a hand held heater if needed.

[TheW1zard12]

this is camp safety survival 101 for everyone i didnt know any of this till i watched this!

[okiewoodsman]

fantastic video and great lessons. just an idea, one piece of emergency kit i keep in my kids kit is a cheat walmart hunting orange vest. they are small and super visable. number one lesson i tell them is the moment that you notice that you are lost put on your orange and blow your wistle. it would help me to see them in thick cover.

[Zbee167]

Good stuff!

[TheAbuhmann]

james is so lukey

[123JumpingJacks]

This was the best of the vidz I have viewed so far. I actually think this would be great for an adult to use as well. The 50 gallon plastic bag was the fastest shelter I have ever seen built. I can't wait to get out in the woods and teach this stuff to my daughter.

[nutritiousacne99]

I found rvparkandcampingexpert (.) com to be a good source of information on this subject fyi.

[rjknox555]

[FatDaddy4Fun]

5 starz Jamison! Dave...you did alright too. lol. Thanks guys! Pathfinder Power Prevails.

[ColdHaven]

Hi, I am a member of The Survival Podcast and I saw this video (and a few others of yours) there. Excellent videos! Please keep making the videos with your nephew. They give me good ideas to start teaching my children. Thanks for posting this!

[Mecha04]

Your best video so far Dave.  Great job teaching youngsters about the outdoors.

[viewer1a]

I give you great respect for making a video like this to help keep kids safe.

[zaza462]

sham wow? thats not aproprite

[darthwelt]

This is really great to see. I have been teaching my son the same methods since he was 7. Great job Jamison and i'm sure the hard work you did will help many other kids also! Keep it up.

[sheepdogsurvival]

As a scout leader it is great to see other people looking out for are youth. when i go out to refine my kit and skill my son is right at my side every step of the way

[cityboygonewild22]

very good job jamison, it was very nice to learn from you. thanks !

[badphobar]

great

but is that whistle broken, it seemed very quiet.

this is so great for kids.

[mahgnirpme]

Awesome video as always Dave, and good job Jamison, you did amazing! I have 5 nieces and nephews, I'd be interested in knowing what you think a kid should carry for kit, and at what ages you would begin teaching skills such as knife handling and fire making? Keep up the good work guys. Cheers

[muddog1561]

I've got grandkids These video's will do me a lot of good teaching them. And what to get them for equipment.

[Je5e]

good topic dave but might i reccomend a orange trash bag

[blaaskaak666]

It's sad a lot of people don't teach their kids this kind of essential stuff anymore...

[littletobykeith]

awesome video Dave

[rmt0523]

Excellent Job. Great Education for young hikers.

Dave, You Are the Man !! Thanks !!

Jameson, Great Job. You have a Great Uncle.

[MrMiniseb]

wicked shelter

[phokuzbt]

Wow, great job Jameson. You rock Uncle Dave!

[RockyGully]

Good job young fella, great vid old fella!

[kirbyboy75]

lmao sham WOOHOO

[NullSpacio]

this is great. Thanks again Dave.

[slikshot6]

haha i love the second or third time he blows the wistle you hear cop sirens in the backround

[IVOIPSG]

Great Job the two of you...A+++

[denplaza]

Very nice video :)

If I go into the woods with my son I always make sure he is wearing some bright colored clothes. So if he's not capable of helping himself, he can be spot more easily. Camo colors are not a very good choice most of the time and I wonder why people always wear that. It does look cool xD

[MaximumDensity1]

GREAT VID!!!!!

I have a 7yo son that wants to start camping and we love watching your vids together. I can't wait to show him this one.

[luckyjno]

Once, many years ago, as a scout leader, we lost a boy in the western Rockies. He went with his buddy to the top of a ridge and then, he thought, back down the same side. It was, of course, into another small valley. Once they realized they were lost, the boys screamed themselves hoarse, and then tried to find their way back. When we found them, safe but scared, they had walked 10 miles from camp. A whistle, a compass, and some know-how would have saved us all lots of grief.

Good job, Dave.

[Rivieratime]

You are a great guy Dave, for sharing this information with the novices.

It may save someone's life and at the very least it would make someone a little more comfortable, rather than spending a miserable, cold, wet night alone.

Thanks buddy !

[spitism]

hear anything from discovery

oh live da vid

[Wildlife1451]

Another very informative video

[wizardangel]

I learned the hardway on camp roll out after dark ...a fire ant hill launched a full assult on my backpack and myself ...wore spots for 2 weeks at least !!--so it's close to Halloween ,,big organ leaf bagz stock up ...GREAT JOB guys !!

[JERMBUGS]

Great video. I would love to see more how too's for my kids.

[Wolfzarie]

Very nice video Dave! I really liked it.

+ now Jameson's friends think he kicks butt : )

[ChristianBackpackers]

Great Job Jamison!

[kaziklu79]

He blew the whistle and the police came :) :) :)

[scargill8]

Nice one dave, Never knew you were so good with kids

[6badkarma9]

That was Awesome, I can't wait for my son to get home to show him this.

Dave, you may need to get Jameson his own channel :-)

[moodybobby]

5/5

[TheKingdomHasCome]

Excellent! Geat job Dave!

[wolfuntamable]

Great vid Dave! One comment though,

weight/space aside would the reflective blankets you sell not be a better option for kids to carry?

Turned in, it would keep them warm, turned out it turns them into one big shiny ball, which might be easier to spot from the distance.

[wildernessoutfitters]

He has that as well, we speak to that on todays video on improving his shelter and Fire Lesson.

[NEWCLEARDAYS]

good job Jameson...thanks for your time!

[nightblade18m]

BSA should view this video. Great job Jameson!!!

[jjlangness]

Awesome job Jameson and Dave, I hope everyone shares this video with the young ones in their lives.

Jay

[Cragdwella]

Real nice! Great job Jameson ! Keep up the good work.You are fortunate to have an adult that cares about your well being. You will look back at these experiences and be so happy, Thanks

[seanmulhall]

One of the best and benificial videos on Youtube. 5*

[bonneymomma]

5 * brother

[rangemaster1942]

Excellent video, and much needed!

[mrnetcom1]

Well Done

[offramp100]

Good Stuff!

[rooftopeagle]

I'd think for a kid a Orange drum liner would be good to keep him/her even more visible.

[jasonteresab]

I am preparing to go on a 37 mile hike with my son the winter and this vid really made be think about all the things I need to get ready for as well a training my son.

Thank you

[ROBattles]

Good job Jameson :)

Kids should spend more times outdoors, beats watching TV or playing videogames all day.

[ROBattles]

Good job Jameson :)

Kids should spend more times outdoors, beats watching TV or playing videogames all day.

[dreamthinker79]

3's is a standard rescue number...things in sets of 3.

rescuers will also be looking for "perfect", or man maid things, a log triangle for example

[robinkoeman]

Excellent video! All children should know what to do in an emergency situation.

This video definitely deserves 5 stars!

[woodlandcammo27]

Glad you are showing him some real skills and not letting him sit and play videogames all day.

[librano]

Done like a pro Jameson! Wish I knew that much when I was a kid!

[cujomojo2007]

5 stars just for the shelter, like Dave said an orange sheet would be ideal. A survival bag opened out in the same fashion may do the trick, and some kind of foil blanket would be a good addition for when it gets cold, reflective too. Loosing my kids in the woods would be a nightmare, having the piece of mind that they know what to do is immeasurable.

[LUVGODZILLA1ST]

Perfect. Should be required viewing for all kids and parents.

Great potential tool for Forest Service and National Parks. Hope they see it. Thanks Dave.....

[GopanBushcraft]

Great vid Dave 10/5.

[csreeves]

This video made me smile...

...ahhh, Dave, you big softie...using your softer calming voice around the youngster.

Nice work brother

[SALAMISANDWICH]

It is such a joy watching kids go about their business preparing their camping things....showing everything you have taught them!

[RedWhiteandBetrayed]

Great video guys... Keep em coming...

[lightleague]

Great work dudes!

[Stonehombre1]

Dave, excellent video man. I haven't seen too many directed towards kids safety in the wilderness. As usual you are a pioneer. Keep up the great work.

[ArrowDel]

Another thing to help avoid losing your kid while they're wandering, is to have them every so often, blow once on the whistle, wait to the count of 30, if they don't hear a responding whistle (you should have practiced so you can recognize your whistles) they need to start back right then.

[187plumber]

gr8t as always dave and rock on little man way to go good stuff for the young folks out there keep up the good work buddy

[radlations]

that kid looks kinda....weird

[ROFLpwnedvideos]

Nah, just looks a little nervous. Probably camera shy.

[madogalpha1]

Great job guys!

I will be using this information and video with my cub scouts in their survival training. My guys are getting ready to cross over so they will be camping without benefit of mom and dad very soon and I sure don't want any of them to become a statistic. The information you put out is top notch and I will be utilizing more of it. Thanks again.

[PeteSeeker455]

Wow- way to go Dave!! I have a "few" kids around here, and I teach them this stuff, but your live-in-the-woods-lesson here is MUCH appreciated, and will be added to my kids' lessons asap. S P O T O N as usual Brother! Your nephew is a lucky boy to have you in his life (as are his parents). I thank you sir, Pete D.---

[GBlues1]

Very informative, and great video. Thank you to both you Dave and your nephew Jameson. I really appreciate that. I will remember this lesson for when and if I ever have children of my own or ever go camping with the neices and nephews. Very good information on how to find your kids in the wild and what they need to do so that they can be found. Thanks I been wondering how you started to teach your children how to do this stuff at a young age. Very good.

[BushcraftOnFire]

Jamison..

You did a terrific job! Way to go young Bro..

[BushcraftOnFire]

Good job Bro!

I hope many with children will have them watch this.. It's critical that youth SIT and STAY in an emergency situation...

[therealsurvivorman]

Great job Dave your a amazing teacher /I cant wait to see you on discovery

[kumquatsta]

great vid.

with the whistling, is the 3-whistle - 60-second thing a generally accepted practice? also, if one were to hear three whistles, how does one reply/respond with a whistle?

are the chamwows as good as the ads say?

[cattnipp]

Nice vid man, A+

[quartermain1973]

good video Dave ,its nice to see people passing on good info to kids

[desertcamelbak]

NICE SHELTER!

[frogoftoob]

Great stuff ! I l wish I was was took out camping and hiking when I was young. On a side note tho, your hair looks really dark in this video. Is it just the light ? Haircut ? I know my hair is darker after I get it cut. If you dyed your hair I am gonna have to make a joke or two :P

[bigjim379]

Great job Jamieson good tip on jamming the stick into the y of the tree. Listen to Dave he has a lot he can show you. As always Wildernessoutfiters is the best.

[jdupree2197]

great video dave, from someone who carries a seven year old out learning the basics, almost the exact same thing i teach my son..a suggestion is i picked up an orange poncho for $2.99 i think. it says tennessee from the team but it packs in the palm of your hand and it is bright...hard to find orange bags here. also great ingenuity in putting up the shelter. what about a light bungee cord with tarp clips, really like to avoid the sharp stuff here too. again,thanks alot....good job..jason,Al.

[techraven2]

Perfect timing on the whistle and the siren in the distance. :) A really good vid, I've had a hard time working with kids his age becuase I don't slow down enough. Is this going to be the first of many with your nephew?

The only change I might suggest is to spend a little and get an AMK Heatsheet- blaze orange, and it is just a sheet so you don't have to do any modifications. Or find orange/yellow/red can liners, but that can get tricky.

[wildernessoutfitters]

He actually has a Blaze orange Warmers Re-Usable Space Blanket in his larger Kit.

[Darkarch87]

Awesome vid! ... Id love to train with you one on one! He's doing a good job! Liked the shelter, easy and its good he did it all by himself like that. Tell him to keep up the good work! Take care!

[jdupree2197]

great dave, from someone with a seven year old, good practical plans...simple.

[fireeye1973]

Dave this is a great video, not only do you teach your kids how to be prepared when a emergency arises, it is also a fantastic way to spend time with them that will stay with them forever!!! 5 stars

[chrissept21]

nice kid

i allways liked to go camping as a kid

[woodcrafter76]

Jamieson is the man ! I'm proud to call him my friend. Great job!

[LithicWoodsman]

Thanks for the video Dave. It is probably the most important video that you've made.

[survival101ne]

cool kid he can't be more than 2-3 years younger than me he's not doing a bad job tell him tht's the way to do it

[803honda]

excellent video!

wildernessoutfitters is definately one of the best channels on youtube.

[Darkarch87]

definately! totally agree, i second that!!!

[FatzoMcUgly]

definitely!

[mattjmd1986]

Great vid dave! *****

[CheeeezPIC]

Id get a better whistle

[wildernessoutfitters]

It is actually pretty loud, if you noticed it knocked the audio out for a few seconds on the camera.

[CheeeezPIC]

Yeah ... But it didnt seem to have a ball in it like the really loud metal ones do.

[rackasaurus]

You both did a great job. That's good, Dave. Kids need to be taught these things. Especially with the way that they can have a tendency to wander off full of curiosity.

[mrfrogg91]

great vid man excellent advises !!

[elgringote3]

great vid n great timing, taking my son camping in 2 wks

[locke6206]

Awesome info Dave! Thank you and can't wait for this weekend!

[arctxbushman]

Awsome. Jammed a stick in the fork to hold the shelter. I love learning from kids, they allways show you just how much we over think things. Dave please continue the learning with kids, my 10 year old lightbulb finally just went off on what i have been trying to teach him. Thanks brother.

[sutt2014]

Great vid

[SurvivalWithBushcraf]

Great bandana son. I'd like to get one of them for myself. I also like how you precut the bag for him. Great lesson.

[hobbexp]

think so good it be if all kids know this stuff,

[nicko978]

Now if only my nephew would put down the xbox controller for 15 minutes so I could teach him the same way. All he wants to do is learn about the fun stuff like about my guns and knives. Its sad.

[nicko978]

i know some guys i know who have been hiking on trails and up mountains for years now and they still wouldn't know any of these techniques. Good job teaching your kid this stuff!

[daw9y]

that was a great video

[13farseer13]

that kid is pretty awesome!

wish i woulda known that as a kid

[JohnH523]

Great vid!! Thanks Jamieson!!

[petervagt]

where have you cut the trashbag ?

[tekknorat]

cut one side and bottom open, imo

[beast12101]

great job bud, aint nothing wrong with that.

[joninthetoilet]

nice, 5/5 though i kind of disagree about the using a knife, iv used a knife since i was 6, and never got cut very badly. i believe that parents just have to teach their kids to be responsible and safe with them.

[hrwulf]

I believe you are missing the point, Jon. I think what Dave is implying is that under stress the child may not be so careful with a knife. The fear and angst of knowing they are lost may cause them to be rush and accidently hurt themselves. No doubt that all young woodsmen should have a knife to practice bushcraft skills with, but they should also know when and when not to use it. Sometimes kids may get a little over zealous and mistakenly cut something they might should not have.

[rbvmtr]

children + fear = panic !!!

[101xfmrogers]

i agree

[101xfmrogers]

Jamison is pretty smart!

[wildernesswikiup14]

lol smart kid

[4770589]

Youre a good teacher!!!

[101xfmrogers]

is there a specific reason why you need to wait in 60 seconds intervals?

[wildernessoutfitters]

It helps maintain breathing normal in a situation and keeps from hyperventalation.

[101xfmrogers]

good idea!

[GlockAnimal]

Jameson thas a cool name ! Great video Dave!

[jhansen1441]

Dave,very cool to see ya teach this knowledge to the kids...we gotta get our kids away from the t.v' and the video games and spend more time outdoors.

well down,Dave

[meathead76]

Great video. Thanks Dave and Jameson.

[petervagt]

Awsome Video buddy i will go right away teaching my scouts all of this thanks for the idear Dave

[GoatHollow]

Super job!!!! Jamieson needs a belt though LOL!

[ninjuggalo420]

WoW being inquizative as always keep om keep'n on

[Bloodynavallint]

good information even if your not a kid

[MrBillTroop73]

Hi Dave,

It brightens my heart to see you teaching these important lessons to children.

(on a side note, I found it interesting how your camera automatically adjusted the volume input when the whistle was blown)

Bill

[jwilson004athotmail]

Awesome vid and idea!! Thanks buddy!!
