[Rusbalt75]

[starblazer64]

This is REAL LIVING!

[Coilingtechcom]

I loved the hut they made

[TheIowaPrepper]

Cabin fever maybe?



[chip1gray]

This guy is awsome he's my new hero, i think we should all be as stoned as he was in the 60's

[dhdriller]

Hey great vid! Love it, check us out too, see if you like our vids. We are under Oregon Survivalist Group here on youtube. Or can click on my profile to see our channel. Keep up the good work :-)

[jmr1068204]

Willie Nelson, is that you? XD

[WCherokeeW]

i learned flintknapping, cordage making and basketry from John, just from the book. i'm part Cherokee so i picked up on thing RIGHT away. i was making NICE points in a month, even knapped and pecked a a awesome hammer for pounding/loosening the cambium from honeysuckle and wysteria vines to make cordage for pendant strings and rope for making baskets. John and Geri awe awesome teachers. i HIGHLY recommend their book. one day i'll make a knapping tutorial vid myself

[crimsonshadows1]

also, this is just the intro. where the hell is the rest?

[Ilikemustard]

@crimsonshadows1

You have to buy it

[crimsonshadows1]

people scoff at me for being into bushcraft and primitive living skills. my two favorite sayings are 'i would rather know it and not need it, than need it and die like you" annnnd "an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure" true in all cases

[joec123able]

some people ask "why use primitive technology when we have modern technology ?" well wht happens when all of ur computers fail or technology is gone how are people supposed to survive when there used to having a cell phone to call 911 or a radio to listen to? learrning these skills can help you and is also very fun to put your skills to the test, i think.

[ArtemiaSalina]

Dennis Hopper??

[OEFvet1986]

I love your book, bought it a few years ago and have sucessfully used a few traps

[xMrjamjam]

we can all learn alot from living in the wild

[citizen773]

@xMrjamjam yes, i've learned more from my experiences in nature than anything modern society will ever teach me

[purdyquibb]

Good thing I enjoyed this video, Im not sure i'd be brave enough to hit the dislike button? He was looking right thru me......lol

[biggoldnugget]

Man I have the upmost respect for you

[cosimosellshomes]

very well said good job 

[jf99151]

John is a veteran and has lived and taught living skills for years. He is the 'goto' guy for anything dealing with natural living. He deserves recognition on his teaching skills and should be given a medal for his conservation of primitive living skills.  I do not know him personally, i have read one of his books, and a few articles. He and his wife have large caches of knowledge.

[TheGrimdoor]

is this guy on drugs. hes so intense. he should be president.

[jf99151]

@TheGrimdoor  He doesn't eat at McDonalds.

[neuroleptika]

What an energy

[barrett947]

hi!geri,used to work with you on c-13,have read lots of your books,mike

[OregonCoastGhost]

I love Dennis Hopper

[FoShoYo008]

this guy shoulb be the U.N. ambassador to nature

[HandsomeSasquatch]

John is the most badass badass on the planet!!!

[ShasO888]

We can get this on video? Wow that is primitive ;)

[Freakawn]

The next time I look up the word "Human" I best be seeing his face.

[iamearthbornami]

brilliant!!!

[augustabirdman]

Dennis Hopper! I wondered what happened to you.

[tekknorat]

AWESOME

[gabehampton]

The thing about clothing is that it gets easier as the community grows and is easier for the children because once people have the clothes in the community, these clothes can be passed on to the next generation and re-used for a long period of time. I like this guy though. Sustainable living gives one value to their work and makes everyday a new rhythm and new adventure.

[ChadHClifford]

I had bought this book and field guide years back. Great seeing the video version.

Thanks for the post

[ChadHClifford]

Wonderful to see your video. I had purchased your book and field-guides many years back. Thank-you

[terrymckee42]

great points made

I never thought abot this

so true

[christopherremmel]

you look like a backwoods version of anthony hopkins

which makes you the uber badass! also the fact that you know all of these skills and practice them is amazing!

[Alaskabass]

John, Is there a way to get ahold of you to discuss your class/videos etc?

[DukeScout007]

John, how do I get hold of you and Geri? I am a Survival Instructor at Camp Mackall, NC SERE. Need to know dates and times for possible outing/class with you.

[Alaskabass]

@DukeScout007 I am interested in getting ahold of John to find out more about his wilderness living classes/videos. Do you have that info?

[DukeScout007]

Hi John, I am a Survival Instructor at Camp Mackall NC We had some guys train with you. I have bought your books and am very interested in what you can teach me. How do I keep up with you?

DukeScout@aol.com

[Glockster42]

blink damn you blink, your creeping me out...:)

[smokeynewton]

Rather high-tech video for such a primitive lifestyle. Must be a wood-powered, non-materialistic video camera.

[jaydumars]

@smokeynewton The smoke signal isn't uploadable. So the communication isn't primitve. I can forgive it.

[5tonyvvvv]

Material things that are practical.and useful..materilistic in a way that they made everything they needed to survive..not the way people are materilistic today.like having more bullshit u dont need like computers cell phones.bigger homes,bigger suv..competing with your neighbor over bullshit..kids today 10 years old have cell phones..who are they calling how important is your life at 10 years ???.Dumb

[mythic89]

I know what he is doing in the woods and it ain't hunting, he's smokin.

[mythic89]

This dude is high as a kite.

[5tonyvvvv]

the first cloths were probably hemp or sheep skins..if u believe in creation.sheep were domestcated from the beginning by god, or easily killed with a lasso and stone kinife and made into fleece cloths

[prettyparadoxal]

hello. i have land that i am turning into a survivalist group type of place. any info is great if you could get back to me thanks :) P E A C E

[TatankaOhitika1]

I have learned a large majority of my skills from this man , and his wife . In fact , I still talk to him to this day . Him and Tim Baker are always going back and fourth about sinew backed bows , at least what he told me .

[jabames]

He got old...

[Ling86fanforever]

@jabames yep, and so will all of us if we learn to survive. :)

[Omnignosis]

I learned allot of things on my own, running around in the forrest growing up.

The older I get the more I miss those things and want to live like a primitive, lol.

[testbooster]

this guy should be President...

[DukeScout007]

@testbooster

[Lee68Perry]

In free tribal democracy there is no presidents. But I understand you. You mean, he should be chief of the tribe ;) And you are swiss right!

[AlphaTerraDyne]

@Lee68Perry I'm not swiss I'm from Iowa

[Lee68Perry]

@AlphaTerraDyne, I mean that You are right(correct) like a Swiss clock :)

[blaine7171]

@testbooster hell yah

[jtdrummer2112]

Are you Tommy Chongs dad?

[ViolentKisses87]

Heh on second though the 2 or 3 women comment makes me want to not sleep in the same hut as four guys xD

Hehe just kidding I know its not what you ment but you are a true survivor.

Ever think about actually trying out for survivor just for the heck of it?

It would almost be easy money for you

[ViolentKisses87]

I really love your video

I'm just getting into bushcraft and i'd love to spend just a week observing and learning from you

I'm sure I could learn so much

[yesiamanalien]

He has a raging fire in his eyes... an untamed spirit for sure.

[1jilu]

@yesiamanalien I believe its called narcissistic paranoia.

[winston475]

your survival video is not as good as the

true ways dvd by john lofty wiseman

[toga2050]

I didn't know Willie Nelson was living outdoors doing this thing! So that's where the expression buck naked comes from. lol maybe 2 or 3 women, in wilderness.. must be free reign?

[CarlosMacMartin]

I can only imagine what the "old ones" had to go

thru! Must have been a seriously harsh world! I

suppose modern society has its conveniences,

but when you think....it's still a harsh world!

[liberatedhumanbeing]

Harsh enough that thousands died trying to preserve such a way of life & the freedom it gave. Having delt with the wilderness & civilization, I have found only hardship & misery in a 'civilized' life that's harshness is 1000 times worse. My biggest worry was weather & if I wanted big game or small for food & what tools to make from the material it provided.

[boredism07]

yes it is hard but it's actually much more simple than living in todays society. think about it. you have nothing to worry about other than your needs if you wanted you made it and before that you didn't have to get a job first. i've based my life on this lifestyle and will begin living in only this way right out of college. you can't be an idiot to be a caveman. the old view on what makes you dumb has become what makes us smart because of the ignorance of wilderness knowledge

[Herb0004]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you say you plan on living a primitive life in the wild after you graduate college? I myself am a college student contemplating this same idea. I'm intrigued, tell me more...

[D7eadnaught]

does anyone know where i could get the dvds,

this looks interesting and id like to see more

[seerbiaa]

this man is king :P

[TheRedHawk123]

He seems very experienced in the field, nice to see how happy and relaxed he is talking about it.

5/5

[liberatedhumanbeing]

That's most likely because those that learn & practice the skills he & I teach & live by relieves so much artificial stress, like how bad the economy is supposed to be for one. Lost the house to bankers, fire, flood, etc? Build another. Food stock depleted & no money to get it? Hunt & gather greens. Need a tool to do something? Make it. Civilization has given me ONE good thing, my wife. Other then that, it can crumble back into the dust of time as it is the killer of Independence & freedom.

[Wildernessliving]

I have been reading your book for years ! i am happy to see this on you tube now

[perna125]

WHY ?

[spiresun]

Why Not!

[liberatedhumanbeing]

Maybe because they wish to learn more then to just be a good slave to a worthless society. Is that a fair reason why? I know that & my desire to travel are the reasons why I learned to be self reliant almost 40 years ago & still live the life today, even in a metropolitan area I hunt meat & gather greens that others would simply destroy because they are told they are bad for you & just weeds.

[jptravers]

I have one of this man's books from the library, it's excellent.

[liberatedhumanbeing]

Just one, or THE one. He did a compendium on which this and other videos he did are based on. But it started out as separate books.

[delawarehookset]

great job!!

[NaturesInstinct]

i want to learn from this guy.

[mrdm93]

who the fuck doesnt ..... i wanna live a year in the wilderness with him

[videogrl123]

Wonderfully informative. Thanks!

[gypsietraveller]

where is number 1 i love to see that

[pioneerliving]

Great video! Caramia

[KARStarla]

Great send thanks!

[pioneerliving]

Hi karstarla: Yes, I like him very much, it was how we lived in the bush. Except we had a timber company, and the men cut down timber and made their own lumber. I never saw a grocery store until I was around 4 years old.

[KARStarla]

You know thats how it should be, there would be no food lines if we all grew our own food to some extent and when hard times hit we could all share out of our harvests we are so disabled because we left it all up to a few and because we value green grass and unedible landscapes, I look at the land (everywhere, so vast) and theres barely anything to sustain any of us in our numbers, that could have been much different had we not forsaken the old ways thats for sure

[pioneerliving]

HI KARSTARLA: I agree, this year my neighbor decided to grow tomatoes, and she realized that tomatoes were over 6 dollars a pound. She grabbed her shovel and dug 10 2ft holes in her beautiful yard, and said the "Heck with it, I can't eat just grass!" I was so proud of her, she and her family grew sucessfully their first vegetable garden. She is hooked now, nothing better than organic healthy food, and she said it was so easy to do. Give up the lawn or starve, hmmm easy chocie to make. Caramia

[KARStarla]

Theres nothing like homegrown tomatoes either, I LOVE them, you definately tell the difference between storebought and homsegrown. Im already craving them now because I didnt grow enough to "can" this year, I have to figure out how much I need this year. Green grass just screams wasted land now lol

[pioneerliving]

I'm starting to grow my miniature tomatoes they will be ready to eat in 54 days. I forgot to tell you, the ones you froze, you can use their seed to grow your plants. Veggie seed so the best when you freeze them for 6 hours, they germinate like in nature, after being froze. Hey I made that vinegar video for you, it's uploading now. Love Caramia

[boatoflol]

Yea its because storebought ones are harvested nearl green, the turn red while beeing storaged, but they still have the quality of a green one.

[hoz49]

I've had a garden for over 30 years. Started in the 70's. Wherever we moved the first thing I would do is start a garden. At one time we had over an acre in cultivation. AS I got older I'm now down to 40'x20'.

The only thing is, we now live in suburbia. If the shit hit the fan my neighbors would descend like locusts.

[gypsietraveller]

what about the water is that number 2 no any one list

[THREEFLOORSDOWN1]

i have the advanded & applied book
