Thanks for uploading so many great survivalist-videos. Just subscribed to newsletter/maillist. Good to see people with the same respect towards nature and creatures as myself. I'm sure Turtleman agees :)
Nice dude I slack line all the time as well as boulder and survive I don't no if u rope climb or not but glad to see there's more people out there who care about little stuff like turtles hahaha great vid
Don't waste your time watching the other videos. everybody has peripheral vision and knows how to walk.. Its called stalking.. or hunting as we call it in America. lol Its not that technical really.. too funny.. lol Even the squirrels are laughing, Look at that idiot who tied 2 trees together.. lol You should join the Circus. lol
I'm becoming keen on your survival skills videos of your channell!! I'm also looking forward you load new files about this matter so I can improve my english as well :).
@Kuploosh FYI that comment was not intended to be critical or making fun of you, it just struck me as funny since cardboard is made from trees in the first place. :)
I have watched a few of your videos now and I am more and more impressed after each one. Get yourself an agent, pitch and idea and get yourself on television. I have seen hundreds of videos on bushcraft and wilderness survival and yours are by far the best in the category and among the best on Youtube. I run a camping website and will absolutely be linking to your site the next time I upload pages. And I don't link to anyone. Well done my friend.
I have done a similar thing a month ago and walked across a band like yours after a half an hour i had the feeling down and could easily walk across a band wich was about 3 meters long and was capable to turn walk back and even walk backwards, after another half an hour
it was really fun to do but i didnt know i was using these techniques you talk about and thought i was just walking
love your show ( a fan from holland , i asked a question with a contact form on your site)
That could be used as torture. Ball slapper! Great vid. thanks for always trying to help others. If every one could watch these many lives may be saved in the bush! you have a new sub bro! Thanks
I totally love and dig the videos that you make, they are very informative, but above all, I appreciate the philosophy behind them. I like very much that at the end of most of the videos not only do I learn a new technique, but I learn to appreciate my interaction with my environment and to learn to honor it as much as I can. Thank you again, and keep up the GREAT vids coming! BTW, Slack lining is amazing, a buddy of mine introduced me to it a while ago. Thanks again!
MrDerr32 Excellent presentation. This is one type of fire that I have never built. Thank you for this very good tip and pls continue with your videos. Compliments from Italy.
Hi paul nice video god blessu my friend you have to go watch my britney spears videos take care god blessu dale britney ehrself loves them so u know they have to be done for her. there also pic taken backstage with her people . also my pics on my icon was whne danced at her circus tour last year...
My neighbors always thought I was crazy for these things,as well as the zipline off of the street light pole. The city didnt think it was as great as I did so they said I couldnt do it anymore,lol. I fractured my hip doing a slack line behind Miguels pizza at red river gorge kentucky.......I wasnt sober,so learn from my mistake-dont drink and slackline!
Thank you so much, your videos have been a huge help, me and some friends are going out to my uncles 1700 acre woods to see who can stay out there the longest. You have really given me a HUGE advantage
Thanks Paul, I really enjoyed that. I used to practice balancing, by walking along the tops of the tall fences that surrounded the gardens where I lived, back when my body was around 10 years old. My body is 51 years old now, and having good ballance has saved it more than once in this life. Keep up the very good work Paul, you'll inspire many, I'm sure. Judging by some of the half-witted comments I've read while viewing your vids, a little inspiration isn't going to hurt. :)
Hey! Thanks for commenting... I really appreciate the kind words, and I love how you say that your "body" is 51... somebody told me that growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional... I always get a chuckle out of that. Have a great weekend!
The come-along system with webbing straps is a very useful tool to know about, even if you aren't going to slackline. Great video. Congratulations to Mr. Turtleman and goodluck in his new home environment. Fascinating presentation Paul. I like your philosophical view of how to carry yourself through everyday life. It really brings to mind those bracelets. You know...WWJD. Thanks for an entertaining and informative lesson. 5 starz dude. And a subscription.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dude, you remind me of my brother... he talks alot, knows nothing about survival. I listen to him wag his tongue while I light a fire and bring water to a boil for coffee.
Very honorable for what you did for the turtle!! Everone else just would have ran it down!!Kudos!!Nice job!!Thanks for the vids i am learning alot from these vids and i am 41!!Again THANK YOU!!
Are you making the videos all alone or with someone filming you?Maybe the first :) What State are you from?The nature in that state is very beautiful!
Keep up the good videos buddy. I really like all of them and tell my friends to check them out. I have learned a lot from them. Maybe some time if you ever get some time you could talk about wild edible and non edible plants, that would be a really cool video. Thanks for the good videos again, Take care.
Hedgehog, from knots and coiling climbing rope to fox walking, these are some of the best vids I've ever seen on Youtube! Just wonderin about this one - why do you need the 4 oval karabiners, could you just tie webbing directly on to the screwgates at each end?
Hey, thanks! That is very nice of you to say. As far as the oval carabiners... you need them for a few reasons. The first is that you want the webbing to lay flat in relation to the ground. If you don't put those extra links in there the webbing will be vertical and that makes it more messy and hard to walk on. Then, I use two on each side for redundancy. This setup puts a tremendous amount of force on the anchors and it is not unheard of to snap a carabiner... two is one, one is none!
thats cool your in missouri, I live in saint robert right outside ft. leonardwood. lol i just got back from the cardinals game last night. Ill try some of your suff out, I go out to the mark twain national forrest alot to fish and practice survivul skills. We live in a great state to do these things.
wow ,thank you so much for the info. living in the city you dont have alot of opportunity.But this block and tackle system love it,and the knots wonder if it can be use to pull a car out of a ditch not that it happens often lol......
Great video Paul. I relate entirely to your comment about not always being in a state of relaxation and aware when in the woods. Like you when making videos my mind is on the camera. I intend to adopt your awareness skill training to again be more ware of my surroundings. Sincce making the videos for youtube I havent seen hardly any wildlife. I know they are still there Im just not aware of it. Thank you reminding me of what I am missing. Sean 5*
Hey Sean... thanks for commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed the video... and man, I definitely feel ya about the video camera. It is rewarding in one aspect to be capturing the info to share with others, but it is also tough because I feel like I am on a rigid time schedule now and then... anyway, I really enjoy your vids too and get a lot of value from them... I hope to meet up someday if I am ever in your neck of the woods or visa versa!
oooh, that always looks like so much fun, I see folks doing that in the park sometimes. Better balance would be nice for my ballroom technique. Thanks for looking out for the trees w/ the cardboard/carpet suggestion!
LOL, you're "that guy", I've been that guy on occasion (well that girl, anyhow) and I've never regretted it, I only ever regret it if I don't scoop up the critter and wonder what happened to it the whole rest of the day.
Thank you!!! So glad you enjoyed the video, and yeah, as you mentioned these knots can be used for all kinds of stuff. I am going to do a more comprehensive video on knots at some point. Thanks for watching!
I agree that to love nature is to love everything it contains. I don't know ur faith background but you should look into paganism. It might open up a better view of things. I am not talking about the witchcraft aspect. Just the nature loving side.
Hey, thanks for commenting... I am not familiar with paganism but am always open to hearing peoples beliefs and such... for myself I guess I am always kind of "searching" spiritually and I don't consider myself to be any one thing... best wishes to you my friend!
@HedgehogLeatherworks ...I heard an author on public radio a month or so back, who had written a book called "Dark Green Religion," referring to the common strands of spirituality that run through the lives of people who revere nature, feel themselves a part of it, and believe in the interconnectedness of all things. I think it might be right up your alley, and something you might want to explore. Thank you for sharing these extremely informative, high quality videos.
I really enjoy your videos. As others have said before, you are a very articulate speaker. The whole tone is nice, mellow, and relaxing to listen to. Five stars from me.
Thank you Rico! That means a lot to me and I really appreciate the encouragement! More videos to come soon... I am going out to do a lot of filming this weekend!
Regarding what the first comment was referring to "18st", I believe that he was telling you that he weighs 18 'stone' with a stone being equivalent to 14 standard pounds ... i.e. 252 pounds ... FYI.
I like the fact that your subject matter focuses on skills, practical use, and mindset ... the last of which is your most valuable asset in many situations ... including survival ...
Thank you for the clarification! LOL... that is interesting! And thanks for the compliments! I am glad that you are enjoying the videos and aligning with the mindset! Turtle power!
In my part of the world we don't walk through the woods quietly unless you're carrying a rifle and hunting game. Mainly because we want the 5000 black bear and 3000 grizzlies that we have here to hear us coming...haha! Great video man...honestly :o)
I posted my comment before you mentioned the turtle, it reminded me of a few months ago. I too, held up a busy 4-lane highway to help a softshell turtle that had made his way out of the marshlands on the side of the highway. He was slightly bigger than a cadillac hub cap. I was referred to by quite a few colorful words, but I personally percieved it as totally worth it. Glad to see I'm not the only one
great idea with the clip system. how much did that whole set up cost you? ive seen surfers doing slacklining like rob machado. your not not bad at it!
Thanks... I wish I invented it, but someone showed it to me a long time ago. The whole rig is probably 40-50 bucks... and for the value it provides it pays for itself MANY times over... good luck and thanks for commenting!

@HedgehogLeatherworks ...I heard an author on public radio a month or so back, who had written a book called "Dark Green Religion," referring to the common strands of spirituality that run through the lives of people who revere nature, feel themselves a part of it, and believe in the interconnectedness of all things. I think it might be right up your alley, and something you might want to explore. Thank you for sharing these extremely informative, high quality videos.

I really enjoy your videos. As others have said before, you are a very articulate speaker. The whole tone is nice, mellow, and relaxing to listen to. Five stars from me.

Paul,
Great video ... save the turtles ...
Regarding what the first comment was referring to "18st", I believe that he was telling you that he weighs 18 'stone' with a stone being equivalent to 14 standard pounds ... i.e. 252 pounds ... FYI.
I like the fact that your subject matter focuses on skills, practical use, and mindset ... the last of which is your most valuable asset in many situations ... including survival ...
Keep going ...
Justin

In my part of the world we don't walk through the woods quietly unless you're carrying a rifle and hunting game. Mainly because we want the 5000 black bear and 3000 grizzlies that we have here to hear us coming...haha! Great video man...honestly :o)

I posted my comment before you mentioned the turtle, it reminded me of a few months ago. I too, held up a busy 4-lane highway to help a softshell turtle that had made his way out of the marshlands on the side of the highway. He was slightly bigger than a cadillac hub cap. I was referred to by quite a few colorful words, but I personally percieved it as totally worth it. Glad to see I'm not the only one

Don't forget to tell viewers to start low then work up to hip level. Great video. I used to rock climb; but also love the wilderness self reliance.

Thanks... I wish I invented it, but someone showed it to me a long time ago. The whole rig is probably 40-50 bucks... and for the value it provides it pays for itself MANY times over... good luck and thanks for commenting!
