Im just back from a 3 days survival camp trip. Sir, to hear your voice again teaching the skills of the wild makes my pulse go quicker and Im so thankful for what you are doing.
Does anyone know if you can get cryptosperidiom (spelling?) from rinsing your mouth with water from a river or stream? without drinking it on purpose of course.
aniamls can smell the meat in your piss. so to aniamls it means predators and smart aniamls are afraid of meat eaters. thats why deer dont live near wolf dens or coyotes they can smell thier piss and know its danger.
wouldn't there be a possibility of gettin any microorganisms inhabiting that pool in your eyes by just dipping that towel? or does its microfiberness come into play here somehow?
@ToddIngram1000 I grew up in the Midwest (Kansas City) and also lived in several places in California. 85F with nearly 100% humidity in the Midwest will kill you much faster than 100F+ and low humidity in most of California. Now if you're talking Sac I totally understand as the humidity can be just as bad of a problem but most of California is free from horribly high humidity throughout the hot summers.
Actually, if you have normal kidney function, your urine is well concentrated and should contain less than 1% Na (sodium). Your kidneys retain it very well. FeNa( fractional excretion of sodium) - google it. Just an FYI, great vid tho.
check my channel out got some out door vids comeing u guyses way, sub like my vids, and remember its free! link is to my new bug out video like it please.
When I was in the Gulf I had my parents mail me stridex. They worked like a charm. Also, after having some foot issues I began changing socks 2 or 3 times a day. Just my 2 cents.
Hahaha, at 8:13 as soon as he said the word "bugs" when he was talking about how bugs and things can get stuck on your head a fly landed on his head. It's like the bug was just sitting there listening to him and as soon as the bug heard it's name it was like, "Oh shit that's my que!"
Excrements are territorial markers. Scattering them around is an act of challenge and domination. doing so in a territory where dominant animals rule ( e.g. bears, lions, etc. ) means looking for troubles.
but if the water has bacteria or otherwise,like river water,is it safe to wash your face {just in case it gets into your eyes,etc} with that water just like that?
or do you need to purify it before you wash your face?
im a big advocate of the squat and waddle, it eliminates the need for leaves, or dirty hands, however it makes navigating through the forest more dificult.
oddly enought you can use smoke as a scent mask because animals are used to the smell of wood smoke because wildfires are a natural process of nature.
ownly problem is its hard to find somewhere thats in the middle of no where. ive checked and it seams that every hill and valley in oregons forests has a road on it. ownly place thats remotely far away from anything is paradise lodge area on the rouge river.
An item I usually carry is baking soda. its multipurpose: use as toothpaste, footpowder, prob. even deodorant if that was necessary. use it as an antacid to settle your stomach. use it with an acid to make bread rise (acid-base reaction) I've used apple blossom petals, which contain hydrocyanic acid, with baking soda to make ash cakes more fluffy, less cracker like.
I've had good results from using the leaves of Japanese Honeysuckle as soap. I take a handfull, twist them up a lil, wet them, and then squeeze out the juice. gives some suds. Certainly is a lot easier to find in quantity than yucca or soapwort.
Also, don't know if you have it in your area, but I've been using the Variegated Horsetail as a toothbrush, and I'll tell ya, it's real swell. supposed to strengthen the enamel too. Grows like crazy along the Housatonic River floodplains.
Dave, why did you say you have to use a stick to dig a hole? I can understand why you shouldn't do that with your knife (rocks in the ground will dull the blade), but why not with a shovel / E-tool?
thats true but then you would have to wash off and use moss to sterilize your what ever tool you use so you don't attract insects and contaminations .
Actually the only advantage of Plastic is 1. Availability and 2 The new Nalgenes are Clear so you can see contents. Aluminum has been linked to Alzheimers-SS Would be great but New ones are not made and Old ones are hard to find except in Arctic Versions.
@wildernessoutfitters dude that aluminum thing is a myth. aluminum is one of the most common elements in the earth's crust and contained in most plants, and thus animals. if you eat anything, you eat aluminum
@aseglkj Correction. We eat aluminum in microscopic particle size broke down to the smallest elements from plants and animals. Aluminum is one of the essential minerals we need but taken in high doses is very toxic. Those high doses come from overuse of aluminum products. Arsenic is a nutrient our body uses and in tiny colloidal microscopic size it's harmless. It all breaks down to the dosage size. We get copper from our diets too, but do you think eating pennies wouldn't make ya sick?
@HollowForm222 you are right in that anything can be toxic if eaten in high enough doses. People have died from drinking too much water or eating spoonfuls of table salt. But there is no reason to be concerned about aluminum canteens, because unless you put something acidic in there, your aluminum exposure will be miniscule compared to the amount you get from nature itself.
@wildernessoutfitters Alzheimers has not been proven from aluminum toxicity. There is a greater link to cerebral inactivity. Playing chess, Sudoku, crosswords, even video-games seem to alleviate the deterioration. It appears predominantly to be a genetic condition.
All the same, I wouldn't give up a dutch oven for the aluminum equivalent. Heavy to carry, but exceptionally versatile.
@aaronpetersutherland nothing is a genetic condition. thats dumb. the genes are always present, and are either on or off, the genes are the expression of the illness not the other way round.
@AbattoirDream With a call sign like "AbattoirDream" it assumes you care about nothing more than the dissemination of misinformation, toxicity and an overall desire to see people die. You show me your credentials about genetics and I'll find you the periodicals from professionals in the field that support my statements. Genetics predispose people to conditions. That's evolution. A diabetic father has a huge chance of having his progeny carry the same disease.
@aaronpetersutherland didnt mummy ever tell you not to judge a book by its cover? i didnt think the name up, stop jumping to WELL OVER THOUGHT conclusions, fool.
bruce lipton, the biology of belief.. go watch it. genetics IS what creates malfunctions in the body, but its not the first link in the chain, your BRAIN effects genetics, your genetics effect your body, thats it. i misworded what i said, i literally meant an illness is an effect of the genes, but the genes arent the initial source.
@wildernessoutfitters The Alzheimers link is looking pretty unlikely as information/understanding grows. Still even though heavier, SS has a bunch of benefits over crappy Aluminium stuff. Melting point, durability etc. A magnet can be used to test for real SS, it shouldn't stick.
Yay for micro-fibre!! People don't understand bacteria, many think that detergent kills bugs (it dissolves grease). Anything clean (free from hiding holes/food/water), exposed to UV, will be disinfected.
I also want to mention that good nail clippers are really cheap. Most have a little hole at the end that you can put a key ring on and carry on your EDC and they are small enough to stash away in a first (or last) aid kit. Nail clippers are a multi purpose item too. I carry one in my tackle box to trim fishing line. You could trim a hanging thread, arrow fletching, annoying whiskers, etc.
A little something that I will ALWAYS carry with me and value as much as a sharp knife and paracord are nail clippers. I know that sounds silly and I'm sure it's often overlooked but they can be of great value for good hygiene because having neatly trimmed nails prevents bacteria and infection from growing and being transfered to say an eye if you scratch it. Plus having 2" long nails and your only option is biting them isn't good for you or your morale. Just my humble opinion.
Dig your poop and pee trench downhill from your camp. That way, if a hard rain comes along, you don't wake up in poop or pee washing down hill. E coli is one nasty bug you don't want traveling from someone else to you.
Deodorants contain bacteria killing chemicals. You can use roll-on deodorant on where skin meets skin (under flabby skin, crotch, or under breasts) to keep bacteria count down and rashes nearly nonexistent. You can put deodorant on mild scrapes or over tick or bug bites.
A 1gallon ziplock freezer bag with a small hole in it is great for this. Fill up the bag, walk your 50 feet away from the water source, use a little on your towel, wash, ring out the towel. use more water on towel, repeat. You brought the water away from the source before using.
The 1 gal. bag is so light it is definitely worth it.
@wildernessoutfitters PINE CONES! OUCH haha What about rabbits? I hear sh*t doesn't stick to their fur .....or is that just in the old 'bear walking through the woods' joke?! :D
I got a GOGIRL so I could pee standing up when out and about. I have had 90% success with it and the rest left me peeing down my leg. Got to get the seal just right. Over all not bad.
I fined handy wipes and hand sanitizer to be lovely too. Pack out the wipe.
I know it is not survival stuff but both are very tinny and light. It is just nice for us girls I think.
My Girls carry an Elongated Auto type funnel .99cents and a pack of Travel Baby wipes, Great for them and you it sounds like! Thanks for your comment.
We carry the baby wipes for the wife and daughter, but I insist that she get/use scentless. Mainly for bugs/flies, in the northeast we're getting the humid season, and scentless product help cut down the attraction. We have a kit that we use camping/hunting, basically anything outdoors, everything is scentless (deodorant, shampoo, soaps, baking powder toothpaste, no hairspray/gel, perfume evething), not only does it help with the creapy crawlies, but also the bears, squirrell, and other game.
i love yellow springs, been to dayton many times, can't stand the city but yellow springs was a good time.......beautiful area when ya get out a ways....N.W. Ohio here:)
alright theres no need for exclamation points, i wasnt trying to prove you wrong i just didnt know the reasons, i do subscribe to your videos by the way i think you do a great job with them
"If you wanna be a hippie, I'm cool with that". Ha, that's so funny. I have dreadlocks and I go on treks very often. And yes, ticks do attach to my scalp alot.
Dave, great video. It had actually slipped my mind that you could use smoke and sun to disinfect your clothes, even though I knew that was a way of disinfecting water and dealing with trench foot. I should have put 2 & 2 together, but thanks for the great reminder.
have you used a powder called zea zorb it is a anti-fungul powder that works wonders on rashes, wet feet, chaffed skin and ringworms, its kinda expensive but alittle goes a long way, also dave would you get a becker bk2 or a rat 3 if you already have a large survival knife(ka-bar heavy bowie) just wondering what you would do.
Dave, Do you use any kind of bug dope? I was out in the woods for two days last week and the ticks are bad in this part of OH. I shave my head so no prob there but I picked about 20 off my clothes!
All military manuals stress the fact that one should be wearing clean, dry socks; however, that admonishment soon becomes a bit of a hoot.
Under field conditions, when you have wet boots, your clean, dry socks will quickly become dirty, wet socks. Face it, fellows! Being in the bush means being dirty and often wet. Theres no hot shower waiting for you at the end of the day.
Not sure why all the talk about humans suited for environment. If you don't want to wear cloths and shoes then I guess don't then, but leave the rest of us alone. Great vid Dave, I was wandering what you carried for teeth brushing.
Also, for the slingbow, if you make one that is more custom, I will buy it.
I have heard of people using pulleys and latex flat bands to increase tension. The pulleys would allow you to have a longer band, but keep the band tight from the Y split. You can also just use one band instead of two for this method. There is one guy on youtube that has made slingshots like this with pulleys, and those things are seriously strong.
Some people may be offended by my assertion that Man is an animal. If you are religious and believe that we are made in God's image etc. Can you tell me why He designed us to be so unsuited for our environment? I think that Man is a tropical species by design. We were meant to live in areas where we could go about naked and barefoot. Africa, South America,Asia, Australia, South Pacific etc.
I am a Christian and have no problem being called an animal, man is King of the Beasts because we have the Brain and Reasoning to adapt to changes in our world that have caused many weaker beasts to become extinct. That is why as the saying goes the MOre you Know the Less you Carry.
That's easy, when we were designed, humans were living in a beautiful tropical paradise(the garden of Eden). Now we are horribly suited to our environment.
Why does mankind have such trouble living in the wild? Our ancestors managed it for tens of thousands of years just fine. Why does man alone amongst all the other animals require clothes, shoes etc? No other animal requires a manufactured skin(clothes) or the skin from another animal. Look at the soles of your feet see how thick they are. Man was designed to go about barefoot. if we cannot go about barefoot and naked it is because we are living in a climate that is not suitable for man.
Our ancestors wore clothes as well man! Humans have evolved not having the outer Hair that early Hominids had for isulation. And if you think Neanders and Paleo man walked around in the snow barefoot you need more research, Google Otzi the Iceman. Humans have learned to Adapt and evolve to a world that has had harsh climactic and ecological changes, you dont do that bare foot and naked!!!!!!
Another great vid Dave.. I put dental floss above a toothbrush in order of priority.. many uses with dental floss - junk caught between your teeth can drive you nuts and hurt too.. Hoo Ah
Thanks Dave . Its good to have info on how to keep clean . Nothing worse than feeling like a tramp when you're out in the woods for a while. I'm pleased you didnt try a crazy pot shot at the ram . I've heared of people shooting deer many times with a crossbow and it still didnt kill it because they shot the wrong areas . Kill zones are vital for hunting humanely !
Roflmaoooooooo.. "If you wanna be a hippie" .. That was too funny! Another great video Dave! And that canteen kit looks like to one I just ordered from ya..
In Vietnam, foot powder—Desenex—was absolutely a must in order to prevent ringworm. Dont be without it. Use the stuff liberally.
In war, sickness incapacitates and kills more people than bullets. Do take alcohol wipes with you to clean your hands after defecating. I never saw anyone in a combat environment do that. And failing to do that led to needless cases of dysentery.
its great for attracting animals, see i hunt bare handed, i find it to be the best for my liking. Saves weight, space. I have killed me game up to a bear with this method, small bear.
I believe he's in Ohio. Big game sheep are all over the northern US and southern Canada. Colorado has some great Rocky Mountain Sheep hunting, from what I hear. A ram is a male sheep.
Dave, Thanks fol\r the info and updates. Hunting is just taking game. I would like to see footage of your hunt, the problems (Ram too fast, jump too high) and how you would overcome it, hunt other day or drive game to hidden hunter etc. I think your viewers can handle not connecting the first day.
ok brother 85 degrees is fall here. We spent friday night in the woods and at midnight it was still in the high 90's with the daytime temp in excess of 104. Now thats hot!
i like to bring a bar of soap, i wash my body, hair, and teeth with a bar of soap when camping or hiking. taists horrable but as long as gargle ur good.
it s a great question. and yes there are many. just type how to build a fire in the search bar. many diff methods will show up. i have a video on how to make fireballs for easier fire making in the field.
hahah thank you very much but i have long hair and have had it most of my life and have never had any ticks anywhere close to my head and im in the woods all the damn time
also look into your past most of your trappers and mountain men all had long hair needless to say most all of the first nation tribes had hair dont hate on us becouse we can grow hair and you cant dave lol good vids by the way keep up the good work and keep them coming

I also want to mention that good nail clippers are really cheap. Most have a little hole at the end that you can put a key ring on and carry on your EDC and they are small enough to stash away in a first (or last) aid kit. Nail clippers are a multi purpose item too. I carry one in my tackle box to trim fishing line. You could trim a hanging thread, arrow fletching, annoying whiskers, etc.

A little something that I will ALWAYS carry with me and value as much as a sharp knife and paracord are nail clippers. I know that sounds silly and I'm sure it's often overlooked but they can be of great value for good hygiene because having neatly trimmed nails prevents bacteria and infection from growing and being transfered to say an eye if you scratch it. Plus having 2" long nails and your only option is biting them isn't good for you or your morale. Just my humble opinion.

Dig your poop and pee trench downhill from your camp. That way, if a hard rain comes along, you don't wake up in poop or pee washing down hill. E coli is one nasty bug you don't want traveling from someone else to you.
Deodorants contain bacteria killing chemicals. You can use roll-on deodorant on where skin meets skin (under flabby skin, crotch, or under breasts) to keep bacteria count down and rashes nearly nonexistent. You can put deodorant on mild scrapes or over tick or bug bites.

A 1gallon ziplock freezer bag with a small hole in it is great for this. Fill up the bag, walk your 50 feet away from the water source, use a little on your towel, wash, ring out the towel. use more water on towel, repeat. You brought the water away from the source before using.
The 1 gal. bag is so light it is definitely worth it.

I am of the female persuasion so
I got a GOGIRL so I could pee standing up when out and about. I have had 90% success with it and the rest left me peeing down my leg. Got to get the seal just right. Over all not bad.
I fined handy wipes and hand sanitizer to be lovely too. Pack out the wipe.
I know it is not survival stuff but both are very tinny and light. It is just nice for us girls I think.

wildernessoutfitters 2 years ago
We carry the baby wipes for the wife and daughter, but I insist that she get/use scentless. Mainly for bugs/flies, in the northeast we're getting the humid season, and scentless product help cut down the attraction. We have a kit that we use camping/hunting, basically anything outdoors, everything is scentless (deodorant, shampoo, soaps, baking powder toothpaste, no hairspray/gel, perfume evething), not only does it help with the creapy crawlies, but also the bears, squirrell, and other game.

have you used a powder called zea zorb it is a anti-fungul powder that works wonders on rashes, wet feet, chaffed skin and ringworms, its kinda expensive but alittle goes a long way, also dave would you get a becker bk2 or a rat 3 if you already have a large survival knife(ka-bar heavy bowie) just wondering what you would do.

All military manuals stress the fact that one should be wearing clean, dry socks; however, that admonishment soon becomes a bit of a hoot.
Under field conditions, when you have wet boots, your clean, dry socks will quickly become dirty, wet socks. Face it, fellows! Being in the bush means being dirty and often wet. Theres no hot shower waiting for you at the end of the day.

if you do have athletes foot, smoke your feet or soake your feet in old mans beard and hot water
chrissept21 2 years ago
Also, for the slingbow, if you make one that is more custom, I will buy it.
I have heard of people using pulleys and latex flat bands to increase tension. The pulleys would allow you to have a longer band, but keep the band tight from the Y split. You can also just use one band instead of two for this method. There is one guy on youtube that has made slingshots like this with pulleys, and those things are seriously strong.

Some people may be offended by my assertion that Man is an animal. If you are religious and believe that we are made in God's image etc. Can you tell me why He designed us to be so unsuited for our environment? I think that Man is a tropical species by design. We were meant to live in areas where we could go about naked and barefoot. Africa, South America,Asia, Australia, South Pacific etc.
MissLadyboy007 2 years ago
I am a Christian and have no problem being called an animal, man is King of the Beasts because we have the Brain and Reasoning to adapt to changes in our world that have caused many weaker beasts to become extinct. That is why as the saying goes the MOre you Know the Less you Carry.
wildernessoutfitters 2 years ago
That's easy, when we were designed, humans were living in a beautiful tropical paradise(the garden of Eden). Now we are horribly suited to our environment.

Why does mankind have such trouble living in the wild? Our ancestors managed it for tens of thousands of years just fine. Why does man alone amongst all the other animals require clothes, shoes etc? No other animal requires a manufactured skin(clothes) or the skin from another animal. Look at the soles of your feet see how thick they are. Man was designed to go about barefoot. if we cannot go about barefoot and naked it is because we are living in a climate that is not suitable for man.
MissLadyboy007 2 years ago
Our ancestors wore clothes as well man! Humans have evolved not having the outer Hair that early Hominids had for isulation. And if you think Neanders and Paleo man walked around in the snow barefoot you need more research, Google Otzi the Iceman. Humans have learned to Adapt and evolve to a world that has had harsh climactic and ecological changes, you dont do that bare foot and naked!!!!!!

In Vietnam, foot powder—Desenex—was absolutely a must in order to prevent ringworm. Dont be without it. Use the stuff liberally.
In war, sickness incapacitates and kills more people than bullets. Do take alcohol wipes with you to clean your hands after defecating. I never saw anyone in a combat environment do that. And failing to do that led to needless cases of dysentery.
