Survival Adventure Net Trailer The Hunting Camp

[KenpoNewsome]

Are we going to be able to see this one?

[skeczy]

Wasn't this full video supposed to be due on in January? I noticed the new teaser is for a third full video (altoids kit), so is this one still coming? I like the premise of this one.

[EasyListeningful]

Hi Dave. Have enjoyed both features and looking forward to more. Thanks to you and your team for the efforts. Dissapointing that so many of the group let you guys down by bailing on you early.

Also, would have liked to have seen you spend a bit more time demonstrating at the end, what the participants could have done differently. For example, use of the flashlight/battery, etc. Just a suggestion definately not a criticism

[abelabresm]

I'm realy exited to wacth the full video. When, Daved?

[alexgoyettemobile]

feathersticks , and a huge fire then set the tarp as a tipi

[atruepatriot92]

Awesome stuff, can't wait to see the whole video! Thanks a lot Dave, for everything. Hope you and your family are doing well, take care and stay safe!

[envirosponsible]

Channels like this are destroying TV. You and your crew rock Dave!

[Djohnstone1969]

If they are hunting then they have guns. Remove a bullet or shot from a round, replace with cotton wadding from a tshirt. Strip another round down. Pile gunpowder in tender. Point blank shot with first round and you would have sure fire.

[atruepatriot92]

@Djohnstone1969 I don't think they were hunting man, they found an old hunting camp but they weren't hunting themselves. That is a good trick though that a lot of guys forget to do. Even in those wet conditions you can get a fire going with that.

[gordy321]

I live here in Newfoundland, and if it is not raining it has just stopped and it will be raining again shortly unless maybe it is snowing. Survival means an axe, a ferro rod and good quality rain gear covering wool layers. You can't just say i have had enough I am going home in the woods

[thadarryl]

I would Love to do this with you. But I can't get down to OhiO. Are you ever gonna do one of these In Canada. More specifically southern Ontario

[Mozartghost1791]

I got a fire in the rain just three days ago. Found some wood up off the ground and split it with a knife.

[SuhwoopGGs503]

This is a very hard thing to do. And if you dont get fire you better be snugglin up with your buddies or your most likely going to get hypothermya. And it is noo easy task getting fire in down poor!

[GISELLE377]

Awesome. And more useful experience in a day than messing around in the yard would give in a year. You never forget that first miserable night....

[InTheSticks0001]

It's hard to say without actually being there, but there was likely a chance to find enough debris large enough that was there would be found dry wood in the middle. "Many hands make work light." The guys collectively could have come up with plenty kindling and larger to sustain a small fire and dry out twigs and small limbs, and slowly build it up under the protection the tarp. The battery would have lite gunpowder then cotton by using a strand of the wire that would have glowed red hot.

[BoJoMo47]

@InTheSticks0001 What wire?

[InTheSticks0001]

@BoJoMo47 On that type of flashlight there is usually a wire. Of course this might be a different design? And if there is not, the heavy spring wire on the battery itself could be used. Although the battery is low voltage, it can produce a fair amount of current, especially when new as that one is. The current is what will cause the wire to glow red hot. The glass on the bulb could be broken off and the wires that hold the element can be attached together for the same effect.

[BoJoMo47]

@InTheSticks0001 Thanks! So, now how do you attach the wire without burning yourself in the process?

[BoJoMo47]

...as in burning yourself on the wire because the wire gets hot.

[InTheSticks0001]

@BoJoMo47 Typically in that type of flashlight there is switch located forward of the handle, and that's where two small wires run to. Once stripped and surrounded with gunpowder from the shell and covered by the cotton, just turn on the switch. The ignitors for model rockets work in a similar way.  One could set off their own model rocket remotely in this way...

[kyadak]

I can't wait to see the full length video.

[ldmak90]

I guess by tapping out the individual is admitting they could have been a fatality in that scenario if it were an actual survival situation?

[mikebranham80]

That really had to be a Miserable night, rain rain. I was blessed with the ability to buy a North Face Tadpole23 Tent, I have spent rainy nights like that in my tent and stayed dry. After watching this video it really makes me appreciate my tent. and for the one who quit don't sweat it you made the most logical self preservation decision available went home and got dry. every one knows that in a true survival situation that decision is not available so yeah one would have to stay and fight it.

[spence0324]

Nit picking aside. Basic knowledge is a MUST for anyone venturing into the woods. You can't just "quit" in real life and I can see why many people die every year from exposure. These guys put themselves knowingly into a situation and they quit. Goes to show you., don't take these skills for granted. everyone seems to have an opinion sitting here in front of a computer but put 99% into these situations and they fail. Do not take this stuff lightly. Practice. Nice insight.

[crack3rboi]

at 5:08 are thoes 2 beers up against the tree?

[cyclist01222]

This is a tough situation... I don't think I could get a fire started with what they had and the conditions. I think I would have concentrated my efforts on a shelter to get out of the rain and preserved my remaining energy to just make it through the night as dry as possible. Maybe gather wet tinder and kindling to dry out for first chance at a fire when conditions permit.

[LivingHistorySchool]

sometimes a little knowledge of survival skills can be detrimental, I think this may be the case, example wasting energy on a bowdrill

[nativerobin]

I think I understand they were to be lost in the woods with only a knife?.... I'm just wondering how many guys that carry knives would not carry at least one method for fire, even matches? ....As wet as it was i'm thinking starting a fire might have been a challenge for most guys either way. I'll be watching the full video for sure!

[CoastalBackWoods]

@nativerobin the next time you are on a hike, ask the day hikers you run across what they have to make fire. I think you may be surprised at exactly how many people go into the woods completely unprepared.

[nativerobin]

@CoastalBackWoods My point was the kind of guys that would carry survial knives would more than likely carry some sort of fire making option...the avergae day hikers i run accross are lucky if they don't walk off a cliff LOL

[Survivalpractical]

CANT wait for the WHOLE thing to come out. Stupid 8 minute teasers. Hey Dave, anyway you could do a 15 year old scenario? :) Id love to give it a shot. I think im much more ready than the first couple of guys. Not to say i love freezing my butt off either:)

[bigjoekasulis]

I can see how hard it would be to set up a survival camp with more then two people. We all have our own idea of whats important and what should be done but when I see three guys standing there and not working to improve their camp it makes me sad. Okay if these guys watched any of your videos they didn't retain much or listen to any instructions given. I would have to grade this group with a D- Rain/wet or not FIRE comes first maybe its the way the vid edit came out these guys do need your help

[bigjoekasulis]

@jsadler14537 It seemed like a lot of energy and time wasting going on in most of video I wasn't there so I cant say for sure. but this video defiantly didn't make anyone shine. left you all open for comments good or bad.

[danthman114]

what?

[chaseme81871]

cannot wait.

[cvfd555]

Second vevans! I loved the dual survival series I just watched the north west episode this morning I had DVR'd called soaked. I love the new channel can't get enough. I like following the yurt too! Hope you guys have a great year keep it coming!! This video was a little tough to hear but it just shows how much it was raining.

[lmsloan]

Can't hear what they're saying.

[vevans1505]

Dave, I love this idea you've come up with. I believe Cody and you, with Discovery took reality survival shows to a different, more "real" level and with the SAN channel, you are going a step further. Bravo my man; excellent!

[xlr8n99]

That would be a tough challenge, even with a minimal kit. Tons of work just to stay warm, nevermind, dry. Awesome stuff right there!

[ninjaturtle559]

this is gonna be a good one

[alpinedali]

Great effort from those guys for sure. Can't wait to see the whole thing. I think I would have tapped out about the time they handed me a bow drill! I can't get one of those freaking things to work on a dry day. Bet they would have killed for a mini inferno kit about one o'clock eh?

[sagequan]

Wait....where did they get a battery from? lol.

[shadowflight762]

Excellent video, looking forward to your next one.

[MrEhud77]

Cotton clothing + cold wet weather = Hypothermia unless you have a really good shelter and fire

[bikenutter1]

Looks great. Still some issues with sound. Any chance you can mic up everyone? I know its not cheap. Failing that, a waterproof hand mic used reporter style? Would improve the post production quality and professional finish greatly. Thanks for doing the vid everyone. UK bushcrafter

[Dudgeify]

I love the "honesty" of these videos. It really puts thing in perspective seeing "common men" attempting the things you teach in videos and frankly make them look easy most of the time. I just wanted to say that I appreciate the videos on this channel, as well as your other channel. Keep it up, good sirs!

[Deriust]

Is this a different edit than the original video?  I noticed some comments in the original discussion are missing?

[SurvivalAdventureNet]

This was a rough challenge, understand variables are always introduced to see what problem solving and priorities happen. The sound was a major pain and forces us as a group to improve for the next vid as well. I will clean this up the best I can prior to posting the feature. I will shoot a vid tomorrow to explain how we select volunteers and set up scenarios as well as rational behind them.

[broben2]

@SurvivalAdventureNet Hurry dave I am impatiant to see the rest of this. Talk about leaving us wanting more!

[bellwitch007]

Wow! All that moisture and rain. Those are some hardcore volunteers to take up a challenge like that. This is going to be a great learning experience, I can't wait!

[CdnLifeguard71]

Looks to be another good one.

Nate

[sagequan]

And I really hope everyone slept with a little tinder against their bodies to dry it all out.

[CoastalBackWoods]

The beer bottles could have been "trash" leftover from the old hunting camp in this scenario... I've seen plenty of beer bottles in the woods.

[sagequan]

if its freezing and drizzling cold rain and all that you have is your knife then you are not making fire...Period!

The old pros can do it caveman style using friction but even then its not guarenteed especially with rain. Best advice would be to hunker down and get ready for a long cold one before you get into "WTH" mode in the morning when everything is soaked, everyone is hungry and everyone is cold. My kids were making camp fires alone since age 8 but out there with no supplies... no mas!

[Icebergster]

It would be nice to have some better audio on this video, understand the rain is loud, but overall vocals are a bit quiet, hope that gets solved

[CoastalBackWoods]

I am on the edge of my seat waiting for these videos. Thanks Dave and Iris!  Lets not forget to thank the rest of the Pathfinder crew as well! Oh, and if you need another volunteer, I'm here to help! Thanks again Pathfinder School!

[drumgodtim]

Tired/wet/cold = YUCK. Tough situation in which to be.

[USMC65UH34D]

Were they not allowed EDC? Did I miss something? JJD

[utubeworms]

OMG, that guys erratic whittling had me certain that he was gonna slice his finger open with each stroke.

[Redfoxxbushcraft]

@utubeworms His whittling was fine. No problems with his technique ;)

[kennydkb]

I commented on the previous upload, looks like that has been deleted. I am still interested in knowing how you "pick" the people to do these scenarios. Is there a Lottery? or a fee?, I am really interested in heading over to Ohio to give this a shot, I am located just east of Indianapolis. And i just want to say how thankful we are that you continue to teach us the knowledge you have spent years studying and perfecting. Keep up the excellent work and I look forward to seeing the full feature.

[SurvivalAdventureNet]

@kennydkb Will shoot a video reference this tomorow and post here.

[predcaller]

Just a suggestion Dave. Wireless mics on everyone might help, or a directional mic mounted on the camera.

[Kellett781]

a bow drill fire? Seriosly? Madness. Even durring the driest part of the years in Ohio a bow drill fire is near impossible, its not dry enough.

[WoodmanFlorida]

Looks like a tough challenge. Didn't anyone have any steel wool in their kit? Good going to anyone who stuck this out, looks like a miserable night!

[sagequan]

@WoodmanFlorida no one had a kit. all they had were knives and later found a tarp

[nerblebun]

At 4:58 I still see the two beer bottles at the base of the tree. That means you still have a beer tree on the property. What happened to the original video loaded several hours ago ?

[medicjimr]

Looks good, so far. Couldn't have be suffering that bad saw the bud lite bottles near the shelter lol

[larspkc]

@SurvivalAdventureNet

where can i find the video in the intro

[SurvivalAdventureNet]

@larspkc On this channel brother look at the video uploads

[larspkc]

@SurvivalAdventureNet

i looked and looked but couldn't find the video that belongs to the intro :(

[freebirdfb]

This is the video that I've been waiting for since its announcment during the SAN intro vidoes. So I'm waiting patiently for the full legnth vidoe.

[cbr600rrturbo]

Its 35 degrees out im in the woods. Near the fire drinkin a beer watchin this ....awesome

[TattooedLapBandLady]

I love these videos. Keep em coming!

[TOW2012]

great start. ill b counting the minutes until "mid january"

[RichTheRidgeHunter]

 They needed to work TOGETHER. TEAMWORK is so important.

[Joe55darter]

@RichTheRidgeHunter Every man for himself! Somebody has to take charge or this group will have major issues. I just wonder, is it in the "rules" that no one has any fire tools? No fire, bottom line, huddle together under the tarp and rotate every hour or so. I don't like to be wet & cold either, but a quick tap out, life don't got no tap outs!

[Joe55darter]

@jsadler14537 It would be good for everyone to know the timeframe in which things occur, but I know you're limited on keeping track of everything. It just looked like a quick tap out. I can't wait to see all of this series. As a kid, I was in a situation kind of like this with my Dad. Ours was 2 nights & 2 days, 3 days if you count the hunt day. Really, really interesting. I love this stuff!

[mtower235]

Piss on wasting energy in those conditions on trying for fire. Save that energy for the long cold night ahead. Awesome stuff and no matter the outcome I have alot of respect for folks who push themselves like this, seldom seen outside of the Military!

[ArtisanTony]

This demonstrates how we as Americans have become so use to the comforts at home that we could not survive very long in the bush. It is a wake up call for those who want to survive! Nice videos! Down and dirty!

[Sil3ntDr0ne]

This is gonna be good!

[dennislogston]

Very nice! Love these videos!
