Help!!!! My family in Teresopolis are victims of the January mudslides. All their equipment and supplies at their campsite were stolen. They have nothing but the clothes they are wearing and sleeping on cold ground without blankets. My wife's mother lost her insulin, and the cost is exhorbitan...

We are one species divided by political boundaries and living on a tiny rock that looks like a speck from a spacecraft half way to Mars. Whether we like it or not, we share this rock, and there is no other livable place within sight. I believe in the ideals of my country and admit that ...

Another fine British film. But I have done other reading about the European origin of Clovis people. Clovis points were first discovered near Clovis, New Mexico, but the highest populations of these points are in Virginia. I remember a dating of about 18,000 years. A major natural disaster for...

I understand the Clovis people are thought to be Europeans from the area of France who came across the Atlantic at the edge of the ice sheet across that ocean and arrived in present Virginia. As I have traveled the Americas, I see native people who obviously are unrelated. The natives of G...

I remember up until Interstate 80 went through our farms in 1960, there was an old bachelor farmer with 80 acres who farmed until then with a McCormick Deering 10-20 tractor with rubber tires and an F-12 with steel wheels and a 2 row cultivator. After he was forced off the farm by the highw...

I just emailed this video to 3 women in Teresopolis, Brazil, who are victims of mudslides that occurred in January 2011. They are staying at a church and trying to move into the woods. It got down to about 40 degrees(8 centrigrade) last night, and a homeless person died of hypothermia on the s...

Focus on the blessings of having a father and brother you had a loving relationship with. Not everyone is blessed with good relatives. Be thankful your father was able to live a long life. Still, I know these losses are hard and will be painful for awhile. I dearly love the King James Bi...

I looked up the book I mentioned. It is "Life After Death: The Evidence" by Dinesh D'Souza. it is about $20 at Amazon.com. Losing a loved one is hard. Grief is normal. Don't try to be stoic about it. But there is a way to understand and carry on until you meet again. There is lots of ...

Good video. I have found other videos that use 16 bricks to make a rocket stove and another to make one from wet clay. Your video shows it with stone, but you also do a good job of adding tips and advice. You always teach well. Thank you.

Very important video for my friends in Brazil to understand. They live in the mountains at an altitude of about 3000 feet, and their seasons are the opposite of here. It gets down to 60 F at night now, but it will get down to 30 soon. They bought a 4 meter by 8 meter polyester tarp($400!!!!!) ...

Yes, women are designed to be nurturers, but all animals depend on eating other living things to live. It is God's design for us. If we understand hunting and killing animals for food is nurture of our bodies, then women should be able to come to terms with hunting. Very few humans do not ...

Good defense of the King James Bible. I like it because it is so intertwined with the history and culture of the English speaking people. It was the Bible of Washington, Lincoln, and Calvin, and it was the predominant Protestant Bible of my youth. The language is very poetic, and so many gre...

I live near Amish people and meet them when I go to farm auctions. I respect them for their beliefs and lifestyles. However, if we were all Amish, there would be no military defense of the country. I believe they are an important part of our society by reminding the rest of us the importa...

I am trying to help 3 women in Teresopolis, Brazil, who were made homeless by a mudslide in January. They are currently living at a church and in the woods. I am trying to interest them in a specialty woodworking business starting with non-electric tools and a government funded micro-loan,...

I have sent your video to 3 women staying at a church in Teresopolis, Brazil. The mudslide occurred last January, and the government is not really doing anything for them until next January. I have helped them get an ax, knife, machete, hoe, saw, tarp and other things. Now they are spending a...

I know 3 women in Teresopolis, Brazil, who are victims of a mudslide last January. They are living in the woods and at a Catholic church. They nearly died in a river of mud and boulders. I am sending them videos like yours to help them make things for themselves, but also to give them som...

I am trying to help 3 women who were made homeless by rare mudslides in Teresopolis, Brazil last January. They have been staying at a church, but now the church is no longer serving food(rice and beans). They are now moving into the surrounding woods. It is not for fun. It is for basic surviv...

Bushcraft is fascinating. It helps me realize how intelligent and creative our ancestors were to survive without farms, cities, or factories. I think bushcraft skills and knowledge should be part of any basic education, along with reading, writing, arithimetic, and reasoning. The world is cris...

I'm sure glad I know English. The English language records and communicates more information than any other. Most of the books, software, movies, TV programs, music, and YouTube videos are in English than any other language by a country mile. I am not knocking other languages. I am for learn...

I can see why friction fire starting can be frustrating, but this video carefully explains the process. Thank you very much for your unselfishness in sharing your experiences. I see from YouTube that bushcraft is quite popular in Britain. A lot of the really good videos come from your country.

Good explanation of a very important survival tool. Starch is the main food of the human race, and roots are a source of starch that is available even when plants are dormant. I tried some burdock and dandelion roots recently. Not bad with a little seasoning.

The 3 women I am trying to help in Teresopolis, Brazil are in a real life or death struggle for survival. Government aid has not been coming because hundreds of thousands of people have been made homeless and destitute by record floods in the country. These are educated middle class city women,...

Your videos are very educational and help me inform my sweetheart in Teresopolis, Brazil about how to survive until help arrives. These 3 women have been staying at a church shelter for 5 months, but the food supply has dried up. They now have a .22 semi-automatic rifle, a machete, heavy ho...

One thing I like about your presentations is your humility. I am amused at some of these young bucks on YouTube showing off their survival rifle that they bought last night and acting like they are some kind of expert because they can repeat the sales pitch. It is quite an accomplishment to go...

Thank you for the great idea of a metal coffee can or something with nail holes in it. I wouldn't have thought of this simple idea. As far as showering in winter, you could make a small teepee and heat it with a campfire. I don't understand all the sarcasm. It reminds me of how people act in ...

I am sending this video to friends in Teresopolis, Brazil who are mudslide victims last January and are staying at a church. The church is out of food, so I am trying to encourage them to find their needs in the surrounding forest. Teresopolis is 1500 feet above sea level near Rio de Janeiro. ...

More videos with your suggestions for an outdoor shower, privy, beds, picnic table, food storage, or anything else that might be useful for a semi-permanent campsite for homeless people would be appreciated. Your demonstrations are some of the best I have seen on YouTube. I have gotten other i...

I am selling a piece of farm machinery next week to finance my friends' campsite. They have been staying at a church shelter since January, but the church has now run out of food. The homelessness problem in Brazil is huge. In late April, 35,000 more were made homeless in southern Brazil fr...

Thank you very much for this documentary. I understand the story of Gerson much better now. I agree with everything.
