My Alaska Survival Trip With Bare Essentials Part 1 of 3

This is a couple of overnighter trips I went on. The only things I took with me that I don't always have on me was a bow saw blade which I made into a Bucksaw once out there, and my 12 Gauge shotgun for bear protection. I had my sheath knife which I always have with me when I'm not in church or at work. On my knife sheath I carry about 3-4 feet of paracord. I also have a "Survival bracelet which had about 6 feet of paracord and I always wear 24 hours a day. I did this trip to show that if you learn the skills that are on my channel that it isn't at all difficult to survive in the wilderness. I could survive without the saw blade or the knife but it would take MUCH longer to get set up and to be living fairly well. I was only going to be gone a couple days and so to speed things up I allowed myself those luxuries. I always have my knife with me anyway. I encountered quite a bit of wildlife and of course the beautiful Alaska scenery that surrounds me is in the video. Hope you enjoy.

@dartmoorwolf thank you.  Me and my wife do enjoy living here and having raised our family here as well.

IS a 12 gage enough for a bear?

[phreshayr]

@Bently100 Yes I believe a 12 gauge loaded with slugs will kill a bear.  They are NOT a good gun for hunting bear at typical hunting distances. Against bear they are only good up close as a self preservation gun. I have full confidence in mine since it is short and a pistol grip. Much less likely to hang up on brush when trying to get it quick into firing position. Do a search using these terms--"12 gauge bear fish and game" and you will see that the Ak F&G recommends a 12 gauge.

I gotta say, you make it look easy. I'd love to do that but carry a little more like a canteen and a snack

@survivalkiing Thanks. It's really not too difficult but does take a bit of time to get a warm camp setup. Thanks for watching.
