I just did a winter survival FTX with my regular militia group. One of our senior members is an EMT and firefighter, so he put together a PowerPoint presentation on winter survival, hypothermia, building shelter, etc. It was excellent. The conditions we faced in central Ohio were very similar to what you have in the vid. Winter survival, especially if you are on the move, is very difficult! You might want to consider making a vid on how to create shelter in a winter survival/E&E situation.

Thanks. It's funny you say that. I've just been appointed the survival instructor for the Northern Connecticut Constitutional Milita. I will be doing a presentation on Sun. I will also be training guys out in the field. For the students to graduate we will be spending two nights in the woods with very basic kit. I will be doing vids throught the whole process.

Congrats on being appointed Survival Instructor!

By the way starting a fire in snow isn't that hard...but I live in Canada.... =)

[ryanjcus]

For you and I it may not be hard.....but for many people it's difficult to start a fire in ideal conditions.

You wouldnt get shot by me unless you were considered a threat to my life or loved ones. Plain and simple. I have morals and values. I wouldnt post these free helpful videos if I had malicious intent. Cannot speak for others and what they would do though.

[Boomrod]

chances are if SHTF if you run into this guy you'll get shot. realisticly.. its everyone for themselves.. that's why preparing yourself for the worst is probably your best bet.

the camera didn't survive :p

Getting late you say, getting dark soon so you're going to be "heading back soon". Why? Practice being out there with little to no prep, you know, as if you have no place to "get back' to... Build that shelter dude!

Great Vid.

Any suggestions on how to heat a home when firewood is scarce, not being smart, asking a sincere question. Are there solar panels that don't require electric? Need input. Thanks.

@unclearless The road was a movie I thought was a close approximation to the potential issues we may be facing. I think the first five years will weed out all the crazy rambo types and also the unmotivated and unprepared. At this tipping point the survivalists will be of reasonable character and not prone to robbing and raping their way forward. A need and a longing for friendship, companionship and cooperation may in fact lead to a stable humanity, not seen since 3013 BC.
