@BravoAlphaLimaJR There are inherent risks in everything we do, you could sprain an ankle climbing up a hill or going down one, we could get creamed by a car while crossing the street or cut ourselves while carving and that is why survival skills are just that: skills. They take practice, converting what might be perceived as reckless into a skilled action. If I don't use my hands for fear of sustaining an injury than I might as well not have them. Practice leads to skill.

@BravoAlphaLimaJR I have been carving since I was first handed a knife at age five and never needed a stitch due to knife a injury. I have learned how to safely carve towards myself and while I don't recommend it for novices, I do teach these techniques to advanced wood-carvers. As with many tasks, there are levels of control gained with experience that to the beginner look dangerous, but in the hands of the skilled are quite safe and used often and effectively.

No organization in the beginning doomed them. Too many guys standing around doing nothing and getting wet. Should have had designated men working on the fire from the moment they got there. Another group gathering wood and another shelter building.

@Deriust I would really like to see your films my brother has a disability.

Dave can you let me know what kind of camcorder you are using because I see it has good lighting for night and it has a good mic. I am looking for something similar. Can you recommend anything?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Is it illegal to bring a lighter? for peat sakes

i would have appointed someone to lead then assesed what we had taken ideas then put them to practice to many people jumping straight in. then they split building two different shelters they should have worked as a team.

I had a good idea who the secret survival instructor was, but I'm not sure I would have fared any better than these guys did. I don't have any decent cold weather clothing that would have been helpful in this situation. And I have never started a fire with either a bow drill or a broken flashlight before. But, watching these guys and seeing Dave point out their mistakes is helpful, so I think I'm a little better off after seeing this video than I was beforehand. Awesome video.

Is it the rain or is the camera man going beserk on the buttons?

@SuperBRONSON21 we did. we also used it to store our food.

these guys where no good i would have been looking far and wide for resources and perhaps a shelter they where like sheep standing around
