In a true stranded/emergency situation where you didn’t have a filter, the tarp water is preferable to the creek water for sure. But if you’ve got a filter and aren’t truly stranded there’s no way I’d drink water runoff just for a KZread video 😆

All those "overnight bird droppings"...I guess birds don't poop in the creek? What about fish poop, raccoon poop? Maybe just admit you made a mistake. In an ACTUAL survival situation, with no other options, tarp water for sure.

So glad to see you feeling good enough to be back at it. Thanks

Happy to be your company on your adventures.

Great video. I'd have drank that rain water that pooled on your tarp before hitting the creek. No sense wasting good rain water!

So glad you pointed out trapping isn't profitable anymore. To make 3,000 dollars a month you would need 1000 of those raccoons. That is hard to do even if they were overpopulated in that area. Everyone farms everything now. It is just the cheapest and most efficient way to do it.

Thanks for the video WB

Absolutely love the long form survival videos!!!

Raccoons were considered food in the old days. As long as you remove the musk glands it taste pretty good when baked with sweet potatoes

Best way I have found to prepare Raccoon: Boil it tender, then either cook with tomato juice and canned veggies or pan fry it. essentially cooking it twice. Good eating.

If the water is questionable in a stream like that, you can go 4 to 5 feet from it and dig a hole and wait. The water that seeps into that will be cleaner

What temperature is considered cold enough for the meat to be okay to sit out overnight?

@TheWoodedBeardsman

22 күн бұрын

10C and below, I would say that would be ok. Beaver. muskrat in cold water is fine up to 25C, fur on, no damage to the pelt. Deer up to 10-20C overnight in shade, cleaned and packed right away....BUT, this may spoil in direct sunlight. You really need to use your nose, and judgement, and everything after matters, meat needs to be eaten right away or frozen. As it will begin to spoil as soon as you open it up, provide it with any air. If the meat just falls apart when you touch it...even if it smells ok, it's not. Time after meat spoils is crucial, because it's not the meat that's the problem, it's the BACTERIA which is literally pooping out toxins on the meat that is the problem - even if you cook it, the toxins are still there, and they will cause you problems.
