Uke, Scotch? Comfort items. Public park in view of your truck? So what! You bought ten items, you camped. I survived a stroke in Nov 2015. Now my legs barely work and accomplishing what you did is a stretch for me. The $10 "Survival" challenge isn't. Its an overnight camp out. Its fun, and anyone who thinks its more than that takes it, and themselves, too seriously. Good for you scoring the spork and the tent pegs. Sorry about the poison ivy ;) Thanks for the songs! I used to make my living playing guitar and now I'd love to play but the hands don't cooperate.) I hope to meet you in a park someday! I'll bring the scotch :)

You're one of the only people I've seen actually go camping with the dollar store gear. Good on you. I guess I'm sub #11.

I loved your ukelele performance, sounded soulful and real. Thanks

I enjoyed your $10 challenge Bob and I really liked the music, nice voice.

The liner is heat cured at 200C. The pasturisation tempuratures are typically 121C. Boiling happens at 100C. The only link to human health and BPA in science is the possibility of obesity, no other metric shows it to be toxic. I'd say you were fine in using the can to cook in. Using found items like a spork is in no way cheating. You would have found a branch and used the knife to make a spoon had you not, the outcome is the same. Of course nothing you brought is waterproof at all, not since you took it out of the bag. I'd like to see you do this again, with "lessons learned from the last time".

Loved your challenge! love the music and your voice! Just subbed!

I like your video and your music. I read through the comments and there are some judgey people out there. I loved the funny comments. The fact that you foraged for things like the spork is real because after all wouldn't we all be looking for things to make life easier in an emergency situation. I subscribed and I hope you decide to make more videos.

Dude im literally in my hammock in the woods right now, my phone was propped up against my ukulele to watch this video, i turned away to set up my little stove and make a cup of instant coffee, and you pulled out your uke and literally sang about coffee omg it made me laugh, i guess im not the only dork in the woods lol

I’ll buy a cd or iTunes from you! I love the words and tunes! Keep it up boss! Doin great things!

U can take the label off the can of soup an put the can right in the fire an use a couple of sticks to get the can safely out of the fire

apart from the wind noise a very nice video i enjoyed it

Watching this and laughing at the wind; it's always like that in KS, lol!

You're so funny. Best $10 survival I've seen so far

I just got back from the dollar store. I saw some of the things he bought and I saw others that I would have swapped. He asked if using the spork was against the rules. He scavenged it the same way he got the rocks so yes, it is within the "rules".

I'm watching this 2 months after the video was posted and it's still colder here.

only thing I would do different.. is when you made your coffee..I would have heated water first..if it tipped, then you loose your coffee, ..better to loose the water first if anything has to go..lol

Hint: If you've got loads of matches, don't dick around strike them six or eight at a time.

You earned a sub from me. Nice editing, good knowledge and skills, foraging was interesting, and you played some great music. Also one of the few people who actually camped with the gear and didn't just assemble a kit like a lot of other channels. Really great, please make more Edit: you could have made a grill out of the tent pegs (stabbing them into some green wood as a frame) to toast up your pop-tarts a little but that's the only big missed opportunity I saw

That was fun to watch!

I'm at 8:24 and dont want to watch anymore...because of the bag. I just really am not interested in watching him ignore it anymore when it would have been so easy to pick up his trash. I know he said he went back and got it but I'd have preferred to seen it before this point. To each there own but as for me...not subbed and not watching 40+ more minutes. No offense meant just sharing 1 viewers opinion.

I'd have got coffee too...morale, caffeine & increases core temperature, brews as we called them in the British Army are important...but for 24 hours food I don't think some pop tarts & soup are adequate, not for me at least. So I'd have got a canned meal instead, I'm in the UK but looked on Dollartrees website, they have loads of hearty meals in cans, like ravioli, beef stew, spaghetti & meatballs, chicken & rice, or chicken & dumplings, so I'd have got 1 of those. For breakfast/snacks or even eating some with main meal I'd go for crackers - particularly like the look of peanut butter sandwich crackers, or possibly cookies - oatmeal cookies perhaps the most nutritious and probably you could boil them down in water to make porridge, guessing they contain sugar - or even nuts/trail mix which is one of the highest calorie foods out there, with lots of protein and healthy fats. That's just me though bro! Respect & liked your vid. Edit; Noticed it's only 24 hours so you only need 1 main meal; also I'd be a bit wary of using tins (cans) to cook in as they tend to have a plastic lining so since I wouldn't have bought a torch/flashlight *fire would have to do for night lighting) I'd buy a container...well Dollartree are a bit limited there but probably I'd go for metal mixing bowl, or maybe rectangular baking dish.

Great Vid! However, please be careful when picking cans of food if you intend to heat your food in them... most have a plastic lining that is extremely dangerous when heated because it leeches into your food... j/s

Hi! Okay so far I'm into your video @ 6:29min,and you have yet to consider retrieving the plastic bag before the wind blows it into the trees and next county...?? Anyhoo,it could be used for gathering leaves and small detritus for your fire making,or,as a rain hat,tourniquet, tying something,thinking more uses...:-)So,back to the vid,and yeah,crazy weather this year in S.W.Ia!!

Why didn't you pick up the plastic bag that is disgusting

You cheated..only 10 items..

You did one of the worse things a camper or bushcrafter could do. You let your store bag blow away and just shrugged your shoulders. Even if you own the land you never, ever leave your trash. You fail

$10 Dollar Store Challenge take-away. 1. The ukulele, harmonica, & whiskey were not dollar store items and were not found items. They were comfort items that should not have been taken for the challenge. 2. You should definitely be more aware of your surroundings and clean up as you go. Though you claim (per another comment) that you left the area cleaner than you found it, the bag in the beginning could VERY easily have gotten away from you because you didn't even TRY to retrieve it past a passive lean-after, even after stopping filming for that segment and starting your build. 3. The vine usage was smart, but had you not had them, you should really learn how to double-wrap or quadruple-wrap your twine. You had enough of it to make it strong. 4. A shower curtain liner or similar item may have been smaller in size, but definitely would have been stronger. I would have put the plastic under me and then over the ridgeline instead of over both sides. 5. The other found item you never showed, the metal tent stakes, could have been used as a cooking surface for your can and/or toasting your pop tarts. Stick them into the ground to form a circle (or as close to it as you can manage) with the bent tops all facing inward. Then just place your items to be cooked on top.

Thanks, all good points. Interesting that the vine turned out to be poison ivy. I had learned to make twine into rope when I was in boy scouts but since the vine was there I took the easy faster solution. I really did take a lot of trash away from the area, including what I brought. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I hope your comments help someone reading them. Bob

Sorry bud but thumbs down for not retrieving that carrier bag as soon as it got caught in the wind..
