Left my yak traks behind when I went into the woods the other day. Normally I’d have worn snowshoes but the trail was well established and packed down so I left them behind as well and I remember thinking “I should probably be wearing some yak traks” but never took the time to put them on. I was pulling a jet sled behind me with a chainsaw, gas can, and two axes and slipped on an icy patch and landed with the full force of my weight on the side of the jet sled. Thankfully all my tools had a sheath of some sort so no major cuts but i did manage to break a rib. That likely wouldn’t have happened if I had been wearing the yak traks or snowshoes. I was reminded the hard way that a little situational awareness and taking the time to gear up for the conditions goes a long way toward keeping you safe and healthy. Lesson learned!

lol. I love that you keep the mess ups in the video. Very entertaining and awesome work on explaining your kit, very logical approach.

Keeping the bloopers in is such an advantage. A real guy who f"s up occasionally.

I take my Fat wood and break it down to the size of a pencil. I have an old wall mounted pencil sharpener and I will use it to shave the fat wood down to get shavings for fire starter. Vacuum seal it and throw it in my fire kit for emergencies.

Thanks for leaving in the blooper outtakes. It's good to see that even great men have small flaws especially when it's cold weather brain freeze. I laughed so hard at the chapstick application. Love the sense of humor. Thanks for all your hard work on these videos. God bless!

I respect a guy with a humble attitude and a good sense of humor. We just can't take ourselves too seriously, because we're only human. Very informative video, by the way. I'm going to watch it again and jot down some notes.

Since you have avoided answering any of my questions a further question somewhat arises as to why I should care to answer yours?

Love your videos. Would really like to see a video discussing bugging out as a family with children. It’s really hard to find content on this that is helpful and not just pointing out all of the challenges of “bugging out” with young children. Your style of teaching and sharing information is so effective. Would love to hear your thoughts on the topic.

thanks again for taking the time to put out another informative video.

My grandfather just turned 94 years old and he's told me stories of when he was a kid in the 30's how the adults would go out on the river and cut ice so the ferry could cross. He said nothing pissed a man off more then when they lost a axe when chopping through the ice and it slipping out of their hands and into the depths of the river never to be seen again.

Josh I love your sense of humor! Thank you for all the good information!

Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work! Much love from Switzerland

Thanks for the wisdom sir...I appreciate the knowledge for winter survival.

great info.thank you.always enjoy your sessions

I love the way you explain why you made the choices you did, most other KZreads don’t explain their gear decisions properly

Thanks for the advice and keep up the great videos love them all

Love your videos. You keep things simple and straight forward. No nonsense other than good humor. 😃

Great video! Love the out takes! Too funny! Keep 'em coming as you can.

Sir, you rock. Thank you for your efforts

Love the b/w bloopers.😄 Great editing & content!

Great stuff! I like the "kit" approach of having specific kinds of gear all grouped together for organization.

Much thanx for the vid. Lovin’em I like the way the yous put in the bloopers.

You’re hilarious when you’re cold. Thanks for another awesome video.

Haven't watched a lot of videos lately. Glad you are well, and still doing your thing. S.F. Have fun keeping your skills sharp. Stay strong my brother.

Thank you for the lesson!

Outstanding

Great knowledge as usual. Thanks brother

Good idea to keep the Sawyer water filter near your body in cold conditions, if it freezes it can compromise the integrity of the filter.

@GrayBeardedGreenBeret

I don't use or recommend filters in the winter

@MobileAura

3 жыл бұрын

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret I personally don’t recommend filters that are sub reverse osmosis for any uses other than life or death. The chance to encounter polluted water is incredibly high, regardless of if they filter down to .1 microns and kills most virus/bacteria, the heavy metals/hexavalents are much more of a concern. Having a Sawyer or 5 is crucial for sure but only on SHTF or life or death. That frozen lake water could have gotten toxic waste dumped into it, it’s not “fresh” in any sense.

"I can't even insult myself right now...." O Lord,how I laughed. Great additions for a winter bug out bag. Larger ferro rod is a great idea. Tough to use a small one when you have to wear gloves,to keep your hands functional.

Thank you for showing us the proper way to apply burts in a tacticold environment!!!!

Great info GBGB

Very good. Thank you very much

I love your mega match. I add a couple of strike anywhere into to bundle to make it easier to light.

great vids thx

Love the included "out takes" ...... lol! Shows you are as human as the rest of us!

Great video as always. Thanks for mentioning the chapstick because it's the kind of thing one could overlook, not thinking it's too important and then be regretting it every miserable minute. Edit: I guess you can tell what I forgot once.

Great video and information , thanks for sharing , God bless !

Love it!

Last survival video I watched and all the exotac items were sold out. I finally found a match to keep my cigar lit! I think I edited this as many times as you had bloopers

Rock on brother!

Mt man here good advice from this man 👍👍

Thank you Sir

Hi Josh...this is a great video! Thank you very much for sharing your tips! I live in the higher elevations of the San Juan Mountains of Colorado down by Ouray/Silverton/Telluride. One could argue that even in the summer here, at night, you are approaching deadly temps and such. The terrain is treacherously steep (due to avalanche danger in the winter) and the snow can really be deep. So, I've set our get away areas more over in the high mountain desert of UT. The temps are still cold at night, but we won't be wasting efforts to move through 5 feet of snow. This video is a good reminder that I REALLY need to make a pulk sled!! Have a great weekend! DOL

Good stuff!

Thanks

I liked the video. New words and all. 😊

Second video into this channel on a long rabbit hole of survival and the lip balm/lighter necklace did it. About spit my beer out at the acting. Subbed.

putting the lip balm on was priceless. Awesome videos.

Fascinating 👍

Blooper reel, Alright!!!👍

Damn those bloopers were funny as hell! laughed my ass off! I love this channel.......informative as well as entertaining!

Head smack!!!! The pre-shaved fatwood...brilliant sir!

Good info, made me laugh. Thanks!

the dry humor is great, add more.

Would love to see a video on how you pack all this gear plus clothes, food, etc into a pack. I always end up packing too much, somehow.

In winter I tend to switch up axe size, from folding saw, large knife or hatchet to a real axe. And I tend to switch to knives with hidden tangs from full broad tangs to loose less heat using them barehanded. I also tend to switch to a larger saw. Also sweather gets thicker and double bd so on. Boots geta bigger, socka geta bigger. Most things gets bigger.

The corkscrews on your "Swiss Army" knife is great for prying rope knots apart!

That lip balm application shot though :D

I would add a small hand size whisp broom to keep snow off clothes and gear for staying dry. Small one fits in a pocket easy accessable, otherwise every time snow is brushed off clothes it gets gloves wet. Especially useful while navigating and falling down and tree limb dumps snow are a given time and time again. Always a critical moment for winter camp is what is my situation at night fall....am I dry.

hahahaha - the lip balm application and lapel pop had me. very good

Great loadout brother beats our old loadout lol

Thats a NICE jacket.

Another cold weather staple item are Fox River Polypropylene sock liners.

HAHAHA!!!! The duck lips with the lip balm made me wonder if he was about to unleash a comedy bit! Haha

Great kit run down. Love the added bloopers. Gotta keep those lips supple LOL

Lent from the dryer in a ziplock bag is a great source of tender.

I figured you'd built that picnic table with an axe and carving knife, put it together with pegs and cattail fiber bindings out in the woods... ; )

4:53 keep keeping it natural lol,my man thank you for being such a wealth of information, I very much appreciate your content I.

If your brain stops working in this "warm" weather wait till its -40°F....lol... great video GBGB! Keep the bloopers! a little humor goes a long way.

If you dont have fat wood. Collect your dryer lent and keep it dry. I use a watertight prescription bottle. It worked for me.

Might I add 2 recommendations? Look for "Ice Trekkers" to replace the YakTrax. I've used them for several years now, more aggressive treads. Second is the Adventure Medical Heat Sheet, the 2 person size in place of the Mylar space blankets. Much harder to rip, I have at least one in every type of kit. I climbed My Marcy in 2011 and wound up doing an overnight wrapped in one. Worked very well. Just some suggestions, stay warm

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the Australian backpack bed used by a lot of the Australian SAS.

The snow shovel you have is a good one, great for avalanche rescue since you can turn it into a hoe. I use a Black Diamond "Deploy" as it collapses down very small. If you want to DIY an ice chipper, a 3' long 1/2" steel nipple works great. You weld a chisel point on one end. Leave the thread on the other. Weld a 1/2" pipe coupler to a piece of 1" EMT that's about 6" shorter overall than your pipe with the chisel end. To use it, screw the pipe nipple into the EMT. When you're done, unscrew it, flip the EMT over, insert the pipe nipple into and screw it into the back side of the couple. Now your chipper is 1/2 its assembled length. Drill the EMT on the end opposite of the coupler for a lanyard loop that's long enough to tie off to yourself when you're using it so you don't lose it down the hole.

I like your candor. Keep it natural.

Use the candor weeks to keep it nappy.
