clearly you've never tried to sleep with 30 of the buggers right next to your house. my father eventually got so pissed that he was out at 3 am collecting frogs in a bucket and tossing them into a different pond

I love your videos! I was honestly surprised though about this series that you never mentioned 2 CRITICAL things and how to deal with them. 1. Chiggers. When you pile all of those leaves in your hooch, you are bound to get ticks and chiggers. Those can sicken you with "Rocky Mountain Spottted Feaver" and/or Lime Disease. In the Army I was taught never to pile leaves as insulation without first "smoking" them to get rid of those bugs and others like the brown recluse spider (which have a tissue destroying bite). But maybe you know some better technique and just didn't mention it. 2. Poison ivy, oak, and sumac. These plants can bring you hell by bringing itching and puss weeping boils all over your skin just from touching and handling them. In the Eastern Northwoods like the Appalachian they are EVERYWHERE and I would NEVER go barefooted. Anyway, just thought I would pass this along in case you had not learned about those concerns. We can all learn from each other. Keep up the great work.

Brother your level of outdoor survival knowledge combined with your low key demeanor and clear and concise way of explaining your thought process, what you're doing and why , is pretty friggin awesome! I just stumbled on this and I am thoroughly impressed and truly inspired. I was wondering where you learned all these amazing survival techniques? I'm totally inspired to follow in your footsteps and take some survival training classes and see how well i could hack it in the wild. Thanks for taking the time to make these amazingly entertaining and informative videos! :-)

This guy really knows what he is doing. If the Apocolypse hits, I want this guy to be my survival leader.

Finally a guy who does things right and not with 10 ppl and the help or a camera crew!!!!

I'm a combat boot guy so bare feet in the woods scream out "injury opportunity" but otherwise this was one of the best real bushcraft survival videos I have seen. Definitely gives me some tips to take away on my own excursions. Great job!

Cool, thanks very much. Been going out in the woods barefoot since I was a kid so its all good. But i hear you, not for everyone.

This is true survival. No fancy tools just a knife and no camera crew.

I don't think I've ever watched a part 1 and part 2 video together, without pausing or fast forwarding. Thess videos were so much appreciated. I will tell people about your videos for sure Thank you!

this is so much better than bear grylls, getting kinda sick of all that running jumping and climbing when all i wanna do is to learn how to survive properly.

If I ever get lost in the wild, I hope I bump into you mate. Great knowledge, great video.

If I knew a bit more about weaving fibres and edible plants in my area, I’d totally give this a go.

That bark basket is on another level.

Why you don't have a million subscribers is beyond me! You're truly blessed in the knowledge you share with us!

Very impressive. I watched the first part after seeing the video for months now. I am glad I took the time to check it out. What's amazing to me is that you didn't start with an implied or specific mission to use or not use gear. It took me a while before I realized that all you have is your large folding knife and a ton of skills and knowledge. I see this casual, relaxed dude walking around barefoot, simple clothing and providing for all his needs. Brilliant.

Are you in scouting? I would recommend that if you aren't in it yet. It's a lot of fun, and you do learn a lot of skills. (Including Wilderness Survival.)

Tom kicks ass his show is not about surviving in the wild its about actually living in the wild.AWESOME VIDEOS😄😃😀😊☺😉

Being saw many survivalist experts .. I'd have to say this bloke is .. in a word .. 'efficient'. He is very efficient in his practices and in his undertakings out there. He doesn't try major things out there .. he doesn't get elaborate ... but what he does or makes serves it's purpose and works very well. There is no energy or time wasted. It's just enough to serve..without any mess.. or excess .. It serves it's purpose and then he moves on to the next task (and that is the right way to approach these situations). His calm demeanor also helps him cope. Excellent survivalist.

Just watching makes me need a nap. Do you ever just stop and take a nap?? This is all amazing I need to watch again and take notes!

This is great. Way better than most shows that were on tv

Everyone that make survivor videos usually shows you how to make a shelter the things that you are concentrating on are welcomed I hope you continue to show how to survive by making snares traps fishing baskets and other needed skills your videos appreciated

I like how you were smart enough to know squirrel were watching

Well done!

It's been said before, but I have to say it again : you're awesome ! Seriously... you're richer than most, just by knowing how to survive with absolutely nothing.

This was amazing. !!Even though I’m a Grandmother you never know when you might need these great skills. Learning something NEW everyday :)

"I can't spend 12 hours sitting in my debris hut everyday."

Love the videos. Straight to the point, sped up where necessary, cool attitude and no drama. Thumbs up!

It’s amazing how the algorithm brought this channel to me so recently. Interesting times we live in

I enjoy watching your videos more any other survivalist. The way you teach is straight forward and easy to understand. Thanks and blessings to you...

Sleeping to that ambiance would've been amazing! Soul healing stuff!

I've learned more from your part one and two video than I have watching other survival videos over the past year.

Been watching survival shows for ever, you are the best by miles!!!

Tommy you're like... my new favorite person. Aka who I want to be like. Great work! Great mentality! Thank you!

Very impressive , best survivalist skills I’ve seen yet

Great series bro. I just learned a bunch of skills I didn't even know I needed. You make it look so easy but we all know that comes from a ton of trial and error and years of knowledge. It pays to know your wild eatables too. I always dream of going out and enjoying nature like this and then I remember how much I like my tarp, sleeping bag/bivy, food and cook kit. LOL. But I always learn a couple things that will help me come back home safe in the event my gear fails. Thanks again for a great video.

Tom has exceptional skills and learning and practicing primitive living skills has definitely got it's place. However, the average person should never enter the wilderness unprepared, and by prepared I mean with shelter, a metal container, at least 3 methods of making fire, a good sturdy fixed blade knife, some way to signal for rescue and some food. The skills Tom is showing here take a lifetime to learn and perfect, and though Tom makes them look very easy, I'm sure he's the first to admit they are not, and in a true survival situation relying on them and failing can be the difference between surviving or not.

This guy really is the best.. Do not be fooled by comparing video editing skills. If anything happens, find this guy.

One of the best videos on survival I have found on the net. Job well done.

I love this! I actually could surr vice in my own back yard because we practically live in the wilderness. I love all of these cool facts and I never knew about all of this cool stuff Awesome video!

Amazing survival skillz, You should publish a book on it.

Man, not only do you show us how to survive, your teaching us how to LIVE there as well! Cant believe im just now finding your vids, these are great!

This is so cool. Can honestly say you've changed my life with these videos. I'm very interested in learning these skills.

I saw both parts. I would die of hunger and cold after a week while Tom builds a casino next to his three floor house (right next to the fish bistro).

Absolutely loved the two parts, should do something like this again😀

He just made a backpack out of bark. Amazing!!

holy molly i need to go outdoors and feel whats its like to survive !

I learned more here then all the time i spent camping. Great video can't wait to make the survival shelter for the first time!

How can you dislike this? Amazing video. Keep it going!

Great video. Surely one of the most practical survival videos that I have seen teaching you the essentials that an average person can manage.

He made a whole damn apartment with a view 🤣

Society will need this one day....one day.

That bark basket was one of the coolest survival hacks I've seen. Awesome work bro!!

I went into the woods behind my subdivision but I didn't see you so I gave up, lol. Seriously though, post apocalypse, can you be our king so we can get civilization started back up ASAP?

Thank you for this :). The info in this is the difference between life and death when the system comes down. Humans are too decadent, most are pure consumers. Times will be hard once the flow of life is damed by technological devolution. People like you will rise above the old kings and queens to reconquer the world. Humans will finally gain back their humanity. Dont die or give up. Rage rage on into the night.

I've always wanted to live off the grid, j had basic understanding of how to survive how to make fire, how to hunt craft a bow etc. You've taught me so many new skills and techniques I'll have to try the next time I'm camping for a while

Well done, one of the best survival videos I have seen.

I'm motivated by this, to actually get out and live it. I love the format and general presentation, and I'd like to learn more about plant identification. Thank you

Can you make a survival series pleeeeeeeeaaase!!! I love your videos it is soooooo informative and entertaining.

I hope you will make more videos for us to see. I liked and subscribed to your channel as well. Looking forward to more from you. Thanks, Terry.........

Over the years I've watched many videos like this but I must say this series was among the BEST, thank you for sharing this!

Wow you really know your stuff. I'm 33, ive always loved watching survival shows and I learned a lot from your vids. Thank you for taking the time to make them. You do great work.

This is so cool. These are skills that I thought I would never need to know. If I ever get caught in the wild I’ll think back to this video. Great video, I love it.

Very attractive style of life ! May I suggest you get a lavaliere microphone so that the sound doesn't change everytime you are close or far from the camera. Plus that would be great if you write down some stuff on the editing, like the name of the plantes you ate, or other stuff you used ... Thanks man !! Keep it up :-)

I spent over half my life tracking, running and sneaking around in more different woods around the world chasing others. Now after watching you armed with a folding knife.... I see I still have a lot to learn. Thanks for opening my eyes. I'm a retired grand father now but I may be contacting you for some instruction. thanks. Ohtahay!

no metal! no METAL at all since the first part. but A KNIFE it's truly AWESOME! THANK YOU TOM
