Yep, and the objective was to find as many uses for the items in the box. Oregonmike thought I wouldnt find any use for the fish. I showed him, lol. Thanks for watching my friend.

Now that sounds like some really good survival training. To me, getting lost with gear is no big deal. Losing a backpack could get serious. Breaking one leg or having use of one arm is very serious. I think eveyone would benefit from practicing camping that way. Im glad you liked the video, everyone I talk to here on youtube seems just like old friends to me too. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks War, I have been told hundreds of times in the past that kids hit a certain age and they want nothing to do with their parents. Nick is only 14 and I can kinda sense him wanting to do his own thing. He has spent plenty of good times in the woods with me so if it slacks up a little bit for a few years I guess I can handle it. I love being able to put on video all the fun and nutty things I do in the woods for fun. I hope it makes others want to do the same. Thanks for watching my friend.

Im glad you liked it. I can absolutely say this was 100% Mikes idea so he gets all the credit. Nick and I just got to have all the fun. It was a great trip that I'll never forget. Thanks for watching my friend.

A nice way to get challenged !!Again I had fun watching you improvise.Thanx!

My son and I had a fantastic time on this one. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.

I bet I had as much fun watching this as you had making it! Like watching kids open Christmas presents, except when Nick took the machete, that was like Santa gave you a lump of coal instead. LOL

@BraveTheWilds I love doing these type videos, they put all the fun back into youtube. Theres only so much stuff you can do with what nature supplies but, bringing a box full of junk into the woods opens up a whole new world of fun. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. The idea was all credited to OregonMike. It was a very very fun trip for sure. It makes you start thinking instead of just knowing your own gear. Thanks for watching my friend.

OK, about 1/4 into this I found out that "Mike" supplied way too much stuff for this Georgia southern reared country boy. Really, the knife he brought was very large! (machete not needed). Now into the 1/3 to 1/2 of this I know this is true. SPAM, rope, plastic, water, knife of my choice, stove, COFFEE, and RICE! Come on, this should have been a 2 day challenge at least for this guy. I think reallybigmonkee1 did a great job... although I would have done this for the ruck sack alone... would like to know where this came from, really nice. Nick... very nice job, always enjoy you guys videos and will check out Mike's. BTW, I butcher the English language a lot, but then i love to.

Well the stark reality of it is a person can be in the woods for several days with absolutely nothing and survive and walk out alive. Thats boring tho and this is KZread. Mike wanted to make a fun challenge.

I love your sense of humor and your accent .love camping but is to late for me I'm 72 and I lost my love of my life and every thing stop but I'm come with you every time and make the shelter but I got 3 room tent don't stop make videos I live in Sacramento 1 hour from the Sierra Nevada tankyou

Thanks! This was a pretty cool idea of Oregonmike. It was a ton of fun because I didnt know what to expect. Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.

I'm glad you liked it. This was a very very fun video for me. Thanks for watching my friend.

Yep, fun is the name of the game in my book! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.

5 times? Man, how cool! I gotta say, I didnt freeze or starve but , this was one of the most fun ones I'd went on. It was a blast. Not so much as a bare bones survival but more of a, see how much improvising I can do. Thanks for watching my friend.

You can survive quite nice if you got a box full of junk almost anywhere. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. More videos are planned and in the works. It just takes me forever to find free time to film them. Thanks for watching my friend.

This was the first time I had seen one like it. I love it and will probably try to get more some day. Thanks for watching my friend.

@TheMiwoodsman Cool, I wish I could relive this one again, Ha Ha. There just isnt enough fun stuff going on in the world today. Its all work work, busy busy. I loved making this trip and video with my son. Thanks for the comments, and thank you for watching my friend.

Hey thats good to know in case I want to get another one. I love that pack. Its very handy for quick hikes. I use it a lot and sometimes it's my camera bag. I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching my friend.

Im glad you liked it. I think stuff like this is what makes youtube more fun. Mike and I thought more people would try this, it makes really fun videos. Only one more person did this that Im aware of. Good to know you want to do things like this. I'll keep you in mind if a tag similar to something like this ever comes up. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks, Im glad you liked it. This was one of the most fun videos I ever made. Thanks for watching my friend.

@Loraxtribe I thought this was a great idea of oregonmikes, especially the part of come up with as many uses for the items as possible. That gave me good ammo for a video. This wasnt really that much of a test of making it or not, more of a test of skills to see how much thinking and improvising I could do. I'm glad you liked it, stay tuned for more nutty behavior, ha ha. Thanks for watching my friend.

@lmsloan Absolutlely, Nick and I havent had that much fun in a good while. The excitement of having to think of uses for all that stuff made me feel like a kid with lincoln logs, ha ha. Im glad you liked it, thanks for watching my friend.

I just watched this older film of yours and once again you surprised me with your wit and humor while surviving a night in the woods. Thanx again David for your knowledge and quick thinking on the spot.

Im glad you liked it, I tried to think outside of the box on this one. Get it? Outside the "box" Ha Ha. Ok, bad joke. I hope you have a happy new year too and thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. It was a fun one for me to get to use all that stuff on the trip. Thanks for watching my friend.

Im glad you liked it and got some ideas from it. Nick was using a Rothco mini hammock. Thanks for watching my friend.

Brother I always get excited when foods involved. LOL. Im glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos. Take all the ideas you want, that why they are here. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! Im glad you like the videos. More in the works, I just have to get free time to film them. Thanks for watching my friend.

Its just about the most fun that youll ever have on a trip. Give it a try when ever you can. Thanks for watching my friend.

cool, all you need is someone to send or hand you a box of unrelated items to try and make it with. The cool part is that you have to find uses for all the items, not just survive. Anyone can just go lay down on the ground, sleep, then walk out alive. Making uses for stuff is outright fun. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! I gotta say all the credit for the idea goes to Oregonmike. The thing about real minimalist survival is, it can be quite boring. Thats why I loved this idea. find as many uses as possible for the items in the box. this was probably one of the most fun trips I have been on . Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching my friend.

Man was it ever, the funnest trip I ever made. Thanks for watching my friend.

In this video I used a SOG Jungle Primitive. I have several knives but most of the time I carry my Kabar Night Ranger. Thanks for watching my friend.

Mike said it was a surplus outer cover from a military bivy sack. I used it a couple of times to cover a sleeping bag and Ive put a wool blanket in it before. Its a pretty heavy duty item. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! I do always try to show new stuff on each video and I absolutely have fun in each one. If ya cant have fun, why do it? Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

Most of the thanks needs to go to oregonmike. This was all his idea and Nick and I got to have all the fun from it. Im glad you liked it, thanks for watching my friend.

Yep, trips like this was meant for fun and a fun time it was! Thanks for watching my friend.

I'm glad you liked it. To me, it doesnt matter if its 20 minutes away or if its in your backyard. Hanging out and cooking and sleeping is all about fun in my book. Good luck, and have fun with it. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. It was all OregonMikes idea and it was alot of fun. I wished more folks had done this because it puts the fun back into filming. As far as I know, only one other person did a trip like this. Yes, I am in Northwest Georgia. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

Maybe its because this was so unserious that it was major fun! LOL. This was a very fun trip for me. Thanks for watching my friend.

Man was it ever a ton of fun for sure. Thanks for watching my friend.

Im glad you liked it. It was all Oregonmikes idea to do this. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thats whats cool about having a box full of stuff. You can do it several ways,. He said to find as many uses as you can for the items in the box. More like improvising than survival. Cool ideas you have. Thanks for watching my friend.

It was a canteen stove by the canteen shop. I probably could have used more poles but it held me up no problems. Thanks for watching my friend.

Man was it ever a blast! Probably one of the more fun trips Ive ever took. I hear ya on the snow going, I love warm weather camping so much better. Thanks for watching my friend.

Im glad you liked it, Yes, if it was in an X shape it would have given a little and not been so stiff. Thats a great idea but I cant remember if I had enough cordage to do that. That would also stop an impalement dangers, LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

Well I dont think we have to worry about the world ending on the 21rst. Theres a few more shopping days left after that so Walmart wont let the world end before Christmas, you know how much power Walmart has, LOL. Im glad you liked it Mark. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! It was quite improvised but it kept me off the ground and wasnt too bad to sleep in. Im glad I had some food to eat in the morning, lol. Thanks for watching my friend.

The idea behind the video was to find as many uses as possible for the items in the box. this was meant for fun, not a minimalist type survival thin. Thanks for watching.

Thanks ! Im glad you liked it. Its always good to hear from a fellow Georgian. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! I'm glad you found it interesting and funny. I am trying my best to spread a positive message about the outdoors. Thanks for watching my friend.

LOL! Nope, no werewolves. The camera guy eats as much as a wolf tho, hee hee. I'm glad you liked it and its good to hear you always smile, Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. Yes, when youre out in the middle of nowhere, with no decent camping supplies, anything is great. As far as just going off the road into the woods camping, you have to be careful during deer season. Theres some hunters around here that show at anything that moves even before they make a positive ID. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, thats always good to hear. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! Im glad you like the videos and my ideas. I figure when it comes down to it, its all about having fun tho. Thanks for watching my friend.

Well, I mostly go on private land, thats why I can get away with all the chopping,cutting and campfires.If you have no access to it, youll have to go tent or hammock camping.I go to a lot of places that no one else is willing to go like swamps and wetlands.I never bump into anyone and I can pretty much do whatever I want and no one even knows it.Swamps are not for everyone tho, stick to campgrounds until you find private land.I'll do the groments in an upcoming vid. Thanks for watching my friend

Ha Ha, man, Mike thought he had me stumped with the fish. He said "Find as many uses as possible for the items in the box" I showed him didnt I? LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

Im glad you liked it. Kids should never do the stuff I do. Thanks for watching.

@gettinready101 Believe it or not, the bed actually slept ok.. Option two was very nice. It it would have gotten cold I would have asked for it, ha ha. Thanks for the comments and thank you for watching my friend.

@CrypticCRICKET Im glad, I try very hard to make these things entertaining. Its very well worth the effort when friends like it. Take care my friend and thanks for watching.

Nick thanks you bro. It was a great idea and it was all credited to Oregonmike. He came up with the idea and I was hoping that other youtubers would trade packages with each other. It's all about fun and a little learning. I didnt mind hiking in far because Mike said he would take care of me, lol. I'm glad you liked it, Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks, I think this was still the most fun Ive had yet on a video. Thanks for watching my friend.

Im glad you liked the video. The cot looked weird but it actually was quite comfortable.I didnt use the space blanket because it didnt get very cold and there was no rain in the works. Thats awesome that you picked up 6 tips. Thanks for watching my friend.

Hey, cut me some slack. I had little to work with, lol. I wish I'd thought of the bellows thing. I would of had two uses for it then. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I usually use my alice as a pillow or head prop but if I remember right, I tried to just use whats in the ole box. Thats a good idea on the ole packaging as loft. Thanks for watching my friend.

Well, ya just gotta start out camping then, with each succesive trip, leave an item at home until youre camping with very little gear. I probably cant take a greenhorn under my wing right now because I rarely get time myself to camp or even make videos. I have no idea what the future holds tho. Good luck, be safe and have fun. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! Im glad you liked it, It was an awesome experience for me and my son. Thanks for watching my friend.

Well, I used the Ferro rod for the sterno but, I didnt remember any flint. I found perfect wood for a hand drill, which is very rare without drying it ahead of time so, I figured I'd give it a shot. If it failed I always had the Ferro Rod to light up those dry tree roots I found by the creek. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! This was a great idea. All the credit goes to Oregonmike. He thought of it and I had the fun, LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

That is a SOG Jungle Primitive. Not the best knife in the world but for $38.00 it is a steal. I love it and use it quite often. The cheapest place to get one is on Amazon. Thanks for watching my friend.

I should have used it for a bellows, that would be a very good idea. Oregonmike thought I wouldnt have used it at all. Two uses would have blown his mind, ha ha. Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! As far as I'm concerned, it should all be fun! Thanks for watching my friend.
