Solo Survival: How to Survive Alone in the Wilderness for 1 week –Eastern Woodlands
In this video (part one and two) I go into the wilderness of North Eastern North America with only a knife and live off the land for a week. I document many of the crucial steps and tips and tricks that I do to survive in the forest. Skills shown are shelter, primitive fire, bark containers, water purification, fishing, weaving natural rope, bark shelters, trapping, edible plants, primitive cooking, fish traps….and tons more.

After a few decades of being obsessed with collecting survival and primitive skills techniques, I am putting out these videos to demonstrate the skills and excursions found at my school, Wild Survival (wildsurvivalskills.com). Videos are focused on primitive skills, rewilding, tracking and nature awareness, living off the land, off grid living, indigenous skills, shelter building, primitive fire, water purification, trapping, hunting, bow making, flint knapping, primitive pottery, basketry, edible and medicinal plant preparation and numerous indigenous skills.
I began studying wilderness survival when I was 17 in order to have the ability to spend extensive periods of time in nature, seeking out empowerment without the need for external sources. I began studying in 1993 under Tom Brown Jr eventually teaching for Tracker Inc. I sought-out every old Native American teacher I could and eventually traveled the world living in very remote indigenous villages in the Amazon, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Peru. My school teaches survival and primitive skills, nature awareness, how to live off the land, re-wilding and how to prepare for disasters. I strongly believe that experiencing survival living changes the way people approach their entire lives.

Well in the mid west USA there’s too many damn chiggers and mosquitoes, and gnats you’d be covered in bites on the first day.
and barefoot!
Zika, west Nile, several tick diseases. A week is not that hard. It’s the aftermath of diseases. Ive have friends with all of these
100x better than the majority of survival shows on television. Not to mention your video editing skills are on point.
Awesome!
An amazing survival video. Makes all those ‘back yard’ survival experts look like kindergarten experts. But I note that the real truth to survival is to know your area like the back of your hand. Here in OZ the true blood Aborigines know this and have survived, lived well and thrived for 60,000 years until white settlers came along. Settlers begged the local Aborigines for help so they might survive and gain a foot hold on the OZ continent. Once they were settled they killed the local Aborigines, like vermin. Just for historical record, there are NO Aborigines in Tasmania, not any more. Why? the whites killed or imprisoned every single one of them till death. Enough said about simple unarmed survival from nature’s bounty. You will eventually need state of the art weapons to survive!
I know that look when he was drinking…. Thats the face I made when I drank from a grape vine….. Its weird
Hey! Absolutely amazing video! Only question. Have you ever worried about ticks and disease from the forest and leaves?

Most of this chit is a piece of cake but it’s the fire making that separates the men from the boys or women
