HATCHET ONLY - SOLO SURVIVAL - No other items (Catch & Cook, Shelters etc)

Video Description

This Solo Survival Challenge was inspired by my favourite childhood book: HATCHET, by Gary Paulsen. I construct multiple bushcraft shelters and showcase a diverse range of primitive survival techniques while fishing, hunting, and foraging for a variety of food! This is a mix of education and entertainment. My style is meant to teach in a way that's enjoyable and exciting to watch, hopefully inspiring everyone, including younger generations - to get out and enjoy the outdoors! The Bear Essentials is my Brand, and I make/innovate on a bunch of camping and outdoor gear as a passion project. If you'd like to help support my journey, business, and educational content, feel free to reach out or visit The Bear Essentials Website and check out my gear! www.bearessentialsoutdoors.ca Your friend, DJ #survival #bushcraft #primitive CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 1:20 First Wild Encounter 1:50 How To Stalk Animals 3:35 What I Brought With Me 6:15 Finding Tinder Fungus 6:40 How To Tell How Much Time Until Sunset 8:09 How To Do a Chaga Fire Plow 11:01 Chaga Fireplow Success 13:04 Making a Birch Bark Bowl 14:20 Boiling Water in a Birch Bark Bowl 16:28 Hunting for Bullfrogs at Night 19:26 Eating Frog Legs 22:06 Day 2 Plan 22:40 Harvesting Bunchberries 24:19 How Tinder Fungus Holds an Ember 25:30 Harvesting Wild Cattails 26:46 The Cattail Root System and What's Edible 28:21 Making it To the River 28:59 How To Weave Cattail Cordage 29:45 Building a Hobbit Hole Bushcraft Shelter 33:30 Wolf Prints 34:00 Eating Wild Sarsaparilla 24:52 Harvesting Dogbane to Make Fishing Line 36:31 How To Weave Fishing Line Cordage From Dogbane 40:56 How to Make a Survival Gorge Hook 43:49 Catching Crayfish 44:36 Primitive Fishing Using A Gorge Hook and Hand Made Fishing Line 46:36 Rekindling a Chaga Fire from Ember 48:22 Catch and Cook 49:08 Eating Cattail Rhizomes on the Fire 51:14 Leave No Trace
