Snares and Fire Tinder are back in stock! defcon1survivalco.etsy.com Thank you for your support and patience!

Dude is just living his best life. Good for him. More people should do what they love and have fun. Life is way too short not to.

My wife and I stayed a month in a very similar outfit while running a trap line. The solar generator is a God send. A couple words to the wise if staying long term in a camp like this. wool blankets, the inside of tent temp will drop drastically as you allow the wood fire to die in the stove , you and your bed will experience condensation in a canvas tent when that happens. Only 100% wool will keep you warm, do not sleep in the tent with a roaring tent stove, have a smoke alarm and CO. Detector as well. Use several wool blankets w a thick foam over air self inflatable mattress. We use Metal boxes to keep our food in, and do not eat in the tent. A bit of crumbs is all it takes for a hungry rodent to chew it's way into your tent. Cut all the firewood you need for the whole time you will be there, then cut more... and pile it. Then cover it good. Make sure to cut a lot of small stuff for kindling wood, and have tinder ready to go. For the whole time. Do that day one. You can get sick, or injured, in that case you won't be bucking logs, but you could feed a fire if everything is prepped material wise, then you don't freeze to death because of a mild illness you'd otherwise survive. Last but not least, have several methods of staying clean. Portable shower, shop towels, baby wipes, alcohol, soap... Long term camp in the cold means what worked today may not work when you're freezing.

Small game snares will be back in stock within the week! I’ll keep you all updated as soon as they become available again! Thank you for your support and patience! - Joe

Thank God, your the first smart guy pre cutting the vegetables and preparing things at home before the trip .👍

The free man is he who does not fear to go to the end of his thought.

Philadelphia checking in. I agree 100% about the comment on the show Alone. Every contestant seems to struggle with snairing small game. That is a huge part of survival! Even this man from the city knows that. I enjoy your content. Keep it up.

A lightweight tarp slightly larger than the floor dimensions of the tent makes for a great rain cover, and with approximately 12 inches of standoff between the tent and the tarp in the summer months, the tarp provides a great shelter from the sun and allows for the tent to stay cooler inside.

I've really been enjoying your content since I discovered you about two months back. Thank you very much for your time.

Man! Forgot the coffee? Somebody would be going to get it if I was there.

I keep a couple large rat traps and some fishing yo-yos along with some cable snares. Grouse and ptarmigan are easy to catch with the rat traps and fishing is done without my presence. I have a few other small items to assist me in procuring sustenance without making loud popping noises.

I have the 3000 series pecron and it runs my lights, small refrigerator, and my nighttime fan for 4 days at camp. A fine piece of equipment. It’s lithium ion. I would prefer lifepo4, but what they don’t tell you is that you can’t charge lifepo4 below freezing. (Unless you have a built in battery heater). So after saying that, I’m glad I got this one. The price is right and you don’t need all the app knowledge. Very simple and productive. Solid piece, a little heavy but hey, it’s a battery.

good setup .. I am working on off-road trailer that I can affix my medium otter sled to when I don't have snow.

Great video, great camp.

Love your Bushcraft and Overnight videos! These are the best, together with your gear presentation videos! Keep on going man!

Love seeing someone put this gear to use!

Exact tent I was thinking about buying, this is very helpful thanks.😊

Thanks for Sharing

Joe, I like your camp setup. You seem like you thought out every angle except a water source. Steel wool will work for your fire starter as well as guitar pics (the nitrocellulose) ones. Please use the spine of your knife on the ferro rod....it'll save your sharpness. Pack some long tongs for your grilling to get your hands away from the heat. The saying goes as, "One is none, and Two is One,"

Greetings from Couer D Alene! Glad I found your channel. God bless.

Great video! Love that set up!

Thank you for creating the content. Great video. Like your gear reviews and actually testing in the field. Your homemade products look awesome. Could you do a video of you testing your tactical loadout in the field.

I love Melinda's! That said you're a braver man than me. I'd be booking it through the pines with pants down before first light. Fire in the hole!

Cover the tent with another tarp. It works well.

Love it! ❤🏕️

Great video thanks

🎉great video! With having your own property like that, you ought to consider building a small shack to store some gear, etc, maybe even a cabin from one of those Amish storage shelters or copy it. Corporals Corner built a nice cabin like that that ge stages some of his videos in. Also he has like a tarp shelter on a wooden frame etc... possibilites are endless. Would make a great "build" video

I'm very impressed and love your content. keep it up!

Great stuff man. I have 14 acres hidden out in the mtns of central idaho. Hope to be home soon. Well done 👍.

It's true,this was definitely luxury camping 😀👍 good luck!

Awesome video !!!

Thank you for great content. I am new to the channel and aspiring to start my own. I appreciate your time and effort.

I’m from CDA you gotta be pretty close to me bro!

Nice tent…Have fun stay safe.

Very cool!

Nothing seemed out of place except the washing machine in the bar.

Awesome vid - love your content

Great video and info on gear.

I agree with out about the snares not being in bug out bags and seeds to grow food is also missing from bug out bags

Since you own the property have you ever thought about building a permanent dwelling like a dugout or small survival cabin? I'm planning to Bug-In, I live in Northern New Mexico 50 miles south of Albuquerque and 8 miles out of the nearest town but right on the Rio Grande, there's only 2 other cabins on my road and they are both preppers also so we have a plan and 99% of it is already put together.

next step up from where I am at it is from surviving to thriving 👍

Joe I was thinking , just a suggestion, it will help maybe with people such as KZfaq from blocking your content choice, scheduling your videos, the same time with the same day every time

I have a similar tent from White Duck Down. For those style tents it’s recommended to set the tent up. Then spray it with a hose/sprayer with water. Wetting it down will shrink the cotton fibers and naturally water proof it. I’ve hunt/ camped with ours and it weathered heavy rain for 2 days. Never leaked. For your stove pipe I use a small pipe collar slightly modified to closely fit the pipe to shed the water away from the opening in the tent. I love the video you made and will be buying your survival products soon .

Once I start making some play around with money I plan to follow in your footsteps man

Hey, u need to apply water proof stuff with tent dry and let it dry. Just use tarp till can do.

Love the video. My thought on it is that in the event of a bugout you can't really have a fire. Those who might want to find you so that they can take what resources you have can smell your fire a mile away. Also you probably don't want to sleep in a tent or anywhere in plain sight. If someone does come to take your stuff they will probably choose to attack the camp while you sleep. So, sure, put up a tent, give them that target. But sleep off the trail, on the ground where you are unlikely to be seen and you can see your camp and the area around it.

Just found your channel, my kind of living 👍

Any waterproofing spray materials going to take at least 24 hours to properly dry always keep an OD green tarp in your gear

Excellent video brother

One thing I highly recommend is a granfors bruk axe

Love this video, I never hv seen a snare set up. I been wanting to try this . Just a suggestion- try rolling a pinch of the dough between ur hands ,flatten between ur hands and toss back and forth between ur hands , takes practice but it will be perfect and even flat fry bread . I never tried the sour dough ,I sure will after this video. Tortillas every day tho.

Awesome video

Dude, this was a great video!! I'm definitely going to be picking up some snares and fire starters! I think snares are a very important piece of gear to have in a bugout bag! Ima try to trap some rabbits by my house with them so I can learn how to trap with them! Take care, bro!!

Hell yeah

That eberlestock FAC Trac is a great bag

Good Job Sir

I did enjoy the video, first time viewer.

Muito bomm, aqui no Brasil nem existe esses equipamentos, e os que existe, custam muito caro, adaptamos por aqui

2:17 thats one heck of an airplane flying overhead. Everyone is bugging out to the Mountains tho. Ill stick to the coast where we have big & small game hunting, plus an abundance of saltwater fish. The paste fire starter was pretty cool. I dont drink coffee so forgetting it isnt a big deal for me. Dinner looked amazing. Gonna watch a few more of your videos.

U have unique tent😊

Ive found thoes small stoves are worthless in 35 to 40 degree rainy weather if you want to warm up and dry out, go larger with the stoves in warmer weather. Because being hypothermic really sucks,and wet down sleeping bags really suck too

How in the world did you forget to bring the coffee?!?! That is the number one, most important, supply that absolutely must be brought when camping!!! I wouldn't have survived, so I have to at least give it to you for that. 😂😂 I mean I would have absolutely parished if I woke up and realized I didn't bring any coffee! 😂😂

Great video I love the content just subscribed

Wish i had land like this, maybe someday.

Absolutely great video loved it and for the tent it’s really nice for a buyout shelter . As being experienced with canvas tents, you should never touch the inside of the tent when it’s wet on the outside because wherever you touch or lean something against it, it will leak and all seams should be waxed sealed just out of my experience I had a great Hillary canvas tent, proximately the same size many years ago, and never had a problem, again great video keep them coming loyal subscriber. 👍👍👍🌴😎🌴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🙏🏻🤣

I enjoyed this video. However, I staunchly oppose the notion that hot chocolate is even CLOSE to having a good cup of coffee. I'll be snagging some of that firestarter, too. Thanks man!

Sweet, another Idahoan. I am in the Orofino area. I can’t wait to get out and do some bushcraft.

SWEET VIDEO, im to lazy theres an abandoned boy scout camp with cabins in the woods 3 miles from me, il set up there....

those white balls flying in the air are spirit orbs

I don’t know why everyone is getting so uptight about using the knife edge to strike your ferro rod. We have been told to use a sharp 90 degree spine, and taught how to make it so, if it doesn’t come with it. But seriously, if you can’t afford to resharpen the quarter inch striking surface, then I think you should stay home and just regurgitate the same criticisms from other KZfaq channels. The point is that he isn’t doing it wrong, he’s doing it in a way that works.

Where did you get that awesome tent stove?

Your gonna need a bigger tarp...

Snares are sold out my friend. Will there be more coming?..Thank you ..great video sir

God I love your videos

You made 1 MAJOR.. mistake . Striking that ferro rod Inside the tent @ 3000* F you would burn a hole in any tarp floor and defeat waterproofing and snow coming up through the bottom.

Just found your channel. Had to subscribe to you. How much does the tent weigh. Awesome video my friend

Nice vid☺ aaaaand i allways thought that all banklines are tar wrapped 😣

👍👍👍

Fire tinder ....cotton balls dipped in petroleum jelly wha lah

I would like to get another review of the equipment you are using, and especially the tent, a year from now. No need to spend a lot of money for Gucci gear, when moderately priced stuff works well.

Like the setup and I get calling at a base camp but any real bug out setup I believe should be portable just by yourself basically where you can carry on your back or just what you can carry but if you can afford and have the ability to get all the extra luxury stuff absolutely do it it'll make your life so much easier

I added big rat traps to all my bags

we need to work as a society a bugout one cause people are going to target us and we need to defend

Went to your Etsy. I liked the Chest pak and straight knife also.. i do alot of fishing..2 purposes.. what are the model ?#'s and source.. didnt see the info

New sub here. Good vid. So how did the tent do? Did it really get put to the test? Any rain? Would be interested. Also, what's the story on your in-tent wood stove? Titanium or steel? Brand? Happy? No link in video info. I tried searching your vids with key word "stove" and not seeing a review etc.

What is the link for your survival snare tins?

Awesome video, I have learned a lot from this campsite setup! just a quick question, is this type of camping considered car camping?

Have you used the tent since this video? Is it still worth the price??

How is this tent? Is it worth the money? Looking to get one of its good

I prefer Birchbark t's natural & fee abd Alwas works :)

Nice tent But your ground tarp is too small for the tent

How long can you remain self sufficient before you and your family run out of good? How much land area do you need for sustainable hunting/trapping

I am wondering about the snares?

Good video. I want an Esbit now lol

Great set up you have! What pack/ ruck is that ?

Tensioner

Good video. What is the wood stove you are using?

Would you have gone up to the 13' bell tent

👍👍

Great video and enjoyed…. Could I ask if you have details on your plate you had your food on? TIA 👍
