Watching you always make my mood better. Thanks for everything Josh!

OMG my grandmother taught me the toilet paper hack and I have never seen or heard anyone else demonstrate it. She said it was how they saved TP during the depression. I lol'd so hard the moment you said rip the corner off, I knew what was coming. This made my day

Thank you for this winter video--it is an excellent teaching / lesson.

Hey I learned that TP tip as a private too! Save that corner guys…..

Excellent video! Laughed when you mentioned fruit cake - I used to carry it when I was a X-C skier.

The TP joke was priceless and timeless 👌 There's a lot about Northeast winters that some don't understand and this points out a lot. Gotta keep those hands moving and useful is, to me, the most important because your life depends on it. Thank you 😊 Blessings 🥰

The lip balm move was majestic. You have the grace and poise of an eagle!

My dad was in the Army in the late 50's early 60's. He told that same TP joke!

That hip-pocket TP training for newbies is E4 mafia approved!

Love the fruit cake add. Little sweet adds joy to the hardships.

😂😂😂 I remember that toilet paper thing in basic 😂😂😂

Great information and good comedy in the same video. It's good to see someone laugh at himself as mo9st people are uptight and grouchy. Thank you for your work.

Thanks for taking the time to show us greenhorns what what we will and might need to give ourselves the best chance at survival

Excellent food for thought,never thought of an ice chisel. Bacons always a plus. Eskimos live on nothing but fats in their region.

Thank you.

This is so badass. It's getting me excited for this winter up here in Maine.

I grew up in Upstate NY and my folks always made me carry a fire starter kit when we went snowmobiling. Great video!

Didn't know that tp joke was still being told. Brought back memories!!!

i served at bragg as 11b and my dad was 160th the minute i saw green beret in your name i had to sub. I know i aint gettin bullshit from you thank you for your service bro.

The good ol’ TP pick eye trick 😂

Council Tools makes great stuff, I love the Camp Carver! As for the “one sheet of paper” technique…I was taught that in Boy Scouts in the early 70’s. Never tried it. Never will! 😂. MRE toilet paper was featured on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson (you youngsters can Google him, one of the funniest men to ever live) in the mid 80’s. He was opening each item from an MRE to show the contents, he comes to the toilet paper and says “Oh look, napkins.” Every soldier across the world guffawed simultaneously no doubt. He corrected himself the next night. Great video.

Good video Joshua , thanks for sharing , God bless !

Soon as you mentioned folding the tp knew what was coming. Thought I was the only one that found the funny

Can’t wait to see your take on the Mors super shelter!

Ss usual great video. Them classic military snow shoes, got training on use of them and military ski's by some of your group in 87. Then spent over month using them in MT. Spent New Years eve and day on continental divide of Rockies.

Mom’s rum soaked fruit, cellar fermented fruitcake! Oh yea~

Great video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Hahaha the tp joke. I used that one when I taught survival at Ranger School RSLC.

LOL! I literally had an NCO show me the same exact TP trick when I was in Germany with 3ID in the mid-eighties! Well done! I just carried a roll of TP in a waterproof bag--regardless of how heavy my ruck was!

I can’t get that video out of my head lol thanks for that josh much love and respect from the Boston poop patrol ❤️🍀🇺🇸

Good stuff!

Always love watching your videos. Great info with some good humor

Loved the tp joke!! My grandpa told me that

Glad I just found your channel... Very good choice of gear, I carry the same the same tobacco box fire kit also with a flint n steel, woodcraft pack axe. Winter camping is tops 👍. I carry I titanium Firebox Nano and trangia burner and a stanley cook kit. Check out White River knives....the Ursus 45 is the most comfortable knife I have ever had in my hand... Can't wait to see more of your videos...stay safe,stay up...God Bless

Felt just like a great lecture Fantastic content!

Thanks, I remember that from camp.

Excellent video. The toilet paper deal, lol I was thinking the same thing and then you actually went for it.

Great work and info brother

Man I wish it still got cold enough here to need half of that kit. Went out the other night in November with only a wool blanket no fire & was fine, things are not like they were 15 years ago.

I knew you couldn't keep a straight face on the tp joke. Old as hell but the looks on people's faces when the hear it still makes me laugh

11:56 idk why I never thought of that, now I don’t need to buy thread!

The toilet paper trick was told to me as a kid, but it was how to make one sheet work lol.

Wow 😳

Katoola micro-spikes would be an improvement. Great kit.

Last time I got a piece of ass was when my finger ripped through the toilet paper! Too funny.

Love your intro! Someday I'll learn to edit. What program do you use? The TP story is disgusting and hilarious. One good tip I've heard is to keep an emergency blanket somewhere within reach in your vehicle - in the glove box or in the door storage areas in case you are pinned down and can't move.

A fellow Claxton fruitcake fan. Nice to see someone else

you telling that toilet paper joke a seriously as you told it. you know there's going to be a lot out there going to do it. 🤣 But on that note, If I didn't have a roll with me, (one thinking on mission essential items, you tend to forget toilet paper), I would go to our trash point in the field and get all the C-rat TP (yep that old) everyone threw away. I really don't know what they were wiping their ass with cuz they threw it all away. In actuality depending upon one's mindset, the trash point was actually a supply point.

🤣 I talk on that toilet paper technic for years

Enjoyed...!! PS- you gonna need pulk for all that gear...

Hi Josh, I see you're finally wearing your green beret. It doesn't look like standard issue to my eyes, but I served in the Peace Corps, not in the Army, so what do I know? I've always preferred winter camping, and over the years I've taken my winter vacations in places like NW Territories, Northern Manitoba, NW Ontario, and in the Rockies (above treeline). When I lived in Minnesota I was often deputized as Assistant Scoutmaster for the 'Zero Hero' trip to the north country. In 2008 we took our scouts to the Boundary Waters in January and the temp. reached -28 deg. F. I've camped as cold as -40 deg. F, but most of the time I've had to be content with temperatures from 20 deg. F to -20 deg. F. My recommendations are somewhat different from yours. I go a little heavier on the bags. If I'm camping in the Rockies, where it's not really cold but windy, I'll pack just the -20 deg. bag, but if I'm in Minnesota or Canada, I'll pack the -20 deg. bag, a 10 deg. bag, and a polyester fleece throw. That system is cozy at -30 deg. F, no fire needed. At -40 deg. I'm a little uncomfortable but still warm. You're not going to see any colder than that Stateside, esp. in balmy Upstate New York. I never recommend an axe, and esp. not in the winter. Too much potential for serious injury. Just the LT Wright Outback (knife), Bahco Laplander, and *maybe* a hatchet, but a real 12-15 inch job, nothing larger. No Silky for me. I use the Hercules SAK, which has the excellent Victorinox saw and the pliers (for removing the pot from the fire). If you're above treeline in the Rockies you MUST pack snowshoes. That's not an option, but required medical gear. Why? It's not 'tundra' up there--it's miles and miles of boulder fields, and more often than not the crags and fissures are just big enough for your foot or leg to get stuck between boulders. In the winter, the boulder fields become very effective leg fracture devices, so you need to stay above the unseen boulders below the snow. Sunglasses are essential unless you enjoy several days of snow blindness and headaches. And if, like me, you like to strip down while you're hiking (not unusual to see me shirtless at 15 deg. F), you need suntan lotion or sunscreen, esp. if you're above 10,000 feet. At 12, 000 feet the atmosphere is so thin that you can get a sunburn in less than 30 min., even in the dead of winter, even with cloud cover. I never took to the wool blanket idea. I guess it works in summer, but not in winter, unless you build a fire. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with hard tack. It keeps forever. Early WWI rations included hard tack from the Civil War. There's a guy on KZfaq who ate some Civil War hard tack, and also a can of meat from the 2nd Boer War in 1898. I couldn't stop laughing as I watched him trying not to gag on the stuff. (The channel is Steve1989MREinfo, the video is called '1899-1902 British Emergency Ration Field Service'). Good job on the video, Josh! PM 2022

Hudson Bay tin? Can you put a link for the solar you use?

What do you think about having a nordic pocket saw as a vehicle cutting tool for emergencies?

Hate that beep.

What knife do you recommend for bushcraft

What pack is that? That thing is awesome!

I dig your jacket. Where can I get one?

_“Speaking of large matches…”_ Pretty sure no one in the history of the world has ever said that before. From now on, I’m going to start every sentence I use with “Speaking of large matches… ” For example: “Speaking of large matches, could you please pass the salt?” “Speaking of large matches, who would like to go to the pub and play some darts?” “Speaking of large matches, you really suck at Call of Duty.”

👍

I have the magnesium shoes. How do you do with those bindings? Mine always come lose and I’ve seen other people have the same problem.

How come you don’t use bleach and coffee filters for water purification? 8 drops per gallon gives you a days supply of water.

Is it bad that I paused the video to test out the TP trick? 😂

👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Where are the possum perches from?

Those loud beeps 🙉

For the love of God. Stop using the the high-pitched blooper beep. Some of us still have our hearing lol!!!

🤣

TP joke? Good to know because that demonstration made me a little queasy. 🤢
