In this video, I am in Wiltshire with Wilderness Survival Skills, taking part in the Hunter Gatherer Challenge, a four day, four night solo primitive survival challenge using very limited kit. Armed with just a belt knife, a folding saw, a billy can, 3 metres of paracord and a few essential emergency items, I head off into the forest to build a shelter and bed, make fire by friction, forage for food, make a primitive hunting bow (including a knapped flint arrow head) and live as comfortably as I can using the natural materials found around me.
This is part one of the challenge, covering the first two days. Part two will continue shortly.
The kit and clothing taken on the challenge will be covered in an upcoming video.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Simon, thank for truthfully showing that starting fire with a bow drill takes time and effort! Too many others show a perfect 8-10 strokes of the bow and VOILA FIRE! BS. So I appreciate how you showed multiple attempts. And that your first lean-to was not perfect, just workable. Adding the various berries and herbs to the pot is also good. The liquid has most of the nutrients. Good vid, thanks.

No if he had made a dry area where even his mess ups fell in dry(as dry as he could) wood. He would have done far better. You can watch literally 3 cuts of him bowing right in a patch of wet grass. The 2 more literally on top of a patch. It takes time and he did well, but definitely has improvement in developing a fire environment.

The Bow Drill is a very different beast when you're tired, hungry and thirsty. Add the pressure of knowing that you absolutely must make fire and it can become a difficult challenge quickly. It only takes a couple of problems and you can feel your energy dwindling to nothing. Knowing that your chances are becoming smaller and smaller. Well done on getting it! Not many people are prepared to test their skills to this level. :) Great episode too!

Thank you Leigh!! Your book helped hugely - getting an ember is hard enough, I was really worried about my tinder too - everything was so damp - all that effort can easily be wasted when a damp tinder bundle sucks the heat out of your ember. Phew!!!! 😁👍🔥

Once again, you disproved the old adage: "where there's smoke, there's fire!" I cannot see Andy taking on this type of challenge; the food is substandard. It takes an unbelievable amount of energy and determination to forage and process just a bit of food. 'Aspiring Caveman' on KZfaq gave me an interesting idea in his video about building a long-term shelter: his chimney would have made a tube shelter very quickly in a hazel copse. He made a rake that easily produced a lot of duff for roofing and insulating. Much of the FUN in watching how Blokes like You meet these challenges in thinking about what we have found and how OUR conjectures might apply. At the end of this challenge, YOUR insights about the process would be fascinating.

As much as I'd like to give butchering a deer a good go, I'll be taking a pre packed steak from Aldis. 😆......Also, there's an awesome shelter already there at my disposal. 😃👌....Not that we're due any rain. 😁....I know I'm a bit behind, but keep up the great vids, and well done on this achievement/video, here. 👍

@christiansfortruth5953 4 жыл бұрын

A positive piece of advice. As soon as you have an amber dont pick it up and fan it. Put it into the middle of your tinder. Fold the grinder over and then gently blow on it until it fires up. It's the thebreath and constant flow of the oxygen from your breath that feeds the ember. Fanning it does not accomplish that. But great vid. Good stuff..

@simonablokeinthewoods 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you - fanning the ember does help in the early stages -it encourages the ember to grow and you can easily control the amount of air you push towards it, then, I find it stands a better chance of lasting while it’s placed in a tinder bundle to be blown into life. 🔥
