Stranded in a Rainstorm - Surviving the Night

Caught in a rainstorm with a broken paddle, too far to hike out I must spend the night with the limited gear that I have.
While this situation was simulated, everything in the video I actually did with the limited tools and gear that I brought, all shown on video.
I always tell people where I'm going, I always carry an emergency communication device and I always bring an extra paddle, But It was fun to go through the motions of a potential stranded situation.
I'm sure I could have fixed my paddle before I snapped it all the way through but then I wouldn't have got to spend the night with my 1000 mosquito friends
Hope yall have a great day

You videos never fail to take me along for whichever Adventure you are departing on. They take me with and move me to a similar place of natural tranquility that only the wild can provide. It is a rare thing, not only in a KZfaq content sphere but for media in general that I can experience something like that. In my opinion it is a testament to the efforts you go through to produce content of this quality. I'm really happy to be watching along, as i reminisce over the outdoor experiences of my own life, and feel inspired to dream of new ones. Cheers and thanks for the content, Xander.
