Surviving a -36° Night - No Tent & No Sleeping Bag

I understand this kind of hardship ... last night I woke up and one of my feet was out from under the comforter. My toes were chilly ... Luckily, I survived it.

This is the perfect kind of relaxing video to watch at 3am

No king sized beds. No complimentary snacks. No coffee maker and no jacuzzi. I rate this resort 3 stars. At least the room had a view.

I've spent entirely too many nights living like this. You have the basics, plus you spent the night with sharp weapons, your vitals protected, and took the time to keep upur feet dry. Solid video

I can remember being forced into a similar situation unexpectedly by my own stupidity. My brother and I hiked 18 miles into the backcountry of southern Utah looking for a particular pictograph. We found it, but totally overestimated our abilities thinking we could make it there and back to the truck in one day. We could not... All we had was a water filter built into a bottle, a bunch of granola bars, and a spare set of socks since we knew we'd be crossing a creek a few times, and luckily, since he was a smoker, he had a bic lighter. It got dark and it became very difficult to tell which way to go on the return trip, with us being in a maze of canyons, and not on a well established trail. We decided to stop and try to get some sleep, but it was just too cold (November in Utah, not quite as cold as what you had here). We even tried huddling in a shelter under a large boulder, but it was just too much. We tried starting a fire with the lighter he luckily had, but the vegetation was all wet from rain the day before and we were unsuccessful. We then had the idea to burn one of the spare socks to get a fire started, and it worked! It got hot enough to start the wet wood all around us and we took turns keeping the fire going through the night while the other slept. In the morning we woke up and finished the hike to the truck, probably about 10 miles or so that day. I have never been so happy to see my truck, and to just sit down in the seat of that 25 year old pickup was one of the greatest feelings I have ever experienced. It was tough, but remains one of my favorite memories from my life. I've always remembered to be more prepared since then!

Shout out to the cameraman, no food no shelter and survived like a boss.

I admire your courage, you made it look very easy. Thank you for making this video.

I have done and taught wilderness surivial in all kinds of weather including the temps in your video most of my 80 years. This video is one of the best and shows what a person can do. It is not what you take in with you as much as how you use what you have. Basic shelter can be everywhere and a hot fire and staying dry and hydradited is a must. Very well done and you have most likely saved someone's life down the road.

Thank you for not burying the actual sounds and the authentic feeling of the video in a bunch of music. It’s a small thing but I appreciate it. I feel like it shows respect for the viewers’ intelligence to not go out of your way to make sure every fleeting moment has flashing colors or wacky loud sounds.

I truly admire folks who have the skill and knowledge to do stuff like this.

I don't think I would go out in the woods to do all this. Good lesson on how to survive. A situation I probably will never encounter.

Amazing video with incredible sound and visuals. The vapor from the breath was proof to just how cold it was. I can't believe he went through the night without a -40 degree bag!. ..Unreal!

This is the perfect kind of relaxing video to watch at 3am. This shows just how much work goes into surviving in the wilderness!.

I've unfortunately had my share of experience with being homeless due to my own poor choices and drug addiction. Let me tell you, you realize how much you've taken for granted very quickly. Most people don't realize how chilly even 60 degrees feels when you're sleeping on the ground with no sunlight for hours on end..... Don't even get me started on the rain! Thankfully those days are behind me but even now I don't take things like a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in for granted 🙏🏻

I lived far enough north as a child to recognize the different sounds snow makes when you walk through it at different temperatures. Before you'd even gotten to your campsite, I was shivering from the sound of "styrofoam" snow (so cold it doesn't even stick to itself) all the way down here in Florida. I thought I'd succeeded in blanking out those memories!

I've wilderness camped but never in winter, your tips are v good, showing how it's within reach for the prepared and knowledgeable. yay!

This is one of the most simple, but best bushcraft videos I’ve ever seen. True survival. No frills.

I haven’t made it to the middle of the video but I must say that I absolutely love that there is no music in the video. The absence of music creates this special atmosphere where you can feel the silence in the woods and how it is to be alone in the middle of nowhere

Taking life to its limits… Admirable!

When I was 11/12 y/o I did winter camping a couple times. Shelter made with sticks and a tarp. I’m 41 now and these types of videos inspire me. I might have to give it a go again. Very simple setup you provided yourself with. Fantastic ! Thanks for sharing.
