Dude looks like a vendor in a video game who sells you arrows and magic axes.
-
Never has there been a more fitting background for a guest
-
This has been the best no-nonsense video about survival in the wild I have ever seen. No crap, no raving about his own skills, just good information.
-
I showed this to a grizzly who attacked me, now he's making knots for hare traps. 10/10 would recommend.
-
I listened to him like my life depends on it
-
Absolutely zero concern for Unstable Employee looking for machete sharpening tips lol
-
"Can you make a knife in nature?" has to be the most insane question I've ever heard earnestly asked lol
-
This mudafuka is smart. I've never seen an expert in this field be both knowledgeable AND concise. He should run a course.
-
These "ask an expert" videos are quite possibly some of the best contnet on Youtube.
-
I'm literally 1 second in and I'm already like "yeah this dude knows exactly 100% wtf he's talking about" He doesn't survive nature, nature survives him.
-
is no one concerned how "unstable employee" asked how to sharpen a machete
-
Cool that he looks the part but also clearly knows science, biology, tech, etc. Great guest!
-
I've never seen Donny talk so much for so long. This feels unnatural but satisfying. I love this guy.
-
I worked with Donny for close to 3 years, maybe more. One of the coolest dudes I've ever had the pleasure of knowing during my time in the military.
-
This gotta be top 3 of people that looked the part in this whole series. Got zero doubts this dude knows what he's saying.

The fire demonstration also shows really well how little it takes for a (wild)fire to start. A tiny little piece of ember can light up some dry leaves, they light up some twigs, and bing bang boom the forest is burning down in no time. It's difficult to harness the power of making fire, but it's even more difficult to control fire.
-
Because when you make the ice house shaped, you trick the ice into thinking it is a house and it forgets it needs to be cold. I hope this helped
-
Wow, this makes me think of how much knowledge our ancestors had about nature that we've just lost and will never know.

Can you imagine the filming insurance contract? “Uh yeah, my guy’s gonna be letting loose some leather cutting shards of razor sharp stone and starting bundles on fire around the set. But no worries, he’s probably also the most prepared to solve any issues that might come up”
