20 Wilderness Survival Tips! 

Can we just appreciate that instead of spending a minute and 20 seconds rambling about what he's gonna talk about in the beginning of the video, he immediately began with the tips?

i really love how there's no intro it's just right to the point

Damn, he's proving that best survival tool is Knowledge.

It's so useful that he gets straight to the point its saves lots of time while getting attacked by a hoard of zombies!

0:24 shit i need to go hunting but i have no arrows *fires a bunch of shots into the air to collect the casings* ahhh this will do.

Luckily, I am lost in woods with WiFi.

When looking for dry wood to start a fire, even if it's been raining, look at the bottom limbs of trees for small dead branches that are still attached. They are dry and pine branches have rosin in them that will make them burn even better. Great video!

Cheese puffs can also be used in survival situation: -You can eat them to feed your hunger -You can use them as bait to catch wild animals -You can use them to start fires, since they're highly flammable.

Number 1: Punch a tree Number 2: Make a crafting table

*Use house keys to saw wood to survive* *get home, can't get in because you've ground it down that much* *end up dying outside your house.*

I once camped behind my house ...... still can't believe I survived the night. But i'm a self made man

6:35 when you unlock a weapon skin in a video game

You can also knock out a few front teeth with a club & then sharpen the jagged stumps with a rock and just go full caveman on any unwary prey.

5 minute crafts are a joke Troom Troom is a joke You my man, real and useful

My tips if you find trash in the forest means you are approaching a residential area

Fyi, the needle trick doesn’t need a magnet to work. You can rub the needle on a piece of fine cloth, eg silk, to galvanize the needle via static electricity. Great video! I love all the ways you show us how to use a dead phone.

*puts piping hot rocks in boots* *forgets about rocks* *puts boots on*

Can't wait for the next one in a year

I’m planning to write a story where the characters needed survival skills, and this video was absolutely perfect 👍

Thank for this video. I was in a plane crash about 2 hours ago and I’m stranded in the Alaskan wilderness so this video is really proving useful :)

Man, I wish I lived in an area where flint was a common rock!

Dude, that compass thing is the most useful thing ive learnt so far, thats genius

Hope I never need these, but they're sure good to know. Thanks.

1:28 For a second there i thought you were gonna recomend lighting socks on fire xd

I've been bushcrafting for over 49 years, and all I can say is about this video is, 'Fantastic!' Keep producing Alfie!

Holly shit! You'er not dead.

One tip for all you tent campers, always carry a role of pvc tape. When erecting these new tents with long poles made up from small sections you can stick the small sections together with the tape so that they stay together when you slide them through . Also you can use tape to hold together bean poles maybe even frames for survival shelters

I gotta say, this is the only channel in the entire youtube that i think it should not have the number of dislikes shown. Your videos are soo fucking cool and useful man, keep up with the good work.

alfie youve got far too much talent and creativity to not upload on a regular basis. when i saw you got a new video i shit my pants. GREAT to see you upload again man, huge inspiration to me

These survival skills will come in handy sooner than you think.

Wow. I’m really impressed by the bottle magnifying glass. I think I’m gonna just do that for fun haha

Something deep about that high-tech PCB ground into a timeless arrowhead...

Holy fuck, I thought you misidentified a mushroom or something. Welcome back

Bro, you're literally my favorite RU-vidr. When I saw that notification I clicked on it faster then I ever have for any video.

Thank you. I am so afraid of what the future brings and learning this calms my anxiety a little bit.

watching that add makes me miss my great great grandparents its a good thing i still remeber all the stuff they taught me and i hope one day to pass that on to my future kids so they grow up the right way

4:09 I made this as a science fair project long ago in elementary school but my teacher was not convinced.

Excellent video. Really good tips. Have to disagree with your filter. Just a t-shirt is better. Leeds university did a study into the effectiveness of different improvised water filters and that's what they found. Other than that fantastic work - well done.

I stuck hot rocks inside my trainers they melted

one of the simplest but best survival videos on youtube .... make a smile on my face and i can use it. thanks

Damn, Alfie, it's been so long I thought you got civilized or some such nonsense. Good to see you back!!

First reaction: Yay new alfie video Second reaction: He didnt just cut 2 holes in his fuckin pack xD

Thank you for posting that was reFreshing! I've watched this several times over 😂 I'm pretty much can say it word for word 👌

This is by far one of the quickest basic training for survival videos ever

There I was scrolling pretty fast through my subscription videos page. Then all of the sudden I passed something that looked familiar. I said wait a minute was that an Alfie video. *CLICK!*

just learned more from Alfie in 8:42 than from watching 3 seasons of Bear Grylls.

Those are nice tips and I have to try to remember most of them to use when out camping and I am in need of help. Thanks so much for sharing them with us all and you are providing a great service to the community.

I love the idea of using the pine needles as a way of keeping mosquitos away!!

the mobile phone circuit board arrow head - what a beast!

6:38 there was something so sad yet so funny about seeing one of humanities more recent and most complicated inventions being repurposed for one of the most simple and earliest. Love this guy!!!!!!

I've watched a lot of survival videos and these are some of the most useful tips I've seen.

I am from Brazil and practical survivalism ... I went to see your video just now ... what excellent content ... thank you for the content.👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇺🇸

I just use my belly button lint for my tinder.

Ohoho! Slap me twice an call me a bitch! He's back!!

Your closing made me chuckle 😁. Interesting tips, too.

How does he still only have 300k subscribers? it's been 4 years with all these classics

Awesome, right into the tips no pretentious intro, nothing flashy. Keep it classy Alfie!

So happy to hear you again! easy life ❤

Just love the compass trick just love it when I learn something new, thanks for sharing bro

excellent, no messing around, and all useful!

I'm not sure which is better - the fantastic tips or the laconic delivery of Alfie. Either way, just brilliant.

Legends said that you were murdered by a bear But now you're reborn. I love you alfie.

How is it possible to have so much talent, Simply beautiful film making skills that perfectly display.

ah! Lucky to see your video sharing 20 good tips on how to survive in the wild, it's really necessary for those who go into the wild to survive alone, thank you very much, best wishes to you and your family. peaceful

I legit think I broke my mouse clicking so hard. Glad to have you back.

OK WOW this just BLEW me away..BRAVO !!

Backwoods bathing tip, use wood ash and water to wash your hands. Wood ash contains potash, adding water activates the potash into a lye, which will help wash oils from the skin and the course ash is a great exfoliant.

It's so cool that someone else did the same thing I did but you made a video for others to know👍🏼 Great job

That improvised compass is a neat trick, I will be carrying a magnet for future camping trips. Thank you

Cheers guys, I run a games studio with a team of 10 and we're making a survival game that actually has survival in it, not like most of the current unrealistic games. We're looking forward for people who genuinely love and understand survival to guide us on the small things. Our level of realism is like, the player can really do anything, but everything has its consequences, just like in real life if you were to be faced with a survival situation, I mean he can build bed out of anything, add and remove layers, sand, dirt, leaves, anything, elevate or not elevate the bed with wood or other things, even sleep on the ground, but for instance sleeping on the ground surely won't do you good, he can really make whatever he wants, also for example if you're wounded, depends on the type of wound but you could close the wound dozens of different ways, some ways could lead to dangerous consequences, or let it heal on it own, obviously that depends on your health, and yes there's all the health variables, then there's desieses, infections, ways to treat yourself with plants etc, filter water, purify water, or drinking it right off the bat but that has its obvious health consequences, also depends on what kind of water you drink, even the food, geez i mean we already have a lot of things and I can't say them all here, but it's pretty much EVERYTHING you would expect a survival game to have, but none do. Think of it this way "Survival Simulator". What would a REAL person really need, feel and experience the need of/lack of when in a survival situation. Thing is, we surely are missing some stuff, we're still making a list of all these small and unique mechanics we need. > Does anyone here want any specific survival mechanic in it? If so please then let me know and I'll give you a contact of mine so that we can talk, we can also discuss it here, thank you!

This video is awesome👍. Excellent format as well👏. Thanks

One of the Best camping hacks videos I have ever seen.. Brilliant mate.. Other level.. I learned alot from this.. Thanks

Finally dude!!!

My boy. The wait for your videos is worth it everytime.

Half of these i learned when i was in the military. The plastic water trick works actually and was very handy when we were not given water in over a week.

Brilliant. Simple. Essential.

Nice to see you back Alfie. Some tips there I've never heard of before.

Those are nice tips and I shall remember then so if I need help I can fall back on what I have learned. Thanks for sharing these tips with us all.

i love how you didn't do a long introduction (or at intro at all) it's my biggest pet peeves of RU-vid so you have gained a sub my good man

If there is no plastic bottle and have nothing on you, you’d have to find sand and make glass through a rock furnace by blowing through 2 halves of straight stick tied together. With that you can use it as a magnifying glass, water beaker or water purifier. The biggest problem is food and water, you might have to catch and cook bugs to eat (iirc it is part of Mexican cuisine so roast em.) Wood carving will be useful, if precise you can make water canteen if two halves can hold together with attachments, but only if you can cut down a tree or very large branches, too tedious otherwise. Pine is useful but the alternative is to smoke your clothing as it is generic bug repellant if you have time to set that up and can’t find any. As for a pillow squeeze as many leaves as into a tofu shape if possible, it helps keep them from flying away.if you sleep in the open and becomes pretty solid to sleep on. If you must become clean then use a bundle of grass or moist leaves from a tree to rub it on your skin, as that should help get rid of dirt or microbe on your skin like a towel. If it is winter, dig a large hole in a area void of tree and water, pile up as many rock and dirt to use as walls like building a sand castle for the night with long branches as a roof. Alternatively you can carve out a extremely thick living tree into a seat or a felled tree, and then just cover the opening with lots of thin branches. If there is no puddles or convenient source of water and desperate then keep digging down for groundwater, as that is how forests and grasslands help sustain themselves after long periods without rain.

talk about an incredible video. Thanks so much for this information

Thanks so much ! Great info. I like the concept of hi-tech arrow heads ; rather ironic 😸

Probably the best survival tips and most unique I've ever seen. Awesome job! :)

Excellent video!! And the irony of using computer chips to build primitive arrow heads is great.

Best thing happening to me this year so far.

How to dry your boots without potentially burning/damaging your inner lining: Completely stuff your boots with as much dry grass as possible. The grass will draw out all the moisture from the boots in a few hours (even overnight).

I liked the ending, from stoic to "PEACE!!!"

Wonderful tips for everyone. Thanks for your videos which are so educational!

Loads of good ideas. Great to see a video from you.

Genuinely great tips here!

I can watch stuff like this all day!!!

That compass trick blew my mind, wow. Bro I've been watching your videos and I have my Rite in the Rain pad where I keep all this info, I have other information regarding tree identification, pace maker beads, natural tree remedies such as the innards of willow bark, and so much more. Thank you so much for the information, it's worth it's weight in gold x500💯

Bro, come back! You were the best source for us guys in the UK that wasn't all gear and no idea!

Nice one pal it's been a while but good to see a new vid.

amazingly simple but useful in the wild 👍👍👍 looking forward to your future ones

Masterful, no fillers.thanks.

Thanks for these tips man. I’m going camping in two days! They might help!

Wonderful, Alfie. I'm sharing your tips and tricks with everyone on my channel. I'm delighted to see your videos rolling into my home page again. God bless you.

Great video as always. Loving the tips thanks once again.

Straight to the point and practical tips, I enjoyed this video.
