Just a tip for anyone who happens to see this: If you find water such as a stream, follow it downhill. It could lead you to a larger body of water where there may be people to help you.
@@sarahp.3772 you repeated what he said he meant he only reccomends following it downhill if you're lost in a mountain otherwise the ooposite if you're in a different environment
That’s what makes people keep looking for the path until they die instead of building a camp though, it’s usually better to stay put when you’re hopelessly lost
Just keep in mind that you only have a couple of years left of hs, this kind of thinking really was my anchor when I was in school... now college is the real nightmare, but at least you won't have to deal with shitty brats anymore... just shitty adults...
Step 1: Mark your current position with anything easily recognizable (make something out of the things around you). Step 2: Check how long you've been walking. Step 3: Walk towards one direction passed the minutes you spent getting lost while making sure you mark your way back. Step 4: If you spent 20 minutes getting lost and walked 30 minutes towards one direction to no avail, go back to your mark and try another direction. (Repeat and you'll be out within the day). What if someone intentionally left you in the middle of the forest while you were sleeping? Walk towards one direction and hope for the best while eating and drinking things along the way.
My dad taught survival in the military, you have a lot of the right steps but you're missing a few and they are in the wrong order. My dad taught mallow hierarchy of needs. The order he taught was; First aid (if you crashed or there was an accident or injury), Fire (for heat and to help relax), Signal (bonfire or giant S.O.S in snow or sand, you could even clear an area and carve in the dirt), Shelter (try and build a few feet away from the fire to heat shelter), Water Then Food.
This series is young, but it’s so dope! I love how they give an almost continuation video after each video. That idea is so cool cuz it’s helpful and also serves as dual promotion. It makes you wanna watch the next recommended vid, where as other channels usually have a bunch of their most recent/popular vids. One thing I do wish is that they actually continued from the previous video, even if for a moment. For example with this vid, the previous one was “falling in out a plane without a parachute”. It’d have Been cool if they started this vid with how they set it up at the end of the last one. Like, “so what happens when you survive without a chute and now you’re lost in the woods?” You could give a brief “synopsis” I guess, before transitions to “So what if you’re lost in the woods and didn’t survive a fall from 3500 feet in the air”, because I’m sure the outcome , and process for both scenarios would be totally different 🤔. If time is the issue (because I do notice the length of the series), I’m sure we wouldn’t mind a couple extra minutes on each of these entertaining ass videos 😅😅. Anyway I love the content! It’s definitely one of those where I thought I knew something , but ya proved to me it IS true that “ya learn something new everyday” 🤷🏾♂️😂. Peace love and joy to you all! I wish you continued success!!
This is the most realistic scenario on this channel, I don’t think getting swallowed by a whale will happen to me but I’ve been in a lot of forests’ *especially while stoned LOL*
I have actually been really close to this exact survival scenario without even realizing before now. I followed my dad on several forest trips as a kid and we were both kilometers into the forest and did get partially lost (him being unsure of were we are, me and my sister having no idea), but somehow he always found the way back.
@@kirku8114 unless you are in a highly magnetic area (i.e. volcanic deposits such as in the Japanese "Suicide Forest"). Iron deposits and any standing metal such as powerlines that cut in woods will unfortunately alter your compass bearing. Good tip is making sure your compass is calibrated for the proper hemisphere, north and south of the equator will affect magnetic north. But definitely have a compass on hand 🤙
More importantly, for authorities to start searching you once your get lost, tell your friends, family and local forest authority of your plan- intended route, days and when to expect you so that they can start search and rescue once you didn't make it back until the stipulated time. It was the mistake done by the lead character of '127 Hours' movie. Nobody know that he got lost and so no one searched.
Its actually astounding my dad hasn't been lost (completely) and got us lost in the forest before. As I have followed him on some forest trips that were kilometers into the forest (at most about 20 kilometers in a day), and many of the times he has even been uncertain on where exactly we are during those trips. Nowadays I dont voluntarily go on forest trips anyway because I'm scared of the ants and they are everywhere in the forest at summer (in winter I would probably freeze to death anyway). The trips I have been one I spend most of the time running from those ants and only resting in very specific spots to avoid them. That's probably the main reason I would not survive, I would spend way too much energy just avoiding bugs and maybe get in other dangerous situations because of it.
I once got lost in a public park. My brother and I went off the beaten path and wandered into the trees where no one goes. We found a lake and a Sandy beach but I was hyperventilating cause this was an isolated area and anything could happen so I managed to backtrack us until we got back to the park road. But it was borderline scary, I can’t imagine a whole ass forest. This is why I won’t go camping.
You are lucky.. some disappeared even in a plantation or orchard. There are cases in my places where some disappeared never to be found again like running a marathon in a well guided trail in the middle of the jungle.
Got kinda lost in a mountain forest but only for 1 day. Short story, was with a friend exploring and we crossed a small stream with lots of slippery rocks, we had to use our arms not to fall due to the rocks and current combination. This was at 1pm. We kept walking and when it was getting dark and cold we started heading back only to find that the stream had grown so much that we could not even place one foot, my friend made an attempt to cross and got a bit injured. So we decided to walk down stream with the few remaining daylight, we got nowhere, had to spend the night there and making it back the next day was not easy. Anyway I learnt many things that we did wrongly before and after getting "Lost"
When i was a kid, being alone in my room, my mind produced a lot of scary crazy thing like ghost, killer. I dont know why, but negative thoughts came into my mind. Now, i detect that we are likely to be impressed and think more by strong emotions such as scare...
As a seasoned backpacker I cringe when I see unprepared people wandering off the trail. No water, no extra clothing or rain gear, no food, no good sense. I was on a midnight group hike up Hawk Mountain that included two ditzy coeds wearing shorts, tank tops, and sandals who were unprepared for the temperature to go from 80 to 45 degrees during a light rain. Not even a sweatshirt or a sweater between them. They would have died of exposure if people with them hadn't been prepared. We had three tarps between us, plus extra articles of clothing, and a way to heat water and for hot beverages and soup. I had rain pants and a poncho and I was toasty warm. If not for the prepared members of the group they might not have made it that night.
When I was 14 I got lost in the woods for a full night, was able to get out by noon the next day. Ended up on the other side of town then I entered in.
Hi! I try to gather people for a project of mine, and if any comment-section, this one would have people with brain, i thought. So? Interested in helping youtube to become a more healthy plattform? Wanna act, when its fully known what a mess this plattform is?

When I was 12 I took a hike in the forest of the San Geronimo Valley, Northern California. Someone told me "If you hear pigs snorting ahead of you, climb a tree otherwise wild boar will tear you to shreds." So there was a pine tree that I climbed probably 20 feet up next to me when I heard a pack of wild boar race down the path ahead of me. While I prayed for my survival in the tree, the boar were running in circles sniffing the ground and they never looked up. They never looked up. Forty five minutes later I climbed down and ran home.
I got lost when was 9 years old around 08:00 am Eastern Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and kept running around in a forest 🌳 in the next 10 hours until I met people around sunset. I had no survival tips. I guess I was one lucky or unlucky bastard whichever way you look at it. I am now 28 years old so looking back I could have done better but then I was just a child. The Good Samaritan who found me brought me back home next day around noon after spending the night with his family because apparently we were so far away from where my family lived that they could not believe I travelled that far in such short time on foot as a kid. It was more like a marathon 😂😂😂😂
I’m acat be your dad and your family can go back and go back to the office for the day so I’m sorry 😣 but you are doing great 😌 I’m acat go to go back to sleep 💤 and get my car 🚙 go get my friend out there so I’m sorry 😢 but you don’t think 🧐 going back to the right thing I know you can do your job but I’m going back to the back and I’m not really sure I’m sorry 😢 but you don’t think 💭 I love 💕 and you are all doing me a favor
Please do a video on how to survive being homeless, people are much more likely to end up in that situation than a survival situation ( all though I know a lot happen) Thank you
This works! I made myself lost in the woods and then im rescued :D But it only for 2 days I cant believe such pain without internet connection for 2 days...
One of the advice my dad told me if i got lost was "follow the creek to the river, follow the river to the ocean, follow the ocean to the settlement." Sense people are bound to build near flowing bodies of water, you have at least decent odds of finding someone along the way.
hello sir, let me introduce myself from Indonesia, I am very happy to be able to find clips on your channel and I get a lot of inspiration here, thank you for all your work, sir, may God always bless you 🤲 6:27
When you watch all those missing 411 cases, getting lost in a forest, mountain, wilderness is no jokes. Especially if there are wild life waiting to pounced on you anytime (tiger, wolves, any man eaters animal)
