7 Tips That Could Save Your Life If You Get Lost In The Wilderness

With winter weather and subzero temperatures, getting lost in the wilderness in winter could be a deadly mistake. It’s not uncommon to hear about a hunter or hiker getting lost in the wilderness and having to spend an unplanned night in the forest. Without proper gear or the knowledge to deal with cold weather and snow some don’t survive. In this winter survival video I’ll show a few survival skills to help get you through a cold night in the winter woods. I’ll have no sleeping bag or tent. Aside from the winter clothing I have on, all I’ll have to survive the night is a lighter, a multitool, and a small folding saw. I’ve also got a small metal canister for making tea and coffee (I mean, I’m not a total savage…).

If you’re ever caught in a real-life wilderness survival situation like this, what you need to do to survive will depend heavily on the resources you have at your disposal. So, what I do here, in the Pacific Northwest, may be very different than what I’d need to do in another location. With that said, several of these survival skills can be applied in a variety of circumstances. This is real world whiteout survival!

This is the coldest outing I have been on to date. The temperature dropped all the way down to -36 degrees Celsius by the morning. All that was brought with me is what you see… 5 simple items. This was certainly a test of my abilities in the outdoors but enjoyable nonetheless. Thank you to everyone who watches! God bless.

Extra info/FAQ:

Location:
Northern Alberta, Canada

My Clothing:
Outer layer – Waxed cotton
Insulating layers- Wool & Cotton
Base layer – Cotton

I get criticized a lot because I choose to wear cotton in the outdoors. Argue about it all you want but if you keep it dry it insulates almost as good as wool. Keep your clothes dry and they’ll keep you warm. Don’t ever depend on wet clothing to keep you warm… even if it’s wool. Keep. It. Dry.

Are there wild animals in this area?
Yes. There’s a variety of big game (moose, deer, grizzly bears, black bears, cougars, wolves) in this area. They tend to avoid humans for the most part though and don’t pose much of a threat. I do carry a form of protection just in case.

How did I manage to sleep in such cold temperatures?
Simply put: my fire. Having a large, hot fire is the reason I was able to stay comfortable throughout the night despite not having any bedding. The fire I made was as simple as it gets in terms of long fires. I probably should have built it differently to conserve the wood but it was still an effective fire that did it’s job.

My gear:
Knife – Helle Sigmund
Kettle – 9 Cup Aluminum Percolator Kettle
Ferro Rod – Made by Uberleben
Axe – 2 1/2 lb german-made boys axe. Bought used then restored it.
Boots – Sorel Pac Boots
Fingerless Gloves – Fox River Ragg Glove
