This Should Be Good!

[DirtTime]

I am a big fan of Joe Robinet. I felt bad for him having to tap out on Alone, not like he quit because he was scared. I enjoy his vids, he knows what he's talking about. I also like that he explains how to do things. Was interesting to learn how Alone ( well, the company that owns them ) pays the local LEO's and Govmnt. to hunt and fish using not so legal ways and implements just to film the show.  Anyway...........

You have to skip to about the 9:20 mark to get to what I am looking forward too. He's doing a 10 day "simulation" of Alone. It should be good and I am looking forward to it.

I'm currently talking a wilderness survival class and have been learning a lot about survival, bushcraft, primitive methods, etc. I don't have the patience to watch the TV shows, but do watch some topic specific ewe tube videos and read a lot. Not familiar with this guy; interesting.

Learned most of mine through boy scouts back when you truly camped. Learned to make moccasins, clothes, bow drill as well as flint and steel for firestarting,flintknapping,how to make a bow,and make snowshoes, Gorgetts for fishing , lashing, sewing, chinking, window glazing ,use of axe, basic survival plants and foods.. cooking .. I don't think they teach any of that anymore....I always look a a new eagle.scout as a bit less than when I was a Scout 30 + years ago

My 30 y.o. stepson is an Eagle Scout and it sounds like he got taught the basics like you did. I was a Cub Scout and never made it past Weiblo. (spelling?) Trying to make up for my misspent youth.

Boy Scout until I was about 14-15. Was a couple merit badges shy of my Life patch.

I was never in the scouts. But wasn't hard as a kid to build forts, lean two's, and once even a small cabin out of downed tree's. Back then a tarp and sleeping bag were a lot of fun as well.
Health keeps me from this type if camping, but I still like watching the vids and learning new things.
That, and sometimes I need a break from watching hunting vids.
