I spent 3 Days in the MOUNTAINS with only a BUFFALO HIDE for Shelter!
Winter in the Rockey Mountains can be brutal but people have survived here for thousands of years without modern technology. In this winter bushcraft and survival video I spend 3 days in the mountains with only a buffalo hide for shelter. No sleeping bag, no tent, no lighter or ferro rod for starting a fire. I'd have to build my own bushcraft shelter and figure out how to stay warm. Grouse hunting season is still open so I took my flintlock fowler along just in case. Staying warm and comfortable with minimal gear required me to make a friction fire, build a bough bed and stacked log wall. I also found a nice tree well which served as a natural survival shelter. A fatwood stump provided all the fuel I needed and kept me warm for days. The folks below are a HUGE part of what makes these videos possible! Please show'em some love!
