I love my APO-1S!!
I did. I have APO-1S survival knife. Perfect tool! I like it!
Many of us come to hear you "blah blah blah." Continue to be yourself friend.
Hi Lilly! Where can I buy the APO-1S knife? Or have they stopped production permanently?
Dear lily ,I just wish you lived next door and was my best friend. I’m a seventy year old English carpenter, still working,and I love your practical skills ,your accent ,and everything about you !! God bless you in this ridiculous place the world has become. X
I'm 70 years old and I wish she was my girlfriend. I think she's yummy looking.
I have never watched one of your videos and felt that you "BLAH BLAH BLAH " . you always give your best . You're INSPIRING !!! 😁😁😁
I feel the same! Lily is quite a humble human being, yet possesses a great deal of knowledge & experience.
She is amazing and beside sharing her knowledge she did a lot of survival stuff herself - she is a true Inspiration
i also never felt such a way, even if it seems like it is about to happen then Lily is able to remove it beforehand with good editing.
She actually knows what she's talking about.
I agree with you! Lilly is very important font of knolege. 😊
Any shelter that keeps you warm, dry and safe...is a good shelter
Not according to the new commers. They need your penthouse apartment.....and you get to still pay the bills of course.
@@thormidthagahast8914 New commers indeed.
In a survival situation the teepee shelter is the best of all and if you have limited food for energy then it's that type of shelter you have to get built and it doesn't have to be the size of a yurt building, it just has to be comfortable for you and who ever happen to be with , it important you use all material's available from the accident and area around you and its important to leave a hole in the top of the teepee so the smoke can escape. ❤Lilly.
I have a Collins Gem (pocket size) SAS survival handbook. It's good for a "packable" reference source. Plus I'm an old paratrooper and our motto was; "Pack light, freeze at night." A poncho and some "snivel gear" was all we were packing unless it was an actual arctic operation.
Love your videos! One of most knowledgeable people out there. Thank you!
I watch naked and afraid all the time and was completely started by nobody ever put rocks in the fire and then roll them into their sleeping space, people did that in the pioneer days in America. They simply put rocks in the fire as soon as you start the fire and then when you get ready to go to sleep you roll the rocks over to the shelter and they keep you warm all night. When people started living indoors they would put a brick in the fire and then wrap it in rags and put it at the foot of the bed to keep your feet warm all night, they put it under the blankets to keep their feet warm all night.
Just be careful with damp rocks... hahaha kaboom!
My grandma said she used to put in fire roof tile then wrap it up in cloth and put it in kids beds before they go to bed to warm it up 😊
Your so knowledgeable ❤!!! California here, stay safe! Thank you Lilly!🙏🕊🧂
It’s great to see you outside again. I truly miss your videos from the camp.
Hey Lilly, have you ever heard of a book called the lost ways ? It's how the American People survived in the old days.. pretty good info.
Nice....I have that book also.....I did the blueberry infused pemmican beef jerky....
I heard it wasn’t too good for the price point.
Readers Digest published a book called; "Back to the Basics" years ago. It is basically a book showing all the "old ways" too. It is excellent.
@@JFEnterprize ...I was lucky...I got the book on Ebay 2 years ago for $30....Its selling for around $70...
There is one on plants to look for also from a Lady doctor foraging ) something(
Prepare for winter, pray for summer.
You have never experienced an Australian summer....
I love winter. It's the best.
@@WR3ND Only as long as you have supplies, my friend.
@@nocturnaljoe9543 There's a whole world of supplies. I find that it's mostly people that get in the way of them though, sometimes even in the way of themselves. Cheers.
It's a pagan thing, I've done it all my life.
Good points Lilly, thank you! I am adding lock picking to my survival skills, and so far I have picked several locks but it takes practice. Lishi lock pick tools are expensive but work real well. Adding different skills to our survival tool box is a good idea. Lock picks are not heavy or take up much room so a good choice. Take care!
Very smart. I have done the same. I also have sets of commercial, residential, and auto bump keys with a bump hammer. I also have an electronic pick. If they implement Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC's) I know how I will be acquiring resources afterward.
Awesome - lock picks, set of common keys - all i need now is the cloaking device that hides my scent, noise, heat signature, and visibility against predators.
Thank you Lilly, your greatly appreciated. Please stay Strong and God bless you and your family.
Great options for young people, At 74 and with a bad back I would need room for my recliner. Seriously,I would shelter close to home and defend as long as possible. Really no other option for old folks. Thank You for your videos.
I'm 71, building a shelter isn't that big of a problem, exspecially in the area I live. I backpack a good bit. With 3 ruptured disc, had surgery, triplebypass, I keep foing
@@independentthinker8930 Great, I hope you can continue. Good luck to you.

When I was a teenager and was a Scout I went on an exchange trip with a group of German Scouts. While on the camping part of our trip we were devided into mixed German and British patrols and we undertook various activities together, one of which was a three day canoe trip in individual kayaks. At one of our overnight stops we did not have any tents and instead we had to crawl inside our kayaks and just drape our individual groundsheets over the open cockpits and sleep like that. Dispute being right on the rivers edge we were plenty warm enough so we didn’t even bother to prepare a fire and did all of our cooking on small solid fuel stoves(Esbit was the name of the make.) . At the next day’s stop we were issued with canvas panels that we could either lace together to make 1-2 person tents but no poles, we had to go into the forest and harvest a sapling to hold the roof up. That trip was one of the most unusual summer camps I ever went on as a Scout.
Hi. Thank you, once again for sharing your knowledge with us. Your words and knowledge are pure gold. Love from Portugal ❤👍
It's real easy to build a shelter out of packed snow and dig it out and start a small fire inside to melt some snow and let it freeze.If you are in lose dirt dig a trench, start a fire with rocks and then put the hot rocks and coals into the trench and cover with dirt, sleep on it covered with plastic or quick a frame to keep off rain or snow.. putting some pine branches down covered with moss or leaves won't hurt.. Always have some insulation between you and the cold ground.
They don't tell you in the books about what to use when because they figure you should have a brain and be able to figure it out. As for that book you showed, it's good for burning and that's about it. Here's some thoughts from an old guy who's been doing this stuff for over 4 decades. Go take a real course, not a weekend but two to 4 weeks. If only using books look at Camping and wilderness survival by Paul Tawrell. In the situations you were discussing, a wigwam would have been more appropriate and is quick to build. A debris hut is your quickest shelter. Calories are important, but not that important. Learn fasting now and get your body accustomed to going without food. A fire is NOT always the best option, in certain times it will get you killed. Most places in the world you can just walk out, learn navigation by sun and stars. Common knowledge is to find a stream and follow it down. Building a wall reflects heat and blocks wind. Learn what a all night long fire is. The ground will suck the heat from you, stay off of it.
I have a Boy Scout handbook. A little bit of everything.
You Should Always Build an Underground Shelter if the ground Allows it
I much prefer a shelter in the trees. If you have a forest with young trees you can knot a couple treetops together to make a basic roof. Below that you weave you shelter with sticks midair.
Always build an underground shelter? In many areas you would be under water if you dug a deep hole and in any event many areas would be just too cold for habitation if you attempted to live underground. There are no "always" situations in survival which is one of the things that Lilly was saying.
Where I live that would quickly become a pond. Also no means of escape.
"Everybody loves you, when you're six foot in the ground." (John Lennon) 🤣
It makes it easier for the, cough, rescuers... Just add dirt.
Hi Lilly, excellent video. I found pine needles and branches will not block much of (oops, darn flies) the wind but can be used for the structure. So true about cold feet. I like the large A frame shelter, but the small lean-to shelter to start with. One snowy day, my daughter and I were walking in the woods behind my house, the wet swampy part, I asked her to build a fire to see if she could think of where any dry tinder would be. Took her a minute, but she had the right idea, brush the snow away at the base of the trees to look for dry leaves. Oh, Love the technicolor drawings. Thanks so much. 🙂
Lily you are amazing. Helping SO many with the knowledge you've gotten and learned! I hope you know people have a chance of surviving because so many including you share your time to make everyone aware! God bless you BIG!! Bearhugs from this Wyoming Nana💖
Great job, I agree with you. Stay safe. Thanks.
I didnt know that about UTIs. What exceptional info! Thank you👍✌️
Thank you Lilly. We just do not know what may happen these days. The U.S. has had some pretty severe tornadoes, storms with high winds. May God bless you and keep you safe.
My old lecturer use to be a Marine. They leave them with nothing, on an island for 6 weeks. Some people really die. But they have to be able to survive for a minimum of 6 weeks without anything.
Lilly, we AMERICANS here do it a lot different to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Back in the 18th and 19th century. The Native Americans Tribes, The Sioux, Cheyenne, Pawnee, Apache, Creek, Cherokee all lived in Teepees. Today, we go camping in Teepee tents so the fire place is inside in the middle of the tent and keeps us warm evenly. Just like the horse built up America, these Native American teepees kept the Native Americans warm in the winter and cool in the summer. If I didn't have a teepee tent, I could build one to keep me warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Lilly, if you want to be a TRUE SURVIVALIST, please study The Native American Tribes of America, The Sioux would be preferred, but it's up to you. Thank you for your helpful tips.
@@user-qr8bs6mh2w Yes they did live in teepees, look it up.
I would build a wigwam. You can stay in your tee pee and play with your pee pee to stay warm.😂
@@user-qr8bs6mh2w Agree, but most of them were similar.
Oh good lord, the Creek lived in homes made from plaster and rivercane. The Cherokee lived in caves, then waddle and daub homes, then log cabins. How about you use Google before you spout off shit you didn't research.
I'm a bushie in Oztralia, and have built a few shelters in my time. I am a big proponent for the American Indian TeePee, this is one of the best if you have the time. They got it right, next is an Igloo type , and is great for windy situations. By the way, I consider the book Lilly has to be my bible for survival. SAS survival by John "lofty" Wiseman.
Thank you!
Good info. Thanks Lilly
Lilly, already had the small version of the book in the bug out bag. But, on your recommendation in your last video I picked up the large version you show here in this video. There is a lot of great information in both versions, but, the large version is far more comprehensive. Glad to have purchased both. Thanks for recommending it in the first place and for revisiting it here in this video. If you ask 10 people, they will all say they got something different from each of your videos. I have known you for about 18 years now, you’ve never let us down. Please keep up the good work!
YAY!!! So happy to see a new video from you!
Hi Lily, been watching you for years. Really enjoy your content and positive mindset and approach. Also, always liked your base camp overnight stays with your pup. Thanks for doing what you do! I’m from Mississippi in the USA. Stay well…
Awesome. I took a survival course through a scouting group over 5 years of Februarys here in Pennsylvania and can relate to what you are saying. Excellent information. It takes so long to drag in leaves for insulation. Knowledge is power. Thanks. Things don't always go as expected. It is so difficult to start a fire in the snow.
Great information Lilly! You may recall that Matt Graham preferred the last shelter that you illustrated and called it a "wiki up". He and Joe Teti used it to great advantage while stranded in the North West. Their fire was totally contained inside the shelter which made all the difference. Cheers from the US!
Build a circle shelter around your fire. Sleep together naked and roll sides every hour If wind changes so can you. Cheers from Canada
i told my wife, before we were married, that we'd be warmer naked lol. on a boat, it was Cold. we've been married. 20+ years 😂
Thank you lilly
Good video. Nice to see you talking about survival again.
Awesome video. You nailed as usual. I watch all your videos because you are a good teacher. I have learned so much and I thank you. Hope all is well. God Bless you and your family. Stay safe things are changing very quickly and I'm ready because of you including my garden. Thank you for everything ❤️ ♥️ so glad I found you through Nate at CP.
You are such a good person. Keep it up
Thank you Lily, great video.
Makes lots of sense. I like the progressive improving of the shelter !
I had no idea that cold feet and legs could lead to UTIs... that could be very bad, leading to kidney infection and sepsis untreated. How does one treat UTI in the bush without antibiotics??? Cold weather camping even WITH a sleeping bag, feet can get very cold still, even with extra socks. Sheesh. I know some people take heated rocks from the fire and put them near their feet sometimes.

Love the shelter videos. The A frame is nice cause you don't need any tools to build it. They all have there cons. Getting forest debris under your body is extremely important. ❤
Lilly, thanks for the inspiration. I always thought that, if I found myself in a survival situation, I would build a Shawnee wegiwa. I once read that they could build one in less than an hour. Very handy if time is precious. I doubt that I could work that fast, but the design is simple, and local materials are all that's required.
Great info Lily Thanks :)
Great information, friend. Keep doing the things.
Thanks for another excellent video. Informative and interesting as always.
Amazing video! Lots of info that you find nowhere else thank you!!!!!!

@@JFEnterprizeYes! The episode is titled "Welcome to America", it is 2 hours long, and took place in New Mexico.
Top notch Lilly as always Thumbs up 👍🏼
Lilly - Look at Tepees & Yurts, especially for winter conditions.
You are right about underestimating body heat! We live off-grid in an rv, and my husband was away a lot this winter for work. I would have to stay up late enough to make sure that the woodstove would still be going somewhat by the time I would get up in the morning, and i would sleep with three layers, plus socks, plus bathrobe, plus toque and my hood up over top, plus two blankets, plus 2-4 dogs in order to be warm when morning came on nights below -10°c! Luckily our little dog likes to sleep under the blankets down by my feet, she was absolutely critical in helping me keep my feet warm!
Wow you’re the best survival partner anyone could have Lily you amaze me with the knowledge that you have about survival the military taught me but you are the bomb
I would use a lean to, style shelter.. I would also recommend a good wind break, then you don't have worry too much about wind direction.. you can keep the wind to your back and not worry about sparks coming into your shelter.
Thank you for sharing very informative and also good information as welll.
Lily, this is really excellent, thank you! I would really like to see how you would go about actually building one of these longer-term shelters. Cheers!
Good observations, Lilly. Good video.
Thanks Lilly
Dug outs with good drainage, you can incorporate a stove into the mud. Commonly known as foxholes. You can also dampen smoke evidence with a long chimney. Ref: true WW2 survival story occupied territory.
I've never understood the concept of 1 fire unless it's for cooking/boiling only, warm on 1 side cold on the other build 3 or 4 smaller fires and setup in the middle, and as far as survial goes if your staying one place make your fire with thermal mass in mind
Thank you Lilly
I have yet to find a sleeping bag that works in REAL winter conditions on the ground. I've spent serious money on these things, but without a mat of some kind, my body has always gotten cold. My favorite shelter is a Teepee. You can build it rather quickly, and if you make sure the top is open, and use a Dakota fire pit, it stays warm. A Teepee shelter, using vines and branches day one, and continuing to build each day has worked for us in below 30°F weather in the mountains of NC. {Mind you, I wasn't alone}... I'm more concerned with stealth shelters and staying warm than I am with building something to survive till found... I have a feeling, we in the US may need this skill, especially those living in cities who have never tried this before...
Go to Army surplus. Get sleeping bags there or order. only face show or less. Down to 0. My husband has his.
@@milliealford8968 Thank you for the suggestion! Unfortunately, in my area of Florida we don't have any surplus stores near enough to go see them. I've seen Army surplus online, but 2 of my boys are in the military now, and they say the bags we had when they were growing up are actually better. I think at my age now, {66} I'm better off on a cot!! However, in a survival situation, between a fire, and whatever I can find, or have, is better than nothing!! God Bless!
Thank you for all this information I truly enjoy your content. Sending Love ❤
Good Vid. 1) maybe put some rocks in the fire that can be put under you while u are sleeping. 2) Maybe build a Fire in your sleeping area. then put it out. throw dirt over it and sleep on top of it. having rocks in that for that u got hot before. 3) Then build another fire out side your sleeping area for night. 4) Hot Rocks can keep u warm at night under your bag or in your bag depending on bag and temp of rocks.
A sheet of strong plastic tied over the tent stops dampness and rain.
A large heavy duty bin liner (preferably two) is great to carry around when hiking, camping or just in your car. Can make a poncho, allowing you to be more comfortable while on the move, or can be cut around the edges to make a larger shelter (best used to waterproof a structure made out of foraged materials rather than by itself).
Hello Ladies & Gentlemen, I hope everyone is in the Blessings and Peace of God and Jesus. Lilly, each video of yours posted is better content than the other, a high level of REAL information, no clickbait, no exaggerations or anything, everything with a lot of sensibility, responsibility and simple language. I made a comment on the video in which you mentioned the possibility of leaving Austria, and I mentioned that in the extreme south of Brazil, there are cities that speak German, and have German architecture, events, and characteristics, where many speak the language, it could be interesting for you, especially because the southern region of Brazil, especially one of them, is very strong in agriculture and the seasons are well balanced. PS: Here in Brazil there are deaths due to reactions to the flu vaccine, this vaccine has been around for at least 23 years, it was reasonably stable. In 2018, 2019 and especially in 2020 because of C19, I DID NOT TAKE IT, only taking one in 2021, and I DID NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE. Everyone stay with God and Jesus.
Lilly, you hit the nail on the head. Military "FM" books are basic information for soldiers. However, the information is way to general.
A tee-pee would be best, raise the floor with a layer of rocks or dirt covered with brush or grass, stack branches vertically around frame, make it thick, a small fire can be safely built in the tee-pee, don't forget the opening at the top😊
Thank you so very much. I love your videos🙏🥰. I feel the need to ad a very basic information of survival... when we have a second person and we have a reasonable communication with eachother, it is important to sleap TOGETHER, I mean like holding eachother touching each others torsos and legs. Ideally be covered together with something ( ❤the very light silver gold survival blanket is good too) Especially if the one person is weak. Becouse for some reason in this case the body heat has greater value and our wortm breath helps too. Carefully heating at the fire some stones and than putting them at our feet or where needed(covered to dont burn) My grandma would give couple of worm breathes through the blakets to get me warm in the winter ❤
Really dig your channel Lily, much love from Southern California USA
Good video Lilly 👍🏻🏴🇬🇧
Lilly boulders can also be your friend! you build a fire in front, and the boulders reflect heat! but doesn't work if it is raining, cause it can kill your fire!
I would like for you to look into the coal bed shelter with a A-frame shelter built over the bed after you've covered the coals with dirt it's similar to the way our homeless people here in the USA sometimes find heated concrete to sleep on keep doing what you're doing with your videos and sharing your experiences you will be saving someone's life I just wanted to give you more ideas to help you expand your knowledge from my experiences
what beginning bow do you recommend for 70yr old woman, not very strong arms for draw
A cross bow maybe haha. I know they are not legal everywhere though. God bless!
I'm 69. Have done archery off & on over my lifetime. If you have a local archery store or a big sports store close by, many have basic bows you can try out. You may need to start with a youth recurve & move up in draw weight as your strength improves. Get some of the little free weights like Walmart carries & hold them like you were pulling a bow. Build up the weight slowly. If you're wanting to learn archery for hunting & self defense, you will need a certain amount of draw weight to be effective.
Start with 18 pounds for half a year. Then maybe up to 25 pounds. ❤
The SAS handbook comes in two sizes. The one like you have and another that is much smaller so it can fit in a backpack.
I've built a rock shelter with peat moss but give me a Quincy in minus 30s any day with an evergreen floor. Thank you for a very interesting video young lady 🐻 75+🍁 Manitoba hunter Yorkshire expat. PS maybe close the ends but leave vents at the apex open.
Another good video. I really like employing a fire reflective surface. Stick, small logs vertically arranged so create an updraft of the fire and reflect heat towards the occupant of the lean to. The fire in the A frame type structure accomplishes the same reflection of heat. A vent or one end of the roof slightly taller so smoke flows out and awayz
I would also say think of building a raised cot bed with lashing two long branches perpendicular with end spacers. The heat transfer is worth the calory expense, the "lean to" needs a wind wall for the fire so that the fire will not get pushed around if the wind picks up.
God bless you Lilly Lady😊
Great video Lilly
Great video, I really appreciate your channel and the effort you put into it. Thank you very much!

Danke Lilly! Wie immer ein superinformatives Video! Liebe Grüße aus Thüringen!
verry valuable information and thanks for drawing it all out that made it very clear
great job on the video !
Those A-frame shelters can be made to work down to -20C. First point is it's not the same height all along. It should be smaller where your feet are. Second build it out of sticks if you can. Cover it in leafs then use interleaved sticks more leaves then more sticks. The walls should be 15cm thick ay least. Block the feet end with no more than 15cm space all round for your feet and again plenty of dry leaf insulation. The fire should have a small wall to make a convection current to keep smoke away from your shelter. Remember to use plenty on the ground too. the more springy bits of heather over leaf litter are best but almost any bush will do. I slept in one of those for 2 weeks and it was -20 the coldest night. I ended up with a hedgehog and some mice.
Suggestions for January, in North Dakota USA. - 40° f, no trees, no snow and 30mph winds?
Nice . Reynato Werneck , from Brazil - Vitória ES
I didn't understand how to build the lean-to shelter. Perhaps you should expand on that (maybe build one for us?) in an upcoming video.
Heating up stones for your bed may help. Thank you Lilly. From Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks Lilly.😎👍
❤ just make sure you carry in your BOB 2 construction grade trash bags. Use one for the bottom of your body and one to go over your top. This holds all your body heat in and helps to keep you warm. Smaller trash bags can be stuffed with leaves and used as bedding so you aren't on the ground. If you have a whole box of trash bags, you can stuff them and use them as a wall or barrier around you to block wind. Can be used as a tarp to keep the rain and elements from your body.
Love you Lilly!!!
In a high rain fall area the lean to will not keep you dry , dosnt matter about the fire if you are always wet . Also in most areas the wind direction changes between day & night .
Body heat works iF two people don't mind sleeping under the same blanket..
It's nice to give commandos a quick refresher. Those special forces blokes are so forgetful. It's probably a better idea to learn how to select better government. But, you do you.
