CHECK OUT the all-New follow-up REDEMPTION VIDEO!: kzhead.info/sun/faxpo6locIttoJE/bejne.html (3 days survival camping, dopped back in this area, basically continuing from where I left off in this video! Better get some raft and fishing action going!) Hope you guys enjoyed this complete film edit of the original 4 parts 6-day survival adventure! Enjoy!
So this is basicly a re-upload of the video of a year ago? But instead of 4 video's you made it 1 big video? Just checking if i'm correct. haha
hi bro i was in the military for 4 yrs and i think you did a good job i love to come over to show you a thing or two
All good sense people, all smart or intelligent people, and most other people as well, they enjoy your survival video especially because you have been very considerate to integrate with the nature and did no considerable damages of the environment as we have seen other people doing by cutting almost nonstop trees and bamboos bushes in an insanely huge number (in the rain forest), even cooking in hollow bamboos trunks good only for one time use or twice the most. Such criminals every day or else every two days were cutting bamboos large trunks to make out of them one or two disposable casseroles for cooking in them, which once burned or damaged enough after each cooking or after every two cooking, thrown away and cut other bamboos and trees. In their Asian survival videos people learned mostly destruction of the forest (deforestation), destruction of the environment and of the wild life, in huge quantity non-stop (almost in extermination) in the Vietnamese, Indonesians and other Asian rain forests and tropical rain forests survival videos. Your skills and your video was indeed worth posting and showing due to your great respect of the environment, refraining yourself from doing destruction all around your camp or anywhere else while the others in their videos did mostly destruction, marking themselves as 'criminals' (without even realizing). We do hope for them that one day their videos will be used against themselves for their own prosecution and punishment with requirement to pay huge fines, if necessary, through labor camp prisons (if having no money to pay), to pay for the damages they have created, boasting themselves as very skilled while leaving behind themselves only destruction. You did no such thing and that is why most people appreciate your video and not theirs.
Did not enjoy either of them. Too slow. Watch Survivor Man take a lesson
You could have made the jerry can work just buy puting it in the fire and melting the plastic together
Bro who else is watching this completely baked at 2 in the morning 💀
just you mate
Don’t worry I am I’m just 7 months late😂😂

The fact you were honest about needing to use your emergency supplies just earned my sub and I’m sure I’m not the only one ! Wicked content mate and thanks for keeping it 💯mate
Thanks man! Not all people seem to be amussed by it, or perhaps I should have changed the title
@@SmoothGefixt They dont know how it is to be there in the soaking wet trying for hours to make a fire with nothing. Keep up the good work and dont hear on the haters love also your honesty!
@@SmoothGefixt -Amazing you got a fire started at all in those wet conditions. Great job.
Same
I totally agree, keeping it real is nothing to be ashamed of. Too many people use video editing to hide the real struggles & failures. Being honest, shows that no matter how experienced someone is in nature anyone can have failures. Mother nature can be one tough b*tch, having back up plans (equipment) is absolutely essential! Great video!
The most valuable thing to take from this video is his attitude. Even after three days of being rained on and sleeping on grass and having things go wrong, he maintains a positive attitude and laughs and jokes around. Love it
Absolutely. Once you start feeling sorry for yourself and moaning about the situation you're done for. Its also bad being with someone who has a negative attitude. Makes things 10x worse.
@@threecrownsantiques9376 But you also have to admit, seeing Larry in Alone is hilarious 😂
Well it’s staged so…. 😂
As an Irishman who has lived all of my almost 69 years here in Ireland ( but I have travelled a lot in the Northern Hemisphere Countries also) I have been camping, hiking, hillwalking, cycling, motorcycling, fishing, hunting etc since the 1960's, and anybody who can light a fire outdoors in Ireland without a Litre of gasoline and a box of matches/Zippo has my unreserved admiration. Coinnigh suas an dea obair (Keep up the good work)
I love your reply, As a Canadian from British Columbia the province on the Pacific Ocean where Alone the TV show filmed season 1 and 2 you can have a liter of gas a Bic lighter and with out learning fire making from scratch you are doomed to fail, 12 feet or 365 centimeters plus a year in rain, practice, practice, practice.
Come down to Australia mate. See the outback
Shoutout from the Casey's in Pei Canada
@@gregpenny4384 So true. A lot of these videos are like 'oh just find some bone dry cedar bark' This was the reality. A soggy mess. My firemaking kit involves a saw, knife for splitting and a Bic with a cotton based firestarter as insurance. Gotta get that dry wood from inside thicker material. Then split split split to match stick thickness. Every time i get lazy and think I can get one going with less preparation, I end up failing.
Man, your survival vids are the only ones that feel as real as it gets. No superhero stuff, plain skill and luck sometimes. Really enjoing your work, very informative. Could just watch for hours, not even to mention that you have inspired me to start doing the bushcraft myself. I do not film it, but just for myself. Way to go man! Take care and keep going that extra mile
You should film and see if you like it
@@kamation783 Filming requires an extensive amount of effort. Tried it up myself, and setup alone took me 2 hours because I lack equipment and to be honest it's just inefficient for someone who doesn't have that much free time to learn out in the field.
definently
@Artherion_Thyron If you try it out, send a link! I'd love to see more of this kind of footage
200th 👍🏽
Very cool video. I'm an Army Ranger Veteran. As a grunt, there was no fire in the field. It might give away your position. Many times, I have been so soaking wet with no fire. I have done pushups or air squats for hours in the dark of night to stay warm. It was a hard time, but good to know what the human body can endure in extremes and oh boy, did it make me appreciate good times.
You are much more realistic in your videos than 99% of the other content providers. Thank you for showing what it's actually like. Most people post videos about how they "survived" When in reality they bought a bunch of shit from Amazon and bought their groceries from their local supermarket, then posted their "hard times" in a friends backyard. Respect!
As opposed to: "I found this yesterday..", "I'll use my emergency kit..".
name one “survival” video you’ve seen that
I love how you defend you choice to use the fire steel. As if I can judge you while at home wrapped around a warm blanket. Well done sir. Awesome video.
How lucky are we to be able to see something like this on a whim whenever we want
What a fantastic age we live in 😀
Only if more of us did this over the years the world would be a much simpler place

This is one of your best videos. Congrats on getting an ember in this wet kind of environment.

You rock too..Lilly. 👍
True. Lilly I've been watching your channel. They are one of the best bushcrafts skills.
So glad Ireland doesn't have poisonous 🐍🐍🐍. I hope you catch some 🐠🐟 next time.
Can I hit lilly?
Really enjoyed this short vid! Makes me feel like a kid again. Miss the days I spent in the bush on my own. Normally went for 3 to 7 days at a time. Tried to do it every 3 months and then in December I'd stay for 2 to 3 weeks. I live in South Africa and think it's something that we enjoy doing. Especially us Afrikaans speaking folks. I lived in the mountains for about 5 years. Just me and my dog while I managed a private game reserve and let me tell you..... That was where some of my best memories were made. Keep living this way and you won't grow old. Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa.
What a wonderful spirit this guy is. Real genuine awesome guy. It's amazing he didn't complain for 6 days, but did what he could and got on with it. You never saw the guy lose hope are get miserable, but in some happy content and happy to be close to nature. Amazing attitude and really amazing he did a full 6 days out there. Awesome guy.
These are by far the most life-like survival episodes I've seen. Our northern European terrain, although it may appear and act wild from time to time, has been stripped of natural resources over centuries of rural living, leaving us with a landscape often bear of possibilities for anyone wanting to practice their skills. Julius is so skilled and knowledgeable that scratching out a very meagre existence is almost possible. Well done on how realistic and well-presented your videos are. I really look forward to more (as well as the roundhouse episodes).
Absolutely 💯
Na, you need to watch the guy who spent a year alone on an island. That's real.
Well said. (Bare* )
Outstanding video! Congratulations! As much as I enjoyed the 6 days, I particularly treasured seeing the footage of you and your mate breaking down camp and leaving no trace; such to me is being authentic in means of what you show, what you do and what you stand up to. Well done!
Who else is here watching these because the world is collapsing before our eyes? Prayers
First video I’ve watched of yours, and all I can say is just wow. Really enjoyed every minute of this video and way to underrated. Thank you for making tour videos so realistic and enjoyable to watch
Big respect on gettin that first fire going with the bow drill!!!!!

i think these are the most informative survival videos ive ever seen, well done.
I remember watching you guys a few years ago, I’m glad to see that you’re getting the recognition you guys deserve ❤
I can sense the SurvivorMan influence. I love it. Nature holds nearly all the answers to our problems, physical and mental. We are so far removed from life as survival that we fail to recognize how lucky we are. Love to see this
Excellent footage,kept a positive focus,plus,using methods not many would think of.Well done!
Your positivity is infectious man thanks for sharing!
Honestly as a new viewer I love the vibe and energy that's coming from you bro, I cant believe you're only at 238k subs, because when I watched the video I thought you had at least 2m subs just from the vibe you're giving off, great content😎
I admire your mindset. You stay positive all the time and that helps a lot in that situiation. I remember doing the pretty same thing in the military (SERE) and there was complaining all the time and that really got everyone that didint finish.
I honestly never seen a 1 hour video with so many real survival things personally I sub. Make sure to stay safe so you can keep uploading these crazy amazing video and I'll be watching in the future 👍👍
I appreciate you showing and talking about the difficulties of the bow drill fire. All the things that can go wrong. Most people show all their successes without the hours of failure to get there.
they rather appear like a hardcore survival expert than a human being. I think most would prefer this as there are enough 'survival experts' around.
Ovl
My favorite part was the dog. Such a good boy!
Loved seeing you guys back together! :-) Thanks for another super enjoyable video!
Bro absolutely 💯 best survival videos on KZhead. Watching you had got me back out in nature wild camping with my daughter for the first time after a 5 year break. Amazing stuff cany wait for the next video. 💪 💪 💪
You’re so calm even in that situation 👏🏼 amazing videos
Off the bat I liked and subscribed because this is actually high quality content that takes long to make, appreciate everything put into this video ♥️
This is so underappreciated man, great video.
Nice re-edit Julius. A valuable experience. Thanks for sharing. 👍
I knew I had watched it some time ago... thanks for not making me feel stupid😂
Thank you for this. I suspected it would be much tougher surviving in a wet climate than a cold, dry environment.
U are the first one who takes the crap that others throw in the jungel with u that is hero style thx 4 ur content.
Really enjoyed watching your journey. Thanks for taking us with you.
Excellent filmography. Excellent content. Well done!
"" Honesty is the best policy" nice one my friend great vid 👍🌧️🌧️
The editing in the intro alone made me sub. This is better than multimillion dollar survival shows
You did a great job showing people just how difficult reality can be and how quickly time can go bye,there is always some type of preparing that needs to be done to stay healthy!!!
This is awesome. That you did this alone from start to finish is amazing
kzhead.info/sun/e7ZwZ7arpH6HqK8/bejne.html
what i think is cool is that in many of these type of videos, the body manages to adjust and stops feeling hungry. just amazing
Thank you on sharing your experience, seems like one worth the effort! Wish you more adventures like this one!
This is a SURVIVAL CHALLENGE! This is what videos need to be! No fake no way too prepared just survival. You are amazing.
Beautiful editing by your new editor. Nicely done! Such a pleasure to watch... no taking the viewer out of the moment. Looks very professional.... and your SKILLS, Julius! Amazing. Utterly amazing. I love watching you do what you do.
kzhead.info/sun/e7ZwZ7arpH6HqK8/bejne.html
OOOO 3 day redemption attempt?! Yessss! Watching this in it's short form you really see how drained you are at the end of the 6 days, all the exertion with limited calories really tears away at you! The relief on pickup is amazing to see :)
kzhead.info/sun/e7ZwZ7arpH6HqK8/bejne.html
I see very little survival content in this climate, very helpful for me as I'm just starting this out as a hobby. You are very easy to watch and have earned another sub from me!
Man its great to see again, always enjoying the content! Really qualitiy content, honest and exciting! Greetings from switzerland, keep it going !!
Love your videos. Phenomenal effort getting the fire going with the bow drill, Definitely no shame in using your flint. Thanks for posting.
You truly are a survivalist julius
Incredible. You challenged yourself way more than most survival channels would even dream of doing. Well done!
Man, German YT blew up with a guy making a show "7 vs wild" where a bunch of youtubers had to survive one week in Sweden with just 7 items and no food. It was a good format and hats off to anyone who pulled through with that - some amazing endurance and willpower for some of them. But you are doing this so casually "Oh the time went by so fast" - hats off mate.
I wish everyone showed their campsite cleanup like that. Props to you! 😊
This is amazing!! To think some people needs crews and loads of people just to make videos like these. You made a whole documentary yourself that's incredible!!!!!!!!!!!
At the end of the day youre a content creator, we dont expect you to die for entertaining us
Surviving in Europe omg so hard give this man a trophy
Amazing you got the bowdril Julius. And you made the right decission reaching for other method of firestarting. Another fantastic and very valuable video.
kzhead.info/sun/e7ZwZ7arpH6HqK8/bejne.html
This is a brilliant video. It really shows me the value of skills and more so, knowledge. Also, makes me appreciate a lot of the kit I like to play with. No kit seems to be so much more difficult.
kzhead.info/sun/e7ZwZ7arpH6HqK8/bejne.html
Very humble and honest guy, earned a like and a sub👍 Great video!
I learnt a lot watching this video, looking forward to watching them all!
Good to see You guys again, I was worried some tthing had happened because of the long break . Gllad Youre back Stay Smooth :)
kzhead.info/sun/e7ZwZ7arpH6HqK8/bejne.html
Your a champion dude! Good dedication and determination! Sad to see you solo tho! But still awesome nonetheless!
this man is next level, i have never seen anything like this before
This man is a legend keep up the good Work
Your bow drill technique has improved so much. I used the hand drill almost exclusively for 6 years. Your commentary described the process perfectly. Go slow and build your heat. Then start applying pressure at first sign of smoke. Happy to see the progress
I am no expert by any means when it comes to bush-craft/survival experiences, though I watch alot of content related to it since it interests me so much. Unfortunately there are very limited locations to actually employ things I have wanted to attempt for a while now myself since I am currently livin' here in Dublin. I have noticed though, ALOT of survival videos from people from all different locations, who have been doing challenge after challenge and series after series, and getting the bow drill very VERY wrong. They go nuts on it straight away trying to rush their ember, instead of doing what you're supposed to and slowly and steadily building it up as you described. In the end it causes what should have been like, a half hour of work to turn into several hours of failed attempts before they just get lucky.
@Alan Hughes yup and as cheesy as it sounds, that coal is so delicate.. it's first breath should really be the air around it. Blowing on it should be to move air towards it and create a current. Not to blow your CO2 on it.
@@PackRunner3 Hah, right? I swear sometimes its like they blow on it like crazy simply because it seems like its what they're supposed to do, or they were taught that way. Like, nah mate, it has to be a carefully directed and controlled flow of air, not just randomly picking it up and blowing. Might work to maintain the ember when in great conditions but it is really bad practise for when you find yourself in crappy conditions where that "style" (shall we say) simply results in failure after failure. Gotta admit, I am curious now, if you get to do much survival/bush-craft related stuff in your free time?
@Alan Hughes I don't live far from unregulated desert canyons where I'm at. I used to go almost weekly on survival trips for the better part of a decade. Nowadays my trips are few and far between but I have a solid 9 years at least of making friction fires etc
@@PackRunner3 Dang, that sounds pretty awesome mate. Gotta admit I am quite jealous. xD I used to do a fair bit of Hiking, Kayaking, and even a bit of Abseiling when I was a kid. My Step Bro's Dad was an avid out-doorsman. As far as camping, bush-craft and survival goes, I have VERY little real world experience. I currently have a bunch of gear (medical equipment, tools, fire sets, cooking equipment, fishing equipment, etc.) that is currently sitting gathering dust. :/ Although I have learned alot, through watching videos, general conversation with people I know with real experience or comments with individuals like yourself, That is sadly nothing compared to your level of experience, hence jealous. lol
YT just recommended to me this pure gold.
The real survival video i searching for . Keep it up bruhh 👍
this is one of the most detailed and well edited survival video i've found so far and I find you really entertaining and i want to thank you for that. You earned a subscriber!
One theme of this video seemed to be finding a balance of challenge and enjoyment. Well put in saying the "survival world" and the "Bush craft world". fabulous job!
kzhead.info/sun/e7ZwZ7arpH6HqK8/bejne.html
Neat jar boiler trick, with the stick turned sideways inside. *I appreciate the realness of showing the failure to start a fire and the reasonable decision of using a firestarter rather than needlessly risking severe hypothermia for the sake of a challenge.*
Very cool video! Love these survival videos, but that one in particular, because it was very genuine. Thx for the effort :)
YAY!!!! Been loving the roundhouse stuff BUT it's so good to see another "survival challenge" type video! Wishing you folks all the best and super excited to see what comes next!!
It is nice to see activity on the channel but looking forward to NEW content as opposed to recut older material.
So glad this video got the attention it deserves ! conrats on 4 Mil veiws !
I love this video cause he used his emergency kit. It goes to show how important a fire is and thats something to take away from this. Also the bow drill fire during the rain was impressive as hell.
Dude!! You are Hard-Core! Nice to see some realness to your videos. Finally some real bushcraft skills. Too many bushcrafters on KZhead in this situation have a tarp somewhere behind the camera they can get into. I can see you are soaked through and those of us that have been there know what thats like and how that feels. Could see your hands shaking too which is like 60% 70% harder to work... fair play brother! Great video! Really nice seeing you work! Well done mate! Keep up the great vids.. keep it 💯 real! 👌👌
just subscribed, just shows how difficult it is to make fire in the rain...can sometimes be really difficult even with a fire steel 😂 great video man!!👍👍👍
I like it. Subbed. Honest , no BS, just showing the struggle as it realy is.
First one of your vids I watched love it man

Great video lad! You got yourself another subscriber!!! I respect the honesty in this video!
good video, keep going with this stuff!
Watching your vids for like 1 week now and i love the surviving and the Camping ones the most Take care of yourself and be healthy!
This was so fun to watch, i used to always dream of attempting to do this but ive never had the motivation or the knowledge that i have now back then, Top quality video.
You created fire, but still needed to use your emergency and was honest about using it. The rain was your enemy. Awesome video 👏👏👏
Wow, you actually taught me some things I didn't know! We got stinging nettle everywhere around my property. After walking through it and not knowing what it was at the time, I would've never guessed it was edible. I don't mind the sting in "small doses" guess you could say but I'm gonna have to try it some time now lol.
Ye just remember to fold it inwards
Nettle was used as long as man existed. Vikings brought it with them when settling in Greenland. Leafs are nutritious, cooked as soup burning disappears and fibres can be used for cloth.
make sure you gather them with gloves and you can put them over the fire for a few seconds to burn off the stinging needles... or just plop them into hot water that you will boil, either way works for getting rid of the stings. you can use nettle for string aswell but it needs quite a bit of mucking around to make
Love to see you doing that stuff, that you apperently love. Keeping going

What a wonderful video. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Amazing editing skills to make it look real as you did. Amazing what one person can do with editing.
Had a bit rough day today. But the way you approached the difficulties positively.. it literally made me feel better.
That's nice to hear:)
22:43 I looked into it. It may just be best to move the glass further away from the fire. It looks to be the temperature change in the glass that causes it to break. In the fire it gets much hotter than the 100C you need to boil the water. You could also possibly use some rocks to shield the glass from the fire a little to control the heat. What sort of food were you planning on? Were you looking to use fish traps?
One of the Best Videos i ever saw
Issue with glass is uneven heat. It needs to be heated up evenly on all sides, if there is too great of heat discrepancy it loves to break. Fill jar with water and drop in hot stones, that should be enough insulation with water to not break the glass.
Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤️ "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..
Just a researsh quote here: ''the climate impact of bitcoin in 2020 is estimated at 402 kg of CO2 per transaction. This equates to two thirds of the monthly emissions of an average Dutch household (611 kg of CO2 per month)''. That be worth a bit of cryptho profit, folks?
