Spring Survival Trip – Canadian Forests Part 2 (with video)

So, Having got the basics of our shelter together, we turn to fire and food gathering in the second part of our 1st day in a Survival Scenario in the Canadian Mountains.

If you didn’t see Spring Survival PART 1, here’s a rundown:

The plan was to hit a mountain area of British Columbia where we could test out theoretical skills (this was my first trip) and carry a backup kit if we needed it. I brought simple items (emergency blankets for my dad and myself, flint strikers, survival fishing kit, a cheap rain poncho, aluminum pot and a hand axe and Aegis folding knife (provided by SOG). I also took a small panasonic camera to film all our adventures. Video below!


My dad acting as backup, also brought a pot, plate and cup, in addition to a regular fishing kit. We headed up to a lake on crown land at about 800 meters where nights were below freezing and where snow in the day was not uncommon.
