Oh, how I know the truth behind that :-)

Pee hack...Empty Sobe bottle.

.... and the mosquitos KNOW you have to get up to pee so they line up for a drink so they have to pee at night! 🤨

Every damn time

Relax warm

Did you literally just call your dog an item? wtf

Dark Meta don’t worry, I really love my dog and she is very well cared for. Hard to get wry humor across without visual cues. M sure she would smile and call me an adequate food dispensary if she had improved verbal skills.

Mine is great for that too

I heat up my hound dog first by putting her out in the cold for an hour or so, and when I let her in her body is working overtime trying to keep her warm and she's nice and toasty under the blanket.

If you live in Alaska, you have a 3 dog night.

„Do 10-20“ push ups“ he says.... Those days are long gone for me. 2 Push ups and I‘m sweating like a pig.

Agreed. Well said.

To warm up while already in my bag, there’s only one possibility afaik - moving around. You can do crunches easily, but just by getting arms out you can do pushups, planks etc.

I usually put my clothes between my ground pad & my sleeping bag. Same reason that you do. The jacket over the foot of the bag is a great idea. I intend to use it. Thanks.

I’m bad about forgetting a pillow so I usually wind up using my clothes as a pillow

The coat/jacket over your feet is a good one. I used this over this last weekend to help keep me feet warm. Them being cold was stopping me from sleeping well.

Love the "jacket over sleeping bag" tip! I have to remember that one! Regarding the clothes: bring an extra-large Ziplock bag or some other sealable container, and put your clothes in that if you intend to keep your clothes in the bag with you. We sweat a surprising amount when we sleep, and the barrier will keep the clothes dry, for when you get out into the cool morning air.

@@elijahmccormick3360 me too.

That's the equivalent of a hot brick that was used before the invention of the hot water bottle.

Here too, since Boy Scouts. Hot Rocks! And instead of a kerchief I used my dirty socks. And I saw a few kids melt a hot one thru the bag LOL

@@larrysmith2638 GREAT TIP! Larry, with you on that. Growing up in Alaska we would always heat rocks with our cook fires, day fires, etc. Smaller ones can just get covered with a cloth (They should NOT be burning hot!) and in your sleeping arrangement. The other is to heat bigger rocks until they ARE very hot then bury them under where you will be bedded down. It can be REALLY cold out yet you are toasty. Naturally it takes a little practice/experience before using it to save your life, etc. DO this kind of stuff when there is no urgent circumstances. Practice all the time for that fall i cold water, broken down or crashed vehicle way back in, or any other emergency you could encounter. Make it a point to PRACTICE on your fun stays.

@@1001CP You are the first person that I ever heard 'allude' to the use of hot stones properly. I've had to put them out of my tent when the world was white and bitterly cold, just too hot, not comfortable. Did you ever see that film 'Jeremiah Johnson' (Robert Redford)? If you have then you'll know what I mean, if you haven't then do yourself a favor, it's a classic. The only thing I might add about heating stones, is don't take them from a river, wet stones can and do explode violently in aggressive heat, but ones that are obviously blackened from previous fires should be fine. My total respect from afar, pax dude and hope your sleeping bag doesn't catch on fire!

@@1001CP I read a story of a family whose suv broke down in the middle of nowhere in the winter. They were stuck for several days with 2 young kids. The way they stayed warm was ingenious. They let the air out of the spare tire and put it in the back seat, then built a fire outside and heated up rocks, which they then set on the metal wheel. The dad finally was able to hike to a place with cell service and call for help.

Correct on all counts, and that's what we teach our Scouts.

Great words. But is it true that less clothes layers on makes warmer sleeps?

Great advice. I sleep exceptionally well out in the bush......except that sasquatch keeps stompin' around & makin' a damn racket!!

I learned to layer down in Boy Scouts and also was taught the same thing in the Marine Corps

@@dugsteppa8430 , with a quality 3 piece sleep system, it is best to sleep nude or in Ranger panties. While you will be slightly warmer this way, that isn't the important part. The truly horrible part of sleeping in clothes, is when you wake up, you will have to get out of that sleeping bag, completely drenched in sweat, then you will know real cold.

lol

This comment made my day 😂

Please explain this

@@drummingearth5326 google novelty propeller beanie

Then you couldn't fly away to NeverNever Land.🤗

Plug 14 I’m laughing my ass off right now but I’m sure it wasn’t funny in the moment!

At least you maintained your sense of humor.

Best. Comment. Ever. Laughed as hard as I did with the video. Guys never get how hard it is for girls to pee in the woods. My daughter never grasped "the pee squat" and peed all over her clothes and shoes. She insisted on going home right then lol.

Jeff Mcilroy haha no it wasn't funny at the time, I'm not sure what hurt more my toe or my backside lol I still love camping tho. Coming back into the tent I trod on my sister who was not best please. Then I said my ass was sore and on fire, she sat bolt up right and said Jesus Anna you were only a minute

Charles walter I laugh about it now lol I'm just a walking disaster

YIKES😬

Beat it Bullwinkle. You don't want none of this...

Seriously though.. I had something similar when I was a kid. Damn Grizzly leaving 8" prints pushing his nose into the tent wall. Then went to the lake 10' away and started flipping rocks over in the water. We were WAYYYY North where the vegetation was so dense it was hard to even find a place to set up a tent. Why won't he leave.. Why won't he leave.. Why won't he leave.. Why won't he leave.. Why won't he leave.. And then.. Literally after an eternity... He finally did. Big hungry f'er! And us without a gun.

And then you had to take a piss right?

But now you have a great story! 😁

Nice comment. Have you tried the Wim Hof method?

@@michaeldean5787 I just tried it for the first time a week ago. It seems to help and I need to do it in a more focused manner.

It won't get easier though and you won't get younger? In colder climates and older times, a lot of people would literally live 'over' the horses/livestock. A whole lot of people survived that way. In these modern days of 'hygene' such practices might be frowned upon as stupid and barbaric, definitely a point there but I say 'screw it' I slept lovely and warm when all the world was white with cold.

You should try the Canadian method of starting a wood fire in -50C mornings. We used to take turns starting the stove in the morning, then everyone gets up and huddles around the stove. The trick is to keep moving lest your feet freeze to the floor.

@@untermench3502 nope! You can have that all for yourself!

That is usually how it works. Tonnes if homeless people have been forced into homelessness by their uncaring governments. Usually its not cheap.

Homeless chose to live his life. You voters choose to leave status quo, while decrying evil gvt, that you vote for?

Not really accurate. Homeless people dont really live like this. They usually get warm blankets, sleep in the cities on some cardboard so they dont have to go far to get their mcdonalds breakfast, get to a homeless community centre or go to a good begging spot. They relatively rarely live in tents. And if they do its some 20 quid tent in a bush. Point being; they live a completely different life as someone camping.

Everyone here is soo wrong..wanna go out on the beat ..lets go..

😂😂😂 so true, im still trying to afford to live like a homeless person,5 yrs and counting almost there lol

Word.

I do this even on overnight hikes, helps reduce chafing if you are covering a lot of miles.

that's a great idea

Bathe in an snow fed creek about 1/2 mile from the snow pack! You will get plenty of oxygen and the night air will almost instantly feel 10 degrees warmer.

Baby wipes aren't just get for going #2, they make an easy way to freshen yourself up on the go in the woods. As long as they're 100% cotton just bring some small paper bags to put the used ones into and you've got tinder to start your fire with too.

@@kirkw1740 I also carry some of those small compressed towels that you get wet they un-compress. They are made out of natural fibers and also make tinder when dry.

I tried this in yellowstone and had much better results fully clothed. Maybe it's my sleeping bag??

Same in the Marines. Stripped down to tshirt and skivvies right before I got in my bag.

Canadian army. We do it too

add this: "...as long as the situation allows ..."

That would be horrible if you woke up to an ambush, and you didn't have time to get ready.

I usually don't have to, but I think having my legs elevated in my hammock, my body sends the extra fluids to my bladder! That or I am getting old! Lol

Headlamp in boot ++vote

I’ve been doing the same thing for about ten years. Works great

A few small stones from the fire will warm those boots and dry them as well .. not too hot tho.. lol

@@billmafturack8189 Yeah, that would also have been easy enough to do.

I realize it’s not alway feasible in every situation but it does work well I’ve used it many times .. I’ve even brought a few stones with me ice fishing heating the smooth flat rocks by the fire or heat source and placing them in inside pockets or into boot tops .. respect brother & thx for your service 👍

Also gives you the mental boost of putting something on when you get up you feel warmer.

Exactly what I do. I put my pants under my sleeping bag on top of my foam mat.

Dont eat sweets late at night either....I learned the hard way....wide awake half the night.

When Trailer Park Boys go camping...

That's my main #1 issue. You got to keep your head elevated.

What part of Colorado? I’m from alamosa.

@@theredflannelchannel7820 I live about 1/2 way between Durango and Bayfield (10 miles in a straight line east of Downtown Durango). I do have neighbors within a few hundred yards, but basically we all live in the woods! (Not a designated "Wilderness Area" just in the sticks.) UPDATE FROM 2 WEEKS AGO: After NOT having varmints close to the house for over a year, we had 2 raccoons 3 weeks ago (only ones that came inside my urination perimeter). THEN, 2 weeks ago I had a "rumble in the jungle" - two coyotes barking and going nuts at a big cat (lion or bobcat, I'm not sure, lion I think - lots around here.). The big cat was screaming like a banshee - about 75 yards into the woods SOUTH of the house - about midnight, could NOT see them or their eyes. 30 seconds later 2 more coyotes started yelling NORTHWEST OF THE HOUSE MAYBE 200 YARD - NEAR A NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. His dog and his horse started going nuts. My usual barking and baying like a coon hound didn't work this time, so I fired a rifle shot into a tree about 40 yards from the house. The animals dispersed but the coyotes barked a few times on their way out. Then it was all over - maybe one 90 seconds in all. None of the animals were "inside" my urination perimeter - so maybe that is still working. One lion, 11 years ago, was in a bush that I walked up to as we were clearing land for the house - he snarled - I walked backward to the Jeep - next day I measured my boot prints at 8 feet from his footprints under the log / brush. Bears run from us / very shy. No problems from any of the varmints except: 1. bobcats eat neighvbor's barn cats 2. rattlesnakes killed a nightbor's dog and bit a horse that survived. NOT really a problem - just be careful. (Contact me if you are ever in Durango - we'll do coffee or lunch.) -Ray

@@GeezerWheels awesome thanks!

I always bring along a Gatorade bottle for that. (Has to be a wide mouth bottle). Also when kayaking or canoeing, you can't always just pull over to go pee so the wide mouth Gatorade bottle is a must! Dan haha I would say once again, love the tips but it just seems inappropriate given the context of this video. 😊😂 👍

RickT - Adventurer went deer hunting and we had a really 🥶 cold day , the guys I was with all went back early, not me , why , I pee in a bottle and put it in my jacket . They said I was stupid for doing that but , Guess who got a deer that day ! 😁 It does work, I always say, don’t knock it until you try it . Been there , done it !

@@johnnybushman651 Yeah buddy, I NEVER pee on the ground when hunting. Right there with ya.

@@johnnybushman651 Just tell your pals that quitters never win.

Cool, I got so much flack for using a pee bottle in my hammock lol, It worked great when it was ice cold and I was tired of getting out of the hammock multiple times.

@Ben Finny .... it might even be true... when one thinks about it !

I'm liking the "Renowned" .......

Whiz on trees? Marking 'hey there's a human here, come eat him" no thanks.

@@tmass7013 One must, as I do, subsist exclusively on a diet of bloody rare red meat. This gives you the urine signature of a predator. Vegetarians leave a trail of prey species whiz... like cattle... and thus invite attack .

@@DARisse-ji1yw I think the author of "Dances With Wolves" was Farley Mowat. The story goes that he marked his territory that way but quickly realized that wolves conserve their pee to be able to mark out their territory, so you have to be judicious in application. Or use a bottle. He drank a lot of tea.

Pissing in and under your bed... is a great way to step in piss when you get up in the morning... AND to create an EXTREMELY unsanitary condition, that not only grows dangerous bacteria and molds, but also can attract dangerous insects and animals to DIRECTLY under your bed. Good luck with that; city slicker.

Lol calling fowler a city slicker is hilarious dude lasted 81 days in Patagonia

@@AflacMan13 Daniel, although I do agree that I personally would lot pee under my bed, you should check out Fowlers channels. In case you were not aware, he is a bit of a celebrity on this topic, super nice guy and has proven himself at the highest level.

@@AflacMan13 One or two leaks onto the soil will not cause you any of the problems you describe. Urine is in fact quite sterile. The scenario posted is very short term. Your last point about bacteria, moulds, dangerous insects and animals must apply to another Hemisphere.

Great idea I will pass along to my wife.

I also don't wake up to realize I have tied myself up.

I stop drinking when I cant walk to the cooler.

Yeah, I really thought that would have been included.

Yep! Layers on top of you are good but layers UNDER you are equally, if not, more important! Great tip!

Also cause there's pee everywhere

@@donaldpayne6940 if that's your problem you probably shouldnt be in the woods

@@ryanvess6162 okay mr golden showers

Watch Jeremiah Johnson sometime and see what Will Geer Say's to Mr. Redford about hot rocks. LMAO-Loved the movie!

A couple of precautions. If you have to drop the rock when you pick it up because it's too hot, It's too hot to go into your bag. It can melt the cover fabric or even . . . . .We had a kid in boy scouts set his synthetic shell mummy bag on fire because the rock was too hot. Burned about a 1 foot hole in the bottom of it. He came tearing out of his tent holding the bag and you could see the flames until he beat the fire out. Second- DO NOT USE ROCKS FROM A STREAM BED. One person I know did this, and thankfully, no one was near the fire when the rock exploded due to the trapped moisture in it.

No just take your dog and wack your cold feet in his belly.

Also, his name is Dan. I am not trying to be rude. I just want you to be informed.

I learned the "head uphill" the hard way! Barf!

That’s the best way to learn my friend!! That’s why you haven’t forgotten about it!! 😁👍🏽👌🏽..... thank you for your response! Hope your well and having a great weekend! Best wishes 😎👍🏽👍🏽

And flashlight and wash supply by the shoes👍.

I'm genuinely curious, are you in tents? , cars? , old abandoned cabin/house your squatting in? Still managing a job and average life?

Where you getting this WiFi and charging from🤔

1. Dont pee on someone's tarp especially if you dont know the owner...you dont know the consequences. 2. BUY A TENT dont use a tarp where something furry can nestle on your face for warmth at night and it's generally more enjoyable in s**t weather too. 3. Buy the right sleeping bag for the season dont go using summer gear in hypothermia weather.

@@Jorn-gy3yc When my family was homeless in the late 80s, early 90s we did all the above. I was very young but I still remember mom, dad, my lil sis, several cats and I living in a tent in Oklahoma that my grandparents gave us, living in our Ford panel van in Missouri, living in an abandoned radio station in Arkansas, living in an abandoned campground dining hall in Tennessee, living in hotels all over the country, living in a Christian mission in Mexico somewhere outside Mexico City. I remember beds made of car seats, of old clothes, of cardboard, and of bare floors. Wasn't always comfortable but we survived.

I put my jacket between my sleeping bag and sleeping pad so that is warm in the morning too

Good point. My son boots froze in the night during a winter survival camping trip.

Unsupervised Adult Water can be boiled in a plastic water bottle if hung over a fire. Similar to holding a lighter to a water balloon, it won’t burst or melt due to convection.

@@Swiat34 this is true. I've seen this done, but unless I'm in a survival scenario, I don't want to risk causing damage to my nalgenes as I'm sure they'll still warp

Shit--- you need at least a quart bottle.

Vladika Michael shoulder hole too

Heck yeah says this side sleeper!

Yep. This was actually taught to soldiers during the civil war. It was called a hip hole

@@elijahmccormick3360 he called it a hip hole.

@@elijahmccormick3360 Taught to me by my daddy, taught to my sons by me. Some good ideas persist!

lol

Chase Ezell I like to do that as well. I also try to eat shortly before going to bed. Even if it’s just a snack. It always seems to warm me up.

That’s what I do. I’m unfortunately at that age where I gotta go several times during the night. So I use a relief bottle. On one trip I almost wished I’d opted for a catheter with a 20 ft length of tubing! Lol

The ones that heat up with air exposure usually made from iron powder and charcoal are also good as they react with oxygen but do not create dangerous gases like carbon monoxide.

Inside a sock though- so you can reach to maneuver it- if you fall asleep with it on your feet it can burn!

@@deborahhanna6640 Be careful with those hand warmers on direct skin contact for long periods of time. My grandson put one on the inside of his sock (inside calf area) and slept with his legs together. Woke up to 2nd degree burns. Long story but it was a slow burn that deadened the nerves overnight. He had to apply an ointment daily and was in Jobes garment for 6 months. Apparently it wasn’t the first the Hospital had seen.

This with some socks or clothes is great for heat and humidity management! I'm going to try the jacket over the bottom of the bag method asap - sounds nice

Same here. My bags are insulated such that I can sleep “commando” or with only my hiking/swim shorts.

Marking your territory.

@@charleswalter2902 seems to work with me. N But once on patrol an elephant and her calf wandered into our temporary base of a big circle round the 30 man platoon and once she got to middle she realised we were there and went a little berserk and drove her tusk through the thigh of my Seargant and dragged him 30 feet before tossing him away and running off. All bloody scary in pitch black. We saw the marks in morning and we realised how lucky we were not to be killed. That happened on border of Namibia and zambia in 79 Sgt kritzinger made a good recovery

Very similar to what I like to do.

The moisture factor is a huge point. A cozy night in the bag also involves continuous pirspiration, esp. feet (more than most people realize). Layering down drastically improves ventillation, so that perspiration can escape vice condensing in an outer layer - this turns synthetic materials from a thermal insulator into a thermal conductor.
