Just a tip for anyone who happens to see this: If you find water such as a stream, follow it downhill. It could lead you to a larger body of water where there may be people to help you.

Imagine building a camp for yourself in a dense forest for 3 months only to find out you were a couple meters from the path

And the most important tip: "Don't forget to save your game." This is helpful if you got attacked by cannibals.

Step 1: Mark your current position with anything easily recognizable (make something out of the things around you).
Step 2: Check how long you've been walking.
Step 3: Walk towards one direction passed the minutes you spent getting lost while making sure you mark your way back.
Step 4: If you spent 20 minutes getting lost and walked 30 minutes towards one direction to no avail, go back to your mark and try another direction. (Repeat and you'll be out within the day).

What if someone intentionally left you in the middle of the forest while you were sleeping? Walk towards one direction and hope for the best while eating and drinking things along the way.

This is the most realistic scenario on this channel, I don’t think getting swallowed by a whale will happen to me but I’ve been in a lot of forests’ *especially while stoned LOL*

One other thing to remember is when you leave the pavement, you become part of the food chain. 😨

My dad taught survival in the military, you have a lot of the right steps but you're missing a few and they are in the wrong order. My dad taught mallow hierarchy of needs. The order he taught was; First aid (if you crashed or there was an accident or injury), Fire (for heat and to help relax), Signal (bonfire or giant S.O.S in snow or sand, you could even clear an area and carve in the dirt), Shelter (try and build a few feet away from the fire to heat shelter), Water Then Food.

I'd like to get lost in the forest with my crush after watching this video she might marry me after getting rescued

[AbeLeon]

More importantly, for authorities to start searching you once your get lost, tell your friends, family and local forest authority of your plan- intended route, days and when to expect you so that they can start search and rescue once you didn't make it back until the stipulated time. It was the mistake done by the lead character of '127 Hours' movie. Nobody know that he got lost and so no one searched.

This series is young, but it’s so dope! I love how they give an almost continuation video after each video. That idea is so cool cuz it’s helpful and also serves as dual promotion. It makes you wanna watch the next recommended vid, where as other channels usually have a bunch of their most recent/popular vids. One thing I do wish is that they actually continued from the previous video, even if for a moment. For example with this vid, the previous one was “falling in out a plane without a parachute”. It’d have Been cool if they started this vid with how they set it up at the end of the last one. Like, “so what happens when you survive without a chute and now you’re lost in the woods?” You could give a brief “synopsis” I guess, before transitions to “So what if you’re lost in the woods and didn’t survive a fall from 3500 feet in the air”, because I’m sure the outcome, and process for both scenarios would be totally different 🤔. If time is the issue (because I do notice the length of the series), I’m sure we wouldn’t mind a couple extra minutes on each of these entertaining ass videos 😅😅. Anyway I love the content! It’s definitely one of those where I thought I knew something, but ya proved to me it IS true that “ya learn something new everyday” 🤷🏾‍♂️😂. Peace love and joy to you all! I wish you continued success!!

3:57 so you think I'm going to eat that ?
NO.

When I was 14 I got lost in the woods for a full night, was able to get out by noon the next day. Ended up on the other side of town then I entered in.

I once got lost in a public park. My brother and I went off the beaten path and wandered into the trees where no one goes. We found a lake and a Sandy beach but I was hyperventilating cause this was an isolated area and anything could happen so I managed to backtrack us until we got back to the park road. But it was borderline scary, I can’t imagine a whole ass forest. This is why I won’t go camping.

Its actually astounding my dad hasn't been lost (completely) and got us lost in the forest before. As I have followed him on some forest trips that were kilometers into the forest (at most about 20 kilometers in a day), and many of the times he has even been uncertain on where exactly we are during those trips.

Nowadays I dont voluntarily go on forest trips anyway because I'm scared of the ants and they are everywhere in the forest at summer (in winter I would probably freeze to death anyway). The trips I have been one I spend most of the time running from those ants and only resting in very specific spots to avoid them. That's probably the main reason I would not survive, I would spend way too much energy just avoiding bugs and maybe get in other dangerous situations because of it.
