My son Nate and I traveled deep into the old forests of Virginia to hike and camp like frontiersmen, with our wool blanket for our bed and our possibility bags. We ate old school survival food we cooked ourselves and caught and ate our fish using a primitive survival fishing hook called a fish gouge.

Lucca Nate here at the altar boys YouTube channel and today we are doing another survival camping video you sat in aid we're doing frontiersman style surviving we're here in the old-growth.
Forests of Virginia and we've got our possibilities bags ok these little these little leather satchels here I have everything we need to survive you got yours yeah I do some toilet paper some paracord marshmallows and hot chocolate headlight oh he gets a headlamp hand warmers in case he gets cold at night and a little.
Tinfoil know you like your you like your possibilities bag yeah it's cool yeah there you go perfect neat size all right these little leather bags are called possibility bags and everything you can need you can put right in these little sturdy leather satchels and let me show you what's in mine so inside this is my fire-starting kit and I'll.
Show you more about what's inside that a little bit later and I've got some flour some spices and I've got some oatmeal in here and everything we need to cook our next several meals is in here as well as a little bit of fishing line other than old bags we have a few other things Nathan brought this along we're going.
Hobo style camping here apple and orange anew and a far as sleeping bag intents are concerned we got one wool blanket between the two of us yeah so we explore a little bit find a good spot to camp and then you'll see about maybe catching some fish yeah all right let's do it so if you're building a survival shelter and you need like shingles to make it.
Waterproof this is a really great way to do that hey here's another one over here take this take this tree out look at this yeah that's a twisty tree yeah nice and flat nice and dry okay well why don't you lay down and find the spot that you think is the softest and do you want to make it a little softer here watch this I'll see a trick.
Go over there and grab the corners of the blanket maybe you can pick up all these leaves get them over here there we go its mother nature's beanbag chair you know the older I get the less I worry about staying warm at night and the more I worry about my back and so having something soft to sleep on makes.
A huge difference but I don't like sleeping straight on leaves because they poked and the itch and there's bugs in there and stuff so if you can throw a blanket on top of a pile of leaves ain't too bad at all oh yeah there's a little spider with the pig's head there you go you want me cut it up for you you like your Apple yeah I love walking through.
These old-growth forests but they're kind of barren because there's no undergrowth at all there's no berries there's no herbs and there's not much in the way of wildlife because there's nothing to sustain them in this particular forest I haven't seen any sign of beer I haven't seen any squirrels so I usually go catch a fish.
All right we're gonna try our hand at doing a little fish in here but we're gonna need some bait let's see if we can find any earth and normally you just scratch the leaf litter a little bit get down to the soggy stuff and you'll see earthworms but it's so dry right now that you get down to the soil and it's still dry so.
The earthworms if they are here are way down deep I need to find someplace soggy there's a little moisture oh look at this look what I just found is that cool or in the right spot whoa whoa hello hello I found one Nate nice one I've been turning over a lot of logs and digging up a lot of mud and I found one.
Worm hey check this out oh-ho a little piece of cane or bamboo that it's gonna be useful there all right the little piece of sliver I put on the end of my line it's called a fish couch it's a primitive fish hook the fish swallow it and as soon as you put tension on the line the.
Points sticking to the side of the fish's throat so if it goes into its stomach or throat you've got a pretty decent chance of catching it but you can't set the hook it's not like a fishing Clark you just gotta wait until they swallow it and then gently pull the fish up and it's either in his gut or it's not and you lose a lot of bait this.
Way but it works best with bluegill sunfish that sort of thing so that's what we're trying to do now I am targeting panfish crappie bluegill sunfish that sort of thing you want to find them look for a little bit of deep water with some snags and overhanging trees that's your jam right there.
There you go there you go yeah he's pulling it bite yeah oh it's so tiny I got a fish uh-huh there we go a little green sunfish now they've got bigger mouths than bluegill do compared to their body size so he was able to get this thing down but let's see if we can get him off the hook once the fish swallows a gouge often the only way to.
Get it out is to cut him open there's not really a lot of catch and release with fish gouges let's see oh I got it I still have the worm you think we should eat him we hold him closer to the camera he'll be a bigger meal there we go the world's tiniest three you're here hold on to a pen when you're fishing in backcountry places you really got to be.
Quiet and stealthy when you're fishing in city ponds it don't matter it's like people who live in the big city they don't hear the traffic and the city noise it's all white noise to them but if you're from the country and it's quiet out and you hear anything unusual it really sticks out it's the same thing with the fish it's so quiet here that.
Any noise sticks out oh you know bite well I'm getting a bite oh oh there we go oh you got my world my fish girl just broke so I'm gonna really quick make another one the bamboo piece I left it way over there so I'm just gonna grab any old piece of hardwood I think this.
Is a little oak branch it should work just fine I have spent a lot of time fishing with fish gouges and a couple years ago I really obsessed over it and I made him out of wood I made him out of bone and I really wanted to catch a catfish with a fish gouge and I burned through probably 15 blue gills and got lots and lots and lots of hits.
And never once got one to really properly hook up and what I discovered was that you waste so much bluegill meat trying to catch a catfish that you're just better off eating the bluegill then trying to use them as bait to catch something bigger for whatever reason it's just I never got it to work with a catfish that's how it is usually in.
Survival situations you're better off eating a whole bunch of little animals and plants rather than trying to spend a whole bunch of energy chasing a moose or a buffalo or something all right there we go got another fish couchant honestly I kind of like this one a little better it's a little hair larger size is really important with fish gouge is too small.
And it won't set too big it won't go down so you got to make it just right check it out if the blue gills are bedding I can see you're out in the middle there's all these dimples the size of dinner plates all over it looks like the surface of the Moon just all these craters and in the center there's a pair of blue gills in there and that's.
Where they're making their nests so the blue gills not many of them are gonna be in the shallows if they're out spawning there they're gonna be out there on those beds unfortunately I can't reach them from here so it's part of the seasonality of everything you know there's time and a season to catch blue gills and there's a time in this season.
To gather acorns and a season to get morels and stuff and you've got to kind of know what's in season in your location well we fish for about 30 minutes and managed one very tiny fish so we weren't skunked and it was a decent little demo but that's my experience with fishing with fishing gouges just takes a lot.
More time and effort I really didn't need to bring a hatchet on this trip but this is one of my projects over the winter and it's kind of sentimental I I really loved it so I brought it along perfect that's what we needed you tired Nathan is that comfy all right all right let me show you my fire.
Starting kit here okay inside I have a bunch of shredded jute this stuff is basically twine then I rub on a belt sander and it makes these fine shavings that just go up like gasoline absolutely wonderful stuff and deeper down in here I have a little bit of char cloth in a dime bag and I've got a steel striker and a little piece of Flint char cloth.
Is basically charcoal eyes cloth now what I'm gonna do and I'm gonna pinch that char cloth right up against the sharp edge right there because that's where I hope the sparks are gonna go and I'm gonna grip my striker and we're gonna go like that where that what I do with my yeah that's how you make fire with.
Traditional flint and steel right there put that back in my little can all right let's get Dinner started I've got some olive oil I've got some bread flour I've got salt and pepper a little bit of honey some butter add some oil I'm gonna add a pinch of salt I'm gonna add some butter into the dough all right we're gonna make a very basic.
Flatbread and cook it on this rock over here and you don't want to add too much water you want it so that the dough doesn't stick to your hands because if it sticks to your hands it'll stick to the rock tiniest fish ever all right let's cook him up all right that's feeling good get that butter melting on here you know put some honey.
For our little fish we're gonna give him a little salt just gonna rip off his spines try to make a meal out of this now if I didn't have honey butter flatbread I would not throw the guts the way I just popped the whole thing in my mouth but I do have it so I can afford to be selective mmm little bones it was one one mouthful let's do round two oh.
Yeah this is a different type of survival camping we're packing really light we're eating simple foods we're not building any sort of shelter really this is for tracking cross-country and good weather you know you need to go somewhere on foot it's gonna take a couple days it looks sunny and nice you go and do this sort of thing and this.
This is real frontier style cross-country survival camping and it's kind of fun all right buddy you got dessert there my cousin fire but I'm just bored out yes we caught little toad like IQ well I'm gonna let him go okay well the sun's gonna set on us appear really quick so I gotta do a couple things to tidy up.
Before he gets dark first off I'm gonna take my shirt off because I'm really sweaty and I want it to dry and I want to get dry before the Sun sets and it gets cold okay the other thing is I got to pick up all of our stuff that we scattered all over and make sure it's all put away so I can find it in the dark it's getting dark and I promised.
Nathan we would watch some movies before we went to sleep so I'm gonna bust out my phone I downloaded the new spongebob movie yeah well the Sun is set and the movies over and the bugs are out to keep the spiders out you know let's go to bed I'll see you guys in the morning while I kept Nathan up late last night so I'm gonna let him sleep in as long as.
He can and I'm gonna get breakfast ready all right so I got some leftover butter leftover honey and salt raisin and steel-cut oatmeal so it's different than the instant oats you're used to this stuff tastes so much better oh there we go steel-cut oatmeal with raisins butter and honey only way this could be better.
Is if I had some cream to put on it there we go carved myself a little spoon well I made a fire cooked breakfast ate it and Nathan is still out like a light that boy can sleep anywhere let me show you something I got with me this Garmin inReach mini it's a GPS device but it's also a whole lot more than that this allows my cellphone to send text.
Messages allows my wife to track my location while I'm out here without cell service and it's just a nice little has this SOS button I can flip up the safety cap hit that button and it puts me in touch with first responders but it's also just nice to be able to text my wife and her to be able to go online and see where I'm at when I don't have cell.
Service so it just takes a lot of anxiety out of things and it's just a big safety plus because if something happens out here I can get help immediately hold it let me get that way and look I even carved a spoon for you well did you have anything crawl on you in the night I had a couple ants get on my face last night.
Well Nathan did you have fun well I hope you guys enjoyed watching this video as much as we did making this video hey if you want to see more camping and survival videos we've got a ton of them don't we Nathan no we'll put links to all of that in our video description don't forget to click subscribe we put out new videos every Saturday morning.
