    1:41 you can also simply eat pine needles. but wild plants have little calories (great vitamins and minerals though). but I warn you, don't eat male pine pollen (it's strong in testosterone and is possibly a cheat in sports)

    the amount of time you need to boil water for actually varies, it's been known to simply need to start boiling before it's good enough, sometimes they say 3 minutes, sometimes 7 minutes. another interesting note is at higher altitudes it boils faster than with the same heat closer to sea level, probably because of air pressure.

    I don't call fire a survival priority because it's useful for more than one of the priorities, and is more of a tool than priority, like a screw driver for assembling something, a tool, not a goal.

    1st 20 seconds… you need to improve your order, I would rank them: clothes, shelter, water, food. more… (this is for in general, there will be specific situations where you need to break this rule, be sensible.)

    Others say if you're stranded at sea and have access to fresh water, drink it immediately and stay hydrated, then you have the Bear Gryll's through it and drink your urine. Makes sense with drinking as much water as possible, the clearer the urine. Weird comment, but practical since you guys looked this up as well.

    The world is kinda turning into a shit-show now, so I started doomsday prepping. This is very helpful, I’ll let you know if I’m alive in a few years 😀

    The chance of the world ending with a bang is something like 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% and if it ends with a bang we ALL die, there is no surviving bangs, whatever meteors or nuclear the life on the planet will die then start over..

    The chance the world ends with a whimper is 99.99999…9% Let say the world slowly and painfully ends in us destroying it with pollution, that won't kill civilization, it's just going to take more effort to put food on the table. It will kill people slowly over time, but it will ALWAYS be better to be in a group than alone, so civilization will continue.

    There is no scenario where making a secret bunker and hording stuff will result in you being better off than a group that will just steal all your stuff. The ONLY way for human life to survive better than others is in large enough groups, there is no Mad Max scenario where the small group beats the large one, movies with bad guys ALWAYS make the bad guy stupid to give the "hero" a chance, in the real world heros dies.

    In Utah it wouldn't be safe to eat rabbits or hares, as they have a disease thats hard to cook out. You have to over cook your meat and attract point itd probably be to tough to be edible. So when eating an animal you have to be careful as it may have rabies or something else that is transferable, redering your survival efforts useless. You can have a fire in your hut as long as you are able to create a vent or port for the smoke to exit. Mud,thatch,clay would make a decent chimney.
