Dude looks like a vendor in a video game who sells you arrows and magic axes.
-
Never has there been a more fitting background for a guest
-
I listened to him like my life depends on it
-
These "ask an expert" videos are quite possibly some of the best contnet on Youtube.
-
I'm literally 1 second in and I'm already like "yeah this dude knows exactly 100% wtf he's talking about" He doesn't survive nature, nature survives him.
-
Absolutely zero concern for Unstable Employee looking for machete sharpening tips lol
-
Can you imagine the filming insurance contract? “Uh yeah, my guy’s gonna be letting loose some leather cutting shards of razor sharp stone and starting bundles on fire around the set. But no worries, he’s probably also the most prepared to solve any issues that might come up”
-
This gotta be top 3 of people that looked the part in this whole series. Got zero doubts this dude knows what he's saying.
-
Cool that he looks the part but also clearly knows science, biology, tech, etc. Great guest!
-
I'm not an outdoors person but I'm watching it because who knows when I might need this 😂
-
This has been the best no-nonsense video about survival in the wild I have ever seen. No crap, no raving about his own skills, just good information.

"Can you make a knife in nature?" has to be the most insane question I've ever heard earnestly asked lol
-
dude looks like the village elder who will kick your butt with great skill if challenged
-
I practiced making a friction fire in the Boy Scouts, what that taught me was that I absolutely did not want to be in a position where my survival depended on me making a fire by friction, and that is why for the last three decades I've carried at least half a dozen mini-bic lighters stored in various places in my gear when out in the woods. Those who can reliably make a fire with just the natural materials lying around have my utmost respect, but I've noticed that when I see it demonstrated successfully, it's usually in an arid climate, not my neighborhood of the PNW when its been drizzling rain for two months straight.
-
Didn't think I would enjoy this as much as I did. You never know what situations you might end up in. One added it of info: If you're going to go hiking alone, always let someone know where you're going and how long you anticipate being gone.
-
I've never seen Donny talk so much for so long. This feels unnatural but satisfying. I love this guy.
-
Dude is the one saving Bear Grills when he gets stuck
-
Love this guy, please do a part 2 😀
-
Please have Donny back, this was fantastic.
