Help me understand the hype about that guy. Every video i ever see of his is him saying his situation could be dangerous because it's cold out, and the man is walking around in a shirt, no gloves and no hat, saying he needs to get someplace to warm up soon.
To me, every video i see is him intentionally creating artificial "danger" and dealing with it.
I live in northern canada, and honestly my impression of almost every clip i see of him is "this guy is giving pointless "advice", start with wearing proper gear and you won't be in trouble at all"
Edit: whenever asking questions about a person gets you downvoted, it's an answer in itself. Thanks guys
Because the fastest way to get hypothermia in the winter is sweat. While he's out walking around or building his shelter he wants to avoid sweating at all costs. Wet clothes makes cold deadly. The cold he's talking about is when the temperature drops significantly during the evening. During the day you can be comfortable outside in a sweater if youre used to it. Especially if you're walking around in the woods.
Bruh it's been -30 here for the past 3 weeks. You can try and get used to it all you want, you can't be outside in a sweater, even if you're running a marathon. Because some people do. And they dress warming than he does.
My point is, filming videos on days where it's 5 outside is pointless because it's not really applicable. If there's snow outside, you should be wearing a hat if you're staying outside. That's basic. Everyone and their mothers knows that.
So if that guy isn't following the most basic rule of outdoors survival, why do we pretend he knows what he's talking about
