I gather 10-survival-items and head out into the Northern Canadian Wilderness to set up a primitive shelter, hunt by primitive stone arrows and longbow, and drive the elusive snowshoe hare in deep snow.

I set up snares, and push rabbits from their daytime hiding spots into a snare line carefully crafted to intercept moving hares. I also build a primitive shelter using natural materials with the help of snow, branches, a shovel and a saw under a fallen tree. I use my pot to make rabbit stew and to boil water for drinking. Winter survival is all about staying warm, and more importantly, staying dry. After that, survival is about gathering food and other sustenance so that it's more about thriving than just suffering.

My 10 Winter Survival Items:

1. Pot
2. Shovel
3. Tarp
4. Lighter
5. Saw
6. Snowshoes
7. Snare Wire
8. Long Bow, and Stone Arrows
9. Sheers
10. Seat (luxury item)

We also catch some snowshoe hares in the deep snow by setting some snares. Winter survival is difficult, but with knowledge and experience, surviving in Canada can still be comfortable.

Primitive challenge with a few simple basic tools. I will show you how to start a fire. After survival is taken care of, it's all about making your situation even better. Finding food, water, and making a shelter is a must to create ultimate survival comfort. I use a saw and basic tools to make a bushcrafter shelter in the Canadian forest using materials around us like tree branches.

Thankfully there is plenty of snow to make water, but first a fire is needed to survive as eating snow cools the body and is difficult on the body's system. Thankfully we have a small billy can or steel water pot for boiling water.
