Where does he charge his phone?

A potato and a couple of wires! Duh!

Also, it's good to see he has enough for the basics... Website hosting

Oh yes I’ve seen that. You stick the potato in salt water. Or something. Makes sense. You can then use the potato as muntjac bait when the phone has charged.

Even better, use said spud as a battery, then munty bait and, finally, as a starchy compliment to a slice of flame grilled venison.
One potato - so many uses!

Amazing knowledge about the rising water table, the pond and that the muntjac travel through to drink at night. I might have to start putting high seats beside "watering holes".

I struggle to see how he’d have 2-3 weeks worth of meat without cold storage ….

Native Americans seemed to manage with bison and the like, salt it, dry it, jerky or biltong, plenty of none cold storage and preservation methods

Oh I agree, he's a prat, I imagine his ability to survive are dependent on an internet connection and youtube

I found some snare set above hare and rabbit fencing surrounding orchards. In one was the skeleton of a roe.
Really are some lovely people about.

agreed it is possible but I dont think a damp December is the time to start packing your meat down in the UK

and I'm 99% sure this moron heads home to a nice warm bed each night and makes this crap up to look hard - fully surviving on a small plot of land is incredibly difficult and you'd want to have done a lot of prep over summer not the play acting this guy has been at

Inductive charging i suspect, sits underneath a HV pylon its in a survival manual for when the bomb drops, i think he was the author IIRC

with the nice spell of 'drying winds' were having in this part of Essex (he's about 5miles form where i live) i reckon hed be better pickling it rather than trying to dry it!!!

I'm sure he does, as to damp Decembers, it can also be smoked

preppers truly are the gift that keeps on giving !

 

[tackb]

if you look at his socials the address is a house , and it's between hainault forest and epping forest , staged bushcraft nonsense while he sleeps in a house when not on video

whatever the guy seems rather troubled to me ?

He'd keep it in his fridge or freezer..

It used to happen years ago. I remember cycling to a farm where I used to go and shoot Fallow. The lane was very narrow and deep. About a mile before I got there I was nearly hit by a Fallow buck dancing about in the road. It's antlers were caught in a wire snare attached to a young tree adjacent to a deer run up the bank. I got by and raced to the farm for a gun. The farmer came back with me and shot it. His neighbour had been having deer damage to his swedes and set the snare. This would be late 50's when things were a lot different.

I remember snares set for fallow well into the 60s on a certain Sussex estate. The snare was attached to a large log.

Even with. I'd eat that with the missus in about 6 days. (I think!) We'd eat a sheep in about 6 days, normal speed, on a good week

Without sounding too self riteous, he's breaking the law. If it were a keeper the cops would be all over it.
In Scotland we have lost the right to snare [ foxes, hares and rabbits]. When I was keepering 50% of my foxes were taken in snares.
I remember when folk set snares for roe and it was horrible . It's animal.cruelty, he should be reported, by the sounds of it there's enough evidence for him to be done. He's doing fieldsport and more notably deer no service.
