  • Will Billy Berger be on Naked and Afraid?

    • 2 months ago
    • 10,327 views
    Discovery Channel's extreme survival show Naked and Afraid has been a smash hit. A man and woman are stripped naked, given no food, no water and only one tool for each survivalist as they try to survive for 21 days in the most extreme environments. But in some of the trailers there's a guy who looks strikingly similar to me. Is that me? Would I be crazy enough to strip off my clothes and try to survive in the most extreme environment for 3 weeks? Watch the video to find out!!

    • 2,602 views
    www.primitivepathways.com An instructional video on how to fix those ugly (and dangerous) plastic headlight lenses that become oxidized after years of exposure to the sun. Though a bit out of the realm of my usual bushcraft videos, I still want people to be safe on the roads. If your headlights are faded and yellow, then your visibility is drastically reduced at night! Follow my instructions to revamp and renew those headlight lenses, and make yourself safer on the roads.

    www.primitivepathways.com Spring is here, and it's a great time to forage for wild edible plants! It's amazing how many edible plants can be found growing in your own backyard. Come with Billy Berger as he finds and describes some common wild edible greens. These wild plants are often more nutritious than anything you can buy at the grocery store. Do not eat any wild plant that you are unfamiliar with, as there are poisonous look-alikes. But with proper instruction there are an enormous number of wild edibles just waiting for your discovery.

    primitivepathways.com. If you want to learn flintknapping but don't have the right type of stone, don't despair. Billy Berger teaches you how to make deadly and beautiful arrowheads from the flat bottoms of glass beer bottles. Glass is plentiful, free, and it flakes much easier than flint. Learning the basics on glass makes it easier to transfer those skills to flint. Music: Aitrack by Kevin Macleod (incompetech .com).
