6 Days ALONE in the ALASKAN Wilderness | No FOOD, No Water!

Join me for a week long solo wilderness survival challenge in the backcountry of South Central Alaska with no food or water. Watch me navigate the wilderness alone, find food, set up for tarp camping in a variety of weather conditions, and deal with hungry bears and other wildlife.

By heading into an unfamiliar environment with nothing but my gear, I aim to demonstrate how to prioritize basic needs like water procurement and shelter building when you are completely on your own. This footage documents the raw reality of solo survival in extreme conditions.

Whether you are interested in wilderness survival strategies like off-grid food preservation or simply want to see how someone handles a high-stakes bushcraft challenge, this trip highlights the essential mindset required for solo wilderness survival. I break down the initial assessment of the terrain and how I plan to secure resources in a place I have never visited before. You will see firsthand how quickly the environment dictates your survival priorities and learn how to smoke salmon for storage when there's no refrigeration and may even pick up a few camping hacks or camping gear tips.

Subscribe for weekly wilderness survival breakdowns and comment below with your biggest fear about being stranded in the backcountry.
