Wilderness Survival: Mountain Lakes (sample clips) with Thomas J. Elpel

Elpel and daughter Cassie trek five miles back into the Rocky Mountains for a few days of fishing, fun, and survival living.

Shelter: Rock and log shelter with a fire.
Fire: Flint & Steel Kit + Making char cloth.
Water: Drinking from mountain streams.
Edible Plants: Wild onions and glacier lilies.
Meat: Mountain Suckers-fishing by hand, snagging by hook, plus fishing laws.
Cooking: Cooking fish on hot coals, plus steaming wild vegetables in a stone oven.
Tools: Tin can knives, plus forging the nail knife and making a pine bark pot.
