00:00Hypothermia is the silent killer.
00:03In a survival situation, your body heat
00:05is your most precious resource.
00:08Let's talk about the three layers of shelter.
00:11Layer one, your clothing.
00:13Forget cotton.
00:15Cotton kills when wet.
00:17You need moisture-wicking base layers
00:19and a solid waterproof outer shell.
00:22Layer two, emergency insulation.
00:25A mylar blanket is light, but a survival bivvy is better.
00:29It reflects 90% of your body heat back to you.
00:33Layer three, the external shield.
00:36A heavy-duty tarp is more versatile than a tent.
00:40It's lightweight, easy to hide,
00:42and protects you from wind and rain.
00:44The secret, ground insulation.
00:47Never sleep directly on the cold earth.
00:50It will suck the heat right out of your body.
00:53Always use a sleeping pad or dry leaves.
00:57Think stealth.
00:58In a real emergency, you don't want to be seen.
01:01Choose natural colors like olive drab
01:04or coyote brown for your gear.
01:07Knowledge is the only thing that weighs nothing in your pack.

01:15Stay ready.
