Survival Myths vs Reality | What Really Works in the Wild

In this episode, we’re testing fake survival tips and common myths that many campers still believe.
This time, Serhii Kravets heads deep into the Ukrainian Carpathians, a place where nature decides what’s true and what’s not.
Many so-called “life hacks” look great online — but how many of them would actually save you when you’re alone in the forest?

In this episode, we take a closer look at three survival myths that are often repeated in bushcraft and camping communities:
1️⃣ The Moss Myth — Can you really navigate the forest just by looking at which side of the trees moss grows on?
2️⃣ The Straight Line Myth — If you keep walking straight in the forest, will you eventually find your way out?
3️⃣ The Trash Bag Poncho Myth — Is a plastic garbage bag a real replacement for a poncho or survival tarp in the rain?
