Wilderness survival refers to the knowledge‚ skills‚ and techniques necessary to survive and thrive in the wilderness. It involves being able to solve basic needs such as shelter‚ water‚ food‚ and fire‚ without the amenities and comforts of modern civilization. It requires physical endurance‚ mental resilience‚ and adaptability to changing conditions. In a wilderness survival situation‚ an individual must be able to assess their situation‚ use their environment to their advantage‚ and make sound decisions to ensure their survival. This usually involves making a shelter to protect yourself from the elements‚ finding and purifying water‚ gathering and/or hunting for food‚ and starting a fire for warmth and cooking. The overall goal of wilderness survival is focused on being prepared and resourceful in the face of adversity and being able to thrive in a natural environment without the modern amenities and conveniences that we all take for granted in our everyday lives. These YouTube channels all champion wilderness survival and the creators below express their love of the outdoors through the content they create. 10.

David Canterbury Founded in 2008 845‚000 subscribers Previous rank = 9 David “Dave” Canterbury is a bushcraft stalwart with many years of teaching under his belt. You may also recognize him from Dual Survival with Cody Lundin for the first two seasons. YouTube Channel Dave is one of the older entries on this list‚ with plenty of baggage in tow. He was not so forthcoming about his actual military experience on the great TV show Dual Survival‚ which led to him not showing up in later seasons. Despite the controversy‚ he still has a wealth of knowledge and a strong following on YouTube. He has authored bestsellers including Bushcraft 101‚ one of the best wilderness survival guides you can get. His channel explores outdoor self-reliance and includes uploads from his Pathfinder school series: 7. Donny Dust’s Paleo Tracks Founded in 2015 1‚080‚000 subscribers Previous rank = 8 Donny Dust is a USMC vet with an enormous amount of remote primitive survival experience and know-how.

Corporals Corner Founded in 2009 1‚080‚000 subscribers Previous rank = N/A Shawn Kelly has a huge following where he shares his survival-oriented outdoor skills. YouTube Channel Shawn loves the outdoors and it shows in his bushcraft-oriented channel when he gives great tutorials. Out of all of the channels on this list‚ I’m surprised that Corporals Corner is not higher up in the subscriber count given how long it’s been going. This channel deserves the love it’s earned and is one to check out if you appreciate survival skill demonstrations. 5. Survival Lilly Founded in 2011 1‚130‚000 subscribers Previous rank = 7 Survival Lilly is a self-taught survivalist with a huge following that relatively recently showed off her skills on season 15 of Naked and Afraid.

His YouTube channel features survival challenges all over the place‚ often featuring other well-known survivalists.

His love for the outdoors continues to draw fans from around the world. YouTube Channel Joe Robinet is NOT a survivalist but just likes getting into the woods for some bushcraft fun. His dog‚ Tripper (a Dutch Shepherd) may also be the star of his works and literally starred with him on another TV project‚ Man‚ Woman‚ Dog. When Tripper got sick and passed away from a bone disease at only three years old‚ it broke all of our hearts- but none more than Joe’s. Nevertheless‚ Joe persists and continues to make content on his channel sharing his enduring love for the outdoors. 2. My Self Reliance Founded in 2013 2‚170‚000 subscribers Previous rank = N/A Shawn James shares his journey of self-reliance‚ building his dream cabin in the Canadian wilderness. YouTube Channel Overlooked on previous lists‚ we waffled on whether to include Shawn’s channel in our off-grid/homestead list or wilderness survival. His channel is split between the two‚ but we think his wilderness survival skills and tutorials are worth highlighting here. Lately‚ he’s leaned less into outdoor survival tutorials but you can still find older gems on his channel. If he continues to focus heavier on homesteading‚ we’ll swap him over in the future but figured he deserved a callout this year for his great videos: 1. TA Outdoors Founded in 2014 2‚380‚000 subscribers Previous rank = 3 What originally started as fishing videos (TA Fishing)‚ this spinoff channel created by Mike Pullen has become a wilderness survival force. YouTube Channel Mike Pullen started TA Outdoors to build Viking houses and show off his DIY project with his dog Jaxx. Since then‚ the channel has grown into a wilderness survival powerhouse. Mike has an uncanny knack for building survival shelters‚ cabins‚ longhouses‚ etc. He enjoys it and it ends up being a blast to watch and makes his channel very informative.
