How To Catch And Kill A Wild Boar | Dual Survival

Stranded in the remote Hawaiian rainforest, Joe's decision to hunt an aggressive wild boar. I want to eat some meat. I need some protein. Is not a tactic that Cody approves of. The survival situation is learning to separate the needs from the wants. If you get hurt, I get hurt. It's over. It's done. I'm doing it. Armed only with a local boar hunting spear, Joe heads off in pursuit of his and Cody's next meal. Here, look at this. Check this out. From here to here, this is a rubbing of a boar trying to rub parasites off its skin. And if you look right here, you'll see two indentations. This is a male boar trying to sharpen up its tusks. And that is a very, very good sign that there is a big boar in this area. So right now, I know I'm on the right trail. Joe has extensive training in the art of tactical trekking operations and has put those skills to good use in pursuit of America's enemies in both Iraq and Afghanistan. As I'm moving through this jungle, I'm doing an area assessment. I'm trying to find a spot that will be suitable for me to set up an ambush. This is some fresh scat right here. The sun is hitting it, and it's not dry yet. There's another pile right there. As a matter of fact, here's some signs right here on the side of this tree of tusks. This boar has been here within hours. I'm gonna recon this area, see if I can find a good choke point for this thing and find a good killing ground, and it's gonna be on if one comes by. I'm a one-man band. I don't have dogs. I don't have a gun. I can't do a standoff shot. The terrain is gonna dictate how I'm gonna do this. Another trail that is so prevalent along this cliff. I mean, take a look at this. That is a very prevalent trail. So actually, there's not one trail here. There's three. This one, the one I was just on, and there's another one about 10 meters away from there. So I've got three avenues of approach to this animal. What I've got to do is funnel it into one area so I can get to it. I've got a cliff on my right. I've got trails to my front. I've got rubs, and I've got crap. I'm in the right spot. It's just too big. I've got to funnel these animals into a smaller area. Using the chicken wire he found at the stream, Joe makes a snare. Tie that to the tree. The animal steps in the snare. It'll wrap around its leg. Then sets up a linear ambush, a technique commonly utilized in unconventional warfare to funnel enemy combatants into a kill zone. Hopefully the pig's gonna come along here. Hit it. Funnel it right in. Joe's away doing his thing, and I have water disinfectant over the fire, and this is what you do at base camp. This bamboo fire saw, it's problematic, but I have an idea for something a little bit more expedient. That bamboo fire saw takes a lot of effort and energy and calories and sweat equity to make fire, so I want to do something else. In a survival scenario, preparing a method to light your next fire can mean the difference between getting out alive or not. I want to take this bandana, and I want to take this metal candle holder. So we'll light it on fire and dry it out. I want to make something called char cloth. The char cloth, it's gonna look like black cloth. It's gonna be from red to jet black, and it'll be very volatile. When cotton fabric is carbonized, it converts into a fuel source of low ignition temperatures that easily ignites, similar to charcoal. A little depression there. That's what I want. So here's my future char cloth. I'm gonna put the lid on to where that hole is showing. What we're essentially doing in this can is we're taking a piece of this red bandana and we're carbonizing it. We're heating it up with minimal oxygen. Here it is spitting out. I can smell the burning bandana, and when that stops smoking, then I'll take it off the fire. When it starts to smoke out the hole, you know the cookies are cooking. When it stops smoking, you don't want to overcook the cookies, so you stop the oxygen. I'm not really getting any more smoke out of that hole per se, so I'm gonna cap it. I'm just gonna tap it down, cut off the O2 completely. We're literally stopping the combustion process to then use that carbonized material, which can light with a fraction of heat, namely those sparks from that lighter. That's one strike with the lighter, and it should go, and it should go, and it should go. It allows us to take the lighter, and in one gross motor movement, I can get heat within this char cloth to put into a tinder bundle and blow into flame. That's char cloth. I'm just gonna camo myself up a little bit. I've never hunted boar in my life. I have friends that do, and I've been told by them that they've shot them five or six times with a rifle, and they just keep on coming. And this is also gonna help me disguise my scent, because these animals have very, very good sense of smell, more so than a deer. This boar crap combined with me rubbing down at dirt and being downwind, hidden a little bit, that's the advantage I'm looking for right now. I need every edge I can get to get one of these animals. I'm gonna throw every trick in the book I have at this thing. I know these creatures start moving about this time of the day, so I need to get down to these rocks and start waiting and seeing what happens. This is where you've got to have your head together. The psychological aspect of doing something like this is huge. This isn't like shooting an animal 200 yards away with a deer rifle. This thing is gonna be up close and personal and very ugly. I see him, I see him. As I'm laying here, I see this boar coming straight down the side of this cliff, heading directly towards my snare. If this boar steps in that snare, it's game time. We need food, so the necessity to kill comes down to food for us and for us to get out of here. You know, there's nothing enjoyable about taking life, but in survival, it may be the difference between you living and dying. Give me your hand. Holy. Here, grab this. I don't know what to say. I hope Cody's happy. We've got food now, a lot of food, and we're gonna get cooking this boar and have a nice feast. You're the man of honor. Bro, that's what I'm talking about right there. What do you think? That's really some of the best pork I've ever had. Yeah, man. You know, Cody, hopefully this has established some kind of trust and confidence in each other. I don't wanna get hurt, man. I mean, come on. After all the ---- I've been through, do you think I wanna go get gored by a boar? No. If I wasn't comfortable doing this, I wouldn't have done it. I hear what you're saying. You know, I get it. Yeah, if you don't compromise and cooperate, both parties are dead. There you go, man. Here's to your pick. Thanks, brother.
