In this video we go back to the original formula - the one the fur trade ran on, the one that kept men alive where everything else failed - and we cover the mistake that almost nobody talks about, including most of the sources telling you they have this figured out. There's a reason this knowledge got quiet. It's not the reason you'd expect. What's the oldest piece of survival knowledge someone passed down to you? Tell us in the comments.
