Man, I've listened to hundreds of bushcraft videos, but yours was second to none. No hemming and hawing, no rambling, just hard-charging quality information. Good for you, my friend! I'm subbing.
Thank you! I’ll work hard to keep that sub!
Agree completely !!!!
Well done !!
Thank you Andrew.
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft yes very good Video even i understand 😅
Do you hunt with crossbow to?
I as well can always learn new things and reinforce good habits thank you for sharing
That's exactly why I gave this guy my sub. No BS. Just useful data hard and fast.
Dude you're the first survival guy on YT that I've seen actually hunt and cook his food. Outstanding
Thanks brother, that means a lot coming from you!
Loved the video. Quick, to the point, fast action. Just wondering about the wild life and what security system you do for approaching wolves, bears, mountain lion, etc (approaching enemies/threats).
hey hey, another person I am already subbed to talking to another CC I am subbed to :) I can drop a few more names later who hunt/kill/cook their own. Sadly, as I am sure you are aware, YT is making this whole idea go away on their platform. Too bad for them... they'll never learn :) and I'm fine with them not learning how to take care of themselves :)
He's cute too!
"Wooded beardsman" and "Zach fowler".
Both channels hunt, cook and eat everything they catch 👍
I like how you made your bed before you put The Front piece in place. I have seen so many people complete their shelter and then struggle to place the bedding materials in to it. Finally, someone did it right.
Not quite sure if you’ve mentioned it, but a quick tipp from what I learned in my personal military experience in cold weather environment: When the blood vessels on the surface of the body contract in the cold, the brain does not notice the decrease in the amount of fluid throughout the body as quickly and therefore does not trigger a feeling of thirst. You can easily dehydrate without noticing it. In my case, I haven’t been aware of that during a selection process in the Bundeswehr. It was already to late when I became thirsty and had put snow into my bottle, and tried melting it by carrying the bottle under my clothes. The time it took for the snow to melt (which always results in much less water than you would expect) was to long and I was took out of the selection process (luckily allowed to repeat it at another time).
Another tip for packing a good fat source with you is a light weight plastic container or doubled zip lock bag containing about a pound if Ghee butter. It is extremely shelf stable it lasts for months without refrigeration. It's also very good added to coffee for an extra longer term energy source.
I make ghee. If you put it in a quality sealing jar, it will actually last a couple of years at room temp depending on how often you open it and how dirty the surrounding air is. Refrigeration only adds a few months to those 2 years. A great thing about ghee is that even if it has went rancid or develops mold on it or whatever, it's still a useful fuel oil. This is a material that is easy to rotate your stock of once a year if keeping a small sealed container in a go bag.
Excellent suggestion!
This is a great channel, I love the pro tips.
I used too do cold weather training.
- stay hydrated
- go pee before you turn in for the evening
- I used too warm the water in my canteen and sleep with it.
Cheers stay safe.
Finally, someone that talks about the Great Plains! After all the Great Plains compose a huge amount of the North American terrain and many of us live in and hunt this area. The big trees are cottonwoods, they burn quickly. Many of the small trees are mesquites. They burn slowly and are good for night fires (and cooking-- the smoke is very favorable). Thanks.
Your a beast in the woods brother. Thank you for the canteen tip." A pro tip" for real.
Stay free man.
Nice to see a total badass like Andrew enjoying a cup of hot cocoa. I'm adding Swiss miss to my mess kit.
I was about to ask about not being able to survive on rabbits only. Then you mentioned "Rabbit starvation". I'd first heard of that from the Canadian Coast Guard. So thanks for that.
You are a natural instructor, years of military service will do that for you. I’m not surprised you have over 10,000 subs. I’m surprised you don’t have more. People are interested in good information which you provide. Who better to lead than a ranger? Rangers lead the way.
I’m convinced that his numbers will grow as the information gets out there.
His speech is clear and concise making his information easy to follow. Good information for beginners as well as those of use that may have forgotten a thing or two over the years.
73.2K subs as of July 22
@@mrwdpkr5851 I know. I think my comment made the difference.
Excellent video, there is a saying "If your the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room". I want to learn from someone who knows more. Thank you Sir.
Thank you!
Nice Mark Twain quote..
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft
To Me...it's a Survival situation...☹️
To You...it's a Camping trip.. 😁.. Lol
I will improve my skills.
I guess I am in the right "room"
@@davidwhittington7638 Thanks for pointing that out. This Twain guy really nails it with quotes.
First time I've ever seen someone show their plastic sheet with burn holes.
Here in interior AK too many long time hunters head into the field with very little in the way of survival gear. There have been a couple of lost ones requiring large scale searches near my area in the last two years.
Hardcore, well done ! A clothe/ bandana wrapped around your head at the eyes with a small slit left to see thru can prevent snow blindness. I read of mountain men using leather straps with slits to see thru. the inuit in old days would carve a piece of cupped wood with slits held over their eyes with leather straps. I believe Admiral Byrd used the same on his expiditions.Again , Well done you've earned your tab obviosly the hard way.
I used birch bark snow goggles easy to make around the fire at night as in any survival situation you always want to improve your situation and lesson injuries.
@@treerat6959 Paper birch is the stereotypical example used for this, possibly due to where it grows and how easy the bark is to collect and work with.
@@james0000 Well yeah I guess but you can make one out of wood even or leather was just sharing. I'm sure elm or maple bark would do in a pinch as well
@@treerat6959 Oh sure, out of most anything. I didn't mean to seem adversarial, if that's how I came across. I was backing up what you said, or trying.
@@james0000 oh no James I was just adding to it many ways or materials can be used or substituted for gear
More knowledge in survival than all other survival channels combined. Please keep making videos. I’ve learned so much from you!
Thank you!
Love the after night debriefing. Knowing what to expect is so very important for training.
Think about the people that lived and traveled through there in the 1800’s and the quality of clothes and gear they had back then. They were some tough individuals
I didn't know about the upside down canteen trick, thanks much!!!
Outstanding , good training . good tips bout the cold weather,like the canteen trick. thanks for sharing,stay frosty brother.
You definitely sold me on the merits of carrying a lightweight seasonally appropriate sleep system and a proper shelter.
Absolutely amazing information here, Andrew. Thanks for giving Mors the credit on the super shelter.
Finally somebody gets it! Everyone says build a shelter first. But I can tell you from many, many years of experience , if it’s cold, your number one priority is fire. If it hot, your number one priority it water. The only time I build a shelter first, is if it’s raining, and cold, and that’s just so I will have something to protect my fire while being built!
This kind of show will never go out of style mate. It is the best one we seen so far, it is precise & functional to the tee.! Spare clothing & socks is a neccessity especially in winter. Safety in any situation is always a priority. You've got it all matey. Cheers for the experise. Also maybe one day in the future you can do an overnight survival in heavy rain/storm. Greetings from Australia.
Nice work. A great video. FYI I carry similar vaseline cotton balls in my kit, however, when I make them, I dip them in melted paraffin, then let them cool. They harden but they can be torn open to expose the fibers. Also light-able with just a spark. Waterproof. Among other survival items, I keep a tea candle or two in all my packs.
An acronym I carry is O.P.S.
Oregano
Pepper
Salt
Salt has quite a few survival uses.
Excellent training video! Thank you for sharing your skills and adventures.
One thing I’d like to share that I just experienced last night and today. Like you, I’ve learned to look up for widowmakers.
We were expecting snow, but mostly got freezing rain. That converted healthy trees into potential widowmakers as the ice accumulated on the tree branches, weighing them down with ice. I wasn’t camping, but was outside working when I heard what sounded like a gunshot and a huge branch broke from the tree I was under and crashed into the ground a few feet from me. Morning revealed huge branches, some over a foot thick, had snapped from many of the trees. Wish I could share a picture.
Anyway, if snow camping and it turns to freezing rain, consider any tree a potential hazard to be under.
Back to you! Great instructor videos! Keep up the good work!
Captain we need to talk.
Some Boy Scout 101.
Five to six feet of clearing around the fire.
The fire very easy could of crept along the duff into ur hooch
The real pro tip with your canteen is to fill it with boiling water at night, curl up with that hot toasty thing all night, and have fully thawed water in the morning, and a lot of comfort during the night as well.
The beginning of the video when you say to leave a detailed map and instructions about what to do if you don't return on time is absolutely 100% correct and usually can mean the difference between not surviving and surviving.
It shouldn't be a surprise. Like Mike R said, you are a natural instructor, Capt. You have one of the most interesting channels on YT. Glad it was just the poly sheet that got hit by the embers and not any of the grass poking out from underneath. That would have ruined your night. The word is getting out. I see your channel growing even more and possibly even faster than it has the last 2 or 3 years. Bravo Zulu.
Tango Mike!
Keep going to 100k. Charlie Mike
Very impressive to solo overnight in winter without a sleeping bag. Shows high level training and discipline. Great vid.
Roughing it once in a while can be a lot of fun. Great video packed with a lot of info and tips. Great presentation.
Another extremely educational vid from you, Andrew. I think this might be the best so far.
Sure there're outdoorsy channels and "educational" ones too, but you do something, you explain why you're doing it, and you clearly demonstrate how to do it. A far cry from the "look how awesome I am" and the "I cooked some bacon" channels.
Thank you!
Corporals corner 👍
That was a great show and full of top tips. Thanks mate👍👍
Great video full of survival and bushcraft applications and tips. I like the way you edit brief video clips of what you are describing. That is really helpful. Thanks!
Very well done!! And just as was mentioned before, upside down canteen is very much an idea to post on the sticky note on the inside of the pack . Thanks again . Guy Speight
Awesome video Andrew. Great to see all the tips and tricks in actual field use and a realistic scenario. Big congratulations on now over 11.6K subs. You've earned them.
Nate
Really great stuff in this vid. Lots of useful pointers and tips. Excellent!!
Outstanding content! Great to hear and feel your passion for the great outdoors. Keep 'em coming!
Thnxs 4 sharing & keeping it real !!
Awesome training video brother! Love your shelter and good sense of humor too, looks like you're having fun with it just like we used to do in the Army. Sometimes laughter and good positive mindset is one of the best survival tools in the body. Bravo!
This is one of my favorite videos that you’ve done...
So full of important information-
I’ve shared it with several people...
Your voice and smile make your videos very alluring...
Thanks for these videos..
I always look forward to each and every video you share...
It was great seeing you do an overnight video! Would like to see more of them. Keep up the great work brother 👍
Good work Andrew. Thanks for sharing! Respect
The way you teach is the way. Excellent to see everything you do. Please continue to create In this way.
You do a great job! I really enjoy your videos. Thank You for sharing your knowledge, and thank you for your service.
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels! Thanks for the upload. Happy new years to you and yours
Great stuff. Thanks!
Great tips! Thank you Sir!
Thanks Dave!!
Well done! You walk the walk. This is real deal winter survival. Excellent video.
Had to watch it again. Outstanding!
Like always, good film again, I love the outdoors
Thank you for some original ideas, I'm always looking for that I've not thought of yet. And you gave me a couple. Many thanks indeed.
Hell of a great instructional video Ranger. Top notch! Thanks for the short sweet to the point instructions and making the video feel real versus a lot of hand waving and assumptions.
Solid video. Great content for the community. Excellent period of instruction
Cool video, thanks for having us along.
Definitely one of the better videos. Thanks for going through the entire process.
Hi Andrew, I’ve watched a few of your videos now and would just like to say that your skill as an instructor is spot on. Clear, concise and to the point, just as it should be. I subbed after the first one if I’m honest. Keep up the great content and getting the knowledge out there.
Good to see the ‘Hereford Hooligans’’ getting a mention at the beginning 🤣👍🏻. All the best mate from a UK vet 👍🏻
Well done, everything on point, all good information. Keep them coming!
Great straight forward info, thanks for your time
This was awesome, man. So many act & show but you DO IT! I've been pheasant hunting in Kansas and it can get really cold out there. Thanks for a superb, straightforward vid.
I really liked this one. your jacket really blended in with your surroundings. Oorah!!
Wow, you reply quick! Happy newyear
articulate, informed and profoundly clear. great illustrated technique, backed up always by examples. this could save lives and increase appreciation of simple materials that work.
Good video very informative. I stayed glued to it the whole time. Good job.
Mark
Your videos are so informative and well rounded. Keep them coming.
Awesome! Winter adds another dimension to survival in colder climates. Congrats on 11.5k subs, and here's to the next 11,000!👍🇺🇸
Wow. Truly an epic video. I'm going to view it again, this time with pen and paper to make notes. This is why I subscribed to your channel.
Thank you!
Very enjoyable, lots of helpful info presented very concisely. Excellent lighting & camera work.
Thank you for your information, I live ND . Great video like always
Thank you
Outstanding content and delivery. Keep it up!
You are right. These are awesome videos.
This is a GREAT video, Lots of very useful tips that I will be putting to use in the near future.
Thank you for your straight forward and honest approach to survival techniques without a lot of fluff and unneeded sugar coating. I believe this is the best channel to truly learn techniques to keep yourself alive in dire situations.
Excellent video, i am very appreciated thet you are sharing your experience with us
Great video for winter survival and some really good tips. Thanks 🇺🇸
Ty for your service ❤🤍💙
Outstanding video !!!!
Thanks, great video
Outstanding video, well delivered
Man I have been watching your videos for a couple of years I enjoy them learning new stuff from each one thank you
Andrew, the knowledge that you share comes in useful in my day to day non-military life. I take up as much as I can to go through my life prepared, for anything. Because that's what I expect.
Great video..thanks
Been watching people in your experience zone and you sir are the absolute best and at the top in my opinion. 👍
Reminds me of my CW field training when I was assigned to 10th Mtn Div. at Ft. Drum. Good refresher. Cheers.
Always learning from you Andrew great demonstration !!! Keep the vedeos coming !!!
Please, keep doing more videos like this one and don't decrease the quality of your contents, they are awesome. Cheers from Quebec Canada
Great video! Thanks!
Watched this video about 8 times never gets boring, one of my top 5 vids no joke. Hoping you’ll do more cold weather videos like this in the upcoming winter season. Living in Yellowknife NT. Canada I can relate to these thanks Andrew
Still watching and still one of my top 5 videos of all time! Thanks Andrew your videos got me through some real tough times since December,
We learned nothing about surviving in the bush in the Air Force, just Desert survival. Your videos are so informative and useful. Keep up the great work!
Love it. Got some good tips from it as I live in a cold climate. Keep it coming
Great content. Thank you.
Outstanding informative video. Not that easy winter camping...thanks for sharing your experience... Feliz Año 2021🙏🏻
I know it’s probably a simple concept but could you go over caching supplies? It would be interesting to know the strategy of where to put one, when they’re practical and the method in general!
Another informative and entertaining video. Thanks Andrew!
Amazing amount of information &,,,, to actually do it and not just talk about it, brilliant, thank you
Great video. I love going out with minimal kit and making due with what I have and whatever I can find. I have used the shelter that you show but I tape one of those paper thin mylar blankets against where your Xs are. It reflects at least twice as much heat. Doesn't add much to your pack weight.
Your vids are awesome! The super shelter is such a simple concept, yet so effective! Mors achieved it with what he called the 'modern miracles of mylar and polyethylene'. I wonder what the next breakthrough in material science will bring us? Dyneema, or cuben fiber, is an incredible fabric, but does nothing for warmth. I wonder if anyone has tried to bond dyneema to mylar to create the next generation of survival tarp? I also wonder why no one has manufactured a complete super shelter package...Keep up the great work, sir!
I have to say this is another outstanding video, chock full of extremely valuable instruction, while being very entertaining. Survival training back in the eighties didn’t cover the Super Shelter. Best wishes for prosperous New Year.
