I second that comment made by gatocles99 about clearing the ground to prevent forest fires. Even if it looks like someone did that, if they don't call attention to that detail, most people wouldn't think about a fire starting and spreading when no one is around. I actually had a "casualty blanket" that was called a space blanket. Unfortunately, it disappeared during one of our many moves (military family). My grandfather was in the Cavalry at Fort Riley, KS teaching recruits (mules and horses). He often said, "Close enough for government work". Thanks for reminding me of that phrase. I've had concussions so my memory's not as good as it used to be. I'm taking notes, so hopefully I'll remember this when I need it. Thanks for the video!
You are the first and only survival instructor I have seen that actually cleared the ground under and around the fire area to prevent forest fires.
All the frauds just build a fire directly on dry leaf litter and then told me that they were "experts", so it was OK for them to do that, when I pointed out their glaring lack of basic woodcraft knowledge.
So, kudos to you.
If you are truly in a survival situation wouldnt setting the woods on fire increase your chances for being found?

Steel Water Canteen, a snack, Clothes and a Poncho with it's liner, a lighter and a multitool. Those are my must haves, whenever I live home, for more than
Key skills for all survivalists. I have regular intel up on YT. Keep prepping guys 👍 🙏 ✝️
Your videos are my most respected source of outdoor skills. Thank you.
50 years ago in the Boy Scouts, we would take a box of matches, wrap it with a ton of tinfoil, then wrap it with a ton of string, and then dip it in wax.
1) dry matches
2) tin foil, you could string up strips of it near a fire at night or breeze during the day to signal for help.👍
Or, if your foil was big enough, you could bake a fish in the coals of your fire. String always comes in handy for everything.
This is what I told my brother when sharing this link:
"Hey bro, check out his DIY iodine disinfectant from black walnut husks. I knew from Arthur Haines that the bark of sumac was an option, but iodine is my number one go to for all cuts/scrapes (just used some today). This guy's videos are legit."
Looks like the basic 5 C's to me. =) 👍 Cutting, Cordage, Combustion, Container & Coverage.
You got that right. Nothing new here, except the walnuts.
I like your channel. Very informative. Thank you for your service! Never forgotten!
Now this is my kind of vid. Minimalist, Ooorah! Can't top the best Major. Thanks BRAVO ZULU
The black walnut iodide is very nice to know, thank you very much! Very close to one of the best tips I've ever seen.
Thank you for this video. I always think of getting stranded as I’m a long distance truck driver. When the weather thinks about getting ugly I prepared for the worst Cary food extra clothes and blankets.
Congratulations for the 100k subscribers, you definitely deserve them, keep going
Wow I've been here since about 200. Incredible
@@docdoc4129 I'm only here from about 64k, you surely know more about this channel history
@@fabiobaso I wasn't paying attention to the growth is all. I'm no badge displayed any longer. Lol. Welcome aboard bud. I was stationed at Ft Benning, where RTB is so the advanced training he has is invaluable.
I liked this video, and "Down and dirty" is fitting considering the topic and situation it covers.
I like the minimal gear videos . It's impressive how useful that tiny half moon pouch from your previous video can be . Keep'em coming , Major .
Toss the Mora and get a more substantial knife like a Boker or Gerber LMF or Prodigy.
@@nelsonward7981 Boker uses 440 steel which is brittle and hard to sharpen and gerber uses 420HC which is a really shitty steel that mora is better than most of the knifes of both brands
@@nelsonward7981 Some of my Mora's are 55 years old and you can shave with them.
Try batoning wood with a Mora... You basically have a kitchen paring knife, sharp yes, but much too small to do anything a folder won't do.
The large Gerber or Bokker will sharpen just fine if you know how to actually sharpen a knife. Most anything a Mora will do, my CRKT folder will do, hell, the knives from my Leatherman Charge will do and you should be carrying BOTH everywhere you go.
Sorry guys, Moras are grossly overrated.
Good video but you should be carrying much more EDC every day anyway. Y'all act like you don't have pockets and I'm sure you carry much more in them.
@@nelsonward7981 i have a mora and it holds up just fine batoning wood which i have broken folders with also the edge holds up better than a 440 or a 420hc
edit: i forgot to add that knife sharpenability doesnt depend on skill it depends on steel quality and hardness so what you are saying makes no sense
Time for our friendly neighborhood ranger.
It's things like this that always amuse me.
Whenever I went to an Army school, there was always ONE guy who would say, "Well everyone's primary MOS is Infantry..."
A day or so later the Pac Puke would find out that they were sorely unskilled in their "primary MOS"...
I participated in "Team Spirit" in 1988 with some guys from the 2/75th out of Lewis
I served along side of the 1/75th in Salerno back in 2006.
I always learned something new. You folks don't mess around!
Rangers lead the way!
Honestly when before you did the floating needle, I though you were just going to do the "watch" method... Maybe another video?
Great video BTW.
Hi Andrew, greeting from Australia, thankyou for your time to make these videos.
My wife and I just talked about how much we enjoy your videos. You always cover a lot of information and do a very good job explaining it! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next one!
This was a good video, however your "Five Piece" kit had a lot of additional items. The Shemagh, SS Canteen Cup, cork (like who carries cork), needle, rubber bands, Ranger bands,
Candle, char cloth, and duck tape. If you are going to carry cork, a needle and rubber bands, why not just carry a compass. This was a great kit for traveling a field, just not 5pc. Love the XXX on the blanket, and the crossed sticks for the canteen cup. Good job.
It's all to demonstrate the skills and possibilities with a minimum kit. Of course, we could improvise with other materials we find in the field, because trash is everywhere. That was my focus with the video: outside the box thinking and not doing just plain old stuff with a simple kit like other people.
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft Nuf said, I knew that, great job.
I noticed all of that, too.
Of course, you can find trash, but it's a matter of luck to find exactly what you need. A needle? Good luck with that. And wherever did he "find" a diamond plate to sharpen that knife? No one, not even a hiker, carries that. It was not a 5-piece kit. Not by a long shot.
Great suggestions. Every day I learn a little for my trips to nature...
Once again you have shown us how to take what we have in our kits and think outside the box to improvise field expedient survival solutions.OUTSTANDING.
Two things I would add , one is a relatively new item , the other is if your going to out there awhile .
1. The Army 5qt collapsable bladder canteen , folds up into nothing . I think they are also called " The Vietnam jungle " canteen . They have a nice pouch/case , were issued in Vietnam , and I believe , last issued in the 1990's sometime , before camelbacks came out . So there are still several out there new , but are drying up . 1 qt is not enough .
2. Octagonal ferro rod . no smaller than 1/2 x 6 inch . This is a fairly new item to hit the market . You wouldnt think that octagon would make any difference , but it sure does ! Once you use one , you wont go back to the round again .
By the way , if anybody out these gets one of the canteens used , and the cap leaks , no worries ! Just go pick up a garden hose repair gasket , fits perfectly , problem solved , and dirt cheap .
The last 2 of those canteens I
had were just old, and crumbled
into pieces the last time I tried
to use them. I sure did like them
though
Scrape your round ferro rod on one side long enough and you have a flat side. Do this 8 times (when you do need to light a fire) and you'll have an octagonal rod. 🙂👍Everything gets better with practice. BTW, if you scrape all your corners, you're going to have a round rod.
@@lukasmakarios4998 Do this eight times with an octagonal rod , then you have a round one ..............then you give it away to sombody starting out . Waste not , want not . Personally , I use a cigarette lighter , faster , easier , etc. Not that I dont know how to use a ferro rod , always have it as a back up ....that , and a mag bar.........work smarter , not harder . Same is true in the bush , as in the work place . Why cut down a bunch of logs to roll a heavy load , when you have a fork lift sitting near by ? But you and I both know people , who will cut down logs anyway . Thats on them , not us . By the time THEY finish fussing around with all their bullshit . We are done , and have been already relaxing ......probably for a long time before they do . 😁
@@maxpinson5002 I hear ya man . I had one of those crack from long term storage , after I got it . A coworker suggested I get silicon oil , and rub it all over the bladder . I tried that with other ones , and it seems to work . It sort of " rehydrates " the plastic .
Great video, this old dog learned a few new tricks!
Awesome as always Andrew congrats on 100000 subs
Hi Andrew. Thank you once again for spot on information. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Interesting video Andy, thank you for taking the time to show us.
Smokeless method with the casualty blanket is the Hot Rock Ring. To maximize warmth with minimal available fuel, build a fire ring, once piping hot scatter the coals about, flip a flat stone into the center to sit on and spread the blanket around, OR move the hot rocks to the area you're going to hunker down on. Works nicely in these Canadian winters. No need to tuck them into clothing, the ambient temps reflect off the casualty blanket well. Similar to a 17th century bed warmer ^_^
I've used this method since I was a teen. There are plenty of mistakes you can make, like getting the stones too hot and placing them directly on the ground but once you learn the best ways of using hot stones, being cold is a choice.
@@MikeMitchellishere yeah there's definitely a learning curve to it!
@MikeMitchellishere
How does this vid only have 13 likes???? Cmon guys give this man a thumbs up...every single video you learn something new.
03:57 glad Batman is cross training in the wilderness. Great video.
Great info thanks for sharing.
Down and dirty! Just the way I like em! All the info while I'm on my break. Keep em coming!
Great video! I have never heard of the walnut husk as a medical treatment. Thanks for the info.
Most professional survival videos on YT. Congrats on 100K silver award.
Great video Andrew keep'em coming bud. Stay safe and be well brother. 👊😎🤙🍻🇺🇸
Love the iodine tip. That was gold.
Congratulations on 100k subs all your content is great 👍🇬🇧
Poncho and a can of sterno got me through many a FTX during winters in Europe.
Great video! Didn't know that about black walnut husks being iodine rich...another point would be that squirrels love those trees so it would be a viable hunting spot to stake out in a survival situation. Thanks again!
It's awesome to see primitive basic survival skills this should be mandatory for young boys and men in school
I grew up with Black walnut trees, I even picked up walnuts at the ranch my Grandpa worked at too sell for Christmas money, and never knew that nasty, hand staining hulls was good for anything. 👍
this is the first time im seeing this dude, ive been watching the video for 5 seconds and im already invested, the voice alone makes me proud to go into battle with him
You can use Black Walnut as an improvised camouflage paint too, so long as you don't mind it taking a week or more to go away. It works like henna and dyes the skin deeply. A big advantage is that it dyes skin rather than covering it so it doesn't block pores and melt off your skin.
Can you tattoo with it if you want something more permanent?
@@Ensensu2 It works like Henna. I don't know if you could use it like an injectable ink.
@@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869zh
Indeed. The Rhodesians used it during the war to infiltrate enemy camps......
@@LynnJynh9315 That I never heard of and I'd have to look.
Thank you for another Great Video on mini gear. Very cool with the black walnut learned something new with that. So thank you!!!
OUTSTANDING VIDEO ANDREW!!! 👍👍👍
Well Done Soldier..watching... U.S.N.Retired
The black walnut iodine wash was something I did not know . Thanks for sharing.
Just the elementals things, Great Video!! 👍🤘
Love your presentation of the 5c's
Quick tip.
If you carry a pair of baby sox in there, it will make a nice filter when you put it over the opening of the canteen when gathering water.
Less contaminants when boiling it and you don't have to worry about particles.
That boiled black walnut is super useful info.
I learned a lot. The shemah is a 6th item great to have for carrying the items. Thank you for the video.
Excellent as ever, good knowledge to be getting out while the weather is grim.
My favorite moment was creating a 3D image out of a 2D surface. The drone footage really captured how effective this can be.
Nicely done!
I really like these minimal gear vids n you seem to have a kickass survival attitude n energy, HUAH!
I’m ex British Army infantry and often ask myself about scaling down to basics. People ask me why I ‘tab’ (= ruck in US I think) with so much kit. I just do. I like useful weight in my bergen (= backpack). But I scale down when mountain biking. Even then the Camelbak gets heavy with tools. One thing about the US canteen (water bottle & L1A1 mug!) is it’s metal. Brilliant. The British Army issue is a plastic combo. Bloody useless. Great pod.
Very much appreciate how you include everything from basic to advanced survival techniques. As well as the way you present them in a clear understandable way.
Great job about the improvised compass, also explanation for building up electrons at the tip of the knife after sharpening! Chaining every action you do in a survival scenario, impressive!
Thank you, your sharing will save lives in the future.
The main thing, when warming up with a fat wood under a space tent, is not to fart, so as not to fire damage all this beauty😁👍🏻🤣
Thank you, Andrew.
A nother great Sunday, with the ranger 👌great video 👍
Excellent demonstration. I learned some new skills.
EXCELLENT DEMONSTRATION LS !
Thanks.
Terrific video!
Thanks for sharing! 👍✌️🇬🇧
Checking your channel out, Your channel was mentioned and recommended by Corporal's Corner.
Talk about stretching as much as you can with the 5 c’s. So much good, info. Thanks bro!
The minimalist videos are awesome to watch. It's just astounding what one can do with the very bare minimum, and with knowledge and training of course. Great content Andrew!!!
Those are some high speed glasses.
That magnetized knife tip is something I did not know! Excellent video! I learned something new! Thank you!
Learned something new today...again! Did not know that about Black Walnuts!
Thanks for the info👍🏻👍🏻
Another great revision for us. Thank you Major for sharing your knowledge. Cowabunga.!
The needle compass method is outstanding info. Nice video
Best of the best. Awesome Andrew 👌
I'm thinking a small Dakota firehole instead of a makeshift candle.
You have a gift, you're a teacher natural born, as we say in iowa. Wonderful content presented succinctly and with confidence. Thankyou.
THANK YOU the black walnut demo was fantastic. Hygiene is not talked about much in other channels, i like your no-nonsense approach
Always a good time
Another great video. When it warms up I'll be doing a self skills test using a go bag for a night. Thanks again. ✌️
You just proved that the most important thing you can take out in any situation is knowledge
Congratulations on having 100K Subscribers on your channel. My respects to you. Thank you very much for this outstanding video that enabled everyone to learn survival skills that they can use.
Perfect! Thank you so much!
Andrew, you did it again, man. You have taught this old geezer new tricks. Excellente video.
Drew, you are the OG of Bushcraft survival!
Major Andrew another interesting concept of the 5 items of survival or the 5 c’s great ideas sir 👍🇺🇸🤙

Your the real deal. Great advice. Thanks.
EXCELLENT VIDEO BROTHER! HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE IODINE IN THE HUSKS! VERY USEFUL INFORMATION! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING! MUCH RESPECT FROM INDIANA! THANKS!
No non sense video, I love your content! Keep it up!
The black walnut trick is useful knowledge that i did not know.
By far the best survival channel on TH-cam
It's real good and you can use a lot of that stuff keep it up
OMG!! The improv compass was just brilliant. Thankyou
I never fail to learn something from your videos. Thank you for bringing this to us! 😊
For America little smoking little Drinking yeahh...
I love how you can take familiar concepts and put a new spin on them.
The most functional, realistic and incredibly sensible video about surviving with minimal equipment... The compass is genius! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it definitely saves lives.
Next project: Reinforce the grommet holes and tape down the three X's on my casualty blanket. Thanks for the tip and congrats on 100k.
Great video on basic kit!!! Items easily tossed in a day pack or stored in the trunk of vehicle. Great lesson on the emergency shelter and heat source, not often covered by many nowadays.
Congratulations on the sub milestone, well earned Ranger!
Keep up the Fire!!!
well done. Key items to have, shelter, fire, water procurement, improvised natural medicine. Nice.
