After ten years in the High Arctic, not to mention growing up in Winnipeg, I'll add this: you MUST always be aware of the state of your fingers & toes and NEVER allow them to freeze. How to maintain your finger temp is easy: 1) ball your finger in a fist within the glove 2) put the glove(s) inside your jacket and warm fingers under your arms or in groin. Maintaining toe temperature is tougher. Make sure your gloves & boot are NOT tight.. that cuts circulation. If your toes start to freeze, get blood flowing in your legs. I saw the Inuit stamping their feet but that didn't help me too much. I actually warmed my boots inside my parka! (Snow is clean.) There's an entire treatise that could be written on various ways of using plastic bags in your boots to keep your socks dry. Key concept from physics: the latent heat of evaporation of sweat (water). Avoid it.
Five minutes of reading your comment. I gathered collect firewood and do major chores in your underwear and use Rain boots with nice pair of socks also add nitrite thick medical gloves and you will be in so much more comfort and safety.
Once the core feels colder, your body removes heat from the extremities. Fingers toes ears etc. Best way ive found of keeping my feet warm is to have dry socks always, and keep my core warm. If they get wet, theyre drying at earliest opportunity to swap out from the next wet socks you get. Burpees, star jumps, short bursts of energy and allow the body to do the rest.
Heating wool socks near the fire and then put them back on, works like a charm. Long story short, once i feel the sense in my toes, they need external heat source or heavy physical exercise to become live again.
I have been camping and hunting in winter for over 60 years and you are the first presenter of survival skills that taught me something new. I will watch more of your videos. Thank you.
I’ve been adventuring in the winter wilderness all my life. I thought there wasn’t much left to learn. You have proven me wrong. Thank you for a valuable education experience. Great video (as always)!
The Arctic necklace you made is basically the same thing I made for my son so he wouldn't lose his stuff when we went camping!!!! That's so awesome it had a little pocket knife a flashlight a Ferro rod that he loved I had no idea it was a thing! There was a whistle kind of her this reflective trinket that he loved he can't remember everything but a lot of cool little stuff that was lightweight that he could carry with him camping!
@@BUZZKILLJRJR This tool around neck would drive me nuts after about an hr moving about. So many of these video's I just shake my head in disbelief. Look at the gear and clothing in video's produced for survival and bushcraft education, if they are new and clean especially boots these guys are not experienced. Tools are all shiny and new ferris rods never marked up pots and pans just bought from walmart. Old elders spoke from wisdom when they said choose the woman with the blackened pots she will feed you the best.
@little standing owl. It’s called for demonstration purposes 😂. He obviously just grabbed it from the bits drawer which we do. Most Bushcraft ppl and ex service got kit and more kit and more kit. It did it for the video ya know? Thing is it’s so you know. Now ya know you go out if you choose to build one tailored to you. So micro flat whistle possibly, a night Chem stick for a fishing float which is 25mm long, the mirror looks really compact tbh. You’ll want that over a layer at least tho. But I was thinking a fresnel lens also hole punched corner sitting behind it. You gotta use it in a manner that applies to you if you choose to employ it. Shaking your head at it means you didn’t hear the need is to keep it warm to function. For example I might put my zippo pouch in a warm pocket don’t you? Cos if it’s cold lighter fuel isn’t as good as warm room temp etc. this is not hateful minded buddy the idea is it’s not all gonna work or you even want it. But it’s what you do with what you got the key thing. Have a good one. Celer et Audax.
@@littlestandingowl8097 I was taught from a small boy to keep my kit, gear and clothing as clean as possible,same as my books, and notes at school, college and after. Later that meant tools etc. That is why the military ensure soldiers etc look after theirs daily, it can be a life saver. It is also why the USA uses "dummy cord" to keep kit safe and available for immediate use, a dirty pocket knife that gets stuck together is no good when you need it, a filthy fixed blade the same, dirty clothing reduces its protective qualities, a Leatherman is a liability if filthy, etc I am sure your ancestors (if native american first nations) looked after their knives, axes, tools, arrowheads etc and their pots and bowls, bags, moccassins, cleaned and groomed their horses, checked their feet, and kept them as best they could because they were hard to replace. My folks in UK were farmers and woodsmen, hunters, woodworkers, leatherworkers, engineers, carpenters, well diggers, all rolled into one out of necessity, jacks of all trades, and they kept their kit clean, sharp, useable. Not rich just ordinary farm folks. I have a knife from c 1750 passed on through the family, used on a regular basis all those years, blade worn a little, handle replaced, but cleaned, service and oiled regularly, going strong and clean enough to use to cut my food. I take your point, but experience does not mean you have to look scruffy, it means you know the value of cleanliness and serviceability. Plus they are making videos for our consumption, and people are put off by dirty, scruffy, untidy, and you have to admit even Andrew is not always immaculate, lol. Are you boss? ;-)) Stay safe, healthy, lucky and wise.
I understand you are making a very valid point about inverting a container to prevent freezing from fouling the container opening. The new NSN’d “Arctic Canteen” is no longer a vacuum flask design but is instead a wide mouthed single wall stainless steel (in part) design because of the acknowledgment that in extreme cold… Your water is going to freeze. No matter what. That being said if you want your water to remain liquid. Just something to consider. All around you is one of the most marvelous insulators known to man… snow. If instead of inverting the canteen… you had marked the location (say with a snowshoe) and buried the canteen. If it was above freezing when you buried it. It will still be liquid when you unbury it… even is the most God awful freezing temps and winds. It doesn’t matter if it’s inverted or not. This applies to insulating human beings equally well… as the Inuit can attest. Great video.
Jastrapper 190, something I have found in the Yukon Klondike country left over from back in the day is a number of durable, very long metal cans about 3 1/2 inches wide with a wire bail at the open top. Very useful for melting a lot of snow over a fire while allowing drinking from the can during the thawing process without burning your mouth. Beware of getting spruce sap in the can from above from a hanger stick.
Being able to make a fire in any weather conditions isn't a 'skill' it's a must have when spending time in the outdoors!! Safed my life more than once... Best greetings from British Columbia 🙂and stay safe
I taught wilderness and Winter survival to my SWAT teams and other rescue personnel. I give full kudos to Ranger Survival and Field Craft for his straightforward approach and techniques. He says it best at the end; go practice what he teaches so it is not just knowledge, it is applied science.
My grandfather said they you brought back a lot of old memories. Artic training in the 82nd Airborne. Lol he went to Vietnam. Surprise, in 1968 at Hue (pronounced way) it snowed about 8 inches deep. Many troops were not prepared. By one o'clock in the afternoon it was all gone.
I’m glad you gave hydration so much focus. I particularly love the mosquito net trick! I understand that hypothermia is often preceded by dehydration because it slows and thickens circulation. In cold temps I always repeat 'Water in me is good, Water on me is bad'.
18:50 We can use the opposite to gain body temp. I used a similar bag and filled it with some warm water(not hot!) and put it inside my clothing before sleeping. Helped me to stay a little more warm at night.
How much of your day is spent creating potable water ? I would think if you're going to remain somewhat stationary a "bag" of some type to store water would be ideal.
Happy new year, Andrew and fellow viewers!!! Excellent video. So much new info, Thank you so much for your continued posting of survival videos every Sunday… You are part of my Sunday routine !!! God bless you, real good 😊🙏🏻
Loved the mosquito net trick- I live in Maine, so that is definitely in all my kits, but I also have dogs . This is a great way to melt water for them too!!!
Just subscribed to your videos. Love your lessons in survival. Keep these coming. I'm 66 years old and still prepare for tomorrow. Look forward to more videos and lessons. Thanks!
About the only thing missing is 100% pure white zinc ointment. It works wonders if having to travel over snow in sunny conditions. Applied to any sensitive areas of the face, lips, and the nose, even the ears. Exposure from the sun reflecting back up off the snow can cause severe burns, and even sunburn the inside of one's nose, making breathing painful. Zinc oxide in a tin is always part of my kit especially in winter.
This is going to sound cissy, but carry some sort of waterproof mascara pencil or similar too, so that you can darken the areas on the upper cheek bones which is where much of the light is reflected into the eyes. Obviously the military had black cam cream. One of my colleagues is a mountain rescue guy, ski and mountaineering instructor, arctic trained , and he lost his ski goggles and a Norwegian showed him how to make snow slit eye shields etc and darkened under the eyes to cut the reflected light. You are correct about snow and burns..
I love the improvised sling shot. I gave up using a sling shot years ago because they are made so poorly. The bands onstantly break, expensive and hard to find. I never thought of using a bungee cord! I'm going to make my own and get back at it. Thank you so much!😍😁
I liked the vid, but after spending the last 45 + yrs in the military an construction, I hope an pray I've seen the last of the snow an ice I'll ever see. But will chalk this vid up for future knowledge, JIC. Thx for the vid Andy
Great tutorial and great way to start the year. Reminds me of the Quinzhees we used to build in the woods when I was a kid, snug and warm in the coldest nights. Thanks for sharing
I'm quite certain I have seen all your videos from the very first one you made, and I am equally certain that I have always learned something new from every one. I really admire your teaching style and the fact that everything revolves around basic kit and practical knowledge, not the expensive fancy gear that some..experts..seem to consider essential. 👍
Hi Andrew! Thanks for another great video mate, and happy new year to you and your's, stay safe major, and I look forward to the next video, Stuart UK.
Wow! Andrew, you have definitely taken 'winter survival' to another level. I have watched many channels on this topic, but you presented the meat of the application of making fire, extracting water from snow, the proper way of storing water overnight, etc. I did not know 3/4 of the approaches you instructed and I understand practice, practice, practice. Keep up the great work.
I'm having flashbacks to Pickle Meadows aka the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center tucked way up in the mountains above Bridgeport, CA. My Dad was the C.O. there and I got to go through some of their training. Oohrah.
Tip when you build/digg your snow shelter, make a ditch so the coldest air that is hevier goes in the ditch. Also you might want to insulate under your sleeping mat as the cold from the ground will freeze you more than the air in the shelter.
That lower area is called a "cold sink" and we were taught that when making Igloos, Quinzees, Snow graves, simper shelters, it also applies to bivouac shelters,
We built those snow caves in Boy Scouts on trips to CO. We cooked on Dakota fire holes that were dug into the opposite side of the entrance trench and dug chimney holes to prevent collapse from melting. They are fun!
This was another outstanding video Major. You and Cpl. Kelly have some of the most valuable information for survival in the wilderness I have seen on YT. Thank you!
When using an ax to break ice on a pond or lake , it's good to have a hole through the bottom of the ax handle to tie a lanyard around your wrist in order to prevent accidentally losing your precious tool in the cold drink ; if your ax handle doesn't have such a hole I would suggest drilling one . Excellent content on Winter survival Major ! ! !
Found you last night Andrew, thanks to Kelly, it's good to see your videos and learn, I hope you do well on TH-cam, I have been enjoying Corporals Corner with Marine Kelly for the last four years. Good luck.
Also seeing those sbow shoes made me lol. We are getting rid of those. And going to a beaver tail type. I have two pairs if the old ones. Two thumbs up
Snow cave is great for survival, you will be able to survive, you will not be comfortable, We had to do this when I was in the USMC at the mountain warfare training center, it sucked sleeping in a snow cave.
Shalom Aleichem. That mosquito net trick is really a cool idea. I guess it also helps filter out any junk that might be in the snow? Just stay away from the yellow snow, LOL. Also those surplus snow shoes being magnesium is a great idea for fire starting. As a retired mechanic (on disability) I have a couple of bad old VW cases and they're magnesium. It'd be worth carrying a small plastic container fill with magnesium flakes! I'm learning a lot an I'm 68½ years old and not that'll I be hiking in the back country any time in the future, these skill would come in handy if I break down somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I always carry at least 7 days worth of food, water, plus ammo an a med kit and blankets plus fire starting device's. One never knows. Ratson haba b'shem YaHuah
"Straight thuggin, no huggin" caught me off guard. Love this channel.

7:59 ...I prefer your ADMIN LINE / Survival item cord...that goes in the pocket.
Having all the Gear around the neck can cause probs later on.
If it wasn't for people like you, I would be literally dead. Thank you.
First time viewer, I'm pretty elderly. But I always loved testing my metal. I'm a 67 year old Grammy. I'm going to love your videos.
Being able to make a fire in any weather conditions isn't a 'skill' it's a must have when spending time in the outdoors!! Safed my life more than once...

Sadly for a large majority of people, starting a fire with even a lighter is a difficult task... even 40 years ago it was common knowledge.
I taught wilderness and Winter survival to my SWAT teams and other rescue personnel. I give full kudos to Ranger Survival and Field Craft for his straightforward approach and techniques. He says it best at the end; go practice what he teaches so it is not just knowledge, it is applied science.

Every time I watch one of your videos I pick up a piece of knowledge thank you sir
seating at home, when in a hard time need to survive, will say thank you for all your great idea and knowledge, as we will survive because of you,
18:50 We can use the opposite to gain body temp. I used a similar bag and filled it with some warm water(not hot!) and put it inside my clothing before sleeping. Helped me to stay a little more warm at night.
Nalgene canteens are rated for boiling water. Heat it, pour it in and clean the canteen; or use it as a hot water bottle.
You sir are the real deal. Lives may be saved because you have shared this knowledge. Thank you
You have the best survival channel, period! Every single video you've produced, I've learned numerous things. Keep them coming
How much of your day is spent creating potable water ? I would think if you're going to remain somewhat stationary a "bag" of some type to store water would be ideal.
Good job . Rangers lead the way
You could upgrade this by wrapping other cord around the chain so you have extra cord for improvisation etc
greetings from germany
Happy new year, Andrew and fellow viewers!!!
Excellent video. So much new info,
Thank you so much for your continued posting of survival videos every Sunday…
You are part of my Sunday routine !!!
God bless you, real good 😊🙏🏻
Outstanding!
I was born in rainforest and I´m amazed about cold survival skills!
Thank you for the information, I live in North Dakota so I will make it.
Thank you! Happy new year!
Loved the mosquito net trick- I live in Maine, so that is definitely in all my kits, but I also have dogs . This is a great way to melt water for them too!!!
Also, a darn good sniper position. Thank you for your Service as an Army Ranger and the educational video. God bless you. 🙏🕊✝️🇺🇸❤
Ty for this video, I haven’t made a snow cave or Quinzee shelter since the 1980’s while in the army, yes Swedish torches work well…..

Amazing video! I love the attention to thermal regulation. Keeping cool while hiking and climbing can seriously reduce water usage.
I like the mix of voice over and 'live' commentary. Great content as ever.

Happy New year Andrew. Another great video. I picked up some great tips. Keep up the good work
Good to hear from a "military brat." You all are the highest of distinguished "double veterans." Nobody can get the job done like you guys can!
Excellent video. I've had my share of winter backpacking and making a quinzee at 10,000ft to sleep and stay warm. Again thx.
Wow great job super skills
Thankyou for another educational video , you never know when one of these learned tips may be useful or even lifesaving
Another great video! Thank you, and Happy New Year!

Hi! Been watching since mid 2022. Corpral set me. He was right, your great! Looking forward to your future videos.
Awesome video my friend
One of your absolute best. 4 degrees last week in N. Ga. mountains especially on the AT ! Bravo.

Thanks Andrew, another great video!
Thank you. Your skills are amazing
This was another outstanding video Major. You and Cpl. Kelly have some of the most valuable information for survival in the wilderness I have seen on YT. Thank you!
When using an ax to break ice on a pond or lake , it's good to have a hole through the bottom of the ax handle to tie a lanyard around your wrist in order to prevent accidentally losing your precious tool in the cold drink ; if your ax handle doesn't have such a hole I would suggest drilling one . Excellent content on Winter survival Major ! ! !
Very cool I enjoyed seeing how to survive in winter and get water
... gotta love that delightful woodland camo ... right there in that pure white snow ... lol
Thanks for sharing! Great things to have in the car while traveling in the winter! And to practice, of course.
Thanks, great tips.
Your vids always deliver the goods. Thanks.
Very usefull information, thanks for another great video Andrew
Good tips liked the artic bag. Thanks. I always keep my canteens clean to keep items contaminated separated.
Awesome knowledge! Thanks for sharing! All the best wishes for 2023 from the Netherlands!
I find your videos very knowledgeable on survival keep them coming
Very Helpful. Thank you.
Great stuff! As kids we dug snow caves all them.
Nice one 👍 Andrew it did look cold keep safe and keep the videos comeing big thanks
Loved your presentation on winter survival skills.
Great info. Happy New Year!
great winter survival video.
Love the mosquito net trick. I’m adding this to my kit.
Arctic necklace looks like an amazing idea!
Incredible job
'Stay away from the snow that's yellow - that's not lemon flavour' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great video. Thank you,.
Much love for the great lesson. Thanks
I have seen alot of survival videos but your videos are amazing. Stay safe and stay healthy
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
thank you. the upside down water bottle trick is something ive not heard of before. and great work showing the artic bag design.
Found you last night Andrew, thanks to Kelly, it's good to see your videos and learn, I hope you do well on TH-cam, I have been enjoying Corporals Corner with Marine Kelly for the last four years. Good luck.
Great vid! Happy New Year!🎆🇺🇸🫡👍
Also seeing those sbow shoes made me lol. We are getting rid of those. And going to a beaver tail type.
I have two pairs if the old ones. Two thumbs up
Thanks for making the video.
Loved your video. Missed the captions for us hearing impaired. Hope your not forgetting us too!
Thank you Sir for all the great information. Mors would be happy
Another awesome video. Thank you.
I had forgotten most of those from military days! thanks great video!
Hi Andrew, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thankyou for your time to make these videos, hope you enjoyed your new year celebrations.
Wow, there's a whole kit bag full of essential survival information! Thank you, a superb video well presented, even if down n dirty 👍😊
Great video. Lots of important information that can save someone
Snow cave is great for survival, you will be able to survive, you will not be comfortable, We had to do this when I was in the USMC at the mountain warfare training center, it sucked sleeping in a snow cave.
Again Superb video👍👍👍👍
Well done Andrew.... great video
Thank you sir! This is the greatest source of 100% useful information 👌
No bullshit, this will save your life. Appreciate you sir
Shalom Aleichem.
That mosquito net trick is really a cool idea. I guess it also helps filter out any junk that might be in the snow?
Just stay away from the yellow snow, LOL.
Also those surplus snow shoes being magnesium is a great idea for fire starting.
As a retired mechanic (on disability) I have a couple of bad old VW cases and they're magnesium. It'd be worth carrying a small plastic container fill with magnesium flakes!
I'm learning a lot an I'm 68½ years old and not that'll I be hiking in the back country any time in the future, these skill would come in handy if I break down somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
I always carry at least 7 days worth of food, water, plus ammo an a med kit and blankets plus fire starting device's. One never knows.
