Here on behalf of corporal’s orders, his praise was accurate and I am glad to have another source of information and entertainment. Outstanding AF
Same here! I started watch a few weeks before he gave him the shout out but I seen alot of what I love in this channel and he has a wealth of knowledge.
I was already a big fan of both. They're both a great resource
@@jeremybryant5778 oh yeah I'ma huge fan of Mr kelly and now this channel both are great I love how thease guys are so creative.
Corporal sent me
I'm not gonna lie, as much as I like da corporal, I dig this guy a bit more.
I was already a subscriber before Shawn mentioned you were retiring from the Army. I tend to follow the military folk's channels anyway. I'm glad you stuck with it to teach us more. Thanks, brother.
Awesome, using the spoon as a bearing block is an outstanding idea. thanks
Line the lid of your first aid kit with aluminum foil, it can be used many different ways. Great video, keep going!
I've had that same hatchet since I was 6 I'm 37 now. My dad had it a few years before he passed away and we used many, many, many times camping. I inherited it after he passed and have used it ever since.
Great family heirloom to cherish and pass down .
I've seen some real nice belt ax leather sheith s that incorporates a folding knife as well as a ferro rod holder on the sheith very well thought out .
Found one in an auction lot years ago. A belt, some gloves, and a pair of boots later and it was cleaned up with a new handle. It has been a great little ax since then.
Turned that Estwing into a real razor edge....Awesome 👍🇦🇺
Wow. I forgot the paper compass method! Learned it in the 80s. And old school year...ALICE, sleeping bag and cover, "L" shaped flashlight... Memory lane stuff. Thank you for the reminder
The Corporal sent me, keep kicking ass. Appreciate your sacrifice and service sir🇺🇸🦅
Most important part of my kit for urban and woodland is my RMJ Tactical Kestrel. Don’t leave home without it.
There is an alternative to the solar compass. We all have button compasses and other small cheapies that died from bubbles. Carefully crack the case, and remove the disk. That can be slipped into your wallet and floated on a palm full of of water. A small button compass, you can float it in a bottle cap! Just remember to double check that it is accurate, because sometimes it is more than the bubble.
Saw the corporals video the other day. He mentioned the possibility of you joining the crew at the pathfinder school following your honorable service in the army…. Did I call that or what… I think I mentioned my hunch of that 6 months ago! Either way, I’ll continue to check out every vid ya drop brother. Thanks for the great content.
I honestly hope not I'm not a supporter of a company built off a lier of one's military background . I hated to see Kelly and GBGB go to work for someone like that but guess the money outshines the dishonor . I remember Dave when all he had was a Utube channel then he lied to land a spot on Dual Survival and he honestly didn't know much about friction fires Cody had to show him lol. Anyways I have my reasons to be a non supporter of the guy. Andrew has a great potential to start his own School without the need to piggyback off pathfinder school and unrealistically I don't see how getting some patches from his school makes for a survival trainer all these skills can be learned by oneself just need to practice .
I was here before the Corporal recommended it. I totally agree that the Major has no need to work for someone else, unless he just doesn't want to be saddled with the "business" and other "admin" aspects of it. But I'd love to see the Major open his own school ! I'm a veteran and not a fan of stolen valor. What I have of that I EARNED, and didn't have to fudge.
@@treerat6959 I agree that what Dave did was pretty shameful. But I’ll say this, no one is free from error. The thing that separates us the most is how we act and react when we make mistakes and how we attempt to redeem ourselves. Making a public apology was a good start and to be honest I feel like most people wouldn’t have had the guts to do that. Since that, he has moved on and provided a great outlet for military veterans such as Kelly and GBGB to continue earning a living do something they love. Dave’s content on Dual survival was mostly just entertainment, it was on cable tv after all. But Dave, among the others associated with the Pathfinder School, have continued to put out a high standard of content within the topic of survival. But hey, just my opinion. I appreciate yours as well
@@erickmo1188 very well put. 👏
@@baronedipiemonte3990 Same here
Wish you would explain using a compass for COMPLETE newbies. Your explanation was so convoluted my head was spinning.
The Estwing hatchet is one of the most underrated pieces of gear in the survival/bushcraft world. It's all a matter of getting a proper edge on it (which it does NOT come with) and it'll do anything those $200+ boutique hatchets will do (I know because I stupidly bought them, and then found out the only difference is they came with a proper edge), and you have a nigh indestructible tool.
Tip for those old bags: the snaps won't line up, but you can put them in a modern Gore-Tex bivy sack, and close the sack separately from the bag to help the water resistance
Snaps aren't hard to rebuild.
Yeah, GideonsTactical did a comparison between the Estwing and much more expensive hatchet. $35 vs $135 in the title of that video. He was shocked at how well the Estwing did. He did sharpen his. I remember leaving a comment there basically saying how pathetic it was for the expensive axe company to charge so much just for a sharpen on the axe edge. I prefer the full tang strength of the Estwing anyway, even if it had a slightly inferior edge (imagining it did).
well said and for large edged tools a handi file only 8" from Nicholson and less$10 online great xtra choice along with stone for sharpening as well
thats why Taylor Swift used Estwing in one of her videos
Dont know how i missed this one, thank you Andrew. God bless you
Showing my age here but we used the plastic 2-piece cigarette cases for all kinds of things like the first aid kit. Started doing that at P.I. and since none of the high speed gear had yet come along, we made most all of our 782 gear modifications and additions. Great stuff here, Andrew, thanks!!
Remember everyone deployed. God bless you all. All the way.
Hello Andrew, great content. I also have the Eastwing hatchet and love it and use it.
I particularly enjoy your method of teaching, must be all the training you earned as a Ranger. Respect to all who have served. It's Remembrance Day in Canada on November 11, Veteran's Day for you Americans, therefore I salute you and thank you for your service.
The Corporal sends his regards. Looking forward to learning.
There is no school like the old school! Your knowledge and skills are great. No wonder Shawn respects and likes you, you're both awesome guys. Thanks a lot Ranger!!
Your videos never disappoint…
Always full of knowledge and added tips for survival…
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
…I love fall and seeing the beautiful fall landscape in your videos…😊
I think you would have a better school than the pathfinder school, stolen valor to get ahead does not make a school that I am interested in, surprised that the corporal has become a surrogate of a liar, rather than to remain a marine who has more honor for the armed services….
@@benterwellen I don’t understand what you are saying…
@@cindyjean3208
This is referencing dave canterbury, the reason he got and lost the job on dual survival was he had submitted fake military records and got caught, prior to dual survival he was just another you tuber, dual survival opened the door for him, sure he apologized but only because he got caught, veterans dont look at people like him very favorably....
@@benterwellen I'm a veteran, I know about Canterbury from what I "heard" on YT and read on-line. I'm not much on TV, especially the "reality shows". So I'd not heard of him prior to YT. If you want to be technical, Canterbury violated Federal law, seeking or receiving personal gain thru deception, by stolen valor. He embellished his military records. Be that as it may, I will say that to be promoted to the rank of Major (O-4) and of Rangers (as opposed to a non combat arms billet), you have to know what you are doing ! You don't slide or glad hand your way into that. That's good enough for me. And I come from a military family so I don't waste my time on BS.
@@baronedipiemonte3990
I agree totally with what you have said, I wasn’t slighting the Major at all, I just would rather that he doesn’t end up working for pathfinder……in any capacity….
Excellent, I love seeing the old school tricks!
Appreciate the content, yes the corporal sent me a week ago, you’ve got some pretty good info. Liked the spoon trick for the bow drill, that’s a trick I didn’t know.
Hatchet survival.... Never thought of doin survival with just one tool.... Especially not a ax(hatchet)! Keep up the videos . your skill set. Is eye 👁️ opening. And and helpful. Another tool for my tool box. Kudos
I have the same hatchet and i like your sharpening process. Thank you … that was an awesome pro-tip!
Thank you for your service
Love your work outstanding.
Cool vid. There's a variation on the buzz saw. Get one of those battery powered flashlights that has the shape of a chem light where the light changes color. Home Depot might have them. It has different colors as you cycle through but the last one is multi-colored. When you put it through the motion you get a psychedelic effect that looks like railroad tracks of two different colors then changes color every few seconds.
seeing all the old school gear reminded me of going camping with my buddy. His dad was Air Force up here in Canada...he had all sorts of stuff he let us use...and i swear he had the same sleeping bags,,,he got some from his time in Germany...got stuff from the US Army guys. I remember him watching me use an old P38 can opener...he was shocked I knew how to use it...
I had extended family who where Canadian Rangers heck they where still shooting the #4 Lee enfields in early 2000's just heard that they recently went to a 308 bolt action tikka. These Rangers know a thing about survival.
The video I always wanted! A ranger and his hatchet there's some great history. Love mine and I use it! Love both your guys channels been watching you both for a long time. And as usual thanks for everything you do Major you lead I'll follow.
The corporal sent me over to check out this channel.
Nice seeing someone still uses a compass besides me.
I was familiar with a paper compass, I was aware of them, however it was great to see one in action.
Thank you.
#LGB #FJB #AlexJonesisRightAgain
I've got one of the sleeping bags that came out as a different model after that mountain bag. I love the Mummy bag I've got. Yeah, it's heavy, but holy hell is it warm and comfy at night
Wow! Estwing hatchet is the one on my dream list! The black one edition. Thanks for a review! You just confirmed it's a must have for me now!
Some great content sir, your hatchet brought up some old memories. Happy Trails
Awesome information
Following corporals orders. Great to find another reliable source
Thanks.
Great presentation Andrew! It is always beneficial info. Really liked the book compass.
Another well thought out and executed video, Ranger! And you have a sense of humour to 🥾 boot as well. Lol!
Thanks. Looking forward to more school next year...remember that bag from back in the day! More or less, warm. I am interested in school out West as well. Perhaps with your expertise...
wow great info. the more you know. Lead the way
Just watched it again great one
More great info Major! Hope you get to join the team at the Pathfinder school 🤠
I love your channel! I’m always trying to learn something new that’s of my interests & your videos are cozy to watch too. Keep up the outstanding work! 👍👍
Thank you for the video! The Corporal sent me.
Excellent Video Brother! Be Safe out there
Another great video man. Lovin the content. Keep up the outstanding work. It is much appreciated! Digging the OG Woodlands. Best camo ever! No school like old school
Thanks bro..
Outstanding!
Good video. Corp had a good suggestion again. 😂
Good stuff
I wasn't in the military so the info regarding the sleeping bag was lost on me. Thought do to thumbnail there were going to be more hatchet info. Lots of good information in the video. Thanks for sharing the tricks.
Imagine being in a combat zone zipped up nice and snug in your civilian bag...how long would it take you to get out and put yourself into action? Military sleeping bags are designed to be grasped and basically ripped open so you can jump out in a hurry. Yeah, it seems strange in civilian life...luckily for me my years in the Army were all peacetime!
@@asmith7876 makes sense that they are designed that way but why wouldn't they be waterproof?
@@rickkerans8485 My Army days were before the invention of Goretex and other such things. Stationed in the desert southwest even though it snowed like mad and was insanely cold it was still pretty dry. We’d toss a canvas tarp over the bag and hope for the best during the rare rain. I’m guessing in prior decades something similar was done, even if it was just a poncho. Military life is NOT about comfort! 🤣
I like all of your videos even do they dotn all say survival skills they still have some in there and your skills are really useful keep on making more videos:)
Another great job. Covered lots of bases...but dinner was a little well done.
As always thanks
Still looks good when your hungry lol
I apprecaite the hatchet sharpening hip pocket class. I am horrible at sharpening and I have become very self-conscious about it.
Corp sent me nice to meet you
Hi! I appreciate your content. Good job!!!
Corporal sent me. Great vids
Just subscribed look forward to growing my skills
I carry a strong magnet in case I get metal shaving in my eye this happened to me when I was young the hospital used the magnet to get the metal out
Came over from the corporal.
The corporal sent me like the channel very informative
Love this channel.... I get excited every time I see the notification for another new vid. Love the soap dish trick. I use one for first aid / sewing / fishing / fire starting....kits. I thought I was a genius for doing it :) , but apparently not......my life story.
Been around for a while with you. Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your videos going all the way back and that you’re a real inspiration too. Congratulations man!
I love that Estwing hatchet. It's cheap, indestructible, and easy to sharpen. It's not a G-B but it doesn't cost $300 either! Perfect for the trunk e-kit.
I found a super old one that looks to be in relatively good shape at a local antique store. Thinking it might be carbon steel. May have to pick it up!
Quick tip: sand the finish off of that Estwing’s handle and rub some neatsfoot oil into the leather rings. You won’t get so many blisters that way, and I think the grip is a lot better.
That was Outstanding!! I have had military surplus gear since I was a kid, from sleeping bags to old ruck frames from the 50's. I like the hatchet presentation you did very detailed! I personally like the Tomahawk instead of the hatchet due to versatility. Dave C. had a video on the Tomahawk give it a watch if you haven't done so already. Again Outstanding video !!! can't wait for what's next!!
Awesome video, never disappointed! Do you isolate the battery contacts when that flashlight is stored? Just curious. I store batteries outside the flashlights that are in my car kits(ranger banded to the outside of the light). I've had too many batteries leak inside, ruining the flashlight.
Yep, batteries 🤷♂️I’ve never had a lithium battery leak and I try to use them exclusively. I’ve recently started switching to USB rechargeable devices. Flashlights, lanterns, radios, etc. I carry a small USB charged power bank and can recharge everything I take into the woods. Using LED’s has been a game changer too.
Who’s corporal’s corner? I have always watched your videos without a recommendation. Anyway thanks for another great video sir.👍
Your videos are awesome. Everything is super explained. Thank you very much and many greetings from Germany
I'm now a loyal subscriber to your channel after Corporals Corner's shoutout. Thanks for the work you put into your videos.
Neat trick with the L-Head Flashlight ; BUT , can you start a fire using that same Flashlight with NO Batteries , NO Wires , NO Steel Wool , and a burned out Bulb ? I CAN ! ----- Actually it's quite simple . Gather some dry grass (the darker the better) and twist it into a somewhat tight rod-shape about a quarter inch in diameter . Next , remove the reflector from the flashlight , and remove the bulb . Now , push your grass ''rod'' through the bulb hole from the back side until it's about a quarter of the way into the reflector . Now aim the reflector at the SUN (as long as you can see the Sun , this works) and slowly push the grass forward until you get the Focal Point (that concentrated dot of reflected sunlight) on the end of your grass ''rod'' . Within moments you should have a spark if not flames . ---- This DOES work ; I'm a smoker and I've been lighting my cigarettes (during the Day) for many many years with nothing more than an old flashlight reflector . Definitely gets peoples attention . lol .
You and Kelly have earned all true Americans respect ✊ thank you for your service. And God bless
Love your videos. Wish I would have learned these skills in the Army. I was in in the 80s and was in an MI unit. Didn’t get this training.
I was a subscriber before cpl Kelly mentioned you but hey that's a good dude to have shouting you out. Hooah!
Thank you for your military service and excellent videos. Using the flashlight with the steel wool was an excellent idea that I never would have thought of.
I did see the shout-out, but I was following you long before that, you both give very good information, I like the fact you dive into the military stealth as well.
Thanks for your first aid idea and the signal light.im going to put them in my backpack.thanks again.
USING A SPOON FOR A BOW DRILL total pro-tip. using a soap box for first aid kit! genius move! amazing content
Didn't need the Corporal to find your channel. Great content. Glad he gave you the shout out.
The Corporal sent me......
Shawn knows how to call them. I’m certainly on board! Good job.
Estwing and 110 knife will last forever plus 4 days and do all you ask of it
My hatchet hasn't looked that nice in years. I had to take a sharp nail and stipple the handle on mine.
Supreme tools for relatively small money
Totally digging the soap dish first aid kit. We used to use to old plastic containers water proof and holds a lot of med supplies. this is readily available and works great. thanks for the tips.
Hi keep up the great work I'm retired Army veteran thank you for service
I will be coming back to this video often for refresh
Another really great and interesting video big thanks ,
Andrew ! Was watching your videos before the shout out by the Corporal! Please keep making these videos !
Two questions though.
#1 why no make shift rake (like Shawn usually highlights in his videos.
#2 Why wouldn't you want the sticks longer for your shelter in case it rains (so you could tuck in further *despite your mummy bag) ?
Ace show mate
Awesome as always. Thanks Andrew 🤜🔥
Yea, my hatchet is dull, got to sharpen it for sure...But, my hand saw isn't....it cut the heck out the tip of my finger last Sunday....Thanks 4 the video 😁👍
Dang that had to hurt, hope that feels better soon.
Very good video, a lot of basics shown. One thing I thought was missing: How did you select the wood for the fire-board and spindle for the bow drill set?
Great to see you on the trail today! Excellent training topics today. I started out with the M49 Mountain Bag “fart sack” too, absolutely hated it… by the time I was issued mine from CIF it had probably lost 50% or more of its insulator value I figure… many cold nights in Korea while in the field, thank God for the poncho liner to wrap up into. Nice use of the GI spoon for the bearing block! Keep up the Fire!
The corporal sent me
I love you and Mr Kelly. Very matter of fact. Straight to the point. Zero filler. I'm guessing you would vote a "certain way" I might be totally of the mark, but .........brandon.
Excellent video as usually. I learned something new. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Great video...great survival tips also....used the military flashlight several times as you showed in Panama...thank you for your honesty and loved the show...will continue watching...Freedom for all people...
Outstanding video!!!! Corporal sent me and I am impressed!!!! Keep up the great work……..
Gday Andrew, late recruit here, but Im binge watching all these videos, yours, Sean's and Stoker 👍. Really informative and great watching...
Carry on 👍
Cpl. Kelly sent me. Glad I came over. Great video. I subscribed. Thank you.
Very cool! Always liked the Eastwing Hatchet 👍🏻
Great video Andrew. I liked the tip on char cloth especially!
RESPECT.
