![ความรักไม่ได้น่ากลัวขนาดนั้น (TRUST ME) - LYKN [ OFFICIAL MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9np-lAtCRpQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I've watched many, many of your videos on TH-cam. As a hand quilter, I highly recommend that you include a thimble (should fit your middle finger) in your sewing kit. If you have to repair anything very thick (pants, tarps) you're gonna need it. They are small and lightweight.
Good point. Thanks!
@@johnmacias9487 I just knew you would see the wisdom in that thimble .
might be able to make a temporary one from the cargo tape, it's pretty strong, then again, they weigh nothing!
Never hurts to have one ready to go but in a pinch alot of things can work as a thimble
My favorite part of this kit is that it all looks USED!!! No sponsored BS... just stuff you've tested and KNOW that it works! Great video man, fairly new sub, but been a pleasure catching up on all you've done! Look forward to what's coming!
So true
While printing your map. Print several more. One to leave with a responsible person, one in your car at the trailhead. Please include dates, and number in your party, expectations on your hunt. Marked on the map.
The only big thing I'd add to this is a canteen or water bottle along with the bladder- rigid containers are more robust than bladders but I might be old fashioned. Also easier to tie loop around one and lower it into steep, narrow space for water. If your going to wrap your Mora sheath with paracord and then use ranger bands to secure it, maybe tape a spare, small ferro rod, a sewing needle or two, a couple fish hooks, and some spectra or kevlar thread/fishing line to the sheath under the 550? Maybe even wrap the 550 with electricians tape to protect it, secure it, and lets face it, tape is good and two or three feet of black tape weighs nothing. But if you take it too far, you're getting into Cody Lundin country with a lighter and whistle there as well, so... Im just think out loud.
A tiny point about the gloves, one channel did bring up a point to make certain you gloves are leather, and not a synthetic material, since the synthetics can catch fire and melt to your skin easier if you are working around a camp fire. Leather has been used by blacksmiths forever since it is very flame resistant.
Good point! I find shooter gloves are good for protecting the palms, but the tops of the gloves are usually thinner.
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft , carry sap gloves in case you run into a bear, add a little power to your punches, lol. Or maybe a chainsaw, another multipurpose item. Lightweight? I guess not.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads on this site!!!
Love your channel...
Love hearing the background sounds... the stream, birds...
and your voice... “but wait... there’s more”... your explanations of each item needed...
I now have backpacks in my truck and my car...
And still working on my survival skills..
😊
Thank you for the wishes to the dads.
the only thing I would do different is I've switched over to rechargeable batteries. I carry a lightweight charger and small battery bank w/ solar just in case my excursion outlasts battery supply. great kit as always
Accurate and authentic. This was the core of the kit I carried during active-duty Recon in combat zones. However, now I add those little coin size paper towels and a couple of small Band-Aids and antibiotic. They take up such little space and I am forever getting cuts and scratches that need to be cleaned up and bandaged.
Earlier this week I did just a brief outing for fun. I picked some wild blackberries along the hike up the mountain.
I gained a few Thorn cuts that just kept bleeding. They were bleeding down my wrist and into my palms and on my hand. No big deal. Nothing serious. But I did clean them up and bandage them. It's hard to do much when you've got bloody hands.
Great video. Thanks for not trying to sell people gadgets and widgets.
Well said Michael!
This was very helpful, as an newbie to all of this and in my 60's its great to here about things you can add to these kits. I am a big fan of Kitbashed for this reason he not only buys kits but he shows you things that he would add...great post love Andrews chennel he, he has great videos and nice people like yourself willing to jelp newbies that are intrested in the idea of surviving a zombie apocolyps lol...thanks again...and i will be checking you out to!
I carry a little tube of super glue with my kits for small cuts.
The best survival channel on TH-cam.
Best spoof of Corporal's Corner I have ever seen!!! The descriptions, the talk, the detail keeps me laughing!!! Great job Bro!!!! Keep up the comedy!!!!
I flew in airplanes for eight years while in the Air Force. Before getting in an airplane all candidates have to go through the altitude chamber to see if they can handle the effects of low oxygen due to decreased partial pressure. Any level above 10,000 feet can cause nausea and sickness and it's something some people don't get used to. The organ most effected is the brain and it can have very negative consequences when it comes to decision making. Anyway, I'm with you on the lightweight approach. Makes hiking more enjoyable. As usual nice vid.
Agreed. It creates disorientation, confusion and depth perception issues. I do a lot of Enduro riding in Colorado. They sell lightweight oxygen canisters at almost every grocery store. Very helpful.
The knife on the Leatherman wave is a gem when it comes to dressing small game. Much more efficient than a large knife
Yeah, it is legit and quickly becoming my favorite!
I've seen multitools catch a lot of flak on TH-cam comments, but when I was working for this one developer, we built the roads into the development and we did everything including the final decorations. Rough mountain place. Mountain lion and bear tracks on the road next to heavy machinery.we always had our leatherman or ozark trail, or whichever multitool was handy fixing a part or cutting or sawing. After that job, a multitool is first to go into my pocket. I keep it close. I depend on it that much.
@@overthehill9415 I was very sceptic about multitools, when they came to the shelves. I got one anyway. They are not as good as a tool dedicated to a job. However they are up to most jobs I used them for. Most of the time I have the multitool on me when the dedicated tools are not. I really like those tools. When compared to a set of tools are not going to get a good rating. When you respect their limits, they are great items.
@@maxlutz3674 absolutely right. Multitools are not the best for the job necessarily, but it's a lot easier to carry one multitool than it is to carry a full toolbelt. I already burnt over 7k calories a day on that job, if it saved me a trip to the truck for a tool, then I was using it.
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft EDC is a leather man, an old timer with blade, guthook, and saw. Lighter with tape. 🤔JT it wouldn’t be hard to secure a fish hook and line, a craft knife blade and needle and thread under the tape. The lighter lanyard with chapstick idea is great!
Best kit of all time. Perfect.
Yep, dang near perfect - add a piece or your favorite moral boosting sweet treat. Not just your current favorite but the one that takes you back to when you were a kid w/ not a trouble in the world. That psychological effect can carry you for miles in a survival situation.
"DROP TOP!" That was awesome. Little things like that are what keep me coming back. Not over the top but still keeping a serious topic lite. Keep up the awesome work.
I liked your kit. One suggestion, Get Energizer Lithium AA and AAA batteries. Worth the money. Lighter, last longer , longer shelf life, they will not leak ever and lastly, in an emergency they can be dismantled and put in container of water to cause a chemically activated fire. Good job.
You Sir are truly one of America's finest. Major Rangers lead the way! Another great video.
Fantastic light weight pack that covers the bases extremely well. Those inline Sawyers are so versatile.
Another excellent video out...... I absolutely love this channel.
Corporals corner was right outstanding AF channel!
Airborne!
Recently trying Salt Stick products, and like them over using water soluble electrolytes, as don't need to pfaff if sucking water through an inline filter. Also make a capsule with added caffeine.
Undoubtedly the most versatile, capability to weight ratio, lightweight survival pack I've ever seen! And presented well! I'm going to put one of these together. Nice job Major!
Another great video with another great kit. Love the down and dirty crash course approach. Really makes it stick. All my load outs Mirror your advice. You lead the way Ranger!!!!!
I am absolutely loving your videos. Even though I consider myself well educated, I've still learned a lot from you. Thanks!
You should check out the cnoc vecto 2 and 3 liter bags to carry water and attach the sawyer filters. That's what I use. Way more durable than the sawyer bags and real easy to scoop water out of a stream or puddle. Highly recommend.
Your light weight survival kit is more robust than most bug out bags here on you tube! 👍🏼
Absolutely fantastic kit, and awesome video production quality! Thanks for all that you do for our community Andrew!
I have been watching you for a little while now .. I see you run your kits basically by the 10c and add your military twist to it .. awesome .. keep up the great work ,, and congrats on the promotion ..
Outstanding
Really appreciate and love your sharing ! So proud of our American Army personnels ! We highly honor all of you !
Perfect light weight bag
If a person is injured, lost, in a real emergency situation, if you are serious about getting rescued, one item does it. Get a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) and take the 30-37 seconds required learn how to use it. It sends signals to the satellites, works world wide, tells NOAA where you are. When registered with NOAA, they also know who you are. Several makes out there. I carry an ARC Res Q Link. It’s only critical.

Good to have and I do agree in those that are able have one however, they are not as reliable as simply leaving a map and details with someone at home combined with search and rescue as a matter of majority of rescues. A combo of a PLB and leaving details behind would be prb be best. An example I ran into looking into the rates of rescue via source PLB vs. SAR: in 2017 there were approximately 200 uses of a PLB resulting a couple hundred rescues. The majority of those were used by people on sinking ships/coastal regions. In that same period nearly 3500 people went missing in national forests. 97% were found within 24 hours as a result of search and rescue. Something of interest was that the majority of deaths in a national forests were a result of drowning and exposure to heat or cold ranked 6th and 7th. I thought that was interesting.
winter changes everything about survival bags :)
I have been on a SAR team for over 15 years in Colorado . Majority of our call outs are above 13k feet. I can share our SAR bag pack list with you if your interested.
Andrew,,, in regards to the 55gal drum liners,, Shawn Kelly makes a raised bed with them. Two lashed tri-pods on each end. 2 poles, through opposite sides, inside the liners.lashing the 2 poles to the “A”, of the tri-pod. You’ve probably made one already,,,, Great Video and ideas,,, Joshua
Yeah, we made one for the final shelter in the advanced course! It was a lot of fun!
Great! I’d just add some sunscreen and a pair of sunglasses. On the muntains the air is fresh but the sun kicks heavy ;-)
Excellent loadout nothing you don't need
Two items. Fire a pencil sharpener. either a standard or carpenter one. Makes finer shavings than feather sticks even faster. Leaves a pointy stick for arrows or small spear. Even with wet wood only the edge is wet.
Second replace the thread in the sewing with silk. Very strong an what they use to use for sutures.
You can get fine silk at needlework shops...
I had to do a similar emergency cave stay with garbage bag rain ponchos stuffed with leaves and 2 days of snow!! It was an amazing adventure!
Watching this again! Great content!
Nice kit, well thought out, and compact.
Great Video as usual. I use the M.U.L.E. as my light Day Pack, i will add a few items that you displayed here. Thanks!
Always like how you put things together
Thanks Brother
We love your videos Andrew
When are we going to get shirts and swag/ tactical gear/ survival kits built by you? Take my money!!!!! Standing by for the next video sir!!
Outstanding video, corporal sent me!!!!!
Andrew, as always a very informative and useful video on survival in the outdoors, hoo-aah Ranger!
I wish I had your videos as a resource when teaching Hunter Safety and Basic Survival and fieldcraft skills in the early 2000s. In NH volunteer certified instructors would assist our NHFG Conservation officers to teach and train future Hunters and the course was and is compact but effective as a primer for new outdoorsman and women.
Can not recommend your program enough as I learn new skills each video. Thanks
NHMIKE
Hey there, Ranger. Greating from Corporal's Corner, Shawn sent me. :P Love what you're doing here, keep it up.
Once again a good vidio . I moved from a flat area in North Germany to the mountains in Austria. I hunted alot as kid , fish all my life . Because im grown up in South Africa i was allways interested being outside . Survivel was a isue. Also because i dont know in wich way the Politic is going here it could be importent . I just startet to get my kit together for a few months . Thats why i like your vidios but also the way you present it . Excuse my Englisch. Not alot of experience the last few years . I also lived in other countrys like Gambia and Australia so i can do a littel bit of a few but nothing perfekt. But i know people will understand it . Thanks for the vidio .
Major Andy , well done sir !
Love your content! I hope you‘ll manage to keep it coming during your latest army training! Best channel around! Greetings from a former member of the German Army (E7).
I use paracord 550 has laces you can always keep the outside layer for laces and work with the inside
Adding a small zip tie around the button of the bic lighter prevents your lighter from losing its fuel and can be removed and replaced once zipped, clipping the extra length makes it a little sharp though can be filed to prevent cuts. Plus the adhesive sticker is also flammable, once you have a empty lighter if the wheel is removed slowly the springs can be made into a snare & fishing hook and the childproof metal can be removed and can also be made into a fishing hook.
Bang on again Andrew. Cheers
You Sir are AWESOME I love your videos but what I like most is you seem down to earth and very honest plus you are well spoken and straight to the point. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BROTHER!!!!!!!
"... but wait, there's more!..."
made me laugh. 😅🤣😅
I watched this video when you first posted it. I love re-watching your stuff. Always so informative, you break down the information so well. It really sticks in my head. Thanks again for all you do 😊
I would add a poncho to the exterior. Easy access, save your drum liners for the browse bed, maybe keep your fire or fuel dry. I try to have a poncho with me even in the city though. You never know and it's light in weight.
Call me Linus, it's a security thing.
Most comprehensive light weight survival kit for the mountains I’ve seen. Solid job man!
I have also snaked a few IR strobes in my days!
Thanks for serving our country
I like your thinking. I have a suggestion. Carry duct tape even more compactly. Not on a roll. From a plastic, gallon, milk bottle, cut out a smooth panel about 2”X6-8”. Wrap tape around that. Can easily put 1/8th to 1/4th of a large roll on here. Packs flat and flexible. To save cuss words, I double over 1/8” on the tip end to make it easy to start pealing of
I love my MULE. Awesome day pack.
Thank you for your in site.
Wow! Just look at all the goodies you have. Keep going Ranger.
Good to see you have not become a Major snob and forgotten about us common folks
Nice set up . Happy Father’s Day
Thanks!
Thanks for the information. As a bonus to the video, take a drink every time Andrew says "kit."
The first video of yours I watched was your video for Pathfinder school and what your kit consisted of. I kinda lost track of you then Kelly brought your name up, now I can't stop watching, thanks for your time , great video
Clean clear and to the point no babbling on and on no gimmicks just great information and interesting ...thanks good work!!!!
Straight up, no chaser!! Im forever in debt to you sir! Thank you for your professionalism and support 🙏 ❤ 💪🇺🇸
Dude it was great seeing you show your kit and hearing your explanations. I will watch this again. Thanks.
Get some rice and ten big slimjims some spices. Cook it up and tell me what you would rather have . Maybe catch a fish. Two pounds of rice for a dollar can't go Rong. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts. Great video good job well done.
Very nice kit thanks for sharing, stay safe
Currently my ruck weighs about 400 lbs. Thank you! This helps a lot. I’ll use the KISS method.
My go to Survival Channel! Thank you.
Very good points
Good kit. Great ideas. Thank you.
👍👍👍 Good lightweight kit!
I live in south africa some of our water sources has little too heavy polluted water. Water tablets fitlers is perfect too use. Ive built my kit what you have shown in recent too late videos.
Good video, good talk. Great information.
Thanks for the good work.
Great video Andrew, thank you sir 👍
You listen to what we ask for , i made a comment about that light weight kit not so long ago and you delivered, altoid is an exercice this is for real thanks mate i appreciate
That was a very informative video. Thanks much.bye from Oregon
An outstanding kit.
👍🏻👍🏻
Great kit , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Excellent video Andrew! Survival prep involves thinking in systems: shelter, fire, water, first aid, communication/signaling, navigation, and food. You hit ‘em all!
thanks for another great video!! Keep them coming!!!
Hi Andrew ☺ good layout, and talk about the components, and uses of your kit, I was quite surprised you didn't include a s,s steel water bottle, for boiling in , use as a hot water bottle on a night, and obviously a second water carrier, I would check on your water purification tablets as some types don't kill Giardia, and cryptosporidium, this is not a criticism, just my two cents worth, otherwise I think you got it covered, after the basics it's always down to personal preferance on what extras your willing to carry, bearing in mind this video is about trying to keep the weight down,which is a never ending battle I find, but a couple of days and nights in the sticks soon teaches a person what he realy needs . As always, instructive ,useful , information is much appreciated Andrew, looking forward to the next one, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
Fantastic show mate.
Just found my new favorite channel
Andrew,
You are the BEAST of practical field craft and survival! Great content! Your videos are excellent.
Shawn Kelly at Corporals corner sent me over, I will add you to my must watch list…
Great Information.Thanks Brother! Always Learning Something New with these Videos.
Awesome video as usual Andrew. I'd go heavier on rations plus hot drinks. And dedicated first aid. I have a project coming up I'd like to see your treatment of
Thumbs up ! that was a well rounded kit. And a easy core item for any extended outdoor trips.
Great video 👍👍👍💯💯💯
Thanks a lot for the all inclusive especially great contents and insights behind this kit. Another great video as usual, always look forward to learning more from your great educated experiences.
Outstanding. Thank you
