Thank you for being real. Have watched several channels, and they all devolve into commercials - touting some lame monthly "survival" subscription deal that has over priced crap. Really appreciate an honest person. Thanks again.
When I married my wife, I had an LL Bean queen size wool trapper blanket. She washed it one day. Now I have really heavy, thick, single size wool trapper blanket. But, it is warm!
It's good to see another video Andrew, was starting to get a little worried bud. Stay safe n be well. As always looking forward to the next one, keep em coming...
I like commenting on older videos on this platform. I wish I found your channel earlier because I dig your style. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Love a small hatchet. So useful. Really should build your bed against a large stump, rock, or build a wall then have your fire with its own wall behind it to push the heat into you and then bunch off the barrier on the other side. This radiant heat will not only keep you warmer but it will allow you to have a much smaller fire and use less wood.
Thank you for demonstrating how minimal does not always mean a knife. I see too many videos in which the knife is the basic cutting tool. Granted it lends itself to many uses and is easier to carry; however, it also tends to infer that a knife is too important. I am reminded of Otzi the iceman's kit. A knife and an axe. We tend to focus on a knife much like focusing on a firearm. We lose sight of the axe and its multiple uses if pressed into service. So thanks for featuring the axe.
Good Video, good minimal kit. Plenty of Locust and Hedge Apple trees here in Southern Illinois. Hard to handle, but good for fence posts and burns hot.
I had already been watching your videos when Corporal's Corner refered me to tour Channel. One thing CC does is look for a branch that has one straight tine and two oblique tines on either side of the straight and use it like a broom to sweep leaves. For small areas using your foot works also.
G'day Andrew, what I particularly like about "5" vids, is that it pushes the boundaries of the selected 5 and as a result, forces one to think outside the box. If you have more items, well and good, apply the same logic to those too. Being winter specific, I'm surprised no tarp, but I guess you do have the tools and natural resources, (and perhaps trash), to build a shelter, so fair enough mate. Cheers Duke.
Less is more! The more I train in the Sangre De Cristos, the more I'm becoming a believer in minimalists kits. The more you know...Thanks for detail on the frame. Very helpful.
Andrew thanks for keeping your videos professional and "Family friendly" I love sharing your content, I am very glad that I don't have to explain to my Royal Rangers ( a church cub scout group ) and my 5 yr. old granddaughter what the abbreviation easy "AF" stands for.. seriously cool..
Nice Roycroft frame. I always lash on another 8-10” horizontal stick about 8” down from the top of the frame. That way I can easily use my ridgeline as the lashing for the blanket/tarp by going around the tips of all 4 points and not using the top except for the shoulder straps.
Enjoyed the video as always. I particularly like that most videos you cover survival scenarios from both sides of wanting to be rescued and not be found.
Real and to the point. I enjoy your videos. Your Bushcraft projects are always practical and welcomed. Shawn Kelly was right when he said that you should have more subs. Your content is excellent. Thanks. Keep up the great work Andrew.
Shawn Kelley turned me on to your videos. I have watched a few and must tell you that you are on the money. Your videos are informative and for the most part spot on. Congratulations on your selection to the Major's list. You are a quite gifted young man. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I’m really learning a lot you explain everything to make it simple to understand and that is great , Thank you for your Service to the great USA , and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us , all the best to you sir😊
Great video. Love your approach and non-nonsense attitude. I would really love to see you do an urban survival scenario. For guys like me, for instance, that is likely the setting i would be in, if something went down.
Andrew, great vid, thank you for sharing your skills. There is so much fun to have outdoors if you just use a little imagination, common sense, and basic skills. Improvise, adapt, and overcome. Lead the way👍
Until I started watching your, Shawn, and Dave's channels I had never given too much thought about axe head style/design, despite growing up around them my entire life. Now I find myself seeing differences everywhere!
Damn brother you just keep making the coolest videos ever. I love learning new skills from an actual hero in uniform. Thank you so much for everything you teach all of us. And most of all I want to deeply tell you how much I appreciate your service in the military and serving everyone here in our beautiful country. God bless you sir. Thank you so much for everything you have done and everything you continue to do for all of your friends here on your channel.
I retired from the army. Now I’m taking some local survival classes. The last part phase 4 is 5 days knife only. I got time I just finished phase 2. But dam 5 days with only a knife and the clothes on your back. It’s going to be one hell of a challenge.
I think I would leave the hatchet at home and take a good WWII entrenching tool. I can think of a lot more uses for that and if I did break the handle it can easily be replaced. I can break the ice with a rock and do everything else with one sharp edge on the entrenching tool.
Watching the snow fall in ohio as I watch this video , once again another great video. Much of what you teach is refresher for me, but I still think its great that you bring so much info to people in such a clear concise real life format. Thank you so much for your time and effort, as well as helping to secure our country.
Always enjoy your videos. Great information for newcomers and great refresher or reinforcement from us more experienced. From a former Cav Scout vet from 35 yrs ago, thank you for serving and continuing everyone's knowledge base.
Hello 👋 Andrew, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this valuable information. I may be using these tips in two weeks In Eldorado County winter camp 🏕 out. All the best to you for your good health and safety. 🤗
Thank you for being real. Have watched several channels, and they all devolve into commercials - touting some lame monthly "survival" subscription deal that has over priced crap. Really appreciate an honest person. Thanks again.
Value of a good wool blanket…..CAN NOT BE EMPHASIZED ENOUGH! Great job!
When I married my wife, I had an LL Bean queen size wool trapper blanket. She washed it one day. Now I have really heavy, thick, single size wool trapper blanket. But, it is warm!
Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Very useful info thanks for sharing.
It's good to see another video Andrew, was starting to get a little worried bud. Stay safe n be well. As always looking forward to the next one, keep em coming...
I like your videos for survival because you go out and demonstrate what your talking about. Thanks again.
5 C's!
Thanks Ranger!

Glad to see another video. Very informative as usual. Thank you for your service to this great country. HOOAH Scouts Out.
If I could pick someone to accompany me when next I am in a wilderness survival situation it would be you, Andrew.

I was concerned that my current survival kit wouldn't be up to the challenge of winter, but you have reassured me. :) Thanks Andrew.
Excellent video. You clearly show and demonstrate the core basics and 5 C tools, then stop.Thank you.
Out of all the videos I watch on TH-cam I really enjoy yours the most, like I said keep em coming bud. 👍😉🤙
Loved it , Especially with everything going on in the world, It is necessary for people to know and practice basic survival skills.
Andrew! A great presentation on a minimal kit so you can winter time smooth it!
Been a fan of hammer poll small axes for a long time. A lot of utility in a small package.
Outstanding!
Great video. That looks like an old Coleman Peak 1 Billycan.... wish they still made them.
Great minimalist kit. I add the edc multi tool as well.
And also. Hand made Native or Mexican throw blankets cannot be beat! Wool blankets are the only thing comparable! Just IMO. 😉👍
What about a serape?
You just know if you ask the major where he's Been, he's gonna reply..
"that's classified"
😎👍
Good to see your videos...good job...freedom for all people...
Good Video, good minimal kit. Plenty of Locust and Hedge Apple trees here in Southern Illinois. Hard to handle, but good for fence posts and burns hot.
I probably won't ever use this info, but I just love watching your videos! Thank you.

As usual, a quality video. Thanks Andrew.

I'm going back in your video list and this one, as usual, is a great, to the point, down and dirty instruction video!
Less is more! The more I train in the Sangre De Cristos, the more I'm becoming a believer in minimalists kits. The more you know...Thanks for detail on the frame. Very helpful.
I have been looking all over the internet for that simple frame pack..too
Love that axe! Just what every bushcrafter needs. Thanks Andrew. I'll be watching more.SALUTE!
Excellent video. Always like watching your videos
Awesome video as always, my Sundays aren't complete without you and Cpl.Kelly!
Great video, going out tonight, in the swamp low 35 in town so it will be at least 25 to 27 out there
Andrew thanks for keeping your videos professional and "Family friendly" I love sharing your content, I am very glad that I don't have to explain to my Royal Rangers ( a church cub scout group ) and my
5 yr. old granddaughter what the abbreviation easy "AF" stands for.. seriously cool..
😄
I love minimal kits, it’s easier on the brain.
Another great one! Straight up, right to the point, love it. Always something to learn. Thanks Andrew, respect and appreciation.

Cowabunga Major! Will try minimalist kit on the weekend. Thank you for the survival class. Stay safe mate. Greetings from Australia.
Great video. Love your approach and non-nonsense attitude. I would really love to see you do an urban survival scenario. For guys like me, for instance, that is likely the setting i would be in, if something went down.
Great video; very informative and useful for all outdoorsmen including women
Awesome! Thank you for all you do, Andrew!
Great video Andrew thanks for sharing and great ideas!! 👍

Great Video. Back to the basics. Well done.
Thanks Andrew for another great video..! I look forward to watching you demonstrate your bush crafting expertise..
Until I started watching your, Shawn, and Dave's channels I had never given too much thought about axe head style/design, despite growing up around them my entire life. Now I find myself seeing differences everywhere!
Great vid! Great kit. I’ll have to add a carpenter axe to my kit soon. Thx.🇺🇸👍

Great video, solid information. For me this would be early Fall. Winter here is much more severe. -20 F windchill, tons of snow.
Always enjoy your videos. Great information for newcomers and great refresher or reinforcement from us more experienced. From a former Cav Scout vet from 35 yrs ago, thank you for serving and continuing everyone's knowledge base.
Solid as always. Have a great evening
Glad to see you back Major. Another excellent production...as usual !
