Brilliant indeed! I would like to have more of these emergency medical techniques as learned skills in place especially nowadays because of the uncertainty of things...not knowing when or even if an emergency medical team will be available...shortages of staff both in hospital and paramedics means we are the first responder so best to get these skills for ourselves and our loved ones...we need more of these videos...excellent job Andrew!
@@mnight207 The Gray Bearded Green Beret, who had extensive medical training, taught a different version of the external suture method. Worth looking at. I was in the Air Force and had several jobs in the medical field- Med/Surgical Ward 4 years, Emergency Department 8 years, Flight Surgeon's for 4 years which led to my training for a Medical Aircrew job aboard the C-9A Nightingale for 8 years. Accrued 3,000 flying hours performing missions all over the planet, was trained in surgical methods by the Chief Surgeon at Bergstrom AFB and participated in hundreds of operations. After retirement I went back to college to get an advanced degree which enabled me to teach advanced surgical procedures, pathophysiology and cardiology at the collegiate level mostly to nurses and medical personnel getting them certified to work in Emergency Departments. I did that for 12 years. I'm retired now.
Your video appeared in my feed today. It’s been 46 years since I operated. I so wish we’d have received some of this training in the 70’s. For most of us, it was being dropped off and picked up a few days later. “Good luck out there.” Other than ambush, concealment, observation, evasion and reporting were important but nothin g much else beside that.
I watch alot of bushcraft channels, this channel is by far my favorite. I dont know exactly what it is but Andrew seems to be able to teach his crafts in a way that makes it all "too easy" I have actually tried alot of his techniques and they do work. I have seen so many of his videos that every time I try one and am successful I always say "too easy" when I get done. thanks for this channel Andrew I have learned alot and I do put it into action
Mors Kochanski's channel "Karamat Wilderness Ways" is also top notch, but unfortunately Mors died in 2019, so the only new content is from his students. There's still a lot videos by Mors though and his students are legends as well.
Learned couple new things here. 1. Alcohol gel or sanitizer + salt.. become alcohol fuel. 2. External sutures... haven't seen that one before Good job n thanks
I'm proud to say that I did learn something today and that was the suture method you showed and how to extract fuel from hand sanitizer that I did not know and I'm proud to know it now. Thank you so much for the video I hope other people learn the methods that you showed as I believe we're going to need all of this in the near future. Thanks again for the video. Keep ye powder dry
Yes and you don't see as much of that on other bushcraft/survival channels. I think the belt saw is safer than an axe, as well as being lighter and lower profile, so I understand his preference for it. Not as fast to deploy, but with the cravat it can be used immediately to construct the bucksaw frame if needed.
🤣 "man strength" ...BAAHAAA HAAHA HA! I almost fell outta my chair laughing. You crack me up! Keep ON keepin on brother. 🏴☠ ...64 years old and never thought of the 'ol stuffed duct tape thing... kudos!
I married a nurse, and we have suture kits in stock. That said, the improvised tape suture is the bomb! We appreciate that one! We also use parts from our gasifier twig stove to mix & match with spirit burners, solid fuel cubes, and gel alcohol.
Hi Andrew 😊 great video, tips on here I haven't seen before, making liquid fuel, and the suture strips , brilliant idea, I also like the way you made the duck tape sachet to hold small,items. Many thanks for your time and efforts, stay safe Major, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
I always appreciate the new, thoughtful tips and tricks you bring to your videos that nobody else is doing. I didn't know about the alcohol from hand sanitizer trick, and the external suture method is new to me as well. Thanks a bunch!
This is outstanding most people that produce survivor videos put the emphasis on gear. But skills are the most important. People may find themselves without gear but you can survive with knowledge and skills. Thanks for a great video.
I agree with eyes wide open, in that your teaching is one that is easy to follow along with. In my experience, it’s always been the most professional of instructors that were the most knowledgeable. Cheers to ya major.
your videos are getting better. ive been doing this shit for years and while i enjoy watching these kinds of videos, they are usually things i know or slight variations thereof. (nothing wrong with that, i still enjoy them) but this video had several things that were new to me. awesome af. (i actually thin i might have seen that "paul method " thing before, but didnt grasp the concept. it was very easy for me to understand as explained here)
I have watched many survival channels. You and Corporal's Corner are just top tier. The amount of "New" things I've seen on your channel that I haven't seen elsewhere just astonishes me. You're not somebody just copy/pasting what others have done. You have definitely given us the edge on knowledge.
Thanks Andrew, I always learn a bunch watching your videos. I like how easy, applicable and common elements for survival are best used; much of which seems high speed low drag.
Awsome hacks every time we get to learn something new from your videos sir And that's why we want your videos everyday Thanks for sharing valuable knowledge 🇮🇳🙏🕉🙏🇮🇳
One Mors Kohanski idea I liked was the leaf litter bag made from rip-stop material worn as a scarf around the neck. If this is too difficult to make why not a sleeping bag liner?Probably a lot warmer too.
4:24 could lead to the improvised suture for lacerations. We all do it, especially with minds preoccupied with land nav and mutant enemy trying to kill us, I remind myself to always cut away from a body part. Always. Thanks again Major!
The suture method is actually really clever if you think about it, since some people don't have the guts to actually stitch the wound by themselves and mess up in the process. Thanks Andrew
Your repertoire of field craft/survival methods is beyond impressive. I learn something new each week.. Great format. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Bravo
I like the suture concept. I've used tape to pull wounds together before but never thought of "sewing" them like this. I enjoy your videos, they are much appreciated. Thanks.
Really enjoy watching survival/bushcraft channels. Learning alot from them. Have you ever thought of using a waterproof match safe with crushed match heads in there too help boost a spark when using a fresno/magnifying glas? On my hiking boots there is a little tonque where i hang 5ft of 550 cord in a ball for odd work. Thank you for the great channel.
Mon ami Pierre, watch out for the explosive value of packed crushed match heads. Like gunpowder. Made my first zip gun as a kid with a bike spoke. Only made that mistake once.
One of your best videos Andrew. Great information! I got a chuckle from the log splitting section where we use our hands and our " man strength " to break open the log. I got hands but not man strength. I thought oh well, Im dead now! Lol I guess in us chicks case we'll use our hands, the crook of a tree and leverage lol.
Inspirational vid. One at a time combat lifesaver lessons great. Hooyah Gorilla Duct butterfly! So good when it works vs. sutures. One addition to level 2 or 3 is a little hydrogen peroxide for dissolving small infections. Thank U 4 sharing, skipper.
I have to say the alcohol trick and the sutures were novel, also. I have seen a variation of the Gorilla tape suture where two strips of tape slightly longer than the laceration were used by folding over the edges closest to the wound which were then sutured together with needle and thread. It would be a bad day if you ran out of duct tape. Guys, don't go breaking your BCGs. Go to Wally World and buy a cheap pair of reading glasses. Nothing worse than a guy who can't see to hit what he is aiming at. Good tips all, Major. Thank you. The compass and line info was interesting as well.
Im a new sub and this is why I seek out vet channels because bushcraft will teach you how to make a spoon out of "anything" but I'm more interested in staying "alive" .
Excellent video. I always learn something new on your channel. This week was no different, that suture tip is incredible. Where did you learn that? Thanks for putting these out here for us.🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲
I've been learning and, when I can practicing survival/bushcraft/country knowledge and skills, for at least 40 years. There are many good channels and styles, but this is is as concise, focused and consistently informative as information gets.
Another great episode! The first and last ones were new to me and I am now glad to have them as part of my knowledge base - Time to practice so that when I need it, it won't be the first time I'm doing it!
Sir, your dedication to our instruction just went to a whole new level! I can't believe you duct taped your leg hair to show proper application of dt sutures! 👏👏👏👏🇺🇲
I studied survival skills all my life and new material doesn't come along too often. Until now. I learned some new things. Great content , short and to the point!
Great stuff brother. The getting to dry wood by sawing half through and the hitting a tree was great. Along with everything else, awesome, GOD BLESS and Semper Fi
That was an incredibly useful group of emergency hacks that will come in very handy should the need arise. Thank you, Major for sharing your knowledge and experience with the rest of us! ATB Sam from Vietnam
Learned a lot, as usual, Andrew. appreciate the basic, simple skills you teach. Also, as someone who suffers from 4S, I appreciate the lack of noise when you were demonstrating drinking from a camp cup. 🙂
I actually got some good information from this video. practical and effective methods of information that can be used anywhere by anyone is as good as gold.. thanks for the good content I just became a subscriber to your channel.. I look forward to seeing more videos like this in the future.. hooah!!
Great instruction and video visuals brother, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I dig the mortar and pestle method of grinding match heads then utilizing the Ferrocerium rod 👍🏼
As an ex-military medic instructor I can appreciate the external suture method. Rather brilliant.
Yep. Less likely to introduce more foreign material into the wound. And we know Andrew always has his trusty cravat to put over that wound too.
Brilliant indeed! I would like to have more of these emergency medical techniques as learned skills in place especially nowadays because of the uncertainty of things...not knowing when or even if an emergency medical team will be available...shortages of staff both in hospital and paramedics means we are the first responder so best to get these skills for ourselves and our loved ones...we need more of these videos...excellent job Andrew!
Please sir, enlighten us of your medical experiences. I would love to know

Such a simple video but full of valuable information, and no bullshits.
Thank you sir!
Really cool, Major Andrew. Thank you, Sir!
Great hacks! Being a nurse I was blown away by the sutures hack. Outstanding! Thanks again Andrew.
agreed
Dame I love That Man. This is how real human look for me. Huge thanks for your knowlege o7 greetings from Poland 💪🇵🇱
I married a nurse, and we have suture kits in stock. That said, the improvised tape suture is the bomb! We appreciate that one! We also use parts from our gasifier twig stove to mix & match with spirit burners, solid fuel cubes, and gel alcohol.
I love to watch your videos. As an ex-military man myself I always take something away from them. Keep up the good work
Thank you sir! Another great video. A few more things to put in the toolbox!
Outstanding as always, thank you Andrew
A really informative video, especially the sutures.

That a great example why Rangers Lead The Way. Awesome video Sir.
The more you know,thank you for your service and for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate what you do.
The term BCG is still used?! Awesome!
Great vid, Andrew, as always. Thanks!
The Army gives them to you, they never promised fashion 🤣
I always appreciate the new, thoughtful tips and tricks you bring to your videos that nobody else is doing. I didn't know about the alcohol from hand sanitizer trick, and the external suture method is new to me as well. Thanks a bunch!
Very nice! Lots of practical information efficiently delivered. Your outdoor skills channel is the best.
This is outstanding most people that produce survivor videos put the emphasis on gear. But skills are the most important. People may find themselves without gear but you can survive with knowledge and skills. Thanks for a great video.
I haven't heard BCG's in a long time 🤣🤣
You got a great channel Andy !!

Best takeaway for me, using the insert for the solo stove over the burner! 💯
Thanks Andrew, I always learn a bunch watching your videos. I like how easy, applicable and common elements for survival are best used; much of which seems high speed low drag.
Good in field actually use of you kit and camp hacks.
Awsome hacks every time we get to learn something new from your videos sir

Fantastic video, Andrew. Very useful techniques that I take good note of. Thank you, as always, for your professionalism and dedication. 👍😉
Excellent video. The suture with tape is a great one. Saw a grey bearded vet use it on his channel. Good stuff. Have a great evening
The suture method is actually really clever if you think about it, since some people don't have the guts to actually stitch the wound by themselves and mess up in the process. Thanks Andrew
Excellent video. I have not seen the duct tape secures before.
Again an awesome, informative video with life saving lessons that everyone can follow and remember.
Good job my friend. Thank you so much.....
Andrew, great video and info as always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the bearing block idea with antlers!!!!
Dude I’ve watched tons of outdoor and survival channels and you are at or near the top. Well done!
Keep it Up ☺️ Captain
I think he's a Major now. Deserves to be IMHO, anyway.

Dude I actually used the hack where you use the rock to crush matches with a rock and use Ferro on the bottom of the match safe.
It really works well.

Remarkably densely packed with information. A lot of TH-camrs will make this into 10 videos!
That wound closer was just Awesome 👏
So simple yet very effective..
Thanks 👍👍👍🙏🏻
As always great idea's great instructions . One the best on the internet !!! Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our country !
That external suture kit was awesome, I hate needles, this is new technology. 👍🙏⚓️🇺🇲
BCG's...... Haven't heard that since boot camp.....LOVE IT.
Another great episode! The first and last ones were new to me and I am now glad to have them as part of my knowledge base - Time to practice so that when I need it, it won't be the first time I'm doing it!
Sir, your dedication to our instruction just went to a whole new level! I can't believe you duct taped your leg hair to show proper application of dt sutures! 👏👏👏👏🇺🇲
One of the best survival videos on the internet.
Sincere question: why crush matches instead of just using them normally?
That is if they are damp and won't light.
@@jasholden9741 Thanks!
I studied survival skills all my life and new material doesn't come along too often. Until now. I learned some new things. Great content , short and to the point!
Great idea with using the gaffa tape for storing small sharp items.
You can turn the top half of the bottle you cut upside down and screw it into the bottom half.
Awesome content, lots of information without a bunch of meaningless babble. Love it!
Well Andrew, you've done it again, OUTSTANDING !!!!!!
As always very useful skills delivered in a very direct and efficient manner.
Great job. I especially liked the suturing demo. Thank you.
I really appreciate your videos, looking forward to working with you.❤❤❤❤

The external suture was very impressive.
Thanks!!! Excellent ideas that I can implement!!
Outstanding you are becoming one of my favorites, thank you
Excellent video Andrew!
Didn't know about using part of an antler as a bearing block AND tape as expedient sutures!!
Learn something everyday!!
Outstanding Andrew! Thanks for sharing.
Great video Andrew. Good information and techniques. Thanks for the video and for sharing your thoughts and experience with us.
Thank you sir for all you have done and all you continue to do... thank you for sharing your knowledge... stay safe frosty and free brother
Outstanding.
It’s rare that I come across something I haven’t seen before. This video is an exception.
Thanks!

I'm so amazed by your channel Ranger!! I learn something new every time!!!
Love that duct tape suture, definitely have to practice that one 👍
Great instruction and video visuals brother, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I dig the mortar and pestle method of grinding match heads then utilizing the Ferrocerium rod 👍🏼
Outstanding my friend! Real world improvisations everyone should know. Kudos.
External sutures is pretty slick . Never seen that technique before. Excellent content as usual.
That is handy to know hand sanitizer and salt filtered to make fuel plus the tape sutures , cheers from down under 😁
