Andrew, I love corporals corner. But one of Shawn Kelly's best videos was when he plugged you and your show. Between the two of you, people can get ready to survive in the woods under adverse conditions ... And on a tight budget. My thanks go out to you both. God bless you and yours.
I missed your video last Sunday… Knew you had to be sick… said a little prayer for you… Another great thought provoking video… always appreciate your creative survival tips… As I’ve said before… you have the gift of teaching… who knows how many lives will be saved/changed from your persevering efforts… We are living in troubled times May God bless you, major , and your viewers…🙏🏻🥰
Andrew, this vlog is completely on another level to any other out there. This truly hit the ball out of the park. You should be 500k to a million subs on this one.
I keep a package of the gag birthday candles in my EDC fire tin. The ones that you can’t blow out. They resist wind better than a regular candle, don’t take up much space and if the woods are wet, they burn long enough to help get that initial fire established. That trick with the plastic tent stakes is a new one. Brilliant! Lotta good stuff here. 👍👏
Great tips, but Never again will I use tape directly on anything for the field. Ever try to sew with tape residue on a sail needle, It SUCKS. My needle rests inside a melted ends plastic straw now. I would do the same for the small feral rod and cut the razor blade straw length wise and then insert the edge into the straw then tape around it. The tape residue on the top that you hold may help holding it while you use the sharp edge to cut ( without reside ) on the sharp edge. Yet all great ideas on this vid. Love the uses of all the items.
I am not in the military, plan to be in it but I am underage. But with that said I am a boy scout and was looking for some tips in the outdoors to add to my "library" of knowledge. I love your videos and hope to continue watching.
So good to see you back and recovered, Andrew! Great video. Great content: useful, effective and simple. Congratulations and forward with the channel. We wait for the next one. 👍😉
Absolutely one of the best survival skills contents that goes well in both civilian and military settings as viewed over 20K per week. I greatly appreciate your leaderships.
Andrew , I am a big fan of small rare earth magnet rods, for navigation so small they can be concealed anywhere and cheap. The north end can be painted with red paint. Also in the anti-theft tags found on products, there are small magnetic strips that can cut into an arrow, and be used as a compass needle, and put on a floating leaf or twig.
Great content. Excellent tutorial. I’m a common man always looking to learn, but will never forget where my common man roots came from. Great down and dirty explanations. Thank you.
Great ideas!! One thing with the chem lights don’t get broken glass on ya from inside the chem light 💡👍 great to see you back back to full health by the way.
Welcome back. I'm glad you're feeling better. Great class as always. None of those fire starting materials ever get tossed out in my house. I build another kit and stash it away. I enjoy learning new ways to use them. Thank you Andrew much respect.
So much good stuff. I use the plastics to get fires going in the yard all the time to burn refuse. People really forget that most plastic are petroleum based. It'll get your fire going real hot for a short period of the. This really helps if u need to dry out some wood when first getting a fire going if that's all that's available.
Welcome back Andrew. One knows when they have a serious addiction to survival techniques when; all extra time and money goes towards that, and they turn down watching a romcom with friends because they’re waiting on a new video. But it’s a good addiction. 💕🇨🇦 Thanks
Man!!!!!! Lol I keep saying this!!!!! There certainly isn't that many channels right now putting out content like you are....where i legitimately feel like after watching it i should have paid for it or i owe something for watching it!!! Lol you have a PHENOMENAL way of getting your point across in a manner where it actually sticks in my brain all while keeping us engaged the entire time!!!!!God bless you 🙏
In doing some research I found that really good candles have an additive, so I went looking for stearine candles which burn a long time are dripless...and found them at church supply stores! Plus they had many different sizes! We have a local store but I haven't been able to hit it up yet. That trick lighting the candle with the ferro rod...I watched that part twice, like a magic trick. But overall that seems like a lot of gear to hide in the ol' prison purse! LOL
Would you consider doing a video about general evacuation for people living/working with family near conflict zones? I know that is a huge topic to cover, but it seems important given current events. Lots of people assume blankets, containers, and hygiene supplies will be instantly available when they arrive at a refugee center, but those supplies can take days to arrive. Blankets, pillows, and extra socks are rare in the first days and even weeks of an evacuation. There doesn’t seem to be any videos that cover realistic preparations for possible evacuation. Most of the content on TH-cam seems to be small scale personal survival bugout kits. A good video might include what to expect when arriving at a FEMA center or refugee center. Documents, processing, sleeping situations. Certainly you would have more knowledge of this stuff than most of us. Thanks for all the great videos you already provide. This is a superb channel.
Great to see you back on trail Andrew! Outstanding tutorial on a homemade SERE fire kit, great ideas! The military magnesium block fire starter has always been an excellent self contained fire tool that isn’t utilized to its full potential by some… I remember watching across a few seasons of a TV show, we will call it “ Nude and Scared”… a lot of the self proclaimed experts brought the magnesium block with to start fires. The vast majority of them just utilized it as a ferro rod leaving the magnesium untouched, and often not getting a fire started either. Perhaps a case of overselling ones skills for a shot on tv, lol… Ahhh Chem Lights…never leave a bunch of Privates alone in the barracks when the power is out up on the DMZ…. Chem Light nunchuck fights will bound to happen. I like the buzz saw signaling technique for night time, very simple and effective. Fabric maps have always fascinated me, since seeing Silk SERE maps for pilots… lots of possibilities. Great presentation again Andrew!!! Keep up the Fire!
I am a woman of 70 years old originally from the middle east. Living in Istanbul Turkey. I am very interested in your videos.and hope to use that info . But first of all I shall keep them in a notes. Thank god that you recover. God bless you. I love camping.
When I discovered the lighting a candle with a ferro rod about a year ago, just blew me away (especially when it proved to be repeatable). Along these lines, the use of a piece of metal tubing, stuffed with a piece of jute, in conjunction with a ferro rod, also works very well (better in fact). The cool thing is, the dried cambium layer from Cottonwoods, etcetera works just as well.👍
Making the best out of cheap camping gear and being innovative with it is all part of the "Adapt- Improvise" mentality. Great to get the kids started with and to show them that you can make use out of some of that cheaper gear which will stay with them as they grow up. great video! Thanks for sharing!
I hit the thrift stores in my town every Tuesday of the week and grab pretty much anything that I can add to my camping/shtf collection. It really builds up without breaking the bank. Plus there is stuff there that is easily repurposed. I find killer tools, a cot, lamps,tents,sleeping bag, and many other items.
Brilliant! And you look like a couple million bucks. Good to see you in good health. I see its the little nuances that can make a huge difference. Appreciate the schooling! Thank you for your current service!
Andrew - haven't seen you post in awhile. If your unit got moved out to Europe due to the Russia/Ukraine war, I wish you guys the best. Thanks for your service.
Glad your healthy again, excellent stuff. We can't hardly find any of that stuff right now, unfortunately. How about a video similar to stuff maybe laying around the house for similar items. You always show me at least one thing I didn't know about. Keep it going.
Omg I'm going to watch this pyromaniac again. I absolutely loved this video. This is a watch more than once video. Pathfinders have the best instructors this guy is top shelf.
You never cease to amaze me with your many varieties of uses of materials to survive with. Thanks again for your knowledge and time . Charlie Wright Salem Oregon.👍
Awesome video, most people keep repeating the same old techniques but this fresh and a lot I’ve never seen. But as kids we discovered cutting open lightsticks years ago we where influenced by Predator 😂
Enjoyed the new ideas. The tips for candles were especially useful. The use of the space blanket and debris bed was also fun to see. Another great video.
Hi Andrew. Great to see you're looking well. Pls consider doing more projects on improvisations n even cheap weaponry or even field emergency medicine. Globe's starting to really go volatile and not everyone can afford great gear (as you've mentioned). Many tnx n stay safe...🙏
Corporal sent me and I am so glad he did. I am learning so much from him and you. I am starting to practice a lot of your ideas to get use to them so I am prepared for emergency situations Instead of trying then in the emergency situation where stress levels could already be high.
I appreciate the military wisdom you provide in your Bushcraft teachings. We can all learn new techniques and you provide practical application in all your videos. Keep it up! Thanks.
Thanks a lot pal! I destroyed two of my headlamps perfecting my skills as a ranger/survivalist/weekend warrior wannabe!! NOW you tell us how to do in a way that doesn't destroy our SH1T!??? That new technique is slicker than snot on a door knob! I'm adding #0000 steel wool to my kit!! Finally, the SERE concealed ferro rod, cotton tinder, and ceramic striker idea is ingenious. I was was able to walk through airport security without incident.......that kit did wonders for my hemorrhoids.....
Dang, lighting a candle with a ferro rod. You've been super busy while I've had extensive wrist surgery but this is a perfect way to spend part of my recovery, take notes (every adventure and plan tweaks to my kits)
Another great, practical, video. I put my concealed ferro inside the shell of a short piece of paracord. I used orange paracord, in case I drop the ferro. A paracord extender I carry in my match safe is a sail needle, with an eye big enough for inner strands of paracord.
You are so great Andrew I learned so much from you and I'm glad that he are there to help me because where I am your survival skills are keeping me alive and I thank you
Andrew, if you drilled a narrow hole down the centre of the plastic tent stake you could slide your straw that's got the firelighter in it down into the hole. It would be hidden...
I often have been to trade shows & collected so many freebies I have used to make free support kits. A few fishing lure chem lights have come handy in these kits.
Love your channel! Like the different kits you make but one suggestion and that is lots more how to videos like this one. Knowledge weighs nothing and when paired with a good kit is unbeatable. Keep up the good work and glad to see you well. Also a fan of corporals corner. 2 great sites .
This video gave me an education I won't get just anywhere. Very good video. An idea popped in my head. That poncho could be converted into an improvised ghillie suit. Utilizing fabric glue and those brown leaves. The mylar blanket can line the insides if you want to lower infrared signatures too. I would not totally rely on it for total infrared invisibility though. And it probably would be hot as hell too.
Andrew, I love corporals corner. But one of Shawn Kelly's best videos was when he plugged you and your show. Between the two of you, people can get ready to survive in the woods under adverse conditions ... And on a tight budget. My thanks go out to you both. God bless you and yours.
Agreed that's how I heard of him as well! Big fan now thanks to Kelly
I agree!
What video was that of corporals?
@@Sharp.Penguin00 I don't remember which one .. I've watched so many. But between Shawn and Andrew, we can get ready for what's coming. God bless.
@@williamkeck7378 yep....throw in a few pew pew shows and it helps to get some skills....and into the mindset.
Never seen a candle lit that way. At 50 I still learn new tricks regularly from your channel. Excellent content sir.
My cousin taught me some military survival techniques last summer. He's been in the Army for about 2 and a half years now
I missed your video last Sunday…
Knew you had to be sick… said a little prayer for you…
Another great thought provoking video… always appreciate your creative survival tips…
As I’ve said before… you have the gift of teaching… who knows how many lives will be saved/changed from your persevering efforts…
We are living in troubled times
May God bless you, major , and your viewers…🙏🏻🥰
Glad you are feeling better

WOW 😳
Andrew is the man. There is no one better. Every video is original. There is no boring redundancy with this man. Great job.
Welcome back Major ! Another unique and educational video !
Great content. Excellent tutorial. I’m a common man always looking to learn, but will never forget where my common man roots came from. Great down and dirty explanations. Thank you.
The best non-repetitive information video on the topic yet.!. Thank you for your service and your videos. Amazing knowledge
Brother ,once again you knocked it out of the park! Thinking outside the box ,IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF BEING ABLE TO AFFECT SURVIVAL!
AWESOME!
Great ideas!! One thing with the chem lights don’t get broken glass on ya from inside the chem light 💡👍 great to see you back back to full health by the way.

Great stuff! Glad that you are recovering.
Glad you came up with another way to use the head lamp without destroying it. Thanks, good video.
Welcome back Andrew.
One knows when they have a serious addiction to survival techniques when; all extra time and money goes towards that, and they turn down watching a romcom with friends because they’re waiting on a new video. But it’s a good addiction. 💕🇨🇦 Thanks
Good To See You. A great and practical movie as always, Mr. Andru. Yours sincerely and I wish you a lot of health. 🙂👍🌲
Great to see you made it back
Well thanks for another outstanding video.
Always forward sir!
This video is the very definition of practicality,great to see you back Andrew!

Great presentation again Andrew!!! Keep up the Fire!
Anyone still print custom silk maps today? For civies?
Wow … so many great tips! I didn’t know a plastic tent stake could burn so well as a flame extender.
Good stuff Andrew and good to see you are back at it. Stay healthy.
I LOVE your CAMO Andrew, After watching this video I am definitely going to get more candles..
These are great survival hacks, really enjoyed this video, thanks Andrew.
I am a woman of 70 years old originally from the middle east. Living in Istanbul Turkey.

I love camping.
Great video as always. I wait every Sunday to watch yours and corporal corner videos. Thank you for your service sir.
Nice demonstration. Thanks for sharing

Lessons learned here will help me teach my grandchildren about how to be safe in nature.
Downloading all your old videos for the apocalypse.
Really good information.Keep the videos coming,you're doing a fine job.
Brilliant! And you look like a couple million bucks. Good to see you in good health. I see its the little nuances that can make a huge difference. Appreciate the schooling! Thank you for your current service!
Love the improvisations of various other gear. Makes everything more useful. Thanks.

YOU will survive! Respect Major.
Excellent info to take to the woods or keep in mind when building a kit. Thanks
Awesome video, most people keep repeating the same old techniques but this fresh and a lot I’ve never seen. But as kids we discovered cutting open lightsticks years ago we where influenced by Predator 😂
"Get to the choppa!".
If it bleeds we can kill it 🤣
Enjoyed the new ideas. The tips for candles were especially useful. The use of the space blanket and debris bed was also fun to see. Another great video.
That was great! Some were old favorites and some were new eye openers! Thanks Andrew.
Always good to see your videos. Glad you are well. Learn some new stuff and review some old stuff. Great to have you school us.
Hi Andrew. Great to see you're looking well.
Pls consider doing more projects on improvisations n even cheap weaponry or even field emergency medicine. Globe's starting to really go volatile and not everyone can afford great gear (as you've mentioned). Many tnx n stay safe...🙏
Yes that could be great
He already has. Go to his channel and peruse his other, older videos
Awesome tips n tricks , thanks Andrew
The bow saw from the wire saw that is normally discarded as junk is a legendary
Corporal sent me and I am so glad he did. I am learning so much from him and you. I am starting to practice a lot of your ideas to get use to them so I am prepared for emergency situations Instead of trying then in the emergency situation where stress levels could already be high.
Good sere info as usual Col.
Outstanding! Glad you're feeling better, missed you last week. Thanks for the tips, I learn something new every time 🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏
I appreciate the military wisdom you provide in your Bushcraft teachings. We can all learn new techniques and you provide practical application in all your videos. Keep it up! Thanks.

Glad for your recovery! As I've said before, you keep upping your game, atleast mine brother! This was extraordinary!
Dang, lighting a candle with a ferro rod. You've been super busy while I've had extensive wrist surgery but this is a perfect way to spend part of my recovery, take notes (every adventure and plan tweaks to my kits)
Saw something’s I’ve never seen before. Never knew you could start a candle with ferro rod. Will need to try that next time I go out camping.
Always something new learned in your videos, thank you Andrew!
Another great, practical, video. I put my concealed ferro inside the shell of a short piece of paracord. I used orange paracord, in case I drop the ferro. A paracord extender I carry in my match safe is a sail needle, with an eye big enough for inner strands of paracord.
Thanks for the SERE tips.
Hey, great to have you back. Enjoyed this video, great ideas to use. Liked the magnesium bar ideas. 🇹🇹
Glad to see you're back continue to lead the way
Good to have you back, Andrew !
Fantastic tutorial video major.
Superb demonstration of your improvisational skills for us to learn .
MASSIVE APPRECIATION from England.😎👍
You are so great Andrew I learned so much from you and I'm glad that he are there to help me because where I am your survival skills are keeping me alive and I thank you
Hey mate, stay safe with all that is going on.
Its nice to have you back sir andrew..godbless
Andrew, if you drilled a narrow hole down the centre of the plastic tent stake you could slide your straw that's got the firelighter in it down into the hole. It would be hidden...
It wouldn't be a video of yours without a signalling mirror. Glad your feeling better, rock on.
Do you in 2022.
Outstanding.
=)
Andrew, delighted to see you back and none the worse for wear.
Great video. Learned a lot! Looking forward to your next video tutorial.
HooAh!
Another homerun, Andrew. A ton of useful information and tips. Thank you.
I often have been to trade shows & collected so many freebies I have used to make free support kits. A few fishing lure chem lights have come handy in these kits.
Glad to see you’ve recovered.
Glad to hear you’re feeling better. Thank you for sharing this.
Good to see you recovered mate and back into showing new skills 😁
Great video...nice to see you back up and running again..great tips...thanks friend...Freedom for all people...

Good to see your recovery from the new flu.
Great tips and tricks.

This video gave me an education I won't get just anywhere. Very good video.
An idea popped in my head. That poncho could be converted into an improvised ghillie suit. Utilizing fabric glue and those brown leaves.
The mylar blanket can line the insides if you want to lower infrared signatures too. I would not totally rely on it for total infrared invisibility though. And it probably would be hot as hell too.
Andrew, so glad your back on your feet, was concerned. Another great vid packed with amazing info. Great job 👍🌟😁
Good stuff...I never thought of lighting a candle with a rod. Nice ;- )
Hello.
It is always an interesting pleasure to watch your work. Hang on!
Greetings from Germany
