Just a trick for using those map markers. Take a black fine marker and write the “color” on each one. I write the color name on the pocket clip. You can also take a safety pin and “scratch” or “engrave” the abbreviation for the color as well. In this way… when you are under red light… you can still have the ability to identify each specific color. I also always insert the map pens into the case in the same order. R, OR, YLW, GRN, BLU, PRP, BRWN, BLK
@@jastrapper190, the correct listing of visible white light frequencies is Ultra violet , violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, infrared. No viable acronym or mnemonic can be made from that list. But reverse the order and the acronym of Roy G Biv becomes a mnemonic for remembering the spectrum.
Very helpful. This information and kit will surly help our young'uns to up their game. We have practiced some basics together inside our sprawling subdivision and at wild camp locations near our Philippine home. We do not want our gang to become confused with too much information too soon. Adding some new concepts, a little at a time, and allowing them to master each step has worked in the past. I like what you have put together. Thank you Andrew, your video is much appreciated.
Camo self adhesive bandage is super helpful for quickly camoing gear that you dont want sticky tape all over. It also comes in multiple colors so it can be switched out when going from one type of eniviroment to another. Plus it can be rolled back up & reused multiple times before it wears out.
I like your video, of course I am watching videos of other people too, learning and choosing what is good for me. Good advice with monocular, just now I've wrapped a sticky tape around the end of monocular so it got longer covering. Thank you !
Xlnt stuff to know,Light Infantry is just that,Stay Light! With the drone technology of today,staying hidden is even more challenging.Every little bit can be an advantage for an Xlnt outcome.Thank's Andrew for keeping us knowledgable & aware,Cheers!
I also reccomend , going to walmart , and buying a few 4x12 hunting blind material packs . Seriously , they fold up small , weigh next to nothing , and are super effective . I have seen people hide cars with these , for stealth camping .
18th ABN Corps Recondo School taught us to keep the compass as a front line on person piece of kit. lanyard through the pen pocket of a shirt pocket is how I've always kept it.
Recommend flat tape, vice high gloss as shown. And those pruning shears look huge for a single purpose tool. I’d replace them with a Leatherman tool - smaller profile, and multiple uses. Just my two cents.
It was more outlining mission use and purpose before showing the gear; that way you know what parameters the gear is used under so you don't say something like use a shiny, slippery handle Buck 119.
Think my first comment got auto deleted so I guess I’ll try again, Andrew should definitely check out Full Tang Tactical’s gear. They make what is in my opinion a far superior version of the admin pouch that you see him using in his vids. Another aspect of FTT’s stuff is that it’s all fully American made and sourced. If Andrew somehow ends up reading this I’d love to be able to patch him through to the owners if he has any interest.
@@CanadaFree-ce9jn you can wear rubber gloves when holding the BUCK 119 knife and you can color the BUCK 119 blade with Olive Drab (O.D.) or color it Black.
I enjoy these mission kits for times when you may need specific gear but not all the time. If you have a survival team, you could sign them out and in as needed. Yes even civies should have a gear signing book so you can track down missing gear that they forgot or were too lazy to return.
Andrew, I have a question. If I was to rotate my grid protractor so that the north/south line is lined up with the angle of declination and then draw a line on the protractor that covers the north/south line on the map (red maybe), then use that red line as a new north/south on the protractor. Wouldn't I have a constant and consistent angle of declination when plotting azimuths? As long as I was working with the same angle of declination I can use the same protractor. Cover the red line with clear tape maybe.
There is a way to gather atmosphere⚡electricity from the air and store it in a capacitor🔋then using a voltage / regulator to charge batteries for your flashlight, car battery, etc. There is a company that sells a extendable stainless steel two-way radio antenna. • Collapsed it is only 6' feet long. • Extended it is 25' feet in length. Copper wire can be wrapped around the full length of this antenna for maximum conductivity ⚡
saw a survival item in one of your old videos (Military Survival SAS from 3 years ago) and wondered if you can tell me where to find it? We want the waterproof wallet size cards with Morse Code. Already found the ground to air signal card.
the headlamp you have is useless since you have to cycle thru the white light portions before the red comes on. need one that can be set to red and left there so when you turn it on it comes on red
One clarification about red light. It appears from what i heard listening to guys fighting in ukraine and the little scientific research i done on the matter is that red light is practically no less visible than white light. The presumed "stealth" red light gives seems to be a myth while the real reason it's use during night operations is vital is that red light doesn't reset the way in which our eyes adapt to seeing in the dark like white (or any other color) light does.
I had one of the expensive models like that, and it had luminous markings plus the tritium inserts. Unfortunately it was a big pos and bound up on it's axis in the pitch dark and got me messed up. I've always been taught to "trust your compass" but that one kicked me in the nads. Went back to a reliable Silva and my old Marbles
@maxpinson5002 I have had the same experience with my cammenga tritium. I've had every piece break except the wire and I bought it directly from cammenga
@@sandsock Yes I would have said that it was a fluke, but my friend had basically the same experience with the same model same cammenga brand compass bought at a different place at a different time at a different part of the state. Luckily he had his compass failure during the daylight hours instead of the wee hours of nearly complete darkness like I did. It could have been a bigger problem under different circumstances, but at least it was not this time. Thanks for sharing
Sir, I am idly wondering if a GPS/range finder can be conveniently found that will automatically record and transmit a target location without confusing the original GPS location. Possibly secret, I imagine, anyway. Also, soldiers should probably follow orders to the letter when told not to bring a map along? T Y.
Sir, looking at security of communications, the old one-time pad system of encryption is possibly still the most secure. Just about any form of transmission can be intercepted somehow, so caution must be employed. Encryption of recon information can be just as important as the recon itself. Also, the smaller the recon unit, generally the less detectable. Scout sniper units of two soldiers may generally be the most successful number, with six being right at the upper limit. Beyond that seems being much more at risk of detection.
Good video. Nothing particular to you but the whole ‘navigation’ part of preparedness doesn’t click for me. As a prepared citizen, I wouldn’t plan on travelling far from home and family and if I did it would be within 30 mins of home. I also dont have air support or backup platoon capability, therefore it just seems like more weight and bulk having maps, gps and compass. I plan for eliminating threats to me and my family as well as homestead defence, don’t want to look for trouble but eliminate it when presented. Not disparaging anyone, just the way I see it. Anyone else have input for use of nav tools for prepared citizen?
Compass, map and GPS receiver are also used to determine distance to targets, their location and terrain around then, so you can predict their movement related to obstacles, avenues of approach, key terrain. You are vastly overestimating yourself if you think you can eliminate even a bunch of "predatory peppers". There are many other things that may require you to move - chemical leaks in industrial or other incidents for example. Mobility=survivability.
Everything should already be on your LBE. Do you really need pruning shears? A Swiss Army knife, multi tool or your combat knife should be able to handle that job. If I were doing recon I would want a better optic than that monocular. Military binoculars, or marine binoculars with either a distance mil scale, laser rangefinder and or a built in compass would be better, they can be used for both reconnaissance and navigation. I wouldn’t use a small map like that of less than 5x6 or 30 grid squares. It’s fine for a compass course but not an operation. Depending on how you were inserted, you may be a lot farther away from your objective. The vehicles or aircraft could give your presence away. So I would prefer t whole map sheet, if your GPS fails, and it may, you want to be able to egress the area and be able to find your way out. You also may need to extend your reconnaissance pass the small areas of those 30 grid squares. Maps are easy to destroy if needed. The lensatic compass is a great compass. I used it to navigate in Desert Storm. But I also had a backup wrist compass. Actually a couple. One was an issued wrist compass with a sighting window, the other was a simple wrist compass that I bought. I also used a small one attached to my watch. Orienteering compasses need to be good if you use them because the can leak oil and become useless.
You have covered ALOT of navigation on your channel of all different ways, Do troops get trained in all these methods now.

Been waiting for this video a while. Knew you had it in you to share Ranger - thanks. This old Marine had a lot right but more confident now.
The Major delivering the goods yet again, top level!
Thanks for the video Andrew 🙏🏻 reminded me at my service time some 25 years ago Doing the long range reconnaissance in the German Army ✌🏻🙋🏻♂️
Excellent advice/kit.

Hey brother, I feel like I am back in the SERE Admin and Education class. TY, from an older airborne recon combat vet!
Thanks for the great advice. I'm going to move on with my life for sure- LOL!
Love the backup map!

Great for hunting.

Good video Andrew, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !
Great video,i’am learning out door surviving skills.this is a big help thanks.
You can take a dry erase marker over the permanent marker and it will erase the permanent marker.
Write over the permanent marker with the same marker and rub it off
Thank you it is very helpful and a very nice day
Great video brother

The pouch featured is awesome, i got several last Xmas from aliexpress for about £1.50 each
"I usually pack a TACTICAL NUKE or too just in case, 'cause you never know.
Good thing with pruning shears is to trim the foliage in an OP / Hide posn from the inside, keeping a good screen to the enemy side.
Survival 🌎 preparación 🏕️🏞️🧭🏜️👍🏼💪🏼🧭
That loooong introduction w/o showing the kit was a psychological masterpiece itself. You must have been SOPs.
It was more outlining mission use and purpose before showing the gear; that way you know what parameters the gear is used under so you don't say something like use a shiny, slippery handle Buck 119.

I might camo up some pruning shears just because.
I just got a new coat, and I don't know about you guys, but the first thing I did when I got home is figure out what I'm going to load it up with lol
What scale map do you like to use?
The BUCK 119 heat-treated knife is a really good Survival, camping knife.
Not for this kit, too thin an edge, too shiny, too slippery a handle. Much better to get a coated ESEE or similar sturdy coated knife.
I do love my ESEE!
@@CanadaFree-ce9jn you can wear rubber gloves when holding the BUCK 119 knife and you can color the BUCK 119 blade with Olive Drab (O.D.) or color it Black.
@@CanadaFree-ce9jn you are wrong.
The ESEE knives are not good for Survival & Self-defense because they do not have a large handgaurd !
@@unitedstatesirie7431
Yes
The handguard on a 119
needs a trim and smooth it
out with a file
that pouch is like a tardis bigger inside
The monocular foreskin has me dying 😂
Hey Andrew! Could you please send us a link to that monocular? I'm a Park Ranger in NJ and have been looking for a good one. Thanks man!!!!!!
Vortex makes some decent ones with great glass.
I enjoy these mission kits for times when you may need specific gear but not all the time. If you have a survival team, you could sign them out and in as needed. Yes even civies should have a gear signing book so you can track down missing gear that they forgot or were too lazy to return.
Or they found useful for themselves 🤫
Great video, do you have a video about how to navigate with just a compass?
Down n Dirty is the Goat.!
What brand of monocular are you using?

Hi. What brand is the pouch, where purchased. Great video, very informative.
We use crayons - both as writing utensils and food. No offense but the 'purple' is kinda good actually. Carry on...
Me thinks yer gonna be outdone by the critters using the uber quiet stealth drone technology! 😝
Good looking wrist watch; what model is it?
👍👍
saw a survival item in one of your old videos (Military Survival SAS from 3 years ago) and wondered if you can tell me where to find it? We want the waterproof wallet size cards with Morse Code. Already found the ground to air signal card.
Laminate plastic sure is shiny, might want to do something about its reflectivity so Charlie doesn't see you.

it looks like Portuguese camouflage ?

That’s just the inner lining of the jacket he’s wearing. The loops are for attaching it to the outer jacket.
