Incredible that you began your career as an enlisted soldier! Your videos are so instructional and unique. Utmost respect for you and the all the men like you. Your videos are a vast reference guide! I've watched so many other channels but your channel is always home base.
I don't miss any of these videos 👍🇺🇸
This comment section is a goldmine.
What an amazing resource this channel is.
My $00.02 worth of advice: pre-tie your fishing line to the hooks. Your fine motor control may not be so fine when it comes time to do an intricate task.
I've never considered this. Excellent idea. I'll be doing this with my kits. Thanks!
Yes, that's what I learned too, along with carrying actual bait with you. I'll throw in my two pennies worth as well here and say...I take a drinking straw and fill it with Berkley's Crappie Nibbles, and melt both ends shut. There's really no sense or excuse for not having 10 to 15 of those little things in every fishing kit. The last thing I want to be doing is hunting for bait so I can fish.
Excellent idea...that then triggered me to also do it with some of my sewing kit🙏
The SAS also do a kit, with a military field jacket filling the pockets with everything you need for survival . The bonus is, that it can hung on clothes hooks or thrown in the back seat of a car. Just put it on and you are ready to go.
Are you talking about the kit carry smock, with about dozen pockets as sold on Amazon ?
I'd like to see that, too. I'm working on something broadly similar right now, using a twill fisherman's vest that I bought at Bass Pro Shops. (I've also heard of SAS vet Hugh McManners recommending a survival *necklace* built around a neck-carried knife.)
I have Hugh's book on survival and it's a very good resource for information, Brit style of course. I also have a compilation book on survival by Chris Mcnab, and in it he describes this belt kit concept. I like to see different ways of doing things.
@@skylongskylong1982Hi, I think that he is talking about a Para Smock issued to the Airborne troops. Cheers mate Harera
@@skylongskylong1982 or even just a winter parka with plenty of pockets, stitch in E&E items into the lining.
My Marines: "Doc, why do you carry two canteen cups?"
Me: "Balances me out."
Hi, as an ex 3 Para soldier from the sixties I am very familiar with the 58 pattern webbing and the bergen. I used the combination of those two until my demob in NZ in 1977. We used the same kit in all of our operating theatre’s but added an extra bottle in hot climates. The point we made is to keep the weight down as what we jumped with is what we carried. Mess tins are not necessary items, mugs do the job for brewing up, heating food and washing and shaving. I had to live on ration packs in our first 1961 tour in the Gulf and hated the Brit rations, think of tinned cheese that had gone liquid, Liver & bacon for a week as some idiot packet that for a weekly re supply drop! We made up our own E & E tins using tobacco tins. The most necessary item everyone forgets is soft toilet paper, round pebbles are no substitute for it in Oman jebels! Extras to be scrounged before a long patrols were :- tins of bully beef, oxo cubes, dried hers, curry powder, pre cooked rice, gee and tins of tobacco. Oh yea, a good shovel + steel file, an American poncho and a lightweight blanket. Yes, it gets cold at night and even rains in deserts! Oh the simple days of just Survival! Cheers mate Harera
Yes there is a lot inaccurate with this set up!
Thanks for sharing!
Nice setup! If you ask me, I'd probably add a metal spoon for eating, cooking, and stirring your beverage of choice.
Anyone else see the poncho and immediately smell it despite it being online?
They do have a distinctly memorable (make that unforgettable) smell.
Love the little chuckle when describing the pen flare wars with the “dumb privates” in Iraq.
Wonder who he is describing...lol Andrew, how do we get a pen flare set..
Trust me! It isn't just dumb Privates. Ever hear the expression, "Hey kid? Watch this sh*t!" from some of we older "supervisory" types? Where do you think many of these goofy ideas come from? Cheers from a mischievous, 26-year Veteran.
The USGI poncho and the 1qt
canteen/cup/stove/cover is
probably the best piece of
kit the military ever had that
didn't make loud noise.
Proven again and again
Not here, as an extra stove and 3 extra cups were added as bare essential
The Gortex that replaced a lot of the earlier issue was so loud when it crinkled, I wouldn't even wear mine.
Thanks for showing us everything. Some future ideas along the same lines (which have been echoed elsewhere here):
1) A modified version for civilian use, perhaps sized down to a belt/fanny pack as its basis.
2) Now that we've seen Stage 3 (the pack) and Stage 2 (the belt), maybe you can share your thoughts on Stage 1 of our emergency gear: what we keep in our POCKETS. Whether it's a vest, a shirt, or a field jacket, let's see what we can fit in there . . .
Im old and was recon in Vicenza late 80s-early 90s. We still wore H harness (issued Y harness, but we always scrounged until we had H harness and a butt pack). Compass always went around our neck, and we could live 72hrs out of what was on our belt and butt pack. It's just damned practical.
Those clear canteens are slick!
In 83 at Bragg I’d build a small fire by the crick and cook my C rat . Way better hot.
I never understood the reason to make the canteens opaque. Translucent or clear was far more practical.
@@Dang_Near_Fed_Up
Yep, but maybe in tactical operations Is better not to reveal Your position.
@@littlebritain64 You canteen is carried in a carrier along with a metal cup as well, the only time your canteen is visible is when you are drinking from it.
So how is it being clear, translucent, or opaque going to make any difference except to the soldier guessing if it is half, full, or empty?
Scottish breakfast tea and a shot of Glenlivet.
Yorkshire Tea for me: make it a Builder's.
Now we’re talkin’!
Irish coffee anyone!
The good old days.
@@johnjones3208 A good friend of mine with your name is in the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. Toughest guy I've ever met.
Those of us who went through F8 training in the 80s and early 90s were taught way different.
1-Right BDU cargo pocket was Canteen, Cup, triangle bandage.
2-Left BDU cargo pocket was poncho, matches, batteries.
LBE - Left strap- pressure dressing, compas, field knife/bayonet.
Right strap- survival kit, light, glow sticks
Web Belt- 2 canteen, 2 ammo pouch, gear pouches( poncho liner, 1 MRE, 550 chord, 100 mph tape, socks.)
Rest was in rucksack.
When I initially served with the British Army,, in the 1980's our belt kit layout was very similar, with SAS survival tins. Many of us used two cups instead of mess tins, due to the old 58 bottle and cup were plastic. So we use to carry the original 58 webbing metal cups to cook and poor the hot water into the plastic cup to drink and using the metal cups to eat out of. The Germans had another way of doing this, with a double metal cup system, that use to attach both ends of the water bottle. I still use my metal cup and old water bottle, and for a number of years, the US water bottle, cup and lid system.. Always interesting to see how things have developed, and I find this Ranger on You Tube extremely useful. Well done.
Hi, I was going to mention dropping the mess tins and using the metal cups on the water bottles as the mess tins were just additional weight. Cheers mate Harera
I was an 80s RCT driver. Had the same kit. We all bought camping stoves and somehow managed to cram into the kidney pouches with all the other stuff. I never liked the hexamine stove or plastic cup and bottle. Fortunately drivers had a truck to carry all the extra stuff. 😂
@@captainscarlet6758 Yes, I was never to keen on 58 webbing and some of its issues, like the bum rolls etc. Went on to get the drop SAS pouches of the day, which was more in keeping with the 95 design of pouches and what was similar to what was shown on the video. Ended up in the Really Large Coup myself in the late 90's after the amalgamation of transport and other supporting units. Served in Gulf 2 with them, before retiring. Fortunately I was the drive of the FFR, so was comfortable for most of the trip..
It's a young man's game now, as I'm definitely feeling the aches and pains. It all Feels like a lifetime ago.
@@captainscarlet6758 Yes, but our experiences can be passed down to the youngsters.. Who, as like us, thought they knew everything but, had to sit down with veterans to comprehend the stress and fatigue of war. Remaining capable is difficult, I still go shooting and try to continue trekking across the countryside. But in the end as our bodies fail, only our stories can span the expanse of time.
Excellent, the stainless steel Dutch mess kit was my first ever kit upgrade! So much nicer than our UK issue aluminium ones.
Sir, T Y for your dedication. Lofty Wiseman says in his manual IIRC basically that 2 quarts of water will get you through 24 hours of maneuver at 120 degrees F. In dry desert I would add at least 3 more quarts to that somehow. Belts alone have the tendency to drop around your ankles. Not just embarrassing. Good to be able to convert the belt instantly to a torso pack. Contents to add are Tylenol, cough drops, and disinfectant. T Y again!
If you have a ass as big as mind no worries bout belt sliding down😆
AD meds, too.
Antihistamine tablets were a must, an allergic reaction could be deadly.
Even just sneezing could give away your position.
But the last thing you want is to be swollen up like a balloon and unable to use your fingers due to an allergic reaction.
Considering what is happening globally, you should have a million subscribers. But then again, that's our advantage.
Omg! I was waiting for you to drop a video! THANKS ANDREW!!!!!
Fantastic, well thought out escape belt and easy to apply. Thank you Andrew!
Flares! Yes! You are the first person I've watched to recommend flares!
You are one superb survival instructor and a gifted presenter! Thank you, sir, for not wasting time, but just cutting to the chase! Absolutely no need to double speed your videos:)
I love how confident this dude is
12:30 Already a topic for a future video: How would you enhance the Escape Belt Survival Kit? Or how would you make one for civilian use?
I wouldn't mind throwing one of those civilian versions in the trunk, as an emergency kit for breakdowns or roadside assistance at accident scenes.
Nice job Ranger 👍🇺🇸
Webbing is better than both chest rigs and plate carriers. Man was designed to wear the weight around his waist line. You can still get Alice LBE for cheap.
A belt can beat an LBE web gear with butt pack vis a vis turning the belt into a torso (cross-body) pack.
@@peterbogart4531 suspenders are a must.
Yet another great, educational video. Thank you sir!
A caution and a tip for you to consider: tip - always use a harp (bow) with that POS wire saw. Those split rings are not actually for handles, but can be used as such. Caution - Otherwise its life expectancy is about 2 minutes, in part due to the extreme heat that is developed. There are superior types out there and I recommend swapping it out for a better one. Cheers from a survival specialist and 26-year Veteran up here in Alberta, Canada..
Do you know why they are called Commando wire saws? It is because they can also be use as a garrotte when escaping. If you are in a rush to escape you don't carry anything like a harp. Too large, bulky, etc. And the split ring can be replaced with other types of handle. Just speaking as a former Aus SF dude.
I’ve been wanting to put together a sufficient belt kit this information extremely helpful, thanks Andrew !
Love your videos! Direct, to the point, humorous enough to maintain viewer attention, and thorough. My Dad had a very similar instruction style- he would have enjoyed your vids as well. Keep it up!
Nicely done on showing off the belt setup..
🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
Your videos are always outstanding !! I always enjoy watching them !!!!!
Thank you for show us your survival kit!!!
😎👍🏻
Funny how I built a similar belt. Not quite as extensive, but with enough to get me home if I had to ditch my bug out bag. Only one canteen; no water making kit, a smaller compass, only 2 30rd AR mags and 2 17rd pistol mags, a bigger med kit, 25ft in paracord, fire kit, knife and 4 mylar blankets; no poncho or tarp. Much lighter, but I had it paired with my chest rig, which carried more mags and other necessities. This was about 10 years ago, living in San Francisco. In case of a serious natural disaster or SHTF, I planned to drive/walk to my siblings house; the city would get crazy and I want no part of that nightmare.
Time to update that belt; now that I live the free state of AZ.
Congratz on getting out of Commifornia alive.
You were going to walk through the city with your AR and all that ammo?
We’re you living in the Tenderloin?
If you were still living there, so many people strung out on drugs that they couldn’t put up a fight. They’d sleep through an earthquake.
It’s bad. Glad I got out 7 years ago.
Strangely, I learned this from my Woodbadge training as a Scout Leader: if you carry a map (the good quality USGS type or similer quality) soak them in some good quality deck preservative and lay them out to dry conpletely, they will be both water and mosture proof and in extremis, can be used either for a waterproof cover or a fire starter. Note pads can be done the same way and are cheaper than the ones bought on line from gear suppliers.
Great instruction and fun to boot. Thanks for a great video as always sir.
Great belt. Always great info. Thanks!
Great kit! Always get more ideas from your videos.
if you brew tea more than 20 minutes with constant but low heat it can actualy help with diaherra
T Y
I did not know that. Good note
One of the most innovative videos posted on this channel! 👍
Another great video. Thanks Andrew. " Semper Fi!"
Thank you!
Amazing ! Thanks so much for sharing !
Thanks for the video.
Awesome! Thanks, Andrew!!
Thank you. Sir!,,
I always get some thing from these presentation.
Wonderful info, glad to see the comments on Level 1,2, & 3.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing the info. You've got one of the best channels on youtube!
Always love your videos. Thank you!
I agree what he said when it comes to tea and the thirst factor
Another down & dirty.! Great addition to our outback survival bag. Cheers Major from Australia.
Awesome as usual andrew
Hi Andrew. Thank you so much, once again, for a real on the ball presentation. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Wow, what a unique and interesting kit! Very practical, it's something I think lots of folks would actually carry due to the belt pack format.
Hello 👋 Andrew, thank you for sharing another informative video. You always do a great 👍 job. Stay safe and healthy out there. 😊
Great video, I like the belt kit idea, very cool
a Batman utility belt IRL.
Sir, being old school and long in the tooth. It is very nice to see that these old school methods are still used. I carry a survival belt in my car along with a small backpack. I prefer the survival belt to a get home backpack.
Thank you, Ranger, for showing this survival belt.
The only other equipment I carried with me is a small pair of binoculars. But it was a personal preference.
Rangers Lead the Way.
SAS, we do the batshit crazy stuff as in Who Dares Wins.
Ranger, keep your head on a swivel. Keep your powder dry and watch your six.
You inspired me to dig out my small survival kit from 45 years ago. I had it in a training skin decontaminating kit container. Had the list of contents written on some card stock on the inside of the lid. I should update it because many things have been downsized since then. My small glass signal mirror has started to delaminate and getting black around the edges. Center is still clear and usable but a metal one is much thinner. Fire starters are much smaller now. I had a collapsible broadhead arrowhead in mine. Did you have waxed dental floss in your's? I think I used to carry the kit in an extra ammo pouch. My big survival kit had a penguin flare as well so that was fun to see. I also had a small fishing kit taped to my K-Bar sheath.
Hi Andrew, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos.
I like the concept. Thx Col.
Ya'll are awesome!!!!! I'm learning so much. Hopefully soon I'll be able to come to the Pathfinder School and be able learn first hand.
Solid load out . Those mini flares are very cool.
Hello 👋 Andrew, thank you for
sharing this informative video. Great job. Stay safe out there.
Andrew, great video and info!!!!!!!
Thanks Andrew
Great video Andrew!
What a great concept, great belt !
Thanks Andrew ! TAKE CARE..
Great video with good info.
There are a few items I would change for me. But overall a good basic kit set.
Great video Sir, thank you for sharing your content, and experience with us.❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
As usual great info. and well done video.
Great video sir!! As always very informative.
This was a great video. I just shared it with my brother and friends.
Great kit. You've given me a couple ideas to improve on mine. As for the pocket kit, I'm a firm believer in carrying a few water purification tabs in case you find yourself in a situation where making a fire is either not possible or not advised.
Outstanding AF. Looks almost like mine
Thank you for another great informative video. Enjoyed every bit of it learned a little bit more, which is always good. I will improve my belt today.😊
great info, glad I subscribed🇺🇸
Thanks for the sub!
outstanding as always
The knife you're looking for, is the TRC Mille Cuori! Nothing comes close, to a soldiers knife in my book. It sharpens easily to a scalpel a scary sharp edge (sharper than Moras) yet it holds it's edge forever and it's tougher. Best materials perfectly executed. Sheath is high end Kydex, way better than any Kudex I ever had.
A top level survival knife. Maybe you want to carry a Fairborn-Sykes commando blade as well. Worth considering.
I hate Spellchecks.
@@peterbogart4531 That's a dagger meant for killing, I talk about utility,general use knife.Completely different tools.
Maybe dreaming of, but not looking for. ( :
@@peterbogart4531 Fairbairn-Sykes are basically useless for survival, it was designed for killing, initially through a soviet greatcoat, (thick wool) which was the test. Even the V-42 was very rarely used for its original purpose. they used them for opening packets and cans.
It might be of interest that the original Commando instructors actually had a wilkinson-sword small to medium bowie style blade which was far more useful as a field knife. My great uncle was RM Commando in ww2 including D-Day and he had the bowie hunting knife and also the FS, the latter never being used all his field tasks were done with the issue folding pocket knife or the hunting blade.
Killing with an FS is not as simple as it seems in the movies either but i will not elaborate on that.
Nagyon jó videó a mai forrongó világban Nagyon hasznos köszönöm várom a következőt jó egészséget
Hi Andrew love it keep the videos coming Cheers Jc 😁👊🏻🇬🇧
another outstanding video, Andrew
I got up fairly early today, about 2:30 in the morning. Started watching a bunch of crap, came across your videos and now I can’t stop. I’ll be slim when I have to go through this stuff again. But I already have some ideas thank you for your time. USA forever.
Thank you
Thank You.
Awesome! 🇺🇸🦅🫡
I am a new subscriber,keep up the good work.
It's been said already; bin the mess tins and use the canteen cups, ideally one 58 water bottle and large crusader cup one side and the US bottle and cup on the other. The Dutch cup is preferrable to drink from with a rolled rim and fits the USG bottle. My own belt has more brew kit items and confectionary, with trail mix etc, and at least 2 pouch meals with MRE heating bags if lighting a fire is a no no. Good vid and interesting to see somebody else's take on belt kit.
Yeah, more food makes sense.
Holding a compass in your left hand! I know about bias but never knew that this could counteract strong side bias.
I always keep a whistle tied to my compass. In a non tactical env, high viz lanyards and tags help stop equipment loss.
Awesome
Excellent video!
Allways great videos
I would change a few things. Some type of suspenders will make for a much more comfortable carry and give you a good place to carry a tourniquet and battle bandages in front, extra handy! With two canteen cups and a CC stove, the mess kit and Esbit stove are unnecessary but I would add a second CC stove! In my experience those wire saws are worthless, a small folding saw (7") is much better! I would use the pouch that you have your poncho in for extra food and attach the poncho below the rear center for a handy seat! And a pair of gloves and a few candles! Great kit! Thank you!
Love that setup! Really wish I could buy one already assembled (minus the mags). I'd gladly pay your asking price.
Putting that kit together is where the fun and learning is
The learning experience is when it comes to put everything in a way that works together according your needs. It is not only pack random stuff but pack them wisely.
I'd foot the bill for the convenience as well.
Great video. Have you ever tried making an emergency personal flotation device using several Ziplock bags filled with air and put in your shirt and pants cargo pockets? I've been thinking about this, and if a one gallon milk bottle can easily keep you afloat, then having 6 or 8 one quart bags should do the same I would think. I'm just thinking for an emergency here, and keeping it compact and weighing next to nothing. Might make for a good video now that it's warming up. Keep up the great work.
Haha!! you mentioned pin flares, when I saw those I laughed and thought about my guard duty days in Iraq. Thanks.
I have a suggestion for alternative ammo pouches. Why not use USGI issue triple mag pouches,with the built-in grenade pouches. That way you can put your compass in the grenade pouch, still have 3 more grenade size pouches left and eliminate the separate compass pouch. Just a thought. Thanks.
Great video buddy
Well done. Maybe add a pair of Tegaderm and a couple packets of bacitracin or triple antibiotic, because its like a giant bandaid that is wafer thin and sterile.
Excellent
