Outstanding instruction. I carry those items already. I was a Seabee and trained by the Navy and Marine Corp. Learning much from you. You've got your shit together.
A seabee is a navy construction man. He is more like a Marine combat engineer than anything else. He. Is trained in several areas of construction as well as in combat. I was a Builder. There are also steel workers. Utilityman which are plumbers. Equipment operators which are the ones that handle the heavy equipment. Electricians. Engineers which are the surveyors and several other ratings. I was sent to Camp Pendleton where I received my combat training at the hands of the Marine Corps and had to qualify in all the weapons used by the Marines because the Seabees provide our own security and if attacked we defend ourselves. You can look it up because on TH-cam there are quite a few videos about the Seabees. I served in in nmcb 5 as well as nmcb 3. Nmcb stands for Naval mobile construction battalion. I was home ported in Port Hueneme california. I went to "A" school where I was trained in carpentry and concrete Masonry in Davisville Rhode Island.
I like to carry a automatic winding analog watch in the winter as you can wear it outside your clothing without the cold affecting a battery or display. Useful when doing a job where timings are important such as the military. You don't have to peel back mittens and parkas to see the time. If it doesn't have a strap to fit over your layers you can hang it off a pocket, webbing yoke, shoulder strap or vest. I still like a modern digital on my wrist as all those functions and backlighting are helpful. The vibration alarm feature is also good not just for being silent but you can feel your alarm even if burried under several layers of clothing or sleeping bag that would muffle any beeping your watch would have done.
great kit. I would make two small adjustments. I would add a length of paracord on the lighter to make a loop. and add a Suunto clipper compass on the watchstrap...better to have a more reliable way of navigating.
Another good lesson! These items are definitely the basic for any survival kit/pocket load out. Personal note, a Buck lockback is a great choice for a “survival knife”. I am a bit old school in preferring a match safe and storm matches to a lighter, unless the lighter is a recently filled Zippo.
Always love to see the pocket carry videos. That stuff never gets left behind or lost ( seldom) If you're without pockets, you're up the brown creek already anyway
In a survivalist course yrs ago, we were each required to eat 3 grubs. U got 3 chances to do it AND hold them down. My way was to get cold water, wrap them in mint leaves, then swallow w big gulps of water. Did it but gag reflex and goose bumps all over! 😫 😫
@@dead2802 That sounds like a real test of willpower and resourcefulness! Using mint leaves and cold water was a clever way to mask the taste and texture. Surviving the gag reflex and goosebumps shows your determination impressive! How did others in the group handle it?
@BanhMiBH All different. 2 couldnt do it. Like me the rest were like moaning and groaning. But we went on w our training. I was real young. Today? NOPE!
Very informative and entertaining as well, thanks! Just two things to add: - peanut butter is a multifunctional item, also good e.g. for creating candles or smearing it on skin etc. - steel can brittle and break in cold conditions, that is also true for knife blades (depending on the steel, of course). If in doubt and in very cold temperatures, remember to keep your blade always warm in/under your clothing. This is especially important for fixed blades, as folders are usually automatically kept in your pockets. Have a great 2025!
@@justinhachey4931 Well, that's very simple, it is basically the oil/fat content what makes it work for such uses. - skin care: especially in winter, your skin is extremely stressed. Usually you would carry some skin cream (often with high UV/sun protect factor) or lip balm etc. with you in order to protect your hands and face. If you don't have that, any plant or animal based oil or fat might do the job, at least as an emergency measure. In olden times people used even regularly such natural / home made stuff, e.g. the farmers in my neighborhood used often lard as hand cream, in some parts of the world they use ghee, elsewhere olive oil. If you have only peanut butter with you, you can also use that in an emergency. But beware, modern industrially manufactured stuff might contain preservatives, sugar, salt and what not, so use it only in an emergency. (Or DIY your own peanut butter, it is very easy.) - candle: same principle, oil/fat is what burns, and peanut butter is mainly such stuff. Basically you but something as a wick in peanut butter (which might be in any kind of container), and voila, you have your emergency candle. Some TH-cam channels (e.g. KennethKramm) can show you more detailed howtos. - else: peanut butter is multifunctional. You can use it also e.g. as bait, lubricant, fire starter, even as sticker remover or for keeping your doggy at home busy, you can mask scents with it, or prevent your carbon steel knife from rusting, and so on ... kind of endless possibilities when you start thinking about other possibilities than just using it for food purposes. Regards, Robert
@bangalorebobbel damn! well, thanks for your time to write this out and give me some good, valuable information. I'll be sure to remember this. Thank you very much
@@Morski_BlackFox thanks and just to say it: of course it is always the better idea to carry directly what you need with you (like e.g. lip balm or a candle) instead of improvising. We are talking about what you can do in an emergency when you don't have with you what is really needed. Yet stuff like peanut butter or olive oil or petrol jelly etc. is very versatile and multifunctional and always a good idea to carry. About your question: well, I'm not really sure what is the best way to carry peanut butter especially during winter conditions. I guess it might harden in deep temperatures, yet how much it hardens migh depend on how or where you intend to carry it and whether you DIYed it at home or whether it is commercial stuff with god knows what stuff in it (commonly it is mixed with palm oil, or other cheap stuff plus preservatives and salt etc.). So you might not get it out of a tube in winter and might want to use any wide mouth container or so. Small packages as shown here are IMHO also an option in winter as you might be able to peel the packaging material if you cannot press the content out of a small opening. But for example here where I live I've never seen such portion packs, here I get that stuff only in jars.
I love your videos. I did sere in Brunswick. Your perfect vernacular mixed with obviously useful skills and perfect amount of sarcasm makes me kind of miss the $hit. Ps. I still camp 40 days a year at least.
If I may, I would add two sandwich bread bags to put on your feet in your shoes to keep them warm and dry. I remember as a small child back in the 70's my grandparents put sandwich bread bags over my boots to protect my feet in deep snow that year. Should fold up nice n tight to save space.
I did the same thing when I was a little kid, but i put them inside of my shoes. Saved my tootsies lots of times while playing on a (mostly) frozen creek. Good times!
If you can find them: "Canada Light Classic Lighter". It has a little adjuster to crank the flame up or down. You can pry off the tin heat shield, partially remove the little valve adjuster, and you can ratchet it up to a huge flame, replace the tin heat shield. When it's REALLY cold out, you'll still have a great flame without having to keep putting the lighter back into an inside pocket every time you use it out there in the frozen hell.
Happy new year!!! Love love love this!!! My favorite survival channel with my favorite instructor… Today terrible cold weather… very appropriate video to watch… …We all want subtle lips… 😁 May God bless each of us with a prosperous, healthy and happy 2025!! 🙏🏻❤️
Wool Everything for winter if possible.Fill All them pockets with edibles,i.e.peanut butter,cheese,Halvah,boullion cubes,etc.Don't forget the Jello,lol! Dead fall traps are the easiest & best,Especially during winter time.Thanks Andrew for gettin' out there & Instructing us,Cheers!
Great Video. I always look forward every week when you put the video. I have a video idea for you. I think my favorite video you have ever done was the mini ALTOID survival kit. A few weeks ago I got a pack of Altoids Smalls and thought that is would be a great video on what you would put in a mini mini survival kit what will fit anywhere. I would love to see what you would put in. Andrew what edc light to carry? Great video.
I'd attach the lighter to a length of paracord using masking tape and wear it around my neck inside my clothing. That way body heat keeps the fuel warm and I have a bonus length of cordage and tape with me.
Lol, love your sense of humor! As always Andrew I really enjoyed this video and learned. Keep items in my pockets at all times plus a small a small mollie first aid pouch with supplies that can go in a cargo pocket or wear on my belt. Always have my canteen and cup and belt fix blade knife, usually a Garberg. Thanks for this video
According to Buck the 112 came about following a fight on the USS Ranger in 1972 which resulted in a sailor being stabbed, supposedly, with a 110. The CO banned all knives 3" and over folders.
So easy to ADD ONE item! Carry the foil emergency blanket, occupies no more thank a handkerchief pocket space. I need to revisit previous episodes to find your recommended optimum POCKET load out for winter survival. Andrew, you had too many EMPTY pockets! I carry more simple small items ALWAYS, especially in winter, within my pockets, and/or small leather neck/shoulder purse, and/or in my car/go bag. EVERYONE: These episodes must be required viewing for anyone in your family.
If you're an old school Boy Scout you've eaten a lot of charcoal meals , hotdogs and chickens charred so bad you would know if it was a field mouse or not 👍
When it comes to something with multiple uses I’m old enough to remember thinking I was uptown to have a Kamp King Scout pocket knife. Many, ma-a-ny moons ago. US made too!😄
happy new year 2025 = Ranger Survival and Field Craft --great job oscar video ------ 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 percent better than Corporals corners ......you must be one of the Top TeacherS of Dave Canterbury .. RANK YOU 10
Here's a suggestion: You say below freezing and cold, but I would love to see a quick reminder of the exact or estimated number, the temperature and windspeed and such. Additionally, give us some understanding of how equipment works (or doesn't) at various temperatures Otherwise, great video as always!
you like multitools.... you know , the leatherman ARC? its a very good multitool, too for your perfect trainings!!! best greetings from north germany my friend!
Your winter is warm compared to our in northern Alberta Canada. Great skills no doubt but in minus 30 Celsius and at night getting to -40 you’d need more gear. If you can’t get warm after falling trough ice in the first 10 min in those conditions your toast.
Hey Andrew! Hope I spelled your name right' I am a long time viewer of your channel and enjoy your content so thank you Sir! I would like to say myself and im sure alot of your viewers would like to see you do a over nighter or day camp which ever is convenient for you possessing your skills along the way no stress 😅
How can those Casio watches be tactical? They arrive 5 minutes before the wearer does and the glare from it can be seen by the ISS.... But, a good & informative video.
I would love to see the real world numbers on people actually being rescued due to using a signal mirror. I'm not saying they don't work, just curious is all. If you're letting me substitute items I'm ditching the mirror and replacing it with a water purifying drinking straw, water purification tablets, or a metal canteen cup. That way I can have safe drinking water. Trust me I can make a big enough fire to get numerous peoples' attention, and a signal fire works both day and night! (A highly polished knife blade makes a great improvised signal mirror as well.) Due to having a smart phone I don't wear a wrist clock much anymore unless I'm timing a run, so in this scenerio I'd probably ditch the watch for my smart phone instead. That being said I once had a fairly simple digital watch that also had a built-in digital compass function that would allow you to adjust for the magnetic declination for your current location. I might think about getting another one. 🤔 There are so many things you can do with a modern smart phone if you take advantage of the apps, both online and offline. Not just the many forms of communication via calling, texting, 911, etc., but there are also many free offline use apps for strobe/SOS signalling with phone flashlight as well as audible horns, sirens, and whistles. Then there are the many downloadable offline use compass, navigation, and map apps for use with your true gps capable smart phone. In an actual survival situation you just have to be miserly with usage and/or carry a means to recharge your smart phone. And before you tell me that a smart phone is useless once the battery is dead, the glass screen can be used as a makeshift signal mirror. I also keep a piece of automotive mirror tape stuck to the inside of my phone's protective case just because it fits there without issue. (And maybe a few other thin "C" items contained there as well.) Since your Bic lighter and attached duct tape are considered one of the five items could we make a necklace/lanyard out of the paracord for the lighter/tape combo and still condider that one item? That way it frees us up a spot for a poncho or tarp. Asking for a friend. 😆
hehe, try that ice trick here right now, about 55cm thick ice, unlikely to produce 1/10 of the ice withoutinsaneamountofwork, better go with packed snow here, over 1m deep so plenty if water available.
I've seen the duct tape trick for many years, one thing I've wondered is, what if you take some of the small tender like the dried grass and wrapped the tape around it to form a small tinder bundle. Would this help or hinder it for burning and starting a fire?
Missing a needle or safety pin for first aid and repair. In cold, wet winter conditions, a large plastic bag will ward off hypothermia. Std item for evert winter hiker in the wet hills. A piece of heavy duty foil can become a cooking pot.
I remember thinking I was really uptown owning an Imperial Kamp King scout pocket knife. Multiple use treasure and US made too. Many, very many moons ago. Haha😄 Kinda dates myself.
Tom is apoplectic that not only did you catch Jerry, but you also got to chow down. May Jerry RIP. Now, if you can make Wiley Coyote jealous by catching that pesky Road Runner, my life might be complete.

"Follow me for more recipes" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh Lord. Excellent. 👍🏻
The death of the two men in washington state who were out bigfoot hunting are a good example of why these skills are important
Yes, but that's also a Darwin event.
Darwin award Big foot edition. Chapter dumb @@jamespaul2587
Or it's a good example of why people should have the sense not to be out looking for bigfoot.
Didn't hear about this story. What happened?
Maybe they found it..!!

In winter I would completely agree with you.
I want to thank you, not only for the survival info, but for not bringing any political stance to your videos.
Always love to see the pocket carry videos. That stuff never
gets left behind or lost ( seldom)
If you're without pockets, you're up the brown creek
already anyway
Stuff your pocket gear in a bag if you don’t have pockets, or if your pockets rip so you don’t lose your gear.
Perhaps the best survival tool is a great kilt. Even if you don’t free ball it, the Scottish knew what it was to survive in cold climates.
When it's cold,and damp 359 days a year you learn fast.

The see-food joke I was not expecting. 😂

If you're letting me substitute items I'm ditching the mirror and replacing it with a water purifying drinking straw, water purification tablets, or a metal canteen cup. That way I can have safe drinking water.
Trust me I can make a big enough
fire to get numerous peoples' attention, and a signal fire works both day and night! (A highly polished knife blade makes a great improvised signal mirror as well.)
Due to having a smart phone I don't wear a wrist clock much anymore unless I'm timing a run, so in this scenerio I'd probably ditch the watch for my smart phone instead. That being said I once had a fairly simple digital watch that also had a built-in digital compass function that would allow you to adjust for the magnetic declination for your current location. I might think about getting another one. 🤔
There are so many things you can do with a modern smart phone if you take advantage of the apps, both online and offline. Not just the many forms of communication via calling, texting, 911, etc., but there are also many free offline use apps for strobe/SOS signalling with phone flashlight as well as audible horns, sirens, and whistles. Then there are the many downloadable offline use compass, navigation, and map apps for use with your true gps capable smart phone. In an actual survival situation you just have to be miserly with usage and/or carry a means to recharge your smart phone.
And before you tell me that a smart phone is useless once the battery is dead, the glass screen can be used as a makeshift signal mirror. I also keep a piece of automotive mirror tape stuck to the inside of my phone's protective case just because it fits there without issue. (And maybe a few other thin "C" items contained there as well.)
Since your Bic lighter and attached duct tape are considered one of the five items could we make a necklace/lanyard out of the paracord for the lighter/tape combo and still condider that one item? That way it frees us up a spot for a poncho or tarp. Asking for a friend. 😆
Good info, stay toasty!
hehe, try that ice trick here right now, about 55cm thick ice, unlikely to produce 1/10 of the ice withoutinsaneamountofwork, better go with packed snow here, over 1m deep so plenty if water available.
I've seen the duct tape trick for many years, one thing I've wondered is, what if you take some of the small tender like the dried grass and wrapped the tape around it to form a small tinder bundle. Would this help or hinder it for burning and starting a fire?
Missing a needle or safety pin for first aid and repair.
In cold, wet winter conditions, a large plastic bag will ward off hypothermia. Std item for evert winter hiker in the wet hills.
A piece of heavy duty foil can become a cooking pot.
Спасибо!
......"follow me for more recipes"😂😂😂😂 Thank you Major👍🏼
I remember thinking I was really uptown owning an Imperial Kamp King scout pocket knife. Multiple use treasure and US made too. Many, very many moons ago. Haha😄 Kinda dates myself.
Tom is apoplectic that not only did you catch Jerry, but you also got to chow down. May Jerry RIP. Now, if you can make Wiley Coyote jealous by catching that pesky Road Runner, my life might be complete.
Skank water and charcoal mouse, I’m getting hungry, great video like always, loads of information
Taylor pork roll by Taylor Provisions. 130pm haven't eaten yet...
Duct tape three strips rolled like a cig. Light each end
Could I survive? Probably not. RF&S would be able to survive with just a picture of these items though 😂
