I take a few nails in my bush kit too. I also take a few flat head screws that will suit a 1/8th" drill bit. My drill bit has a washer bronze brazed on the chuck end to be used by hand. I have 3 holes predrilled into my makeshift awl and I keep the awl needles taped on the side. If they get loose I use a little cloth or tape to tighten the fit. I like 60lb grey fishing braid as its a good size for repairs as well as fishing and trap triggers. I have a even sided ss throwing knife that I cut down and drilled two holes in it so I can fashion it to a spear pole with the screws. I just saw a slot in top. Its useful as its a scandi grind too. A short piece of conduit heated and slipped over the concave shaft makes a good handle too. The pommel is a 90° point that comes in handy. 'Thank you Andrew'... for helping me to look after myself better in the bush, from the smallest things to the most cunningly stealthy. 💜👍 Universal Sovereign Citizen

I don't know why but I'm not getting new videos from u unless this was your last video. I really enjoyed this video. I'm a orepper write notes. This is the only video that keeps popping up.

[@jeffmcgilvrey2497]

Absolutely the best source that I have found for skills training

[@platonicmetal]

The nail-awl is brilliant! I keep nails in some kits and tins, and now I have a new way to use them.

[@bc4yt]

Without fail Andrew always has at least novel idea in every video!

[@glacousxx]

This channel deserves so much more attention . One of the only good recommendations by google.

[@shanel4348]

The best KZbin channel of all (in my opinion). You usually have to pay money for tips and tricks like these. The MacGuyver of the wilderness!

We are over the international dateline in S.E. Asia. It is already Monday when the video drops. Nevertheless, we wait to learn all these golden nuggets from a superior teacher.

[@mikeoxley6303]

Amazing andrew thank u

[@spooneythebadger]

Yup. Another banger. Thanks Andrew.

[@Countryboy071]

Thank you Andrew. Yet another brilliant video, I look forward to these. There's so many guys out there 'reinventing the wheel ' so to speak. You're knowledge is so practical and innovative. I've been putting some of these skills to the test in some private woodland I use here in the UK. The nice thing about these videos is you can do so much with so little. When I go out for a couple of nights I don't feel I need to carry 40 pounds of kit with me anymore. Thanks again boss 👍

[@paulzimmerman3895]

I walked away with a plethora of new knowledge! Thanks again, Andrew. As always, awesome stuff!

[@alanrice39]

Yes I did get a lot out of this! Real dandy hacks with simple items, thanks Andrew

[@charlessalmond7076]

Excellent video, sir! Ive got an AR i decided to switch the grip out on while in the field. Detent spring for the saftey is still in that field somewhere. The spring out of a bic lighter got cut down slightly and installed. That was 7 or 8 years ago. Selector switch syill works great. Adapt, improvise, overcome!

[@jeromekiemes6543]

thanks for your Videos ✌️👍

[@asmith7876]

So back in the day the canteen cover had a fluffy fleece lining for just the purpose of soaking it to cool it down. They prefer you use your socks now I guess 🤣🤣🤣. Suddenly the nail shank/awl is everywhere. Weird. Killer video like always!

[@mrkultra1655]

My dad was in the Air Force for about 28 years, from about ‘72 to 2000ish. There used to be a time where we never needed pens or pencils. I miss those pens, and the mechanical pencils were good too. I wish we could still get them. Thanks Andrew.

[@caseydarrah]

Amazon has the Skilcraft pens. I can vouch that they will work for an emergency field cricothyroidotomy. Any pen will work, but the diameter of the skilcraft works really well.

[@Lowrideractual]

I was an AFOSI Special Agent in about mid 1974 I arrested a young airman for selling heroin. Searched him, turned him over to a security policeman for confinement and went home. No more than walked in the door and I get call on the radio saying you prisoner is dead...to shorten the story....he took a GI pen and drove it into his temple with his hand, wiggled it around a bit inside his brain and that was that. Not sure where the pen came from, but yes, they are deadly weapons.

I love all Ranger Survival and Field Craft videos! Thanks for sharing another informative video.

[@glacousxx]

Using a thing you hoarded in the junk drawer feels amazing.

[@MasterK9Trainer]

A lot of people put somewhat of an extreme emphasis on tearing the minimum amount of stuff but like you demonstrated your video carrying a few safety pins or a couple of paper clips and rubber bands and other small very lightweight doodads or do hickeys can provide you with greater capabilities then just the usual knife, paracord and a cook pot

[@peterbogart4531]

Hair bands are similar and can often be found in good shape lying on the ground

[@rogerjensen5277]

I carry seven tea light candles in a 5 1/2" long by 2 1/8 diameter pill bottle with a cotton round between each one and one on the top candle so that if that wax gets too warm and melts a bit in my pocket or pack then this isn't a mess in the pill bottle and the rounds can be used as a fire extender. Rubbing the round on top of the candle just before you're planning on using it will impregnate some (or more) wax into the round by friction. You can also melt a small cotton ball or cotton round (trimmed down to fit into the candle) to use a fuel for an Esbit folding stove; you can use up to three at a time and you will get about a 2-3" flame off each one and about a 20 minute burn time! Unlike a wood fire, there is almost no smell off the candles! An easier way to make a aluminum foil cup is to use two layers and shape it around the end of a stick or can or even your fist, then roll the excess at the top to stiffen the cup. This also gives you a flatter bottom for more stability. If you have some semi-stiff wire available you can shape a cup holder for your aluminum cup for greater strength! Using a multi-tool pliers will make this much easier. A better way to make a dew catcher is to suspend your plastic sheet above the ground, place a small clean stone in the center and place a clean container (cup, can, etc.) beneath under the center. This way you will get condensation on top of the plastic where the rock is and also some condensation dripped into your cup! Love your videos, thank you!

[@peterbogart4531]

The little Esbit stove is a candidate for a must-have.

[@coryhodge1266]

Creative aptitude is second to none when you have to make best use of what you got. I probably would have overlooked many things shown here. Thanks :)

When you use the closed Weather Jacket on the Frontside down, you have the same Result. But you can wear the Weather Jacket dry after the Drink!

I think you meant "unassuming" but I much prefer the image of "unsuspecting" items just chilling in the junk draw, with no idea they're about to get conscripted into a survival kit! 😂

[@miguelboricuapatientlongsu1855]

Good 👍🏼

[@josephmartin1540]

Good grief! Haven't seen some of these things since the 60s... including those pens! Fun video! Made/used one of those awls back then, but started carrying a pocket knife with an all by the 70s! Great fun vid!

Ingenuity, adapt to overcome.

[@unfi6798]

G'day Major. Another awesome down & dirty vid. Love that mouse trap, we use a similar trap to catch snakes raiding the chook pen. All reptiles caught are given to the local Reptile Center. They educate people in how to live & deal with poisonous animals. Cheers mate from Australia.

[@peterbogart4531]

Glad U R still not dead, mate!

[@robertedwards7749]

Wile E. Coyote should take lessons from you. He is definitely creative but he lacks follow through and that is what he could learn from you. Can I refer him your channel? All kidding aside This video was a real treat. Full of innovative ideas that I have to ask who comes up with all this stuff? Is this your ideas after all that you have gone through or is this stuff from different survival schools that you are passing along to us? What ever it is I just sit here in awe at all the neat little devices you come up with. Thank you for sharing.

Takeaways- spring in the pen for baiting a hook. Nice. Tampons as a righteous fire starter even though it makes a really good bandage. The rat trap is a little complicated . . . not sure I want rat for breakfast anyway. Have to be real hungry. Ranks right up there with billy goat puke.
