Always thinking outside the box. The men that serve under you must really appreciate you.

[@NewHampshireJack]

We have a new reason why these short instructional videos have become a highlight and favorite for us each week. Our young troopers are often watching with me. They soon ask to try the techniques they see demonstrated. We enjoy seeing them learn new skills in an outdoor classroom. Again, I say thank you Andrew for the effort you put into filming and editing that benefited so many. Please know that you are appreciated by my family here in the Philippines.

[@BigRed-MWA]

Lol...Why the fck would you use a perfectly good ammonium to start a fire when you can use that for large game that could feed you for a week? Just rub two sticks together...🔥🤡🌏🥴🥴🥴 Seriously Who carries a safety razor to start a fire...🔥 This guy is an absolute joke..🤡🥴🥴🥴

[@AndyKola]

I was going to go to the NFL game to work today but after quitting and then watching this video it was a major boost to the spirits. It’s good to not be around people sometimes so it’s great to know this stuff. I’m glad I learned something today. Thank you very much.

[@johnmoore5174]

I learned something watching this video.

[@davidgraemesmith1980]

The fabric (ducking) old feather pillows were made of (stuff resistant to feathers poking through) was used for prefilter cloth in a few functions (air and water filtration) about 100 years ago and I was taught to use gypsum plaster as a flocking agent in real dirty water lol

[@marmadukegrimwig]

Fella, you MUST do a book!!

[@michaelhernandez410]

Just a suggestion - Expedition Research fuel tablets come in a much tougher packaging than Esbit and have a 100 year shelf life.

[@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft]

Good to know. Yeah, those Esbit wrappers break open and the smell in the kit from those tabs is awful

[@Kinetic--Energy]

Thank's for the new suggestions!

[@asmith7876]

If only I could get out to the woods and have some fun….thanks! Love your work, Pathfinder got lucky!

[@mrwdpkr5851]

I don't have grenade pins but I'm going to try with large key rings and see if I can whittle the ends down to slip inside the rings to save cord .

[@davidwright5580]

Thank you for your service and another awesome video

[@jonathanmerrell8931]

A nine volt battery and steel wool works as a fire starter as well, no razors needed

[@freddy29228]

You remind me of MacGyver days! He kept us entertained with his improvs. Thanks Andrew. Keep safe.

[@hiramhaji7813]

The key rings are a great idea for the buck saw

[@jasholden9741]

An alternate method of signaling, using the 9V battery, is to touch the cell to your tongue......the resulting scream is audible at long distance. :)

[@mikereynolds5753]

Nah, ain’t that bad that’s how I check em to see if still good. Course I grab spark plug wires also to see if they’re working🙄, maybe it’s just me.

[@dlighted8861]

@@mikereynolds5753 Thats such bad advice. I tried grabbing the spark plug wires and got run over by my car. 😶😁😶

Hahahaha that's so funny I saw it happend in my mind

[@tomritter493]

Lol😅😅😅😅

[@mikereynolds5753]

Wasn’t offering it as advice, just sayin what I’ve done😂😂; if I’m ever the voice of reason in a bad situation, it’s a verrry bad situation 😅. Hope you came out ok!!

[@stuartniven2401]

Thanks Andrew!!

[@jasongarling20]

Love the video! I've been doing this stuff for decades so I don't see many new material. So I appreciate the different things. Although I must say I've seen all of these before, or a variation of that. For example, instead of razor blades, other metal objects we carry can work. Everyone knows the gum wrapper. Small needles, sail needles etc. Anyway, I love these type of videos. Please show the out of the box stuff, where you can use different variables to complete said tasks. Appreciate everything you do Andrew!

[@chriskeating5926]

Down and Dirty ! love it ! great Video as per usual ... you are a good instructor CHEERS

[@donnywilkes6417]

Im surprised you dont have a million subs by now. Ive learned a few things ive never seen on youtube before.

[@robertdodd9623]

Excellent !

[@williammccaslin8527]

Even tho I'm old school ex- mil, like the 70's, I really dig that IFAK, even if I don't run a plate carrier, great idea for the troops. I run M - 81 web gear, an my IFAK is bulky on my web gear, but I won't be caught without it. Thx for the vid Andy

[@Yooper05]

They're so expensive. I wish they would issue these.

[@williammccaslin8527]

@@Yooper05 I wish they would to for active duty troops. I can see the validity of these behind a plate

[@friendofcoal]

Some good ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@jons5898]

I’ve always wondered what to do with my leftover grenade pin rings 🤔 ! 😂

[@RobbieBobbie98]

Pretty cool. If you have two 9v batteries you can hook them together from terminal to terminal for twice the fun but be warned, it’s hot

[@stevemilcoffmilcoff4655]

As usual a good vidio

[@freakyflow]

Being Native And a few passed down tips ... #1 Bedding Having a sleeping bag is great Even a tarp to keep you off the wet ground However for wetness And the earth drawing the heat out of you in colder weather You are going to want to be lifted off the ground a inch or two ..fine spruce tree limbs work for this Or pine if you only have the other option Followed by dead leaves if they are around The native people in my parts would follow thru with Moose, buffalo other hides. Now it might seem like alot of work But worse off is being sore Cold And wet when you wake up #2 Learn about the plant life in your area You may be able to extend your water And food supply longer than you think Birch tress give off water after the first thaw in spring Rope your tin cup to a tree Cut in a hole (No need to drill) And cut yourself a small V under the hole as a lip into the cup...You will need a few trees for a full cup Remember to plug the hole after with a piece of branch to no kill the tree. Staghorn Sumac contains Vitamin C Long as you do not boil the water And burn it off Add this to your water for 1 hr to over night And you will have a drink that has a slight citrus taste to it And its good for you Remember that Staghorn is named for having the shape of a Deer's cone shaped horn And its deep red No other sumac is like it And this one is not poisonous Every now And then take closer looks at plants And bushes They may contain Blueberries And raspberries Or what is in your area ..Huckleberry etc #3 Watch a few of these videos And ask yourself the Pros And cons of what you know And do not know For me it was medical understanding of a few things The pro of it was i took a red cross First Aid/CPR + course And looking to do a Emergency First Aid And Advance course And i hate knots And loops with rope so I still have to learn a few of them...Sailor And military good ones.... #4 You And your backpack. Now that you have all the goodies you think you need And know how to use Some of us fat asses (like me) Could not handle 80lbs on a flat road hike let a lone 3 miles up Currahee mountain. For me my multi bag has a main which is the core items that are light weight And are the basics off all needs light, Fire, food, water, first aid etc 30lbs And what i call break away bags that hold extra needs that are heavier bigger items ..Hatchet, mini cast iron 5inch pan Other knife, Ammo...Side tip Ziplock bags Are always good to have to keep in And keep out items ..waterproof Airtight Food water firestarter fresh berries dry socks I keep everything together on one bag And the bag in the truck except my weapons Which is another story I am not that willing to share : )

[@johnwyman5939]

Nicely done on showing off the skills . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

[@SIEGESURVIVAL]

Useful tips! It's also worth keeping foil bubble-gum wrappers for fire-starting. Cut a strips from one with a narrow section in the middle and touch the ends to the battery terminals on a AA battery. I haven't tried it on a 9V battery, but expect it should work.

[@chriswilson9230]

Great tip to cut the paracord.

[@edwardknudsen4806]

Always outstanding.

[@richardkibler3870]

God Blessed Man,don't sell yourself short,We all know you are a Ranger! From an Army dude,lol!

Most.If not All of us,are Humbled to be instructed by yourself & You are Very Much Appreciated! Many Thanks for being here,Cheers!!!

[@bc4yt]

Keeping a little steel wool in the tinder kit for use with a battery seems a mighty fine idea.

[@Joinordie718]

Excellent tips Major Andrew 👍🇺🇸

Never seen the pot perm/sugar hack! Nice!!! I made a "bottle cap" hack and keep pot perm in one side and glycerin in the other side! Pour the two together and viole'!

[@ARAW-__-]

Great video Andrew ! The firefly light is a cool piece of kit, didnt know it 😮

[@innocentgunn]

Thank you for all the tips, really good I'll check a couple of other vids to make my decision it looks good

[@shelley131]

Good video and great tips for our younger veterans still serving or beginning their career . I love the Potassium Permanganate. It has so many uses as a disenfactent and water purifier. Used it in my 20+ career in the military and was very handy in Ft. Sherman Panama. I hate the jungle.

[@peterbogart4531]

The fer de lance deserves special recognition as something to be avoided in Panama. A strike in a leg is too likely to result in amputation, by a doctor if you are lucky.

[@patrickbedruz6475]

Second video ive watched of yours, outstanding AF. Subscribed!

[@darylsarbaugh3491]

All the grenade pin rings I have came from the dummy grenades. When training with live grenades, the safety officer always kept the pins to make sure I was using all my grenades. Seens to me they trusted me to deploy the grenades, but they constantly were telling me not to cook off the grenades. So train as we fight goes right out the window.

[@sosteve9113]

Probably for inventory

[@mattnobrega6621]

Oooorah! Good training 🫡👍

[@jeffhowell3310]

Great video, definitely some interesting ones shown.

[@anthonyconte2018]

That canvas filtration bag is really interesting. Simple, straightforward and not too bulky.

[@martinbeagley4481]

I store my Grayl in mine so two levels of filtration

[@robhill1072]

Very nice. Once again, just like watching the live action FM's come to life. Plus the excellent instructional style. You would have made a great NCO.

[@terrycallaghan8269]

One of my weekly favorites

[@alfonsedente9679]

As a genuine ninja, i find it hard to believe a lone guy hid on an island, living in a homemade gillie suit, for 30 years, still sapping. Also, im pretty sure that guy was not the first to invent the concept of tying foliage to their uniform. Take that story with a grain of salt.

[@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft]

Check out the book: "No Surrender, My 30 Year War." by Hiroo Onoda. Really good and explains a lot about how he and several other Japanese soldiers were able to avoid being captured or discovered. Much of it had to do with very little Allied presence on the island as well as the seasonal monsoons and rough terrain.

[@lucyalderman422]

Civilian hack use key rings instead of grenade ring pins
