Thanks for the video and congrats on your promotion, Major. I hope Command & General staff college is going well for you. Don't know how you're finding the time to sneak in even a short video but it is appreciated and it's been a great ride with you. This nation is in good hands with people like you in our armed forces. Thank you for your service to us.

[@SurvivalRussia]

I'm wondering what kind of "military scenario" we are in, being able to have a fire going... I can't really think of a real life "military scenario" in which we can run an open fire. So we have a group of people which are waiting to be rescued using signaling devices. We are using "path guards/traps, meaning that hostiles would possibly be searching for said group, but we can make a fire. Nobody in battle conditions would be able to carry that amount of extra survival gear. It's also funny that everybody seems to have lost their firearms :)

[@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft]

I like your channel. Seen a few of your vids. My video really just addresses the list of skills for a 48-hour scenario per the manual. Depending on the isolating event the list may change priorities on how the survivor effects their needs. The manual list follows in order of what is most necessary or possibly most likely; addressing crucial survivor needs followed by those needs that may pertain to a combat scenario. I chose to just go down the list of the 48-Hour scenario instead of injecting needs based on a particular situation. I often carry items similar to the ones illustrated or that accomplish similar functions while being of less quality, again this isn't meant to align with a particular scenario. Firearms would be a good resource. I chose not to include them this time around.

[@SurvivalRussia]

@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft Got it. I just got the idea that this was a a scenario.

[@GlenBucy]

You do not pick the branches from the trees you pick the dead stuff on the ground for camouflage. It makes it look just like the rest of the area but if you pick the branches it looks really green and visible from a distance. Besides that great vid!

[@richardoxford3824]

Came here to add this heads-up... You beat me to it. The only other thing would be to not put your shelter in poiso ivy patches if you can help it (beginning of video) 😮

[@adenshalala9265]

For the foot trap Put the ends of the nails over a fire to cover them in soot. It makes a great camouflage

[@pepelemoko01]

Another favourite of the V.C was just fishing hooks at eye level on a fishing line. They also dug a hole at foot size at angle depth, with punji sticks at 45 degree angle on the sides, the soldier would step and his first reaction was to pull his foot out and injure the upper side of his foot. They would smear human faces on the spikes instead of animals as it causes a more septic wound.

[@jamescrowe7892]

You mean human feces, I think. That was an animal trapping method improvised for humans as I guess it was easier to disguise a smaller hole that one large enough to catch, say, a wild boar. It was referenced in the 1968 movie "The Green Berets". Plus books written by some of the men who served there mention punji pits. Damn nasty but effective.

[@pepelemoko01]

@@jamescrowe7892 Our sergeants served in Vietnam, you weren't even safe in the rear echelon the VC would hollow out a playboy magazine and put a thin layer of plastic explosive, a battery and pressure switch and leave it in the barracks,for someone to pick up.

[@markblocker4565]

The Vietnamese people fought the French, then the Japanese, then the French again, before the Americans ever showed up. They had ample opportunity to learn cheap and easy ways to defend their homeland. We never should have set foot there, but we did.

[@dancofoed3422]

they put poisonous snakes in the bottom of the pit instead of sticks, step into the hole and game over

@@markblocker4565 The vietnam war was actually a proxy war between communist china and the USA located in Vietnam. When the US was just about to win the entire conflict the commis in congresse ended the entire war abandoning the southvietnamese people to a ruthless communist dictator.

[@dyoung06]

well done. We set up claymores most nights around our perimeters, some with trip wire, clothes pins and thumb tacks for electrical contacts, or directly connected to a clacker. Vietnam, what a classroom. Thank you, Andrew. I still have a lot to learn from you.

[@gordonshrubb7155]

48hr in garrison survival training would be good too. Another good show.

[@claudeoverstreet8791]

Another outstanding video. I watch every one you put out and learn something new every time. I just got back from an eight day canoe trip. I like the fact that you can improvise almost everything with minimal gear. Considering the times, I’m getting really focused on perimeter alarms and defense. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@timcope6685]

Here I am reading Final Day after reading One Second After, One Year After, and then I check your YT. Always informative and on point. I have a sense of how fragile the world is becoming and how valuable adding skills to surviving are.

[@jamescrowe7892]

Scary books. They made me start thinking about survival and what I would need in that situation. They made you realize what people could be capable of doing when they lose everything they were used to having around in order to live. I hope we never have to find out.

[@cindyjean3208]

I agree… I’ve been watching world events and realizing that I need a plan a, plan b and plan c… Times are now very volatile… and fragile… and so is life… I’m doing my best to get physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially ready… No time to waste…

[@mitchellsworth5855]

I read one second after a few years back pretty scary when you think about it 😬

[@jamescrowe7892]

Always enjoy trying to find your camouflaged position. Finally looked closer to the ground and found a portion of your poncho just before you started moving. I got lucky on that one. Outstanding instruction on improvised weapons, especially the nails in the trail. You never know when such a device might come in handy. Just don't be a victim of your own trap. John Rambo, eat your heart out. Who knew Silly String could actually be useful? Another Bravo Zulu video.

Regarding the water filtering: our instructor explained, that it is better to boil the water before drinking, even though having filtered it first. With filtering you might get rid of impurity, but you might still have bacteria in it that would make you sick. Especially, when you take it out of a swamp, lake or any other still waters. Boiling it at 100° C. will kill them.
