How to be a Bushman - Survivalist!

[@pt.eforestmanagementconsul5712]

Andrew - your insights are priceless. Amazing and often unique content. Excellent delivery. Engaging. Sincere. Trebble hooks for small game (in a necessary scenario) quite mind blowing... You're part of my unmissable youtube weekly line up.

[@JohnDoe-ff2fc]

Yeah, figuring that I've caught myself on those before, it should work even better on a rodent. I've heard of attaching a bunch of trebles on car stereos to make a thief pay in blood for their troubles.

[@timcope6685]

That was Outstanding !!! your different take on the same subject matter is refreshing !! I like the food segment and the snare Idea for fresh small Game. alternate use of equipment, such as the flashlight for emergency fire starting is well done! Keep going Andrew , I am really enjoying my Sunday coffee with a Corporal and a Ranger!!!

[@jamescrowe7892]

You and I are of the same mind. They both pack a lot of info in such a short period of time.

[@eaglesnest2881]

Enjoyed the video as always

[@kenbarrett6466]

Already knew the treble hook snare . Have never had to use it but it’s part of the kit . Also have nails for spikes on a windlass trap . Very good job pointing out the contamination of the canteen .. when it comes down to real survival there are no rules and regulations to follow .. it’s simply survive or perish , this mindset must be the motivational drive to keep you alive .

[@jackharper3190]

Absolutely underrated channel. One of the best contents I've seen in a long time. THANKS!

[@johnkline5930]

Great presentation today Andrew!!! Lots of good information that can save a life and use to expand upon with a little imagination!!! Lots of tasks that one can practice over the wintertime for expanding knowledge… I know I need to spend time learning netting skills and brush up in cordage basics, time to order more bank line! Keep up the Fire Ranger!!!

[@paulzimmerman3895]

Thank you again for the thoughtful effort you put into your instruction and fun. It's all in the details for sure. The tempo of your presentation is spot on. Appreciate your service on and off the field!

[@rdmiller512]

HOOAH Another outstanding video Major. Definitely learned a thing or two. Thank you for your continued service. Hope the Kansas prairies are treating you well.

[@thatsthatlean4927]

I have learned so much from watching your vids! I now look at my gear and try to figure out multiple uses for each and every item I put in there. Thanks for sharing all of this practical and useful information with us, and thank you for your service.

[@nauticalknotcraft]

Well done, as always. You cover a lot of ground in your teaching. It makes great viewing and learning. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time.

[@josephscroggins1071]

Great video. I love the different tricks you pull out of your hat! I think that you and Corpral Kelly should make a couple videos together on two man extended stay forward fighting positions. What do you think?

[@richavery5431]

I'd include Josh GB2 in the mix as well.

[@tristanvarsovia]

Great ideas! I wont be using a working bulb to make fire even though I have a spare, waste of resource, I like the idea of storing some wires and steel wool better.

[@lucjean5610]

Hello Andrew, thanks again for a great video. My trick for water countainer is to reuse the flour plastic bag from "Wheat Montana" . Very easy to fill with water and close back without leaks. I carried 4 trouts with water in my backpack without problem. Now I use only this bags to organize my backpack. I like to bake and have plenty of them.

[@JBreeze4598]

You can put small Christmas light(s) in your kit, it is what Hodges in the sandbox used for improv dets. Also if you have a mulity tool/SAK use the file and score the end. Helps make a easy clean break. Great video, THANKS

[@marvinbrock960]

I don’t understand why you don’t have 100k plus followers… always original content with knowledge 💣 being dropped constantly! Love your stuff! AA all the way

[@OldNavajoTricks]

A lot of people 'Sacrifice' things or tough it out because camping is temporary, they know there's reprieve at an appointed time. Survival imho begins with an acceptance of 'I guess I live here now.'

[@grayeaglej]

The "I Live Here Now" meme come to life. O.o

[@OldNavajoTricks]

@@grayeaglej I guess I should edit to reflect that lol.

[@joe_d8471]

Finally I’ve found another channel with someone that is actually teaching practical applications when sharing their knowledge. And then I see you’ve also completed the advanced course at the pathfinder school too!?! I’ve watched Sean Kelly for years and seeing another whose mastered the skill that provides different perspectives on the same skills and how they’re applied is simply amazing. Soo happy, gained a sub and views for sure because I love seeing different methods and then applying them myself. Keep them coming when you’re able to, saw you’re still active duty but I’ll watch them when you do post em whenever it is.

[@robbabcock_]

Great stuff! Obviously you have your methods pretty scienced-out over time but the main area we seem to diverge on is water. I'm a big fan of having a much larger metal container in my kits. The first is a stainless steel 5 L milk pail with a lid. It's a bit heavy but not really huge, it fits into all but the smallest packs I own. And it's the perfect size to stuff my Helikon-Tex Swagman roll into! That gives me a very potent shelter system and the ability to easily move, sanitize and store over a gallon water at a time. And when that's too heavy or bulky I have a titanium 2900 ml pot with lid & bail. This fits in pretty much every pack I own and being Ti it weighs practically nothing. IMO it's an absolute game-changer to be able to water a few liters at at time! In fact it makes things so much easier that the TV show "Alone" limits contestants to pots of 2 L or less (at least they used to, haven't seen the show in a few seasons).

[@arctodussimus6198]

Commenting to appease the algorithms. Good information. As usual. 👍🏻👍🏻 My son made a similar debris hut for part of his senior year project. It snowed the first night out and he was warmer in his shelter than I was in my lean-to. Semper Fi 🇺🇸

[@barrycartner3855]

My oldest son made this same squirrel nest for one of BSA merit badges in cold wx conditions some years ago. Instructor was impressed.

[@cindyjean3208]

[@LavameruJejak]

thank you uncle for taking me on an adventure and providing very useful knowledge. warm greetings from Lavameru in Indonesia

[@barrycartner3855]

Great content once again. I too would like to see you and Shawn Kelly make video together. With respect to the meal component, maybe discuss the calorie consumption concerns.

[@TheSaneHatter]

That one-quart food bag looks like it deserves its own presentation: there have to be several methods for how to assemble one. (I'm also wondering how you feel about old-fashioned trail mix.)

[@AnyDayNow360]

Another great video! I enjoyed seeing what you added up for 1k cals which did not appear disgusting to eat 🤣 great selection and thank you for your time!!!

[@robertdodd9623]

Excellent video , keep them coming. Your videos talk about wild fish and game in survival, I think that's crucial. 🇺🇸

[@MikesFitnessGoals]

Some of the best content I’ve seen on KZbin, thanks Andrew

[@frankvega4993]

Awesome video love Sunday's also I've been catching up watching all the passed videos👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@biblebeliever4570]

You accomplish a lot in 15 minutes. I went and bought some of those 1 walled metal bottles so water can be stored and be heated over the fire. No sense using plastic, not as durable or as usable. Both can store things from getting wet too. Cant beat wool blankets, good for year round use and kept in the vehicle for the emergency. Thank you Andrew, always look forward to your videos. God bless you When out in the field, what do you do to keep your axe and knives sharpened? Somehow my kits always seem to include the kitchen sink, meaning i add so much to it that its very heavy. Seems like everything is essential to me, but a guy of knowledge like you knows how to do without the extras.

[@leedavis5306]

Great content 👌. Look forward to your release on videos each week. Sometime would love to see what you carry just to go out and enjoy a couple nights. Keep it up. Hooah!

[@chasepetty5659]

Another good video Andrew love the flash light like trick that one I’m going to have to here soon. Thanks for the idea 💡👍

[@backwoodsbrooksknives4625]

I just posted a video about using a quart freezer bag for an mre. I was able to make one bag a 24 hour ration with 2770 calories. I saw some good ideas here that I will incorporate in future iterations but maybe someone else can get some ideas from my experiment as well. Sorry, shameless plug. ; )

[@rayjay848]

One thing that isn’t emphasized enough is that a Grayl Geopress will remove heavy metals and organics (pesticides). It purifies where Sawyer et. al. only filter. As it also carries water, I prefer it as my secondary container.

[@susanp.collins7834]

Yes, and here in South Africa a Grayl Geopress costs R3 889. Three thousand eight hundred and eighty nine Rands...

[@rodneyshiles1270]

Neat idea about the treble hook . I was watch the show alone and thought that same idea . Hooks and line . Knowing the animal would not want to fight much from the pain of the hook in its mouth . Great videos you put out . Thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge

[@Olyphoto7]

Great content, stay humble and you’ll go much farther in your endeavors.

[@Misanti888]

Hi Andrew. Filament trick is great though most flashlights nowadays are mostly LED based. Wondering if you can recreate d same effect using LED.... Regarding your flahlight fire methods, any idea if we can use 2 AAs or Cs sizes or is it critical that a D size b used? Either way, we get a 3V voltage. Or am thinking combining 3 AAs or Cs sizes to get 4.5v instead + lead wires?

[@robhill1072]

Great video! I love the old school field craft using gear I cut my teeth on back in the day. Nice tip on the bow saw blade in a belt. Genius.

[@shughes4113]

Great video. I’ll put my request in for an in-depth video on the ways to use the angle head flashlight as a fire starting tool. Glad you mentioned about the canteen being contaminated once it’s used as a gathering tool. Not too many people would make that connection and remember to disinfect it before using it to contain new clean water . Keep up the fantastic content!

[@memathews]

@Jake LaGottaIf you can close the circuit on the battery into some steel wool, then you can start a fire.

[@grabjrnskallby4118]

I’ve seen the treble hook trap before. It is very unethical and illegal if caught. At least, that’s what a Game Warden in MS told me. However, in a real life or death survival scenario, gotta get the food somehow. I prefer handhold traps with nails around a hole. Or snare setups. But, this was a good tool for those that may have never seen it. The lightbulb trick was a new one to me. I never would have thought to sacrifice a bulb like that. Very slick. Only other thing I’d have done, fill the bottle and the cup with water. No point in wasting empty space during your trip back from the old waterhole. Good video. I’d love to see more detail on setting up the pack and how to load it up securely. Oh, and where the heck can I get a belt like that?!?! That was friggin’ cool!

[@jddenson435]

Great video, never thought of using a triple hook as a snare. Great idea. Salute

[@Dire_wolfe]

I'm always learning something every time I view your instuctional vids. I like the mentality behind the pack kits and how you put them together. I would like to request a view of how you would put together a " Multi Seasonal Pack" for a longer term scenario and the contents you would recommend. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Great info 👍. I couldn't help but laugh as you were showing the treble hook with PB that I can hear a squirrel barking in the background 😂

[@turkeybird7679]

Major.....great video! The snare idea is a good one, but I would only use it if I was in bad shape as you were saying. I think I'd rather try to catch fish first.

[@jasonvickers2265]

Should have known you had a backup to the backup plan on the flashlight. Couldn't you use the quart bag to haul water? Great stuff anyway 👍

[@marvinbrock960]

Check your local game laws before using the treble hook snare… Game Wardens will freak out if they see that! Definitely a life saving measure only!

Nice mix of knowledge and skills in a close to real type application. Get out in the woods y'all!

[@timblankemship9698]

You know I would never thought about contamination in my canteen if I collected dirty water, never crossed my mind dam it's a wonder I've never got sick. Great tip,keep up the good work. 👍

[@JAEUFM]

A question about your shelter. How much of a downpour can those leaves resist? I figured a great use for any garbage bag or those cheap space blanket would be to line the roof of the inside of the shelter to hold off any drips that might make it through all the layers of leaves.

[@jamescrowe7892]

Ethical shmethical. Food is needed for survival. Hypothetically, if I were having to survive I would probably be poaching to beat the band. Hypothetically. You guys, and you know of whom I am referring, are a veritable plethora of survival knowledge and skills. One question was answered with the canteen. I was wondering, after the water was gathered in the canteen, could it be heat sterilized and returned to the canteen thereby sterilizing any residual moisture in the canteen? The limitation is how much water the cup holds which is roughly half the canteen. So boil, cool, consume, repeat. Thank you, Major. Appreciate all your hard work.

[@usernameusername1816]

Allow me to add my accolades and appreciation to the heap, Sir. If at all possible, could you do more indepth tutorial on preparing ration packs? I know there has to be more to it than grabbing some beef jerky and an energy bar. What would be the appropriate contents and approach for a self prepped MRE of sorts? Should there be adjustments for summer vs. winter packs? I know, that's several questions, but sincere inquiries from a civilian perspective. Thank you, Sir.

[@backwoodsbrooksknives4625]

I have a video myself about this. I was able to cram 2770 calories into quart freezer bag. While it might not be wise to go for more than a week eating these, they still taste decent and contain a reasonable macro profile and are only one pound a piece.

[@tenchraven]

That hook technique also works on birds. Works better, really, because they gulp. It is also a great reason to have wire leaders, or a reason to sacrifice 4" or so of snare wire per hook set. As for the water gathering, a couple of produce bags or an oven bag folded at the bottom of the canteen/bottle carrier adds functionally no mass and no volume, it's like having a couple of playing cards down there. And it simplifies that question.

[@jameshammond2738]

I like to build my bedding first and then build my Structure around it. It is much easier. Pile a ton of leaves and/or boughs for bedding before you build the walls. Otherwise you have to try to place your bedding into the small cracks and crevasses while on your knees and bent over. Hope this helps someone.

[@wmluna381]

Makes sense.

This beat anything I could have dreamed up in spades! I came over here after a shoutout by Corporal's Corner. I figured if HE was recommending you; then you MUST be good; especially since you completed his advanced course. But you, my friend, closed the sale!

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Andrew, mighty fine stuff once again mate. Its been said; (and rightly so), there's a 1001 uses for a shamag; a bow saw blade handle makes that 1002 I reckon. Thought you were gonna say what do you need more, a fire or the torch, (flashlight), but off course you have a spare globe hidden away, lol. Can't do that with LEDs, not instantly anyway lol. Like the trap too, a very straightforward method without much kit or complexity, perhaps not the most humane, though hey man, what really is ? ...... and if it means not starving............. Oh yeah, mad if you dont have some sort of high Kj/Calorie pack, I like a well balanced trail mix as a go to but more variety even better and probably last longer too, depending on one's discilpine. Cheers Duke.

[@georgewilson5303]

As always like the video. I'm george 67. My father was a drunk. He started hitting her. So I helped her leave. Had a year and half in school.to go. Was tired of him hitting me. So I stopped him. He said get out of my house. Not working no where to go. Pack up my camping equipment and left. Went about 10 miles up the mountain. Pitch my shelter half. Long store short. There I stated for 1 and 1/2. Never went to store and didn't come down from my. Mountain. Taught myself a lot of what you are doing. I came down joined the army. They sent me some where I didn't want to go and do things I didn't want to do. Back in the early 70s . Came home and found out I can survive any place. Thank you for your service.

[@adamwilson6037]

Major Andrew great video. Love all of the skills you teach and show. Can't wait for the next video.

[@hammerhound168]

Add a a couple of gallon freezer bags or a turkey roasting bag for unsafe water collection. Take back to camp and process/use as needed. I like those little Lipton soup packs, 2 in a box for a buck. Also bullion cubes bring flavor to a fresh game stew or can be sipped on cold nites. Sugar, salt and pepper packs .Also if your not apposed to cooking , check out the small packet of premixed cupcake ,cornbread . and gravy mixes. It is amazing how just a few calories of warm food can boost morale. Even plain hot water can warm your internal core, rehydrate you and save energy reserves. Thanks for the Vid, Hope your promotion went threw and congrats again on passing the advanced survival class at Dave Cantebury school.. Lead the way ranger !

[@steeverinohill2924]

God himself can't approve of a fishhook snare. The first thing you will hook is somebody's pitiful, screaming dog or cat. A baited deadfall with a figure-4 trigger gives a quieter and more sure kill.

[@markdentoneagles5909]

Once again great job. You cover some of the most useful content I have ever seen.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Andrew 😊 thanks for another great video, and some good tips, I especially liked the inclusion of a ration pack, it's a much overlooked part of any kit, and when shtf ,you don't want to have to look for your first food till you've got your head straight, , and it's a great moral booster . As always on your videos we learn something, and some of the comments are useful too, stay safe Major, kind regards Stuart Uk.

[@butchie2752]

One of my favorite channels. I liked the flashlight trick. I refer to as number seven (I made up the number) in your ongoing series called “Reasons to never ever forget your bic and your fire steel!” Always entertaining and a good reminder to remember other uses for stuff you have with you.

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

Great production Major ! Water safety question - presuming you've got no Sawyer, Grail, or chemicals, after collecting dirty water in your plastic canteen or another found plastic container, how would you go about making the canteen/plastic container clean enough to safely carry clean/safe water ? Don't want to put safe water in a dirty container... If it's a metal canteen/container, boiling would do it. But plastic ? Thanks !

[@backwoodsbrooksknives4625]

You can pour boiling water into a canteen. The plastic used in at least nalgeen products is a lexan polycarbonate and has a melting point of about 600ish degrees. The plastic in a military canteen is high density polyethylene and has a melting point of about 400ish degrees. So long as they are not exposed to open flame you can pour the disinfected water back in and then swish it around to kill anything left in the bottle. Be careful with the cap and threads though. This is also a useful feature for winter excursions. Fill two 32oz nalgeen with near boiling water and slide them into some spare socks placing one in the foot of your sleeping bag a keep the other one by your core.

[@jamescrowe7892]

That was a question I had. I figured the canteen could take the heat but the canteen cup volume is your limitation. To fill the canteen you would then have to get a 2nd cup full of water from the source , boil it then top off the canteen.

[@JohnDoe-ff2fc]

@@backwoodsbrooksknives4625 According to the CDC, heating water to a roiling boil for one minute at sea level has “high effectiveness in killing” protozoa such as Giardia and cryptosporidium (which is resistant even to bleach), bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, and others. Water temperatures above 160° F will kill pathogens within 30 minutes and at 185 degrees, just a few minutes. Keeping the water boiling for a full minute isn't possible, but in an emergency situation, it should be fairly good.

[@tarinindell8217]

Most plastic or even glass bottes can be used to boil over a fire. Often, its a 1-time use thing, but you can sometimes get more. Obviously, its not a "good" idea, and there are plenty of downsides (such as possibly getting cancer from boiling water in a plastic container) but if its a true survival situation, you gotta do what you gotta do. Generally, you want to suspend it as high over the fire (ideally just a coal bed) as possible while still allowing it to heat the water inside to boiling. This ONLY works if there sufficient water inside your container. Also... there are water bags that are safe and stury enough to boil water inside. Id recommend keeping one or two of those onhand if you dont intend of carrying another way to boil the water.

[@jeremymoses7401]

Kinda surprised you havent moved over to a stainless canteen.... even a GAK. I do see the appeal to stay with the plastic though, im notorious for dumping drink mix in mine (and cleaning it of course). Wont do it with my steel ones though.

[@noptsdwn]
