I like how casually you mention that the spindle can also be used for vampires, most "survival experts" don't even bother to mention them

[@nolanwardle111]

I know right

[@CrazyUncleDan]

Your chances of being killed by a vampire are very low but never zero...

[@mohamedabdelhamed3022]

I follow you from Egypt .Unfortunately, we do not have forests to live this experience, but one day I will visit your forests and go through this experience. With my regards, an Egyptian follower

[@garethjones7611]

That's really cool. Hopefully one day you can come visit the woods.

[@mohamedabdelhamed3022]

@@garethjones7611 I will do so as soon as possible 😊

[@slappyjoes]

We will welcome you with open arms!

Really liked the video! No muss, no fuss, no long drawn out stories. Just the complete instruction essentials. All one has to do is to pay attention. Very high-quality instruction. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

[@backwoodstrails]

Solid information! Beyond that, I hope everyone appreciates all the effort that goes into the prep, filming and editing of your videos, definitely a lot of work you put into your channel.

[@rtoguidver3651]

The best teacher is experience, each time you go out you learn more than any video can teach you. It's better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

[@jasongarling20]

I love these survival skill videos! I agree, that everyone should know these basic skills! Great job explaining! Experience is king! Everyone practice these!

[@dammitdan106]

Really is a perishable skill set, but even though you cover trodden ground it refreshes to terminate-stay-resident in our harried minds. And good to see you teaching this to students as a working instructor. Top notch.

[@NikosKatsikanis]

perishable?

[@DontLookBehindYou1]

I think my favorite thing on this one was the bow saw. I never thought about carrying the blade separately and saving all that space

[@mehmedakar8868]

Camping and jeans 🤷🏻

[@bradpage8967]

Agreed! And can be easily stored in a can or pan. I will use that!

[@walmartynotc]

can do similar with silky folders

I appreciate the details you put in describing your actions. Very helpful, thanks

[@larrywise8109]

Andrew, I like how you teach bushcraft and survival skills and then turn it right back to a lesson on daily living, self motivation, etc. Very motivational, and encouraging.

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

Ready for today top shelf edification. Today is the first episode I’ve watched since the successful removal of my brain tumor. After thirteen years of surgeries, chemo, and radiation I am tumor free. Stitches out April 13. Time to fulfill a promise to myself now-sign up for courses at the Pathfinder school. Carpe Diem every one. 🤙

[@613Club]

YAY! how are you? Almost a year since ur stitches were out.

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

I am doing much better these days, the little piece of tumor that was too deep to be removed started growing a couple of months ago. It’s day 60 of the new chemo(Ivosidenib). Thank you for your comment, I do appreciate it. 🤙

[@613Club]

@@ReasontoLiveAdventures rock on, I'm so happy to hear you're still moving forward. Sometimes cancer is a lil bugger and won't go away at first. You got this.

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

My mantra, since waking from the coma, comes from Shawshank Redemption. “Get busy living, or get busy dying.” I occasionally post treatment update videos, so my fellow brain tumor warriors can see that there is life during and after treatment.🤙

[@user-zr5qd8tn2h]

Simple, informative, and could mean the difference of life or death. Thank you, for passing on your knowledge, & time making these videos !

[@stuartniven2401]

Great video as always!! Thanks Andrew! Sunday is not complete without a Ranger Survival video!

[@user-py5ps7mz2o]

Great job, Andrew, Just to parrot what your other viewers have stated, ' Clear and concisely presented for all skill levels ', Thank you for your service and your time to instruct us on survival skills we might need one day.

[@alanrice39]

Love these excellent skills, I never get enough of them, thanks Andrew!

[@jamesflener6889]

You get more professional with every video! Keep it up

[@unfi6798]

Another great class revision on survival. We never get tired of these knowledge no matter how many times we see it. Knowledge gain is learned when it's second nature. Any chance of doing a scenerio where you're searching for water & making shelter in an unfimiliar location.? Cheers Digger.!

[@shellariddle324]

I’m always impressed with your learned skills. Thank you for sharing.

[@corleyoutdoors2887]

I like how after we’re done with the chair and it’s time to go to bed, we use the same bipod to set up a shelter.👍👍👍

[@mervmartin2112]

Great video! You're one of the few I've seen that actually lashes right. People miss the frapping, and it's what makes the whole thing tight. Along with a backpack you might want to get into travois building. Hauls heavier loads, including injured people. Can be a problem in some types of terrain.

[@timmccarver4121]

Great job as usual, Andrew! You set the bar just a little higher with each video!

[@garepardo]

Best survival bushcraft videos by far... Greetings from Spain. 👍

[@germanprepper21]

All key skills for the troubled times we are living through. I have regular intel up on YT. Keep prepping guys 👍 🙏 ✝️

[@travelandeventz2742]

[@basilbrushbooshieboosh5302]

Hot damn! Loved that vid. Straight to the point, no scenic landscapes lingering on camera with wistful music accompaniment. No click-bait crap. Gonna get myself some Australian Chaga equivalent quick smart. Essential, light, carry material.

[@waveydavie]

Love this, straight to the point, no messing!

[@simonh6371]

Outstanding as always, Sir. Your chair is a luxury version of the one I made a few months back on a short camp in some local woodland, mine was just a triangle of 3 sticks lashed together and leaned against a tree, with a folded German army sleeping mat (the ones that fold into a rectangle about 15 x 12 in) cushioning my backside, balanced on the lower crossbar. Not as comfortable as yours but still better than sitting on the ground. The square/shear lashings I learned 4 decades ago as a Boy Scout are invaluable for this type of construction, as we were not taught these in my time in the British Army.

[@johnashby2196]

Andrew, Another informative video !! Great additional information to the basics video... Thank you !!

[@Doodlefisher]

Great video! Having a high standard of perfection only ensures durability.

These skills look simple while your watching someone else do them in the comfort of your home .. But need to be practiced if you want to be as slick & quick as this man ! Good stuff thanks.

Pure and distilled knowledge, pay attention closely or miss important details.

[@kaheakruse4310]

2:48 The dig stick you’re making is called an o’o in the Hawaiian language. It is usually 5’-7’ and made from a variety of hardwoods found in Hawai’i like wiliwili, koa, ‘iliahi (Hawaiian sandalwood), kukui (Hawaiian candlenut) and was so durable, due to fire hardening and keeping it oiled to prevent boring insects and humidity, that it was passed down from one generation to the next. That simple tool, the dig stick or o’o’, kept an entire race fed and flourished for 1000 to 1700 years.

[@kevkev5935]

This was a fantastic video sir. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

[@gewamser]

I think you are the best survival instructor on youtube.

[@trammellwilliams9433]

Thank you a million times. Priceless knowledge and information. Thank you for everything in this video.

[@nevisstkitts8264]

Excellent video! It's been said the more you know, the less you need to carry. Notwithstanding that advice, IMO a basic survival skill, and an essential one is Proper Prior Planning (P3) ... For example: P3 allows one to know more through study and practice, hopefully enough to get to P7. This video is a great way to hit that P3.

[@billgrant6175]

Awesome video. Rangers and SF have amazing ancillary skills to not only survive but continue to operate with minimal or no resupply and continue to take the fight to the enemy. This day and age when most have a break down over their cold latte.

[@hiramhaji7813]

Great information

[@TheLastBoyScouts]

Good morning brother ☕️ enjoying the episode with the family. The elementary or basics are so essential, and your method of teaching is clear and concise for all ages and skill levels. I really dig the use of the braided agave cordage, many stick to paracord and are hesitant to step outside of that “survival gear box”, but I appreciate how it emulates what you can do with a natural cordage. I also appreciate the bow saw demo - buck saws are great, but in an emergency situation it’s less calories and effort over a bushcrafting buck saw. Thank you for all you do to teach and share, and motivate fellow content creators. - Scottie, TLBSS&B California, USA 🇺🇸

[@claudeoverstreet8791]

Outstanding! I always learn something from you. I’m incorporating a lot of the skills you demonstrate into my “living history” hobby.

[@SturleyArt]

[@thomasapplewhite8672]

Always informative! I watch for your videos every Sunday. Way to go, Major!

[@installtekzdotcom9777]

Excellent! I use the bow saw quite a lot. I think it might be best to remove the saw blade when not in use as the sapling memory reduces the tention over time and weakens the saw

[@garyminick1050]

That has been my same experience too !

[@edwardleonard3072]

Your approach at teaching is exemplary! Clear, precise, and well thought out. In my humble opinion, you are the best teacher on KZbin.

[@recondo4u]

Thanks Andrew!

[@kevincarter9081]

Rather than Chaga, which has other uses, I personally use horse hoof fungus ( Fomes excavatus ) which really has none. This video as usual. Is on point. Keep it up.

[@danielchase9583]

Great video , always learn something from them. Keep up the good work.👍🏻

[@michaelhallock906]

There is a lot of survival channels on KZbin some of them very good but your channel I seem to learn more and can take in your techniques easier than other channels really enjoy watching them

[@maxpinson5002]

Those reproduction tinder boxes are nice. I have the steel one they used to offer years ago. It's fairly rusty now after nearly 40 years, and i wish I'd bought the brass one. I usually leave all the char in place in the box and set the tinder bundle on top after I've caught a spark and blow it there, then put the lid right back on to smother it. I also keep other material in the box that will char with every use of the tinder box. I do the same with the altoid boxes. After gardening, some of the old dried pithy stalks ( such as okra and collards) make good char and hold a spark Thanks for the tips and the video
