Bad ass!

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

Got that CS shovel in my vehicle right now! Awesome tool.

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

What knife did you carry on this adventure?

[@AlexanderPowell-yc8pe]

Just discovered your channel. You were an infantry pl, anti tank pl, and mi pl? You rebranched multiple times? And spent how much time as a pl?

[@mikeemmons1079]

I feel like selecting less straight branches for your support poles would go a long way. Esp. if you leave some smaller branches on. Rather than whittling it smooth. Maybe digging up a patch of longer grass from a different spot, disguising that scar anyway, of course, and planting it like a sod plug in front of the entrance? The eye is less likely to find those straight lines you cant escape.

[@johnnyj222]

I used a poncho as a tarp tent for years after learning the technique as an infantryman. Since I wasn’t worried about a defensible position I could use some bungee cords and have it set up in a few minutes. My son and I could rest comfortably without too much work and have a multiple use item for shelter and rain.

[@martinbeagley4481]

Yes bungees are awesome and really allow you some speed and flexibility. Nice thing is you can use them in a linear fashion full length or you can double them over and tie a knot so you can anchor two eyelets with one bungee and one peg. I do this on my Hungarian Lavvu poncho halves. Useful as you can have one side of the tarp or poncho dead level with ground to keep out the wind but the other side can be adjusted to give some ground level ventilation

[@maxpinson5002]

Yes Many people overthink their cover for an overnighter

[@hlriiiviiiv]

My entire 4 yr enlistment as an infantryman, my issuedtent never left my barracks closet. We never needed more than the poncho.

I have a ranger handbook but it's cool to see the information inside that book come to life. Please keep doing these types of videos

Yeah, it's a lot different when the cadre is projecting their voices as they called, it... I call it yelling REALLY FKN loud,😂😂😂😂

[@bugoutbrad8395]

Great video Andrew. Thank you. Cheers 🍻

[@chrislisle3101]

In Ranger School, we were required to dig them long enough for our body plus our rucksack at our feet. Carry two sandbags for frontal bullet protection and fill with dirt from hole you dig

[@johnjanuary2958]

Thank you for your added tips.

[@jasoncarson369]

Great Information 👍

[@mikeemmons1079]

Well, he wanted to dig as little as possible. Still, it needed to be said. Any suggestions for an improvised sandbag? Cloth grocery bags work you figure? Zip ties to close the bag/compress the sand?

[@chrislisle3101]

@ good question and probably a cloth grocery bag would work just fine, even a pillow case, though not as durable as a sandbag. Ranger graves not only get one below ground and harder to hit, they help hide your heat signature from an enemy at ground level using thermals.

[@ChaosSwing]

Wow so good❤

[@N.A.H.S.Camping]

Thank’s for this man. I’m starting up a school camp club, and my main worry is human threats, so being able to conceal our tents (we are using single person, low profile tents designed for stealth camping), and with all the new threats this is extremely helpful.

[@guadalupeskitchen3734]

Wow! A lot of work but if it saves your life and or provides a defendable position or concealed rack ops then this is what you do. A lot of lessons in this.

[@thedude883]

Peter has gone off the deep end lately.

[@MarcMallary]

Drones with thermal detection seem like a coming thing. Thermal camouflage might be a help. Maybe some space blankets.

[@N.A.H.S.Camping]

Space blankets would only increase your thermal signature wouldn’t they?

[@MrVegasTube]

​@@N.A.H.S.Camping No it will serve as concealment against thermal where the poncho alone will not.

[@scottallen7484]

This is a Legit thing in Ukraine at the moment

[@penjelajahsumatera]

Wow.. great. I will make a video like this also in the forests of Sumatra - Indonesia. Thank you for inspiring.

[@johnvargas8841]

Hell yea brother. The only thing i would add is cammie netting before the veg-up. Leaves will stick to it better, breaks up those lines and makes a door for the shelter

[@leglpcks]

cool!

[@MarilynStangl]

I learned this a little differently. Where/how do you hide your loaded spare poncho as that shape would stick out a little bit and anyone approaching from your rear (your audible blind spot) that spotted it would possibly sound an alarm (silent?) and initiate a search for you! The main difference that i was taught is to use a long pole about 1 1/2 times your body length with crossed sticks at about the 1/3, 2/3 and about a foot from the open end using slip knots to tie them together. Instead of removing the excavated dirt, you start in the length-wise center, sweeping the ground clutter off to both sides, cutting and peeling back the top layer of vegetation/roots/soil outward from the center like you're cutting grass sod! Dig the hole a little wider at the open end to give you easier access and a place to put your extra gear (BOB). Dig your hole a little lower at the open end and add a small trench along one side to allow for ground water/rain to drain out. Any extra loose dirt should be scattered over a good amount of area! Cover the wooden framework with your poncho/tarp, rolling the strips of sod back over the poncho/tarp, then sprinkle the ground clutter over the entire structure keeping a small pile near the open end to use to quickly visionally close off that end if necessary. A small net with local debris imbedded in it makes this much easier and if you're using binoculars with reduce the ability for someone else to see into your shelter! Place that spare poncho/tarp on the floor of the shelter to stay dry and more comfortable! To restore/take down the structure just roll back the sod again, remove your poncho/tarp, release the slip knots allowing the pole and cross piece to fall into the hole, roll the sod back in and use the ground clutter to make it match the surrounding area! There will probably be a slight depression left but not enough for it to be easily spotted! Thanks for the video, brings back lots of memories!

[@peterbogart4531]

T Y for this one!

[@robertwillis4061]

Not been in the forces. But I saw a different way of this. They stacked in an irregular pattern the blocks of turf at the sides of the trench. So too act as a shrapnel block in case of enemy fire. They also showed that it as quicker to tidy up afterwards. Both are just as good and in the right conditions neither is incorrect

[@charliejones7574]

NICE LOAM!!! you don't find that in Missouri/Arkansas. You get ROCKS

Thanks for your service my brother . Subscribed from this video, not because I learned anything but because how you explain things . No offense ment on not learning just happens I was blessed to be raised by retired special forces vet that spent time on far off 2man units 😶🙈🙉🙊 looking forward to the rest of your videos in sure you'll end up teaching me a new way to do a few things .
