Military Survival Knife Field Skills! Tips and Tricks!

[@dalcassian9098]

As a teacher not in the US), I can say that Andrew is a great teacher.. Concise, easy to understand and presents his content in a way that's memorable and easy to implement

[@j.robertsergertson4513]

Exactly!

[@eliot1970]

I suspect that's true. And as a teacher you are very brave to rough this crowd. So many of his viewers would refer to you directly as a communist paedophile. Unfortunate but true.

[@davidroberts1816]

Wholeheartedly agree,top lad

[@Sojourner8]

It is wiser to have respect and gratitude for both of these men's channels and ongoing service so we can actually learn from them.

[@docred4739]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@dragonmanbi]

100% agree with you. Respect and eternal gratitude to this fellas that teach us real Man skills that can make a difference between life and death. Salute.

[@garyblucker3206]

Both? I only saw one man (Andrew). Who is the other?

[@darkframepictures]

This guy knows his shit.

[@susanp.collins7834]

​@@dragonmanbiWhy 'man' skills? You need to read a book called 'The Valley Of Horses' by Jean Auel, about a Stone Age girl who is ejected from her clan and goes off on her own and survives.

[@Ironfangzu]

To everyone out there watching this video, or any other kind of survival, let em offer this one piece of advice. After you have bought a functional bushcraft survival knife, after you have packed tinder into your survival pack, and added cordage, a tarp, a flashlight, don't put the pack away. The most important piece of equipment you will ever have with you, is YOU. So, take your pack out into your back yard, or the woods behind your house. Now, practice gathering firewood. Practice batoning pieces of deadwood into firewood. Practice making feathersticks. Practice lighting a fire with your Bic lighter, then with matches, and finally with a ferro rod. Practice tying some lines between trees and making a shelter with your tarp. All of this can be surprisingly hard, even in your backyard. If you are ever actually on the trail, out in the woods, miles and miles from help, it will be MUCH harder to do these things without practice. Buying gadgets isn't that useful. Buying good equipment like a good knife or camp hatchet, or even a folding saw, are all helpful. But what will be the most important thing is your ability to actually use your equipment, and everything will be a hundred times easier if you've actually practiced doing it before you find yourself out in the wilderness with just your pack and your skills.

[@shanesims2864]

Amen brother 👍🏻 It want do you any good in a backpack 🎒 if you don’t no how to use it .

[@Subdood04]

“Just like the bark, but completely different.” Another excellent video / instruction block. “…fine, just like me.” 😂

[@hagman1077]

Cool stuff here from someone who knows what they are doing and saying. I spent over 22 years in the service and simple stuff like this can make the difference. Remember the acronym KISS and Andrew does on most of his videos. Thanks for another cool video and demonstrations- Hooooaahhh-

[@SoldierDrew]

When I went through Army wilderness survival course a buddy who was an E7 18 Bravo in 5th Group advised me not to take a big single blade sheath knife that other guys typically carry on their one knife packing list. He advised me to take a Victorinox Swiss Army pocket knife that includes the wood saw blade as my one knife allowed on the packing list. I was able to complete all bushcraft & survival tasks before my peers whom brought a fixed single blade sheath knife. The spine on the wood saw blade strikes a ferocium rod well. The two knife blades, the awl /reamer, cork screw and even the tweezers along with the wood saw allowed me to do everything required. I can use the pocket knife blade to quickly carve a wedge to split fire wood so never had to baton my knife. The wood saw cut notches perfectly.

[@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft]

Agreed. I think a Multitool of some sort and a simple folder can do a lot. I carried a Leatherman Super Tool 300 and a Benchmade Griptilian through training and used those for basically everything. The “knife” I was issued was a Gerber FML. The only thing it was good for was digging a hole. It rattled when I shook it and the serrations were sharpened off from repeated use.

[@garyabernathy6225]

I agree with the Swiss Army knife to take with you, mine is the fieldmaster model. A great pocket knife that does everything. However I feel better with a straight edge knife as well, mine is the Gerber Strong Arm that I have mounted on my backpack with my skill set. The Strongarm isnt the most popular knife but it does bushcraft duty also. I feel better with both.

[@Swearengen1980]

@@garyabernathy6225 There are probably better, more sturdy options than a Swiss Army. Clay Hayes won "Alone" with the Leatherman P4 and seeing the things he did with that, I have a hard time believing any SAK I've ever had would stand up to that abuse.

[@makinganoise6028]

The UK is very oppressive with knife regulations, so a Swiss Army style is often, legally the safer choice if going anywhere like hiking trails, where other people around. I keep a Mora in my pack, for more remote places, but not on display, if a single night wilcamp, I may dispense and just take a leatherman or Swiss army.

[@glenngriffon8203]

A MultiTool is a “Must Have. Don’t buy Pieces of Crap. You will Regret it. Spend your money on one from the Leatherman Range. I have several and the first one I purchased is still functional. There is an old saying, you only buy cheap Tools once. This is your Survival ….Do you really want to buy junk? Purchase good equipment and it will last you forever

[@MT-mb4yl]

Someone sign this guy up for the outdoor channel or discovery. Amazingly concise and knowledgeable survivalist skills teacher.!!!!

The best way to thank a teacher is to master the skills and teach others to do the same

[@asmith7876]

Love the military style of teaching…Corporal’s Corner was my introduction to KZbin some years ago (I’m an old fart) and I was immediately drawn to the no-nonsense style that I remember from the Army. I didn’t care for the peace-time Army of the 80’s, too interested in buffing floors and shining boots than being good at your actual JOB, but I’ll say one thing, the Army knows how to beat a skill into you! Glad you made it to retirement which I hope is many more years than you served! The Pathfinder School is blessed to have you.

[@jakqup]

Every book says to use magnetized needle as compass, but You are the very first one who told me How to magnetized needle. This is one of the best survival skills video i saw on YT. You are awesome.
