When I married my wife, I had an LL Bean queen size wool trapper blanket. She washed it one day. Now I have really heavy, thick, single size wool trapper blanket. But, it is warm!

[@cmsag7428]

Thank you for being real. Have watched several channels, and they all devolve into commercials - touting some lame monthly "survival" subscription deal that has over priced crap. Really appreciate an honest person. Thanks again.

[@BandGeek2210]

Value of a good wool blanket…..CAN NOT BE EMPHASIZED ENOUGH! Great job!

[@stevenkeithley4336]

It's good to see another video Andrew, was starting to get a little worried bud. Stay safe n be well. As always looking forward to the next one, keep em coming...

👍 Long Live the Republic 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@GruntProof]

Outstanding!

[@barrycartner3855]

Thank you for demonstrating how minimal does not always mean a knife. I see too many videos in which the knife is the basic cutting tool. Granted it lends itself to many uses and is easier to carry; however, it also tends to infer that a knife is too important. I am reminded of Otzi the iceman's kit. A knife and an axe. We tend to focus on a knife much like focusing on a firearm. We lose sight of the axe and its multiple uses if pressed into service. So thanks for featuring the axe.

[@jojoe2409]

I like your videos for survival because you go out and demonstrate what your talking about. Thanks again.

[@Just_Chuck_It]

The best fast and effective improvised shelter I have ever seen and used was one that my grandpa told me about. All you need is a poncho. Make a debris bed or even sit on your pack, dawn poncho, lean up against whatever. If you need warmth, start a small fire and boil water. Then move away from your fire spot. Place hot canteen between your legs and allow the canteen heat along with your body heat to heat your small enclosed "shelter". If something spooks you or if you feel the need to move. All you have to do is stand up grab your pack and move.

[@jddenson435]

Starting to wonder if you fell off the earth. Great video. Salute

[@not1just4words]

5 C's! Thanks Ranger!

[@margueritemitchell1829]

Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦

[@xionix4]

I was concerned that my current survival kit wouldn't be up to the challenge of winter, but you have reassured me. :) Thanks Andrew.

[@jadedillon5201]

If I could pick someone to accompany me when next I am in a wilderness survival situation it would be you, Andrew.

[@stuartadair7052]

Great video. That looks like an old Coleman Peak 1 Billycan.... wish they still made them.

[@Just_Chuck_It]

Love a small hatchet. So useful. Really should build your bed against a large stump, rock, or build a wall then have your fire with its own wall behind it to push the heat into you and then bunch off the barrier on the other side. This radiant heat will not only keep you warmer but it will allow you to have a much smaller fire and use less wood.

[@idiothenk]

Finally a new video! :) Awesome work brother, keep it up. Always learning something new and it’s much appreciated!

[@thomastrieschmann2682]

I had already been watching your videos when Corporal's Corner refered me to tour Channel. One thing CC does is look for a branch that has one straight tine and two oblique tines on either side of the straight and use it like a broom to sweep leaves. For small areas using your foot works also.

[@stevenkeithley4336]

Out of all the videos I watch on KZbin I really enjoy yours the most, like I said keep em coming bud. 👍😉🤙

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Andrew, what I particularly like about "5" vids, is that it pushes the boundaries of the selected 5 and as a result, forces one to think outside the box. If you have more items, well and good, apply the same logic to those too. Being winter specific, I'm surprised no tarp, but I guess you do have the tools and natural resources, (and perhaps trash), to build a shelter, so fair enough mate. Cheers Duke.

[@devildogsbushcraft7898]

As usual, a quality video. Thanks Andrew.

[@michaellee6167]

Good to see your videos...good job...freedom for all people...

[@noptsdwn]

Andrew! A great presentation on a minimal kit so you can winter time smooth it!

[@jeffhowell3310]

Excellent video. Always like watching your videos

[@garyjohnson4608]

Awesome video !! The best on youtube !!!!!!

[@joshuahaugen8541]

Love the channel Corporal sent me over here !

[@bumpstaggers4177]

Great use of a minimal kit sir.

[@vvogt4252]

Excellent Video Brother! Thanks for everything you do to teach us. Cheers.

[@modemode3663]

I liked the adjustable pot hanger outstanding sir🤘

[@denvercriss78]

Always looking forward to your uploads hooah!

[@hiramhaji7813]

Great video, going out tonight, in the swamp low 35 in town so it will be at least 25 to 27 out there

[@DeeminD]

I probably won't ever use this info, but I just love watching your videos! Thank you.

[@dannyh9010]

Nice Roycroft frame. I always lash on another 8-10” horizontal stick about 8” down from the top of the frame. That way I can easily use my ridgeline as the lashing for the blanket/tarp by going around the tips of all 4 points and not using the top except for the shoulder straps.

[@adamedwards2261]

Great minimalist kit. I add the edc multi tool as well.

[@rooster4669]

I retired from the army. Now I’m taking some local survival classes. The last part phase 4 is 5 days knife only. I got time I just finished phase 2. But dam 5 days with only a knife and the clothes on your back. It’s going to be one hell of a challenge.

[@preppercowboy8875]

And also. Hand made Native or Mexican throw blankets cannot be beat! Wool blankets are the only thing comparable! Just IMO. 😉👍

[@susanp.collins7834]

What about a serape?

[@lanecountybigfooters5716]

Excellent minimalist video. Good info and thank you for the examples. I'd beg for six, though - and add a tarp.

[@bknollman]

Thanks Andrew! Always good informative content!

[@davidmace3310]

Great vid! Great kit. I’ll have to add a carpenter axe to my kit soon. Thx.🇺🇸👍

[@martinrascon1350]

Another fantastic survivalist video learned alot

[@rogueraven7603]

It’s good to have a good ax. Great video

[@Medictrent]

Enjoyed the video as always. I particularly like that most videos you cover survival scenarios from both sides of wanting to be rescued and not be found.

[@nauticalknotcraft]

Another great one! Straight up, right to the point, love it. Always something to learn. Thanks Andrew, respect and appreciation.

[@outdooraf]

Your intro tune sounds like the intro to This Old House!

[@davidjacobs828]

You just know if you ask the major where he's Been, he's gonna reply.. "that's classified" 😎👍

[@chrismoore600]

Very cool

[@bradwilson7514]

Good Video, good minimal kit. Plenty of Locust and Hedge Apple trees here in Southern Illinois. Hard to handle, but good for fence posts and burns hot.

[@rodneyconner3373]

Shawn Kelley turned me on to your videos. I have watched a few and must tell you that you are on the money. Your videos are informative and for the most part spot on. Congratulations on your selection to the Major's list. You are a quite gifted young man. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@melneeds6358]

try adding a 3 x3 firebox stove , cut 10 times less wood, boil any amount of water, and it fits in your pocket . Remember- White man builds great big fire ,stands back freezes, indian builds small fire, stays close , and stays warm.

[@dwaynewalker986]

A word about Axe/Hatchet / Tomahawk for winter use. When temperatures remain below freezing over time the moisture in wood will freeze. Trying to cut frozen wood with a knife isn't easy. In my opinion.....Axe / Hatchet / Tomahawk is still King of the Woods no matter what season . Have a way to re-sharpen , and always work on an improvised anvil when possible. P.S.- Most of the little stuff that was cleared off the trees and limbs could have been hammered off with the poll.

[@veteranpatriot4474]

Loved it , Especially with everything going on in the world, It is necessary for people to know and practice basic survival skills.

[@daddysbees3698]

Howdy. This was totally awesome of what you did with a minimum of 5 tools!

[@chriskeating5926]

OUTSTANDING PER USUAL THANKS MAJOR, RLTW

[@backyardoutdoorsman8282]

Real and to the point. I enjoy your videos. Your Bushcraft projects are always practical and welcomed. Shawn Kelly was right when he said that you should have more subs. Your content is excellent. Thanks. Keep up the great work Andrew.

[@kilotangoxray]

Andrew - big fan - I like the minimalist videos! Looking forward to the next one

[@bhappy5510]

You are really awesome. I love your intro music.

Cowabunga Major! Will try minimalist kit on the weekend. Thank you for the survival class. Stay safe mate. Greetings from Australia.

[@michellehommes9773]

Oh that venison that ran by would fill my freezer nicely :)

[@tracycannaday1406]

Keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@Subdood04]

Been a fan of hammer poll small axes for a long time. A lot of utility in a small package.

[@garywood702]

As always, top notch content!

[@azizsalimazizsalim3380]

Good 👍 🦸‍♂️

[@chasepetty5659]

Great video Andrew thanks for sharing and great ideas!! 👍

[@DF4Trap]

Another great video, thanks for sharing.

[@les3449]

I'm going back in your video list and this one, as usual, is a great, to the point, down and dirty instruction video!

[@frankstopa6270]

Excellent video! Thank you.

[@michaelcarswell3812]

I always learn so much from your videos less is more and working smarter not harder! keep up the good work!

[@Patriot-American]

Andrew ... you are putting out some quality videos sir. Always enjoy your content and it's top notch... Stay safe and thanks ...

[@craftingontheporchwithbill]

Excellent video. You clearly show and demonstrate the core basics and 5 C tools, then stop.Thank you.

[@sifusasdo2314]

Cool Video 👍 Thank U for the Info and the Links 👍

[@paulzimmerman3895]

Less is more! The more I train in the Sangre De Cristos, the more I'm becoming a believer in minimalists kits. The more you know...Thanks for detail on the frame. Very helpful.

[@kevinwiens4804]

I have been looking all over the internet for that simple frame pack..too

[@BullzEye63]

Great content 🎯🎯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@robertott2631]

Awesome., very cool video.,

[@monlonlabe5016]

[@williamspaid7929]

Awesome video as always, my Sundays aren't complete without you and Cpl.Kelly!

[@jacquiblanchard3131]

Great demo, Andrew! Thanks!

[@AnyDayNow360]

Always appreciate your videos and you taking the time to share your knowledge with us. Always!

[@titotrueba3332]

hey Andrew I live way south pass the border were the winter is not harsh at all, but temps could drop down to the 20’s, I find more useful in my case a chopper rather than a hatchet maybe because machetes are widely use here and I feel more comfortable with that kind of tool something like the gerber golok or tops el chete, one thing I definitely will try is the pot, great videos, keep them coming!

[@ticiewilder7760]

I’m really learning a lot you explain everything to make it simple to understand and that is great , Thank you for your Service to the great USA , and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us , all the best to you sir😊

[@magicman2324]

Nice kit! Great video!

[@tenchraven]

Nicely done, I've said for years that in winter forest, I'd give up a knife for an small axe or long hatchet. Your five are the hatchet, cookpot, paracord, blanket and ferro rod. So where did the mule tape for the frame come from? 😁If you're not cheating, you're not trying.

[@modemode3663]

Its all cordage🤘

[@tenchraven]

@@modemode3663 Note my last sentence- I approve of cheating.

[@thisandthatwithmatt]

Great video. Very good use of the 5 “C”s. Loved the resourcefulness. Thanks for sharing.

[@runningriverbushcraft]

Andrew, Another Awesome Video of survival in the Winter Bush..

[@thaddeusmikolajczyk4518]

Very useful info thanks for sharing.

[@TressaZimmerman]

I have watched a bunch if survival and camping type videos. I have heard them say that not to breathe into your sleeping bag because of condensation inside the bag.

[@BennyHill8844]

I just stumbled onto this channel, I like what this guys teaching. I give it a thumbs up and I will subscribe thanks for the video, I will check out other videos from your channel too.

[@saritaford3667]

Always great videos!

[@markh5889]

Excellent! Thanks

[@lewisvillalta2492]

Outstanding survival ideas Andrew thank you very much, stay safe God bless you always

[@rdmiller512]

Glad to see another video. Very informative as usual. Thank you for your service to this great country. HOOAH Scouts Out.

[@kennedymcleod1479]

I would include a 5x7 or larger light weight tarp in case of wet weather. Being wet in the cold is dangerous.

[@richdillon1221]

Great videos as always best out there

[@corleyoutdoors2887]

I love minimal kits, it’s easier on the brain.

[@kevinwiens4804]

Andrew thanks for keeping your videos professional and "Family friendly" I love sharing your content, I am very glad that I don't have to explain to my Royal Rangers ( a church cub scout group ) and my 5 yr. old granddaughter what the abbreviation easy "AF" stands for.. seriously cool..

[@wmluna381]

😄

[@JH-6]

Love the information. Always entertaining and educational. I'll be out there soon but I'm bringing some food with me.
