[@jasongarling20]

Great video. "It's fine..just like me" had me rolling! Keep up the great work!

[@robertdepyssler2769]

I've learned more from you than anyone else. Thanks for the outstanding information.

[@vvogt4252]

Awesome Information. Duct tape and fatwood shavings, great idea.

[@vialactea9120]

One of the top bushcraft/survival channels I have seen on KZbin. Top quality information, incredibly efficiently delivered.

[@winfieldagonoy]

Top of the line quality survival and bushcrafts channel! Even got the best tunes. Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate it!

[@benterwellen]

You are the best survival skills instructor out there, Ty for sharing..

[@cindyjean3208]

I totally agree.. I’m so glad I found this channel… so many amazing videos- he has a natural talent of teaching… I need to go back and start watching them again… Happy Memorial Day .. we are still home of the brave and land of the free… God bless us

[@richardkibler3870]

Andrew,A little summertime trick I use is Vicks instead of vaseline,for cotton ball tinder.The Vicks can be rubbed on you to keep the bugs off(works very well) & Alot safer than Deet.Thanks for keeping us in the know,Cheers!!

[@PhatChin]

ooou, this Vicks Vaporub trick is pretty cool (pun intended). I'll need to try it out, thank you

[@GoldenCat-g3n]

Good trick

[@cindyjean3208]

Great idea!!!

[@JesusChrist_IsTruth-LoveForALL]

Wow, I didn't know you could rub on Vicks as a big deterrent too. Good to know! 💪

[@MasterK9Trainer]

My God Andrew you just took everything to a whole nother level. Everything you do is based on common sense and a little Ingenuity but I had never seen anybody turn their tender into nearly a powder and then put it onto tape or put it out in the sun to dry. These are the kind of things that make some KZbin videos real gems. I'm going to have to remember to tell people that if they watch your channel that this is one video they need to see

[@reginaschmid2657]

Love these short down and dirty videos! Chockfull of information, tips and tricks! Thank you for sharing! 😊 Have a great day!!😊

[@frikkiesmit327]

The duct tape with fatwood shavings is great idea and new one to me

[@pollyhatch5426]

Love the way your humor sneaks in the narrative! Appreciate the time you put into showing us how to do things. Thanks.

[@Gbo45]

Can't get any better than this channel for all your bushcraft and survival information. I'm glad this man is on our side!🇺🇲 Thank you for your service. Rangers lead the way! God bless America!

[@7switty]

Happy your intro music is back!

[@margueritemitchell1829]

Ha hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦🖐👍♥️🚐🛣🌳🌲🖼🎨🖌🍮😎🕶🤠🤴🐕🥾🏕 Love to see the practice of an injured limb/handicap scenario.

[@dannyhicks745]

The hasty fireboard is great. Less worry about keeping it dry. Outstanding.

[@jeffhowell3310]

Good informational video, definitely some ways people generally would not think of.

[@ec6052]

DON'T LIGHT YOUR LIGHTER UPSIDE DOWN! Especially a mini Bic. The fuel pours out when you press the button. Only light it straight up and it will last 20 times longer.

[@jamesabbott9970]

Mr Andrew, we really enjoy your videos. We've learned and are still learning from you. Thank you for your service, time , and information. Stay out of the skyline Sir.

[@saritaford3667]

I always learn something new through your videos. Great job again, Andrew! Bless you for your service!!!

[@anthonyhewitt6333]

You've done it again Andrew superb video one of the best survival channels on KZbin "REAL TALK" very engaging very educational

[@Oli_5.56]

Genial, danke aus Deutschland👍

[@unfi6798]

Cheers Major. Another great revision in the art of survival. Very educational cobber. Greetings from Australia.

[@bilakos1987]

I am all for learning new ways to use my tools and resources, and for making things easier and safer. Thank you for putting this video together. And for also demonstrating skills with a simple parang and a Mora. You can still do everything you need to do with budget items.

[@MasterK9Trainer]

That was a good observation. As I was watching the video I was thinking that I could do the same things he did with some of my less expensive machetes and I do happen to have some Mora knives. Increasing prices they are still bargain-priced

[@robertdodd9623]

Very Professional ! You make these skills look easy. Thanks for the tips Sir !

[@raywilliams1969]

Absolutely a fantastic video 🤙 lots of great information to put into the tool box. Thank you very much for sharing 🙏

[@CrashWizard]

I've found an 8" wood rasp works well. Half-round flat. Weighs little, use it to make tinder from anything, use fine teeth for mild knife touch-up, and carbon steel takes a spark from flint.

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks Andrew. I really like that batoning technique, it’s always safer to bring the work to the blade, versus the blade to the work. Have a great Memorial Day weekend, thank you for your service.

[@peterbogart4531]

The Skipper is back! The parang is classic, the saw a time multiplier. The char cloth takes me back to Scouting & my old soldier Scoutmaster many years ago. The several uses of the cottonwood stump & blades are ingenious. In the Arizona desert you can find cottonwood & tough cats-claw stumps still in the ground from who-knows-when. You might be able to use some as dead men for winch or come-along anchors. Spaniards, even from the 1500's, and other pioneers, modified yet-extant saguaros to indicate directions to areas of interest. Campfires in Arizona need to be very carefully controlled. Starting a felonious wildfire is too likely. A small stove on sand is usually best. .

[@darrencgrove7333]

Absolutely fantastic video as always, you’re a true Master of your craft and a natural educator, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@lawrencegaraghty3081]

Andrew thank you for doing what you do and you do it very very well learn words from you today that I have in the last seventy years of living

[@lawrencegaraghty3081]

BTW... This old 11b bravo.(68-70) Vietnam. gives special thoughts to you who has served

[@KnifeoholicDad]

“Because it is fine, just like me.” 😂😂😂👊🏻 What a fantastic video my friend!

[@PoopsSicled]

😂😂

[@bhoward9378]

Placing a knife on a wooden anvil is an effing brilliant idea. Thanks!

[@erolkavlakverizon6112]

Andrew, thank you for this video..and I like the pat on your own "fine" back..lol Salute. Sir.

[@lisamcqueen8509]

Another good one! You seem to be having alot of fun! Have a great weekend! Steve

[@clivedunning4317]

A great video, very straightforward and practical as ever. Can I just add a minor word of caution. I regularly use traditional flint and steel for firelighting. I use Andrew's method of sawing a horsehoof fungus into a grainy powder for getting a ember. A pie tin (Fray Bentos my preferred choice) is great for holding this powder. This method works and is a lot quicker and practical than processing amadou from the fungus. However, please be careful when practicing your firelighting skills. The sparks can take some time to start smouldering, almost lying 'dormant'. This can cause problems if you finish practice and put the fungus powder into storage , check it to make sure a unnoticed ember hasn't started. For some reason this is more of a problem when using a traditional firesteel, it does not seem to be such a problem when using a ferrocerium rod. Stay safe, happy trails, keep up the good work.

[@charliewright4396]

As usual your videos are outstanding and full of invaluable and helpful information. Thanks so much for continuing to share your knowledge and experience. Charlie -Salem Oregon.

[@nauticalknotcraft]

One of the best channels on YT. Great job as always Andrew. Thanks.

I like how their are very few or any trolls in your videos. Thanks for the content Andrew.

[@NewHampshireJack]

We like it! There appear to be no limits on the variations of proven techniques.

[@kevinedward1234]

One of the best teachers out there for our community,,, if not the best!

[@andrewgorden1041]

I’ve made some mighty fine material -just like myself out in the field just as you have! All kidding aside this was a mighty fine video just like all of your videos-always love the straightforward, no fluff, pure information approach. Thank you!

[@JesusSaves86AB]

Another great video. I dig the canteen charcloth tip. God bless.

[@sketchyketchup]

Fantastic video. Love practical experiences to enjoy while camping.

[@lorkainenkingg8497]

Right on target, Andrew! Thanks!

Thank you for this video. Excellent guidance and techniques! You always provide great tips and techniques, straight to the point, no fluff, no beating around the bush.

[@bigjhunter7660]

That’s some great information there sir 👍🏻 thanks.

[@Jaden48108]

Well done! Learned so much in 16 minutes.

[@josephmarciano4761]

Outstanding teaching moments, as always . . . and lots of fun to watch! But what did you expect from a guy who ate a mouse to educate the class.

[@jamescrowe7892]

Too easy. Most excellent video. Definitely more tools you wouldn't necessarily think about for your tool box. Ranger on.

[@davekelly9657]

Thanks Andrew for sharing these skills. That shamag made enough char cloth for several fire kits.🗡️🗡️🔱🔥⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@ronaldfeagle8231]

Absolutely the best out there. I'm always looking forward to the next one.

[@kingsclownvideos]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@g221911g]

Excellent video!

[@asmith7876]

That last one was pretty slick. I still cringe in horror when I see the clip of the woman on Alone nailing her hand with her axe while simply trying to do what you just did. Excellent video, but then they all are. As for the one-handed stuff, I’d been camping for nearly 40 years and had myself an accident. Had to break camp and hike out one-handed. Stuff happens!

[@jeffdoellinger9976]

Great video! Very good info to have. Thanks for sharing!

[@willbedone777]

Outstanding video! Thanks 👍👍

[@Bigfezzig]

Great info. Keep up the great work man!

[@vincegonzales6196]

Old 11Bravo here..sir I do enjoy your videos and insights on military survival theory...please continue to use military kit in your videos also any issued survival items from the Army..Vince g 11B infantry. 😊

[@andrewheynig2721]

One thing I have been wondering about. Why can't you use the burn hole more than once. I didn't burn all the way through.

[@MichaelR58]

Good informational video Andrew , thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@TheUglyAmerican007]

Good stuff

[@craigvermillion8244]

Great video Andrew. I've been using a parang for a few years and like the versatililty. Keep them coming.

[@danieljones2183]

You almost knocked me over "fine ... Just like me" I'm still chuckling. Great demos by the way.

[@claudeoverstreet8791]

Andrew, awesome as always. I learn something new every time I sit down and watch your videos.

[@FidoHouse]

Your video is "so fine, just like me" . Thank you for teaching us all these excellent fire-starting techniques.

[@DIEmicrosoft]

Cool vid, For the first one, would you be better off transferring the dust to the tinder before lighting it? I can imagine a stray gust blowing it everywhere.

[@samikhal5455]

“Fine like me” lol. Funny guy. Great to see you had time to make another wonderful video.

[@pnyarrow]

Hi Andrew. Thanks for 10 more for the tool box especially those for injured or reduced body strength survivors. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel

[@axistec]

Man, keep doing what you're doing. Best skills on KZbin. No nonsense 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ShadowWarriorsSurvival]

Love these high speed low drag videos

[@MarkYurasits]

Wonderful video Sir! You are a great teacher which enables us to learn all of your valuable survival and bushcraft knowledge and skills! Keep up the great work, you're helping us to help ourselves!!

[@NismoXero]

Really like the one handed techniques. Never know what condition you'll be in when you're needing that fire!

[@w.p.958]

Excellent video for fire starting! These techniques seem like anyone could use them if they just follow the instructions. Love the no bs hard charging delivery. True military instructor!

[@cindyjean3208]

Happy Memorial Day!!! I am amazed at your consistent posting of survival knowledge… I’m thankful for your dedication to your craft… Your dedication along with your talents of teaching is a blessing… May all be well with you and your family… May God continue to bless you and your channel

[@paulzimmerman3895]

Hot stuff! Thank you Andrew!

[@LarrySchneider-u6v]

Thanks, Andrew, the video is right to the point with a little bit of humor. I'm glad you point things out that isn't obvious in the images, like, the shavings from the fat wood that did not blow away. Good point! Also, I didn't realize you could get dust from sawing a mushroom. I do realize it would have to be dry. Great job on the video.
