After years of watching camping and survival videos non KZbin and feeling like I had exhausted all the content the algorithm gods shined on me and suggested your channel. I have been making my way through your back catalogue and enjoying them thoroughly! Another excellently produced, informative and entertaining video here, great work mate and keep them coming!

[@cindyjean3208]

I have watched all of his videos… Don’t think I’ve missed one… This man is so dedicated to his field of expertise and sharing with us!!! He’s a great teacher.. I have learned so much… and continue to learn.., Welcome to this channel… We are indeed blessed… 😊

What this guy said, I actually learn a lot from this channel. Love it hope he keeps it up

Nice and relaxing trip to the river. I love seeing all the tips played out and demonstrated in a beautiful setting. Thanks for sharing

[@paulzimmerman3895]

Simply put, a beautiful film! One of my favorites in the whole history of the channel. Brought a lot of stuff together in one well done video. Bad ass and peaceful all at the same time. Yin & Yang for sure! Thank you for your service, Andrew.

[@joshua-s]

Awesome video. I especially liked the socks over the boots tip. I haven't seen that one before. That would've been really useful to know, when I spent some time out in the desert. Air your socks out and keep critters out of your boots. Double win!

Another great video Andrew! And on this Memorial Day weekend I On this Memorial Day weekend, I wish to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all of our men and women of our armed forces who have sacrificed themselves for their fellow soldiers, airmen, marines and coast guardsmen, as well as their families!! EVERYDAY should be a day in remembrance of those who fought and died! RIP brothers and sisters, for you are not forgotten... Personally, I remember my 2/75 Ranger buddy and friend Randy Shughart!!

This was a very enjoyable video. Looks like you had a good time and enjoyed yourself. Looking forward to seeing more of these type of videos along with your normal instructional videos.

Definetely one of your best videos by far! Even for an old boy,I learnt a couple of things.Great little spot there and what could be better than one night is two or more.I loved the using of the iron sighted .22.Took me back to my boyhood and the times I trained my kids in hunting and marksmanship.Great memories.Keep up the great work Andrew and I hope you gain a lot more followers and hits for this masterpiece.Stay safe and well,Regards Rocky

The Major has consistently shown that you don’t have to have a full tang knife if you recognize the limitations of your knife. If you notice, he always has his Mora Companion HD. Always carry the right tool for the job. Another informative and beneficial video. Thanks!

[@alanrice39]

I agree with that knife statement.

[@mortem-tyrannis]

Yeah but why limit yourself more by not having one?

[@jaredrutledge8618]

@@mortem-tyrannis its nor really limiting yourself its learning to work with what you have a full tang is great and all but what if you dont have that or even worse cant afford that you have to improvise with what you have plus the mora companion is a beast

[@mortem-tyrannis]

@@jaredrutledge8618 oh I understand stand that, I understand improvising learning to use what you have. There's no reason why someone can't have a full tang knife in this time plenty of cheap quality full tangs. Chosing not to buy a full tang is limiting yourself, don't put yourself in a position where you have to improvise or work harder because you chose to buy a lesser knife. I'm not saying I'm right just the way I see it, practice with everything to be familiar but don't limit yourself to a lesser knife make sure to carry a full tang and if your caught in a situation you have it.

I just completed 61 days out of my bugout bag. My bag is 19.8 lbs. I have 31 years survival experience. I had a blast. Ate like a king every night. I still do miliary hikes.

[@bobg.8954]

27 minutes and 52 seconds of complete silence other than the sounds of nature and it's still one of the best survival videos I've ever seen, all show and do, proving a Ranger can instruct without ever speaking a word! Excellent job Andrew.

[@jaxsaltfish015]

This was one of your best videos. The ASMR format was cool. I really liked the single shot .22LR rifle. It reminded me of childhood, thanks.

[@eireanneruss9325]

Running commentary: Clearing the rifle prior to setting it down…the details count! Liked the bow, arrows could use some upgrade…would like to see more of that kind of stuff That flashlight trick was DOPE! Socks over boots…started doing that in1990s, but haven’t seen anyone else do it, especially on youtube - dries socks and keeps critters out of boots.

[@jamescrowe7892]

A non talkie and in color. Your camera does excellent close up work. Your spot looked like a great place to unwind. It surprises me that your poncho doesn't melt while smoking Buggs Bunny. One shot - one kill. Oh, I hope that doesn't send any of the fragile little YT snowflakes into hysterics. Major, hope you have a great Memorial Day. Thank you for your service.

[@turtlewmiller]

Nice video! It never hurts to pick up a thing or two. I really want to work on a pack thats minimal, and not a full 65L hiking pack lol. I always learn something from you

[@pierreaucoin2480]

I think this was a fitting day for a non verbal video. We give thanks for those that gave all. Major, your videography is really good. That part where you’ve made a fire and set up the camera to catch the sunrise…. Then as you arise you can see your breath….. top shelf video work my friend. Worthy of the day. Thanks for that.

[@irvingramirez4614]

Andrew, that was a very nice and sweet video on survival 👌 👍. I just love ❤️ watching your channel and you demonstrating how it gets done in almost any situation, hoo-aah Ranger.

I remember writing the master lesson plan for a Canadian army engineer course on water purification: "the stream you are drinking from could have a dead sheep laying in it just up stream..." As Andrew throws the rabbit skin into the creek!

Great video! All show and no tell videos are great cause there’s no language barrier and it doesn’t matter if your horse from last nights ball game. Liked the fast made bow too.

Good idea, making a smoker with tarp and tripod to put over fire. love smoked meat.

Outstanding! Fun to watch. Here, it's been hot, dry (memory of last rain's gotten to be a long hike back to that file cabinet), very windy (lots of dust in the air),they closed the national forest due to fire hazard, so i get to spend some time outdoors from my living room, been missing it. Thank you. Ya, i love my vintage bolt action, single shot (all you should really need is 1... ) .22 with iron sights. Like the Direct Action Dust backpack, nice. (some may be wondering about that) But, iduhknow, anybody ever tell you you talk too much? Maybe a little less 'splainin... Cheers! 🙂

[@cindyjean3208]

A single shot .22 sure makes one pay closer attention to their accuracy… I was raised shooting a single shot.. and now, with the price of ammo? I was also impressed with his homemade bow…

So many great survival techniques in one video. I have a tip: attach your bungee cords to the webbing loops on the outside of your pack - you can hold additional items with them and you don't risk the hooks damaging anything inside your pack

Ok now, hold on,....what happened with the worm? Like, we didn't see you catching any fish! I don't think tossing the rabbit entrails into the river was a good idea. Unless maybe bears, other similar carnivores are in the area that might be unexpected unwelcome visitors. Maybe use the rabbit entrails to snag/trap crawdads? Ah, but must not harvest too much food because refrigeration not available. Can you carry that smoked rabbit a few days for travel snacks? Can I start a fire with a 9 volt battery and 0000 steel wool? Guess I need to attempt! Would human hair substitute for the 0000 steel wool? Hmmm.... Good episode! Create a few more demonstrating other tool/crafts in alternative environments. Desert in summer??? Badlands in summer??? And tricks/tips for bear resistance? Methods/Items in the pack to set perimeter alarm? Nows the time!!!

At 7:19 I noticed that the soil in your op area is VERY dark. THAT is very nutrient packed soil! You should be able to grow ANYTHING in that ground!

[@aubreygmcghee]

Thanks for sharing. I'm curious you drew water from and boiled it which removes any bacteria. How do you filter out any chemicals that might be in the water? Many of the Rivera lakes and streams are no longer free if various chemicals that often get into the ground water. How do you protect yourself from such chemicals?

[@jenniferbauman4802]

Great video. That jerky looks good. Don't worry about what you threw in the water. Mr. Turtle gonna eat it all up . The bow was way cool. And the smoke grenade Was good to. Some one rescue him all ready. Whate for the chopper. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Ok, from one survival guy to another, at minute 7:15 you should of realized that you could make millions selling that rich black topsoil full of worms, then cut down all of the trees and backfill all of the streams, make two mcdonalds and three kfc's, build yourself a parking lot (rent by the hour) then say bye bye to camping and living off of swamp water! thanks i'll be here all week!

[@xcskier871]

Thanks for the great video. As some of the other commenters said, it also reminded me of my teenage years spending time in the bush by a creek. Looks like your property is blessed with a plethora of fish and wildlife. I think eating the opossum would be a very last resort for me. Here's a tip for casting lead. When you're melting lead, unless it is pure, the other elements such as tin start to separate out. Before you cast, drop a piece of paraffin, bees wax. When the wax melts ignite the vapors then stir the pot. Better yet look for some hardened pine rosin to crush. Pine rosin is the same stuff used as a soldering flux. Use the powdered rosin the same as the wax, and always make sure you have good ventilation. Thank you for your service to our country. I truly appreciate the safety and freedom given to us by people like yourself.

[@lesmontgomery7]

Great video Andrew! Thanks. Nothing but skills in action!

[@Minuteman_Expeditions-wo2cp]

How come everybody's bugout bag on KZbin is so small? There's plenty of gear stuffed in there, but no room for food or water. I feel less than prepared with anything less than a half gallon of water in my bag, and often carry more than that. You could realistically travel miles on foot between water sources. Then there's food. You'll be burning more carbs than usual in the field, on a daily basis, so why do most bugout bags I see on KZbin not even have enough food for a half a day under normal conditions, nevermind under strenuous conditions, marching miles, maybe even escape and evasion. You'll be burning almost double the carbs more than usual, so why carry less?! Most of the volume in bags I pack is taken up with food and water. Yours should be too or else you risk being weak and dehydrated when in the worst scenarios
