Survival Kit Level 2

[@Pines_Druid]

That was lucky. I had everything except for tinfoil, then I remembered my hat!

"Got right with my ways" love this terminology , this usually denotes the TRUE meaning of "WOKE" and for those of you that don't understand, you probably never will !! RLTW Guy Speight

Thanks for the information, 2 square feet of aluminum foil can be folded int a bowl to boil water, learned that from a SFGp operator. I guess he took origami to heart.

[@jamescooper2618]

I have found that if aluminum foil is folded, kit will leak water, even the heavy duty kind. One thing I have it for is to hold fire tinders up off the wet ground to get a fire started bt there are many uses for it.

Great level 2 kit

[@butchpalmer1860]

Great information, please keep it coming. Unfortunately there is a real possibility that this information will be necessary in days to come...

[@swampdweller1566]

Found your channel a few days ago and have been watching some of your vids. I subscribed. Love your vids. Btw love how much you emphasize carrying a TQ in some of your vids. Keep the vids coming man!

[@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft]

Austin Ford Thanks brother I appreciate that! I’ll work hard to earn that sub!

[@darrellbowen1582]

As always another great video ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@BandGeek2210]

Have you had any experience with the “ survival cards” available on Amazon? Basically….cards that have a variety of fish hooks, frog gigs, spear points…cutting tools etc. Again all on a stainless steel “ card” …a few cards actually..contained in a “ wallet”. Perhaps get a set and evaluate them for function. The are relatively inexpensive

[@truckerenoch8824]

Aluminum foil ...it's not just for hats.🧠👀 😂

[@jimcrowder7102]

Like to see yo use belt, have been doing this for some time. Have done video on a belt? great thing to do.

[@jodamo5953]

I enjoy watching your videos.

[@rickmorris338]

the sound sucks. you can not hear what he is saying. get some thing for the mic

[@winstonbelisle3560]

Can beàrly hear you in this.

[@peterbogart4531]

I picked up some metal Austrian Army Only (“Heeres Eigentum”) canteens that are special. Plastic cap on a detachable/replaceable bead chain. They unfortunately don’t fit my GI canteen cups. I almost always carry in addition a GI canteen with cup.

Low audio, had to turn on cc.

[@johnmercer947]

Can't hear you

[@wpick]

Do you have two "different" protractors, or 2 of the same type?

[@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft]

Two of the same type, one is set up with a piece of string to read azimuth and distance quickly, while the other is for planning routes, etc.

[@irfanahmed9112]

Why mora knife z famous?lots of expert r using

[@tenchraven]

Blade quality is very high, and it's still carbon (unless you order stainless specifically). Light, easily sharpened, easy customized, strong enough, big enough and most models are under $25. Not too many years ago you could get them for half that, they price increase follows matierals costs and expanded demand. When they were $12, you could throw on in every tool or tackle box, your car, one dedicated for a BOB... basically where ever you would want a knife. You can trust your life to it, and there is no reason even with the price increase to not have a couple.

[@erinhellebuyck7527]

Thank you

[@wilrod140]

Thanks

[@craigdiaz4143]

anyone mind explaining to me what level 1, level 2, and level 3 mean? I can't seem to work my googling skills correctly for this.

[@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft]

Craig Diaz The 3 levels are a simplified way of knowing what to pack and how to pack a survival kit explained in the ranger handbook. Newer versions of the handbook seem to have omitted the survival chapter, but I think it page 14-4 at least in the 2013 version. Level one is items carried in the pockets, EDC, level two is items worn on/in fight equipment, and level 3 is items inside the rucksack these being shelter and additional items to supplement the other two levels. After SERE I cross-referenced what I learned there with ranger school and came up with my own kit based on the items I carried. Hope this helps.

[@craigdiaz4143]

@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft That was helpful! thank you! I just downloaded the free 2011 version, which indeed has this section.

[@mirv695]

@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft thanks for the clarification sir. As an aside, it looks like the SERE/Survival Section has been removed in more recent editions of the Handbook. Led to some confusion on my part. I would advise referencing the chapter and edition when you reference the manual in your videos.

[@davidmace3310]

Thank you for the video.

Thank you

[@journeyman7189]

Great stuff. YIneducated question , you mentioned using the tinfoil for leaving a boot imprint. how and why? Nate

[@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft]

Journeyman 71 The boot imprint would be for friendly search and rescue so they could track you. Find a flat patch of ground that’s somewhat soft and clear of too many rock. Layout the tinfoil and make a boot imprint by stepping on it. Leave that imprint with an emergency signal left behind if you decide to walk out of a survival situation. If SAR comes by and finds the signal they’ll have your boot print and will be able to track you. Tip: leave an arrow pointing your direction of travel if you do leave that area.

[@peterbogart4531]

Thanks again, Skipper, for a great site for sharing. I found a classic, bargain, green Ultimate Torsopack at a Goodwill. I like it well as a Level 2 kit. It has 2 well-fitting 28-ounce (I wish they were liters) sport drink bottle-sized outside pockets. It holds an REI covered pot/skillet. with more space left. The pack can be crossed comfortably diagonally over the back and chest, front or back, or mounted horizontally atop a ruck like my medium ALCE. It also makes a great bicycle butt pack. It has handy Clif Bar sized zipper pouches on the belt. I had to clean up some flaking black inner cover material, but no big deal. I have replaced the red zipper tabs with stopgap smallish key rings. I heartily recommend it. An unencumbering pack for fighting out of a little if necessary. Convenient for maneuvering in high mountain valleys. Feels emergency-jump worthy. Not too big, not too small. Can hold enough to help save your life long term. If you pray, do it regularly?
