Best survival / outdoor channel on TY , HANDS DOWN! just straight knowledge, no crying about " the algorithm " or youtube " throttling views " !!! No shameless plugs for below par items , or trying to sell us viewers things for the whole video! JUST GREAT KNOWLEDGE!!! Rant over, but it is seriously what other outdoor creators seem to be doing these days hahah , keep doing your thing!! Wish I could like your videos multiple times 😂 💪👍

[@peterott-tn6pf]

I know what you mean!

[@ARAW-__-]

I know who you're referring too... I also make YT videos and mark my words I won't be a sell-out. Pushing garbage to make a commission is so low.

Did you need this guy to tell you that?

When I was in the army. My first day at my PDS. The platoon Sgt, a real asshole of an sfc. Told all of us that had just came to the unit. That we should always have those things on our person. I was the only one who had all of them already. My old man drilled that in my head. When he gave me a knife, and zippo lighter on my thirteenth birthday. Leatherman hadn't been made yet, but I added one to my edc the year they came out.

An amazingly well-done presentation, sir! If you would be so kind, I am sure most of us would love a long-form video of a hike where you show us some of the uses of your kit in situ. Where to place traps, fishing with the kit's contents, etc. We would love to hear more from your considerable acumen! My kit in the scouts always contained what my scoutmaster called "human condiments" - elemental salt tablets to replace electrolytes, sugar packets for cuts, and yellow mustard for burns.

You are a "Go" at this station, Ranger. Very well done. You should write a book, heavy with quality photos, on kits and gear.

[@Section8_704]

Very complete. You just can't get vids like this. Thanks Major. Wife real impressed with this as well. I've had military training and both of us are Bushcrafters and always learn something new here with Andrew. Bravo Zulu!

[@raulduke7142]

I love watching these types of videos, especially from RSaFC, to make sure my kits are up to snuff, see if Im missing anything. Yup, Im good. One thing I might add for EDC is belt gear. I have 3 leather belts that I cycle through and each one has a handcuff key, a bobby pin wrapped in a few feet of fine kevlar cord, a razor blade, and a small strong neo magnet that has a hole in the center (which is attached to one end of the kevlar cord) and this is situated and duct taped flat on the rear most inner part of the belt.

[@artoliver8740]

Really enjoy your channel, great information. Something I think that could help a kit is a card to reference a few knots. Being that many people, myself for example, don't use the knots in your videos often enough to remember them when needed. A reference card would be useful to help get the most out of cordage by making the proper knots safer with less waste.

[@ricks4361]

Sir, just simply one of the best channels of its kind on this platform with loads of useful information well presented. You finally showed how to fashion that aluminum foil cup. That should be a ‘short’ like using a button compass, which I always viewed as a useless toy. The folding sewing and fishing kits are also great hacks. Thanks!!

[@DamionJR4923]

You could do this same video but go over the items in a different order and I would still enjoy watching it. Thanks

[@unfi6798]

Down & Dirty video is always the best. Cheers for sharing mate.

[@robertphillips93]

This is an excellent reminder that useful survival gear need not be costly. But, after putting a mediocre knife in my kit and seeing how very limited it was, I rethought the need. My tin is about the same size as in the video, so I splurged and got an alox SAK Farmer. A real knife and saw of equal length, plus awl, screwdriver, can/bottle opener. For space inside the tin, I'd jettison the multitool and just slide a 6 in or smaller pair of water pump pliers under the ranger bands on the outside. Not only handy for snare wire, but if your survival situation is near machinery or civilization -- it's a tool that fits a range of nuts up to an inch plus handleless water spigots.

[@lovellbadgett1965]

Drew, I dig how you are constantly endeavoring to improve your kit..

[@dmitch1983]

Nice. Gotta love the camo bandaids from the dollar tree. I've got those in my TAPS kit for the field

[@outbackowl3040]

Hi Andrew, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺 thank you for your time to make these videos available,

[@winfieldagonoy]

Always been the best contents and educational values. Thank you very much, Sir.

[@mannihh5274]

Overall a bunch of useful tools in your kit - thanks for showing. Four items though I consider a waste of space. Most realistic survival situations get solved within 72 hours, so snares, snare-wire, fishing-kit and broadhead are ridiculous to carry, take some bullion-cubes instead to replenish your minerals after a shelter build or long hike with lots of sweating. More tinder/flame-extenders and some charcloth in a ziploc-bag, if your first fire has to be started with the fresnel lens. I don't know, why so many Americans are talking about survival and focus so much on food and snacks, which IMHO are more related to bush-camping and military SERE scenarios. Most of us are considered overweight, we can easily survive two weeks without food, even in wintertime. Against feeling hungry an 800ml pot of hot water in the morning and in the evening helps (according to Mors Kochanski). Might be a concern for people, that are suffering from diabetes.

Wow!!! So much information… Lots of review from some of your previous videos ( I’m a loyal follower) Neat idea for the foil~ I learned how to make paper cups when I was in school… great to use that info in a survival setting- yay😁 Rubber bands are always a must for us ladies with long hair… 😊 Happy saint Patrick’s day Andrew, and fellow subscribers😊

[@wildweasel8564]

I carried an Altoids survival tin built around a Ritter RSK Mk5 on several deployments to SWA, it easily fit into a cargo pocket. Never used the knife but its Micro-Light came in handy during unplanned power outages and pre-threaded needle used to sew up gashes in my 5.11's.

[@Neptune7Edge]

Awesome video. One suggestion. I add two arrowheads, a bowstring, and two sets of fletchings.

[@johnmech5365]

Very good video, thank you for the instructions. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷

[@donaldgupko9002]

Great updated kit. One thing though is to magnetize the needle in your sewing kit so you have another way to tell north. Another backup.

[@VTK72]

Wow, that’s the best kit i’ve seen so far…. I like that everything are prepared, you can use it right away 👍 i would have added an emergency blanket but i understand that it would not fit in that tin 😅

[@peterbogart4531]

Sir, T Y again! One possible addition is a little 11/2 by 3/8 inch long tube level. Useful for quickly building level beds & locating shelters that drain of water. Also possible to use for estimating vertical angles of potential landing strips. Super Cubs, for example, can land well on surprisingly steep, cleared landing slopes. Beware of soft tundra, though. Also, taking off from a tundra strip with a Cub is tricky. Firm gravel hill strips (of adequate width) are much better. Been there, seen that. Helps a lot if stranded folk can communicate accurate landing slope estimates to rescue aircraft,. Helos have clearing diameter requirements as well as slope & surrounding vegetation height limits. Now is the time to learn the geometry.

[@BlesamaSoul]

Well done for showing people how to make the cup from tin foil, so many times I have seen people put a tiny scrap of foil in a tin that would be useless and had to tell them you need a much bigger sheet (like you showed) in order to get a cup that is viable to use on a fire to boil water. You always give no nonsense advice and anyone with some experience can top up, likewise newbies can really gain some great knowledge. Thank you for posting this video

[@najroe]

putting a 25-30cm nylon or flourocarbon with a loop on each hook make those hooks MUCH easier to use if injured, cold or just bad light conditions. only downside is slightly more difficult to store (I put mine in paper folded to tiny envelopes that I dip in paraffin wax to waterproof. second, one or two of the fishingflies, preferably small ones #12 or even #14, they can catch smaller fish that you can either eat or use as bait third would be one or two larger hooks with wire leads to be set over night to possibly catch something. like a pike, burbot, catfish...

[@richardstone5241]

Do yourself a favor and do NOT use a tin unless you want the contents to get wet and useless. I am 70+ and a Nam Vet + other conflicts. Years ago I had to learn this the hard way (I was stupid because I had to suffer more than one failure). I switched to a heavy duty waterproof container and have never looked back!!!

[@robertphillips93]

​@@les3449 Don't mean to butt in -- this is an interesting sub-thread to me, who also has a metal kit (and though it's heavier gauge than the Major's and has spring roller clips on both ends, there's no guarantee it's 100% waterproof). If I judged the tradeoff in packability and concealability to be an absolute necessity, a wide-mouth polypropylene bottle would be a consideration. But the tin can be used for boiling (very small volumes of) water and the bottle not so much. Unless you go with stainless steel or titanium -- and already it's a whole different category of gear. Definitely with a real use case, like southeast Asian jungles!

[@edwinklaver]

I know you probably get a lot of crap over these little kits, mostly folks who have not watched all of your videos like I have lol. Most could not survive with one of these, you are one in a million young man. You can play on my team any time! My favorite videos are the ones where you take your little kits, and a shelter of some sort down by the river or lake, and thrive. Heck! I'm betting you can do it with just chewing gum, and what ever you can find out there. ( not joking )

[@CJBanks-nc5re]

For your cordage, have you ever looked at tarred bank line? I subscribe to another KZbin channel, corporals corner and he used to advocate for paracord, but found that number 36 bank line takes up 1/3 of the space and has a breaking strength of over 300 lb.

I'd like to start a discussion on small snares in pocket survival kits. 1) If you're on the move, snares are useless. (except maybe overnight while sleeping). 2) If stationary, what are you likely to catch? In any case, that occasional chipmunk is like a teabag to make soup.
