An alternate method of signaling, using the 9V battery, is to touch the cell to your tongue......the resulting scream is audible at long distance. :)
Nah, ain’t that bad that’s how I check em to see if still good. Course I grab spark plug wires also to see if they’re working🙄, maybe it’s just me.
@@mikereynolds5753 Thats such bad advice. I tried grabbing the spark plug wires and got run over by my car. 😶😁😶
Hahahaha that's so funny I saw it happend in my mind
Lol😅😅😅😅
Wasn’t offering it as advice, just sayin what I’ve done😂😂; if I’m ever the voice of reason in a bad situation, it’s a verrry bad situation 😅. Hope you came out ok!!
As an ardent outdoorsman I am going to be critical here, because being unprepared in the bush is no joke.
Anyone who has to resort to the "hacks" in this video has either had to flee from home in a hurry and just grabbed a handful of random stuff - or should not be out in the wilds.
You SHOULD have a rucksack, or at least a day bag, with your survival kit in it. This should contain everything you need to be able to live out there for a month at the very least. You should have 2 refillable Clipper lighters, mini gas refills and extra flints, in resealable plastic bags to keep it all dry; at least one knife, but preferably more; a multi-tool or two; binoculars; lots of rope or paracord; if you can't determine direction, a compass; fishing tackle; an Esbit folding stove with fuel tablets; containers for cooking in and carrying; a hand-crank torch with extra rechargeable batteries is very handy at night, as are those small, multi-LED, solar-charged security lights; a tent of some sort with proper poles: ours is an ancient, 2-man mountain tent of rip-stop nylon, with built-in floor.
My wife and I would spend a month at a time in a nature reserve, thirty kilometres (18 miles) from the nearest town, never going into town, as we had all we needed with us. From Sunday evening to Friday afternoon, when there were no other people around, we'd be stark naked, wearing only flip-flops: this in the South African bushveld. Nothing out there scares us, from snakes to elephants, as we know how to communicate with them. We fished for kurper (tilapia or bream), but otherwise subsisted on supplies we'd brought along. We ate a lot of home-made muesli, consisting of a mix of rolled oats, peanuts, raisins, milk powder and sugar, but we were never short of fish. As we were in a reserve, I did not set snares, but I have done so in the past.
We don't survive in the wilds: we THRIVE. That's home to us.
Don’t the temps have to be pretty high to us k perm to start a fire ? Thermogenic response hard to get in super cold temps.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
👍👍
äh, if you got a decent Binos - dont open them just for a "i try that" they should be filled with gas to prevent foggin up the lenses...
We have a new reason why these short instructional videos have become a highlight and favorite for us each week. Our young troopers are often watching with me. They soon ask to try the techniques they see demonstrated. We enjoy seeing them learn new skills in an outdoor classroom. Again, I say thank you Andrew for the effort you put into filming and editing that benefited so many. Please know that you are appreciated by my family here in the Philippines.
Lol...Why the fck would you use a perfectly good ammonium to start a fire when you can use that for large game that could feed you for a week?
Just rub two sticks together...🔥🤡🌏🥴🥴🥴
Seriously Who carries a safety razor to start a fire...🔥
This guy is an absolute joke..🤡🥴🥴🥴
Always thinking outside the box. The men that serve under you must really appreciate you.
Im surprised you dont have a million subs by now. Ive learned a few things ive never seen on youtube before.
As a genuine ninja, i find it hard to believe a lone guy hid on an island, living in a homemade gillie suit, for 30 years, still sapping.
Also, im pretty sure that guy was not the first to invent the concept of tying foliage to their uniform.
Take that story with a grain of salt.
Check out the book: "No Surrender, My 30 Year War." by Hiroo Onoda. Really good and explains a lot about how he and several other Japanese soldiers were able to avoid being captured or discovered. Much of it had to do with very little Allied presence on the island as well as the seasonal monsoons and rough terrain.
Love the video! I've been doing this stuff for decades so I don't see many new material. So I appreciate the different things. Although I must say I've seen all of these before, or a variation of that. For example, instead of razor blades, other metal objects we carry can work. Everyone knows the gum wrapper. Small needles, sail needles etc. Anyway, I love these type of videos. Please show the out of the box stuff, where you can use different variables to complete said tasks. Appreciate everything you do Andrew!
Survived for thirty years? Imagine what his wife must have been like.
His book is called “No Surrender My 30 year war” it’s a really interesting book
I’m glad I stumbled on your video, you have a new subbie! Hope you had a great Remembrance Day!
The fabric (ducking) old feather pillows were made of (stuff resistant to feathers poking through) was used for prefilter cloth in a few functions (air and water filtration) about 100 years ago and I was taught to use gypsum plaster as a flocking agent in real dirty water lol
Even tho I'm old school ex- mil, like the 70's, I really dig that IFAK, even if I don't run a plate carrier, great idea for the troops. I run M - 81 web gear, an my IFAK is bulky on my web gear, but I won't be caught without it. Thx for the vid Andy
They're so expensive. I wish they would issue these.
@@Yooper05 I wish they would to for active duty troops. I can see the validity of these behind a plate
Another excellent video sir, what was the name of that IFAK?
Phokus
Thank you
I don't have grenade pins but I'm going to try with large key rings and see if I can whittle the ends down to slip inside the rings to save cord .
Just a suggestion - Expedition Research fuel tablets come in a much tougher packaging than Esbit and have a 100 year shelf life.
Good to know. Yeah, those Esbit wrappers break open and the smell in the kit from those tabs is awful
Civilian hack use key rings instead of grenade ring pins
Fun Fact:
Good quality binoculars are filled with nitrogen so they dont fog.
If you remove a lense, they will fog forever
Split key rings would work for those of us that don’t have grenade rings.
I was going to go to the NFL game to work today but after quitting and then watching this video it was a major boost to the spirits. It’s good to not be around people sometimes so it’s great to know this stuff. I’m glad I learned something today. Thank you very much.
Hey someone liked video few seconds afted me 😅
God Blessed Man,don't sell yourself short,We all know you are a Ranger! From an Army dude,lol! Not everyone can be a Ranger.Many other "Elite"forces Do Not pass through Ranger school & Qualifications,This is a Fact! Most.If not All of us,are Humbled to be instructed by yourself & You are Very Much Appreciated! Many Thanks for being here,Cheers!!!
I’ve always wondered what to do with my leftover grenade pin rings 🤔 ! 😂
💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 5:12
Fella, you MUST do a book!!
A nine volt battery and steel wool works as a fire starter as well, no razors needed
All the grenade pin rings I have came from the dummy grenades. When training with live grenades, the safety officer always kept the pins to make sure I was using all my grenades. Seens to me they trusted me to deploy the grenades, but they constantly were telling me not to cook off the grenades. So train as we fight goes right out the window.
Probably for inventory
Algorithm comment
👍👍👍super
I learned something watching this video.
Pretty cool. If you have two 9v batteries you can hook them together from terminal to terminal for twice the fun but be warned, it’s hot
Another great video thanks
Great video
If only I could get out to the woods and have some fun….thanks! Love your work, Pathfinder got lucky!
Does quartz / granite throw sparks ?
Quartz (includes flint and chert) is 7 on MOHS Scale of Hardness. Granite is 6-8 hardness.
Any rock at 7 or above will make sparks with carbon steel.
The top 4 examples on Mohs Scale are quartz, topaz, corundum and diamond.
You could use a diamond ring to make sparks.
Yes they do
👍🏻
Great hacks sir. Enjoyed the ideas and instruction as always. Keep up the great work!
Lol...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why the fck would you use a perfectly good ammonium to start a fire when you can use that for large game that could feed you for a week?
Just rub two sticks together...🔥🤡🌏🥴🥴🥴
Seriously Who carries a safety razor to start a fire...🔥
This guy is an absolute joke..🤡🥴🥴🥴
Another good one
Thank you for your service and another awesome video
Great tip to cut the paracord.
What is the chemical that was mixed with the sugar to make the fire normally used for?
Excellent !
Awesome information .
All good info. Forgot about that Japanese soldier that survived 30 years on the island. Wouldn't surrender unless his "superior officer" showed up and ordered him to "Stand Down" or whatever it is in Japanese!
Thanks Andrew!!
Kool reminders and tricks as always Col
If you don’t have the grenade rings two cotter pins will work for the saw
Great job
Being Native And a few passed down tips ...
#1 Bedding Having a sleeping bag is great Even a tarp to keep you off the wet ground However for wetness And the earth drawing the heat out of you in colder weather You are going to want to be lifted off the ground a inch or two ..fine spruce tree limbs work for this Or pine if you only have the other option Followed by dead leaves if they are around The native people in my parts would follow thru with Moose, buffalo other hides. Now it might seem like alot of work But worse off is being sore Cold And wet when you wake up
#2 Learn about the plant life in your area You may be able to extend your water And food supply longer than you think Birch tress give off water after the first thaw in spring Rope your tin cup to a tree Cut in a hole (No need to drill) And cut yourself a small V under the hole as a lip into the cup...You will need a few trees for a full cup Remember to plug the hole after with a piece of branch to no kill the tree. Staghorn Sumac contains Vitamin C Long as you do not boil the water And burn it off Add this to your water for 1 hr to over night And you will have a drink that has a slight citrus taste to it And its good for you Remember that Staghorn is named for having the shape of a Deer's cone shaped horn And its deep red No other sumac is like it And this one is not poisonous
Every now And then take closer looks at plants And bushes They may contain Blueberries And raspberries Or what is in your area ..Huckleberry etc
#3 Watch a few of these videos And ask yourself the Pros And cons of what you know And do not know For me it was medical understanding of a few things The pro of it was i took a red cross First Aid/CPR + course And looking to do a Emergency First Aid And Advance course And i hate knots And loops with rope so I still have to learn a few of them...Sailor And military good ones....
#4 You And your backpack. Now that you have all the goodies you think you need And know how to use Some of us fat asses (like
me) Could not handle 80lbs on a flat road hike let a lone 3 miles up Currahee mountain. For me my multi bag has a main which is the core items that are light weight And are the basics off all needs light, Fire, food, water, first aid etc 30lbs And what i call break away bags that hold extra needs that are heavier bigger items ..Hatchet, mini cast iron 5inch pan Other knife, Ammo...Side tip Ziplock bags Are always good to have to keep in And keep out items ..waterproof Airtight Food water firestarter fresh berries dry socks I keep everything together on one bag And the bag in the truck except my weapons Which is another story I am not that willing to share : )
Most things are fine skills you are going over, remember to change foliage as you change areas. The med kit is a good one (if you know how to use it), the one thing is the 14-gauge needle for decompression. IT is NON legal for someone who is not trained by a registered professional. People have died from people who don't know EXACALLY what to do. And the person can face jail time up murder for using one. And remember a vest is great for your main vitals, but there are 10 places that it dose not cover. A good shooter knows them, simple anatomy chart.
Those of us that do not have grenade pin rings can use key rings 😂
Andrew, I've been alive along time. I've watch Dave grow up, Shawn,GBGB, and many others. You had a style before Dave, Shawn has a ton of subs. This may sound like I'm bashing or criticizing you, but no disrespect. As always follows disrespect.... but I'd like to see your own style. Which will come in time! Please do not ever stop providing information to the ones that have the will to learn. Not who can afford to learn. That's what will set you apart my friend! Please keep on learning and teaching and it will all work out!
PS , I wish I had David freaking Canterbury hanging out with me and sharing his knowledge with me. Jealousy is a sin and I'm a sinner! 💯
Wow, I have NEVER been in the woods with a 9Volt battery, 2 razors, AND CHAR CLOTH. --- a bic lighter, is WAY more likely. - just me.
Good stuff Andrew as usual!!!
Down and Dirty ! love it ! great Video as per usual ... you are a good instructor CHEERS
Char cloth? Binoculars? Why didn't he just use the lighter in his Rolls Royce parked behind the camera? This is NOT bushcraft.
Weird. I've always thought that gunpowder from a round would burn/deflagrate way faster than that. The reaction can't be that slow when firing a shot right? What am I missing? The pressure ? The primer ?
Like - the ifak "genuis". Dislike - not reallyy dislike, more disclaimer, at what temp does potassium permangonate not ignite w sugar? Was a topic several years ago as all the shows heralded this, but, in cold weather it may not react? Thoughts?
Useful tips! It's also worth keeping foil bubble-gum wrappers for fire-starting. Cut a strips from one with a narrow section in the middle and touch the ends to the battery terminals on a AA battery. I haven't tried it on a 9V battery, but expect it should work.
Great video but grabbing a few box lighters before going on deployment or mission would solve most of these issues. I’ll admit this is great skill and knowledge to pass down but if you are ever reduced to striking a stone against your machete. You have already made many bad mistakes or have been led by extremely bad leadership.
Dude. Ammo's expensive... Even just one round. I'm not angry, just disappointed 😕
Yeah, I REALLY need to pack a trauma pack. -- If I need that crap, MY TACTICS SUCK!!!
Never seen the pot perm/sugar hack! Nice!!! I made a "bottle cap" hack and keep pot perm in one side and glycerin in the other side! Pour the two together and viole'!
As usual a good vidio
Great video all useful and important skills. I have a question what was the liquid you mixed with the sugar? Thanks look forward to more videos .
More good stuff to practice incessantly!
Keeping a little steel wool in the tinder kit for use with a battery seems a mighty fine idea.
Thank's for the new suggestions!
Great video! A bit off topic, but can you recommend a good pair of boots please? I quite like the style at the end of the video. Are they standard issue?
Camoflauge works best when you use foilage during times foilage is produced; Fall is not that time
Bino....is that actually an English word??!!! Binary rhino??!!!😮😮😮😮
I don't have any Grenade pin rings, but do have key rings I could use. Just saying another thing to add to that comment!
Never keep 9v batteries in a pocket full of change or another battery in the same pocket. It WILL burn!
Second video ive watched of yours, outstanding AF. Subscribed!
So we have batteries razors tape and cotton but no lighter ...... That's hilarious !!
joe flowers said that in the jungle he found that using a bigger rock with a sharp edge and you lay the machete with its back against it and rake it over works best it produces most sparks...spray and pray over the the tinder
Very nice. Once again, just like watching the live action FM's come to life. Plus the excellent instructional style. You would have made a great NCO.
As an alternate to breaking the razors could you just keep a piece of fine steel wool in the kit? If you rub the 9v against the steel wool it will cause it to smolder and be used to light other tender
keep some wire wool in your tinder kit for the 9v battery.maddog.West cork
Instead of getting all those individual items and having to piece it together to start a fire, how about just getting a few ferro rods and be done with it??!!!
Bic lighters are useful for starting fires , sold in more places than potassium permanganate, just saying .
Great vid Andy I now have use for all my expendable RAZORS
Thank you for all the tips, really good I'll check a couple of other vids to make my decision it looks good
Got a link to that plate carrier IFAK?
I missed the manufacturer and model.
Don't take out bullets like that. Friction can easily ignite the powder in the cartridge and it will go off in your hands.
Will you please do a video on how to wear your gear properly? (Ie belt, ruck, and plate carrier)
At 3:35 you say the kit is “minus a tourniquet”… and repeat that at 3:50.
yet, at 3:45 you show a tourniquet 🤷♂️ is this one you added to the kit?
Great video Andrew ! The firefly light is a cool piece of kit, didnt know it 😮
I keep my grenade pin rings on me 24/7. Who doesn't??? Lol
#2 If it's windy, make a cone of duck tape and pour your propellant in that
I like to think of the fire as my gold crowns and old buddie would pay❤
Keep a smasl roll of electr tape and (copper/ otherwise conductive )wire
The camo doesnt work to good if youre the only green bush walking ground 😂
Commenting to help the algorithm. Keep it up man, love the videos and appreciate at that you do. I have learned a ton
Andrew, I like that watch. What brand/model is it?
Old prison trick a touch the sharp corners of the razors together for a better light.
Could you list all the items that were specific in this video? Like the binoculars, plate carrier ifak, etc.
Thanks for the awesome video, but that looks like a terrible place to start a fire
