Really liked the video! No muss, no fuss, no long drawn out stories. Just the complete instruction essentials. All one has to do is to pay attention. Very high-quality instruction. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
The best teacher is experience, each time you go out you learn more than any video can teach you. It's better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.
I follow you from Egypt .Unfortunately, we do not have forests to live this experience, but one day I will visit your forests and go through this experience. With my regards, an Egyptian follower
Just a woman over here, trying to learn some skills that could save my life! I’m gonna make that bow saw! I just added a 21 inch sawblade to my Amazon cart and the metal rings. I think I can I think I can. Love your video.❤
Andrew, I like how you teach bushcraft and survival skills and then turn it right back to a lesson on daily living, self motivation, etc. Very motivational, and encouraging.
Solid information! Beyond that, I hope everyone appreciates all the effort that goes into the prep, filming and editing of your videos, definitely a lot of work you put into your channel.
Ready for today top shelf edification. Today is the first episode I’ve watched since the successful removal of my brain tumor. After thirteen years of surgeries, chemo, and radiation I am tumor free. Stitches out April 13. Time to fulfill a promise to myself now-sign up for courses at the Pathfinder school. Carpe Diem every one. 🤙
I am doing much better these days, the little piece of tumor that was too deep to be removed started growing a couple of months ago. It’s day 60 of the new chemo(Ivosidenib). Thank you for your comment, I do appreciate it. 🤙
@@ReasontoLiveAdventures rock on, I'm so happy to hear you're still moving forward. Sometimes cancer is a lil bugger and won't go away at first. You got this.
My mantra, since waking from the coma, comes from Shawshank Redemption. “Get busy living, or get busy dying.” I occasionally post treatment update videos, so my fellow brain tumor warriors can see that there is life during and after treatment.🤙
I love these survival skill videos! I agree, that everyone should know these basic skills! Great job explaining! Experience is king! Everyone practice these!
This is literally the first bushcraft video I'm watching ever and it is super helpful! I also like how you point out to take care of the environment. It's so important.
2:48 The dig stick you’re making is called an o’o in the Hawaiian language. It is usually 5’-7’ and made from a variety of hardwoods found in Hawai’i like wiliwili, koa, ‘iliahi (Hawaiian sandalwood), kukui (Hawaiian candlenut) and was so durable, due to fire hardening and keeping it oiled to prevent boring insects and humidity, that it was passed down from one generation to the next. That simple tool, the dig stick or o’o’, kept an entire race fed and flourished for 1000 to 1700 years.
Thank you for your videos and time. I grew up in the bush and then spent 25yrs as a remote area fireman and instructor ( Aussie smoke jumper ) its great share our hints and tips. We are a dying breed ( outdoors men and women) and we need to teach our skills to others.
Great job, Andrew, Just to parrot what your other viewers have stated, ' Clear and concisely presented for all skill levels ', Thank you for your service and your time to instruct us on survival skills we might need one day.
Awesome video. Rangers and SF have amazing ancillary skills to not only survive but continue to operate with minimal or no resupply and continue to take the fight to the enemy. This day and age when most have a break down over their cold latte.
Really is a perishable skill set, but even though you cover trodden ground it refreshes to terminate-stay-resident in our harried minds. And good to see you teaching this to students as a working instructor. Top notch.
Hot damn! Loved that vid. Straight to the point, no scenic landscapes lingering on camera with wistful music accompaniment. No click-bait crap. Gonna get myself some Australian Chaga equivalent quick smart. Essential, light, carry material.
Another great class revision on survival. We never get tired of these knowledge no matter how many times we see it. Knowledge gain is learned when it's second nature. Any chance of doing a scenerio where you're searching for water & making shelter in an unfimiliar location.? Cheers Digger.!
Always enjoy your videos. Very informative, no nonsense, excellent content. In my opinion your one of the best bush craft channels out there. Please keep them coming
You rock. (Frankenstein wants to chime in: Fire bad! Swiss Army Knife good!) I learned a lot of nuance things watching this. The pot hanger for instance OR the pointy end of a spindle for vampires-- much needed in this day and age.
Outstanding content. Down and dirty and to the point. For the knowledge that you impart, thank you doesn't seem like enough. But, I have said it before, thank you for your time and effort in bringing us this knowledge.
Great video! You're one of the few I've seen that actually lashes right. People miss the frapping, and it's what makes the whole thing tight. Along with a backpack you might want to get into travois building. Hauls heavier loads, including injured people. Can be a problem in some types of terrain.
There is a lot of survival channels on RUclips some of them very good but your channel I seem to learn more and can take in your techniques easier than other channels really enjoy watching them
Excellent video! It's been said the more you know, the less you need to carry. Notwithstanding that advice, IMO a basic survival skill, and an essential one is Proper Prior Planning (P3) ... For example: P3 allows one to know more through study and practice, hopefully enough to get to P7. This video is a great way to hit that P3.
I like how casually you mention that the spindle can also be used for vampires, most "survival experts" don't even bother to mention them
I know right
Your chances of being killed by a vampire are very low but never zero...
Zombies are like quicksand in the 80's, just not as common as the media tells you.

That's really cool. Hopefully one day you can come visit the woods.
@@garethjones7611 I will do so as soon as possible 😊
We will welcome you with open arms!
Would be a neat idea for a series "Bushcraft Experts in the Desert!" how long can they survive?
We love Egypt 🇪🇬 ❤😊 you must visit we have many beautiful Forrest with lakes and forests 🌳

Thank you a million times. Priceless knowledge and information. Thank you for everything in this video.
This video was mind blowing. Thank you for taking the time to create this.
Awesome video Andrew. I wore my uncles POW bracelet for 25 yrs
Always a great class basic or advanced! Thanks Andrew. Bravo.
👍👍
Great video as always!! Thanks Andrew! Sunday is not complete without a Ranger Survival video!
Great video! Having a high standard of perfection only ensures durability.

Rangers lead the way my brother
I think my favorite thing on this one was the bow saw. I never thought about carrying the blade separately and saving all that space
Camping and jeans 🤷🏻
Agreed! And can be easily stored in a can or pan. I will use that!
@@bradpage8967 or scrap pvc
can do similar with silky folders
Great video, solid tips. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing. I'm new to bushcraft and this was fascinating.
Very educational really enjoyed it thanks for sharing this with us.
Great video, Andrew! Always educational. Ranger on!
Love it! I'm getting out for some bushcraft in the snow real soon and am inspired by this video!
Awesome video 📹! Andrew. Practice is the key 🔑!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Andrew. I really enjoy your channel & will continue to support your quality work.
Great job as usual, Andrew! You set the bar just a little higher with each video!

I like how after we’re done with the chair and it’s time to go to bed, we use the same bipod to set up a shelter.👍👍👍
Thank you for answering my question, I really enjoy your videos. I think you have great content. You are in the top three that I follow.

Outstanding! Learned a couple new things here. You're the real deal, Andrew!
Hello Andrew 👋
Of all your videos I have saved for reference…. And I have a bunch of them, this one is in my top 5!! Thanks Andrew!
Found your channel through Viking Preparedness. Love your material. Subscribed.
Your approach at teaching is exemplary! Clear, precise, and well thought out.
In my humble opinion, you are the best teacher on RUclips.
Great review of the basics! Appreciate your content!
Great info! Thanks for putting this together!
The pack bag was exactly what I needed the other day. Glad to have stumbled across this video!
Phenomenal video once again! I especially loved the cordless pot hanger. I know I'll be coming back to it in the future. Thanks!
All great skills to use in the woods, Ty for passing on your knowledge…
Great video , always learn something from them. Keep up the good work.👍🏻
There is a lot of survival channels on RUclips some of them very good but your channel I seem to learn more and can take in your techniques easier than other channels really enjoy watching them
