After ten years in the High Arctic, not to mention growing up in Winnipeg, I'll add this: you MUST always be aware of the state of your fingers & toes and NEVER allow them to freeze. How to maintain your finger temp is easy: 1) ball your finger in a fist within the glove 2) put the glove(s) inside your jacket and warm fingers under your arms or in groin. Maintaining toe temperature is tougher. Make sure your gloves & boot are NOT tight.. that cuts circulation. If your toes start to freeze, get blood flowing in your legs. I saw the Inuit stamping their feet but that didn't help me too much. I actually warmed my boots inside my parka! (Snow is clean.) There's an entire treatise that could be written on various ways of using plastic bags in your boots to keep your socks dry. Key concept from physics: the latent heat of evaporation of sweat (water). Avoid it.
100%
Very good point. This is the true priorities that the military services teach.
Five minutes of reading your comment. I gathered collect firewood and do major chores in your underwear and use Rain boots with nice pair of socks also add nitrite thick medical gloves and you will be in so much more comfort and safety.
Once the core feels colder, your body removes heat from the extremities. Fingers toes ears etc. Best way ive found of keeping my feet warm is to have dry socks always, and keep my core warm. If they get wet, theyre drying at earliest opportunity to swap out from the next wet socks you get. Burpees, star jumps, short bursts of energy and allow the body to do the rest.
Heating wool socks near the fire and then put them back on, works like a charm. Long story short, once i feel the sense in my toes, they need external heat source or heavy physical exercise to become live again.
I have been camping and hunting in winter for over 60 years and you are the first presenter of survival skills that taught me something new. I will watch more of your videos. Thank you.
I’ve been adventuring in the winter wilderness all my life. I thought there wasn’t much left to learn. You have proven me wrong. Thank you for a valuable education experience. Great video (as always)!
The Arctic necklace you made is basically the same thing I made for my son so he wouldn't lose his stuff when we went camping!!!! That's so awesome it had a little pocket knife a flashlight a Ferro rod that he loved I had no idea it was a thing! There was a whistle kind of her this reflective trinket that he loved he can't remember everything but a lot of cool little stuff that was lightweight that he could carry with him camping!
Do you make videos as well?
@@BUZZKILLJRJR This tool around neck would drive me nuts after about an hr moving about. So many of these video's I just shake my head in disbelief. Look at the gear and clothing in video's produced for survival and bushcraft education, if they are new and clean especially boots these guys are not experienced. Tools are all shiny and new ferris rods never marked up pots and pans just bought from walmart. Old elders spoke from wisdom when they said choose the woman with the blackened pots she will feed you the best.
@little standing owl. It’s called for demonstration purposes 😂. He obviously just grabbed it from the bits drawer which we do. Most Bushcraft ppl and ex service got kit and more kit and more kit. It did it for the video ya know? Thing is it’s so you know. Now ya know you go out if you choose to build one tailored to you. So micro flat whistle possibly, a night Chem stick for a fishing float which is 25mm long, the mirror looks really compact tbh. You’ll want that over a layer at least tho. But I was thinking a fresnel lens also hole punched corner sitting behind it. You gotta use it in a manner that applies to you if you choose to employ it. Shaking your head at it means you didn’t hear the need is to keep it warm to function. For example I might put my zippo pouch in a warm pocket don’t you? Cos if it’s cold lighter fuel isn’t as good as warm room temp etc. this is not hateful minded buddy the idea is it’s not all gonna work or you even want it. But it’s what you do with what you got the key thing. Have a good one. Celer et Audax.
"Straight thuggin, no huggin" caught me off guard. Love this channel.
God bless.
Happy new year, Andrew and fellow viewers!!!
Excellent video. So much new info,
Thank you so much for your continued posting of survival videos every Sunday…
You are part of my Sunday routine !!!
God bless you, real good 😊🙏🏻
I'm quite certain I have seen all your videos from the very first one you made, and I am equally certain that I have always learned something new from every one. I really admire your teaching style and the fact that everything revolves around basic kit and practical knowledge, not the expensive fancy gear that some..experts..seem to consider essential. 👍
You sir are the real deal. Lives may be saved because you have shared this knowledge. Thank you
Amazing video! I love the attention to thermal regulation. Keeping cool while hiking and climbing can seriously reduce water usage.
My grandfather said they you brought back a lot of old memories. Artic training in the 82nd Airborne. Lol he went to Vietnam. Surprise, in 1968 at Hue (pronounced way) it snowed about 8 inches deep. Many troops were not prepared. By one o'clock in the afternoon it was all gone.
Happy new year, Andrew. Great video with good survival techniques and good tips. Great as always. I hope this year comes loaded with great experiences and we can enjoy many interesting videos like this one. 👍😉
Every time I watch one of your videos I pick up a piece of knowledge thank you sir
Thank you! Happy new year!
Wow! Andrew, you have definitely taken 'winter survival' to another level. I have watched many channels on this topic, but you presented the meat of the application of making fire, extracting water from snow, the proper way of storing water overnight, etc. I did not know 3/4 of the approaches you instructed and I understand practice, practice, practice. Keep up the great work.
I understand you are making a very valid point about inverting a container to prevent freezing from fouling the container opening. The new NSN’d “Arctic Canteen” is no longer a vacuum flask design but is instead a wide mouthed single wall stainless steel (in part) design because of the acknowledgment that in extreme cold… Your water is going to freeze. No matter what. That being said if you want your water to remain liquid. Just something to consider. All around you is one of the most marvelous insulators known to man… snow. If instead of inverting the canteen… you had marked the location (say with a snowshoe) and buried the canteen. If it was above freezing when you buried it. It will still be liquid when you unbury it… even is the most God awful freezing temps and winds. It doesn’t matter if it’s inverted or not. This applies to insulating human beings equally well… as the Inuit can attest. Great video.
I taught wilderness and Winter survival to my SWAT teams and other rescue personnel. I give full kudos to Ranger Survival and Field Craft for his straightforward approach and techniques. He says it best at the end; go practice what he teaches so it is not just knowledge, it is applied science.
Great tutorial and great way to start the year. Reminds me of the Quinzhees we used to build in the woods when I was a kid, snug and warm in the coldest nights.
Thanks for sharing
New term for me, looked up and researched, thx!
Being able to make a fire in any weather conditions isn't a 'skill' it's a must have when spending time in the outdoors!! Safed my life more than once...
Best greetings from British Columbia 🙂and stay safe
Sadly for a large majority of people, starting a fire with even a lighter is a difficult task... even 40 years ago it was common knowledge.
Just subscribed to your videos. Love your lessons in survival. Keep these coming. I'm 66 years old and still prepare for tomorrow. Look forward to more videos and lessons. Thanks!
Another great video! Thank you, and Happy New Year!
Happy New and thank you.
I love all the different skills you teach ! Between this channel and Corporals Corner
, it's hard to keep up with all the amazing content !
Thank you!
seating at home, when in a hard time need to survive, will say thank you for all your great idea and knowledge, as we will survive because of you,
Thanks Andrew, another great video!
Tip when you build/digg your snow shelter, make a ditch so the coldest air that is hevier goes in the ditch. Also you might want to insulate under your sleeping mat as the cold from the ground will freeze you more than the air in the shelter.
Thank you. Your skills are amazing
Your vids always deliver the goods. Thanks.
Outstanding.
Thankyou for another educational video , you never know when one of these learned tips may be useful or even lifesaving
Thank you.
Always great to watch the survival skills you have learned and share with your viewers. Happy New Year. ✌️
This was another outstanding video Major. You and Cpl. Kelly have some of the most valuable information for survival in the wilderness I have seen on YT. Thank you!
Happy new year, Andrew, thanks for the great videos!! Looking forward to your next!
Thanks, great tips.
Thanks for sharing! Great things to have in the car while traveling in the winter! And to practice, of course.

Great info. Happy New Year!
Thanks for making the video.
Thank you Brother
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
I'm having flashbacks to Pickle Meadows aka the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center tucked way up in the mountains above Bridgeport, CA. My Dad was the C.O. there and I got to go through some of their training. Oohrah.
Happy New year Andrew. Another great video. I picked up some great tips. Keep up the good work
Good to hear from a "military brat." You all are the highest of distinguished "double veterans." Nobody can get the job done like you guys can!
Thank you Brother & Happy New Year!!!

I was born in rainforest and I´m amazed about cold survival skills!
Incredible job
Much love for the great lesson. Thanks
Great vid! Happy New Year!🎆🇺🇸🫡👍
Great Content! Thanks! Happy New Year!
This is great! I used to get tired out digging snow tunnels as a young boy so I would go to sleep inside and I was always plenty warm. Snow is great insulation
Very Helpful. Thank you.
Very usefull information, thanks for another great video Andrew
Loved your presentation on winter survival skills.
Thanks Andrew. Happy New Year.
Hello 👋 Andrew, thank you for sharing the vital winter survival tips. All the best to you for your good health. Stay safe out there. 🤗 👋
Ty for this video, I haven’t made a snow cave or Quinzee shelter since the 1980’s while in the army, yes Swedish torches work well…..
Andrew, great video and info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all your videos. I've watched a ton and appreciate your efforts and insight 👍🏻
Wow, there's a whole kit bag full of essential survival information! Thank you, a superb video well presented, even if down n dirty 👍😊

Excellent as always....
As always awesome content. Thanks for taking the time to share. Stay safe and God bless
Love that canteen trick!
Cheers to a new year with many awesome vids to come🍻
Great video. Ty. God bless
About the only thing missing is 100% pure white zinc ointment. It works wonders if having to travel over snow in sunny conditions.
Applied to any sensitive areas of the face, lips, and the nose, even the ears.
Exposure from the sun reflecting back up off the snow can cause severe burns, and even sunburn the inside of one's nose, making breathing painful.
Zinc oxide in a tin is always part of my kit especially in winter.
Outstanding!
Thank you as always Andrew! Happy New Year!!
Awesome. Thx.
Andrew, Happy New Year, thank you for the educational videos, very much appreciated. Take care, stay healthy and God bless you and your Family always.
Thank you
Excellent !
Excellent Survival Video. Thanks Brother!
Great skills, brother. Thank you very much.
Another great one!
A tip for stakes in snow. Bury them horizontally as a snow anchor so they bite better. When you stick them in the normal way they don't typically bite well enough due to lack of friction.
Thank you sir! This is the greatest source of 100% useful information 👌
No bullshit, this will save your life. Appreciate you sir
Happy New Years friends! Thx Andrew!
