Shawn from Corporals Corner wanted me to say hello. Glad to see that you guys are friends. I encourage both your channels, and to hear that you guys may be working together at the Pathfinder School is great. Hope that you get the job.
Same here! I came from Corporals Corner's referral to check your channel out. Good stuff!!
same here very good content
I too heard about your potential for working with the Pather Finder School from Shawn's video. Excellent!
Hey Corporals Corner asked everyone to check out your channel
Also glad to see you mentioned the importance of vampire defense tools.
When making a digging stick cut one shaped like a fish hook harden both ends it triples as a pick for digging,digger stick and small game throw stick.
Another great video. Well done! I learned a few things. Much appreciated!
It's not enough that I have to make fire, build a shelter & purify water....NOW I GOTTA DEFEND MYSELF AGAINST VAMPIRES TOO!!!! : )
@@davestuddert4392 there are things in the woods you wouldn't believe thankfully they ate seldom seen.
@@treerat6959 I'm very grateful that where I'm from, we don't have animals that actively hunt you on land (no bears, wolves, pumas etc only crocs & sharks)
Hooah soldier! Showing the bowdrill failures is important. Friction fire can get frustrating. It seems if something can go wrong it will. Even if it's your fireboard or tinder bundle picking up moisture from the ground. 🔥
I don't even count my failures lol
@@treerat6959 hahaha yes you stop counting hehehe. Me too
@@frikkiesmit327 oh man, if only i had counted my failures, it would've been my biggest achievement. But i failed. . Again 😁
I am so glad to see that someone is FINALLY adding vampire killing methods in their videos. Thank you for taking that stand, sir!
Seriously, great job! Love your videos. I'm always grateful for viewing them.
It it's not a zombie prep video, then it's a vampire prep video.
This is good to go stuff! The can, never fails, you could be lost in the middle of no where and you'll find human trash. Having an eye for it's uses is a great skill!
The only thing I can add to this vid is, your better off putting your snare at the top of the lean pole, because if you do snare a squirrel, in its attempts to get free, it could throw itself off of the log an hang. On the ground it can chew its way out of the snare, IMHO. Ground snare's work on rabbits good tho, thx for the vid

A longer “ramp” with several snares on for more squirrels.

@@jackvoss175 Yes! That's how we do it in Bama. Lean a long sapling against a tree at about a 45 degree angle, then put at least 3 snares going up the "ramp". The more snares the more chances of success with a single event. Works like a champ. Can't remember where I learned it we've been doing it so long.
@@brotherbreeze8351 G’day Breeze. It’s an old technique, with origins lost in time, and likely in lots of different places. Though, I do prefer a .22.

This is true
Another excellent video! I learned this content as an Eagle Scout. I give you credit for showing that the bow drill isn't always easy.
INstead of dripping the raw water into the can, use the cloth to cover the can top tightly, then hold the can under water (top up, of course) and let it act as a pre-filter. Otherwise, tiny debris and critters will be dripped into the can. But hey, it gets sterilized in the fire, right? Just a bit chunky-tasting. ;-)
I always enjoy your video lessons. Stay safe.
I thought the same thing, only folded over to give more layers to filter through
There’s a thing called a milbank bag that brits have used for a long long time. A guy in England still makes them. I got one. Good quality. There are some vids on this, I think.
I see that Dave Canterbury now also sells them.
“One, two, three strikes you’re not out, always another thing you can do”! Reference General Hal Moore. If a knife is what you got with abilities that is one big step to smoothing it. Well done Andrew.
Outstanding! This may be your best of many excellent videos. You don’t just talk, you show how it can be done and do it. A great testament to sentiment of “the more you know, the less you carry.” Well done, Major.
"The more you know the less you don't!"
First time watcher, and I have to say you are a good instructor! You show your failure and tell the reasons why. You have a level of detail on what you are showing that other instructors lack. The Corporal sent me over and I like what I am seeing!! Keep the videos rolling and I will keep watching and learning!!
A couple things,
1: Cat tails, ok,
A; fluff, fire starting, grind into flour, insulation.
B; The leaves, far better fiber for snares and fishing than bark.
C: First Aid, the slime between the cat tail leaves is an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic.
D; Food, the shoot can be peeled and eaten, the tip in the spring can be roasted and eaten like corn, the root can be boiled and eaten like a potatoe.
E; Gear and Shelter, the leaves are easily woven into mats, blankets, shelter covering, and baskets.
The Cat Tail is one of the greatest survival finds you can locate.
Improv is the spice of life. Nature gives us all we need. Oh yeah corporal Kelly sent me and I am glad he did!
I appreciate how you don't ignore the hazards of wandering undead.
God! So many vampire jokes come to mind! I don't know if I should be quoting "Buffy" or Bela Lugosi to get a bigger laugh . . .
Always go with Bela.
@@jamescrowe7892 "Always have a means of purifying water . . . because I never drink . . . wine."
Tools is number 2 in survival.
D most important thing is the "will to survive"
My tip for your friction fire: instead of dumping your coal into the bird nest, invert the bird nest and place it on top of the coal, then flip everything over. It is less “traumatic” to the coal and it tends to stay actively burning more often for me that way.
Corporal's Corner sent me, subbed!
With the land nav, how do you know which direction N is, and S once you have the stick correct?
@@Dire_wolfe If you are in the northern hemisphere, the sun will always be to the south at midday and you can adjust a bit for other times of the day (rises in the East, sets in the West, etc.). In the southern hemisphere the sun is always in the North.
Corporal Shawn Kelly sent me. Knife is one of man's first tools if not the first tool!!! Dude both you guys have this radio voice to start with and methods that put Tom Hanks to shame!!! Nice snare!!! Love watch method and charcoal is good for taking impurities out of the skin!!!
That my friend, was a nice peace of craftmanship on that bowdrill. This is hard, especially with improvised materials.
Reminds me of the '80s era movie "Band of the Hand". A social worker took 5 juvenile miscreants into the Everglades to humble them and teach them to rely on themselves and each other for real survival. All he gave each of them was a knife and said a good knife will provide you with everything you need to survive. Who, outside the bushcraft community, knew back then that single concept was beyond fantasy? I will definitely have to remember about the charcoal. You are true to your word. You work hard to keep your subscribers. Bravo Zulu.
I totally agree. Few are talking about the mechanics involved with some of these skills and proper planning, knowledge and the will to survive. I've had my own near death experiences, and the will to survive is huge. Bare bones stuff, for sure. Well spoken on multiple subjects.
i want to hear those stories
thanks for continuing to share your expertise with us…
You continue to be my favorite source of survival information…
And you have a lot of competition…
Have a safe week… God bless us, everyone 🙏🏻🥰
Outstanding as usual! Maybe this old dog will get the pleasure of meeting you one day.
I k ow this isn’t relevant to the video but let’s go mountaineers!
I am amazed at the several pieces of information/techniques that is new to me ! I’m an old man now. I fought fire, served in the military, went off grid for like eight years, studied survival both American military, the SAS, etc. and Tom Brown, and others and practiced, pretty much all my life. Back in my day there were very few age requirements to carry a gun to go hunting. I had a license at fourteen. My father taught me to shoot around the age of ten. This is an old post so possibly will never be seen, but just in case you pop in, I just want to say thanks.
I love the bow drill set up ! I’ve only used skinny sticks, and the way you match the stick to the block ! I can only imagine how much easier, and direct as that. I’ve only seen kind of a dished out block, and sometimes can be difficult to keep in place. It seems common sense, but I don’t always claim an abundance there. Mainly it is all nuances of things I already knew, but I believe your way is better.
I do feel the need to comment that if you are going to attempt trapping your food, you really need to put out a bunch of them. Same with fishing. If you are stuck in the wilderness for some reason, create many fishing poles to increase your chances.
Thanks again !
It's Survival Sunday!
Whoo-hoo!
😀👍
The Corporal sent me! Thank you for your service!! ❤🇺🇸❤
Hey, you went “on a Bender” with that debris shelter! I love the bender shelter. It uses smaller resources, and is plenty strong for a temporary shelter.
The bender shelter is my go to shelter but not the best shelter for rainy area's imo , yes more debris can be added but just not enough pitch to shed water.
Thanks for taking the time to slow down and show even the simple stuff. It really makes a difference.
Great material. Clean hands, first aid, snare, emergency direction communication, etc. Solid material, thank you for sharing. And thank you to Corporal Shawn for directions here. Great class , informative, engaging, and enlightening. Again, thank you. Will be back to watch more.
Comprehensive instruction delivered very effectively in a short period of time. Nicely done, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you
Another trick in getting the water into the can, is to turn your fist so that your thumb is pointing in a "thumbs down" gesture. The water will follow the contours of your thumb as you squeeze the cloth and flow into the can opening. Great videos and the Corporal sent me here
i like the ' using rocks ' for ways of search and rescue finding the lost survivors. great content as usual! thanks
The inner strands of paracord can be used as fishing line. Then a hook can be fashioned from the soda can tab by bending and breaking it in half. Awesome video, really enjoyed the content.
Corporal sent me...this is a good thing please don't quit giving us good advice
Excellent! Every time I see one of your videos I learn something new. I never thought you can use ashes to clean your hands. It’s very important to prevent invalidating diseases, and keep up your morale too. There’s no use in taking every measure to save your life just to succumb to a hand to mouth infection! I use to always bring a bar of soap in my rucksack/bicycle bag, but your trick gives me one more life saving option. Well done!
The Corporal recommended your channel! I’m really glad he did. Love it
Less is more! As in less gear is more skills! One of your best vids yet! Keep up the great work!
You are becoming the top channel I look forward to seeing new vids!
Thank you!
He IS the top content provider.
The watch tip and charcoal one are good tips I didn’t know that. Outstanding
Another great informational video! Particularly liked that you did it with the Mora companion, a great little knife that almost anyone can afford. Thanks my friend 🤠
but it has a rat tail, no comparison to a full tang
Sitting here with my little guy while he’s feeling sick and your intro music came on and it had him grooving 😅 We love your work!
I wonder sometimes, if there are no hostility in a wooded area, and l could have a Gun or a Knife, l would choose the knife
I collect Knives just regular hunting, survival and utility, not historic pieces, fantastic tools they are.
Alot of skill in your hands Sir. Thanks.
I watch corporals corner I watch Survivorman I watch Joe Rogan I watch Dave Canterbury and so on and I watch your Channel Ranger you guys keep up the good work this is the true meaning of being self-sufficient
Great video, thanks for show your fails at fire making, normally gets edit out. Show real live fire isnt as easy. Salute
The Corporal recommended your channel. I like your direct approach, survival must be direct.
Hi,
Watching Corporals Corner and saw his shout out about you and your site. Have been following you for some time now and think you do a fantastic job. Your videos are full of good information and your presentation is great. Material is presented in a understandable and authoritative method. I continue to look forward to what you are going to present next. Continue the good work.
Thank you,
Randy
I have not seen the soda can used for that since I was a kid. No one talks about finding and recycling other people's trash much any more. And the debris hut, I bet I built a hundred of those as a kid. Great Video.
I watch Cpl. Kelly a lot and he has talked about you. I’ve watched you some before, and I’m going to start checking you out on a regular basis. This was a good informational video. It was interesting how you built that shelter. I think I have some of that plant you mentioned growing in my yard. Going to have to check it out. You will be joining Cpl. Kelly on my regular watch list. Keep up the good work.
Sometimes we overlook the obvious...tearing off pieces of clothing for cordage...thanks for that.
Love your practical, common sense approach and showing skills in action...not just gear.
REALLY ENJOYING YOUR CHANNEL!
🇹🇹
Been a while since I've commented, but this is just perfect timing because I've been considering a more minimalist approach. Once again, you never fail to impress, sir.
God bless you, Ranger!
Same here been watching Donny dust video's and adapting his waist/over shoulder cloth gear carry and Matt Graham wool poncho . I carry more than Don or Matt but far less than usual or many others just for my own challenges.
Hey Brother, welcome to the community. Corporal's Corner sent me and I love your channel from what I see of it. Please continue your training with Dave Canterbury. He is one of the best, up their with my favorite Ray Mears ( give him a watch, if have not already, please). Good luck with your retirement. I am a retired, and tired old Marine.
Fantastic topic. Often overlooked are the two most important survival tools. The mind and the body. Like the knife and axe they should be honed razor sharp and like fire constantly managed to effect the most efficient output.
Love the knowledge you share, always on point. Thank You
The vampire stick is as critical as fire. Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks Andrew!
Happy to support a veteran and learn skills from you. So far I have found more depth in what you have to teach and share.
I love this idea. I have always said that as long as I have a good knife with me (and I always do!) I can survive !
Love your channel Sir, your teaching style is easily understandable and all you teach has " The ring of truth to it."
Great video Andrew!! You do an amazing job teaching us your skills! Keep up the great work!👍🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for your service! Corporals Corner sent me here to support your channel. I support all military channels and especially students and instructors associated with Shawn Kelly. Glad to be here!
Very good stuff. Heard about your channel from the corporal’s corner and looking forward to learning from you as well.
The Corporal sent me and I'm glad he did. You keep makin' 'em, I'll keep watchin' 'em.
Such solid advice And instruction.... The knife has got to be the greatest invention of all
I love that you're using a Morakniv.
Great content! Can you share some fitness training tips from the military's perspective how to gradually improve strength, stamina and endurance? Any amt of gear n knowledge is useless if you're out of shape...
Pls share more on common easy to ID herbs/plants that are edible n with medicinal value. Thanks n stay safe.
I learned so much from this video , I think he's a true ranger teach us basic skills and tactics .
So good. Thanks for teaching, and filming, editing so we'll it shows and is appreciated.
The Mora people must make a HD companion with black blade. Nice video.
Great video! The cordage from sapling bark is one I will remember for sure. I have a tendency to over pack for going into the woods, and this video reminds me to slim down my pack and increase my skill.
Stumbled across this video. Like the fact you came clean an said it took you 3 tries to attain fire. No bullshit, no faking. Great vid. You earned another sub.
Thank you, I’ll work hard to keep that sub!
Amazing Sir! This video is just perfect!
Best regards from Argentina
Big shout out from Corporeal Kelly! Good stuff man! Thanks for contributing to our education.
I have gotten back into deer hunting after almost twenty years and in doing so I have decided that I need more survival and bushcraft skills in case I get lost. I have watched a few of your videos as well as many of Corporal’s Corner videos and have found that I need more survival skills. Keep going.
Outstanding job showing different ways to get to the same out come. Outside the box thinking is a great skill.
Thank You for sharing your knowledge !!
Gaining knowledge is the first step in being prepared for survival in any place !!
There are SO MANY things to learn to help a person !!
I noticed that you grabbed some Bull Rush's at the beginning to use as a fire source, or were your intentions to use the edible parts & cook them in the fire ??
Keep up the great job, the world needs people like you to help us learn !!
Once again Thank You !!!
The Corporal sent me. You guys are so inspirational.
Ranger use rocks for signal device.
Me in Kentucky: There's rock everywhere.
Many people "know" but few can teach. Thank you for these amazing videos. I value your time to share this information. Great channel.
In a woods that’s already as dry as tinder, these techniques are easier to work successfully. Be sure to get lost in a dry, leafy woods, that also has water.

I watched Corporals Corner this morning (31 Oct 2021) he mentioned your you tube channel, I looked you up to discover I had already subscribed. So with that your latest show happened to sinc with Seans latest show hand in glove. I am working on his pocket survival kit already and your show has brought back much "old training" Great job! Keep up the good work, thank you.
CB Spady
Appreciate you, Andrew!! Always a lesson with you!!
I came from corporals corner. im so glad he turned me to you. super informative, already learned new things on my first watch. thank you brother. please keep making.
Excellent instructions 👌
Great video Andrew!
Cattail and plantain are great resource plants.
Charcoal can also be used to clean teeth, and with water rinse one's mouth, and of course as a medical aid for poisoning and/or upset stomach!
I always see shelters like that and think damn cool, but then Im like.... bugs wtf nope 😄 hate bugs, Im a winter camper because of them damn things lol.
Love the videos man! Always do awesome work your efforts are well appreciated here. Keep on keepin on!
The absolute best survival video EVER !!!!!!
Great stuff today Andrew Van Helsing! Wood Vamps are always spoiling our good time in nature…lol. I’ll say it again, outstanding integrity on the fire today. Friction fire is fickle, and more often than not it’s a multiple attempt endeavor. Not a big deal; just step back, reassess, and hit again. Don’t give up! I liked your shelter today too. I had an instructor up in the Boundary Waters (BSA summer camp) build something very similar, but lower to the ground, just big enough for him to back into feet first and then plug the door with some debris, like an above ground den… Scouting days! Keep up the Fire Andrew!!!
Andrew's last name is more Dutch than mine is.
For real, you're one of my favorite shows. Very informative, very intelligent and very interesting.
Awesome Video, Thanks for teaching the information everyone needs to know. I've learned and continue to learn from your videos. Thanks Brother! Have a Great Day.
The corporal sent me over , like what I’ve seen so far . Keep up the grind and we will watch . Thank you for your service as well. God bless you and yours
Being down to a knife is definitely FUBAR, and sadly, almost nobody trains that hard. Including me....
Not FUBAR if you have a knife, evidently,
Keep the FUBAR for when you are dead,
I train down to no gear even though I always have my edc it's a challenge to ones self just carrying a lighter or ferro rod and building a fire is old hat real fast.
Another great video. Thanks
@@treerat6959
You should train with less and less,
You are correct,
This Is The Way
Pocket kit or even a haversack kit should keep you from getting all the way down to that, like canterbury says, youd have to lose your pants
Seems like this stuff we did for fun growing up in remote Alaska. Much respect, and thank you as always for the reminders, and new knowledge.
You are such a good teacher man. Every video you put out is extremely informative and could save someone's life. Much love and respect bud. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
The Corporal sent me. I was in the Marines myself. You got a new subscriber.
I might have gone overboard with my knife, went with the Topps Apache Dawn. Beast of a blade, but, for delicate work, a bit much. So, I suppose s simple, quality folding pocket knife for smaller scale tasks would be a good thing to add into my bag.
I use a machete and sak those are my go to's on the machete sheith is cordage,psk,6" file to take nicks or curls out of blade from ground clearing,small wet stone and about18 ft of brass wire for snares or repairs. My sak is in my pocket landyard as is my Marbels match case .
You could also carry a Mora 106 which is a small blade carving knife.
you should have a good edc blade on you mine is a kershaw ss volt about 35 dollars one hand assisted liner lock
Corporal sent me, glad to be here.
Really good video! Thanks!
Andrew you're the best instructor I have seen anywhere on YT or otherwise. Not only do you cover every single technique in depth, but you follow-up with a review at the end of the video of the 7 survival priorities...as a side note when I was taking Hunter safety class in Colorado, I was taught that when you're collecting firewood for your fire you should actually gather about 10X times more than you think you will need to get through the night.. Thank you for everything that you do and for sharing your expertise with us..
If all you have is "just a knife", you aren't cheating hard enough. :P The Mora sheath is a great platform for those of us who don't play fair. I see you took your bootlaces for the bowdrill, but not the paracord around the sheath?
I figured the sheath cord was too obvious!
You can also use the sheath to make a water filter.
You are just as cool as the Corporal said you were! So glad he recommended you! Thanks for your hard work & great learning experience for me!
Can you get a spark with a piece of flint or hard rock and a carbon steel knife?
Yes, Chert or Quartz works as well as flint, but true flint is only found in the Europe.
The top 4 minerals on Mohs' Scale of Hardness are quartz, topaz, corundum and diamond but any stone or other substance that is harder than your hardened carbon steel will work to get a spark.
Chert forms as nodules in limestone.
Flint forms in chalk or marl.
I like what you’re doing man. Corporal gave you the shout out. Hope to see loads more content.
