You NEVER disappoint… Juggling my morning chores… Always include this channel… As I’m learning about survival… I’m preparing, like the little squirrels, for winter…. Firewood-check Garden produce- dehydration, canning (and sharing, of course😊) Harvest time. Busy… but, oh so rewarding… May God bless /lead us as we prepare for winter… And survival… ( And may God especially bless you and your family, Andrew, as you share this much needed knowledge 😍)
Exactly the instruction our young troops need, presented in a concise and professional manner. We live in the tropics so our kits would be customized slightly, based on our needs. Thank you for another superior video.
Great video! Straight to the point and very informative. No worrying about what others do or comparing to them. You have obviously used and tried this info and now demonstrate for us what worked for you. Kind of like the old time NINJA, the BS died on the battlefield. Just bring home the good stuff! Keep making these great videos.
I spent my twenty in with these 1 quarts with tablets and never heard of "bleeding the cap." I bet I learn one new piece of info every week. Thanks much sir.
Andrew, you are awesome, brother. I've been out since 2004, and the knowledge that you're giving (not in this video) is outstanding and real. Since I've been out, I have maintained the mind frame of survival and preparedness because I believe you have to stay ready, so you never have to get ready. Keep up the great videos, brother.
I like that you said this kit could be a bug out bag, bail out bag, 72-hour kit, get home bag. It's good to know why the labels and the purpose of each kit, but sometimes I wish people would just learn the basic items and stop worrying so much. I think it makes more sense to have a kit and then when you need to act, just add specific items you need like a crowbar or a lockpick set.
The video is very good and complete, I have learned a lot from your channel. As I don't have much experience in the field, I always take cotton with paraffin (and I think duck tape is relatively expensive, it's good to have a good tape, and therefore I wouldn't want to burn it unless it was a last resort)
I have been bow hunting, hiking and camping since 1986 and still have the same backpack lol its a jansport leather bottom and is one of my most precious possessions next to my ruger security six and my Victorinox officer's knife.
@rangersurvival. Stop trying to scam people. You stole this man's profile picture and name. You are no Ranger and the only "giveaway" you have is a SCAM.
Bushy-tailed tree rat is good stuff. Very comprehensive set up, sir. Thank you for this video, and the knowledge you convey free of charge. I always appreciate good info for my survival.
AWESOME! I love your channel! Thanks for actually showing us how to treat water properly? Don't usually get to see how to properly do that & some of us need to see it done to remember it ? And just a thought but a native American once told me that I should always carry a "condom" in case something happens to all my gear at least it is the smallest way to carry the largest amount of water? Thanks again for your hard work. Peace James
Super, merci. Les vidéos sont souvent répétitives, mais complémentaires dans beaucoup de détails. Cela confirme aussi des mots ou expressions dont je doutais du sens qu'ils avaient. Tout est très utile, bien sûr, surtout pour un débutant pour moi et je bois tout ce que tu montres. Je voulais en fait te dire que j'apprécie encore plus les vidéos où tu montres des techniques traditionnelles comme les allumettes Appaches, ces savoir-faires populaires portent en plus une dimension culturelle qui fait du bien. J'aime ta façon de transmettre, méthodologie. c'est très "carré" (expression militaire française signifiant clair et concis). J'aimerais beaucoup te connaître, mais je n'irais jamais aux US faire un stage, de toutes façons tu n'en propose pas... A bientôt sur RUclips !
Video randomly came on and thought it was Corporals Corner the way dude talks lol actually thought it was a secret channel of his until I saw dude's face.
Also horizontal weight kills the shoulders. This is why a camping style ruck is critical. The military has never properly embraced the camping style ruck ethos, unfortunately. Guys' shoulders have paid the price.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Very informative ! Can I ask what knife that was? I have one but, I do not remember when I purchased it or from where. It's a great blade but, I do not know who made it. Thanks!
A wolfs tail is a way of marking places or progress during a tactical op. Can be used to mark specific buildings doors or windows indicating progress to prevent blue on blue casualties (from own forces fire). Can be made with luminous spray paint or visual flag signals as used in trench clearing in the SA bush war attacks on enemy bases. However, these cannot be seen at night. At night specific colours of single or sequenced chemlights can be used as per unit tactical SOPs. Infrared chemlights can also be used. They can also be used to mark own forces casualty collection points and to send coded preset communication words back and forth. Can also use strobes. The term historically originated in the use of holding the man in fronts coat tails in order for all troops to advance to the correct location when moving in single file at night. A bit like using the reflective patches on the elastic band on the old US steel helmet.
Dang Bro; can you please not do your videos after a tripple-espresso shot(?) .... LoL... I had to rewatch it 7 times to process the "hyper-talk" - hahaha! Excellent ideas as usual 👍👍👍
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE LUXURY OF A RIVER JUST NEXT TO YOU, I WOULD PREFER FOR THE GAME TO HAVE BEING CLEANED WITH FRESH WATER A LITTLE BIT. GREAT VIDS.
Assuming your question is innocent and not a wiseguy remark. Dog is/was a part of the diet in certain countries. The Vietnamese told us to not feed a dog for three days before killing and eating it. A healthy dog would be OK. A sick dog would not - and thus be suspect.
One of the biggest things I like about your videos Major Andrew. I never get bored watching your videos, a lot of folks talk about what they are going to do, or about themselves, and what they are trying to sell, for at least the first five minutes or more. Always some good to know info, very usable, from start to finish. If folks would look in your archives, they could mix and match a kit that would suite pretty much any situation. I hope you never get too commercial on us. I don't mind someone trying to sell me something, just teach me something at the same time. Outstanding as always. Catching and eating squirrel on the spot! That's putting your money where your mouth is! Lots of folks talk about it! Lots of posers taking over YT. Thanks for keeping it real.
I really appreciated the inclusion of cleaning and preparing the squirrel, in this vid; and your discussion of keeping your knives & sheaths clean, burning off pathogens, as we do in the microbiology lab...just a quick swipe through a flame usually does the trick. Most other instructors rarely show these things, and your inclusion of this information is likely to help protect your students/viewers. Thank you!
Excellent video, Andrew. A lot of great information. I especially like the hygiene advice concerning water purification and sterilizing metal tools from pathogens. I really like that knife you were using.
happy to see your channel is growing. every Sunday, I always waiting for you TWO to post. Corporal Corner and yours. both channels giving realistic and clear tutorial -- and it seems in the near future, we are going to be pushed back to rely on those skills again.
Thanks for another great video. I was taught through 100 safety program to immediately got the squirrel and open the cavity so it will lose body heat and wash it in the creek if possible thank you for showing us to sterilize your tools. I did not know that I should have.😊
Once again great video. I really like the discussion format and the background of what a soldier would carry in his assault pack. Your style of presentation is professional and enjoyable to listen to. I wish more success.
My favorite go bag was a modern duffle bag reduced in length, a waterproof extension inside (much like the M56 combat butt pack has). Although this is only 1 sack/bag it holds all except "utility belt equipment" (knife first aid kit compass, ranger beads, canteen, etc.). If I feel like a "long walk" I put a wwii era pack board on it backwards. Then I can add canvas, extra line, long handle hatchet. I always have my " wobblie" folded at top so I can reach up and pull it down in miserable weather. My poncho is a old west type painted canvas big enough to cover a man and horses backside by my grandpa in 1923. So I use this as a quick shelter too. I use a lot of LC2 and old Korean war equipment these days.
Finally and most importantly someone who actually show and tells you how to process game for when those MRE's etc have run out and you really need to fend for yourself. Also great actual demonstration of how to make your water safe to drink straight from the stream with the sanitisiing of the bottle top and threads. Thank you Sir for the info we actually do need.
Been awhile my friend , Hunting season is getting close ! Can’t wait for the season to begin , I’ve been squirrel hunting some waiting for dove and grouse Turkey, deer , that would be a perfect bag for that to vary compact ! Thanks for all your knowledge to pass on and for your service to the great USA ,
Hunters are important as predators in preventing certain animal overpopulation. Tularemia and other issues require awareness in preparation.@@choossuck7653
I am a fan Soldier but why an if you have then disregard because I've missed it. But because I have both I noticed you went from the Esee 4 to the Varusteleka 110 w/kydex optional stealth , with esee belt clip..?? Just a Marine Grunt observation/knife guy. Huge fan though JS...
Boiling canteen cup, fire cooking anyway ... One could reasonably , dip the tools in the boiling water ... right ... To get that sterile effect. The steam also, would sterilize Right
Still the best channel for survival, ty for all the great info
You NEVER disappoint…
Juggling my morning chores…
Always include this channel…
As I’m learning about survival… I’m preparing, like the little squirrels, for winter….
Firewood-check
Garden produce- dehydration, canning (and sharing, of course😊)
Harvest time. Busy… but, oh so rewarding…
May God bless /lead us as we prepare for winter…
And survival…
( And may God especially bless you and your family, Andrew, as you share this much needed knowledge 😍)
You're the best survival youtuber. Thank you for making videos ❤

Great channel - thanks for the videos ❤️🔥
Excellent video as always. You are an excellent teacher, videographer, and editor. Thanks for your hard work!
I really like the simplicity of this kit. The goretex bivvy and sleeping bag is very ideal.
Great instructions. It's great to see someone finally clean, cook and eat wild game. And include sanitation advice. Awesome brother. Semper Fi
Hi Andrew, you do a great job making these videos and explaining everything precisely. Thanks a lot. 👍
By far, best survival and patrol video I’ve seen. U.S Army 1971.
Always a highlight of the day to watch one of these videos.
Your training videos are outstanding!
BRAVO!
@rangersurvival. really? Wow, didn't even participate! When does the scam begin?
Best survival channel in years, thnks for sharing!
@rangersurvival. shut up scammer
Hello 👋 Andrew, thank you for sharing this informative video. Stay safe out there.
Love your videos; appreciate all the time and attention it takes to make them. Thank you!!!
Thank you!
I spent my twenty in with these 1 quarts with tablets and never heard of "bleeding the cap." I bet I learn one new piece of info every week. Thanks much sir.
I installed Telegram and I think I sent you a message. @rangersurvival.
That was great.
Andrew, you are awesome, brother. I've been out since 2004, and the knowledge that you're giving (not in this video) is outstanding and real. Since I've been out, I have maintained the mind frame of survival and preparedness because I believe you have to stay ready, so you never have to get ready. Keep up the great videos, brother.
As always, thank you Andrew for a great and informative video
I all ways enjoy the content you share I especially like that you are not whining about views
Awesome!! Thank you Andrew!!
Another great practical video from Andrew. Highly recommend to everyone.
I use the MSS jungle bag, bivy and a DD tarp. It has worked for many years and extra kit is added for winter.
Good vid. Thanks for uploading it.
Great video. Keep up the great work. God bless. From Glenn CATT. In Massachusetts.
Awesome stuff as always! Cheers from Canada! 🙂

Nobody teaches thefundamentals of survival better than you. WELL DONE THAT MAN!
IKR, the inverted bottle freezing was new to me, never disappoints.
@@worm_vaquero I've never watched anyone dress a kill before. Very cool.
He's definitely a great instructor.
Chris you are so right!!!
Because he lives this life so that’s the difference
Agreed. Good instruction Major
The video is very good and complete, I have learned a lot from your channel.

Very good video. Very informative, really enjoyed it.
The complete training for every day survival on the way to granny's house! Lol
everywhere I go there is a Drill Sargant there - great instructional RSFC
Nice bag... you said tactical tailor... my butt puckered because I know thats a $400 bag.
Yeah. Buckered my putt too also as well.
Great video! RLTW! 🇺🇸
@rangersurvival. Stop trying to scam people. You stole this man's profile picture and name. You are no Ranger and the only "giveaway" you have is a SCAM.
Bushy-tailed tree rat is good stuff.
Very comprehensive set up, sir. Thank you for this video, and the knowledge you convey free of charge. I always appreciate good info for my survival.
Excellent video as usual. WOW…like that bivy and bag set up. Wish we had that back when l was in the infantry…but that was the 1980s lol
Solid knowledge transfer brother...
Great video i learn something today.
AWESOME!
I love your channel! Thanks for actually showing us how to treat water properly? Don't usually get to see how to properly do that & some of us need to see it done to remember it ? And just a thought but a native American once told me that I should always carry a "condom" in case something happens to all my gear at least it is the smallest way to carry the largest amount of water?
Thanks again for your hard work.
Peace James
1# most overlooked, treat the THEEADS OF CONTAMINATED WATER BOTTLE!! thank you for stating this FACT!!✊️🔥✌️💚
Excellent video Andrew, picked up some new tips on this one👍👍
Excellent video
As an aside, I had no idea that paratroop terminology was so dirty. "Jumpable"... "Airborne Insertion"...
Pozdrav iz Bosne.
Excellent video! Good job brother! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Another great video
Great load out tactical Taylor makes awsome gear
Yup a littel luck goes a long way unless his name is Murphy lol

Didnt expect we'd be skinning a squirrel in this vid but glad we did, anyway
Love your outdoor out fits, what kind of pants, sweaters, jackets??
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Very informative ! Can I ask what knife that was? I have one but, I do not remember when I purchased it or from where. It's a great blade but, I do not know who made it. Thanks!
👍
Curious why not a Lakota fireplace
🇧🇷
Where did you get the bicycle sack from?
You don't carry tang or coolaid or Gatorade powder? It really helps kill the chemical taste in your treated water.
Carry a small bottle of Tabasco or some salt. I know you got some salt. 😅
Yeah Tabasco. The late great Ron Hood put that s&>/ on everything.
Hi Andrew, how many liter is this backpack?
what's a "wolf-tail" ? 2/75th alum from the 70's 🙂
A wolfs tail is a way of marking places or progress during a tactical op. Can be used to mark specific buildings doors or windows indicating progress to prevent blue on blue casualties (from own forces fire). Can be made with luminous spray paint or visual flag signals as used in trench clearing in the SA bush war attacks on enemy bases. However, these cannot be seen at night.

The term historically originated in the use of holding the man in fronts coat tails in order for all troops to advance to the correct location when moving in single file at night. A bit like using the reflective patches on the elastic band on the old US steel helmet.
A Wolf Tail is a field crafted tactical signalling device. Do a Google search for it or look for the Ranger Handbook Chapter 14 where it is explained.
Dang Bro; can you please not do your videos after a tripple-espresso shot(?) .... LoL...
I had to rewatch it 7 times to process the "hyper-talk" - hahaha! Excellent ideas as usual 👍👍👍
Whats the name of the knife ?
It wouldnt hurt to wash the meat before you cook it
GREAT VID, BUT, I HAVE ONLY ONE QUESTION, YOU CLEANED THE KNIVES, BUT, YOU DID NOT CLEAN THE SQUIRREL, WHY?
Fire took care of most of that and the dirt adds a little texture!! 😂
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE LUXURY OF A RIVER JUST NEXT TO YOU, I WOULD PREFER FOR THE GAME TO HAVE BEING CLEANED WITH FRESH WATER A LITTLE BIT. GREAT VIDS.
Question. What about eating your pet dog. Is it safe to eat as a last resort. I mean. You know survival of the fitist.
Assuming your question is innocent and not a wiseguy remark. Dog is/was a part of the diet in certain countries. The Vietnamese told us to not feed a dog for three days before killing and eating it. A healthy dog would be OK. A sick dog would not - and thus be suspect.

Corporal Corner
and yours.
both channels giving realistic and clear tutorial -- and it seems in the near future, we are going to be pushed back to rely on those skills again.
Great video. I've learned quite a lot from you in just the last 2 weeks. I appreciate it. Thanks for putting these out here, stay safe.🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Looks like could wear a Helikon tex fanny pack with it too.
Redundancy is the byword of survival Major.SUA SPONTE!🇺🇲
Andrew you're the goods! Every week a top shelf tutorial. Well done sir, thank you.
Love this channel! Great usable info in every video. Thank you sir keep them coming!
Good info, great teacher !
I recommend checking out the Bergen backpack from Helikon Tex, a spacious backpack for expeditions 😉
Excellent video. I like the fact you covered cleanliness of your tools and why.
U just rinse bacteria doesn't do anthing "pathogenic" it just shows up as required
RAD
Great video! Always instructive. Ranger on, Dude!
Thanks for another great video. I was taught through 100 safety program to immediately got the squirrel and open the cavity so it will lose body heat and wash it in the creek if possible thank you for showing us to sterilize your tools. I did not know that I should have.😊

Hunters are important as predators in preventing certain animal overpopulation. Tularemia and other issues require awareness in preparation.@@choossuck7653
Important to remove the scent glands near the legs before cooking.
👍
I still have by ALICE packs (rack sack) with frame. SML n LG. However, I do prefer the new 511 styles for hiking.
I am a fan Soldier but why an if you have then disregard because I've missed it. But because I have both I noticed you went from the Esee 4 to the Varusteleka 110 w/kydex optional stealth , with esee belt clip..?? Just a Marine Grunt observation/knife guy. Huge fan though JS...
