This guy is the shit. Andy is the most professional survival man going. I don't care what you say, this ranger means BUISNESS.
Most folk's don't know what sleep deprivation & ketosis(starvation) entails,Then having the pressure of your peers hanging over you,asking a myriad of questions,demanding the correct answers & then having the stress of "Git n' er done in a rather short amount of time.Failure is Not an option.....Ever! That's something that's kicked into you from the get go! Many Thanks to Andrew for giving us some glimpse of what is expected at SERE school,Cheers!!!
👌👌
Clear, concise and obviously backed up with practical experience. All your videos stand out as examples of really excellent instruction in every subject you cover. Thank you, from Uk. 👍
Your description of his vids are dead on & I believe that's why most of us enjoy watching them.
The channel for go-to survival tips. What's the word?
Comprehensive.
This video has to be the top fire video on RUclips. Hands down. Great job Andrew.
I love this video! Fire starting is paramount in survival!
Here for another outstanding AF video, thanks Andrew enjoy your Sunday Gunday
The 10 min challenge would be fun among friends.
Thanks for another outstanding video!
Where I grew up in Texas there were quartzite cobbles in all the dry stream beds and Indian arrowheads were commonly found in areas where flint was not found.
*Where there is Flint, there is fire.*
It's common on RUclips to bad mouth the Magnesium Bar. I was first issued one in 1971 in East Africa. I kept one taped to my knife sheath and one in my pocket. After you have used one a few times, it comes easy. My rod never came off the bar but even if it did, it is not a Tragedy.
and I just saw a les stroud survival kit review where he choose for his own commercial kit the stndard rectangular magesium bar and rod and he rates it.
Absolutely outstanding !!! Everyone should watch this video at least once a day !!!!
Great explanation down to the point no fuss no muss
I always carry a cut off road flare mostly because by the time someone realizes that they are hypothermic simply striking a road flare is difficult. (PAST EXPERIENCE) Like the exams, now the kids have to do it.
Never used a cut off flare. Have used full sized flare a couple times. What do you do with the back end of the flare?
Another great tutorial major. I carry a few "guaranteed fire in a bottle" on my body and spaced out through my gear no matter the terrain or time of year.
Thank you for another down and dirty right to point fire craft! Thank you and have a Great Day!
One of the best video about fire. Short but everything as it should be. Thank You Bro!
Remember everyone deployed. God bless you all. 🇺🇸 Thank you, sir. All the way.
One of the Best channels ever ✊🏻
Once a ranger, always a ranger. This is one of, if not the best explanations on fire craft that I’ve seen on RUclips, nicely done.
Nice time Andrew, you're a 🔥 by yourself! Rangers lead the way! 🇺🇸
Andrew , I find myself saying this again and again that was OUTSTANDING AF!!!!!! Your instruction was to the point and well communicated , easy to follow and well demonstrated!! I will thank you again for enlightening the class on Military training technics and their equipment. Outstanding!! This is a great educational technic you are using , short down and dirty videos on the subject!! Keep it rolling Andrew and we who want to learn will attend!!!!
One feature of this great vid is the reminder that practice makes perfect. The most pressure in building fire for me has been in the Yukon Territories in -60 F in winter, and hypothermic cold rain in summer . My Estwing camp axe with 26 inch handle is a handy lifesaver in enabling quick, hot, relatively large, durable fires out of dry spruce, as well as being a reserve defense weapon. The Granfors Bruks might even be more reliable. Re-cross your pushover dead spruce trunks over the fire to get more heat and light. You may be in large predator country. Pray for the best, but prepare for the worst. Adding certain tobacco to the fire for bitter smoke seems to help warn off hunting bear, cougar, and wolf. Make no mistake, hungry predators eat meat, and that is you.
I didn’t know about the tobacco trick … that is a really good pro tip! thank you!
I've owned 4 or 5 estwing axes and many brick hammers best you can buy only problem is they totally live up to the name estwing because they always fly away! Some before the rightful owner's first use.
@@markkoehler5110 I know a couple of 'baccy smokers who spent years in beary woods and hardly ever saw a bear. I have also had good luck with mosquito coils to warn predators of my presence. A bush dog that will not bring predators to you can be indispensable. Drawback to a dog is it that has to be fed, and appropriately. Packs for dogs tend to jeopardize the dogs in their maneuvering on predators. I always have a heavy rifle. .30-06 with good bullets can be enough for anything. .338 &.375 H&H or Ruger maybe better..
More great information from a great instructor
Great video!
On point.
Always clear, concise, without the fluff!!
👍
👌👌👌
Nice to see you back again, love your videos. Shout out from France.
I always learn something new with your videos, Andrew. You are an excellent trainer.
I admire your skills and dedication, a very interesting and pleasing video to watch indeed, thank you
Always enjoy your videos keep them coming
This was an excellent video on fire craft Major Andrew once again you nailed it sir thank you sir 👍🇺🇸
Absolutely love your videos!!!
I have to say… that beard looks very attractive~adds to the overall survival look…😊
I appreciate that you take the time to go through the challenging classes and then share it with us…
Like I’ve said before, you have a gift of teaching…
God bless you, Andrew.
🙏🏻🥰
Two things about beards. They tend to freeze the mouth shut in severe cold, and they are generally flammable enough to flare up when you blow on spark or flame.
Thank you for the great training. I processed the wood, used cotton balls with mineral oil to start the fire and, just like that a fire!
Great instruction as usual. Practicing these methods will make them memory.
Thank you for all the fire tips...great job...keep your videos coming as I continue to watch....
A fantastic instructional and demonstrational video on fire starting. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome!!!!!! Can you do this for other categories? Water, signal, food, shelter, Etc
Thanks for the instruction! It's always a fun time watching these videos.
Excellent video, as always. Full of practical, useful methods. Thank you for putting it all together in a no bs format. Bravo.
Great review of these procedures! Thank you for this.
Outstanding presentation Major!
Great video. I wish I could have taken this course in my army days. I feel the military has moved away from these basic survival skills.
They definitely have, the overwhelming majority of troops will never receive this training, which is very unfortunate.
Thank you for taking all of this basic, but often scattered information, putting it in one place, and explaining it concisely: saving and sharing.
The rundown of the various ignition tools is a valuable section, all by itself. (Learning the phrase, "aviator's Spark Lite" is a particular treat: I was calling it a "rotary firesteel.") And learnign about the tinder qualities of hand sanitizer is highly gratifying in the age of COVID.
While you are listing all of those ignition tools, I'd love to hear/see your comments someday on the "permanent match" items that are becoming popular as a middle ground between matches and lighters.
Excellent training and presentation as always.
Thanks Andrew!
A 16 minute fire master class.
I have to thank you again for being such a well of knowledge and taking the time out of your life- be it away from family or away from home comforts, even if its for a day and a night- to teach us. That's not something a whole lot of people would even consider doing for strangers on the internet. You and shawn kelly are absolute anchors in this community and if it wasnt for you and him- id have dropped camping years back when i bought garbage gear at walmart. Now im well situated with quality gear ive taken the time to research and figure out what works for me. And i have you and corporal kelly to thank for this. Youve allowed me to enjoy a side of nature i didnt think existed. God bless 🙏
I’m lovin this. Had I not already had the kids and wife out with me earlier today doing our weekly bushcraft and survival practices, I certainly would have taken on the challenge. Now I have something to try next weekend. Great video.
Freedom is everything ❤️💪🏻
The sleep deprivation is what gets you the most! And being an instructor pushing candidates during my time was most important for me so I knew that training kicks in even though tiered hungry and staying on the move doesn’t get you killed in a combat situation 👍
Good video 👍
Can you do a video on tracking and counter tracking ?
Thank you for making these videos. There are many who know things but there are few who know things and can teach them in an organized manner. Thank you again. Awesome videos!
"Hug size"! You're a true scholar of Mors Kochanski bushcraft.
Well done Andrew!
HooAh! Excellent training video!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Another great video. I’m going to practice all of this.
I knew everything but the mirror trick never, ever thought of that one, thx for the vid
Excellent content and well produced video! You knocked this one right out of the park my friend!
Awesome video as always, thanks for sharing the info!
My great-grandfather was a major (like you) in the First World War, he survived but his toes were amputated, sometimes I stop and think about what can be the difference between the consciousness he had and the one you have, if technology really changed the basic knowledge of the army (in my case of the Italian army). I would like to be a soldier like you, my Father is a carabiniere (a financial police) and my uncle an alpino (soldiers trained to survive sleeping in the snow and skiing to move quickly), the truth is that I find the soldiers knowledge slightly backward nowadays, if I will be a good soldier it will also be thanks to you, thank you!
Chilblains, frostbite, and jungle rot are common soldiering foot issues. Prevention is worth a pound of cure.
@@peterbogart4531 Based on what my father told me, those are things that army doctors know.
@@fabiobaso Pretty easy for soldiers to lose fingers, toes, feet, and even lives, through gangrene. The right footgear is totally important.
@@peterbogart4531 I'm am not saying that the army soldiers don't have the right gear, they have good equipment, I'm saying that they don't have the survival skills showed in this video
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend. Sincere thanks for sharing this vital survival information. You always do a great job in presenting the information. All the best to you. Stay healthy out there. 🤗
Always the best training, Sir. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the awesome content as always! My goal is to become a SERE specialist in the air force.
Excellent video Andrew , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Great video! I enjoyed it! Keep up the great work!
Great coverage of the topic! I have used just about everything you discussed in the video (except the mirror (but I do have an angle-head flashlight with the reflector I could use that way). I always carry at least three ignition sources and also a variety of tinders, including the duct tape, ranger bands and fatwood shavings. My IFAK has a vial of potassium permanganate in it, and I carry both sugar packets and a small bottle of vegetable glycerin that can be used to ignite a fire via chemical reaction. I like having the pot-perm because it can also be used as a water sterilizer, topical antiseptic or antifungal wash -- and for those uses, a little goes a long way! I've never tested my fire-building under timed conditions, so I might do that one of these days to see how well I would do on the course. Another great video, Andrew! Thanks!
Great video, thanks 👍
Just now got done watching, awesome af,well,I like your knowledge on survival out in the field, you just helped on some items to add to complete my fire tinder bag.
It's a little ironic that in ancient times anyone that could create fire was highly respected but now any 5YO with a lighter or matches can burn his own house down to the ground. I grew up camping, first with family, then my teenage friends. I always had matches or a lighter but never had any trouble getting a fire started quickly with locally scavenged materials. I've seen some guys try to hold a flame to a log trying to get it burning. Hilarious ! Your videos cover everything from the basics to advanced techniques that many of us had not yet known. Keep it up !
Another great video Andrew keep em coming bud. Stay safe and be well brother. Strength and Honor... 👊 🤙 🍻
Outstanding video Andrew, thank you for the great content ! Appreciate it.
Hooah Hooah, Thanks, it's always good to refresh.
Excellent training!
Allways agreat and interesting video thanks Andrew 👍
Amazing video, more of Them please 👍💪
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.
Great video, you cover all the bases and the SERES tests were an awesome thing to include.
Sir yes sir. Boy this brings back memories.
Fantastic tips awesome videos
Drew, you are fast becoming the Beast of bush craft on YT, Very well done video.
Outstanding video.
👍🏼👍🏼
Semper Fi Ranger
The Kukri is an ideal Survival tool/weapon for any soldier. 1 Hatchet/Tomahawk for chopping wood, 2 Machete for hacking bush 3 Knife for cutting 4 Drawknife for shaping 5 Slaughtering and Butchering animals for meat - and finally a Weapon mostly used in a stabbing technique for disembowelling like a Zulu Assegai. One tool on the belt with multiple uses for a soldier. Every soldier should have one. And not forgetting the Psychological effect when charging an enemy screaming "Ayo Gorkhali" - "Better to die than be a coward" is the motto of the world-famous Nepalese Gurkha soldiers
Really enjoyed these skills, always learning. Thanks again Andrew for another excellent video.
Good class hope to see more.
Very good video, never thought about how fast I can get one started, I will have to try it sometime
Awesome brother ,
Thanks for all the instructional videos .
Been watching for a long time now .
👏👏👏brilliant and in depth👏👏👏
This video is one for the books. You covered fire making from A to Z. I'm telling ya, this one rocks. Quick question: is that the Swiss Army Knife Fieldmaster?
Excellent content sir!
I just watched this a day after I went camping. It's funny that I must be on the right track if I see your camera pan past yer knife "morakniv" and yer saw "silky gomboy" and this exactly what I used to process my fire. I used the mora to make some fatwood scrapings then I took a ferro rod and the spine of the mora to ignite it. Took under 10 mins from unprocessed wood to a raging fire.
My gf was impressed lol said it was like watching naked and afraid lmfao. I had clothes on tho hahaha
This makes me pleased with my choices of gear that I've amassed over the years.
Great video! Thank you. Made me happy to see I did ok.
Another great tinder are guitar picks. They are made of highly flammable cellulose, cheap, and the flat form factor makes them easy to pack.
Now that was really good 😁 Thank you for that Knowledge and Wisdom Sir. I hope the People viewing this truly understand the Opportunity available to them within your Channel. I am going to watch more right now 😁👍
Really enjoyed this video, I hope this continues in a series from your learnings at SERE school. Thanks for time and effort in creating it
Thanks Andrew, for another interesting video, whith good information, depending on the weather, and location you were in for the tests, I imagine it wouldn't be as easy to pass all three tests as we think, lol. Cheers Major, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Great video! Thank you for sharing! I learned a lot from it as the quickness is necessary for survival and to move on to other tasks that are required for survival.
A great revision. Cheers Major.!
Thank for passing this knowledge 👍
Luv the refresher, we'll done!
An additional thought. The only methods usefully one handed are the spark lighter, Bic, and Lenses. If injured that is an important point.
I'm REALLY love Military Style!!! HOOAH 🔥😎🔥
Thanks for this video. I run a youth program in which teens are taught bushcraft skills. I'm going to incorporate this video into our fire skills training.
You're my favorite channel!!!
OUTSTANDING!
Great & concise!
