You can just grind a little flint from a dead lighter (don't strike) on tinder. Just roll the striker back and forth over your tinder, then when you strike the flint dust will ignite. And that little BIC flint can do it a bunch of times before it hits the spring.
👍👍👍 .. very informative .. thank you Andrew. Watching this Post takes me to the South African 'Highveld' (a central grassland plateau with elevations ranging from 4000 to 6000 ft) with it's DRY Winters .. nice .. and not appreciated until one no longer has it 😏. Here in Northern Switzerland, my local forest is wet .. everything underfoot wet! Not complaining though .. one must just adapt 😊. Nice one .. 'stuff' to practice in the New Uear and keep one from succumbing to boredom .. Take care ..
You are quickly becoming my favorite content producer. You present the info in a clear, easy to understand format without constantly trying to sell us products you make or endorse. Just good, informative information. Keep it up and happy new year to you and yours!
There are a bunch of useful videos from Andrew over his channel. The AF sere kit and its application, military fire techniques or sere cooking are top for me.
Sir, T Y again for some back to the basics. This kind of axe is a good compromise between being light, fairly short-handled, & capable of producing substantial kindling in short order. In my cold weather experience, fast production of kindling makes the difference in getting a resilient blaze going before hypothermia starts to assert itself. The cold, openly windy nature of the vast northern plains makes a quick & steady heat supply essential. You can really use an MRE or 2 as well to warm you inside while getting some heat from the open fire. For some longer term survival in this environment I also would definitely want to be equipped with equipment ideal for obtaining game to supply me, my dog, & hopefully a Florence Nightingale, with nutrition.
When it comes to CORDAGE, very few if any of the YT "experts" ever talk about carrying lengths of wire. thin welding wire or copper wire , even stainless steel cable that is very thin and often used for hanging picture frames, they are all very useful; especially when fire is involved.
Living in North Dakota, I always appreciate the cold weather videos. :) I also appreciate that for practicality, you haven't done away with paracord like some people have. Other cordages do work better in some cases, but paracord is still useful.
Excellent! I'd never take a step in the wilderness without a knife and ferro rod, a Bic in the pocket and as I'm surrounded by desert usually, a container w/water. I keep 4-feet of duct tape rolled on the axe just under the head (or on machete sheath - handier in the desert), 2-ft. around the knife sheath and 1-ft. (ripped lengthwise for 2 strips) on the Bic - life saver when things are wet or iced. You have got to have a way to dry out tender long enough to take flame or spark. If/when you get a fire going - dry out more tender and stuff it in your pocket for next time or if you lose your fire. You'll know when that fire dies at 2am and it's 10F 'freakin' degrees out and all you have is that wool blanket - trust me! Those 5Cs are 'minimum survival' for freezing temps. Andrew has a video where he has less (no blanket) and sleeps overnight in below freezing temps - he does get to eat rabbit though if I remember correctly....
Danke für ihre Videos Sie sind eine echte Inspiration für mich 😉👍🏼 Danke für die tollen Skills 🤩👌🏼 wünsche ihnen und ihrer Familie einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 🍀🎆👋🏻❤
Excellent video!!! Thank you for all you do for us… Sharing your knowledge with us is so valuable… You are definitely making the world a better place… God bless you and your family 🙏🏻❤️
The more I watch your videos, the more convinced I am that you're the real deal. Please keep making the content and I will keep watching and recommending it. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Man, after one of Andrew's videos, our young troops enjoy time around the family BBQ pit discussing what they have learned that will help them here in our tropical home. Fire-making skills in our normally humid environment and water collection and purification are most often their top choices. We appreciate the bonus of cold weather survival information for when we might be north of home base in the mountains where it can get frosty. Looking forward to more superior content just like this in 2024!
So glad you made another video! I watched all the ones you have posted in the fall. Wish you could do weekly or bi-weekly videos. You are so knowledgeable!
I used to really look forward to hanging out with cool military guys like you as a kid. Learning valuable real world stuff kept me out of a lot of trouble. 👍
Dang, still putting out this excellent content at this ridiculously busy time of year! Respect mate, from the state of South Australia. You're a solid rock.
@RangerSurvivalAndBushcraft I really appreciate how you break all these skills down in your videos to the point they seem doable. Been watching your videos a while now, and they are easy to follow.
Great content Andrew! Love the cold weather skills! I just learned a new way to hang my cook pot via green sapling! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!!
As always, another outstanding tutorial/video. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge of survival and field craft, Major. Keep your videos reeling in !!!
Thank you so much for this video. Besides any others your paracord skills are outstanding. A detail tutorial for beginners on nodes as well as closer look on how to bind nature materials together such as the carry frame would be fantastic.
These are great videos, like the content on Wool blanket and how it's used. This is something that's not changed in a long while .Scottish drovers in the 1770's did the same with their wool blankets,so it's well proven.
The biggest thing I notice is people rushing their fire lay, and forgetting a base to start it on..That base is overlooked so many times, and it is important, if not crucial in bad weather scenario..
Although I grew up using axes, I prefer a machete. It's particularly easy to split smaller wood. Chopping down small to medium trees is actually easier when dexterity is limited. The machete has uses axes don't have. If I have to split a day's worth of wood, I would rather use an axe but that wood has been chopped, seasoned, stacked and stored near a proper chopping platform.
Always enjoy your videos and I often learn something that is applicable even beyond survival. The blanket fold is a great hack for around the house as well!
Quiero Agradecerte por cada video en que enseñas de una manera excelente ....tus videos me gustan mucho ...aprendo mucho ....este video en particular me encanto!!!!

2:15 what knife is that ? I want one
Dankjewel voor deze handige tips. 😊
Literally studied the way he rolled that blanket for about 5 mins. I’m definitely folding all my blankets like this forever now!
Merci beaucoup pour toutes ces astuces, c'est un plaisir de découvrir tes nouvelles vidéos que j'attend toujours avec impatience. A bientôt !
De rein!
you forgot the sixth C...coffee....
More important than fire!!!!😂
And more coffee ☢️
My favorite of all the Cs
& Caliber Choice!!! 😂😂
Nonetheless great topic brother
Yesssirr
Thanks for the help. I'm getting out of the military in a couple weeks and this will help a lot!

Agreed, this guy is straight to the point and an excellent instructor.
There are a bunch of useful videos from Andrew over his channel. The AF sere kit and its application, military fire techniques or sere cooking are top for me.
That's why I also think he's the best outdoor instructor on youtube ! No shameless plugging and no constant whining about views 👍
I agree great minds see the same details. RS

Love the video! No fluff to the point. Keep up the great work
Hi Andrew , greeting from Australia, thank you for your time to make these videos available.
When it comes to CORDAGE, very few if any of the YT "experts" ever talk about carrying lengths of wire.
thin welding wire or copper wire , even stainless steel cable that is very thin and often used for hanging picture frames, they are all very useful; especially when fire is involved.
I loved this approach using skills, 5 C's, appropriate for everyone. Everyone will face cold weather.
Living in North Dakota, I always appreciate the cold weather videos. :)
I also appreciate that for practicality, you haven't done away with paracord like some people have. Other cordages do work better in some cases, but paracord is still useful.
You can walk into any Walmart in the country and find para-cord. Bankline is dependent on sales.(50/50)
