      Im 67, and i see people on here acting like experts and either giving out bad or obsolete info. Theres things they act like they thought of that me and my buds used 30 to 50+ yeats ago. This man here is straight-up. I was exempted from service but raised in a military family. I was taught all the older training, by my father and uncle (ww2), and newer training and tips from my cousin (Green Beret.) Yep. I fully agree on this fella. Straight to the point and always good info. Some i already knew, but he gives great tips and tricks that may matter a lot on what happens to you
      . Stay safe. Good travels.

    Your channel is easily one of the best of its kind on RUclips. Great info and SUPER concise. Other youtubers would have taken over an hour to accomplish what you did in 8 minutes. You should teach classes into making youtube videos. The collective value of RUclips would go up by a factor of 100,000 if other youtubers could be as concise as you.

      It's an Aviation Sparklite carried in military survival kits, i think comes in a case with tinder. I have never been able to find one but there are brass equivalents on e bay sometimes, and also you can use a depleted Butane light like a BIC. I am in UK and use the latter two items. Unfortunately we do not get them issued in UK.

    Damn good shit!
    I prefer to keep one larger hank. On the tag end I tie to my saw and chuck it over the branch I want to cut. I put a loop along the hank to larkshead onto the other end of my saw, and long enough so I'm not sawing underneath the branch.
    Limb falls, I'm not hurt, have material for structure and still one long hank of cord.
    P.S. don't cut limbs with bee hives. They'll swarm and attack, even if you just began cutting and didn't notice the hive.
    I already use my spoon. As I was watching I thought, "It's gonna get hot!" But then I saw you using a cloth... Peuw!
    A splash of water helps too.
    Awesome video Andrew. Thanks for the knowledge...
    You're an absolute 'encyclopaedia'!!!

    That sounds like a cool MacGyver trick

    • @RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft
      @RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft  5 месяцев назад +4

      Multiple spoons can be used as insulators combined with wire and sticks to prevent the wires from touching, when making certain field expedient antennas, and confine the flow of the current to project the strongest possible signal.

    Good stuff. I thought it was interesting that you extended your "reach" on the saw to allow yourself to remain in cover and concealed from view. The "leaf trick" was brilliant. Sometimes older tricks can be applied in new ways thus application makes them new again.

    Splitting a match is an oldie but goodie. If splitting a wooden match, it is best to start at the head of the match. The finer and sharper the blade the better. Starting at the tail risks "blowing" the striker head off the wood as it splits.

  • @jamescrowe7892
    @jamescrowe7892 5 месяцев назад +1

    A “like” as always. Question: do you think that the military MRE manufacturers actually intended for the spoon to be multi functional or was it an accidental byproduct? It seems sturdier than the run of the mill fast food plastic spoon which I am sure was intentional. All of your tips and tricks are highly valuable. As an aside, I attended an air show last weekend and some of your 75th Ranger Regiment boys from Benning (Moore) reenacted the D-Day invasion by jumping out of 2 C-47s in period correct paint schemes. Very impressive. You Airborne fellas have all the fun.

    • @RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft

      The spoon was probably just a happy coincidence. It’s a polymer so that means cheap plastic which makes sense = military.

    Sir, the Esbit fuel stove is a prized, compact, light, reliable source of heat for a quick, hot drink or soup, & ideal for having a confined flame in fire-prone environments. It is always with me. The compactness & resilience of the chain/commando saw recommend it over other tools. It should be extra useful with two sawyers teaming up, one from each end. My Florence Nightingale life-saver😇 is literally a strong asset for me again here. Thinking of a force multiplier, an edible map COULD be handier than even a dry leaf. Just an idea. I am looking for you to produce a homing, drone-seeking shotgun slug with an effective range of 300 vertical meters or more to mitigate bursts from heavy explosive drone payloads.
