Sometimes stealth camping isn't about avoiding society or the authorities. At times you want to just spent time in the woods by yourself without being bothered by others. Great video. Thank you.

Just taught my daughter how to use cover and concealment last weekend. We are working on first aid next. She is studying now and every night we have a hands on event. Then we review our mistakes and focus on applying our new skills. I even have a wound simulator kit. All of these skills have a short shelf life if we don’t practice them. Thanks for sharing this information! Rangers lead the way!!

Great video, love that you don't ramble on and repeat yourself 20 times and that you just present the skill and how to apply it. This has become my favorite go to channel for survival techniques.

this was on the ball as usual. has anyone noticed how true to the spirit this man has remained and not about selling STUFF. hes videos are about teaching and passing on practical and proven systems and techniques. too many are now just video shops. my hats off.🖖

Most people think that they’ll never have to use these kinds of tools in their life. I’d agree, a high percentage will never have to, but fun to learn regardless.

Drew, you're the only living mammal I've ever seen who can use a commando wire saw and NOT destroy it within 30 seconds of use. I used to think those things were garbage, but you've proven me wrong. Another great video.

My favourite channel for survival and outdoor skills. Straight forward, no flannel. Clear description.

My favorite teacher of survival… Have missed several weeks… Have some catching up to do… May God continue to bless this channel and all its viewers… 🙏🏻😍

Outstanding as always. Love the no BS format. Full of great info, usable and practical. Thanks Andrew.

I picked up the flare canister and made the full fishing kit you showed in a previous video. A really fun project. Highly recommend putting the kit together for anyone interested. Webbing schooling was invaluable. Great to see the drone flying again. Totally liked the canister on a stick method. I can see how that is very effective.

Practice makes perfect. There is enough information and skills presented here to keep our young troops busy for weeks. A big thank you to Andrew for another superior video. No fluff, just the facts!

Straight to the point no nonsense or BS instruction. Very informative. 👍

"Didn't see you at camouflage training this morning private Wilson" "Thank you sir"

This is definitely different from most other videos. Very practical. Thanks

Outstanding AF. 15 minutes of clear teaching about awesome basics which everyone understands immediately. Great job!

Your content is second to none! I always learn something new, brand new, for outdoor survival. Thanks Andrew. 🙏

Dude this is honestly the most no bs channel I've found. Great job. Love the format.

Oh man… that nylon webbing fold up was awesome! Many thanks! You have no idea how useful that is to me.

I have been doing the Commando Coil to my 25', 50', and 100' electrical extension cords for years because, as you said, it eliminates the rat's nest. I watched one of your other videos where you used the expended flare container for your hobo reel. Based on that, I used a 1 1/4" PVC pipe and cut it down to about 6 inches, painted it OD green, capped one end and added a male/female adapter and cap to the other end. I stored small bobbers, fishing hooks wrapped with 100 mile-an-hour tape, and some sinkers inside it and wrapped fishing line on the outside.

Main reason this video is great is that it can stimulate adaption thinking. Will to survive. Basic framework to evade, hide, ambush, regroup, etc. supposing prearranged signaling for rescue/regroup etc. Thanks for making the video.

12:30 I like to use the commando coil for all kinds of cordage and line. I also use a loose version for my extension cords. I find you can throw several bundles tied this way into a pile or a bucket or anywhere and they will not become all twisted up and rats nested amongst themselves. One trick I use for securing the end so I don't need a carabiner or any other object to secure the ends is I will leave enough line at the end and use it to throw a couple half hitches around the opposite side. They stay fast but are easy to undo thereby eliminating the need to use an extra piece of gear.

For my bugout bag, I carry a "LifeTent". They are small, sturdy, and can be used for tent, emergency blanket, emergency sleeping bag, and poncho, just to name a few. Water filtration is the most important thing you can carry. You can live without food for days or a week, but you will die without water in three days.

Excellent video 👍 these skill are gonna come in very handy very soon . Please do more videos on evading pursuit and detection

Brilliant, straight to the point, no waffle or excessively long shots of “the field” and great content!

Great video Andrew! I love the skills and love that they are not the same old ones that the others cover. And you show the how and why! Great job

Very informative! Basicly what our father taught us. He was 173rd A.B GB and Ranger 😎👍🇺🇸

Tip for those in areas that get snow and goes double for those far enough north to have limited daylight; White over camo pants, basically just a colored covering that goes over top of all your normal clothes. Dark green or near black top which can be a forest camo pattern, or a solid dark cover and you look amazingly like shrub at a distance. The white pants on bottom with a dark top works much better than pure white, or white on top dark on bottom. This works until you hit so far north that plants only grow knee high.

Easily one of my most favorite channels on KZfaq. Outstanding teachings. Thank you.

This was one of the most useful videos I’ve seen anywhere. No BS great demo and very clear and concise. Well done

Excellent video. Easy to remember and make use of minimal gear for maximum results. One additional item for the fishing kit for me is a few Gulp soft lures. They have scent in them, are tough enough to withstand multiple toothy fish strikes and catch pretty much anything. For a small amount of storage space they cut down on the time it takes finding bait. As I live in Coastal Florida fish would be a vital food source, and finding bait for salt water species can be tougher than finding things that bream or bass will eat, on land. Thanks for another lesson.

👏👍😎 You nailed it again, Andrew! Your no-nonsense approach in delivering valuable and practical information is exceptional. I'm always eager to learn more about military stealth survival skills. Keep up the great work! 👏👍😎

These concise point by point tips videos are your most helpful by far, thank you 👍 Happy to see this video went viral, you deserve the success Andrew 👍

Thanks again for your highly useful & insightful knowledge of outdoor skills. Your presentation is spot on & no nonsense. I always look forward to seeing your videos come in.

Hard charging excellent content, love the no bs delivery. Military trainer style - always loved that and retained the info.

Thank you for your service , and your continued service here in these videos .

The trick with the socks over the boot's remind me of a type of boot's the military tested in Vietnam for long range recon unit's. The boot didn't have a tread but a bare foot bottom so it would blend in with track's of the VC deep in enemy territory. Great video, I always learn new things to add to my skills. 👍

Great video Andrew. The Hobo reel was a moment of enlightenment for me.The video was straight to the point and really easy to follow. Thanks so much. Stay healthy. See you on the next video.

the horseshoe pack gave me a HUGE flashback to the early 80's - our assistant Scoutmaster showed up for our hiking merit badge hike with a boonie hat, horseshoe pack, sandals made from an old tire, and a pinch of salty attitude. Guess where he had been in '69-'70...

Im learning more here on this chan than I did with the ncos I had to "follow". Thank you! Glad I found this chan. New subbie.

Omg. This is gold. Real skills being taught on KZfaq I can't even believe it. Trouble is advanced technology like thermal makes some of this useless but to the average jo this is survival 101. Good stuff.

I'm devouring the knowledge of this channel in a single strife. Thank you. It's beautifully done.

I just stumbled upon this yt channel. Great way to polish up on some skills I've not had to rely upon in couple decades. Appreciate ur service brother!

Спасибо за хорошие советы 👍 Сейчас такое время что всем Людям нужно знать как выжать в трудное время. Всем мира, добра, бдительности и человечности.

I find your work of very high value I appreciate your effort and I am always learning new things from it thank you Andrew!

I have never heard of a "Yeti" aside from the cooler, but this is a very quick way to create a "ghillie" suit in the field. VERY awesome information!! Thank you!!

Andrew, another excellent, to the point, down and dirty video. What I have found is if you space out quick loops with small toggles ,you can keep your prusik knots spaced out without getting tangled and removing the toggles and a quick tug removes the loops. Check it out. Looking forward to your next video.

I wanted to become a firefighter (fireman) and when I asked before what can get you in fast to be employed as a fire fighter military or more skills than can be useful as a fireman. Your videos are good for anyone trying to become a fireman only minus the warfare tactics. But I always love me a survivalist videos as it’s cool. Thanks for your videos!

Outstanding tips, thanks for sharing. I sometimes hammock camp, the wind can suck the heat out of you, obviously a purpose made hammock underblanket helps, a jungle blanket is a good substitute option, have it under your hammock, if your hammock is an improv, even some bushes/tree/wall etc stopping the wind can help, anything to stop heat loss through the bottom of the hammock.

I love this kind of content! No selling, no pandering for subs, just, as you say, "down and dirty" lessons. I subscribed when I saw the first video, and I have never regretted it

Thanks for the info! Always enjoy your videos. I learn alot from them but we all need to practice and apply it more regularly...Thanks man! You are a true warrior...

While wrapping the hammock he looks like Jack O'Neill (MacGyver). Excellent

👍Somebody needs to make paracord with OD green guts.

Once again, outstanding AF instruction. I’m liking the inclusion of the drone.🤙

Awesome video, great content! Love this style and format. Appreciate your time in making it.

Once again, Andrew, thanks for an informative and enjoyable video. Well done!

Learned from our Boy Scout leader; who happen to be an AF Survival School instructor. Our campouts were unique compared to others. NO FOOD, except whay you hunted/picked/trapped.

Great video. I've been in some places in the Australian jungle where the vegetation is so thick that you literally need ribbons on trees to find your way out.

Something I carry in my fishing kit that I keep in a military ammo pouch , a jar of salmonetts , They work anywhere fresh or salt

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for showing this. I learn something else I never knew I was never in the military what times are getting tough and we need to learn as much as we can.

Great video Andrew! Thank you for keeping it simple.

I had never heard of that trick of putting another pair of socks over your shoes. I usually walk through water and, to do so, I switch into some water shoes that I have that are toe shoes. I find that, if I walk on just my toes, especially need the water's edge, the prints I leave are quite similar to some of the prints left by local animals frequently near the water's edge. It certainly would fool an experience tracker, but it would probably slow them down at least a little.

Quick and to the point. I learned more in your 15 minute video than watching hours upon hours of videos from other channels. Well done, Sir!

Cheers Andrew for showing us these invaluable techniques.

Awesome video... love the stealth tricks that you make it so simple to do.

We can thank the 9th Louisiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment (1861-65) for the horseshoe pack. They were the first to get tired of the Confederate Army's leather backpack and came up with the horseshoe. On the march, it was shifted from one shoulder to the other to relieve strain on the neck; and in battle it was shifted to the off-shoulder shooting side and sometimes was said to have stopped bullets. The man's Bible and tin plate may have been sacrificed, but he could live to tell his tale. This drop was great, as usual, and a def keeper. Thanks for the effort that went into it!

Thank you Andrew, I enjoyed your video, I love the horseshoe collar, in ww2 on the eastern front you see it used by all sides in old videos and in old drawings and sketches hundreds of years old using this style, Napoleons men used it.

Great video. This is one of my favorites. I learn something new with every video. Thanks 🙏🏼

A great demonstration of valuable survival skills! Many thanks!

Andrew- you finally made the point about your watch. The face of it makes a decent signaling mirror and the flash gives away your position. Good man! I knew you'd get around to it sooner or later! A love the videos. Keep them coming. coming coming

Fantastic, explanation, demonstration, and practical application. Continuing to learn. Thank you!

Great tips and crisp concise useful information. Thank you

Awesome 👍 Whole bunch of stuffs to learn that I haven't already seen on other channels. Love it ❤

Salutes 2 U again, Skipper! Liking the Yeti for an improvised Ghillie suit. In the Arizona Sonora desert the leafy, resilient cat's claw plant will often supply useful camouflage material. A compact pruning shears for quickly snipping off branches will be well worth carrying. One tactical advantage to setting up behind a military crest is that holding the head up for surveillance is less fatiguing from prone when looking uphill rather than down, especially when wearing a helmet (or "K-pot"). The hammock done with the sturdy tubular nylon webbing is more than just convenient. It will preserve you from a lot of serious varmints, such as reptiles, scorpions, spiders, javelina herds, etc. The shielded signal strobe is a great companion to helicopter rescue insurance. T Y, Sir.

This video was great! I'd never seen a Yeti before, but definitely going to use it. Super helpful skills that were explained very well.

The yetti!! Couldn't remember the name.. love the simplicity. Rad fishing technique also!! I always find new tricks and am entertained watching your channel.. Stoked bro, thanks for sharing

Great job! You brought some things back to my memory and taught me a few new tricks (fishing)!

Well done! I really like the quick demo of the horseshoe pack!

Great video, always something new. Ranger nails it again, thank you!

DAMN ... new fan here!! amazing work!!

Always wondered what stuff I missed not going to Ranger school. Thanks for some insight!

Really appreciate your work here .thank u

Thank you for posting, great content, well articulated and executed.

I would like to see you create a range your Boot Camp. That would be a great make it affordable so a lot of people can attend, and you’ll be providing a great service for those of us that live without a roof.

Another fantastic episode. Thank you for your knowledge.

Great tips and instruction, as always. Thank you!

Awesome video... Straightforward info no BS... Much appreciated!

Can you do a video of all the uses for a poncho in a survival situation I think it’s an invaluable part of anyones kit

Commando Coil? Oh! Daisy chain! That’s what our Rappel Master called in when we had to coil up the drop rope in Air Assault school.

Great video! I was in the infantry at one point, the only tactic I didn’t understand was wearing the yeti while using the signal mirror I mean you’re signaling for help and purposely already giving your position away

Always find your videos informative, sir. Carry on!

Another most excellent video! Amazing to see that yeti in action, you just flat out disappeared!

"Is your personal camouflage complete?" "Not YETI!"

Good, efficient video! Question, why daisy chain the webbing when it takes more room in a pack?

Great video. alot of the subjects you present, I had to learn while on the job, in the bush in Viet Nam, from watching the other guys who had been there longer than me.

Love your stuff brother. Keep it up!

Outstanding skills you are a great instructor. I salute you sir.

Always learning something new here. Thank you very much, Sir!

Love the video as well as the aireal footage with drone is very good to see signaling in practise. Would love to practise these camo skills also.

Thx for the vid Andy. Some of it reminded me about old school techniques.

Andrew... love your videos. What is the proper mitary name and number for the flare casing? I am trying to find them, but having a really tuff time.
