Brother, your method of instruction is top notch. I've seen a lot of guys on the old KZfaq that have no business teaching anyone anything, but you definitely know your stuff. I've been building my survival skillset for decades now and I still find that I learn something new with almost all of your videos. Thanks for so generously sharing your knowledge with us! Keep up the great work!

Loved the concept of keeping things ready to deploy the shelter faster. I ended up finding w/ the MSR stakes that pre-tying a 30'' loop of bank line to 4 of my stakes allowed me run them through the grommets and use a girth hitch as well as tie the prusik on the ridgeline (with stake pre-attached for a toggle) super quickly. If I had more toggles I'll run them through the girth hitch to protect the grommets too. It works or me because the MSR stakes are narrow enough to fit through most grommets and have a small eyehole to feed the bank line through. After tying the prusik on the ridgeline, as used for the lean-to, I then just fed the stake through the grommet and had it serve as a toggle. Really easy and quick to set-up, at that point it's just a matter of getting the ridgeline up. Thanks for all of your excellent instruction!

I'm livid at the fact "we" as a people used to be self sufficient, but now take away power and or water for a few days and we are in danger of dying just about. The Amish got made fun of for shunning electricity but I'd say they were wise not to trade their survival skills for modern conveniences. I'm studying all I can to gain self sufficient abilities. Thank you for these videos, they mean a lot to me for that reason.

@Kikibird03... Not all of us are unable to live without the modern conveniences. I went through Hurricane Katrina, and where I was, we were out of electricity for almost 2 months. I'm a veteran, so used to living without "luxury". One thing I did learn is that sleeping inside without a fan or A/C isn't fun. Not much air or ventilation. God forbid it happens again, I'll sleep outside under a tarp shelter, with either a 4" thick folding foam mattress, or a decent inflatable one. But you're right...too many people who aren't able to cope without creature comforts. Have you seen either "Corporal's Corner", "Ranger Survival & Fieldcraft", or "Stoker-matic" here on KZfaq ? "Corporal" is a former Marine Corps Corporal, and "Ranger" is an active duty Army Ranger, rank of Major. "Stoker" is an active duty Army Sergeant. I'm subscribed to all 3. For what it's worth, I'm not easily impressed... All 3 of them are very knowledgeable and produce Excellent videos on every aspect of Bushcraft, from Natural, Tarp, and Semi permanent shelters, Fire making, Compass use & land navigation, Cooking, Hygiene... ... Even though I've had basic military survival training, I've learned a lot, increased my confidence and knowledge.

The plow point is my favorite "quickie" shelter. When time isn't an issue, there's a more involved version of it where the front is more closed. One trick I came up with for a tent pole (no trees for tying up a ridgeline) was using .30 cal & up/shotgun cleaning rods. They are appx 1 ft long sections that screw together, and are light weight aluminum, which makes them easy to carry. To top it so it doesn't poke a hole in the tarp, put a hole in a fishing bobber, or a small rubber "golf ball" cat toy, or the cork from a wine bottle. Also could use as improvised fishing rod, poking/probing for snakes...

Enjoy your channel! I just found it this week.It beats Tv by a 1000 yards. Rarely do I watch Tv its usually KZfaq or radio or books.This is much more useable than college, believe me. I like the useable knots. I am spending more and more time outdoors so it comes in handy. I'm curious to see and hear about your medical kit. I have 2 kits I'm working on.....one for the belt or in a small pack with my other gear and a dedicated medium pack with only medical gear. I use a separate belt with items, a medium pack an ultralight pack and my military issue duffle bag for tools and such depending on the situation. I was an emergency room nurse/trauma nurse for 28 years. As is most of the case knowledge and experience is the best tool. Thanks for the knowledge.

Glad to hear it. I tend to steer clear of specifics with the med kits, I think that is it difficult to balance with such a varying degree of skill level within that field. I don’t want people just buying and carrying medical gear based on my experience when they may not know how or when to use it or what plans need to be in place already for after certain interventions. I would prefer folks attend training in Wilderness First Aid and Wilderness First Responder and then put together their kits based on what they know how to use. However, aside from the military medical training and experience, I was also an EMT and ER Tech, so I do have some time working along side folks like you in the ER and know your skill level and would be happy to discuss specifics with you over email joshua@flintsteelcsg.com

I agree and Wilderness First Aid is good. What kind of first aid should you carry on your person is the question. For me I may carry a medium dedicated med pack for a larger group and longer trip because of my skill level. I'll carry a trauma kit when shooting at a range or climbing. In general, I carry things for abrasions and lacerations, eye problems, sprains/fractures, diarrhea and hypothermia. Anyway I enjoy the videos @@GrayBeardedGreenBeret

Somehow I missed what the 4th type of shelter was. Got Diamond, Lean-to, A-frame. Even stepped through again and didn't see #4.

As a convert into the cult of the, seldom used but, oh so versatile Figure 8 knot and toggle uses of the Enyart Simplicity System, how do you feel about using carabiners being used for quick ridgeline setup and breakdown? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and class times with us. Semper Fi.

Nothing wrong with enhancing a baseline system if someone wants to do that, with the caveat of being able to do it without the extra items being important. I have a couple shelter systems that have some Figure-9's from Nite-Ize that I use from time to time.

There’s so many tiny little one man shelters available now with mosquito nets in too. Surely it’s easier just to carry one of them in your kit

When you attach the first end of your Ridgeline, what is your opinion on threading the entire rope through the bowline versus passing through a bight and locking it with a branch or a spike?

@Josh, 10ft X 10ft. If you go up to 10x15 or 10x20, with a very little bit of modification, you also have a "built in" floor/ground sheet

82nd or 101st? Some Rangers do their training in the Florida Everglades. Have you made any videos on survival for Florida or that type of tropical environment? Man the mosquitoes are going to be a real issue and have your perspiration is going to really put on a higher need for hydration. Thanks for any referrals and where to go to find that information!

Hey Laura! I was in the 75th Ranger Regiment, 101st ABN, and 7th Special Forces Group. We just did a class down in the panhandle in November, I only captured one video from that called “Swamp Survival, Improvised Speedhook”.

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret which company's did you serve in, in each battalion and company group of the SF which you claim to have served in and which times for each respective time of service? or even a DD-214 would be great......... anyone can do a out door survival video and make sense of what to do....... i lived in the woods for 12 years on my own in alaska since i was 14.

MrCoors68 that isn’t the way SF works. You don’t sound like a person who knows much about it, and it actually sounds like you are a random on the internet phishing for info. Asking a veteran for his DD214 is not even something a potential employer can ask for, that’s not a normal thing to ask. You have an Army logo on your profile on here. What unit were you in and where did you serve? During what time periods?

@@MrCoors68 It seems to me that he answered (voluntarily) Ms. Laura a little bit of what you arrogantly asked just above. Anyone who can do a outdoor survival video I assume would include yourself would it not? I went to look but to no avail of course. I wouldn't show my own 214 to you or anyone else UNLESS your going to extend some sort of veteran benefit or payment to me or my family and I don't suspect GBGB would either. You gonna show yours or has it been destroyed conveniently by the spillage of all that Coors your drinking? (Smiling as I type) Should I assume by your posted numbers above that you are of the ripe old age of 24? Just curious and do you have tax statements, proof of no state appointed guardian for provisions of food and shelter and legal decision making, while at the manly age of 14-17, or maybe phone / internet provider receipts showing that your actually paying your own way to come online to make ignorant demands of others. Just some things to think about. Have a nice holiday season smoking some Coors marinated salmon steaks.
