I like how casually you mention that the spindle can also be used for vampires, most "survival experts" don't even bother to mention them

Really liked the video! No muss, no fuss, no long drawn out stories. Just the complete instruction essentials. All one has to do is to pay attention. Very high-quality instruction. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Hot damn! Loved that vid. Straight to the point, no scenic landscapes lingering on camera with wistful music accompaniment. No click-bait crap. Gonna get myself some Australian Chaga equivalent quick smart. Essential, light, carry material.

I follow you from Egypt .Unfortunately, we do not have forests to live this experience, but one day I will visit your forests and go through this experience. With my regards, an Egyptian follower

I think my favorite thing on this one was the bow saw. I never thought about carrying the blade separately and saving all that space

The best teacher is experience, each time you go out you learn more than any video can teach you. It's better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

Solid information! Beyond that, I hope everyone appreciates all the effort that goes into the prep, filming and editing of your videos, definitely a lot of work you put into your channel.

Great job, Andrew, Just to parrot what your other viewers have stated, ' Clear and concisely presented for all skill levels ', Thank you for your service and your time to instruct us on survival skills we might need one day.

I love these survival skill videos! I agree, that everyone should know these basic skills! Great job explaining! Experience is king! Everyone practice these!

Really is a perishable skill set, but even though you cover trodden ground it refreshes to terminate-stay-resident in our harried minds. And good to see you teaching this to students as a working instructor. Top notch.

Andrew, I like how you teach bushcraft and survival skills and then turn it right back to a lesson on daily living, self motivation, etc. Very motivational, and encouraging.

Ready for today top shelf edification. Today is the first episode I’ve watched since the successful removal of my brain tumor. After thirteen years of surgeries, chemo, and radiation I am tumor free. Stitches out April 13. Time to fulfill a promise to myself now-sign up for courses at the Pathfinder school. Carpe Diem every one. 🤙

2:48 The dig stick you’re making is called an o’o in the Hawaiian language. It is usually 5’-7’ and made from a variety of hardwoods found in Hawai’i like wiliwili, koa, ‘iliahi (Hawaiian sandalwood), kukui (Hawaiian candlenut) and was so durable, due to fire hardening and keeping it oiled to prevent boring insects and humidity, that it was passed down from one generation to the next. That simple tool, the dig stick or o’o’, kept an entire race fed and flourished for 1000 to 1700 years.

Outstanding as always, Sir. Your chair is a luxury version of the one I made a few months back on a short camp in some local woodland, mine was just a triangle of 3 sticks lashed together and leaned against a tree, with a folded German army sleeping mat (the ones that fold into a rectangle about 15 x 12 in) cushioning my backside, balanced on the lower crossbar. Not as comfortable as yours but still better than sitting on the ground. The square/shear lashings I learned 4 decades ago as a Boy Scout are invaluable for this type of construction, as we were not taught these in my time in the British Army.

This is literally the first bushcraft video I'm watching ever and it is super helpful! I also like how you point out to take care of the environment. It's so important.

Pothanger without using a cord is Great. I Never have Seen before.❤❤

Awesome presentation. Could follow everything easily. Love the plowpoint shelter. A super viable system.

Simple, informative, and could mean the difference of life or death. Thank you, for passing on your knowledge, & time making these videos !

going to be teaching my kids these skills as a homeschool topic. fun times!

I appreciate the details you put in describing your actions. Very helpful, thanks

Outstanding! I always learn something from you. I’m incorporating a lot of the skills you demonstrate into my “living history” hobby.

I like how after we’re done with the chair and it’s time to go to bed, we use the same bipod to set up a shelter.👍👍👍

All key skills for the troubled times we are living through. I have regular intel up on YT. Keep prepping guys 👍 🙏 ✝️

Awesome video. Rangers and SF have amazing ancillary skills to not only survive but continue to operate with minimal or no resupply and continue to take the fight to the enemy. This day and age when most have a break down over their cold latte.

Thanks so much. Enjoyed watching this with my boys. Very clear and informative. "The best video I've ever watched," said Master 7 years.

Rather than Chaga, which has other uses, I personally use horse hoof fungus ( Fomes excavatus ) which really has none. This video as usual. Is on point. Keep it up.

Thank you very much . Very useful information. Really appreciate the clear concise fire craft instruction !! Great video!

Great job as usual, Andrew! You set the bar just a little higher with each video!

Great video! You're one of the few I've seen that actually lashes right. People miss the frapping, and it's what makes the whole thing tight. Along with a backpack you might want to get into travois building. Hauls heavier loads, including injured people. Can be a problem in some types of terrain.

Always excellent tips and skills andrew we appreciate everything you do thank you!!

Best survival bushcraft videos by far... Greetings from Spain. 👍

Very practical, real and instructive video, without useless verbiage. I follow you bro

one of the best survival educational video I have seen these days.

Great video as always!! Thanks Andrew! Sunday is not complete without a Ranger Survival video!

These skills look simple while your watching someone else do them in the comfort of your home .. But need to be practiced if you want to be as slick & quick as this man ! Good stuff thanks.

Excellent video! It's been said the more you know, the less you need to carry. Notwithstanding that advice, IMO a basic survival skill, and an essential one is Proper Prior Planning (P3) ... For example: P3 allows one to know more through study and practice, hopefully enough to get to P7. This video is a great way to hit that P3.

Always a great class basic or advanced! Thanks Andrew. Bravo.

Love your videos sir, you are so on point with everything you do,and teach it in a very direct understandable way. Thank you for your service!

Great video! Having a high standard of perfection only ensures durability.

Always good to brush on stuff , thx for your service to the country and outdoor community

Loved the pot hanger. Hadn't seen that before. Thanks Andrew for all you do.

I’m always impressed with your learned skills. Thank you for sharing.

Another great class revision on survival. We never get tired of these knowledge no matter how many times we see it. Knowledge gain is learned when it's second nature. Any chance of doing a scenerio where you're searching for water & making shelter in an unfimiliar location.? Cheers Digger.!

Outstanding! Learned a couple new things here. You're the real deal, Andrew!

Excellent Video! Thank You so much for opening this Amazing Path of bushcraft in outdoor's adventures!

Pure and distilled knowledge, pay attention closely or miss important details.

All great skills to use in the woods, Ty for passing on your knowledge…

Those reproduction tinder boxes are nice. I have the steel one they used to offer years ago. It's fairly rusty now after nearly 40 years, and i wish I'd bought the brass one. I usually leave all the char in place in the box and set the tinder bundle on top after I've caught a spark and blow it there, then put the lid right back on to smother it. I also keep other material in the box that will char with every use of the tinder box. I do the same with the altoid boxes. After gardening, some of the old dried pithy stalks ( such as okra and collards) make good char and hold a spark Thanks for the tips and the video

Love these excellent skills, I never get enough of them, thanks Andrew!

Such an important video for all of us! Thanks so much. Have a great day all!

Thank you for the refresher course. This is notice I've seen for awhile almost 4 months.

Enjoyed that immensely. Thanks for going to the effort. 🎉

I am a newer subscriber to you channel. I've watched three videos. Excellent presentation and to the point. Thanks for what you do. From one veteran to another: thank you for your service. 🇺🇲

Good job on this vid! I really like the way you made a "backpack" to carry things hands-free. That would really come in handy when walking for a long distance.

Thanks, brother! I’ve seen some of these techniques in books, but the video really helps! 😁👍🏻

All I was thinking while watching another fantastic video, was how lucky a boyscout troop would be to have you as their leader.

Thank you for your hard work, knowledge and wisdom.

You get more professional with every video! Keep it up

I live in Florida, not so much woods..but I watch your videos Constantly like at some point I'll need to survive in the woods hundreds of miles from here. Well done sir

Always enjoy your videos. Very informative, no nonsense, excellent content. In my opinion your one of the best bush craft channels out there. Please keep them coming

Your approach at teaching is exemplary! Clear, precise, and well thought out. In my humble opinion, you are the best teacher on KZfaq.

Great video as always! Random question, I know there are a done of factors but with all of the practice you’ve had with a bow drill, how fast do you think you could get an ember going on average?

Good morning brother ☕️ enjoying the episode with the family. The elementary or basics are so essential, and your method of teaching is clear and concise for all ages and skill levels. I really dig the use of the braided agave cordage, many stick to paracord and are hesitant to step outside of that “survival gear box”, but I appreciate how it emulates what you can do with a natural cordage. I also appreciate the bow saw demo - buck saws are great, but in an emergency situation it’s less calories and effort over a bushcrafting buck saw. Thank you for all you do to teach and share, and motivate fellow content creators. - Scottie, TLBSS&B California, USA 🇺🇸

GREAT Skillset to have and , Practice weekly , monthly , Great presentation , thnk You !

Thanks for the video Andrew, I just want to say I appreciate you being so dedicated. I'll see ya in May or when the Advance BC course comes online. from an old Scout "Scouts Out".

Thanks Andrew.

Thank you for sharing tease survival tips., and also, thank you for taking the time to make these vids! I love learning about survival…

Thank you a million times. Priceless knowledge and information. Thank you for everything in this video.

Outstanding content. Down and dirty and to the point. For the knowledge that you impart, thank you doesn't seem like enough. But, I have said it before, thank you for your time and effort in bringing us this knowledge.

Awesome video Andrew.. very clever and ingenious survival and bushcraft skills. Keep up the great work!

Awesome video Andrew. I wore my uncles POW bracelet for 25 yrs

Ευχάριστο πόλη για τις υπέροχες κατασκευές σου μπράβο σου

Excellent! I use the bow saw quite a lot. I think it might be best to remove the saw blade when not in use as the sapling memory reduces the tention over time and weakens the saw

Lots of useful stuff. Thanks. It takes me back when I was a boy scout.

Well done. I love it and learned from it.

Thank you for an advice about the stick which is changing a distance of the pot over the fire.

Andrew, Another informative video !! Great additional information to the basics video... Thank you !!
