The only thing I can add to this vid is, your better off putting your snare at the top of the lean pole, because if you do snare a squirrel, in its attempts to get free, it could throw itself off of the log an hang. On the ground it can chew its way out of the snare, IMHO. Ground snare's work on rabbits good tho, thx for the vid

A couple things, 1: Cat tails, ok, A; fluff, fire starting, grind into flour, insulation. B; The leaves, far better fiber for snares and fishing than bark. C: First Aid, the slime between the cat tail leaves is an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic. D; Food, the shoot can be peeled and eaten, the tip in the spring can be roasted and eaten like corn, the root can be boiled and eaten like a potatoe. E; Gear and Shelter, the leaves are easily woven into mats, blankets, shelter covering, and baskets. The Cat Tail is one of the greatest survival finds you can locate.

Reminds me of the '80s era movie "Band of the Hand". A social worker took 5 juvenile miscreants into the Everglades to humble them and teach them to rely on themselves and each other for real survival. All he gave each of them was a knife and said a good knife will provide you with everything you need to survive. Who, outside the bushcraft community, knew back then that single concept was beyond fantasy? I will definitely have to remember about the charcoal. You are true to your word.

I am amazed at the several pieces of information/techniques that is new to me ! I’m an old man now. I fought fire, served in the military, went off grid for like eight years, studied survival both American military, the SAS, etc. and Tom Brown, and others and practiced, pretty much all my life. Back in my day there were very few age requirements to carry a gun to go hunting. I had a license at fourteen. My father taught me to shoot around the age of ten. This is an old post so possibly will never be seen, but just in case you pop in, I just want to say thanks. I love the bow drill set up ! I’ve only used skinny sticks, and the way you match the stick to the block ! I can only imagine how much easier, and direct as that. I’ve only seen kind of a dished out block, and sometimes can be difficult to keep in place. It seems common sense, but I don’t always claim an abundance there. Mainly it is all nuances of things I already knew, but I believe your way is better. I do feel the need to comment that if you are going to attempt trapping your food, you really need to put out a bunch of them. Same with fishing. If you are stuck in the wilderness for some reason, create many fishing poles to increase your chances. Thanks again !

Nice warrior video as always. I watched this as soon as I got a few minutes to devote my attention to it. This video was a rare gem to me. It being that there is entirely too few knife only survival or even just bushcraft videos on here so it was a break from the average content I normally view in this general field. Aside from all that though I feel that these specific videos are probably the most important all around survival and "knife only" bushcraft content available here. Primarily because I think the knife is hands down the most important and useful item one could hope for. I have loads of top of the line equipment that I love to use at every opportunity but even my edc get home bag stays in my truck and would be useless if I had to depend on my immediate possessions on me. One of those always being a dependable blade. Thanks for your efforts and desire to teach others what you have learned while defending the greatest nation on earth.

You can also use the sheath to make a water filter.

Love your channel Sir, your teaching style is easily understandable and all you teach has " The ring of truth to it."

I watched Corporals Corner this morning (31 Oct 2021) he mentioned your you tube channel, I looked you up to discover I had already subscribed. So with that your latest show happened to sinc with Seans latest show hand in glove. I am working on his pocket survival kit already and your show has brought back much "old training" Great job! Keep up the good work, thank you. CB Spady

Can you get a spark with a piece of flint or hard rock and a carbon steel knife?
@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft2 жыл бұрын
Yes, Chert or Quartz works as well as flint, but true flint is only found in the Europe.

The top 4 minerals on Mohs' Scale of Hardness are quartz, topaz, corundum and diamond but any stone or other substance that is harder than your hardened carbon steel will work to get a spark.

Chert forms as nodules in limestone. Flint forms in chalk or marl.

Happy to support a veteran and learn skills from you. So far I have found more depth in what you have to teach and share.

The Corporal recommended your channel. I like your direct approach, survival must be direct.

Can you please point me to the video (or part of a video) where you made that paracord wrapped knife sheath? I have seen all of your videos, but can’t remember where you covered it.
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft Thanks, That’s also the video where you solved my problem of using the green reusable space blanket for signaling when reversed, vs. the orange which is no go for stealth purposes. Thanks again!
