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.
Second video of yours I’ve watched today, excellent, this is rapidly becoming one of my favorite channels! Awesome content mate, good on you! P.S. love the mention to the Swiss Army Knife, I’m a huge fan of them! Thanks!!!!
To keep nails from splitting the ends of boards or limbs, stand the nail on a rock and tap the end of the point OF THE nail. till it is not sharp Then pound it in and the limb or board will not split the wood. TRY IT
Brilliant video! I'm a keen amateur survivalist (love learning about it, hardly ever get the chance to practice) and by the time I get to practice what I've learned I'll likely forget it. Your video though has the right balance for me of concise visual and verbal explanation which means I'm more likely to remember it without having the chance to practice straight away. The pack frame, chair, cooking tripod and fire kit were especially "lightbulb" moments for me!
Out of interest, is there an optimum amount of cordage you make sure you have for as many occasions and uses that might crop up? I'm thinking mainly an amount if "surprise camping" is required like lost in the woods because a certain other half didn't remember the hiking route properly and need to survive the night? ((Honestly, it was just lucky I over prepared extra layers and some food in my pack for everyone, and we emerged the next morning looking like we'd been lost for weeks we were so wet and dirty)) 😀
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.
It's crazy how people still don't carry a knife and lighter now days when they leave the house I try to be prepared before I go in the woods by myself or with my family . There are alot of dangerous animals walking around in the wood where I'm from there have even been big cat sitings like moutain cats be careful out there
Hi, I'm wondering, when you say Chaga, is that the mushroom? I have used a dried mushroom for fire in the past, I just didn't know its name and don't want to assume I know. Thank you
I don’t understand making the tent stakes. You need what.. 4-6? And they take up 0 space and weigh a few ounces.. 🤷♂️. Other than a personal opinion lol all great ideas very well shown and explained. Definitely worth a sub and like!
There was a lot of jargon in here for a beginner video. Please consider explaining more simply in the future, talking more slowly, or defining words while you are using them.
watching a master in his art… thanks!! do you have something even more beginner on the basics like knots and stuff? I'm following but would be impossible to replicate 😀 because of my skills only, your explanations are perfect!! subbed
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
trying to teach survival skills to a group of 12 year olds.. Why did you have to say dick stick 80 times? lol
Great video. Thank you!

What happens if you don't have any cordage at all… Do u use vines and roots from ground? Or from tree branches ect?
Thanks

What is the kephart style fixed blade you are using in this video? Thanks in advance
Rope dude rope.

What is that pack you are using? Please
I learned a few things. Thanks! Subscribed.
What kind of bag is that
Great job Ranger. Man the bow-drill brings back memories. RLTW!

which swiss army knife is that?
👍
The field…in the field……in the field…..the field. Dude great information but skip the field word so much.

Thanks for sharing 👍
Not gonna lie dig stick sounds like some kind of slur
You could have just cut a branch of at the joint an left a little peg to hang your bag on. Are you a survival expert or a tik toker
Feel like you’d be a great voice actor for shows or video games.

Beginner ? WOW ! Takes a lot of money at that level!
one of the best survival educational video I have seen these days.

THANKS I AM SMARTER ALMOST
Im so jealous lol
What size of tarp is good to have? Like the one you are using
At 12:00 i like the shelter you can even hang a pot from the bi pod and have the fire under
Is it possible to start a fire with nothing? No knife,nothing. And in the winter too?
Always a great class basic or advanced! Thanks Andrew. Bravo.
Tip # 1 : your chance of survival goes up the more you say cordage
Lots of useful stuff. Thanks. It takes me back when I was a boy scout.
what kind of wood are you looking for ,when you make your bow drill set.
Lots of cordage!

Do you have any recommendations for a pack?
fun fact. chaga can be brewed as a tea for immune system support. its actually quite expensive when bought.
Excellent tutorial and greatly appreciated!
