Great video. I am 76 years old and permanently disabled so I can't get out in the woods anymore. I appreciate your videos so I can tag along and learn from you!
Also check out joe robinet. He got awwweeesome outdoor videos as well. Nice trips where you can dream away :)
@@FishatDT Yeah until he claimed that Corporals Corner stole valor. So there’s that.
@@The_Hartofect_ might be. But I think Stephen and I are here to watch videos and relax, not to hate. I dont care what other people talk about each other, they are old enough to talk it out themselves. Nowadays everybody is so busy with others sh*t (excuse my language).
@@FishatDT I agree with you, wasn’t being that guy in the comments that feels the need to defend someone who is more than capable of doing that themselves. I don’t support anyone who doesn’t support our troops and a foreigner saying that someone whom didn’t serve their country stole valor. That’s what really upset me. Anyway you do you. Sorry for wasting everyone’s time. God bless you!
I don't want to be rude I support you doing so but what's the point
"Knowledge weighs nothing.'' Thank you sir 🤠👍
Like hell
The weight of Knowledge is in its proper application. With great power comes great responsibility.
Yet it outweighs everything.
knowlege to bring an axe instead of a saw weighs something . what a weird phrase
Andrew, I want you to know you literally changed my life. Your skills and knowledge, understanding of survival laws, positive attitude and amazing experience - I feel like a sponge, absorbing all of that. It made me feel like a part of the nature everytime I go outdoors to practice and have fun. Thank you Ranger!
thanks you
Does anyone know where you can get the leather pouch he has in this video?
Your vids just prove the old adage, YOU'RE NEVER TO OLD TO LEARN. Thanks for posting these valuable skills👍
Andrew, you and Shawn from Corporals are the two guys I've learned the most from. Always outstanding information on your site. Thanks.
The pump drill has got to be the most exotic of primative methods to start a fire. You could do a whole video just on that.

An excellent class Andrew! Your vids are always informative and enjoyable. I learn something new with each one. I appreciate the time you take to put it all together. Thank you sir. Bravo.
Becoming a top survivalist/prep channel.👍👍
Sir, excellent content as always. You’re content isn’t as frequent as some other KZheadrs, but that’s fine. It’s about quality, and you deliver that.
100%
Agreed ❤
Agreed, quality over quantity
I would say having a weekly video, and a full time job, is admirable frequency.
This nails it exactly. Survival is a mindset. Seeing what resources are available to you and how to use the resources. I remember watching the videos of the guy who lived in Alaska by himself (Dick Preneke, Alone in the Wilderness). Watching him build his cabin was mind blowing.
Finally!!!! Some lessor covered content! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! THANK YOU FOR COVERING MORE THAN BASIC SKILLS! ID LOVE MORE INTERMEDIATE AND EXPERT TIPS AS WELL! KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK!
The Council Tool Camp Carver is my favorite axe. Nice to see you putting one to good use! And great tips in this one, really good stuff.
Andrew, as a disabled vet, I appreciate your very instructional straightforward videos. I have learned much and will enjoy as long as you are posting. Thanks!
Great training vid Andrew, thanks for sharing - very cool to hear you are teaching and training classes. If you are ever giving a class in California, I’d love to attend 👍🏼
As always full of tips and skills. Thank You. Bringing a lot of stuff I've forgotten over the years.
Andrew, you are helping to change the world for the better. Bless you, sir.
Excellent Andrew! Clear and easy to understand, very practical, Thank you.
What I like most about your videos is your legitimate knowledge of what you're teaching/showing. I am not at your skill level but feel based on the knowledge that I do have and my ability to utilize what I do know that your videos add another layer to my skill set. I also really appreciate when you clearly explain that these are more advanced skills, but then just show how to do them. I learn by watching, not so much listening or reading. In example, the rope spinning segment didn't make sense to me UNTIL you showed how to build it and furthermore demonstrated it. Keep producing informational videos, they lend themselves greatly to a world that seems to be getting exponentially less capable. Be well, and Happy New Year!
This video was a CUT ABOVE the rest! Good Luck Andrew. Hope you have good success in your Hunting Trip! I really appreciate these advanced TIPS!
Your videos have helped improve my batoning skills immensely. My back yard is public land in arizona and i have had many hours practicing this stuff. My 4 year old daughter loves it too.
Good video!👍I'm curious as to what kind of small pukko knife that is that you are using, and who makes it?
Thank you sir for sharing your time and knowledge. As other commenters have said, survival is dependent on the calm belief that any challenge can be overcome. As a mechanic for 40 years I look at something not working as it's already broke, so the worst I can do is fix it and if I'm not careful might learn something along the way.
Andrew, my name is Brad I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now. I’ve learned so much from you. It’s help me save a life including my own i want to tell you thank you for all you do and helping people like me to survive in the wilderness when without you we wouldnt have a clue . Lol thank you my friend ..
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I’m sure with the busy schedule you have it isn’t easy to get out and dedicate time but we all appreciate your efforts. Thank you for a great video, looking forward to the next as always.
It’s about time a survival channel shows the pump drill. I never understood why the bow drill gets so much attention when it takes so much energy to operate. Energy is very important to conserve in a emergency situation.
Thank all you guys for your service , and thank you for keeping on sharing .
The pump fire drill looks like the best one of the bunch. Some others I could see refining a bit, like using a small rock as a set pin to help hold the blade for that improvised saw handle.
Sir your videos are a high level instruction! Glad to hear you are deer hunting. Sure lowered my anxiety level. 3 weeks rotator cuff post op. Feeling a little vulnerable if you know what I mean. Thanks for great info!
Curious as to how you are doing now, I had mine done a couple of weeks ago. I know it's a long recovery, but are you back in the woods yet?
Another great instructional video. Thank you, Major Andrew!
Shit. Didn't know he was a major🤷🏼♂️ usually it's grunts who do the hard work👍 then again, I've never been in the military. But I work like a grunt anyway💪🏴
Another great video. Quick question what knife do you use?
Was wondering the same thing
I am 76YO and not disabled, but still more of a watcher than a do-er. Thanks, brings back great memories!
Absolutely love this video! Excellent work, brother! 😊 Thank you for putting this together! I look forward to more from you 👍
Even if I know a lot of bushcraft-methods, you gave me some new tips and of course inspirations. And it's enjoyable to see a pro like you.
Impressive. Andrew, this video has to be one of your top 10 presentations. Interesting and different "twist" on the pump drill, we will surely test it out. Thank you for sharing your time and skills.
That "Cbar-Cattail" was so beautiful. It was like a dream.
I wasn’t aware of any of this information. Thank you Andrew for increasing my knowledge.
Thank you for taking the time to put videos together. I learn so much from them and practice what I learn. In turn I am able to share things with my family as we prepare for outdoor trips.
Wow I'm astounded at your teaching I subscribed and will continue to watch all your videos , in the hiking club in Junior high we learned a lot about desert survival and we hiked all over the place in Arizona our last hike was the Grand canyon however we had modern camp gear freeze dried food and little gas stoves my pack was 53lbs going in, that was 44 years ago but these skills you teach are like early American settlers and Indians used very very impressive. Thank you so much for making these videos.
any time i watch you vids i am truly inspired to get out and do it myself. thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
This is a fantastic video. I'm very grateful you took the time to make it.
It's nice to see someone that's not in a pine forest Making everything look so easy and perfectly straight. It takes so much more time working with hard woods Which are never straight and a lot of knots.
Unique skill presentation on its own way. Thank you very much, Sir!
I hope not to read a headline about how a badass, hard core, expert survival instructor dies from choking on Skittles.
Andrew, you are a madman! Keep the good info coming, much appreciated by the community!
we can't get enought of this top notch quality content! We appreciate the efforts you put into each of these productions, keep doing cool stuff
That was outstanding! Thanks for putting in the time!
Excellent video You're always doing the most with just the basic tools keep up the great work
These are cool and interesting skills to develop. Bring on the zombie apocalypse!
Hey Andrew, Went AWOL for a few months. Missed your videos, I'll be here to like and enjoy! Good to watch again!
Damn, your channel has really grown! 1.8M views and 160K subscribers?? I remember when you first started and only had a few hundred subscribers. Well done. Your succinct, no-nonsense, informative approach is very popular. So many people waffle on, spouting irrelevancies, repetition, or bs. You get straight to it [applause].
Love the video awesome and very educational as always my favorite in the video was the rope making and the saw👍🏼👍🏼
Major Andrew thank you for showing and teaching us once again very good bushcraft skills to know 👍🇺🇸
I wish I had known this info 50 years ago when I was on active duty. My time in the infantry would have been so much easier and I would have been able to share this knowledge with my troops back then. I had hoped that when I joined the Army that the Army would have taught me skills like these, but that did not happen. Apparently it was more important that I learned how to pick up cigarette butts and paint rocks and pretend to shoot by going bang, bang in the woods.
Outstanding video Andrew, as always.
Wow. That video was packed with great tips and crafts. Well prepared and executed presentation that was easy to understand and follow. Fantastic, thank you.
Thank You for teaching us how to make these Bushcraft Survival tools!
Great Video! Any chance on doing a product review of our Firestarter?
This one is actually one of my favorite ones that you have done so far!! Awesome video brother!!
Another home run Major! Your skills videos are always the best!
Excellent video, pretty cool making the rope and the advanced bow drill. Wish I could be in the woods hunting this year. Surgery in a few weeks preventing that one.
You never disappoint sir! I appreciate your willingness to teach for free the skills you have spent a lifetime learning 👏💪👊❤️🇺🇲
Excellent demonstrations . Have a great evening
As usual Andrew, Outstanding! Keep the vids coming. As an avid outdoorsman/self reliant "student", it's great to be able to check out your channel. Reminds of Sergeants Time every Thursday 😂. Very well put together with a detailed block of instructions. Your vids are also a personal tool in case I miss something while teaching my children about the outdoors. These skill sets are vital because technology can't and won't always save your life. Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you again for sharing your skills with us ,I'm still working out the simple bow drill I reside in the Pacific Northwest can you tell me what is the best wood t harvest for said bowdrill.
Learning something new every day
what's that water canteen you use with the cattails? looks like an old school u.s. army one but with a massive opening
you always in the top of the bushcraft videos, creating all good content.. thanks for you time and experience!! 👍🤘
Thanx Andrew,Your lesson's never disappoint,Cheers!!
You really pack a lot of techniques into a short time. Thanks❤
YOU'RE on a whole nother level, man! Good job!!
Once again you've smashed it Ranger god educational engaging and interesting great video Andrew keep em coming
Interesting take on the pump drill! Thanks for sharing
As an old fashioned senior NCO I expect and plan to see you at the next pathfinder gathering in 2023! Like and love the videos and don’t forget about the ranger creed let alone the NCO creed! Competence is my watchword my two basic responsibilities will always be utmost in my mind accomplish of my mission and the welfare of my soldiers!I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishment!👍👌
A couple of tricks I have not seen. Great video keep them coming👍
Always interesting. Informative, especially on use of available materials, and fixing it crafting new and useful from recyclable material is a must know how. There is no doubt those Ranger Guys can get through grizzly bear territory with a pocket knife and string.
What Bushcraft knife do you use for making these videos
Congratulations, Andrew. A really good video for its content and production. Some great ideas that I will keep in mind and I thank you. Really, a great video not to miss. 👍😉
Hello, Andrew, what knife are you using in this video? Is it a homemade? Thank you.
Thanks for the informative and detailed video!
Awesome as always! Thank you for another great video!
Great value, you speak very clear and respectable like a real professional servicemen. Great job! Great video!
Great video! Thanks!
Great video, please keep them coming!! Good luck with the hunt.
Great video! Roughly how much length of paracord did the small net take to make?
40’ was about the right length for a small 2x1’ Net
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft Awesome, thanks. Also, just an idea for another video, I tried looking and can’t find a video anywhere of someone doing a comparison on Kevlar cord verses Bank line and which is better for what. You can throw paracord in there as well and maybe some of your favorite uses for them. Seeing your take on making a raised platform shelter between a couple of close trees would be cool to watch as well. Best wishes from NC!
Major Andrew loved the video. The one gentleman said it best knowledge is weight less. These skill I had no idea of those skills thank you sir. Just my curiosity with hunting season in full swing would you be able to do a harvest and field dress video. Knowledge is everything and I will be next year hunting with my daughter for the first time. As always Major Andrew thank you for your service and your knowledge.
Outstanding
Awesome! Skills, techniques, and implementation.
Excellent video. Recommend for survivalists at all levels. Especially liked the M-1943 canteen cup that had a hole in its handle that could extend the handle by inserting bayonet into the top hole. Very old school.
Amazing video! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge
Top youtube channel for bushcraft and survival skills ! 🌲 Best wishes from Germany.
This guy is obviously the real deal. Subscribed.
Just discovered your channel and really enjoying these skills videos. Subscribed, all the best for 2023!
Thank you for your knowledge and time you spent showing those awesome skills. I fully appreciate you
Andrew , a Outstanding skills video!!! The charred cattail was very interesting as well as the mechanical assist bow drill!! The net making concept has been touched on many times, it seems to be a recurring skill that makes a lot of sense. Keep them video's rolling Andrew , and good hunting to you!!
Thank you, your videos bring back memories, most good and some not so good but we learn from our mistakes. I am old now and unable to enjoy the great outdoors as I once did, but nostalgia works it's magic thanks to your video's.
There is some great info in this video. Especially the rope making. That is one of those almost forgotten skills. The maul also is a very handy tool.
This approach was very efficient! Great job!! With usefull skills!
Love the video. I do have at least one question, I might post others later. But that saw handle you made, could you turn that into a like the top and bottom of a bow drill set? I know a shaft or spindle, I think that us what I heard it called, I and very new to this, anyway, but that could be a good way to carry parts if it right?
Another great video keep up the great work. Thanks for your service to our country.
Did you do a tear down review of the pack you now carry with the gill net?
