Best burn treatment I ever had was Silvadene. Deep 2nd to third degree burns (well learned lesson in static charge in chemistry). Burns always seem to radiate heat after cooling down. So soothing the burn helps. If anyone has the ability to add this to your more advanced first aid kit then get it. It's worth it's weight. Which is only a few grams. Believe me it is better than any pill.
100% Agree!! Had to use Silvadene on a REALLY BAD sunburn one time and it took away the burn and healed up FAST!! I would never use Vaseline on a burn. My mom did that many years ago to self-treat a 2nd degree burn on her arm and ended up turning it into a 3rd degree burn because the vaseline caused the burn to cook even more. She ended up needing skin grafts on her arm.
This is one of the best channels. Andrew gives facts and skills in a professional and gentlemanly manner. Not trying to sell everything. Not trying to be a showman. Not a fake . No bravado. A favorite you can depend on.
Just some additional info on those Vaseline packets with gauze. Purpose made “chest seals” designed to occlude air flow into or out of a chest wound (to prevent or treat a sucking chest wound or tension pneumothorax or having air or blood pool in the chest preventing expansion of the lungs). Those purpose made chest seals like a HALO seal are great. But they are expensive and higher volume and higher cost. Those Vaseline packs can serve the same function and you can buy a hundred of them at a time for relatively cheap (compared with a HALO). In addition to the fire starting or just using the Vaseline for chapped lips or cracking skin. However if you do use them as “chest seals” many many people are confused about how to use them. They will attempt to actually take the gauze out and use that as an occlusive dressing. This is wrong. You can just throw the gauze away if you’re using it as a chest seal. You want that tin foil packaging (coated with the Vaseline). The gauze serves no purpose. You would apply the gauze smeared tin foil (two sides entry and exit (if applicable)) and tape on three sides with the open side facing “down” so fluids can drain but a “one way” valve is formed allowing air to only go “out” of the body. The gauze is tossed and not needed. Hope this info might help someone in the future. Semper Fi
Always something new to learn… I like your “old school “ techniques and supplies.. they may be “old school “ to some, but, many times , they’re totally new for me… … I like that you change up your videos… some in the field- some in your garage? … I save them to a playlist I’ve created… God bless… always crazy things happening around America… May God put a hedge of protection around you and each person reading this post… 🙏🏻
Have paper and pencil so you can “think about your life choices,” slipped in for a quick chuckle as we tour a solid survival kit, well done! Another terrifically concise vid. Thanks!
Rite in the Rain also make a “stow away pen”. Or at least they used to. Check it out. It’s one of the single “smallest” pens I have ever seen. The only “ink stick” solution I have ever seen smaller than the stow away pen is just using a Fisher ink refill cartridge on its own without the pen body. In very very tiny kits… this is the thing to use. Just the fisher pressurized ink cartridge refills without the actual pen body. The “stow away” is next in line though. That pen that you have is also Rite in the rain but you can fit three “stow away” pens in that same volume. Another “micro” solution for a “writing implement” is going to be a heavy piece of lead. Some electric pencils use a tiny 0.7mm piece of led but you can get those lead refills in larger diameters. You then take “shrink tubing” used to form around electrical connections and heat it up with a lighter around the piece of lead. When needing to be sharpened you can use a knife and just wittle it as necessary for a point. The heat shrink tubing is the “wood” of the pencil and if the lead should happen to snap… the tubing keeps the whole thing together. It’s very fragile… but you can’t get a “writing implement” in a smaller dimension or weight. If you do have another solution I’d love to hear it. You can make these improvised pencils of only a few inches long and they can fit in an alto ids tin or very very tiny kits. Like an E&E capsule that you would use the ol “prison wallet” to conceal internally inside your body. The CIA has used this technique to “hide” whole tool kits. But you could put a littler ferro rod.cash, fishing kit. Piece of tinder, sewing needles… just things that might give you more tools that if you become a POW… you can use the restroom and “remove” your E&E kit. Without “digital insertion” or a metal detector… it’s very hard to find this kit even when stripped naked. You might tape a packet of AAA ointment to the capsule to aid in “hiding” if ever needed in extremis. Like before capture.
I used to teach wilderness survival way back in the 80's, and I was taught by a Marine, don't judge me, he was good. I'd swap out that plastic water flask for a metal one. I have the old Sigg 16 ounce water flask. Although I'd still go with the military canteen, with canteen cup and lid. The cotton soaked in Vaseline, is a great idea. I've been making fire lighters out of cotton balls and Vaseline for years. Now I will have to try that bandage option, so two uses. That Machete, is very nice looking, but I just bought a Seax/Sax knife to add to my Viking reenacting kit. So maybe next month. Keep up the good work.
"Think about your life choices" had me rolling! Andrew, putting in those little funny things makes me remember your teachings just that much more! Thanks!!! ❤
Absolutely the top of the line survival and bushcrafts Instructors for civilians and military service worldwide. God Bless you and your leaderships and skills. Thank you very much, Sir!
One thing you could add. I pack of dental floss. A small light box of 100 yards of floss is very handy, has good strength, doesn't take up a lot of space. And you can floss while you're in the field.
the dragon fuel gel featured at 7:30, is also caleld fire snot, its also a hand sanitizer gel and is non toxic, that and the smell is why its replaced hexamine...
3:15 I use that cordage to make a jam knot and bowline the long end. It's almost the same action with a single line of cordage. Cheers Andrew I really appreciate the knowledge you are passing on to the citizenry!
As soon as you start up survival courses to attend, I'm on the next plane . You get a lot of useful information across in a short time. Thanks for the info and thank you for your service!
I don't know how far I have carried my excellent medium ALCE (with frame)., but the kidney pad is wearing out I don't know exactly why a large ALCE with frame gave me a herniated lumbar disk years ago, other than that the load may have been over a hundred pounds. I just want to give people a heads up about carrying a load that is heavy enough to warn you that you ought to drop off some of the stuff and return for it later.
I like the "dancing hands" when Andrew reviews small gear such as IFAK, pocket essay tablets, fuel packages, hand tool size comparisons, it just works because it's close up and readable. But I do miss seeing Andrew in action demonstrations the past few months.
I have been out of the ARMY for almost 30 years, and I still have 2 of those 16 oz flasks. we were issued them to keep in our M81 but pack we hung on the back of our pistol belts. I used to have a dozen of those straps in my kits, but over the years ( and likely a lot in the house fire) they have all disappeared. I used the hell out of those.
The water purification tablets for 16 ounces are especially handy to carry because of the great abundance of ordinary used one-pint clear plastic water bottles. In Arizona free-flowing streams are rare, but you may be able to find and follow an aqueduct for many miles without having to carry more than one small flask or bottle.
Thanks Andrew for your videos “I’ll be thinking about my life choices out there!😂😆” have a good day y’all and Andrew and as always, Rangers lead the way!
The Sawyer Mini water filter fits perfectly on the 1 pint pilots flask/canteen. I have several. And though they're hard to find, there is an aluminum canteen cup for the flask. Spanish army surplus.
As a frequent AT hiker, from Springer I noticed your awesome watch. Can you feature it in a video? Or include a link for the maker? Never have I studied survival. The AT in the back yard. We had outhouses, sears catalogs, only a wood burning stove. Each cousin was required to learn music first (piano, banjo). Skills just came out of necessity. The women folk were taught to hunt while the men were expected to earn a bit of coin. Kids helped by creating things to trade. 22 in gen 3, 38 gen 4, 56 gen 5. We have 2 mottos. When the law fails, cult members tell, will y'all be going to heaven or hell. YT prevents me from sharing 2. I'm 51, we've had Vietnamese, Korean, African American, white.
YOU HAVE A REAL TALENT FOR TEACHING. Sorry caps lock. Excellent video. Something I have done in the past. I keep a single coffee filter and rubber band wrapped around my water purification tabs. You can use the band and filter to “cover” the spout of a canteen or flask. It’s like a mill bank bag to just filter out the biggest “bugs” or pond scum before chemical sterilization. Takes slightly longer to fill but it’s very light weigh and low volume and cheap and readily available.
I was looking for an enhancement for my automotive kit. In an urban and highway area Your vehicle is your home. There will be times people will need to walk away from the vehicle and having a portable kit makes a lot of sense especially since most people are not athletically fit.
with that camo wrap you can make improvised fishing weights. Add amount of desired weight in rocks or sand and pebbles inside, tie up and then attatch to fishing line.
Always straight to the point and very useful! Thankyou for your teaching skill and presentation. Keep up the great videos. I am always looking for the next one!
Andrew, you finally took my advice on the type 4 para- cord ! All the write in the rain items are the best! A whole of other things you read my mind on. The small stoves look excellent. The fishing light sticks for night lights and night compass work. Didn't know they made the coban dressings im cammo ,sweet. Thanks again for all your ideas. Take care.
Agreed. Cardboard draws moisture, not good in the tropical environment where I have retired. Plastic pipe, a source of heat and a few rivets does the trick for me.
@@NewHampshireJack I also use thermoplastics to make sheaths. Even made a video of it ! 🫡 Cardboard is a quick and dirty fix that'll work... for a time.
I have that exact machete. A real OKC one. I just took a ‘90s era machete sheath, and cut it short. Fit down behind the center pouch of my Alice pack, and disappears when you cinch down the top flap.
@@mrkultra1655 hey, is that plastic shesth you cut fown somewhat flexible by any chance ? *Slightly* flexible machete sheath are the best, as the longer they are, the more chance they'll pry on something, with that much more torque behind it. Spooky username 😅
1:09 Also makes a decent backup canteen. And a decent personal carry on person canteen, If you aren't hauling the hiking bag and belt everywhere. If your canteen is ever off your person. I would love having this 16 Oz flask as an emergency.
You never fail to amaze me and get me thinking laterally. Putting a small writing kit in with the IFK, means it is always on you, plus add a couple of extra burn dressings and you can start a fire. Throw in a button compass and your pretty well covered if you find yourself geographically embarrassed.
Just a random thought but vinegar sure helps mosquito bite pain. If you're outside, you're going to need it. Also I forget the name of the stuff but there is a chemical solution that keeps ticks and other insects away that you can mix up yourself and spray on clothing.
I really like this kit! I’m gonna try to find me those straps. I have two of those canteens. This will work good with my military waist pack. Thanks Andrew! Really enjoyed this video
Andrew your a great resource, thank you. Could you do a series on what gear, skills, you would use if faced with survival for the rest of your life and if you could ..where you would like to be to survive ie Spain, Canada, etc. Thanks
After watching the last two videos and loads of others I think I would like to see the same videos in the field using the gear and showing how this gear works in real life. Where can i buy those cool old school straps for example? What video had the fishing trapping kit. Still love what your doing. Thank you for taking the time. Ray.
Always "think about your Life choices"- honestly probably my favorite bit in this video... As to the shears, I have become a fan of the Leatherman Raptor. Although, I prefer the Original version before they came out with two versions. I carry those in my primary FAKs because of their durability, versatility, and adaptability. Not unlike my kits...
I'm surprised you didn't suggest the Pathfinder M34 instead. WAY more practical. Especially when combined with the titanium Grayl UltraPress, military cravat, and a silcock key.
I've got the M34 and the Swedish surplus model, totally worth the investment. I think the plastic flask is more appropriate for a kit that may be needed in a non-permissive environment or if a fire cannot be made for whatever reason. But totally agree the M34 is bomber!
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft I suppose that depends on the conditions expected in said non-permissive environment. While I know from experience that fire is a luxury and NOT a necessity in non-permissive environment survival (something most survivalists don't consider), I would not want to neglect giving myself that option if I didn't have to. That being said, I've found that combined with the titanium Grayl UltraPress, military cravat (for added sediment filtration), and a silcock key, you have a system that is not only fire capable, but heavily advantageous with filtration and capacity to carry.
I have always been womdering if there is a video where someone can show how to survive in the wild if you have food allergies. I have quite a few such as seafood and lactose intolerance and GERD. Can you make a video about that?
Always great content! But I'll echo some comments already made...I like your older videos with you talking and doing stuff, but it's your channel, do what you want how you want and I'll watch, you still make among the very best videos on these topics.
It isn't typical that I add things to my bag list. Milsurp tie downs, camo ace bandages (I had regular ones), and the vaseline petroleum gauze strips for FAK. Nice job, Thumbs up and a sub for you buddy.
I like that strap. No like the rubberband. Why did they make the ace wrap round, like toilet paper? It should be oval, or flat. I like that it's camo. Penny shears actually can cut a penny. So cool. Pencil is more reliable than a pen. I don't get it. Great vid. ty

Bonus use for the petroleum gauze: the packaging + some duct tape on 3 sides or across the corners only makes a pair of good improvised chest seals.

That being said, I've found that
combined with the titanium Grayl UltraPress, military cravat (for added sediment filtration), and a silcock key, you have a system that is not only fire capable, but heavily advantageous with filtration and capacity to carry.
The M34 and the Grayl combined make for a carrying capacity of at least 32oz of water instead of just 16oz, which can disappear quick.
The levy is about to break Andrew, be ready and stay vigilant.
Do you know as well as i do something big is about to go down.
Godspeed.
Another great video. Thanks
Excellent video thank you. Have a great day.🇺🇸🤘🏻☘️⚡️⚡️
Great ideas for a small kit!!!
I have always been womdering if there is a video where someone can show how to survive in the wild if you have food allergies. I have quite a few such as seafood and lactose intolerance and GERD. Can you make a video about that?
Good stuff!
G'Day Adrew thanks for hia post mate stay safe.
Good Job
Another direct to the point valuable video 👍
Always great content! But I'll echo some comments already made...I like your older videos with you talking and doing stuff, but it's your channel, do what you want how you want and I'll watch, you still make among the very best videos on these topics.
Salve guerreiro! Muito bom amigo. Bons equipamentos, parabéns pelo vídeo
I have one of those motang knifes, a little older but mines the length of a machete
All the folk that I know never put water in that pilots flask.
Usually it is Myers or OVD black rum !
Good video Andrew, thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !
7:58
Great advice. Thx
Great video 📹 Andrew!!! Love the videos. Keep up the great work 👌
ranges lead the way thanks for the informative video
Great stuff
outstanding video once again, Andrew
Really good idea
Another great video.😊
It isn't typical that I add things to my bag list. Milsurp tie downs, camo ace bandages (I had regular ones), and the vaseline petroleum gauze strips for FAK. Nice job, Thumbs up and a sub for you buddy.
10 chapters would be great
Fun size video!
Great video, as always useful & entertaining.
I like that strap. No like the rubberband. Why did they make the ace wrap round, like toilet paper? It should be oval, or flat. I like that it's camo. Penny shears actually can cut a penny. So cool.
Pencil is more reliable than a pen. I don't get it.
Great vid. ty
I love your Videos
Very nice sir!
what kind of pencil was that small size ?
