I have read elsewhere that you should use a sock, if you have one, to contain the condom and water for survival. However, please don't try the sock in the bedroom.
I would like to add a couple of observations. As a fighter pilot I was trained on our excellent survival kits for survival worldwide. The unlubricated condom canteen is very vulnerable, as you discovered. Many a teenaged couple became parents from the unexpected failure of this item. We were taught to place it inside a helmet for transport and protection, a ball cap, a cut off sleeve, sock, trouser leg, or even a t-shirt could be protection and carrier. I know you werre surprised your first match failed to give you fire! tinder prep is the really big deal, as you know. Even a lifeboat match may not save you! Not dogging you. I really enjoy your videos. Great job. I would replace the single edged razors with a couple of box cutter blades (Stanley), stronger and can be resharpened, Your shelter has many holes in it, it would leak, I would use a four mil five x eight clear sheet to be a roof for your shelter, It is strong and will keep you dry. I have used tape to anchor 550 cord for tie downs or a few marbles for anchor points. It can also be used in a solar still, much debate still rages over the energy expended vs the water produced. You can decide. Transpiration bags might be a better source of water procurement. Keep up the great work, congratulations on you promotion. Rangers Lead the Way. Would love to meet you for coffee sometime. I live in Central Oregon now.
*Rule One:* Never walk away from your house without either wearing or carrying clothes that will enable survival during whatever weather conditions will exist, day and night, during the next 3 days. *Rule Two:* Always carry in your pockets all of Canterbury's 5Cs and as many of the second 5Cs as will fit.
I agree to carry gear, but Dave Canterbury only coined the 5 and 10 C's actually nessmuck ,Sears,Kempart talked about every day carry gear to see you through . Reading and then giving something your own name for remembering it isn't yours embellished just like his military career, and his sling bow taken from Ron Hoods video I believe Ron called it a Dell bow in his video .
Just an option to possibly modify your kit. Years ago I replaced condoms with oven cooking bags. Thry are more durable, you can heat/pasteurise water in them, and they come folded into small sizes.
I thank you for showing how to survive with an Altoids so many people build them but they do not show how to use them out there in the field keep doing videos you are good
I appreciate you showing that things don't always go as planned. Also a survival tin needs to be maintained to keep equipment "fresh" and up to date You make a great video, thanks
Absolutely right! As Mike Hendricks stated in a previous comment, it's recommended you place the condom inside a sock (if you have one) to protect the latex & give it more support.
A sock works well to carry your filled condom. It serves as an all around support and although it can still blow out, it PROTECTS the thin membrane from some physical damage and makes it an up-armored improvised canteen. TWO sealed (and PLAIN - non-treated condoms) are always a good bet, and the additional condom occupies very little extra space in the Altoids can.
Buy an aquapouch from survival resources( better yet 2) and fold it up on the outside of your kit under a couple ranger bands. Include some purification tabs.They are much more durable and reusable, You will thank me later. Ps, On my channel I have an example of how I keep mine.
I was about to make that comment about the socks technic 😜 and @Thinkingsurvival, yes aquapouch are indeed practical, I own 2 and would use them in first order yet they take more places then an altoid box can take. and most people might even have water bottle if hocking. here it all about making the best from the minimum!
@@Rey5kon , I just figured as opposed to breaking the condom as was done in the video ...and possibly your only water container in a real emergency,(not just during a bushcraft practice outing) an aquapouch folded on the outside of the kit under a few rangerbands would always be a more reliable annd reusable choice. Socks do make condoms marginally more sturdy, but it is still a fragile condom at the end of the day and it isn't intended to be used as a reliable or reusable water container. I sure don't ever want my life dependendent on one. That's why I had reccommended the aquapouch...for people who actually may someday have to rely on a tin like this and want the best tool available for the job instead of trying to make do with something inferior, I was suggesting a tougher tool option in case someone needs the kit someday for real. Anyway, Have a good day and enjoy your time outdoors.
Another great video, the SAS survival manual suggests using a sock to protect your water condom. Also I appreciated the fact you didn’t get your fire going with the first match a lesser man would have edited that out. Cheers
I'm thrilled to see someone actually go out and spend the night using the minimal kit. haven't seen another video out there like this one. Keep up the great work, and Thank You.
I've been having a really crappy week so far. The look you gave the camera when you lost your water was priceless. Thanks for the cheering up. Keep up the great work 👍.
Thanks Andrew for another great video. I appreciate you showing your fails as well as your successful outcomes. Too many channels edit out their fails to always make things appear easy. For those who actually do, we know Murphy is alive and well in the bush. Fires are not always easy to start, gear fails, and sometimes Mother Nature has a way of spoiling our best made plans. That’s just life, and learning to adapt and overcome obstacles is what makes us a better woodsman. Again, thanks for sharing, Rangers lead the way once again!
and there are so many people on here and in the world that say you cant survive with a kit like this, I used to go out camping on the Delaware river with just a canteen and a fixed blade knife.. so THANK YOU for showing people that this CAN be done,,, it just takes a little skill which people should have anyway.
Was so over the moon that you actually used your kit. Way to many videos on how to build and where to buy gear. Not enough testing your kits metal. Rangers lead the way and get it done ! Thank You
I've been binging on your video all week there are few better in explanation , perspective and presentation than you good soldier great teacher 👍🏿 carry-on
Wow! Finally. That was amazing. You got down and dirty and actually used the kit you built. Well done. Your videos are just getting better and better. Thank you!
Excellent video! I replaced the condom with small plastic bags you can find now theses days in every supermarket in the fruit/vegetable section on a roll. They can be folded very small and are watertight and they are free. If you have to carry them use the long sleeves of your jacket or sweater. Close the long sleeves at the wrist end with a knot or piece of cordage then put the plastic bag with the water in the sleeve that way they hold much longer when you have to move. My Altoid tin is now part of a Molle pouch it is still small but holds now some other items like emergency blankets etc. and a fixed blade knife/multitool.
Great vid! In past tried the condom method. Must of had over 2 qts of water. Transfer back to camp it broke. No water and clothes were wet. Not good. Try the plastic produce bags (cut down), they work better. Use condom for the wild mtn women. Just a joke.
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft Sir, to quote Mr han from the movie enter the dragon.. "your skills are.. extra ordinary" ...... What I see as an extreme survival scenario, you turn into a camping trip. I WILL IMPROVE AND LEARN. Thanks for all your hard work, honour and integrity. From England.
Always try to buy the best gear I possibly can afford I have bought a lot of my gear from self-reliance Outfitters they stand behind their products and they sell great gear
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft would one of those Swirl-pac water containers be a better choice than a condom? I'm not asking because I think I know better than you, I'm just wonderin'? Thanks for your videos!
Always like watching your videos. I love the fact that you show when you have failures whether it’s equipment or otherwise. Bushcraft isn’t perfect. Thank you for sharing that with everyone.
Greetings from Greece🇬🇷! Very instructional content! I remember I was taught to put the condom inside a sock to prevent situations like the one you showed!
Great video, thanks. Three days in the Pilbara on advanced course with Bob Cooper's kit (pocket sized but bigger than Altoid tin, also issued to Aussie SAS). "Don't let the first time you use the kit be a survival situation." Also teaches how NOT to find yourself in a survival situation to begin with.
Don't know how many videos I watched where people say, "Oh you could boil water in this Altoids tin" while talking about it in their living room or den and I think to myself, "yeah easier said than done. Well now I saw someone actually do it. Thanks so much for actually demonstrating how to use a mini survival kit.
I despise people who think these mini kits are just gimmick. They are not optimal, but they are no more a gimmick than a SAK or Leatherman (or .22 pocket pistol). I prefer a whirl pack bag or an oven bag for two reasons- they are stronger than the condom, and I'm allergic to latex. I'd itch from one end of my GI tract to the other with condom water.
@@treerat6959 That's a bit bigger than a deck of playing cards, the goal for a pocket tin, so you've utterly missed the point of the exercise. I carry a stainless bottle, plus a small pot and a cup, along with a second polymer bottle (like to be able to see the water when using chemical treatment), but that is part of the pack I might leave at camp or lose if I go in the river. My tin kit is in a buttoned shirt pocket under any thermal layers because while you might lose your pants in the river you rarely lose your shirt, and buried like that it is much less likely to go wandering. Now, if you mean like a whiskey flask, I've tried that- not enough water to be useful and I've yet to find one at a non-ludicris price point that could take the heat. Bought several, all failed on the first attempt.
@@tenchraven The flask I have is about the size of a pilots flask so yes like a whiskey flask. I don't know the make of this one the wife ordered it some years ago and yes I boil in it but it's not for climates with not a lot of water sources
@@tenchraven no I get the whole mini kit idea just mine is spread out on my body and with my 511 vest I have two water bottle pouches and many pockets.
Nice video. Good to see you putting this kit to work. So many couch survivalists don’t walk the talk. As Lars from #SurvivalRussia says survival starts at home. Build a good kit and keep it on you at all times.
Agreed. Finally good to see someone actually use the Altoid tin. Not just stuff it. Great that you showed the failed moments as well. You made it real. Loving your channel.🇹🇹
if that happened to me one thing that I would do for a container that i did in one of my vids is, take a piece of wood and place some coals on it and burn yourself a bowl or cup and then take some stones that have been in the fire for a while and but them in the bowl with some water to boil that water and there you go you got water again, and you have a good container. cheers man great work
The smallest I'll let my pocket kit go is a Maxpedition Micro pocket organizer. It fits in the front pocket of jeans, even a T-shirt pocket, and you can get two Altoids tins in there. An Aquapouch or a quart ziplock bag will fit in there too. For a two pocket kit I have a SOL 60x96 emergency blanket with two smaller mylar blankets and 25 feet of #36 bank line stuffed in the pouch the SOL blanket came in. My jeans pocket is bigger than an Altoids tin so I might as well use the extra space to carry a slightly larger kit.
I'm putting together an Altoids tin kit for my son for Christmas and this (paired w your video explaining the kit) has got to be one of the best UA-cam videos I've found on the subject. Im going to try for a 1 liter whirl pak bag in his kit. Hopefully it will fit! Thanks for the time you put into your videos and for sharing your knowledge. 🌲
Thank you for your service and for teaching those of us in the world that feel this information you share is so important to know and put into use. So i thank you Sir for a job well done. Please continue to share your knowledge of being able to survive in dire times.
Hey man, thanks for showing that even with a dry match there is no guarantee of fire. You showed to not give up after failing and it wasn't a bullshit first try and got it. Anyways thanks. Great video
Love to see these kits in use. Great job. I've moved away from condoms in favor of produce bags from the grocery store. They seem to be a little more durable as long as they aren't over-filled.
You did a nice job of bridging the gap between throwing a survival kit in your pack, and actually using it. It’s just like a first aid kit; you need to know how to use the contents! You can’t just throw the kit in your pack and think, “ok, check that off the list”.
Hello my Outdoors friend, sincere thanks for sharing your survival video. You shared some vital information about surviving in the Outdoors. I've been enjoying all of your videos. The very best to you. Stay healthy out there. 🤗
That was brilliant. As someone who flys a lot for work I would love to see a o/n survival kit that could be kept in carry on. I always feel so naked when all cutting tools and cordage removed from the equation.
For cordage, you can replace your laces, particularly if you wear boots, with 550 or even a specialized 550 such as survivor cord. The survivor cord will give you jute, 25lb test fishing line, 7 strands and a sheath to work with in each length of lace. It has snare wire in it too but you might need to strip that out for flight. Runs about $30 for 100' hank from titan survival.
RTLW!!! Great video Andrew! Train the way you fight applies in survival as well, great applications with an Altoid Tin Kit. And, I must say great integrity showing the second match use and condom destruction, many might have edited it out, but this is real life, and sometimes... sh*t happens. Keep up the Fire!
Good job Andrew! Never underestimate the value of gloves, if your hands get injured - survival is even harder!! Reinforcing the condom with tape will make it more durable.
hahaha I'm not the only one who sounds like the chipmunks in their videos. I love the content in your Altoids tin survival kit, especially the hack saw blade, I never thought of that. Great video brother I'm an avid bushman and practice my skills, and when I'm not out there myself I like to check out fellow youtuber's content and you're one of the first ones on my list. keep up the great work. Cheers
People grossly underestimate the importance of self care and first aid in a survival situation... I'm glad you took a moment to address this
Finally, someone to actually show us how to use these kits in a real world scenario. Leave it to a Ranger to lead the way!
yes!
I appreciate that you don’t just make “look at my gear” videos. You are out there getting it done, outstanding.
Excellent.......love the look in your face when the Johnny burst, we’ve all been there in one way or another, some are still suffering 😉🤣👍🏻

You can also use a water filled condom to concentrate sunlight to start a fire, much like a magnifying glass.
A tip I was shown when working with a condom for water, is to place the condom in a sock. This gives the condom a lot of support.
They have come up with some innovative replacements to replace the condom as a storage vessel for water. Time for folks to make the swap outs.
Thats actually a damn good idea, Mr. Mitch

That's why your the best, you show us civilians how to use the stuff !!! Awesome !!!
the man in action as usual! thanks andrew!!! keep it up. learning every video
This is definitely my favorite survival channel to watch
Hands down, BEST wilderness survival channel on the internet. 🥾
Thank you Andrew. Keep up the terrific videos dude. We appreciate you!
Good stuff. I enjoy these types of your vids. Actually using the stuff you pack. Thumbs up.
Another great one Andrew 👍
Thank you Andrew, love your videos & the fabulous mountain views (I miss them..)👍🙈👍
You did a nice job of bridging the gap between throwing a survival kit in your pack, and actually using it. It’s just like a first aid kit; you need to know how to use the contents! You can’t just throw the kit in your pack and think, “ok, check that off the list”.
Hello my Outdoors friend, sincere thanks for sharing your survival video. You shared some vital information about surviving in the Outdoors. I've been enjoying all of your videos. The very best to you. Stay healthy out there. 🤗
I am a bonafide fan all day you are the man I love watching and putting it in to action in the field thanks for everything
That was brilliant. As someone who flys a lot for work I would love to see a o/n survival kit that could be kept in carry on. I always feel so naked when all cutting tools and cordage removed from the equation.
For cordage, you can replace your laces, particularly if you wear boots, with 550 or even a specialized 550 such as survivor cord. The survivor cord will give you jute, 25lb test fishing line, 7 strands and a sheath to work with in each length of lace. It has snare wire in it too but you might need to strip that out for flight. Runs about $30 for 100' hank from titan survival.
RTLW!!! Great video Andrew! Train the way you fight applies in survival as well, great applications with an Altoid Tin Kit. And, I must say great integrity showing the second match use and condom destruction, many might have edited it out, but this is real life, and sometimes... sh*t happens. Keep up the Fire!
Andrew, great video and info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job Andrew!
Never underestimate the value of gloves, if your hands get injured - survival is even harder!!
Reinforcing the condom with tape will make it more durable.
Good job!
OUTSTANDING SIR... God bless you... as always your Intel is AWESOME
hahaha I'm not the only one who sounds like the chipmunks in their videos. I love the content in your Altoids tin survival kit, especially the hack saw blade, I never thought of that. Great video brother I'm an avid bushman and practice my skills, and when I'm not out there myself I like to check out fellow youtuber's content and you're one of the first ones on my list. keep up the great work. Cheers
