The best teacher is experience, each time you go out you learn more than any video can teach you. It's better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.
Really liked the video! No muss, no fuss, no long drawn out stories. Just the complete instruction essentials. All one has to do is to pay attention. Very high-quality instruction. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Ready for today top shelf edification. Today is the first episode I’ve watched since the successful removal of my brain tumor. After thirteen years of surgeries, chemo, and radiation I am tumor free. Stitches out April 13. Time to fulfill a promise to myself now-sign up for courses at the Pathfinder school. Carpe Diem every one. 🤙
I am doing much better these days, the little piece of tumor that was too deep to be removed started growing a couple of months ago. It’s day 60 of the new chemo(Ivosidenib). Thank you for your comment, I do appreciate it. 🤙
@@ReasontoLiveAdventures rock on, I'm so happy to hear you're still moving forward. Sometimes cancer is a lil bugger and won't go away at first. You got this.
My mantra, since waking from the coma, comes from Shawshank Redemption. “Get busy living, or get busy dying.” I occasionally post treatment update videos, so my fellow brain tumor warriors can see that there is life during and after treatment.🤙
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.
I love these survival skill videos! I agree, that everyone should know these basic skills! Great job explaining! Experience is king! Everyone practice these!
I follow you from Egypt .Unfortunately, we do not have forests to live this experience, but one day I will visit your forests and go through this experience. With my regards, an Egyptian follower
Solid information! Beyond that, I hope everyone appreciates all the effort that goes into the prep, filming and editing of your videos, definitely a lot of work you put into your channel.
This is literally the first bushcraft video I'm watching ever and it is super helpful! I also like how you point out to take care of the environment. It's so important.
2:48 The dig stick you’re making is called an o’o in the Hawaiian language. It is usually 5’-7’ and made from a variety of hardwoods found in Hawai’i like wiliwili, koa, ‘iliahi (Hawaiian sandalwood), kukui (Hawaiian candlenut) and was so durable, due to fire hardening and keeping it oiled to prevent boring insects and humidity, that it was passed down from one generation to the next. That simple tool, the dig stick or o’o’, kept an entire race fed and flourished for 1000 to 1700 years.
Thank you for your videos and time. I grew up in the bush and then spent 25yrs as a remote area fireman and instructor ( Aussie smoke jumper ) its great share our hints and tips. We are a dying breed ( outdoors men and women) and we need to teach our skills to others.
Really is a perishable skill set, but even though you cover trodden ground it refreshes to terminate-stay-resident in our harried minds. And good to see you teaching this to students as a working instructor. Top notch.
Great job, Andrew, Just to parrot what your other viewers have stated, ' Clear and concisely presented for all skill levels ', Thank you for your service and your time to instruct us on survival skills we might need one day.
Awesome video. Rangers and SF have amazing ancillary skills to not only survive but continue to operate with minimal or no resupply and continue to take the fight to the enemy. This day and age when most have a break down over their cold latte.
Hot damn! Loved that vid. Straight to the point, no scenic landscapes lingering on camera with wistful music accompaniment. No click-bait crap. Gonna get myself some Australian Chaga equivalent quick smart. Essential, light, carry material.
Another great class revision on survival. We never get tired of these knowledge no matter how many times we see it. Knowledge gain is learned when it's second nature. Any chance of doing a scenerio where you're searching for water & making shelter in an unfimiliar location.? Cheers Digger.!
Just a woman over here, trying to learn some skills that could save my life! I’m gonna make that bow saw! I just added a 21 inch sawblade to my Amazon cart and the metal rings. I think I can I think I can. Love your video.❤
These skills look simple while your watching someone else do them in the comfort of your home .. But need to be practiced if you want to be as slick & quick as this man ! Good stuff thanks.
Always enjoy your videos. Very informative, no nonsense, excellent content. In my opinion your one of the best bush craft channels out there. Please keep them coming
Outstanding content. Down and dirty and to the point. For the knowledge that you impart, thank you doesn't seem like enough. But, I have said it before, thank you for your time and effort in bringing us this knowledge.
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.
Excellent video! It's been said the more you know, the less you need to carry. Notwithstanding that advice, IMO a basic survival skill, and an essential one is Proper Prior Planning (P3) ... For example: P3 allows one to know more through study and practice, hopefully enough to get to P7. This video is a great way to hit that P3.
I am a newer subscriber to you channel. I've watched three videos. Excellent presentation and to the point. Thanks for what you do. From one veteran to another: thank you for your service. 🇺🇲
Thanks for the video Andrew, I just want to say I appreciate you being so dedicated. I'll see ya in May or when the Advance BC course comes online. from an old Scout "Scouts Out".
Excellent! I use the bow saw quite a lot. I think it might be best to remove the saw blade when not in use as the sapling memory reduces the tention over time and weakens the saw
Rather than Chaga, which has other uses, I personally use horse hoof fungus ( Fomes excavatus ) which really has none. This video as usual. Is on point. Keep it up.
You rock. (Frankenstein wants to chime in: Fire bad! Swiss Army Knife good!) I learned a lot of nuance things watching this. The pot hanger for instance OR the pointy end of a spindle for vampires-- much needed in this day and age.
You reviewed a lot of good ideas. And useful thanks for the time it took to make the video. Thanks for the effort you did making it. Thanks for your service.
There is a lot of survival channels on UA-cam some of them very good but your channel I seem to learn more and can take in your techniques easier than other channels really enjoy watching them
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
Outstanding as always, Sir. Your chair is a luxury version of the one I made a few months back on a short camp in some local woodland, mine was just a triangle of 3 sticks lashed together and leaned against a tree, with a folded German army sleeping mat (the ones that fold into a rectangle about 15 x 12 in) cushioning my backside, balanced on the lower crossbar. Not as comfortable as yours but still better than sitting on the ground. The square/shear lashings I learned 4 decades ago as a Boy Scout are invaluable for this type of construction, as we were not taught these in my time in the British Army.
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!!!!
I like how casually you mention that the spindle can also be used for vampires, most "survival experts" don't even bother to mention them
I know right
Your chances of being killed by a vampire are very low but never zero...
Zombies are like quicksand in the 80's, just not as common as the media tells you.

YAY! how are you? Almost a year since ur stitches were out.

going to be teaching my kids these skills as a homeschool topic. fun times!

That's really cool. Hopefully one day you can come visit the woods.
@@garethjones7611 I will do so as soon as possible 😊
We will welcome you with open arms!
Would be a neat idea for a series "Bushcraft Experts in the Desert!" how long can they survive?
We love Egypt 🇪🇬 ❤😊 you must visit we have many beautiful Forrest with lakes and forests 🌳

Pure and distilled knowledge, pay attention closely or miss important details.
Simple, informative, and could mean the difference of life or death. Thank you, for passing on your knowledge, & time making these videos !
I appreciate the details you put in describing your actions. Very helpful, thanks
Really is a perishable skill set, but even though you cover trodden ground it refreshes to terminate-stay-resident in our harried minds. And good to see you teaching this to students as a working instructor. Top notch.
perishable?

Great video! Having a high standard of perfection only ensures durability.
Awesome video. Rangers and SF have amazing ancillary skills to not only survive but continue to operate with minimal or no resupply and continue to take the fight to the enemy. This day and age when most have a break down over their cold latte.
Thank you a million times. Priceless knowledge and information. Thank you for everything in this video.
Hot damn!
Loved that vid. Straight to the point, no scenic landscapes lingering on camera with wistful music accompaniment. No click-bait crap.
Gonna get myself some Australian Chaga equivalent quick smart. Essential, light, carry material.
Thank you for your hard work, knowledge and wisdom.

What do you mean, “just”?
Thank you for the refresher course. This is notice I've seen for awhile almost 4 months.
Love these excellent skills, I never get enough of them, thanks Andrew!
Every time I watch your videos, I get excited! 👏
Love this, straight to the point, no messing!
Love it! I'm getting out for some bushcraft in the snow real soon and am inspired by this video!
Thank you for answering my question, I really enjoy your videos. I think you have great content. You are in the top three that I follow.
This video was mind blowing. Thank you for taking the time to create this.
Great video, solid tips. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
one of the best survival educational video I have seen these days.
Thank you for sharing. I'm new to bushcraft and this was fascinating.
Always a great class basic or advanced! Thanks Andrew. Bravo.
👍👍

Thank you Andrew. I really enjoy your channel & will continue to support your quality work.
your talent with outdoor survival skills is very impressive!!
Best survival bushcraft videos by far... Greetings from Spain. 👍
Always enjoy your videos. Very informative, no nonsense, excellent content. In my opinion your one of the best bush craft channels out there. Please keep them coming
I like how after we’re done with the chair and it’s time to go to bed, we use the same bipod to set up a shelter.👍👍👍

Andrew,
Another informative video !!
Great additional information to the basics video...
Thank you !!
Great job as usual, Andrew! You set the bar just a little higher with each video!
Your approach at teaching is exemplary! Clear, precise, and well thought out.
In my humble opinion, you are the best teacher on UA-cam.
You get more professional with every video! Keep it up
Loved the pot hanger. Hadn't seen that before. Thanks Andrew for all you do.

Thank you for your hard work, really appreciate this information......
Always good to brush on stuff , thx for your service to the country and outdoor community
Very educational really enjoyed it thanks for sharing this with us.
The content of the channel is very good, the inspiration for me that I like bushcraft and nature. A big hug brother from the bush.
Lots of useful stuff. Thanks. It takes me back when I was a boy scout.
Outstanding! Good solid material. Excellent refresher especially regarding the method of bow saw you made. G2G!
As usual, a very informative and well made video. Thanks Andrew, take care brother
Very practical, real and instructive video, without useless verbiage. I follow you bro
I really like your methods I learned couple new tricks that will come in handy in the near future in the woods
Enjoyed this thanks for sharing..i need a lot of string in my bug out back pack
😊😅
I reallyenjoyedthis video u r the only one I have come across that shows this sort ofthing keep going love from Birmingham UK
Great video and explanation.
I particularly like the bent sapling saw for beginners.
Excellent! I use the bow saw quite a lot. I think it might be best to remove the saw blade when not in use as the sapling memory reduces the tention over time and weakens the saw
That has been my same experience too !
Outstanding! Learned a couple new things here. You're the real deal, Andrew!
Rather than Chaga, which has other uses, I personally use horse hoof fungus ( Fomes excavatus ) which really has none. This video as usual. Is on point. Keep it up.

So wonderful, my friend, I wish you good health❤❤❤❤

Great video, Andrew! Always educational. Ranger on!
Excellent instructional survival bushcraft video ❤
Not a moment wasted! Excellent.
Thank you for sharing tease survival tips., and also, thank you for taking the time to make these vids! I love learning about survival…
Phenomenal video once again! I especially loved the cordless pot hanger. I know I'll be coming back to it in the future. Thanks!
Outstanding as always, Sir. Your chair is a luxury version of the one I made a few months back on a short camp in some local woodland, mine was just a triangle of 3 sticks lashed together and leaned against a tree, with a folded German army sleeping mat (the ones that fold into a rectangle about 15 x 12 in) cushioning my backside, balanced on the lower crossbar.

Great illustration for bushcraft. Never saw a video like this before, out of hundreds that I have seen. Great skills too!
👍
Awesome video Andrew.. very clever and ingenious survival and bushcraft skills. Keep up the great work!
The pack bag was exactly what I needed the other day. Glad to have stumbled across this video!
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!
