    Always top shelf instruction. My brain tumor surgery is coming up 03/21/2023. Thirteenth anniversary of the day I first had the grand mal surgery. Doctors said I would likely never walk again, and would probably be dead by now. My apologies for being a chatty Kathy today everyone. Never let a diagnosis determine your future.🤙

      agreed, couple smaller hooks would be great.
      might I recommend few things more.
      First, handfull of fishing flies, say gold ribbed hares ear-both with and without gold bead head, killer bug, red tag, cardinal... those increase chances of catching fish, frogs... without bait.
      second, attaching a 250mm fluorocarbon leader with a loop on end to all hooks and flies is a good idea, it is much easier to deal with if injured or cold.
      third couple large hooks with 400mm long wire might be a good idea to put in there for catching pike, catfish, burbot... using fisgguts or smaller fush for bait.

    12-B in a psst life here. I'm in the construction biz these days, and in both the Army and my current vocation, tie wire is a great addition to an emergency kit for securing items or a quick repair. Tougher than zip ties and reusable, you can easily stash it in your current kit that you can pre cut in pieces or a 6 to 10 foot length. Needless to say it's uses are countless for a Combat Engineer or construction worker.

    The pouch holds a lot of kit. Especially like the striker paper affixed to the back of the signal mirror and the candle wax applied to the book of matches. 6 years as a private, huh. I never would have guessed. Just kidding. But that is how you made it sound. Your channel is one of the best. Always learning something new and and having past lessons reinforced. Keep on rockin', Major.

  • @ec6052
    @ec6052 Рік тому +3

    Strike Anywhere matches dipped in wax or in a match safe imo is the best option for matches. Waterproof, Stormproof, it's all useless if that striker gets wet or wears out. Which they do! Under good circumstances you'll wear out one striker on a single box but I bet most people who don't use them on a regular occasion will run out of striker before matches and that's not counting being under poor conditions or stress. The paper one's are terrible in damp conditions, when you need them most! You'll get a few fires but you'll have to be so very careful to make them all last in wet environments, you'll need a way to dry your hands to get more than a few uses out of a pack. Although I live in the wettest/foggiest place on Earth according to Guinness. So most others may not experience this problem as much but if it works here, it'll work everywhere.

    I’ve been using the same Spec-Ops pouch, in black, for years. It was my suburban walking possibles bag. Like your kits, emphasis on illumination, communication/signaling. I appreciate that unlike many others, you emphasize signaling as a priority in most scenarios. Then my walking pouch has first-aid items, blister kit, to keep me walking. And in case I couldn’t keep walking, a poncho or Mylar blanket for extra protection from the elements. Lastly, extra poop bags, which were handy for more than cleaning up after the dog.

    Glad to hear that you are a "Maverick," Skipper! So was David Hackworth, so you are in great company. A thesis: a cohesive Army company can be based on an ideal maximum number of 148 Soldiers to maintain a "real community." Vladimir Peniakoff of "Popski's Private Army" in WWII kept his highly successful Commando unit to 120 troops. Likely 120 was the maximum number of ornery individuals he could keep in mind at one time. Voltaire, a philosopher, not Bonaparte, a soldier, was the one who said that wars are won by big battalions. Actually won by battalions built of cohesive companies. Some talk now of 15-Soldier squads. Might not as well have 8 buddy-pairs? We must choose the best tools for the job, in any case, though. Great Kit, sir!

      @@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft Sir, T Y in the extreme! 170 can be a handful number under one company commander, although 200 or so may be common. A friend of mine who was in the 1st Air Cavalry in Vietnam in 1967 & 68 was a mortarman (81 mm) constantly in the field with a company of a mere 63 or so. Something additional to remember is that the original British commandos training our first G.I. Rangers, one G.I. of whom was my then 22-year-old father, in Scotland and Ireland, trained & operated in groups limited in size by the capacity of the boats used to land the troops. Robert W. Black in "Rangers in World War II" gives Ranger units of 65 to 71 G.I. troopers within a battalion of 467 all ranks. Regular American rifle battalions ran 22 officers & 864 men.

    Lots of really good ideas in here in definitely gonna use the duct tape stash idea. My only criticism is I would suggest smaller fish hooks. It's much easier to find tiny fish and a minnow skewer will keep you alive just fine. I generally keep salmon egg hooks in my kit. You could replace one of the hooks in your kit with 4 of those tiny hooks. Just my 2 cents from practical experience in my area.

    • @najroe
      @najroe Рік тому +4

      I agree, another is having a few smallish fishing flies (size 14 -size 10) in the kit (gold ribbed hares ear-both with and without gold bead head, killer bug, red tag...) as they might catch you food without bait.
      also good idea to put a 250mm fluorocarbon leader with a loop on end to all hooks/flies , why? you might be injured or cold making it difficult to tie knots to the hooks but managing to atach to a monofilament loop is likely possible with even one hand.
