    -25 degrees celsius is cold.
    I have done my military service in the north of Sweden decades ago and we had -27 celsius and was out in the woods week at the time, but we had canvas tent with wood stove to spend the nights in. To stay without shelter... thats's tough 💪❄️
    Excellent video Andrew.

    The best advice I’ve ever heard was from Les Stroud years ago when he did the Survivorman series years back. Said to gather the maximum amount of firewood you would ever thought you would ever need then triple it. Said it was no fun running out of firewood in the middle of a long cold winter night.

  • @Drrayoldman

    Kudos! you are the ONLY video poster that started a fire first! Color me impressed. FIRE FIRE FIRE.... Im a former Montana wilderness guide. I've spent many unplanned nights under the stars. As soon as I make the decision to over-night at a spot, I start a fire and gather wood. Feed the fire and gather MORE wood. Forget "old school" flints etc... keep a disposable lighter in your pants, shirt, coat and backpack. Then I begin the shelter. You can complete a shelter by firelight. And should an injury occur the fire can literally be a life saver! FIRE, for your life sake get the fire going FIRST!

    I live in Minnesota and what I like about your videos is that you demonstrate survival in weather that I can relate to. Not many videos out there demonstrate survival under 0° and even fewer demonstrate survival in extreme cold like -20° or wind chill temps of -40°or -60°

      Ranger Andrew is the real winter soldier, Adam. Hard, strict training prepares you to progress through the unique, higher-level learning lessons coming suddenly with the extreme emotions of combat. You might even remember to push your safety off. By the way, a good example of training poetry!

    Thanks for enduring that level of cold to demonstrate the necessary skills to survive. Any colder and you'd need a longer thermometer lol. So much content and useful information in 24 minutes! I noticed that it appeared you were sanitizing your axe and knife after processing the rabbit. Do you do anything to your gloves to clean them? I've got no experience processing game in those temps so I'm very curious and respect your opinion on that. Merry Christmas!

    One video speaks 1gbyte of words. Thank you again Andrew. A couple of notes - From Ron Hood - laying a perimeter of logs around bedding helps keep it all together while sleeping. Thumbs up on the prima loft pants. One good thing about getting old - I have to get up during the night anyway, so stoking a fire is not a big deal anymore, haha. Most folks don't realize it's just as important to hydrate during the Winter as Summer. You really have to force yourself to drink. Personally, I prefer boiling rather than broiling rodents - it's easier (I'm lazy) and with a bouillon cube not bad, especially if you can find wild onions or garlic. I'm still looking for a book on native bottle of wine trees of North America, but for some reason......

    The things people are willing to do to teach us. That was seriously going the extra frozen mile for that video. It's just a damn shame there aren't more people paying attention to these lessons - some of the people who have died in this winter storm could have used the information to maybe stay alive. Someone learning to get a fire going in adverse conditions of all sorts could have saved some lives.
