    To everyone out there watching this video, or any other kind of survival, let em offer this one piece of advice. After you have bought a functional bushcraft survival knife, after you have packed tinder into your survival pack, and added cordage, a tarp, a flashlight, don't put the pack away. The most important piece of equipment you will ever have with you, is YOU. So, take your pack out into your back yard, or the woods behind your house. Now, practice gathering firewood. Practice batoning pieces of deadwood into firewood. Practice making feathersticks. Practice lighting a fire with your Bic lighter, then with matches, and finally with a ferro rod. Practice tying some lines between trees and making a shelter with your tarp. All of this can be surprisingly hard, even in your backyard. If you are ever actually on the trail, out in the woods, miles and miles from help, it will be MUCH harder to do these things without practice. Buying gadgets isn't that useful. Buying good equipment like a good knife or camp hatchet, or even a folding saw, are all helpful. But what will be the most important thing is your ability to actually use your equipment, and everything will be a hundred times easier if you've actually practiced doing it before you find yourself out in the wilderness with just your pack and your skills.

    When I went through Army wilderness survival course a buddy who was an E7 18 Bravo in 5th Group advised me not to take a big single blade sheath knife that other guys typically carry on their one knife packing list.
    He advised me to take a Victorinox Swiss Army pocket knife that includes the wood saw blade as my one knife allowed on the packing list.
    I was able to complete all bushcraft & survival tasks before my peers whom brought a fixed single blade sheath knife.
    The spine on the wood saw blade strikes a ferocium rod well.
    The two knife blades, the awl /reamer, cork screw and even the tweezers along with the wood saw allowed me to do everything required.
    I can use the pocket knife blade to quickly carve a wedge to split fire wood so never had to baton my knife.
    The wood saw cut notches perfectly.

    • @RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft
      @RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft  Рік тому +5

      Agreed. I think a Multitool of some sort and a simple folder can do a lot. I carried a Leatherman Super Tool 300 and a Benchmade Griptilian through training and used those for basically everything. The “knife” I was issued was a Gerber FML. The only thing it was good for was digging a hole. It rattled when I shook it and the serrations were sharpened off from repeated use.

    • @garyabernathy6225
      @garyabernathy6225 Рік тому +1

      I agree with the Swiss Army knife to take with you, mine is the fieldmaster model. A great pocket knife that does everything. However I feel better with a straight edge knife as well, mine is the Gerber Strong Arm that I have mounted on my backpack with my skill set. The Strongarm isnt the most popular knife but it does bushcraft duty also. I feel better with both.

    • @Swearengen1980
      @Swearengen1980 Рік тому +1

      @@garyabernathy6225 There are probably better, more sturdy options than a Swiss Army. Clay Hayes won "Alone" with the Leatherman P4 and seeing the things he did with that, I have a hard time believing any SAK I've ever had would stand up to that abuse.

    • @makinganoise6028
      @makinganoise6028 Рік тому

      The UK is very oppressive with knife regulations, so a Swiss Army style is often, legally the safer choice if going anywhere like hiking trails, where other people around. I keep a Mora in my pack, for more remote places, but not on display, if a single night wilcamp, I may dispense and just take a leatherman or Swiss army.

    Love the military style of teaching…Corporal’s Corner was my introduction to UA-cam some years ago (I’m an old fart) and I was immediately drawn to the no-nonsense style that I remember from the Army. I didn’t care for the peace-time Army of the 80’s, too interested in buffing floors and shining boots than being good at your actual JOB, but I’ll say one thing, the Army knows how to beat a skill into you! Glad you made it to retirement which I hope is many more years than you served! The Pathfinder School is blessed to have you.
