I hope all you good service men see the war on our freedoms here at home. Accept in this war the bombs are silent. Thank you for another bad ass video I can apply camping. 💪✌️
Haha the old push-up heater....and one for the Airborne Ranger in the sky
One thing people often overlook is staying hydrated. Breathing cold air means you are using energy to warm yourself and this is added to the extra energy you're using to stay warm / moving thru the snow. People forget to drink when its cold.
Keep your head covered by the blanket with a hole just big enough to breath out. Growing up in the cold you learn tricks
Amen. I bring a gallon of water with me to work year round.. I'm still amazed at how ill finish the whole thing even on ice cold days. Working in layers makes you super thirsty, but most people just ignore it or opt for coffee, which just dehydrates you further. ✌️
I liked the way you removed the pot from the fire. I'll remember that one. As for your shelter: I'd be reticent putting myself in a huge tinder bundle with a candle inside. A person could be in the middle of a bad dream being chased by a bear or some ornery animal with bad intentions, knock over the candle and experience a bad outcome. Next thing you know you're waking up confused and in hellish conditions. As for an alternative I'd surround the candle with dirt or mud, or even rocks as a safety measure. I was badly burnt as a kid when a heater licked some flame to my cotton pajamas. Father had to roll me in a rug to put it out. Thereafter I developed a respect for flame.
Agreed, the praire debris hut is spooky. Two thoughts though- one is that he probably did blow the candle out. The other is that while I normally toss and turn a lot in the night to the point of at least once a week I wake up with my feet under the pillows, winter camping I don't, I just curl up into as small a ball as I can and stay there. But by putting it in the jar like this, unless you roll over directly onto it, it is contained, this is a big old pillar not some little dainty tea light. The reason you use them in shelters in cold weather is a candle throws as many BTUs as you do, and farts less than a companion. (Yes, I'm looking at people who camp with dogs.)
@@tenchraven Yeah, I have a hundred pound pit bull who farts like the dickens. I think there's something to say about a dog fart vs a human fart. Dogs like mine have a thing about snuggling up to a human leg when doling out affection. Believe me, I know the difference. As for the candle, I'd feel safe with a candle lantern you could hang inside a shelter. I don't have one but maybe I should look into it.
Personally i would rather use the chemical heat packs stuffed into your clothing at different locations you can get some that last up to 18 hrs especially in the tinder bundle .
Andrew, I’m going to put some of this training to use on January 15. Going cold-weather survival camping.
I agree with the fellow who posted about the danger of the debris hut and the candle.
Last year, late October or early November, I burned down a shelter in a course with Sigma3.
I was lucky to get out of the dang thing. We had built shelters as a group, and this particular lean-to had been used for over a month. All it took was one spark from the body length Fire lay by the wind to ignite the dry juniper covering the roof.
Thank you for another instructive video though. Always learning from you. You’re a great instructor.
My sister got her chin badly burnt when her sister set fire to her bib when she was eighteen months old.
Another good one. No bull, really doing it, nothing hypothetical, reality. I think you have established yourself as one of the true experts. Thanks for the education.
Timely lesson Andrew!!! It’s that time of the year again for snow and all the wonderful things that come with it! Great emphasis on clothing! I believe Mors said something to the effect that one should be dress accordingly to feel comfortable sitting by a fire at 2am… it’s your first line of thermoregulation!!! Many now days don’t dress accordingly because we traverse in climate controlled vehicles. They’re not thinking too deeply on the “what ifs”… Great stuff as always!!! Keep up the Fire and Happy New Year!
I always take my big scented candle and glass cookie jar wherever I go. Saved my life countless times.
Greetings from Ukraine, this material is very appreciated.
Good stuff sir. I like your pickle jar lantern. I started carrying a uco candle lantern years ago and it quickly earned a spot as a staple piece of kit.
Yet another excellent/informative video.

Lets not forget that the Major is a master chef when it comes to Ranger Pudding.
Hooah Andrew
I'm in Maine and appreciate these lessons. What was a hobby is now reality.
A REAL Tough Guy!
Raw survival. Great!
Happy New year major.
WE all thank you for all your hard work, honour and integrity sir.
WE all appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. 😎👍
I was just wondering how you been doing sir! I'm glad to see you're well!
Under the heading of "the more you know": match strikers contain red phospherous. When it is heated, it converts to the white variety. So if you use your one and last match, you might as well lay the striker (remember, LAST match, no more) with your tinder. The only time Willie Pete is your friend.
Also, I thought my woods debris shelters of boughs and leaves were tinder bundles- your prairie version is nerve wracking! 😅
Thoughts: When actually in the field in winter, and I expect you do the same Andrew, there is an ignition source or two in the jacket, in the lowest base layer or a neck lanyard, and in the pants, plus the spares in the kit. Packets of peanut butter or cheese spread slip into the pockets are are mostly fat, so is ghee and (ugh) mayo. Oatmeal packs smaller than ramen. And doing pushups to stay warm at oh-dark-hundred is the difference between winter survival and winter camping.
With the last match concept, I'm sure he would have used charcloth. Why he didn't mention it'd, can't say everything, address every issue in one short video.
I thought the same thing about the shelter .
@@David_Carlile You watch it because you like it but don't want to admit that to yourself. ? 🤣
@@David_Carlile Everyone learns from other people. Hardly anyone has been the first ever person to come up with an idea that no one else has thought of before, so I see no problem with people making videos sharing information with novices out there, even if this information was known about 50 years ago. All of us build upon ideas passed onto us that were passed onto the people who are educating us. Most people do not look into the origins of 'survivalism', so making a video for us to watch is good.
Minimalist survival videos are good to learn from. Why? Because it teaches us to be less dependant upon modern technology, since that modern technology can break, malfunction, be lost, get stolen, etc. So learning to make a fire without matches or lighter is good, just for backup. Self-defense should be layered: use the most convenient tools available to you, of course, but do not put all your eggs in one basket and have no backup plan. Learn the most "primitive" way to survive and that'll give you way more confidence in the field. That is all.
Happy New Year!
🎄The 2 things that terrify me the most.
1 freezing temps
2 no water
solid video🌟
Great Job Major !
An Oldtimer taught me how to safely retrieve a hot pot from the fire using the same criss-cross sticks. You are the only person I have seen doing it since 1975. Sir, 2 thumbs up!
Nice to have your videos back.
Awesome
This is my all time favorite video on this channel.
Hope we get another one like it this winter!
I've heard a dash of cool water will help settle coffee grounds. If that works, maybe it will settle tea leaves. I don't know, but I may try it. Excellent video Sir !
I'm getting into taking my favorite foods and processing them down to a very fine powder that takes up very little space.
You'd be amazed how much food you can fit in the pack when it's reduced to 100th of it's normal size.
Anything that's dry and light can be processed down to nothing.
However, once hydrated and cooked it's just as nutritious and filling as before.
Even powdered Bar-B-Q chips taste great in the field!
12:24 and knowing is half the battle. Ha mmm. Happy new year
I'm retired Military. Watching your video was reminiscent of listening to a no BS Training I grew accustomed to while serving. I'm 74 and I still enjoy camping and hunting. Your survival tips are very valuable and could save someone's butt in the event of an unfortunate, unexpected emergency while trekking through the woods while either hiking or hunting. Outstanding. Thank you and Happy New Year.
I can definitely tell you are the real deal. No fluf. No pound of bacon for breakfast. I appreciate your excellent videos.
Excellent video sir. January 1st here in Georgia and I'm on my front porch in a "T" shirt. Next week we dive back to a high of 40's. Gotta love the south.
Outstanding was looking forward to some cold weather but it is 75 degrees in the North Carolina sandhills. Just doesn't feel like January. Global worming lol.
Outstanding
14:25 You can store dry tinder and a match box in plastic bag like that and sealing it by melting the plastic
Great video share thank you and happy new year
Thank you again, sir. Most of what you present I'm either learning for the first time or being reminded & refreshed. One small point I can contribute: in the COLD acronym, you covered one reason you want Loose Layers. The other would be that tight clothing restricts blood flow, and makes you more vulnerable to frostbite. Cheers and happy new year!
Loose clothing allows for dead air space between layers. Dead airspace limits air molecules from moving and transferring cold molecules towards your body.
There's alot of good channels on UA-cam with survival content. This one appears to be the best one. Easy to follow and to the point. What everyone needs to learn is right here. ✅
1986…winter…South Korea…sub zero…myself and another soldier in a hole with a poncho over us stayed warm…with…a candle. Excellent video
Outstanding video
Andrew, you offer lots of useful, inventive and creative tips and techniques that we can all benefit from when using them. You answer the question “why should I do it this way?” when you demonstrate the technique and give the purpose/definition/description of how the technique works. That is excellent; most instructional videos/training don’t not answer the “why should I do it this way?” with as much detail and brevity you do. It it much appreciated and very helpful! Thank you 😊
Haven’t finished full video yet but….. “heh, it broke” I had to rewind to make sure that’s what was said. Was a good chuckle moment lol.
Good lessons on basic skills. People think I’m crazy when they see what I carry with me everyday. I show them videos like this and most get it. Some think that they will never have to rely on skills like this.
Outstanding! The chai alone was worth the price of admission.
If you're going to go to the trouble of packing all the ingredients for your Chai, might I suggest you get yourself a tea ball infuser. I would think a small stainless steel mesh strainer could have a lot of different uses besides its intended purpose. You wouldn't have to worry about getting a mouthful of tea leaves in your mouth or cleaning them out of your container when finished.
Another great video sir. Thank you again, and may 2022 be the best ever! Boomer Sooner.
thank you Andrew. mad respect! also thank you for your service
Here in south east Montana,the winter field survival experience is a genuine challenge,,but incredibly rewarding,, good morning 🌅
What a great Channel. It never gets boring like other silent bushcraft tutorials. Learned a lot here.
Thanks for the lesson in survival in cold weather.
Another great one Ranger!
I used to do that stuff all the time as a child and a teenager in the woods I figured out most of that stuff and a lot of Bush craft skills on my own many more I learn through tv and youtube.
This video couldn't of been made at a better time, thanks for the video...some kind of energy out here is looking out for me ..
Thank you major! Great info.
I enjoy all of your videos, I would like to see you, corrals Conner, David cantaberry, and a few others and make a video showing your knowledge and skills, an teamwork
Happy New Year, Major. Caught me by surprise with the lavender tea. I have one of those match cases with the rod striker on bottom. I am glad you showed how to use it because they don't come with instructions or a sandpaper type striker like the UCOs. When at sea Cup O' Noodles were the most popular food item in the ship's store. Whenever we got them in an UnRep you had to be quick to get as they sold out fast. But all our fresh water had a thin film of oil on it so we had some extra added flavor. That is one cool shelter. Some of your fans would probably be glad to pay you rent to use it as a weekend getaway. Outatanding as always. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the coming year. Before I forget, I like the lengthier video format.
Another one for the tool box.. kudos. Really given me some perspective and knowledge. Will pass it on. Aways seems I need to keep two Mylar and a drumliner at all times a for shelter floor. Candle trick darn amazing idea. Kudos
I was watching 👀 how he removed the pot from the fire 🔥 and I'll remember that the next time, I'm using my canteen cup ..Thanks
Happy new year below freezing here. I sent a girl to medical aid...turned out she was too hot. Did not speak English had fainted more than once, she was flapping her hands, and talking excitedly to her co-workers. Multiple company job site. She was working in a cold production plant, and when she went in for her tea break she kept her warm clothes on.
Outstanding! Thank you for you do.
Thanks, some great tips there.
Thank you
Ive watched several times; always learn. Thanks!
Another outstanding video sir
Looking forward to many more this new year .
Always forward rock steady sir
Good video. Even with the holes in the lid I would have thought it would starve the candle for oxygen. 20 degrees is a big difference. Always enjoy your stuff . Have a Happy New Year
Andrew, thank you for sharing this video, a lot of good information to have, take care, stay healthy and God bless you and your Family always.
Thanks for the great video! LOL! You fold your emergency blanket up the same way I do when I break camp!
Andrew have a great 2022. Excellent video. Thanks
FANTASTIC!!! Thank you for another great one.
Thank you for sharing these use tips and how to for surviving the cold weather; great video and information
Hi Andrew,
A great video, thank you. The Teepee fire reminds me of a Apache survival school I went to over 30 years ago, We were told, Apache build small fire and stay warm. White man build big fire and stay warm all night by collecting more firewood. We dug a basin shape hole. With the typical circle of rocks. Half that circle we built a wall by stacking rocks about 18' high. We filled any gaps with dirt. The wall acted as a reflector like a fire place in a home, so there was more heat. The wall blocked any wind coming our direction. No smoke in the eyes while preparing food. It also meant we would use less firewood. By morning the remaining coals had fallen to the bottom of the basin shaped hole and we could start a fire again easily. Of course our debris shelter faced the east for the warmth of the morning sun. It gave us some idea of direction without a compass. We were taught to not gaze into the fire. Any disturbance beyond our camp would take a little while for our vision to adjust.
Enjoying and learning from all of your videos. Thank you too for your patriotism.

Greetings from Argentina
Good video to start the new year. Thanks man.
Love your videos brother! Super straight forward and to the point!
It's hard to pick one favorite, but you're definitely in my top 3 of survival youtubers, and top 10 in general youtube. I wish I had you as a teacher or at least a role model when I was coming up, although, only in my mid 20's now so I still have a lot of time to put this wisdom you imparted to use. Thank you.
That tea! Good show again,
Love how you actually go over the acronyms, step by step in the process the way we learn in the military. Awesome reminder for someone who’s been out a little while.
Would love to see and hear your METT-TC before heading out on your trips. Love the videos.. great job.
Great video Andrew love the kits you make and how well you articulate the use of different tools and clothing. Ten Cs if survival. Can't wait for the next video.
Really enjoyed this one!
Thank you , awesome video

Happy New year Andrew. Excellent video, as always. The "more you know" concept is the golden key to so many things, but in a survival situation it's king. Well presented, easy to follow, and field tested, you do it up right! Thank you for all you do. All the best for 2022.
Awesome af lead the way.
