Best survival / outdoor channel on TY , HANDS DOWN! just straight knowledge, no crying about " the algorithm " or youtube " throttling views " !!! No shameless plugs for below par items , or trying to sell us viewers things for the whole video! JUST GREAT KNOWLEDGE!!! Rant over, but it is seriously what other outdoor creators seem to be doing these days hahah , keep doing your thing!! Wish I could like your videos multiple times 😂 💪👍
When I was in the army. My first day at my PDS. The platoon Sgt, a real asshole of an sfc. Told all of us that had just came to the unit. That we should always have those things on our person. I was the only one who had all of them already. My old man drilled that in my head. When he gave me a knife, and zippo lighter on my thirteenth birthday. Leatherman hadn't been made yet, but I added one to my edc the year they came out.
An amazingly well-done presentation, sir! If you would be so kind, I am sure most of us would love a long-form video of a hike where you show us some of the uses of your kit in situ. Where to place traps, fishing with the kit's contents, etc. We would love to hear more from your considerable acumen! My kit in the scouts always contained what my scoutmaster called "human condiments" - elemental salt tablets to replace electrolytes, sugar packets for cuts, and yellow mustard for burns.
Very complete. You just can't get vids like this. Thanks Major. Wife real impressed with this as well. I've had military training and both of us are Bushcrafters and always learn something new here with Andrew. Bravo Zulu!
I love watching these types of videos, especially from RSaFC, to make sure my kits are up to snuff, see if Im missing anything. Yup, Im good. One thing I might add for EDC is belt gear. I have 3 leather belts that I cycle through and each one has a handcuff key, a bobby pin wrapped in a few feet of fine kevlar cord, a razor blade, and a small strong neo magnet that has a hole in the center (which is attached to one end of the kevlar cord) and this is situated and duct taped flat on the rear most inner part of the belt.
Really enjoy your channel, great information. Something I think that could help a kit is a card to reference a few knots. Being that many people, myself for example, don't use the knots in your videos often enough to remember them when needed. A reference card would be useful to help get the most out of cordage by making the proper knots safer with less waste.
Sir, just simply one of the best channels of its kind on this platform with loads of useful information well presented. You finally showed how to fashion that aluminum foil cup. That should be a ‘short’ like using a button compass, which I always viewed as a useless toy. The folding sewing and fishing kits are also great hacks. Thanks!!
This is an excellent reminder that useful survival gear need not be costly. But, after putting a mediocre knife in my kit and seeing how very limited it was, I rethought the need. My tin is about the same size as in the video, so I splurged and got an alox SAK Farmer. A real knife and saw of equal length, plus awl, screwdriver, can/bottle opener. For space inside the tin, I'd jettison the multitool and just slide a 6 in or smaller pair of water pump pliers under the ranger bands on the outside. Not only handy for snare wire, but if your survival situation is near machinery or civilization -- it's a tool that fits a range of nuts up to an inch plus handleless water spigots.
Wow!!! So much information… Lots of review from some of your previous videos ( I’m a loyal follower) Neat idea for the foil~ I learned how to make paper cups when I was in school… great to use that info in a survival setting- yay😁 Rubber bands are always a must for us ladies with long hair… 😊 Happy saint Patrick’s day Andrew, and fellow subscribers😊
Wow, that’s the best kit i’ve seen so far…. I like that everything are prepared, you can use it right away 👍 i would have added an emergency blanket but i understand that it would not fit in that tin 😅
Overall a bunch of useful tools in your kit - thanks for showing. Four items though I consider a waste of space. Most realistic survival situations get solved within 72 hours, so snares, snare-wire, fishing-kit and broadhead are ridiculous to carry, take some bullion-cubes instead to replenish your minerals after a shelter build or long hike with lots of sweating. More tinder/flame-extenders and some charcloth in a ziploc-bag, if your first fire has to be started with the fresnel lens. I don't know, why so many Americans are talking about survival and focus so much on food and snacks, which IMHO are more related to bush-camping and military SERE scenarios. Most of us are considered overweight, we can easily survive two weeks without food, even in wintertime. Against feeling hungry an 800ml pot of hot water in the morning and in the evening helps (according to Mors Kochanski). Might be a concern for people, that are suffering from diabetes.
Sir, T Y again! One possible addition is a little 11/2 by 3/8 inch long tube level. Useful for quickly building level beds & locating shelters that drain of water. Also possible to use for estimating vertical angles of potential landing strips. Super Cubs, for example, can land well on surprisingly steep, cleared landing slopes. Beware of soft tundra, though. Also, taking off from a tundra strip with a Cub is tricky. Firm gravel hill strips (of adequate width) are much better. Been there, seen that. Helps a lot if stranded folk can communicate accurate landing slope estimates to rescue aircraft,. Helos have clearing diameter requirements as well as slope & surrounding vegetation height limits. Now is the time to learn the geometry.
Good stuff. Btw if you want a bit more windproofingvoutvof your b-day candles then spring for the self re-igniting trick candles. Even if the wind does blow em out they will spark back up on their own most of the time.
I carried an Altoids survival tin built around a Ritter RSK Mk5 on several deployments to SWA, it easily fit into a cargo pocket. Never used the knife but its Micro-Light came in handy during unplanned power outages and pre-threaded needle used to sew up gashes in my 5.11's.
Well done for showing people how to make the cup from tin foil, so many times I have seen people put a tiny scrap of foil in a tin that would be useless and had to tell them you need a much bigger sheet (like you showed) in order to get a cup that is viable to use on a fire to boil water. You always give no nonsense advice and anyone with some experience can top up, likewise newbies can really gain some great knowledge. Thank you for posting this video
Yes sir I just watched your video on your tin kit and thought it was cooling have an sol traverse kit but it was not a complete kit so I added somethings to it to make it better like a candle a wire saw a fishing kit a sewing kit two sheets of tin foil microw Paracord some mini zip ties and a few other things I have learned a lot from your videos and I hope you never run out of ideas sir and again I thank you for your tips and your service sir
Great as always. 1 thing though I was thinking about the whole time I was watching this: You need on of them small pencils, like what you get to keep your golf score at the miniature golf place. Why do you need a pencil, something to write with? Im sure you dont think its anything important now, but its REALLY important later when you need it.
I don’t care if others say that the rubber bands are crap. I don’t and I am buying some of the ranger bands, multiple sizes. Great video, gave me ideas to add and revise my tin kit.
Outstanding Andrew! I'm really liking the ready made snare's,One can never have too many of them,Plus the bonus hack of the washer ,Excellent! I have #14 treble hooks with my fishing kit,It increases the chance of catching some fish & can be used for catching birds & sm.game.Many Thanks for keeping us Knowledgable in The Art's of Survival! Cheers!!
I discovered your channel a few weeks ago. I am bing watching since then. Amazing content with very well done presentation. The information is presented in a kind and very detailed manner. Thank you for rekindling my interest and love for the great outdoors. Edit: spelling mistakes
Always had 8 to 10 snare wires in my kit. 4 plastic cups 32 piece multi sized fish hooks And line - notes of area with type of fish size of hook And mapped areas 3 tree taps (Spiked tubes) 3 types of fire making And a water filter with badder/tablets My gut hook knife 2 razor blades My regions wild edible booklet (Too lazy to learn more than the 30 i know) ..I have another layer of heavier items that also stays in the truck ..Axe, sharpening stone heavier clothing/rain wear Advanced first aid kit Tourniquet, Suture kit, Hemostatic gauze. One of my biggest weaknesses was knowing first aid I took a few red cross first aid / CPR + courses And suture emergency training Really good information for someone alone Or in pairs middle of no where
G'Day Andrew great video mate there's nothing like making your own survival tins from old and new tobacco tins I even have a tin I bought from a antique store that is from WW2 and have got it stocked with this and that and taped around outside. It's good to use everyday items you may have around the house or pick up from shops, well stay safe and alert.
For your cordage, have you ever looked at tarred bank line? I subscribe to another UA-cam channel, corporals corner and he used to advocate for paracord, but found that number 36 bank line takes up 1/3 of the space and has a breaking strength of over 300 lb.
Great kit! I'd substitute a piece of SOLAS tape for the signal codes on the interior of the lid. Or you could run both, one on the interior of the lid and one on the interior of the bottom.
putting a 25-30cm nylon or flourocarbon with a loop on each hook make those hooks MUCH easier to use if injured, cold or just bad light conditions. only downside is slightly more difficult to store (I put mine in paper folded to tiny envelopes that I dip in paraffin wax to waterproof. second, one or two of the fishingflies, preferably small ones #12 or even #14, they can catch smaller fish that you can either eat or use as bait third would be one or two larger hooks with wire leads to be set over night to possibly catch something. like a pike, burbot, catfish...
A suggestion, use a spam meat tin instead of this british tobacco tin. It takes almost the same room, but can be conveniently used to boil water. Since you can’t reuse the lid, put the items into a cotton handkerchief and keep the whole thing tight with a ranger band.
Do yourself a favor and do NOT use a tin unless you want the contents to get wet and useless. I am 70+ and a Nam Vet + other conflicts. Years ago I had to learn this the hard way (I was stupid because I had to suffer more than one failure). I switched to a heavy duty waterproof container and have never looked back!!!
@@les3449 Yep, I noticed that and did that myself. It's just not dependable. Please bear in mind I'm not trying to negatively criticize this guy but the tin is just a bad idea in reality.
@@richardstone5241 OK, I see. Having spent 30 total years in the military I KNOW that knowledge and experience is constantly being lost. I saw the wheel being reinvented several times. What exactly was it that you recommended?
@@les3449 Don't mean to butt in -- this is an interesting sub-thread to me, who also has a metal kit (and though it's heavier gauge than the Major's and has spring roller clips on both ends, there's no guarantee it's 100% waterproof). If I judged the tradeoff in packability and concealability to be an absolute necessity, a wide-mouth polypropylene bottle would be a consideration. But the tin can be used for boiling (very small volumes of) water and the bottle not so much. Unless you go with stainless steel or titanium -- and already it's a whole different category of gear. Definitely with a real use case, like southeast Asian jungles!
I wear a belt with interior zip every day. I carry a five euro note, a lightweight, but extremely sharp small knife, a top quality hacksaw blade, mini lighter, 20cmx20cm folded tin foil, and folded plastic bag. All fits inside the interior zip space. Always have something when you need nothing, cos when you need something, you might have it.
One thing people forget is smokers have tinder on them. It take a tiny amount of fuel to light a cigarette and if you take a drag or two you can pinch off the ember in some fine tinder and create fire from it
Zackery Fowler made that paddle boat on season 3 of alone. That’s how he fished. I was saying all along why more didn’t do that. They kept trying to get their hand lines out deeper. He used his rubber bands off his slingshot.

For real, he has so much knowledge
You are a "Go" at this station, Ranger. Very well done. You should write a book, heavy with quality photos, on kits and gear.

Having watched you for a while, I actually have taken your old instructors advice. I always carry a knife or mulitool, a lighter, and a snack.

Well thought out, Major!
putting a 25-30cm nylon or flourocarbon with a loop on each hook make those hooks MUCH easier to use if injured, cold or just bad light conditions. only downside is slightly more difficult to store (I put mine in paper folded to tiny envelopes that I dip in paraffin wax to waterproof.
second, one or two of the fishingflies, preferably small ones #12 or even #14, they can catch smaller fish that you can either eat or use as bait
third would be one or two larger hooks with wire leads to be set over night to possibly catch something. like a pike, burbot, catfish...
A suggestion, use a spam meat tin instead of this british tobacco tin. It takes almost the same room, but can be conveniently used to boil water. Since you can’t reuse the lid, put the items into a cotton handkerchief and keep the whole thing tight with a ranger band.
