When I married my wife, I had an LL Bean queen size wool trapper blanket. She washed it one day. Now I have really heavy, thick, single size wool trapper blanket. But, it is warm!
Thank you for being real. Have watched several channels, and they all devolve into commercials - touting some lame monthly "survival" subscription deal that has over priced crap. Really appreciate an honest person. Thanks again.
Value of a good wool blanket…..CAN NOT BE EMPHASIZED ENOUGH! Great job!
It's good to see another video Andrew, was starting to get a little worried bud. Stay safe n be well. As always looking forward to the next one, keep em coming...
Thank you for demonstrating how minimal does not always mean a knife. I see too many videos in which the knife is the basic cutting tool. Granted it lends itself to many uses and is easier to carry; however, it also tends to infer that a knife is too important. I am reminded of Otzi the iceman's kit. A knife and an axe. We tend to focus on a knife much like focusing on a firearm. We lose sight of the axe and its multiple uses if pressed into service. So thanks for featuring the axe.
If I could pick someone to accompany me when next I am in a wilderness survival situation it would be you, Andrew.
I like your videos for survival because you go out and demonstrate what your talking about. Thanks again.
The best fast and effective improvised shelter I have ever seen and used was one that my grandpa told me about.
All you need is a poncho.
Make a debris bed or even sit on your pack, dawn poncho, lean up against whatever.
If you need warmth, start a small fire and boil water. Then move away from your fire spot. Place hot canteen between your legs and allow the canteen heat along with your body heat to heat your small enclosed "shelter".
If something spooks you or if you feel the need to move. All you have to do is stand up grab your pack and move.
I had already been watching your videos when Corporal's Corner refered me to tour Channel. One thing CC does is look for a branch that has one straight tine and two oblique tines on either side of the straight and use it like a broom to sweep leaves. For small areas using your foot works also.
I was concerned that my current survival kit wouldn't be up to the challenge of winter, but you have reassured me. :) Thanks Andrew.
Love a small hatchet. So useful.
Really should build your bed against a large stump, rock, or build a wall then have your fire with its own wall behind it to push the heat into you and then bunch off the barrier on the other side. This radiant heat will not only keep you warmer but it will allow you to have a much smaller fire and use less wood.
G'day Andrew, what I particularly like about "5" vids, is that it pushes the boundaries of the selected 5 and as a result, forces one to think outside the box. If you have more items, well and good, apply the same logic to those too. Being winter specific, I'm surprised no tarp, but I guess you do have the tools and natural resources, (and perhaps trash), to build a shelter, so fair enough mate. Cheers Duke.
Great video. That looks like an old Coleman Peak 1 Billycan.... wish they still made them.
Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Out of all the videos I watch on UA-cam I really enjoy yours the most, like I said keep em coming bud. 👍😉🤙
Nice Roycroft frame. I always lash on another 8-10” horizontal stick about 8” down from the top of the frame. That way I can easily use my ridgeline as the lashing for the blanket/tarp by going around the tips of all 4 points and not using the top except for the shoulder straps.
You just know if you ask the major where he's Been, he's gonna reply..
"that's classified"
😎👍
Andrew! A great presentation on a minimal kit so you can winter time smooth it!
Excellent minimalist video. Good info and thank you for the examples. I'd beg for six, though - and add a tarp.
Great video, going out tonight, in the swamp low 35 in town so it will be at least 25 to 27 out there
👍 Long Live the Republic 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Finally a new video! :) Awesome work brother, keep it up. Always learning something new and it’s much appreciated!
I probably won't ever use this info, but I just love watching your videos! Thank you.
Been a fan of hammer poll small axes for a long time. A lot of utility in a small package.
And also. Hand made Native or Mexican throw blankets cannot be beat! Wool blankets are the only thing comparable! Just IMO. 😉👍
What about a serape?
I retired from the army. Now I’m taking some local survival classes.
The last part phase 4 is 5 days knife only.
I got time I just finished phase 2.
But dam 5 days with only a knife and the clothes on your back.
It’s going to be one hell of a challenge.
Great use of a minimal kit sir.
Good Video, good minimal kit. Plenty of Locust and Hedge Apple trees here in Southern Illinois. Hard to handle, but good for fence posts and burns hot.
I liked the adjustable pot hanger outstanding sir🤘
Another great one! Straight up, right to the point, love it. Always something to learn. Thanks Andrew, respect and appreciation.
Real and to the point. I enjoy your videos. Your Bushcraft projects are always practical and welcomed. Shawn Kelly was right when he said that you should have more subs. Your content is excellent. Thanks. Keep up the great work Andrew.
Enjoyed the video as always. I particularly like that most videos you cover survival scenarios from both sides of wanting to be rescued and not be found.
5 C's!
Thanks Ranger!
Excellent video. You clearly show and demonstrate the core basics and 5 C tools, then stop.Thank you.
Less is more! The more I train in the Sangre De Cristos, the more I'm becoming a believer in minimalists kits. The more you know...Thanks for detail on the frame. Very helpful.
I have been looking all over the internet for that simple frame pack..too
Loved it , Especially with everything going on in the world, It is necessary for people to know and practice basic survival skills.
Excellent Video Brother! Thanks for everything you do to teach us. Cheers.
Good to see your videos...good job...freedom for all people...
Your intro tune sounds like the intro to This Old House!
Shawn Kelley turned me on to your videos. I have watched a few and must tell you that you are on the money. Your videos are informative and for the most part spot on. Congratulations on your selection to the Major's list. You are a quite gifted young man. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Another interesting and inspiring video. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into making your videos.👍👍
Cowabunga Major! Will try minimalist kit on the weekend. Thank you for the survival class. Stay safe mate. Greetings from Australia.
Great vid! Great kit. I’ll have to add a carpenter axe to my kit soon. Thx.🇺🇸👍
Excellent video. Always like watching your videos
Oh that venison that ran by would fill my freezer nicely :)
It’s good to have a good ax. Great video
I'm going back in your video list and this one, as usual, is a great, to the point, down and dirty instruction video!
Howdy. This was totally awesome of what you did with a minimum of 5 tools!
I love minimal kits, it’s easier on the brain.
Thanks Andrew! Always good informative content!
I’m really learning a lot you explain everything to make it simple to understand and that is great , Thank you for your Service to the great USA , and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us , all the best to you sir😊
Awesome video as always, my Sundays aren't complete without you and Cpl.Kelly!
Another fantastic survivalist video learned alot
Until I started watching your, Shawn, and Dave's channels I had never given too much thought about axe head style/design, despite growing up around them my entire life. Now I find myself seeing differences everywhere!
Hello 👋 Andrew, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this valuable information. I may be using these tips in two weeks In Eldorado County winter camp 🏕 out. All the best to you for your good health and safety. 🤗
hey Andrew I live way south pass the border were the winter is not harsh at all, but temps could drop down to the 20’s, I find more useful in my case a chopper rather than a hatchet maybe because machetes are widely use here and I feel more comfortable with that kind of tool something like the gerber golok or tops el chete, one thing I definitely will try is the pot, great videos, keep them coming!
Always looking forward to your uploads hooah!
Love the channel
Corporal sent me over here !
Andrew - big fan - I like the minimalist videos! Looking forward to the next one
Watching the snow fall in ohio as I watch this video , once again another great video. Much of what you teach is refresher for me, but I still think its great that you bring so much info to people in such a clear concise real life format. Thank you so much for your time and effort, as well as helping to secure our country.
Great video. Very good use of the 5 “C”s. Loved the resourcefulness. Thanks for sharing.
This is me, leaving a comment down below :)
Love that axe! Just what every bushcrafter needs. Thanks Andrew. I'll be watching more.SALUTE!
Andrew ... you are putting out some quality videos sir. Always enjoy your content and it's top notch... Stay safe and thanks ...
Outstanding survival ideas Andrew thank you very much, stay safe God bless you always
Keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Just found your channel I’m. Now subscribed looking forward to adding to my bush craft skills
I always learn so much from your videos less is more and working smarter not harder! keep up the good work!
Andrew thanks for keeping your videos professional and "Family friendly" I love sharing your content, I am very glad that I don't have to explain to my Royal Rangers ( a church cub scout group ) and my
5 yr. old granddaughter what the abbreviation easy "AF" stands for.. seriously cool..
😄
Thanks Andrew, great kit, for me I would need to add # 6, my knife.
Andrew, Another Awesome Video of survival in the Winter Bush..
Another great video, thanks for sharing.
Always appreciate your videos and you taking the time to share your knowledge with us. Always!
Excellent video! Thank you.
Always enjoy your videos. Great information for newcomers and great refresher or reinforcement from us more experienced. From a former Cav Scout vet from 35 yrs ago, thank you for serving and continuing everyone's knowledge base.
I have watched a bunch if survival and camping type videos. I have heard them say that not to breathe into your sleeping bag because of condensation inside the bag.
I learned alot from this video. Thank you for sharing your skills. You explain things well with no extra fluff. Perfect!
Damn brother you just keep making the coolest videos ever. I love learning new skills from an actual hero in uniform. Thank you so much for everything you teach all of us. And most of all I want to deeply tell you how much I appreciate your service in the military and serving everyone here in our beautiful country. God bless you sir. Thank you so much for everything you have done and everything you continue to do for all of your friends here on your channel.
OUTSTANDING PER USUAL THANKS MAJOR, RLTW
Great demo, Andrew! Thanks!
I just stumbled onto this channel, I like what this guys teaching. I give it a thumbs up and I will subscribe thanks for the video, I will check out other videos from your channel too.
Glad to see another video. Very informative as usual. Thank you for your service to this great country. HOOAH Scouts Out.
You are really awesome. I love your intro music.
Great content 🎯🎯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nicely done, I've said for years that in winter forest, I'd give up a knife for an small axe or long hatchet. Your five are the hatchet, cookpot, paracord, blanket and ferro rod. So where did the mule tape for the frame come from? 😁If you're not cheating, you're not trying.
Its all cordage🤘
@@modemode3663 Note my last sentence- I approve of cheating.
Great video Andrew thanks for sharing and great ideas!! 👍
Enjoyable watch, good run time
You have winter, and you have WINTER!😂 I get its winter in your area😊 Great video!
I finally know what the spikey trees are for on my property! Lol
Νice video once again! Greetings from Hellas!!
Another good one, thanks !!
Andrew, another good video. I’m trying to learn minimalist winter camping. I currently am doing “living history” camping as a French Canadian Coureur De Bois trapper/hunter on foot with no pack animals. Late 1700s thru early 1800s; fur trade era. Flintlock, flint and steel, wool blankets, tomahawk, corn boiler, and a couple of good knives.
At a winter rendezvous at Fort De Chartres, I went minimalist. Most bring wall tents, cots, and sleeping bags. Unfortunately, there are restrictions on what you can do on public property. Didn’t get enough ground insulation, fire restricted to certain areas, and my blankets, while wool, were too thin.
Result is I froze my ass off.🥶
I’m going to try this on private property soon where I can practice the techniques of the early woodsmen.
So, question. What blanket did you use?
It’s an alpaca warehouse queen size. I left a link in the video description if you want to check it out!
That sounds very interesting and educational.
Cool
There's another channel here, older gentleman who camps minimalist with early pioneer gear, clothes and all.
He had said in one of his videos to consider a 3 wool blanket minimum for Canadian winters, I'd have to agree.
@@JesusSaves86AB I think I have watched his videos. Good stuff.
Love the information. Always entertaining and educational. I'll be out there soon but I'm bringing some food with me.
Very useful info thanks for sharing.
Awesome video !! The best on youtube !!!!!!
Thank you Andrew.
Awesome tips Andrew. I've got that pot lol It works well and the lid/pan makes it multifunctional.
Nate
Everyone of your videos are the real deal, best of the best, Army of course, I always learn something from you….Ty for sharing
Great video with great skills atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍
A word about Axe/Hatchet / Tomahawk for winter use.
When temperatures remain below freezing over time the moisture in wood will freeze.
Trying to cut frozen wood with a knife isn't easy.
In my opinion.....Axe / Hatchet / Tomahawk is still King of the Woods no matter what season .
Have a way to re-sharpen , and always work on an improvised anvil when possible.
P.S.- Most of the little stuff that was cleared off the trees and limbs could have been hammered off with the poll.
