      Indeed, repetition is the mother of skill. He has other videos, one with a Kohanski super shelter and big fire which looked entirely no-sleep and fire hazardish. It worked. Another with a grass debris shelter using a candle for exogenous heat. It worked. And I think a third with just five layers of warm clothing and a big fire. It worked. Andrew survives.

      flip flops. That's like swimming

    Wrap the candle in kitchen foil.
    Two reasons:
    1) If it melts, it won't coat everything in the pot
    2) Use the foil to prevent wax running down the candle. That will greatly extend your burn time.
    It can also be use as a windshield and/or reflector.

    Top shelf video! Exactly what we started our young troops with. A decent container that will pasteurize or boil water, allows you to cook, and holds many small, important items. Knowing how to effectively use the kit contents puts you way ahead of the pack. When the Philippine DepEd (Department of Education) asked parents to send an emergency bag with their students to be kept at school, we went full-on with a backpack that would supply each child for more than 72 hours. Way too heavy for a hike. There was a similar small sub-kit to what was in this video in each child's bag. We have regular practice sessions around the BBQ pit and each of our brood knows exactly what to ditch when it is time to make the walk home or the GrasndMa's (Lola's) home in the opposite direction.

I always wondered how whipping was done and I learned how from you. I bought some 550 cord and did it. I also bought some Ranger Bands from a company with that name. They have a set with green and yellow bands I got that one. It's a lot of fun to learn these skills and now that I have some 550 I'm going to work on my knot skills. Hoorah. Sorry that's the Marines. I have alot of friends and family in the Military and like I said I love your channel. Carry On!!

    Using a bush pot to carry survival supplies is a great idea. Bring along a zip lock type storage bag to hold those items.
    Carrying an extra water bottle that's made of plastic is a good idea as well. It's lightweight, and using that zip lock type bag, can carry small emergency survival items as well.
    The zip lock bag will allow you to carry items separately, and use the pot for boiling, and you can still use the bottle for water when needed.

    Sir, good morning, Skipper! I have been carrying this pot for some time as part of my Level 2 kit. The pot fits well inside my torso pack, which I can quickly switch around from front to back. I carry an Esbit stove conveniently inside. For snacks I like instant breakfast, hot chocolate, various nuts, organic fruit bars, and small boxes of raisins. I figure that this design of pot and lid will work especially well for cooking at higher altitudes as a kind of semi-pressure-cooker. The first time that I hiked at 10,000 feet of altitude on Mount Rainier I figured that I could really use some extra cooking efficiency, particularly for melting snow or purifying water. The little handle on the lid can be aligned in line as you have, or crossways. T Y again.

    I would put everything that was shown in the video into a kit except for the burn bandage infused with petroleum jelly,(unless I was only going to use it as a fire starter). Petroleum jelly can actually cause a burn to continue to cook and make it worse. Several years ago my mom burned her arm pretty badly and decided to treat it herself with petroleum jelly, which caused the 2nd degree burn to become a 3rd degree burn, destroying the nerve endings requiring her to need skin grafts.

    I love smash kits. Very good advice, but... Just a short mention of saving up buckets of gear that can be grabbed from. I call it my 'Kittery' and when stuff is put together for a specific task, it gets called a 'Bash-kit'. Because 'reasons' happen and that is when having a flame kit, first-aid, and some Mylar blankets is literally life saving. I have a snare kit that has been everywhere my backpack goes for at least decades. Same with rechargeable gear. If I see something for sale that looks useful, it goes to the Kittery buckets. My kittery defines extra abilities on the spot. If it ends up being trail barter for a hot meal or good companionship. Well spent to better most any situation. Not to mention. I feel prepared for the worst.

    Andrew, I have see a few others that use the UK/ NZ / Aussie mess tins we call Dixies as their bush pots. These are a rectangular metal tin used for being served a hot meal in the field. These would slip into a field jacket pocket but the ability to collect & sterilise water along with other uses to cook & store items is something many forget. I have heard stories where people use these as improvised shovels too.

      Back when these were standard issue they were not just used for being served meals in the field, that was by the way normally on the ranges or something like that. We normally used them to heat our rations which back then (pre mid 90s) were in tins not retort pouches. We put them in a mess tin filled with water and heated the contents...then we used the water for a brew or to wash and shave in the morning. The mess tin itself works as a little washbasin in the field.

      @@simonh6371 I was a weekend warrior & the hex stoves were standard use but a pain to get heating. I left just as Aus Cams came into be issue but we still used the black GP's until after I left. The retort pouchs are far better as is the replacement issue spoon. FREDS are still issued in the ration packs now.
