    " _Everybody can do it, but not everybody is _*_able_*_ to do it_ " .
    I'd change that catch phrase. It is a nonsense phrase. You repeated it enough to both catch my attention and to inspire me to examine it as a logical syllogism. Truth is more important than slogans.
    Congratulations on earning that patch. Not everyone can do it. Of those who can, it sounds like only a small fraction do. It is an accomplishment for which you should be proud. I enjoyed your video. At no point did it waste my time or get off task. Your editing was great. Thank you for sharing your experience here. The Corporal was correct. You deserve a larger subscriber base. I'll do my part to share your videos with like-minded friends. Best of luck.

    Hello sir. I have been watching your videos since late last spring. I got into you because I was looking for survival videos that were high quality and taught by people who seem to know what they were doing. At the same time I got heavily into Dave Canterbury, and the Pathfinder School. Imagine my surprise when just recently I found out you were affiliated with them. It makes sense though since you teach the same quality material that they do. I thank you for your videos, but most importantly, I thank you so much for the service that you give to our country allowing me to watch these videos.

    Even tho you are more on the master level in this matter, you went there to get the patch as a student. It means a lot. The moment someone thinks he knows everything and doesn't need to do anything is the moment of failure. Congrats once again. Rangers lead the way!

    I'd like to add to what another person said about your videos. I like How you keep your Videos informative, Packed full of information as well as " Family Friendly " . How you handle yourself ( Both Your Language as well as your teaching ) is FANTASTIC. What you are teaching NEEDS to be taught and heard. THANK YOU SIR AND GOD BLESS.

    I've lived a minimalist, self reliant, solitary, off grid life for quite some years now. Hunted, fished, and forage for a majority of my food. I learn something new everyday.
    He who thinks he knows everything, can learn nothing.
    Great video and congratulations.

    Not sure how many years you have left to give Uncle Sam but I hope this is your retirement plan. You'd make an amazing instructor. There's an expression "Those that can, DO, those that can't, TEACH." I don't subscribe to it. Being able to do AND teach a skill is quite a thing and not everyone has it. You definitely have it!

    One less rattlesnake to worry about...
    My son -in -law killed a rattlesnake several years ago...saw it had a bulge , so they gutted it out..
    Guess what was inside that snake?
    About twelve or so transparent pouches-eggs !!! 😳So when he killed that one rattler... he actually killed thirteen at one time!!! Yay!!!
    ... (Pawnee grasslands of northeast Colorado)...
    Anyone who kills a rattlesnake is a hero in my eyes...
    That’s part of surviving... not getting got by a getter...
    I knew you’d have something special to share with us when you completed your course...
    😊
    Thanks...

    Survivalist = Snake Eaters. A true mathematical equation if there ever was one. Being a flyer in the Air Force our survival training was comprehensive but not so intense as yours. I would compare it to the Pathfinder intermediate course. Plus we had to do water suvival training which involved getting thrown into the middle of the Great Lakes-- no land in sight, with lifevests and an uninflated liferaft. After getting the liferaft inflated/occupied we took turns vectoring in Coast Guard helicopters to rescue us, getting in the basket and hoisted up, say hi to the pilots then get hoisted back into the water. Our motto was simple-- survival is easy- just don't die.

    You missed the boat with the Rattler. When I was 19 I killed one over 6 feet in length. Filleted the meat in strips about the same size and length as a # 2 wood pencil. Mom took a cast iron frying pan and fried the strips. Sweet meat , chewy and darn good. My girl friend came over and with the snake we had frog legs. ( I promised her a wild meal ) She liked the drumsticks with the little bones in them ( frog legs ). Really liked the thin strips of the white , sweet meat and wanted to know what it was . I said I would tell her in 2 weeks. 2 weeks later I told her and she turned GREEN.( later she got even with me , married me , so far for 56 years )
    By the way the center section of the snake skin became a hat band for my Stetson.

Wondered where you got off to these past 2 weeks. I bet the other folks in the area were beyond amazed at how you nonchalantly dispatched that deadly serpent. Like something you do every morning before you brush your teeth. How many rattles? Congratulations again on your accomplishment.

    With all the Politicians saying how they're going to take care of us, I'd like to see them try the beginners course and see how they'd survive. Me,, I want to try and do all three but over a period of time. Do the first and pass and then rest and recuperate for about 6 months or so till I felt ready for the Intermediate course, same down time and then the final Advanced course. Doing these is a good way to get a mind set on life. Thanks for a great and informative video. Take care and stay well and safe.

    Ego will kill you faster than ignorance. Knowing when to give up leadership if someone else is more capable, or knowing when to be taught and be open to it, is an ability not enough folks exercise.
    Sharing this info about the course will be most helpful to those with the desire to accomplish it, and expressing paradox of ability/doing will humble those who wish to take the advice.

    First and foremost congratulations on attaining the Advanced Level and earning your patch. I always enjoy watching and learning from these UA-cam channels. I realize the importance of having the necessary equipment/gear and for it to be of good quality. As an added topic of equipment/gear that seems to never be mentioned or neglected is the gear that one wears, hat, shirt jacket/coat pants, and good quality boots. I'd like to see your insights on those... Again congrats and keep it up.

    First... Thank you for your service to our country.
    I really like your channel. Totally informative, no B.S. one thing that I think should be stressed is the proper way to wear a backpack/rucksack. I've seen so many carried low on their back and compain about a sore back and legs after only a short mile or so. I, too, have served and taught my brothers, cousins, friends the importance of carrying necessary but minimal items. But also being very familiar with their use. I have also taught ''on-the-spot improvisation''. Learning these things can be the difference between coming home from a great adventure, or not at all. I instructed a friend at work on what to carry on a one day hunt. One day became three when a blizzard hit. He was only a mile and a half from home in a white-out and the extra few items he carried saved his life. When he told me what happened, I wait ''it's like insurance; good to have but hope you never need it.'' Thank you for a great channel. ''HOOAH''!

Utilize the 40% rule and never give up or let doubt come into your mind! BBQ snake over those hot coals ain't bad! A couple of bullion cubes and a hand full of rice would make a good snake soup! The hungry wolf will eat just about anything to survive! Stay frosty and Simper Fi!
