Brilliant indeed! I would like to have more of these emergency medical techniques as learned skills in place especially nowadays because of the uncertainty of things...not knowing when or even if an emergency medical team will be available...shortages of staff both in hospital and paramedics means we are the first responder so best to get these skills for ourselves and our loved ones...we need more of these videos...excellent job Andrew!
@@mnight207 The Gray Bearded Green Beret, who had extensive medical training, taught a different version of the external suture method. Worth looking at. I was in the Air Force and had several jobs in the medical field- Med/Surgical Ward 4 years, Emergency Department 8 years, Flight Surgeon's for 4 years which led to my training for a Medical Aircrew job aboard the C-9A Nightingale for 8 years. Accrued 3,000 flying hours performing missions all over the planet, was trained in surgical methods by the Chief Surgeon at Bergstrom AFB and participated in hundreds of operations. After retirement I went back to college to get an advanced degree which enabled me to teach advanced surgical procedures, pathophysiology and cardiology at the collegiate level mostly to nurses and medical personnel getting them certified to work in Emergency Departments. I did that for 12 years. I'm retired now.
I watch alot of bushcraft channels, this channel is by far my favorite. I dont know exactly what it is but Andrew seems to be able to teach his crafts in a way that makes it all "too easy" I have actually tried alot of his techniques and they do work. I have seen so many of his videos that every time I try one and am successful I always say "too easy" when I get done. thanks for this channel Andrew I have learned alot and I do put it into action
Mors Kochanski's channel "Karamat Wilderness Ways" is also top notch, but unfortunately Mors died in 2019, so the only new content is from his students. There's still a lot videos by Mors though and his students are legends as well.
Learned couple new things here. 1. Alcohol gel or sanitizer + salt.. become alcohol fuel. 2. External sutures... haven't seen that one before Good job n thanks
I'm proud to say that I did learn something today and that was the suture method you showed and how to extract fuel from hand sanitizer that I did not know and I'm proud to know it now. Thank you so much for the video I hope other people learn the methods that you showed as I believe we're going to need all of this in the near future. Thanks again for the video. Keep ye powder dry
I married a nurse, and we have suture kits in stock. That said, the improvised tape suture is the bomb! We appreciate that one! We also use parts from our gasifier twig stove to mix & match with spirit burners, solid fuel cubes, and gel alcohol.
Yes and you don't see as much of that on other bushcraft/survival channels. I think the belt saw is safer than an axe, as well as being lighter and lower profile, so I understand his preference for it. Not as fast to deploy, but with the cravat it can be used immediately to construct the bucksaw frame if needed.
Hi Andrew 😊 great video, tips on here I haven't seen before, making liquid fuel, and the suture strips , brilliant idea, I also like the way you made the duck tape sachet to hold small,items. Many thanks for your time and efforts, stay safe Major, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
I agree with eyes wide open, in that your teaching is one that is easy to follow along with. In my experience, it’s always been the most professional of instructors that were the most knowledgeable. Cheers to ya major.
I always appreciate the new, thoughtful tips and tricks you bring to your videos that nobody else is doing. I didn't know about the alcohol from hand sanitizer trick, and the external suture method is new to me as well. Thanks a bunch!
This is outstanding most people that produce survivor videos put the emphasis on gear. But skills are the most important. People may find themselves without gear but you can survive with knowledge and skills. Thanks for a great video.
Awsome hacks every time we get to learn something new from your videos sir And that's why we want your videos everyday Thanks for sharing valuable knowledge 🇮🇳🙏🕉🙏🇮🇳
I have watched many survival channels. You and Corporal's Corner are just top tier. The amount of "New" things I've seen on your channel that I haven't seen elsewhere just astonishes me. You're not somebody just copy/pasting what others have done. You have definitely given us the edge on knowledge.
4:24 could lead to the improvised suture for lacerations. We all do it, especially with minds preoccupied with land nav and mutant enemy trying to kill us, I remind myself to always cut away from a body part. Always. Thanks again Major!
Thanks Andrew, I always learn a bunch watching your videos. I like how easy, applicable and common elements for survival are best used; much of which seems high speed low drag.
I studied survival skills all my life and new material doesn't come along too often. Until now. I learned some new things. Great content , short and to the point!
Your video appeared in my feed today. It’s been 46 years since I operated. I so wish we’d have received some of this training in the 70’s. For most of us, it was being dropped off and picked up a few days later. “Good luck out there.” Other than ambush, concealment, observation, evasion and reporting were important but nothin g much else beside that.
I've been learning and, when I can practicing survival/bushcraft/country knowledge and skills, for at least 40 years. There are many good channels and styles, but this is is as concise, focused and consistently informative as information gets.
Great stuff brother. The getting to dry wood by sawing half through and the hitting a tree was great. Along with everything else, awesome, GOD BLESS and Semper Fi
One Mors Kohanski idea I liked was the leaf litter bag made from rip-stop material worn as a scarf around the neck. If this is too difficult to make why not a sleeping bag liner?Probably a lot warmer too.
The suture method is actually really clever if you think about it, since some people don't have the guts to actually stitch the wound by themselves and mess up in the process. Thanks Andrew
Really enjoy watching survival/bushcraft channels. Learning alot from them. Have you ever thought of using a waterproof match safe with crushed match heads in there too help boost a spark when using a fresno/magnifying glas? On my hiking boots there is a little tonque where i hang 5ft of 550 cord in a ball for odd work. Thank you for the great channel.
Mon ami Pierre, watch out for the explosive value of packed crushed match heads. Like gunpowder. Made my first zip gun as a kid with a bike spoke. Only made that mistake once.
I have to say the alcohol trick and the sutures were novel, also. I have seen a variation of the Gorilla tape suture where two strips of tape slightly longer than the laceration were used by folding over the edges closest to the wound which were then sutured together with needle and thread. It would be a bad day if you ran out of duct tape. Guys, don't go breaking your BCGs. Go to Wally World and buy a cheap pair of reading glasses. Nothing worse than a guy who can't see to hit what he is aiming at. Good tips all, Major. Thank you. The compass and line info was interesting as well.
I see that Leatherman P4 coffee stirring tool 👍 Thanks for demoing that excellent suture method. I'm sure it wasn't fun removing the tape from your legs 😲
I like the suture concept. I've used tape to pull wounds together before but never thought of "sewing" them like this. I enjoy your videos, they are much appreciated. Thanks.
Darn good video, Andrew. Lots of good tips. In my 1st aid kit, i keep steri strips. Work as well as stitches and take up less space. God bless you and yours.
Being an Emergency nurse ( ex RAF Regiment soldier) I was very impressed by the suture bit. I go hiking and wild camping, so appreciate this great tip. Just one question. Why the heck didn't you shave your leg before the demo man ?? I know about making the scenario authentic, but, der ????* Great posts man. I'm 62 now and it just goes to show, you're never too old to learn something new. Cheers.
Always great man. Clear and easily digestible. I’d love to see another video on first aid specifically if you should ever be so inclined. Keep up the good work.
🤣 "man strength" ...BAAHAAA HAAHA HA! I almost fell outta my chair laughing. You crack me up! Keep ON keepin on brother. 🏴☠ ...64 years old and never thought of the 'ol stuffed duct tape thing... kudos!
As an ex-military medic instructor I can appreciate the external suture method. Rather brilliant.
Yep. Less likely to introduce more foreign material into the wound. And we know Andrew always has his trusty cravat to put over that wound too.
Brilliant indeed! I would like to have more of these emergency medical techniques as learned skills in place especially nowadays because of the uncertainty of things...not knowing when or even if an emergency medical team will be available...shortages of staff both in hospital and paramedics means we are the first responder so best to get these skills for ourselves and our loved ones...we need more of these videos...excellent job Andrew!
Please sir, enlighten us of your medical experiences. I would love to know

Great hacks! Being a nurse I was blown away by the sutures hack. Outstanding! Thanks again Andrew.
agreed
Really cool, Major Andrew. Thank you, Sir!
I have never seen that duct tape suture hack, I'm a career AEMT in New Mexico. Thanks for the new knowledge!
Superior channel.
Such a simple video but full of valuable information, and no bullshits.
Thank you sir!
A really informative video, especially the sutures.
Thank you sir! Another great video. A few more things to put in the toolbox!
Best takeaway for me, using the insert for the solo stove over the burner! 💯
Outstanding as always, thank you Andrew
I love to watch your videos. As an ex-military man myself I always take something away from them. Keep up the good work

Another set of awesome ideas, makes me want to try and make more tricks like these.
Fantastic video, Andrew. Very useful techniques that I take good note of. Thank you, as always, for your professionalism and dedication. 👍😉
Stand for the alcohol stove looks like a modified sink strainer .
Outstanding post !
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was curious also.

That a great example why Rangers Lead The Way. Awesome video Sir.
Great idea with using the gaffa tape for storing small sharp items.
Remarkably densely packed with information. A lot of UA-camrs will make this into 10 videos!
I've been learning and, when I can practicing survival/bushcraft/country knowledge and skills, for at least 40 years. There are many good channels and styles, but this is is as concise, focused and consistently informative as information gets.
BCG's...... Haven't heard that since boot camp.....LOVE IT.
That wound closer was just Awesome 👏
So simple yet very effective..
Thanks 👍👍👍🙏🏻
As always, I'm impressed with the information. Explained well, no BS. Keep them coming.
Great stuff brother. The getting to dry wood by sawing half through and the hitting a tree was great. Along with everything else, awesome, GOD BLESS and Semper Fi
Great job. I especially liked the suturing demo. Thank you.
As always, great upload. short and to the point, yet loaded with great content!
External sutures is pretty slick . Never seen that technique before. Excellent content as usual.
Well Andrew, you've done it again, OUTSTANDING !!!!!!
One Mors Kohanski idea I liked was the leaf litter bag made from rip-stop material worn as a scarf around the neck. If this is too difficult to make why not a sleeping bag liner?Probably a lot warmer too.
As always very useful skills delivered in a very direct and efficient manner.
As always great idea's great instructions . One the best on the internet !!! Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our country !
I'm so amazed by your channel Ranger!! I learn something new every time!!!
I haven't heard BCG's in a long time 🤣🤣
That external suture kit was awesome, I hate needles, this is new technology. 👍🙏⚓️🇺🇲
Outstanding.
It’s rare that I come across something I haven’t seen before. This video is an exception.
Thanks!
🇺🇸
Excellent the suture method ! Thx for sharing !
Outstanding my friend! Real world improvisations everyone should know. Kudos.
The suture method is actually really clever if you think about it, since some people don't have the guts to actually stitch the wound by themselves and mess up in the process. Thanks Andrew
Love the external suture!❤️
Awesome content, lots of information without a bunch of meaningless babble. Love it!
10 totally Awesome tips !!Nicely done on demonstrating how too do them !!! Keep kicking ass on videos!!! Thanks you !!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
Outstanding Andrew! Thanks for sharing.
Liked the external suctures, never seen that before🤘
Never seen that suture method, very cool.
That’s gotta be the most clever idea I’ve seen for sticking a wound thanks for sharing sir.👍
Thank you for taking time to transfer your knowledge. I appreciate it very much
Excellent video Andrew!
Didn't know about using part of an antler as a bearing block AND tape as expedient sutures!!
Learn something everyday!!
Fantastic video. The duct tape stitches was brilliant. Several things have not seen before. Probably going to have to watch it again.
Excellent! Glad Corporal's Corner pointed me here!

@@peterbogart4531 i have made a kit like it stuffed with cotton balls too keep it stable when travelling havent had any issues.
Dude I’ve watched tons of outdoor and survival channels and you are at or near the top. Well done!
Outstanding you are becoming one of my favorites, thank you
Really like your videos. They are direct, to the point and clear on the topics you cover. Keep up the great work.

Good in field actually use of you kit and camp hacks.

Very informative as always Andy, awesome job 👏👏💪

Thank you sir for all you have done and all you continue to do... thank you for sharing your knowledge... stay safe frosty and free brother
genius level hacks. makes me think i need to start a log book with all the assembled hacks from various videos
Excellent video. The suture with tape is a great one. Saw a grey bearded vet use it on his channel. Good stuff. Have a great evening
The term BCG is still used?! Awesome!
Great vid, Andrew, as always. Thanks!
The Army gives them to you, they never promised fashion 🤣

Dude I actually used the hack where you use the rock to crush matches with a rock and use Ferro on the bottom of the match safe.
It really works well.
Thanks for these hacks. Much appreciated!!
Always great man. Clear and easily digestible. I’d love to see another video on first aid specifically if you should ever be so inclined. Keep up the good work.
Great video Andrew. Good information and techniques. Thanks for the video and for sharing your thoughts and experience with us.
