Man, the contents of a book condensed down to a less than seventeen (17) minute video. Top shelf content.

This guys military background is just so obvious, he really is an incredibly effective teacher/instructor. Direct, no fluff, no filler, just the info you need. One of my favourite non-UK bushcraft/outdoor skills channels.

unfortunately he is not so good at English. Andrew may kick my ass but he cant outspeak me. he still says hear thhhh , when it is HAR th. I| can cap on grunts speaking ability all day, but not their survivability. I'm just a regular guy but I bet I could show him at least one thing. edit: at least five survivalists say CHAMWHA, when it is shammy. I'm not proud, but I am educated.

Great video! 2:45 it's important to realize that while the melting point of polyester is 200 C or higher, polyester is sensitive to hot water above 60 C. Since boiling water can require 100 C at sea level, using a polyester poncho for rock boil or fire boil will release carboxyl groups into the water, esp above 80 C. The reaction is known as hydrolysis. Add the alkalinity from wood ashes and the process accelerates. First effect is to dramatically reduce the water resistance of the fabric, so poncho will have limited life, esp for rock boils. Ponchos that smell like vinegar or funk are undergoing hydrolysis and producing carboxylic acids and salts. Ethylene glycol is also produced but is odorless. It does render a sweet taste and if the water tastes sweet, it is toxic.

Thanks for that information, but in a survival situation dehydration will kill you long before the toxins will. Just eat some charcoal that will clear the toxins out.

@@peterbogart4531 the only effective way I know of removing trace ethylene glycol (and other organic materials) from water is with vacuum-boosted distillation. That's only convenient if you have apparatus on your vessel, lab, or workshop, and know how to operate it ... Not saying it's the only way, just the way I'm familiar with.

Once again, you have taken what other youtubers would take ten separate 15-minute video to say and condensed it into a single 17-minute masterclass. God bless you sir.

Some of the best direct , straight to the point, instruction.

I hope to see many more uses for poncho in the future. A poncho play list please. Love all that you do.

I love that Alpha tent. Haven't seen that in years. Thanks for bringing it back to life. Small diameter sticks, green of coarse, can be used if you don't have the tent poles. I recently made one out of a 8ftx10ft tarp ( camouflage of coarse ) , used 1/3 of the tarp for the floor and the rest to make the alpha tent, worked really well.

Haven't seen this Alpha tent before! Definitely going to try it! The only add-on to it would be to add cordage from each opposite corner after the poles have been inserted to make the dome shape, then the added cordage would be on the ground underneath you so that if a wind picks up it doesn't just fly off you. And with a couple of HD trash bags (filled with debris) under you, it should be a fairly dry bed! Thank you for this info, Ranger! Semper Fi!

A USGI poncho is the most useful piece of gear you can have. I have several and one goes everywhere I do Thanks for the video

Lots of deceptive marketing online from companies called "USGI industries" or similar will sell Chinese ponchos for a premium price and they all suck balls.

I'm glad to see my must-have (most versatile) piece of gear getting so much love lately. 👍👍

Again- awesome content and demonstration

Your demonstrations are outstanding Best survival chanel out there 👍

This video made me a little nostalgic. Reminded of my jungle training at JOTC in Ft. Sherman Panama with the 7th Special Forces group. You always put out good info and refreshes my mind . GREAT JOB SOLDIER!

This definitely meets the cool factor. Awesome!

Your great n Thank you for your service.

Rain ponchos are always recommended instead of rain gear. Great video to show people why a poncho is so versatile. Nicely done.

Got a Helikon poncho a couple years back and I haven't looked back yet. Kept me dry on hikes, acted as a hammock fly during storms, and I've used the float method for my gear, but unlike you being on KZread, i was alone in the woods so I stripped down to my skivvies.

A poncho is a great piece of equipment

Another great video where you explain so well what you can do in a vulnerable situation. Keep up the good work.

Excellent channel to learn survival skills as well as bushcrafts. This is strongly recommended channel to follow.

Excellent class Andrew, thanks.

Outstanding demonstrations of the poncho! Thanks Andrew, you always knock it out of the park!

Thank you Ranger! So great to come home from the city and then hear you explain the essentials in life.

These ponchos really are the best. Amazing video!

Awesome as usual Andrew quality video thanks

If I could double like this video I would for sure.

Absolutely outstanding.... I'm ex army, and the poncho was one of our most important and most carried pieces of kit, but some of these ways to use a poncho i never would have considered

Outstanding video

This is one of the best if not the best survival channels on KZread. My friends don't realize the wealth of information they can acquire watching KZread. By the way I'm sure the gals would love to see you naked going across the river but I think us guys can spare that situation, no offense but you know what I mean.

Great video. Very cool and useful stuff.

We do the brush raft, with our packs and all our gear, even MG's haha. not rifles tho, they stay on top with one hand on them just incase haha

Brilliant! Thank you, Andrew.

Outstanding as usual, Andrew.

Great advice, to collect and keep a couple extra tent poles. Especially if you can collect them from an older tent, or maybe Sun shade, One that might be ripped or worn out... But whose poles remain functional. Great advice.

Wow! Great stuff. You have accumulated some valuable knowledge through continuous training. Thanks for sharing it with us all!

I'm not a professional but I been reading books , I be seeing videos and I got my survival book bag ready for anything, thanks for the videos it really helps us a lot

Hard core! Another excellent video. The brush raft was totally new to me.

Much respect to you Major for teaching us how to adapt and overcome. Thank you for not whining and complaining about views like some KZreadrs do.

Great video. Great info.

There are reusable zip ties. I can re-use the common ones with a knife or something pointy but there is a product that makes it easy

In the 60s the army called it an Australian Poncho Raft. Nomenclature changes with the culture. This may have come from "The 10 Bushcraft Books" by Richard Graves. Mr. Graves was formerly the commanding officer of the Australian Jungle Survival & Rescue Detachment on active service with the USAAF (United States Army Air Force).

Another classic! What if you don't have a poncho or trash bag....I learned as a teenager in a Red Cross JLS class that you can use your pants as a flotation device. The pants are wet and you are in the water; knot both legs, zip the fly, balloon the pants as you close up the belt. Place your arms around the legs and head near the crotch, and then you can float or frog kick to shore. When the air leaks then repeat. Good stuff from boy's camp.

I have heard of that. But try ballooning the pants over your head in the air while you’re struggling in the water. I do not see that happening without drowning.

Been looking through all your videos and I'm loving them brilliant 👌

I'm going to have to go back and watch this video several times to try to get as much information as possible I can get into my pea brain. LOL 😂😂

Awesome video! The only additional point that I believe would be important is to not grab rocks by a water source. Any internal moisture can and will cause them to explode possibly leading to injuries.
