Ofcourse not... Hardening in fire is so much easier to do, and really full hardened. With dry wood, it is a nice way to start a fire though.. (search friction fire and you will see a lot of vids, using this,,,,, "friction hardening" techniques.

Every time I see a wooden weapon being made, I always remember my childhood. We would chase down the ice cream man and when we were done eating our popsicles, we would take the popsicle sticks and sharpen them into pokers on the sidewalk for fun and shenanigans. Or split them into fine needles and use a rubber band to shoot darts at each other :p You could also break off a sharp tip and shove them into the end of a plastic straw, using the same rubberband you could make a basic rocket that would travel great distances. Good times.

Hello 👋 As a female outdoor loving person, I must say that I really enjoy all of your survival video tips...from a male perception. Since you are putting together your $100. Kit, add a big package of disposable wipes. Fir us female survivors out there, we need this for basic hygiene, cleaning wounds etc. They are in a soft pkg which will compress down, and under $3. No one wants to survive without this . Wiping your privates with an unfamiliar bush can be avoided altogether just packing these with your necessary gear. Thank you for your service, we are Airforce Vets from Vietnam era and appreciate everything you're doing to help everyone succeed outdoors!

Great kit. Thanks for sharing. I definitely want to learn how to make a fishing net.

Outstanding, sir! I learned a few new things! I'll definitely be researching how to make a gill net!

Been part of the prep/survival world for the past few years and you're the f 1st I've seen make a net, outstanding!

I really appreciate the price cap type challenges. They make you think about using items with multiple uses and what items facilitate fabricating with natural materials. It's also good to work with limitations because essentially, that's what makes it a survival situation. The dollar stores are not going to have everything but they're a great place to fill a few gaps. You can get things like birthday cake candles, small tins, disposable table cloths, first aid items, tape, string, towels, hand sanitizer, foil and lots of other repursable items.

Store bought “survival kits” can’t compete with your “custom made real life kits”. You inspired me to make my own and have one in each vehicle I own. Keep it up Andrew.

Just 1 item missing from the 10 c's: sail needle (Canvas needle). Cool video!

Awesome Video and very educational! Alway's like all your videos. Blessings to you and your family and a very special thanks to you for serving our country. 👍

Another great segment, will use your survival kit for our weekend in the outback. As for sustenance we will have to seek & harvest what we can find, catch & cook. Really like the emergency shelter with those saplings. Awesome matey.! Instead of fishing line, we use pandanas or something similar to weave baskets & fish trap. As for self defense we have 3 different stick, a 5ft long for self dense, a 1ft throwing stick & a 6inch as a fighting stick. Learnt that from our grandfather. Cool.! Between you, Corporal Corner & David Canterbury we learned & achieved many unexpected situtation. Thank you matey. greetings from Australia.

@@wayneeddy3261 That is thinking out of the box with the multiple spears, too.

Great idea with the gill net, excellent snare setup. Another great item overlooked by many today, is a newspaper. A newspaper can be added underneath the clothing to provide wind block/ and a absorbent layer, especially placed over the core to keep heat in. Once the paper is wet, exchange it for a dry piece. Take the wet paper place it near the fire to dry out / warm up. I've used this trick many times when I haven't brought the appropriate kit along. Newspapers aren't as common as they once were, yet often times one can find free or nearly free real estate or thrift pages at a convenience store or similar. Besides the above suggestions, newsprint can be used as TP, and as a fire starter. If a newspaper can't be found, then find a Amazon box it can function in the same manner.

Are newspapers even sold anymore? All I ever see now is that cheap artificial material ad inserts in the mail. But that is a good idea in the city, you can use waste cardboard to do the same thing, especially to insulate concrete so you don't freeze in the winter. Learned that from watching homeless people.

I am going to have to learn that net making. That could come in handy. Great stuff.

Great video possibly one of your best. Never heard of the fire plough tip hardening before, makes sense! Thanks

Great video. Awesome information. The mora companion is a great knife for the money. I have several of them. I watched your video on attaching the paracord to the sheath. Thanks

Another great teaching aid video, thanks Andrew

Outstanding video Andrew! That gill net making is awesome! I always have something to take away from every video you do. Thanks again Andrew for sharing your skills.

Personally, I suggest swapping out your 550 cord for #36 tarred bank line, if you're mostly using it for construction of shelter and/or tools and snares. Quarter pound roll of 450 feet for ten dollars, 350lb breaking strength, still meltable and not as stretchy. It's also a bit toothier, and bypasses the possibility of buying fake 550 cord (which I've ran into more and more over the past five or so years.)

This kit reminds me to get lids for my G.I. canteen cups. I also miss having my old midwestern resource of abundant, tough hickory for tools and weapons. The ripe nuts are small and hard-shelled, but numerous and nutritious. The gillnet option is unsurpassed in providing protein from certain fishable waters. Aluminum foil and salt are important possible additions to this kit.

@wren7195

So many great uses for foil, it's (still mostly) dirt cheap and takes up practically no space, highly recommend it to folk in "survival" kits. *shakes her head* I'm in Ohio, lot more sub-urbanized than it was when I was little, so most of the hickories here are priceless. LOL Hickory nuts were my go-to slingshot ammo when I was a little bratty girl. That damn beetle has obliterated ALL of the ash trees here. It's a tragic nightmare, their dead shafts just everywhere, cloaked in vines desecrating their hardwood corpses. Take care Peter, wish you well

Nice showing the friction technique I know about it glad your sharing not to many people know that trick.

Great tutorial sir. Love your educational, knowledgeable videos. I learn alot. Much love from Boston, Massachusetts.

I appreciate the tips on making do with so little - like the gill net and the shemagh slingback carrying system. So much easier once you know how. Thanks.

I love how l always learn something new from every one of your videos. Please keep doing what you do best. I believe hundreds of people will remain alive in times of adversity. All because you took the time to share your knowledge freely. May you be blessed for your selflessness. Thank you.👍

I understand that these videos are for folks needing and wanting to learn techniques, but some of us, no doubt you as well Andrew, learned these things in our youth. Nothing like sharing them.

Good stuff Andrew especially with hardening the spear point very clever idea if you dont have a fire 😁

Good kit. One of the things I would do differently is fractionalize the kit by purchasing two or three Bic lighters for $5, shuck the ferro rod and emergency blanket giving you $25 left to spend on a larger, stronger tarp say for $15 and the rest on food. I'm thinking a quart size can of ravioli along with a military can opener (P51). Once the food is gone I can use the aluminum can for boiling water, cooking food I catch, char making without having to use the canteen cup. Any money left over I'd buy bug spray or more food.

I love these kind of videos. I always chuckle when I see a hobo real cause our grandparents showed us how to make them and we used them as kids. Have you checked out the Israeli paratrooper bag? Good bags at a good price.

Really liked the duct tape envelope and container. Awesome containers. Try some spring poles for fishing. Probably make a float with the tape. Well done Andrew

At home, I often spend time making shavings from sticks I cut from branches/logs. It's kind of my fun relaxing thing to do, along with cutting the wood in the first place.

This is probably one of the best survival focussed videos I've watched, in that it's not specifically geared towards survivalists or people with extensive survival knowledge and is presented in a clear & concise, no B.S manner. As someone with only very basic skills in this area, I learned several things and enjoyed the whole presentation. Thanks.

Always ingenious and informative. The fire plough tip hardening was new to me. I look forward to your videos every week!

Very helpful. Thank you Andrew.

Always learn something new watching your vids. Thanks!

Great video as usual. The only thing I would add is a way to chemically treat water. There are many situations where a fire creates too much danger even in a survival situation. We have had extremely dry weather in Southern Maine. Starting a fire could create a very large fire that you could lose your life in.

You sir are an artist. You take survival to a whole to another level. I learn something new every week, thank you for putting these tips out. Are you a S.E.R.E instructor?🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

Awesome!!

Excellent as always! I like the duct tape water container.

That gill net was amazing! I've never seen that in other bushcraft/survival videos.

I believe there are two groups. Group1. People will view a kit like this and proclaim, "I have nothing, NOTHING I tell you to work with here." There are no matches or butane lighter, no can opener, and not even a pop-top can of soup. Group 2. These folks have practiced building skills and stored knowledge for use when needed. Group 2 folks will rejoice in what their kit contains. In a small package, they have tools to build a shelter and start a survival fire to cook and sterilize water resources from the wild. With skill and some effort, they can replenish their food and water multiple times. I will choose group 2 any day. Thank you, Ranger, for what you do.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my basic cheap Mora knives, I have three, but I actually like a knife I bought at Walmart a little better for basic survival. The Camillus 9.5" with 4.75" fixed blade works great for me. Still enough blade to baton, already has a 90 spline for ferro rods, and comes sharp and is easy to resharpen. Grip feels better in my hand too, and Camillus used to make military survival knives for aircrew. $12.88 as of this posting at Wallyworld. Good kit though.

Good stuff as always Col.

As always, need to know content, best channel on KZread for learning survival. thanks Brother Awesome video.

Comfort is a side effect of survival.😎

I'm going to buy several of those items (headlamp, ferro rods, compass) you posted and share with kids. Lots of good ideas. What about bugs? Both walking around and under the blanket/tarp, it could be pretty miserable. What would you do w that kit for bugs?

I have my “to try” list for this week made out. I’ve made char cloth after watching one of your early videos, but have never made char wood. It’s reassuring to see all items in the video were accounted for in my kit-thanks to your videos. Cheers major.🤙

Nicely done bud keep them coming 👍

Great budget kit. Only thing I would do differently is substitute the cheap folding saw for a 21” bucksaw blade and then demonstrate how to create a bucksaw frame from a tree limb and para cord.

Lot good ideas. Thanks. The only other thing I think would be a small axe for bigger tree branches.

Great video, only thing I missed is how to sharpen your knife on a rock because eventually that knife will go dull.

Excellent info. Good job! Thanks 😊

I'll definitely need your skill to saw the wood at incredible spred!

Some really good ideas! Thank you, James.

Another awesome video 👍and knowing the same people this was very informative without a doubt 👍👏keep on rocking it 👊

Well done. You could've been half awake and hopped on one leg and still have met the challenge!

If you want to char wood in the field, take a can of soup or a can of soda with you. Use the can the same way in the video. Keep your cup clean.

Very good kit and choices. I especially like the gill net.
