Agreed. Good instruction Major

One of the biggest things I like about your videos Major Andrew. I never get bored watching your videos, a lot of folks talk about what they are going to do, or about themselves, and what they are trying to sell, for at least the first five minutes or more. Always some good to know info, very usable, from start to finish. If folks would look in your archives, they could mix and match a kit that would suite pretty much any situation. I hope you never get too commercial on us. I don't mind someone trying to sell me something, just teach me something at the same time. Outstanding as always. Catching and eating squirrel on the spot! That's putting your money where your mouth is! Lots of folks talk about it! Lots of posers taking over YT. Thanks for keeping it real.

Still the best channel for survival, ty for all the great info

Excellent video, Andrew. A lot of great information. I especially like the hygiene advice concerning water purification and sterilizing metal tools from pathogens. I really like that knife you were using.

First time I have ever heard bushcrafters/survivalists speak about knife hygiene.

I really appreciated the inclusion of cleaning and preparing the squirrel, in this vid; and your discussion of keeping your knives & sheaths clean, burning off pathogens, as we do in the microbiology lab...just a quick swipe through a flame usually does the trick. Most other instructors rarely show these things, and your inclusion of this information is likely to help protect your students/viewers. Thank you!

Redundancy is the byword of survival Major.SUA SPONTE!🇺🇲

Excellent video. I like the fact you covered cleanliness of your tools and why.

U just rinse bacteria doesn't do anthing "pathogenic" it just shows up as required

You NEVER disappoint… Juggling my morning chores… Always include this channel… As I’m learning about survival… I’m preparing, like the little squirrels, for winter…. Firewood-check Garden produce- dehydration, canning (and sharing, of course😊) Harvest time. Busy… but, oh so rewarding… May God bless /lead us as we prepare for winter… And survival… ( And may God especially bless you and your family, Andrew, as you share this much needed knowledge 😍)

Bro, you are the most efficient instructor. No wasted oxygen or energy. Dave, that dude puts me to sleep LMAO. My wife is also laughing at your extra ammo, grenades, goggles, claymores, and tacticle referances on a bushcraft and survival channel. 😂😂👍🍺 love you my dude.

Firearms, bear bangers or firecrackers, flares, even "bear spray," can help to prevent or defuse wild animal encounters. Ruthless people require certain other measures. Been there, seen that. Soldiers like Andrew are accustomed to carrying particularly lethal items. Gas masks or other breathing apparatus might save people from severe smoke inhalation in case of wildfire. A large part of Alberta was smoky hell the past summer. Maui probably much worse. Complacency kills..

Us city boys really appreciate the tutorials on skinning & cooking animals ! Great vid

happy to see your channel is growing. every Sunday, I always waiting for you TWO to post. Corporal Corner and yours. both channels giving realistic and clear tutorial -- and it seems in the near future, we are going to be pushed back to rely on those skills again.

You're the best survival youtuber. Thank you for making videos ❤

Andrew you're the goods! Every week a top shelf tutorial. Well done sir, thank you.

Excellent video as always. You are an excellent teacher, videographer, and editor. Thanks for your hard work!

Funny how squirrels and grown rats look so much alike once they're cleaned.

Great video! Straight to the point and very informative. No worrying about what others do or comparing to them. You have obviously used and tried this info and now demonstrate for us what worked for you. Kind of like the old time NINJA, the BS died on the battlefield. Just bring home the good stuff! Keep making these great videos.

The complete training for every day survival on the way to granny's house! Lol

All instruction with no production! Not one minute wasted on bs filler talk. Thank you!

Looks like could wear a Helikon tex fanny pack with it too.

Finally and most importantly someone who actually show and tells you how to process game for when those MRE's etc have run out and you really need to fend for yourself. Also great actual demonstration of how to make your water safe to drink straight from the stream with the sanitisiing of the bottle top and threads. Thank you Sir for the info we actually do need.

Good info, great teacher !

Especial thanks for processing the squirrel, that is something I haven't done before.

Chicken of the tree. Outstanding.

Been awhile my friend , Hunting season is getting close ! Can’t wait for the season to begin , I’ve been squirrel hunting some waiting for dove and grouse Turkey, deer , that would be a perfect bag for that to vary compact ! Thanks for all your knowledge to pass on and for your service to the great USA ,

Great video. I've learned quite a lot from you in just the last 2 weeks. I appreciate it. Thanks for putting these out here, stay safe.🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

Simple, efficiency, no big oversized and overpriced knife (and branded material), direct to the point. 👏👏👏👏✌️👍 Best teaching video among the billion on the tube. Thanks a lot Sir !!

Great tip on disinfecting your tools. That is something I have always tried to be careful for myself. Little things like that can lead to big problems in the field. That squirrel looked outstanding! Great job as always brother.

Another great practical video from Andrew. Highly recommend to everyone.

I recommend checking out the Bergen backpack from Helikon Tex, a spacious backpack for expeditions 😉

Very few people ever show sanitizing of equipment. It's an important part of survival. Thank you.

Wow that's awesome bag very organized and useful tools thanks for the channel

My favorite go bag was a modern duffle bag reduced in length, a waterproof extension inside (much like the M56 combat butt pack has). Although this is only 1 sack/bag it holds all except "utility belt equipment" (knife first aid kit compass, ranger beads, canteen, etc.). If I feel like a "long walk" I put a wwii era pack board on it backwards. Then I can add canvas, extra line, long handle hatchet. I always have my " wobblie" folded at top so I can reach up and pull it down in miserable weather. My poncho is a old west type painted canvas big enough to cover a man and horses backside by my grandpa in 1923. So I use this as a quick shelter too. I use a lot of LC2 and old Korean war equipment these days.

Those canteen pouches can fit the stainless bottle mug and cover kit from self reliance outfitter . Big spout easy to clean and actually fits in canteen pouch with all the accessories provided in Dave's kit

Thanks for another great video. I was taught through 100 safety program to immediately got the squirrel and open the cavity so it will lose body heat and wash it in the creek if possible thank you for showing us to sterilize your tools. I did not know that I should have.😊

As it is relatively easy to start your camp fire with a lighter, I always start mine, and taught my sons the same thing, to always use the ferrocium rod and knife. This way you always stay in practice in case you don’t have that handy Bic or it runs out of fuel. Great video 👍👍

I carry an Esbit stove in one pouch of my canteen holder & treatment tablets & lighter in the other.

You're videos always provide great illustrations and examples of skills and techniques I can to go out and try to duplicate. Thanks for taking the time!

Andrew, you brought back some of the Intel I haven't heard in over 20 years. Thanks.

I fckn love your channel man, sincerely. Thank you🙏🏽🇺🇸💪🏽🤘🏽.

I'm getting flashbacks from briefings in the military from many orbits ago!! Love your presentations, all meat, no fluff!

Always a highlight of the day to watch one of these videos.

Outstanding video, thanks again Andrew.

I spent my twenty in with these 1 quarts with tablets and never heard of "bleeding the cap." I bet I learn one new piece of info every week. Thanks much sir.

Those of us without access to military "items" can use the extra space for more water, food and bulky clothing.

a family sized bag of sour patch kids is also an excellent bit of kit

By far, best survival and patrol video I’ve seen. U.S Army 1971.

Excellent skinned squirrel

I have watched this video numerous times and it never cease's to amaze me the amount of information that we can take from it with so little kit. Great video Andrew well done mate 👍🏻👍🏻

I found some surplus gear pouches I use. I use the M4 double mag pouch for my pruning shears, and my tent stakes. I have a Marine pop up flare pouch that I keep my folding saw in. I also got the folding E-Tool and canvas type bag, that also fits my Deer Skin gloves in. I MOLLE the pouches onto the outside of the pack, leaving the inside still empty for the clothing, shelter, etcetera.

Great Shelter Jess, I dig the old-school rig. I always get more joy from using my home modified malice pack than I get with my savotta gear. Something about that struggle when we were first starting out that appeals to me. Hope you kids are doing well.

Great video! Always instructive. Ranger on, Dude!

Thanks Andrew for another great video. You have taught me a lot of things about the outdoors. Thanks for your service to our country.

As always, thank you Andrew for a great and informative video

Another outstanding block of instruction! The best on KZread! AATW!!

Andrew, you are awesome, brother. I've been out since 2004, and the knowledge that you're giving (not in this video) is outstanding and real. Since I've been out, I have maintained the mind frame of survival and preparedness because I believe you have to stay ready, so you never have to get ready. Keep up the great videos, brother.

Major Andrew outstanding video sir 👍🇺🇸

Excellent video

Great video! Love the content!

Your training videos are outstanding!

Yup Andrew love your videos man

The Bushcraft cooking show with your host Andrew of Ranger Survival and Field Craft. Luv it!

Always a pleasure watching your videos ranger 👍👍

Thank you for another wonderful video. You remind me of my military years. They were the most rewarding time of my life

Once again great video. I really like the discussion format and the background of what a soldier would carry in his assault pack. Your style of presentation is professional and enjoyable to listen to. I wish more success.

Love this channel! Great usable info in every video. Thank you sir keep them coming!

Great instructions. It's great to see someone finally clean, cook and eat wild game. And include sanitation advice. Awesome brother. Semper Fi

Always look forward to your videos !

Love your videos; appreciate all the time and attention it takes to make them. Thank you!!!

I'm really loving these long form videos. I Slept in the woods last night in my snugpack SF bivy for the first time and it was good to go. I'm in humid hot Florida so bugs and wet weather are my biggest concerns... had to wear a headnet because the mosquitos wanted me badly. I couldn't imagine sleeping in the woods without that bivy bag and I'm also happy I don't have to carry a 5 pound tent with me anymore.

I don’t know how you do it once again you have manage to outdo yourself great job man keep them coming

Another excellent video with great content well presented. Thank you, Major!

Outstanding, as always! You always leave me better skilled.

Solid kit 👍

OUTSTANDING TUTORIAL Andrew!!

Hi Andrew, you do a great job making these videos and explaining everything precisely. Thanks a lot. 👍

Great demo for water treatment showing the canteen system and important chemical process for "bleeding the cap", wait time. Bivvy and bag is essential kit.

Great video! Keep ‘em coming! Thanks!

Definitely an awesome channel to watch and learn from. I attended SERE school in the Airforce so it's the type of survival that I continue my training in.

Hi Andrew, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos.

Love the videos always useful and practical

Well done!

Outstanding video and instruction. Hope nobody was triggered on the squirrel dressing. Having never done anything like that it seems to me water purification and food procurement and preparation has to be done right the first time. Fire and shelter can be fiddled with to achieve the desired result but food and water can have potentially catastrophic results if not done exactly right. So the info about checking the organs was useful beyond measure. Bravo Zulu on a well executed video.

Cheers for the updates Major.
