Andrew, I’m just an older lady who has zero survival skills, and hope to never need them…but I love your videos! I learn so much, and your presentation show and tell style is fantastic. Thanks for inspiring me! I live in the God-awful winter north, and your videos are helping me build a survival kit for my car. Cheers!

You may be a woman of a certain age but there is never anything wrong with that. Your willingness to learn shows that you have more than zero skills. Good fortune to you.

Hi Denise! Glad you are EDCing your car. I was stuck on a bus in heavy snow for 4+ hours, when my commute usually only took 20 mins. I recommend hat, gloves, jacket, extra socks, face warmer, flashlight/headlamp, blanket, extra water!, snacks, toilet paper, a box of unexpired hand warmers. Not that I advocate, but if you need to smoke or vape, have that too. Be careful of candles, remember they can be deadly in an enclosed space. A red flag or bandanna might also be good to mark your car from the outside, in case the snow depth is really deep - don’t want to get run over by the snow plow.

Well worth doing. We had flash flooding here in the South West UK yesterday and many villages suffered, you never know when you might have to either bug out in your car or leave it and make your way to safety or home on foot

A short, pithy video, packed with valuable info. No wasted words, and accompanied by crisp, confident motion. First-rate video, as usual. Thanks a million!

Another excellent video Andrew. What I especially like about yours compared to other KZreadrs is instead of just showing us your kit, you show and explain how to use everything. Keep up the good work! Cheers 🇨🇦

Yet another great instructional video from Andrew. No mess, no fuss. This is what you need. This is what you can use it for. Love these videos. Thank you sir.

Andrew...you are so knowledgable and such a great instructor . Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us!!! Take care -Robin

Andrew, that was by far one of the best, if not best, minimalist kits I've seen!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and thos information with us! Take care!

Love these down and dirty short videos!! That is a great minimalist kit! If room allows, maybe add a Mylar blanket and/or a trash bag. At least that would aid/add to the cover element! Congratulations on being an instructor at the Pathfinder School!🎉😊

Andrew, your videos are essential knowledge for anyone heading out to the woods. I love your presentation style, explaining some of the details of each item.

I really like your spin on needless suturing. I was a medic in the Air Force and taught by the chief surgeon at the hospital where I worked. Did a lot of suturing- mostly in the ER where I worked. The technique you show replaces the simple interrupted suture and the vertical mattress stitch. Very useful.

Always practical and informative. Thanks Andrew!

Oh my gosh! Perfect timing, sir! Literally yesterday, I purchased the Stainless Steel Bottle Cooking Kit!!!! Wonderful video as always, Andrew. Bless you!

Thank you Andrew for your continued easy to absorb instruction. Belated congrats on making major. Thank you for keeping us safe in these perilous times. Ooo ahh, Rangers lead the way.

Andrew, I hope you are accomplishing your goals. I am very familiar with Dave and his 10 Cs. Along with the rest of his class teachings. I've been into bushcraft since the cub scouts 4-5 decades ago. I appreciate you putting your spin on what works for you. U can use Dave's system, it 💯 works great. But everyone is different and and has aquired different skills. So teach, but don't be afraid to learn or teach alternative methods. New things are figured out everyday even though they are old. Keep up the great work!

I carry at least 10 taped, hardboard screws with me,they have very aggressive threads & are sharp as heck,for gigs,shelter construction,etc.Hence,the need for that phillips head on most Sak's,leathermans,sog's,etc.,at least 2 trashbags,1dedicated for transpiration,1 for shelter,bedding collection of duff,etc.Thank You Andrew for keeping our minds at the ready,Cheers!!

I like it. No fluff. No comedy. No wasted time. Just great info, succinctly provided. Subscribed.

I have the same experience. Definitely helped me add to my kit and confirms many of the things I've been carrying for years.

Short, sharp, to the point. Your MOI skills and editing are excellent. Good man.

Love this set. Simple, quality items.

Man, this skills are just beyond! Thank you for your knowledge.

Simple effective utility. Skills over frills for sure!

Like #29 - Caught you 5min after dropping this video. I always love reminders for the 5-10 Cs of survival!! Gonna have to grab one of the SRO Ranger Grip Swiss Army knives soon.

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Outstanding video Andrew. Good explanations n examples

Reminders are always good they keep you thinking

Great video, thank you for sharing and sparking all of the alternate ways to do things. Always being educated. Just another old Vet.

Dude , I love your videos , straight to the point, concise explanation ,and demonstration . Done!

The best presentation I've seen on the subject recently. Thanks as always for the kick ass schooling. Enjoy the beautiful weather this week!

Thanks Andrew, Always a pleasure to take in your videos. You are an EXCELLENT Instructor!!! Your ability to share knowledge in a direct concise manner is so Very refreshing. Contrary to Many You Tubers who seem to relish in the sound of their own voice, are searching for words or are just unable to get to the frickin point. Continued sucess on your journey and Thank you for taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge with us.

Hey Andrew, there's a better method for using the back of the saw for striking your ferro rod! Just a small shim to keep the saw from closing all the way so that the back edge is usable but the teeth of the saw are guarded by the handle. You can bear down on it harder and never worry about slipping.

@tjmatthews7474

Жыл бұрын

Or even better flip it over with the teeth down and hold the saw teeth down on a log or stump keeping it stationary and pulling the ferro rod across the spine of it. That way downward pressure keeps it open instead of making it want to close on your fingers.

genuine question: does leaving a magnetic compass in a steel cup, possibly in a car long term do any damage to the device? Also, how far away from a car or similar metallic should I be to get a good reading? Thanks ❤ 🇬🇧🇺🇸

I like the over-lap with you an Dave's teaching experience. ❤😎🥳🤠...thanks for making the video.

OUTSTANDING !! Please keep these vids coming !!

Andrew, appreciate all your videos over the years. I am a older guy, used to dream of situations where I would need 😂primitive survival skills, in war, plane crash, lost in the woods, etc.. I have matured and never had to use those skills. I now carry most of the 10 “C’s” but a Bic lighter in my pack, another in my pack with tinder tabs will ensure I have fire. I also carry a water filter, simple method to have drinking water if needed in the field. I am an advocate for modern survival skills as opposed to primitive survival. If prepared for whatever activity it is doubtful ‘survival skills’ will be needed.

I must admit, I bought the Ranger Grip 78 because of one of your earlier videos. I am glad I did, it's an excellent tool! Thanks for everything.

Thank you Sir for the video I appreciate the accuracy and use of application. Big fan of your channel. Keep up the awesome work!

Just ordered 2 of the SAK Ranger Grip pocket knives from The Knife Center. Swiss Army Knives are so versatile. Very imaginative having most of the 10 Cs contained in a cup. You do an excellent job. Always enjoy your videos.

Professional, concise, and well organized as usual. Thank you Ranger!

Thank you for the video Andrew. one of things i added to mine is a pair of corks on the ends on the bankline. A little extra storage space and the corks have other uses.

Thanks again Andrew. keep up the good work.

Nice job Ranger. Appreciate your style. Brief, to the point, good info without the fluff.

Great Video, I have used these same items in the field while hunting turkeys, and camping out , have it in my bag with first aid kit.

Love it! A great compliment your regular pack. If by chance you lose one you still have the other - provided they are kept separate. A few tweaks to the system tho: I'd suggest adding a tube of superglue. Very useful to close up lacerations with having to resort to sewing wounds. Some people might be adverse to being sewn up like a hole in your clothing. The needle can still be used to make a compass provided you know how and aint exactly concerned with accuracy. Getting back the medical side of things. If you have access to pine sap or resin, a couple of globs stuck between some broad leaves make for great bandages. They have a sealant as well as antiseptic properties. And such bandages can be stuffed into available void spaces. Hmm, what else? Oh yeah, keeping the goods safe from exposure. I suggest stuffing yer kit into a large Ziploc bag to keep things dry then stuffing it into yer container. Not only does it keep stuff dry, you have another container. If you think about it one of them Mylar survival shhets could probably get stuffed in there somewhere. Not much to be sure, but those aluminized sheets of plastic do come in handy. Not sure on the weight of this set up, I'm guessing less than 5 lbs. strapped on to yer belt. But better have it and not need it than need it and not have it. And as always I urge y'all to learn yer gear, learn your skills, and practice.

Top shelf video as always. Thanks Andrew, bravo.

Thank you!!! Another great video on the 10C’s. PFO has fantastic gear!

Totally brilliant guys. Excellent choice of gear for a minimalist survival kit. I have a small kit tin which I can grab in an emergency or if I'm going out in the woods. Keep up the good work guys. As they say "Be Prepared "

Nice man! Retired form Ft. Campbell a few years back. Getting back in the woods and loving your videos. Its so funny the things that come back to you from the service watching these. Keep it up.

Awesome! Thanks Andrew!

Another great video. I appreciate the presentation especially. Short and to the point. I cannot stand channels where the hosts sound like they're about to fall asleep. I love the 10 C's system. Thank you, Andrew. :)

Great kit, innovative and believable because of you. Thnx!

Actionable advise. I especially appreciate the fact that this kit is packed in a decent container. I believe that many "weekend Rambos" rely on finding a discarded plastic bottle and all will be well. When you need to get the job done, a kit such as this will serve you well.

Great video!

Excellent. Thank you.

Always on your game. Simple, but effective. Thanks. AL

Outstanding, thank you.

Thank you for another very very informative video!!!! Lol you know I swear there are only a couple KZread channels I watch where when I'm done I almost feel like I owe money for watching after!!!!! Lol keep up the great work bud!!!! God bless America 🇺🇸

Good video, Andrew. I like that you had lots of examples demonstrating all of those skills you can perform with each of the tools. I like how you attached the head lamp to your hat. That might have been pretty handy for me on those night navs. You make really nice videos. You crammed in a lot of content in a relatively short video. Nice job!

Great video as usual man. Thank you

Great information

Молодец! Подобрал все самое нужное для выживание. Очень компактный набор👍👍

Thanks Andrew!

Very educational Andrew great video expertly put across so as to understand and not boring down and dirty as you put it great videos Andrew keep em coming down and dirty thick and fast

You sir got a new sub. A fellow youtuber, I have lots to learn from you. I always carry most of the 5/10 C's. Thank you.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Great video. Thank you.

great video, super small out in the woods kit. wow. stay safe.

Greetings again, Skipper! As a companion to a sail needle, I carry some sleek dental floss, plus surgical needles, a scalpel, & dedicated suture thread. A bush-savvy Florence Nightingale with surgical expertise carrying a bear gun, & trained as a combat lifesaver, is my dream hiking partner in the deep North Woods. Never leave home without one. In the Sonora Desert, the tweezers in the Ranger Grip or my Officier Model can be the most valuable tool in the inventory, for dealing with annoying, fine cactus spines from the prickly pear that always seem to eventually catch you in the side & back. Swiss-quality Victorinox tools are great assets. A quality pen light with a spare battery is a good second light. Consider enough bank line to make hammocks. T Y, Sir!

Outstanding !!

Love your videos, they are very informative and brief and to the point.

Thank you andrew awesome video with lots of information Thank you !!

Happy to see I'm not the only one to prefer a headlamp. It is not the most stylish thing on earth but freeing a hand it is preferred every time.

I like this type of video. Just when I think I know most of the little tricks, you always show me something new. Thanx

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

That is genius ! Although I would put an emergency blanket in it to use as shelter and poncho to keep dry.... there is room , I tried it

Another excellent video. I look forward to getting that KZread notification every time you drop a vid!

Excellent as always! If you're going to carry a needle, carry upholstery thread - much thicker than regular thread and very sturdy. I love your explanations. If I ever get stuck in the woods, I'll be trying to remember what you do and recreate that. 👍 But I always carry some emergency gear, too. If I had to go with what was on my person, I'd have a ferro rod, a BIC lighter, Bigfoot Bushcraft fire starters, 2 birthday candles and my Morakniv Garberg Black Carbon (love that thing)!

Thanks again Andrew

Great video. Thanks again for sharing 🙏

I'm a big fan of the single use ponchos . They haven't saved my life but they do save the day at work , especially in cold weather .

I knew when I first started watching your channel that you would end up being an instructor at the Pathfinder school 😎. More great info my friend 🤠

Like the minimalist kit. Practical for day hikes/bike rides.

Excellent video, thank you for doing such a through job, seriously. I appreciate you sharing this knowledge with us. These are kits we can make and use if necessary.
