    Wrap the candle in kitchen foil. Two reasons: 1) If it melts, it won't coat everything in the pot 2) Use the foil to prevent wax running down the candle. That will greatly extend your burn time. It can also be use as a windshield and/or reflector.

    Indeed, repetition is the mother of skill. He has other videos, one with a Kohanski super shelter and big fire which looked entirely no-sleep and fire hazardish. It worked. Another with a grass debris shelter using a candle for exogenous heat. It worked. And I think a third with just five layers of warm clothing and a big fire. It worked. Andrew survives.

    Using a bush pot to carry survival supplies is a great idea. Bring along a zip lock type storage bag to hold those items. Carrying an extra water bottle that's made of plastic is a good idea as well. It's lightweight, and using that zip lock type bag, can carry small emergency survival items as well. The zip lock bag will allow you to carry items separately, and use the pot for boiling, and you can still use the bottle for water when needed.

They have a set with green and yellow bands I got that one. It's a lot of fun to learn these skills and now that I have some 550 I'm going to work on my knot skills. Hoorah. Sorry that's the Marines.

    Top shelf video! Exactly what we started our young troops with. A decent container that will pasteurize or boil water, allows you to cook, and holds many small, important items. Knowing how to effectively use the kit contents puts you way ahead of the pack. When the Philippine DepEd (Department of Education) asked parents to send an emergency bag with their students to be kept at school, we went full-on with a backpack that would supply each child for more than 72 hours. Way too heavy for a hike. There was a similar small sub-kit to what was in this video in each child's bag. We have regular practice sessions around the BBQ pit and each of our brood knows exactly what to ditch when it is time to make the walk home or the GrasndMa's (Lola's) home in the opposite direction.

    I prefer a pressure cooker, modified so you can easily snap on or off the handle/s. Yes, it weighs more, but you can add a moonshiner's coil and distill sea or swamp water, you can cook something you had to beat the buzzards off of in less than thirty minutes to include a pot-o-dried-beans, stop-cook-scoot...your food is in a sterile environment, so it will last all day or for days so long as you do not pop the seal. You can load a pressure cooker up with necessities plus a few extra rounds, lock the lid down, seal the vent tube, then bury it for future use (they are water/air tight), I would suggest burying many of them in different locations, that you plan on bugging out to, in case you have to bug-out of your original bug-out location. You can pick them up cheap at thrift stores, yard/estate sales, etc.. Remember, Granny knew best!

    Plus you can tear the corner of that Vaseline dressing and use the petrolatim for chapped lips. It works great. That dressing is what they used before they had “fancy chest seals” for gunshot wounds. Some ambulances are cheap and still provide just that for sucking chest wounds. How to use it is counterintuitive. OPEN PACKAGING… THROW AWAY GAUZE… TAKE GOOEY TIN FOIL PACKAGING… COVER WOUND… tape down three sides. People always think that you are supposed to use the actual petrolium gauze… wrong… it’s the foil… just the foil. With the petroleum on it so it becomes sticky. 👍🏻

Pretty much just grab it, add your choice of meat, and you got a nice hot meal in almost any condition.

    Hi Andrew, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos, just a thought, have you tried to use a canteen cup with a heavy metal lid and a canteen pouch, carry a lightweight dry bag in your pocket, and use a leather belt to carry.just a thought, what do you think.

    Awesome video Andrew. Line the pot with a bandana and put your items in the bandana and it gives an extra piece of cloth and will aid unloading the pan while keeping the items together. Great video and thanks for sharing. Stay safe man

    I have one of those stowaways . Good piece of kit . I like that , and the German M31 for backpacking . If I want minimalist , I go for the Soviet VDV mess kit . I usually go out with the M31 though .
