Well done. I was a trauma nurse 30 yrs. and your med kit looks good. “Mosquito” tweezer is a must. Electrolytes and glucose is a smart addition. I may have added super glue and reader magnifying glasses but hey, good job.

I quit booze over 8 years ago but still followed along taking a swig from the canteen that stays on the nightstand .

Super glue is a must. If you use a kayak or canoe and have a hole, combine glue and charcoal and it turns rock hard. Great for any plastic repairs or tarps etc. Try it.

Can use baking soda as well to "activate " super glue and make it rock hard instantly..

ONE SUGGESTION: For the medical pouch: Add an inventory card with expiration dates for medical items that have a shelf life and/or are consumables. A quick check of the card will help one determine what is coming close to being expired or already is expired, or what one might want in the kit that was previously utilized and is no longer in the kit and needs to be replaced.

Can't really go by dates. They were literally just made up in the early days. The military started testing meds because they were getting ready to throw out insane amounts because the dates were getting close. Forget which category it was, but except for one group of less common meds, everything they tested went 5 years without issues, even though the dates were 2 years or less on the packages. Oh, same for canned food. The 2 years most have are ALSO made up. Even the feds admit canned goods stay good "indefinitely", and canned corn over 80 years old tested perfect. As did canned meat over 100 years old. And if it's survival your prepping for, then you need plenty of antibiotics. Get them at the pet store. Cheaper and no prescription needed.

Nice instructor pack setup Congratulations on the master instructor position

New beer at 4:47. I'm liking the drinking game aspect of this video lol.

What, no kitchen sink? Great kit. Thanks for sharing.

I like preparedness, but I also admire those who can do a lot with little. The guy that goes in with a lighter a multi-tool, a sleeping bag and a flaslight and gets everything done has all my respect. I tend to have all the equipment and backups but I wish I had more knowledge.

Great loadout, nice bag!!!

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

I like your emphasis on water.

I really like the multiple water containers, what will get you in trouble first is usually dehydration, if not cold conditions get you depending on the situation.

Thx Col. That's a lot of kit.

Awesome bag and collection of tools n medical supplies

Thank you as always, Andrew!!

Likely way too much for the actual situation of the class. Granted, as an instructor he is probably required to carry more than the average student.

The Pathfinders are lucky to have you. You're a great addition to their mammoth instructor roster💪

One thing to keep in mind for your med kit is that epipens are temperature sensitive. They can't go under 15 degrees C or over 30 degrees C. Otherwise it loses potency and will eventually do nothing at all.

Thanks for sharing

It's nice to see a fully loaded pack once in a while. Most people focus on being lightly loaded or they talk about minimal kits and you do in lots of your videos, but if I was camping or bugging out, I'd rather be well supplied and prepared since I don't think I'm going to be able to move all that fast. I like how you cover different subjects and provide different strategies and approaches. There are times when one might need to move fast and be quick and nimble, but some of us move slowly and it might be necessary to move slowly and with caution. I also think comfort helps one feel healthy and good food, good sleep, staying dry and so on will help us travel longer or allow us to spend more time outside.

Great video, thanks for sharing, stay safe!!!

I really appreciate the amount of information you lay out in a super digestible way. And, I have been fussing around trying to put a field EMS kit together. Here it is.Thank you Sir.

Excellent job Andrew! Would add a snake bite kit as well.AATW!

Awesome video as always Andrew. I was busy listening and watching to take swigs so ill watch again later to play the swig game.. im sure that water from my Geopress will be ok instead of alcoholic beverages... stay safe Mr. Lead Instructor..congrats

All well presented items in clear concise inventory format. The best channel there is always for survival and craft skills content. Thank you very much Sir.

Great video Andrew, an excellent loadout you have there. One tiny change I would make. I know Dave and all the pathfinder instructors use the Ranger Grip 78. I have the 79, identical except instead of the Phillips screwdriver it has the corkscrew. I think the corkscrew is more useful, it can hold other items, can unpick tight knots, can screw the knife into a stick to make a spear, and various other uses. Other than perfect.

Excellent video. Very informative and comprehensive.

I’ve been thinking about purchasing that pack for a couple of months. That’s a heck of a load out that can be carried into woods.

Hi Andrew 😊, nice comprehensive kit, I hope the course goes well for you and all the participants, if you have space throw in a pair of extra socks, wet feet can be miserable, and if you put them on at night they make a hell of a differance if your feet are cold, that goes as well for changing into some type of clean clothes to sleep in, following day you put your dirty gear back on, and suck it up,lol. Happy days, stay safe Major, best wishe's to all there, Stuart UK.

Poncho liner but no poncho? I prefer a small dome-style tent, not as stealthy perhaps but a good micro-climate and maybe a couple of seconds for reaction time in the middle of the night! Definitely need a tarp to cover the tent for heavy rains and a camo net will help conceal the tent! In bear country a hammock is also called a bear burrito for a reason! Also, for a light-weight early-warning system, a small spool of clear fishing line, 6 small metal bells (preferable black) and thumb tacks and paper clips for quite attachments to trees! And a firearm of course! Also good is a local map (topographical), extra socks, alcohol wipes, anti-sting wipes, and anti-biotic creams, and multi-vitamin/mineral supplements! Maybe a coat with a lot of pockets for warm if needed or to help with foraging! I carry a couple of all-metal mouse traps and a small fishing kit! Great video! Thank you!

Thank you sir. Outstanding content. Now excuse me,I have to go catch up on my drinking.

Thx Andrew, always appreciate your instruction videos. It helps me improving my kits 👍🏻✌🏻🙋🏻‍♂️

Well … I just happen to have a drink in my hand! Lucky me.

This instructor loadout is far more than a "survival kit" that anyone would happen to carry in the field . In wetter climates, the tarp should be last in , first out and may have to be carried wet. How do people manage wet tarps on wet days ?

Brother I was drunk before the end of video. Game of the day 1, Me-0. 😂. Another great video

Thanks brother 27 drinks plus 5 during intro lol. Good thing it was only JD I was drinking.

As always a great block of instruction with clear concise explanation of rationale. As an old US Navy vet with multiple Instructor Tours this is always appreciated. Now we just need to provide Terminal and Enabling Topical Guide Objectives! 😉 I do have one question, does the tarp have the tie outs attached per the method Dave lays out for using a 100’ hank of paracord. And noteworthy Bugs Bunny reference for “miscellaneous”!

0:16 Unexpected weather conditions would have my tent/tarp/stakes on top. Certainly kept foremost in mind would be keeping the contents of your rucksack/bag dry, which is already in a plastic liner.

It’s so funny about drinking game, I only learned about that while I was in the military and now hearing the words drinking game comes out of a military guy. Hahaha I was an 82nd Airborne 13F Forward Observer (Fister) yes, elbows deep

Awesome kit. What does it weigh? Im guessing 30 pounds. Your delivery of information is perfect !

Very nice. I think the load out you displayed would be advantageous to most anyone wanting to spend a few days in the woods. Hope you have a safe and successful class. Hooah!

I edc a little ferrorod, a wallet Fresnel lens and a Bic. In the BOB, I carry a peanut lighter and a matchcase full of stormproof matches. I carry a couple of the zip-type bottom water bags. I use a couple of Amazon bugnet "suites". $30 and 1/4 lb each, so that i have protection while I'm hiking or sitting around camp. They can also become warm longjohns ,when stuffed with either the two Amazon 1/2 lb each "cut-leaf camo nets ($30).

Thank you for showing us the load out and the companion first aid kit . It’s Top shelf equipment and loading . Awesome job

Also interested on the dry weight.

They’ve got the bush pot in a 1 Quart size. Outstanding

Add some peppermint candy to the med bag and cyanne pepper.😊

One of the best med kit I have seen but I would add a large bore needle for digging out slivers or for draining a blister if needed. Large bore needles are way better than a sewing needle for slivers. I learned that from a doctor.

The sheath on your pack axe is designed to go through a belt or strap to hold it on your person as you walk through the woods. Either on your waist belt, or through the cinch strap on your pack. The cinch strap is already covering your axehead, so alittle extra security is just a click away if you were so inclined.

Started this video now got to pause and run to the store lol I’m playing this game!!!

Nicely done Andrew, u have covered it all in this field kit.👍☘️😎

Love the drinking game lol lead the way ranger

The drinking game needs to be drink every time you see a pathfinder logo. Lol. Something that helped me a lot when teaching I’d suggest is the big rice base electrolyte powder’s. They have 20 grams of carbs in them if someone goes down it’s a pretty good chance one of those gets them back up. Tang works in a pinch too but the rice kind works really fast. My bag still has like 6 in it to this day.

Very good job.

Excellent class Andrew. Always informative and practical. Bravo.

Looks like you're geared up to go, well done once again.
