I’ve seen a lot of “survival kit” how to videos over the years. Apparently no one has ever had to use one for very long, or at least not so long that they dulled their cutting tools, because virtually no one ever mentions how necessary it might be to have a freaking sharpening stone of some sort as part of their basic kit.

You've had great training, but your method of transferring information is next to none on KZread. Thank you for your work, instruction and great video!

Right? I figured he had spent time as a green beret because he is so clear, considering and correct.

In the 60s we had "The Whole Earth Catalog." Now, we have Andrew. Truly, a man for all seasons.

82nd: My dad was 82nd during WW2 and my oldest brother was 82nd during Vietnam era. Also have a brother who was a Navy Seal, another as a Navy Hospital Corpsman, and me (Navy Aircraft engine mechanic/Helicopter crewman), all also served during Vietnam era. Have another brother who was a teacher, the world needs teachers too. Way to go Andrew, served and also a teacher. Enjoy your vids.

Wonderful instruction over the years Andrew. Last week I was in a thrift store. An intermediate bag of the MSS caught my eye. Scattered on the shelves I found 2 complete sets minus on compression bag. They had seperate price on each individual peice. Walked out of there having only spent $38.67. Being on a limited income this was an incredible Christmas in January. With the current temps in Kansas this old man is very happy to have one in my old pickup truck, just in case. My med. LC1 Alice is kitted for summer and my $24.99 thrift store 80 ltr Gregory pack is kitted for winter. Visit your thrift stores y'all.

@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft Another suggestion if you write a book, include QR codes that can be scanned with a phone and it takes you to a short video to further explain or show in greater detail what words just can't always convey. I have never seen a book have this, but man, I think that would be a huge plus for any book, which is now a book/video. Just a thought. Keep up the great work. I forgot to add too, the QR code can take you to your Amazon store or wherever to buy certain harder to find gear, like a chapter on survival kits, scan the code and it takes you to just the survival kit items and so forth.

Advice from personal experience. Keep the bandaids in a small baggie/similar to remain dry/clean if the items get dropped/blown by wind/storm. Another pill bottle may be able to contain the medical items. Also, if space available, medical kit include a surgery blade/xacto blade/utility knife blade and needle. Spare headlight batteries, 5 AAA will fit in a 35mm film bottle.

Brrrrr! Crazy cold weather here in Nebraska… hope everyone is well and getting prepared for 2024… Another great video, by my favorite instructor 😊 May God bless us ,one and all ,as we prepare mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually for whatever happens this year… Blessed be the name of the Lord 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I love your military survival kits!

I really like this dude. No bullshit. Easy to follow. I knew a guy who said, when you train, if you don't learn after the first time, you don't want to learn. He was a royal marine who went further.💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Rangers are tough bastards ❤

I agree, if you don’t learn at least one thing off of the videos then you aren’t listening. 👍🫡

A good signalling item that's already in the kit, is aluminium foil by using the most shiny side. Good one, Andy.🇬🇧

Good information in accordance to the manual. I would suggest to add batteries or rechargeable batteries, charging cable(s) and a power brick for your phone or headlamp, etc... All those items you mentioned from the time the manual was printed are viable but because of new modern equipment some items need to be switched out. The Leatherman signal has all the tools plus a ferro rod and whistle. One piece of fat wood in each level. Petzl head lamp and Core rechargeable battery last 30 days if used on low or medium light before needing to be charged again. Something to sharpen or hone your knife blade that is small and compact. Some #36 bank line to use and discard if need be. 550 is great for a ready made ridgeline but the inside cords are hard to work with and hard to keep a good knot. Take the time and fill the core of the 550 cord with #36 and #12 bank line gives you more strength and better cordage to use for fishing and for securing things. You can also get the Micro Ready Rope raw and put your #36 line on the spool and carry that in your different level kits. Its small/compact, has a blade, and has room for a small Bic lighter. Great video and information to get the brain thinking.

Ranger Joe's are great people to do business with , great Americans !

Very nice video! I always appreciate your attention to detail.

As usual continuous great knowledge

2 is 1 and 1 is none ! …great content well done

Hashtag #AwesomeAndrew! I swear, if it's the last thing I do I'm going to get that trending. Most of my friends/family are current/former Army Rangers, and Andrew nails it single every time. Solid dude.

For fishing line, I rarely ever see anybody using the power pro fishing line. I don’t know what that stuff is made out of but you can get an 80 pound test that’s as thin as this monofilament stuff that I usually see people having in their kits and you can do crazy stuff with it like braiding it to make a heavier gauge twine. I’ve been using that stuff for years and I absolutely love it. It’s great for fishing as well as many other applications.

Never disappoints. I've left the Corporal for the Major. Always great content and nothing to buy. No merch, no frills. This, IS OUTSTANDING. Thanks Andrew. Great info. 👍

Dang! Where were you with this information 50 years ago? My handbook does not have the levels and list of equipment like yours does. I think I still have my original one that I picked up in 1974. Thanks both for this information and the audio visuals. I may be 71 y/o but I still carry some of this stuff and adhere to the Boy Scout principle of "Be Prepared". RLTW

As always, LOVE the content. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.🙏🏽🤘🏽🇺🇲

1:00 hearing you explain your experience in Ranger school with the number of guy starting, finishing, and of the ones completed receiving their coveted Ranger Tab, is exactly the same as when I went through Ranger School in 1964. We started with about 150-175, roughly 70-80 completed, however maybe 40 of us received the Ranger tab. Those completing nine weeks of hell yet not qualifying for their Ranger Tab received a certificate which basically stated thanks for being here, bye. There were not do-overs, you either passed that phase successfully making it through another week, or they sent you back to your duty unit Ba-Bye. We were evaluated every day and night. As for night, we were extremely sleep deprived. Any missteps and the like, you were gone, no questions asked, no pleading for another attempt, you were gone. Nine week Ranger school was a living hell. In my right desk drawer is my Ranger Tab, Airborne tab along with the 101st patch as well. My Ranger and Airborne certificates are on my home office wall, two very special cherished pieces of paper. On the back of my vehicle are the stick-on 101st patch and a larger Ranger tab as well. Yes, sir I am 79+ years old and remain very proud of my Ranger accomplishments. Oh, during those nine weeks they guy they pared me with lost about twenty-five to thirty pounds. At graduation his wife did not recognize him.

Best instruction and info. on youtube. Thank you sir for your time and efforts. Just another curious old vet trying to keep up with the times.

Andrew ... First, thank you for your service. Second, thank for these videos. They are immensely informative and helpful.

I got to admit spray painting the fishing Bob is genius. Definitely well thought out video great job

Kind of surprised you don't have at least the L3 kit in a metal container. That way, the container itself can be multi-purpose.

Great video Andrew. One simple tip I will suggest to improve the medical portion of the kit is: if you purchase adhesive bandages (or band aids) for your medical kit, purchase the 'waterproof' bandages. Non waterproof bandages will easily come off a wound if they get wet.

I still have my brother's Ranger handbook he brought back from Korea in the early 1970s, a treasured keepsake along with his Ranger TAB.

Super great camo paint method. My Dad was in the 82nd in the 1960's. I have a photo of my 2 year old self on the Fort Bragg parade grounds. (I'm ex-USAF) I keep my woods gear in a medium Alice. Love your vids. Thxs!!

Well I'm pleased to say my EDC level 1 is on point even incorporating items from level 2 & 3. My level 2 & 3 kit are only missing a few key items to be 100% and I see that having double/extra of some items is actually encouraged! I'll definitely be watching this a few more times until my kit is complete! 😤 Thanks for this informative video.

Wooo! I’ve been waiting! Thanks Andrew!

Man Andrew, you sure have the certification to be doing this. Congratulations with your resume.

Great video!! The only thing that I would suggest adding, is some kind of small sharpening system to go in the level one system, especially if you have stainless blades. Rangers lead the way!!!

@@KiltPatrickyes. I have one. Coalcracker bushcraft offers one, 1/2 the size and easily just as good.

After completing our wild camp at a location near our home in the Philippines, the light went on today for our young troops. While watching this video, they were commenting on how well the combination of tools in these kits would work in the conditions they were in. They discussed what they wanted to keep and what they wanted to change in their personal kits. This is a sign of a great teacher when you stimulate the students to think. Top shelf work on this presentation. Thank you.

Love your video it reminds me of my dad who was in the military and taught us survival techniques, so that's why when I go day hiking in the woods, I take a mirror, emergency blanket, Ferro rod and knife for just in case situations

Firstly thanks for the great content. Your straight forward NON-whiny way of getting the info across is a breath of fresh air in such a small space as the bushcraft/survival community! Secondly thank you for not overtly shitting on other channels as some attempt to do. Looking forward to meeting and training with you (and Matt) in April for land nav and again in July for Advanced.

I really like the tier system. And its straight forward. Carry the things you need, nothing extra. Great video! Just subscribed.

Thank you

Outstanding! This kit-building reminds me of the P.A.C.E. method which I use when building a kit or a bag. Semper Fi Ranger 🇺🇸

When I was spraying camo paint on my gear I sprayed a base layer of the leaf color I wanted. I put actual leaves over that and sprayed the background. I did the same for pine needles. Just another method. Good video.

Thanks for the important information I am just an army combat veteran 1976-1978.

Thank you for your instructive video I enjoyed very much. I'm sure that many can pick up something useful from it. I would like to make a remark about the featured "Commando Chain Saw" from my own experience. I find that it takes a disproportionate time and energy expense in use. For the volume and mass, a couple of good wire saws could be taken. They cut much faster and easier. Or, if a bit more volume is allowed, and for the same weight, a small Silky-saw would be way better.

Outstanding AF brother.

Still have my Ranger handbook from Ft Benning, 82-04 outstanding AF video sir drive on Hooah!!

More good, strong avice. Thank you again 👍

Tanks for the information brother. Always continue to Lead The Way! Aahhoo! Each year our list changes slightly. Smaller, liter, tougher etc. A lot of great gear out there. 💥😎

Awesome video. This has started to make me rethink about how to make my survival kit for sure.

Kool nastalgia vid. My jungle kit finally deteriorated a couple years ago. Thx Col.

Talk about timing. Just yesterday, I bought three cans(one of each of the three colors) of the Krylon camo paint to do a camo paint job on my 10/22 takedown mares leg project. I would have never thought of that brilliant idea. Being I'm a semi truck driver, have a half dozen of those stashed throughout my tractor cab. I'll pick out the rattiest looking one and use it for this. Thanks for the idea.👍 😁I also have two Rangergrip 78's (standard red handle scales). One I use daily for food prep in my semi truck, and one I keep in my survival kit along with a Rangergrip 71 and Rangergrip 74. Along with two more Rangergrip 71's stashed back at the house, as those are one of the models Victorinox is discontinuing. You could say I have an unhealthy obsession with these Rangergrip SAKs.😬

Thanks for your weekly and continuous unconditional support and encouragement.

Thx. My Dad didnt want to b bothered with me so at age 6 he walked out n set up home at local bar. He worked his way up to 25 bottles beer day for 12 years. He retired 1975 till 1987. Mom was hateful told me not to talk to Dad or shed cut my throat while asleep. Love outdoor stuff thom was n Boy Scouts 1 or 2 years. Left because Scoutmaster n his son were crooks n stole. Im 70 now. Best time of my life was when i spent 2 summrrs on my cousins farm in mtn of WV met hermits, drank spring water so good it made your pecker hard. Learned a lot on his horse farm wish ide stayed😊

Benning. Thank you. It will always be Benning.

I'm glad that you mentioned the safety vest to use as a mesh stencil for doing camo because you can find those at the dollar store and places that have cheap little items. As a matter of fact I believe years ago I came across an article where somebody used one of those vests but probably a little better quality and by attaching velcro they were able to attach pouches to it. The other thing is I know that they sell those little waterproof boxes at Walmart but I picked a couple up of all places at Aldi's.

It's good to see a hatchet in there, It goes back to the roots of the Rangers. Robert Rodgers Rule Number Two :2. Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, sixty rounds powder and ball, and be ready to march at a minute's warning." But my favorite still has to be Rule One: "Don't forget Nothin'" It seldom gets more simple and more direct than that.

These are the best videos ive ever seen on youtube! I agree with the others write a book!

You always present information in a ways that If I had a situation going down then I could come here get what info needed and apply. Although I am trying to effect my own survival by and through practice. Now can you fix my failing relationship with my girlfriend😂😂😂

The only thing I can comment on is that I have exactly the same G-Shock watch. Total coincidence; I just liked it, but with my old eyes, I can't see anything on the face in the dark, even when pushing the backlight button. Without reading glasses, I'm SOL. But I did adapt something else I saw and attached a Suunto button compass to the band.
