Even tho I'm an old man now, an only hunt in my retirement. I still look for the little nuggets of info that I can use in the woods, this vid was one of them. Thx for the vid Andy
Great Video ! You have a lot of pre-made kits... I have my Suunto clip on/button compass mounted on my NATO/Zulu watchband with an Automatic watch that is EMP proof and do not have to worry about over winding the watch ! The Doan Magnesium bar is the only one to have ! The Signal Mirror is high tech Lexan plastic and not glass... and the mirror is great for the girls to put on Make-up or Camo... tjl
i thought it was for the hire rank to bitch at them for having items in there cargo pockets, then if you cant have items in your cargo pockets but you need all this gear you got to carry a ruck sac then your treated like a boot and get yelled at more.
Good sir, please swap out the potato chip bag Mylar blanket for the 2 person SOL Heat Sheet. I slept in one on an unexpected night out,on the side of My Marcy in Northern NY. Please try one, in fact, if you send me a mailing address, I'll send you one. Keep up the good work JB
Sir, T Y 4 SAS PLAN, a good way to keep thoughts organized. I depend heavily on METT-TC similarly for necessary operations. I hate overloading trouser pockets, though. Too much thigh muscle. I like a special belt pouch. I can get by with a smaller diamond sharpener bar, a miniature multi tool (Bear Grylls) with pliers, saw, & tweezers, an orange XL kerchief, small Silva compass, short penlight, smaller tourniquets (2), mini-level, 9 feet of 110 paracord around the waist with clasp knife in front with a marlinspike for undoing knots, cough drops, 2 spare ammo for a final solution to capture & torture, plus the rest of your collection here. I am working on a way to legally carry morphine ampules as necessities. Throw in a micro headnet, repellent, and zinc oxide sunscreen.
It may be a dumb question, but multi tools are meant for field use. Why do they always have screw drivers on them? How many times have you needed to screw in or out something?
Thanks for the pocket carry videos you post. It's the least considered thing today, but still the most important. You'll always have your clothing with you, and you'll seldom be nekkid in a survival situation. If you are, you'll be needing heavenly intervention. Unless you are wearing your haversack or ruck or vest 24/7 you need pocket carried items. Thanks for the video and looking forward to many more
Always have it with you- I'm going to be experimenting this summer with compression tights that have a cell phone pockets, one on each leg. A 3x5 tin kit in one, and in the other a small ziplock with a space blanket, 50' of 95# paracord, whirlpack bag, a little flat pack duct tape and half a dozen Micropur tables. Roll the socks over the tights and wear them under pants. Most of us might need to order ones made for fatchicks, but... Moisture wicking is already helping with the nut sweat, and everyone says ticks can't bite through them. LIke summer grade long johns.

What would you put in a survival tin? Couple of water bags, few water sterilizing tablets, bankline, a lighter, fire extender and a small blade? Emphasis on adding capability or maximizing a few choice tools?
Don't understand the military's obsession with the old lensatic compass. As I understand it, this design does not include adjustable declination. An archaic design, best superseded by a Suunto MC-2 or Silva Ranger.
I love how you make sense of it all. It’s not just a pocket dump. You explain how each piece fits the puzzle of survivability. Thank you for time and all of the effort you put into these videos.
In high school, I figured out that while a purse might get forgotten/lost, my pants would be on me unless SHTF in a major enough way I wouldn't be able to cope alone. So my stuff's loaded pockets first, then belt pouch (Leatherman), then canteen & cover (on the belt too). Makes losing my kit much less likely.
Have you tried the fishing kit after it has been in that tape sachet? Fish can get finicky about that hook. Any irritation can cause them to avoid a hook.
You drop your ruck during a firefight, you better have some sort of gear in your pockets, you should not need to drop your pants and leave them behind.
Darn Andrew ... When the shtf, those of us that have been watching your and Shawn Kelly videos will have a better chance of survival than most. Thanks for caring enough, and taking the time to give us some of your knowledge. God bless you and yours, and may we never need it. God help US. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 TRUMP '24🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
The problem with orange is from the air in the fall it matches a lot of tree tops. So you must think of that before deploying it. Now blue is not a natural color in most places so me I would suggest two colors orange and blue a pick one that is more likely to get seen by aircraft.
Love your videos Andrew, but please for the love of God, start pronouncing "hearth" correctly. It's not "hear-th" it's just like the word "heart" except with a "th" sound at the end. Har-th.
