Learn 10 Beginner Bushcraft & Survival Skills! 

I like how casually you mention that the spindle can also be used for vampires, most "survival experts" don't even bother to mention them

I follow you from Egypt .Unfortunately, we do not have forests to live this experience, but one day I will visit your forests and go through this experience. With my regards, an Egyptian follower

Really liked the video! No muss, no fuss, no long drawn out stories. Just the complete instruction essentials. All one has to do is to pay attention. Very high-quality instruction. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Rangers lead the way my brother

Solid information! Beyond that, I hope everyone appreciates all the effort that goes into the prep, filming and editing of your videos, definitely a lot of work you put into your channel.

The best teacher is experience, each time you go out you learn more than any video can teach you. It's better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

I love these survival skill videos! I agree, that everyone should know these basic skills! Great job explaining! Experience is king! Everyone practice these!

Ready for today top shelf edification. Today is the first episode I’ve watched since the successful removal of my brain tumor. After thirteen years of surgeries, chemo, and radiation I am tumor free. Stitches out April 13. Time to fulfill a promise to myself now-sign up for courses at the Pathfinder school. Carpe Diem every one. 🤙

I think my favorite thing on this one was the bow saw. I never thought about carrying the blade separately and saving all that space

Really is a perishable skill set, but even though you cover trodden ground it refreshes to terminate-stay-resident in our harried minds. And good to see you teaching this to students as a working instructor. Top notch.

2:48 The dig stick you’re making is called an o’o in the Hawaiian language. It is usually 5’-7’ and made from a variety of hardwoods found in Hawai’i like wiliwili, koa, ‘iliahi (Hawaiian sandalwood), kukui (Hawaiian candlenut) and was so durable, due to fire hardening and keeping it oiled to prevent boring insects and humidity, that it was passed down from one generation to the next. That simple tool, the dig stick or o’o’, kept an entire race fed and flourished for 1000 to 1700 years.

All key skills for the troubled times we are living through. I have regular intel up on YT. Keep prepping guys 👍 🙏 ✝️

going to be teaching my kids these skills as a homeschool topic. fun times!

Great video as always!! Thanks Andrew! Sunday is not complete without a Ranger Survival video!

Andrew, I like how you teach bushcraft and survival skills and then turn it right back to a lesson on daily living, self motivation, etc. Very motivational, and encouraging.

Great video! You're one of the few I've seen that actually lashes right. People miss the frapping, and it's what makes the whole thing tight. Along with a backpack you might want to get into travois building. Hauls heavier loads, including injured people. Can be a problem in some types of terrain.

I appreciate the details you put in describing your actions. Very helpful, thanks

Great job, Andrew, Just to parrot what your other viewers have stated, ' Clear and concisely presented for all skill levels ', Thank you for your service and your time to instruct us on survival skills we might need one day.

Love these excellent skills, I never get enough of them, thanks Andrew!

Great job as usual, Andrew! You set the bar just a little higher with each video!

Another great class revision on survival. We never get tired of these knowledge no matter how many times we see it. Knowledge gain is learned when it's second nature. Any chance of doing a scenerio where you're searching for water & making shelter in an unfimiliar location.? Cheers Digger.!

Rather than Chaga, which has other uses, I personally use horse hoof fungus ( Fomes excavatus ) which really has none. This video as usual. Is on point. Keep it up.

I’m always impressed with your learned skills. Thank you for sharing.

Always excellent tips and skills andrew we appreciate everything you do thank you!!

I like how after we’re done with the chair and it’s time to go to bed, we use the same bipod to set up a shelter.👍👍👍

Simple, informative, and could mean the difference of life or death. Thank you, for passing on your knowledge, & time making these videos !

Outstanding as always, Sir. Your chair is a luxury version of the one I made a few months back on a short camp in some local woodland, mine was just a triangle of 3 sticks lashed together and leaned against a tree, with a folded German army sleeping mat (the ones that fold into a rectangle about 15 x 12 in) cushioning my backside, balanced on the lower crossbar. Not as comfortable as yours but still better than sitting on the ground. The square/shear lashings I learned 4 decades ago as a Boy Scout are invaluable for this type of construction, as we were not taught these in my time in the British Army.

Best survival bushcraft videos by far... Greetings from Spain. 👍

Excellent video! It's been said the more you know, the less you need to carry. Notwithstanding that advice, IMO a basic survival skill, and an essential one is Proper Prior Planning (P3) ... For example: P3 allows one to know more through study and practice, hopefully enough to get to P7. This video is a great way to hit that P3.

Mr Andrew...are you still working for the great Dav Canterbury at the pathfinder school ?? 1:57 ...How many pounds is your Pack ?? 9:37 ...I am shocked !! 🤯 LOL It is great to watch you do all this....All these KNOTS are my weakness in the bush..LOL , I wish there was 5-7 Most used KNOTS for survival. Your tips and bush tricks are always a welcome breath of fresh air. Thank you Again , for another outdoor inspiring video , sir. 😎👍

Outstanding content. Down and dirty and to the point. For the knowledge that you impart, thank you doesn't seem like enough. But, I have said it before, thank you for your time and effort in bringing us this knowledge.

Always a great class basic or advanced! Thanks Andrew. Bravo.

Hot damn! Loved that vid. Straight to the point, no scenic landscapes lingering on camera with wistful music accompaniment. No click-bait crap. Gonna get myself some Australian Chaga equivalent quick smart. Essential, light, carry material.

Enjoyed this thanks for sharing..i need a lot of string in my bug out back pack 😊😅

Great video. Thank you!

You get more professional with every video! Keep it up

Awesome presentation. Could follow everything easily. Love the plowpoint shelter. A super viable system.

Awesome video 📹! Andrew. Practice is the key 🔑!! Keep up the good work!

Pothanger without using a cord is Great. I Never have Seen before.❤❤

Awesome video Andrew. I wore my uncles POW bracelet for 25 yrs

Andrew, Another informative video !! Great additional information to the basics video... Thank you !!

These skills look simple while your watching someone else do them in the comfort of your home .. But need to be practiced if you want to be as slick & quick as this man ! Good stuff thanks.

Thank you for your hard work, really appreciate this information......

Great video! Having a high standard of perfection only ensures durability.

I love this channel

Outstanding! I always learn something from you. I’m incorporating a lot of the skills you demonstrate into my “living history” hobby.

Maj what IS URE go 2 knife that you use & carry everyday & would never leave it home. Great job brother

one of the best survival educational video I have seen these days.

Well done Andrew!

Those reproduction tinder boxes are nice. I have the steel one they used to offer years ago. It's fairly rusty now after nearly 40 years, and i wish I'd bought the brass one. I usually leave all the char in place in the box and set the tinder bundle on top after I've caught a spark and blow it there, then put the lid right back on to smother it. I also keep other material in the box that will char with every use of the tinder box. I do the same with the altoid boxes. After gardening, some of the old dried pithy stalks ( such as okra and collards) make good char and hold a spark Thanks for the tips and the video

Always enjoy your videos. Very informative, no nonsense, excellent content. In my opinion your one of the best bush craft channels out there. Please keep them coming

This is literally the first bushcraft video I'm watching ever and it is super helpful! I also like how you point out to take care of the environment. It's so important.

your talent with outdoor survival skills is very impressive!!

Pure and distilled knowledge, pay attention closely or miss important details.

Good morning brother ☕️ enjoying the episode with the family. The elementary or basics are so essential, and your method of teaching is clear and concise for all ages and skill levels. I really dig the use of the braided agave cordage, many stick to paracord and are hesitant to step outside of that “survival gear box”, but I appreciate how it emulates what you can do with a natural cordage. I also appreciate the bow saw demo - buck saws are great, but in an emergency situation it’s less calories and effort over a bushcrafting buck saw. Thank you for all you do to teach and share, and motivate fellow content creators. - Scottie, TLBSS&B California, USA 🇺🇸

Thanks so much. Enjoyed watching this with my boys. Very clear and informative. "The best video I've ever watched," said Master 7 years.

Excellent tutorial and greatly appreciated!

Awesome video Andrew.. very clever and ingenious survival and bushcraft skills. Keep up the great work!

Excellent! I use the bow saw quite a lot. I think it might be best to remove the saw blade when not in use as the sapling memory reduces the tention over time and weakens the saw

Love this, straight to the point, no messing!

Thanks Andrew.

Another really great video...

Great video , always learn something from them. Keep up the good work.👍🏻

I think you are the best survival instructor on youtube.

Awesome video. Rangers and SF have amazing ancillary skills to not only survive but continue to operate with minimal or no resupply and continue to take the fight to the enemy. This day and age when most have a break down over their cold latte.

Outstanding! Learned a couple new things here. You're the real deal, Andrew!

Thank you for the refresher course. This is notice I've seen for awhile almost 4 months.

Thank you a million times. Priceless knowledge and information. Thank you for everything in this video.

This guy is awesome

Wow Well done

Always informative! I watch for your videos every Sunday. Way to go, Major!

Thank you Andrew. I really enjoy your channel & will continue to support your quality work.

Thank you for your hard work, knowledge and wisdom.

GREAT Skillset to have and , Practice weekly , monthly , Great presentation , thnk You !

Thank you very much . Very useful information. Really appreciate the clear concise fire craft instruction !! Great video!

Your approach at teaching is exemplary! Clear, precise, and well thought out. In my humble opinion, you are the best teacher on RU-vid.

Fantastic work everytime Shaun. Very informative and useful methods of survival. Love your content bro

Very smart 😊

Loved the pot hanger. Hadn't seen that before. Thanks Andrew for all you do.

Very good video

As usual, a very informative and well made video. Thanks Andrew, take care brother

The content of the channel is very good, the inspiration for me that I like bushcraft and nature. A big hug brother from the bush.

Great job Ranger. Man the bow-drill brings back memories. RLTW!

Always good to brush on stuff , thx for your service to the country and outdoor community

Thanks Andrew

I live in Florida, not so much woods..but I watch your videos Constantly like at some point I'll need to survive in the woods hundreds of miles from here. Well done sir

Great video as always! Random question, I know there are a done of factors but with all of the practice you’ve had with a bow drill, how fast do you think you could get an ember going on average?

Thanks for sharing 👍

I learned a few things. Thanks! Subscribed.

Great . Thank you very much . Aligatou Gozaimasu . Apr. 9th 2023 Sun. 12:37 from Yokohama City Japan
