Military Go Pouch - Last Ditch Survival Kit! 

Always top shelf instruction. My brain tumor surgery is coming up 03/21/2023. Thirteenth anniversary of the day I first had the grand mal surgery. Doctors said I would likely never walk again, and would probably be dead by now. My apologies for being a chatty Kathy today everyone. Never let a diagnosis determine your future.🤙

You're the best instructor that I've seen . You show us ways without shoving it down our throats. Like being superior. You Sir , are top Tier , and I appreciate you. Love ya man

Love the tape sachet idea! I’m always messing around with large straws then melting the ends shut. This seems way quicker and more versatile. Plus you have extra tape! Always love your channel and your teaching style. Keep it up! Thanks! 👊

That's actually one of the best survival kits I've seen - not too small and gimmicky, but small enough for a cargo pocket with all the essentials - thanks for showing.

I keep a similar survival pouch in the console of my car. It's large enough to hold numerous items but small enough to fit in a pocket if I have to hoof it. Nice vid.

12-B in a psst life here. I'm in the construction biz these days, and in both the Army and my current vocation, tie wire is a great addition to an emergency kit for securing items or a quick repair. Tougher than zip ties and reusable, you can easily stash it in your current kit that you can pre cut in pieces or a 6 to 10 foot length. Needless to say it's uses are countless for a Combat Engineer or construction worker.

Thank you. This definitely gives me ideas for things to add to my pocket kit for hunting and hiking.

All I can say and all anyone should say is THANK YOU! Being Prepared is a way to save not only your life but to help others in times of need or disaster. Survival is not political. It is LIFE and Death! Rangers lead the way!

I love these videos

Strike Anywhere matches dipped in wax or in a match safe imo is the best option for matches. Waterproof, Stormproof, it's all useless if that striker gets wet or wears out. Which they do! Under good circumstances you'll wear out one striker on a single box but I bet most people who don't use them on a regular occasion will run out of striker before matches and that's not counting being under poor conditions or stress. The paper one's are terrible in damp conditions, when you need them most! You'll get a few fires but you'll have to be so very careful to make them all last in wet environments, you'll need a way to dry your hands to get more than a few uses out of a pack. Although I live in the wettest/foggiest place on Earth according to Guinness. So most others may not experience this problem as much but if it works here, it'll work everywhere.

So much great information here, so little fluff. Great teaching technique, especially when you show how it’s done afterwards. I learn so much from you.

Thank you as always, Andrew! Inspiring stuff!!

Outstanding as always, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Awesome just finished building a kit very similar to this. Gave me some great ideas to add to mine. Thanks for the video keep them coming!

Great bit of kit. Thanks!

Thanks for the information, I look forward to seeing your stuff on Sunday. Keep it coming!

I thoroughly enjoy the videos you put out. I especially appreciate the thought that goes into each one and the way you think about a lot of detail for every item

Great job Andrew! Appreciate you.

We do survice out of our pocket, even before pocket got invented. Looks like a standard carry when in the woods. Great kit for minimalist bushcrater. Cheers Major.

I’ve been using the same Spec-Ops pouch, in black, for years. It was my suburban walking possibles bag. Like your kits, emphasis on illumination, communication/signaling. I appreciate that unlike many others, you emphasize signaling as a priority in most scenarios. Then my walking pouch has first-aid items, blister kit, to keep me walking. And in case I couldn’t keep walking, a poncho or Mylar blanket for extra protection from the elements. Lastly, extra poop bags, which were handy for more than cleaning up after the dog.

The pouch holds a lot of kit. Especially like the striker paper affixed to the back of the signal mirror and the candle wax applied to the book of matches. 6 years as a private, huh. I never would have guessed. Just kidding. But that is how you made it sound. Your channel is one of the best. Always learning something new and and having past lessons reinforced. Keep on rockin', Major.

Always learn something from you Major, that fishing kit sewing kit is something I'm going to add to my gear! Thanks for sharing 🤠

One learns to think out of the box. Thank you, sir !

That’s amazing. I actually came up with a similar idea that has the 7 fundamentals of survival. You gave great additional advice

A lot of equipment in a small package. Good job Ranger!

Great little video. It never ceases to amaze me how much people can get into a small kit when it's well thought out. I particularly like this one. I'll be attaching a 2nd one to my kayak within days. Thanks!

I like that. No fluff, just good stuff! Thanks!

Thank you Andrew I learnt some new stuff o from this vid.

Most excellent, as always!

Thanks for the great ideas. I just added the fishing and sewing kits to my "last resort" pouches.

Another awesome video. Thank you for sharing.

Ty for sharing another great video

Rather than a spark wheel, couldn't you put a mini bic lighter in there, my .02. Wow you were enlisted for 6 yrs before you became an O whatever, never forget where you came from, an treat your troops with dignity, an jump in an help them when they need it. An I guarantee they will follow you to hell if need be. I know cause I have fond memories of some of the officers I served under, an would have gone to hell an back for them. One was a Lt. Col an another was a mustang El Capitan, solid, solid troops who earned my respect, along with a bunch of Sargents E-4 an above. Still feel that fire in my guts to this day about my time served, an would gladly do it again. Thx for the vid Major Andrew.

Great video and information. That seems like an endless pouch! A lot of useful things fit in it.

Great video 📹 Andrew. Practice is the key 🔑!!!

Excellent practical video Andrew. Thanks for sharing and stay prepared. Cheers from Alberta!

Thank you sir. Hearing you speak about the shopete and post exchange brought back many memories. HMC,USN,Ret. Love your content.

Great information. Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.

As a navy guy I always had a knife of some sort at all times

as always, yet another outstanding example of your exceptional instructional ability.

Who would believe you could get so much survival kit in that small pouch! The fishing and sewing kits in tape is such a clever idea! Thanks Andrew, another great post!

Thanks for the content. I always get good ideas and learn something new!

Had a scammer try to scam me the other day on a comment I posted on here just letting you know great video

Great review of some gear I've acquired from some of your previous videos. With some added history and explanation of why and how. Good answer for the pouch to keep everything at quick access. Can't wait to put this one together. Thanks again!

Thanks so much! Great ideas! The Tape Saches! Excellent!

Great information. Facts, not fluff. Direct and to the point without a lot of rambling or trying to sell anything. Really like the fishing/sewing sachets! Keep up the good work!

Awesome as always Andrew

Another great episode Andrew ! Thanks for all the information.

Thank you for your very instrctive videos and teachings ! Merci from Montreal !

Once again a top notch, ten plus video and instructions! The last ditch kit you put together is awesome! Thank you and keep the vids coming! USAF Vietnam Era Veteran from Indiana🇺🇸

Great kit. Thanks for posting! Lots of ideas here

so much knowledge & experience! thanks Sir!

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures and your wood lore

One of the best servival kits yet. Good job.

Another great video....thanks for the tips and tools that you show us in your videos...freedom for all people...

Thank you for sharing,these videos are most enjoyable and very educational.👍👍👍

I always learn from your video's. Very informative and you are a great instructor.

Very cool! Thanks.

Good stuff Col. I have a similar pouch that I may change around based on your recommendations

I've learned and applied many skills you have taught. You are the best teacher for survival! Because of you, I am a better Canadian outdoorsman!

Lots of really good ideas in here in definitely gonna use the duct tape stash idea. My only criticism is I would suggest smaller fish hooks. It's much easier to find tiny fish and a minnow skewer will keep you alive just fine. I generally keep salmon egg hooks in my kit. You could replace one of the hooks in your kit with 4 of those tiny hooks. Just my 2 cents from practical experience in my area.

Excellent information- God bless you.

The tape sachets idea. Genius. Thanks, Ray.

Thanks Andrew

Thank you Andrew for another excellent video..

Hi Andrew greetings from Australia, thank you for your time to make this video.

Its true, if you don't use it, you lose. I had completely forgotten the tape sachet idea, for small items. Thanks for the recall.⭐⭐⭐⭐

Awesome, thank you, helpful

Outstanding.👍💯🔥

Excellent video. Thanks!

Mr. Andrew. Another great movie. I enjoyed seeing what my survival mentor had prepared for us. Best regards and I wish you a lot of health .

Wow. Never have seen SUCH a squared-away survival kit..awesome and comprehensive with ZERO questionable stuff IMO. GREAT vid! Thanks..

This guys one of the few guys who actually knows wtf he's talking about on youtube. Good job man

This gives me ideas bout making a go pouch, thanks again Andrew

As always Andrew, another excellent instructional video.

Great kit...will be assembling a few. Thanks.

I really enjoy building little kits like this and giving them to my buddies. Gonna copy this one for fun! Thanks bro. Airborne!

Thanks for not mentioning just a bunch of branded products!

Hey man, I just discovered your content and it's really really good stuff. I'm binge watching old videos now.

The always very Expert and Professional Instructor for all students in survival, bushcrafts, military, and civillian settings. Thank you very much for all trainings.

Another excellent video! Thanks for the info Andrew

Great info, as always! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing brother.

I find many items for all sorts of kit at my local gun show. As always excellent material! Kudos Andrew.

Another excellent AF video sir ,keep up the outstanding work.

Hello 👋 Andrew, thank you for sharing this informative and vital information. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 🤗 👋

I was impressed, thanks bud. Nice pack

Nice! always excited to see what you post next.

those tape sachetsare a fantastic idea. incredibly practical and waterproof i imagine. adidng a couple to my everyday carry, and i look forward to giving the idea some thought to see what other contents might be practical to have on my person.

Thank you!

Very Helpful. Thank you.

Great information. Thanks!

Outstanding! I really appreciate you and what you do. I'm Vietnam era Seabee and had good training and continued with the camping/bushcraft/survival training but am learning much from you. Thank you very much.

Glad to hear that you are a "Maverick," Skipper! So was David Hackworth, so you are in great company. A thesis: a cohesive Army company can be based on an ideal maximum number of 148 Soldiers to maintain a "real community." Vladimir Peniakoff of "Popski's Private Army" in WWII kept his highly successful Commando unit to 120 troops. Likely 120 was the maximum number of ornery individuals he could keep in mind at one time. Voltaire, a philosopher, not Bonaparte, a soldier, was the one who said that wars are won by big battalions. Actually won by battalions built of cohesive companies. Some talk now of 15-Soldier squads. Might not as well have 8 buddy-pairs? We must choose the best tools for the job, in any case, though. Great Kit, sir!

Experience is the best teacher, each time to go out you learn what is needed for each situation. Better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it..

It's ironic I came across this video. More than half of the gear in your pouch I was showing my son and demonstrated how to use under different circumstances. Thanks for the video.

Outstanding!

Thank you.

Great video, Thank you sir.

Great input. I have to admit that you provide great training and structured advice. Prof's to you. Keep it up. Society needs this brother. : )
