Wrap the candle in kitchen foil. Two reasons: 1) If it melts, it won't coat everything in the pot 2) Use the foil to prevent wax running down the candle. That will greatly extend your burn time. It can also be use as a windshield and/or reflector.

Proper clothing is the first level of survival . With winter on the way, you might branch into this area for viewers, Andrew. It's a topic many survival/bushcraft channels never talk about.

That mesh bag can also be affixed to a sturdy y-branch and used to catch minnows to use as bait for fishing. Great video.

My favorite multi tool is an old Leatherman super tool. The original version. My next favorite is a Flisa clone of the Leatherman wave.

Thank you, sir! Got to make one of these.

Thanks for again emphasizing the need to be able to pocket carry items in addition to the importance of having a kit. Thanks for the video

This is the year when these lessons will be necessary. 'Nuff said.

what size is that pot? I like the kit you've built. Handy to throw in a car or a go bag, or both.

Keep'em coming , Major !

I couldn’t help but notice a lot of field craft and survival people forget to mention that their nondairy powder creamer for coffee ☕️ is very flammable! I’d love to see a fire starter segment on this!

Great Video ! Thanks a lot ! Best wishes, Markus 🙋🏼‍♂️

Great Video. I've got Basically the Same Set Up. Love The MSR Seagull

Once again, an excellent review of a simple survival kit any day hiker can collect and carry-and right in time with the seasons change to wetter, darker days. Thanks for the refresh!

Outstanding kit thanks for the information job well done sir.

Enjoyed this review, Major. I’ve been a big advocate of these types of kits with my friends. The locking lid on this particular pot makes it very stable for transport in a pack or vehicle. Thank you!

Great kit, ty for sharing

Thanks for your clearness and Facts to the basic Equipment. >> always simple and clear! Best wishes from Germany. ☺️👍🏻 Es grüßt der Friedemann aus Barth 👍🏻🤠.

Thx Andrew, always appreciate your videos. Very helpful hints and techniques.

Thanks man appreciate your videos

It's handy to have an attached inventory list on my gear bags, i also build kits with all the basics from all my castoff gear, something i can toss someone if needed.

Strong suggestion: Small hygiene kit. One of those mini travel tooth brushes and paste. Small bar/bottle of soap.

Дякуємо за огляд вашого спорядження та варіанти його використання. Ваші поради актуальні. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦

Always appreciate your knowledge and the way you present the information. Thanks!

Great job on the video Andrew 👍👍👍

I carry the Buck 110. Another great informative video from Magor Andrew. ☘️😎👍

What a fantastic show and a great set up. Thanks mate.

Sweet video Andrew 📹. Like you said a locking lid is crucial. Anyways keep up the awesome work 👍

Thank you for another great video! Keep up the good work. Take care, and God bless.

Could you also wrap the handle of the fixed blade knife in para cord instead of having a rubberized grip? Thanks!

Love those videos ! On top of the knife and bic lighter, I edc : Fully charged phone, whistle and firesteel necklaces, fresnel lens and button compads

Awesome

Fantastic video

It’s easier to throw everything into a container 🫙 when you need to move. Build your bush pot kit and toss it into your pack or car. When you leave the vehicle/home, etc., just grab it and go. When you get to a resting location, you can load your pockets or reorganize gear. 🎒 as usual, another good video! Thanks Andrew 👍

Good video Andrew, thanks for sharing, God bless !

Thanks Andrew

Adapt improvise and overcome. You can with this. Thanks Andrew. Bravo Zulu

Love these videos! Always a wealth of good advice, to the point and no BS

Iv always carried both a Gerber MP600 and a SAK ranger grip 79, worth the extra weight. My mini multi tool style is a gerber (dime) it's awesome for how small it is.

Thanks Andrew, really appreciate these videos

I’ve been made fun of for the stuff I have in my pockets, but my a** has never been lost, cold or hungry in the woods. And my Swiss Army knife has saved my a** more times than a toilet seat.

Hello 👋 Andrew, a big thank you for sharing this informative video. Stay safe out there. 🤗

Top shelf video! Exactly what we started our young troops with. A decent container that will pasteurize or boil water, allows you to cook, and holds many small, important items. Knowing how to effectively use the kit contents puts you way ahead of the pack. When the Philippine DepEd (Department of Education) asked parents to send an emergency bag with their students to be kept at school, we went full-on with a backpack that would supply each child for more than 72 hours. Way too heavy for a hike. There was a similar small sub-kit to what was in this video in each child's bag. We have regular practice sessions around the BBQ pit and each of our brood knows exactly what to ditch when it is time to make the walk home or the GrasndMa's (Lola's) home in the opposite direction.

Thanks, Andrew, for another excellent video.

We want more Ranger survival and fieldcraft❤

Crossloading emergency kit into your pockets is a great idea. You may want to attach vital kit ( compass, knife) by lanyards, pref hi viz and/or safety pins. Make sure your sewing kit has a variety of needle sizes from fine to canvas/sail size.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Stanley products,does have a deluxe cooking pots,that are like the ones you were using for the video, instead of the one you showed ok,,Great job and much appreciated!, great video!!!.

I like to wrap a bandanna around the outside of my mess kits. Or, depending on the size of your pot, you could line the inside with a bandanna and put your survival kit inside, then tying the bandana up. You can’t have too many bandanna’s. Good selection of items.✌️🇺🇸

Excellent video Andrew, thanks.

Using a bush pot to carry survival supplies is a great idea. Bring along a zip lock type storage bag to hold those items. Carrying an extra water bottle that's made of plastic is a good idea as well. It's lightweight, and using that zip lock type bag, can carry small emergency survival items as well. The zip lock bag will allow you to carry items separately, and use the pot for boiling, and you can still use the bottle for water when needed.

Great content Andrew! The whole bushpot/canteen survival kits are really convenient and not spacious at all! Definitely going to make myself one...or two!

Awesome video! Thanks, Andrew!

Best kit i've seen so far. Nice!

Hey Andrew I really like your channel. I just received my 2 Mora Companion HD Carbon steel knives love them. I like the customizations you did so I copied you. I always wondered how whipping was done and I learned how from you. I bought some 550 cord and did it. I also bought some Ranger Bands from a company with that name. They have a set with green and yellow bands I got that one. It's a lot of fun to learn these skills and now that I have some 550 I'm going to work on my knot skills. Hoorah. Sorry that's the Marines. I have alot of friends and family in the Military and like I said I love your channel. Carry On!!

Thanks buddy 👊🏻🇺🇸

I really enjoy learning about your kits. I honestly believed that all service members would get the basic survival training that you have. I was mistaken. LOL. Still learning as much as I can after retirement!

Cross loading and levels of survival gear is super important.

Cheers Major. Another great idea for us survivalist. Could you take the kit and do a field test.? Cheers from Australia.

The net can very easily be adapted to become a fishing net.

Love the MSR seagull. Been using it for almost a decade. The Firebox Nano folding stove fits inside the 750ml version. I keep that, some various fire starting, solid fuel tabs, a knife, cooking oil, and some salt/pepper/garlic in there. Pretty much just grab it, add your choice of meat, and you got a nice hot meal in almost any condition.

Excellent presentation, clear and concise. With the way the world is now, this is all valuable information. Keep them coming!

As always amazing video! full to the lid (pun intended) of information and idea to work on. Thanks

I concur with you about preferring a multi tool to a Swiss Army knife. My experiences with three of them left me very disappointed. They came apart trying to do light work. A tourist trinket. My multi tools, on the other hand, continue to perform the jobs in camp. Reliably. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Awesome video Andrew. Line the pot with a bandana and put your items in the bandana and it gives an extra piece of cloth and will aid unloading the pan while keeping the items together. Great video and thanks for sharing. Stay safe man

Great job. Thanks for the tips.

That's awesome I'm going to have to buy me one and make me a kit out of it thank you for everything you do

I have to admit that about 2 years ago after watching a bunch of yours and others' survival videos I went out to Goodwill and bought a "survival crockpot," idea being that you set that up over a fire and then go collect food and water to throw in there. I ended up with this amazing Barilla spaghetti pot that I have, uh, used for making spaghetti.

Thank You For Beautiful Explaination Of This Video. God Bless You❤❤

Great ideas for innovative survival!

Sir, good morning, Skipper! I have been carrying this pot for some time as part of my Level 2 kit. The pot fits well inside my torso pack, which I can quickly switch around from front to back. I carry an Esbit stove conveniently inside. For snacks I like instant breakfast, hot chocolate, various nuts, organic fruit bars, and small boxes of raisins. I figure that this design of pot and lid will work especially well for cooking at higher altitudes as a kind of semi-pressure-cooker. The first time that I hiked at 10,000 feet of altitude on Mount Rainier I figured that I could really use some extra cooking efficiency, particularly for melting snow or purifying water. The little handle on the lid can be aligned in line as you have, or crossways. T Y again.

I watched one video of a cook pot kit where the person made a little inner liner out of a plastic bag and duct tape. This way the contents could all be taken out together and then put back in with no hassle. The liner could also be used as a container if needed.

Great kit Andrew. Lovin that TriStar.

Ranger survival, one of my favorites channels!! 😁👍🏽

I carry toothpicks They make excellent spears for any mice / voles you are able to recruit as bodyguards during your journeys

I love the MSR stowaway pot. Got it in 09 or 2010 and still use it. I’ll drift away from it trying to be minimalist. I keep coming back to the msr pot, asking myself what was I thinking. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Honestly I think we get bored And want to try something else.

I don't cross load- what I carry in my pockets is in my pockets. If I lose them, my redundant items are in my pot. This predate Kochanski- my grandfather taught me to do this 40 years ago. He used to put all his stuff in bags, then into socks, which he put into a british style mess kit. Along with a spoon.

I would put everything that was shown in the video into a kit except for the burn bandage infused with petroleum jelly,(unless I was only going to use it as a fire starter). Petroleum jelly can actually cause a burn to continue to cook and make it worse. Several years ago my mom burned her arm pretty badly and decided to treat it herself with petroleum jelly, which caused the 2nd degree burn to become a 3rd degree burn, destroying the nerve endings requiring her to need skin grafts.

Hi Andrew, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos, just a thought, have you tried to use a canteen cup with a heavy metal lid and a canteen pouch, carry a lightweight dry bag in your pocket, and use a leather belt to carry.just a thought, what do you think.

Excellent! Concise, informative and helpful.

I have one of those stowaways . Good piece of kit . I like that , and the German M31 for backpacking . If I want minimalist , I go for the Soviet VDV mess kit . I usually go out with the M31 though .

Excellent kit, and like that pot.

Well Mr. Andrew I like your content, no non-sense approach and to the point. I'm retired Army myself and wondered if you ever like to use tarred bank line. I love para cord myself but also use bank line #36 to be specific both braided and twisted. I just hate cutting up para cord but bank line does not bother me. Have you ever considered using mule tape too. Keep up the good work.

I have always kept a fire kit and brew kit in my mess kits.

I have the rebar also, love it. I like the bullion cube idea appreciate it sir

Good video! Only thing you should have mentioned about the millennium bars is that they have a five-year self life and are vacuum sealed! Also, the net bag might be used as a way to catch bait fish or crawdads!

Great video. Thanks for inspiration. Greetings from the Czech republic

I highly recommend everyone visit their local subway. They have redwine vinegar and olive oil packets. Makes cooking in the field easy and the oil is solid calories when there's nothing to cook

I love smash kits. Very good advice, but... Just a short mention of saving up buckets of gear that can be grabbed from. I call it my 'Kittery' and when stuff is put together for a specific task, it gets called a 'Bash-kit'. Because 'reasons' happen and that is when having a flame kit, first-aid, and some Mylar blankets is literally life saving. I have a snare kit that has been everywhere my backpack goes for at least decades. Same with rechargeable gear. If I see something for sale that looks useful, it goes to the Kittery buckets. My kittery defines extra abilities on the spot. If it ends up being trail barter for a hot meal or good companionship. Well spent to better most any situation. Not to mention. I feel prepared for the worst.

Where you got the jacket. I see it on so many channels.

Awesome video as per usual sir!

Nice one andrew thanks

Best channel on RU-vid in my opinion

Love the videos, tips and content, please keep them coming!

Thanks for sharing this Andrew. Always great info.💪💪💯🔱⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲

Andrew, I have see a few others that use the UK/ NZ / Aussie mess tins we call Dixies as their bush pots. These are a rectangular metal tin used for being served a hot meal in the field. These would slip into a field jacket pocket but the ability to collect & sterilise water along with other uses to cook & store items is something many forget. I have heard stories where people use these as improvised shovels too.

Great video as per Andrew ! #preppy 😊

Great stuff, as usual!

I would have about 6 good size nails in there to put in a stump or ground to put my pot on and put a fire cube under it

Great
