Best survival / outdoor channel on TY , HANDS DOWN! just straight knowledge, no crying about " the algorithm " or youtube " throttling views " !!! No shameless plugs for below par items , or trying to sell us viewers things for the whole video! JUST GREAT KNOWLEDGE!!! Rant over, but it is seriously what other outdoor creators seem to be doing these days hahah , keep doing your thing!! Wish I could like your videos multiple times 😂 💪👍

Hope one day this man writes a book! 🦅🇺🇲

You are a "Go" at this station, Ranger. Very well done. You should write a book, heavy with quality photos, on kits and gear.

Having watched you for a while, I actually have taken your old instructors advice. I always carry a knife or mulitool, a lighter, and a snack.

An amazingly well-done presentation, sir! If you would be so kind, I am sure most of us would love a long-form video of a hike where you show us some of the uses of your kit in situ. Where to place traps, fishing with the kit's contents, etc. We would love to hear more from your considerable acumen! My kit in the scouts always contained what my scoutmaster called "human condiments" - elemental salt tablets to replace electrolytes, sugar packets for cuts, and yellow mustard for burns.

Really enjoy your channel, great information. Something I think that could help a kit is a card to reference a few knots. Being that many people, myself for example, don't use the knots in your videos often enough to remember them when needed. A reference card would be useful to help get the most out of cordage by making the proper knots safer with less waste.

I love watching these types of videos, especially from RSaFC, to make sure my kits are up to snuff, see if Im missing anything. Yup, Im good. One thing I might add for EDC is belt gear. I have 3 leather belts that I cycle through and each one has a handcuff key, a bobby pin wrapped in a few feet of fine kevlar cord, a razor blade, and a small strong neo magnet that has a hole in the center (which is attached to one end of the kevlar cord) and this is situated and duct taped flat on the rear most inner part of the belt.

Tin foil cup was amazing idea ! Add a coffee filter !

Sir, just simply one of the best channels of its kind on this platform with loads of useful information well presented. You finally showed how to fashion that aluminum foil cup. That should be a ‘short’ like using a button compass, which I always viewed as a useless toy. The folding sewing and fishing kits are also great hacks. Thanks!!

Very complete. You just can't get vids like this. Thanks Major. Wife real impressed with this as well. I've had military training and both of us are Bushcrafters and always learn something new here with Andrew. Bravo Zulu!

You could do this same video but go over the items in a different order and I would still enjoy watching it. Thanks

Do yourself a favor and do NOT use a tin unless you want the contents to get wet and useless. I am 70+ and a Nam Vet + other conflicts. Years ago I had to learn this the hard way (I was stupid because I had to suffer more than one failure). I switched to a heavy duty waterproof container and have never looked back!!!

Nice. Gotta love the camo bandaids from the dollar tree. I've got those in my TAPS kit for the field

Down & Dirty video is always the best. Cheers for sharing mate.

Always been the best contents and educational values. Thank you very much, Sir.

This is an excellent reminder that useful survival gear need not be costly. But, after putting a mediocre knife in my kit and seeing how very limited it was, I rethought the need. My tin is about the same size as in the video, so I splurged and got an alox SAK Farmer. A real knife and saw of equal length, plus awl, screwdriver, can/bottle opener. For space inside the tin, I'd jettison the multitool and just slide a 6 in or smaller pair of water pump pliers under the ranger bands on the outside. Not only handy for snare wire, but if your survival situation is near machinery or civilization -- it's a tool that fits a range of nuts up to an inch plus handleless water spigots.

That’s a great kit! I have to make one myself! Thanks for sharing another great video!😊

Drew, I dig how you are constantly endeavoring to improve your kit..

Hi Andrew, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺 thank you for your time to make these videos available,

Another awesome video!! Definitely a few ideas to add to my tin kit!!

Wow!!! So much information… Lots of review from some of your previous videos ( I’m a loyal follower) Neat idea for the foil~ I learned how to make paper cups when I was in school… great to use that info in a survival setting- yay😁 Rubber bands are always a must for us ladies with long hair… 😊 Happy saint Patrick’s day Andrew, and fellow subscribers😊

Foliage Green is the bane of the effectively camouflaged Paratrooper

Good morning from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and equipment

Very good video, thank you for the instructions. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷

Superb kit, and very clever ideas for all the items! Thank you sir👍

Overall a bunch of useful tools in your kit - thanks for showing. Four items though I consider a waste of space. Most realistic survival situations get solved within 72 hours, so snares, snare-wire, fishing-kit and broadhead are ridiculous to carry, take some bullion-cubes instead to replenish your minerals after a shelter build or long hike with lots of sweating. More tinder/flame-extenders and some charcloth in a ziploc-bag, if your first fire has to be started with the fresnel lens. I don't know, why so many Americans are talking about survival and focus so much on food and snacks, which IMHO are more related to bush-camping and military SERE scenarios. Most of us are considered overweight, we can easily survive two weeks without food, even in wintertime. Against feeling hungry an 800ml pot of hot water in the morning and in the evening helps (according to Mors Kochanski). Might be a concern for people, that are suffering from diabetes.

Know anyone who plays guitar? Use old strings for traps, they come in different guages and the thinner 8's and 9's are perfect and very strong.

What pouch is the Leatherman surge in could you give us a demo on the rat trap? I like the sewing and fishing kit

For your cordage, have you ever looked at tarred bank line? I subscribe to another RU-vid channel, corporals corner and he used to advocate for paracord, but found that number 36 bank line takes up 1/3 of the space and has a breaking strength of over 300 lb.

Always helpful ideas, thank you, Major!👍

I love all if Ranger Survival and Field Craft's videos. I'm trying to get the algorithm to post new videos on my home page, hope this works.

Hey ! I bought some of that " Crappy ACU " 550 and like it . #itspritty

Wow, that’s the best kit i’ve seen so far…. I like that everything are prepared, you can use it right away 👍 i would have added an emergency blanket but i understand that it would not fit in that tin 😅

Now that the Leatherman Squirt has been discontinued what do you recommend as replacement?

putting a 25-30cm nylon or flourocarbon with a loop on each hook make those hooks MUCH easier to use if injured, cold or just bad light conditions. only downside is slightly more difficult to store (I put mine in paper folded to tiny envelopes that I dip in paraffin wax to waterproof. second, one or two of the fishingflies, preferably small ones #12 or even #14, they can catch smaller fish that you can either eat or use as bait third would be one or two larger hooks with wire leads to be set over night to possibly catch something. like a pike, burbot, catfish...

Thanks Andrew, you did give me some ideas how to modify my kit, appreciate this video

@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft maybe I missed it but can you identify the tin size and maybe a source?

Sir, T Y again! One possible addition is a little 11/2 by 3/8 inch long tube level. Useful for quickly building level beds & locating shelters that drain of water. Also possible to use for estimating vertical angles of potential landing strips. Super Cubs, for example, can land well on surprisingly steep, cleared landing slopes. Beware of soft tundra, though. Also, taking off from a tundra strip with a Cub is tricky. Firm gravel hill strips (of adequate width) are much better. Been there, seen that. Helps a lot if stranded folk can communicate accurate landing slope estimates to rescue aircraft,. Helos have clearing diameter requirements as well as slope & surrounding vegetation height limits. Now is the time to learn the geometry.

Awesome video! Thanks Andrew!

Always a pleasure and lesson watching your videos ty

Great ideas, especially the arrowhead. I never thought that way. Thanks.

Outstanding video and value

Liked the paddle boat. What a great fun way to introduce children to survival training.

Thanks ❣️

1 st ! Good Morning. TAKE CARE..

Gostei do copo de papel alumínio

Thanks for the information and for the video

Great as always. 1 thing though I was thinking about the whole time I was watching this: You need on of them small pencils, like what you get to keep your golf score at the miniature golf place. Why do you need a pencil, something to write with? Im sure you dont think its anything important now, but its REALLY important later when you need it.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Thanks Andrew. Nice setup.

I know you probably get a lot of crap over these little kits, mostly folks who have not watched all of your videos like I have lol. Most could not survive with one of these, you are one in a million young man. You can play on my team any time! My favorite videos are the ones where you take your little kits, and a shelter of some sort down by the river or lake, and thrive. Heck! I'm betting you can do it with just chewing gum, and what ever you can find out there. ( not joking )

Always had 8 to 10 snare wires in my kit. 4 plastic cups 32 piece multi sized fish hooks And line - notes of area with type of fish size of hook And mapped areas 3 tree taps (Spiked tubes) 3 types of fire making And a water filter with badder/tablets My gut hook knife 2 razor blades My regions wild edible booklet (Too lazy to learn more than the 30 i know) ..I have another layer of heavier items that also stays in the truck ..Axe, sharpening stone heavier clothing/rain wear Advanced first aid kit Tourniquet, Suture kit, Hemostatic gauze. One of my biggest weaknesses was knowing first aid I took a few red cross first aid / CPR + courses And suture emergency training Really good information for someone alone Or in pairs middle of no where

Well done for showing people how to make the cup from tin foil, so many times I have seen people put a tiny scrap of foil in a tin that would be useless and had to tell them you need a much bigger sheet (like you showed) in order to get a cup that is viable to use on a fire to boil water. You always give no nonsense advice and anyone with some experience can top up, likewise newbies can really gain some great knowledge. Thank you for posting this video

I carried an Altoids survival tin built around a Ritter RSK Mk5 on several deployments to SWA, it easily fit into a cargo pocket. Never used the knife but its Micro-Light came in handy during unplanned power outages and pre-threaded needle used to sew up gashes in my 5.11's.

A verry good Video... as usually... and yes... you should write a book! Greetings from Germany Chris

Bravo. thank you Andrew.

I wear a belt with interior zip every day. I carry a five euro note, a lightweight, but extremely sharp small knife, a top quality hacksaw blade, mini lighter, 20cmx20cm folded tin foil, and folded plastic bag. All fits inside the interior zip space. Always have something when you need nothing, cos when you need something, you might have it.

Whats with the pink nail polish? Is that military issue? Lol. Or do you, also, have a young daughter?

Grreat update but a question: Why'd you leave out the magnesium? Also, if you're going with birthday candles, have you tried the prank "can't blow out" candles?

You must pack one hell of a suitcase. You could make some money putting those kits together and selling them. The way you pack them I am surprised Best Glide ASE hasn’t hired you. Nicely done. Bravo Zulu.

Nice kit. I would replace that small flashlight with an Olight ieos it's like $8 Imo too many hunting/type items... snares/arrowhead etc... realistically a kit like this is to carry in your pocket or glove box for immediate use to get home etc... snaring takes time and as DC says you have to set like 11 snares to catch one providing your on a trail, or know see them critters hideouts. Otherwise, great kit. Love the ranger bands. What sizes are those and do they lose their elasticity quickly?

You seem to like the British '58 pattern water bottle and crusader mug that, and you use British terms as well. What's up with that? Are you coping the Europeans like Dave?

If your lid is popping, you need a bigger tin. Or less stuff. Some of this is a bit optimistic- I'd put in more wire and a couple washiers rather than four (4!) snare sets and the arrow head. Also, the handcuff key- I might carry them, but not in my pocket tin.

I'd like to start a discussion on small snares in pocket survival kits. 1) If you're on the move, snares are useless. (except maybe overnight while sleeping). 2) If stationary, what are you likely to catch? In any case, that occasional chipmunk is like a teabag to make soup.

Exactly what kind of keyboard "warrior" doesn't know how many uses there are for rubber bands? The 8-up is STRONG with them!

Andrew- good morning. What size/type of surgical scalpel is included on this kit? I took a screen shot and tried to determine the imprint of the blade through the foil but would like to know with certainty before sourcing. Your help is appreciated- Best

I actually prefere silicon bands, or rather bracelets, over ruber bands. Its more heat resistant And you Can keep it on yout wrist where you dont lose them....

Yeah, when I read "rubber band," I thought rubber band, as in the type of commercially available rubber bands one might find in an office. Not ranger band.

G'Day Andrew great video mate there's nothing like making your own survival tins from old and new tobacco tins I even have a tin I bought from a antique store that is from WW2 and have got it stocked with this and that and taped around outside. It's good to use everyday items you may have around the house or pick up from shops, well stay safe and alert.

Good stuff. Btw if you want a bit more windproofingvoutvof your b-day candles then spring for the self re-igniting trick candles. Even if the wind does blow em out they will spark back up on their own most of the time.

Best survival channel today, it would be interesting to see your assembly of a long-term or long-range survival backpack.

I've watch plenty survival tin videos No one has ever mentioned the plastic bag for making coffee in a MRE thick heat resistant and rolls up tiny Also use antibacterial ointment instead of Vaseline?

Great video. I do however, recommend civilians to use bright colors, rather than green for survival purposes., unless in a combat situation you need to be seen as much as possible, im sure you understand? Good contents and advice though. Like the trap idea.

Great video, that is an awesome batch of stuff in such a small container. Thank you

How do you put that aluminum foil cup in a fire? Also, maybe replace the birthday candles with the trick relighting ones which should maintain the flame better.

I subscribe to the popular channels of this genre, but Andrew is by far my go-to source for wilderness preparation.

Loved the video, as usual. I looked for the stainless Steel wire on your Amazon page, but didn't see it.

I don’t care if others say that the rubber bands are crap. I don’t and I am buying some of the ranger bands, multiple sizes. Great video, gave me ideas to add and revise my tin kit.

Nice tin. Lots of stuff, covering many differnt things in a small box. Would it ge worth bending a needle to a curve for sewing torn clothing and if necessary yourself. A curved needle is often easier if the thing being sewn isnt very flexible or stretchy.

A tinfoil boy scout cup, been making those since I was a kid. my brother showed me you can boil water, even in paper with that.

Good video, Andrew. Did you choose to forgo some Airborne Candy (ibuprofen) in the kit?

Awesome video. One suggestion. I add two arrowheads, a bowstring, and two sets of fletchings.

Great video buddy

Good shit

The duct tape mini kits are a great idea, nothing to rattle around, or fall out when opening the tin. Do you have any videos on how to make the traps in this video? I watched the video on basic trap making, but this seems new.

Great kit! I'd substitute a piece of SOLAS tape for the signal codes on the interior of the lid. Or you could run both, one on the interior of the lid and one on the interior of the bottom.

Thanks Bru.great video..I also have my own survival kit .thanks

have nice insights for my kit upgrade. also rubber bands are not worthless at all. they also can double as a tourniquet if needed.

Squirrel! 😂 I'll have to watch this sometime when I have an extra hour for rambling.

Great updated kit. One thing though is to magnetize the needle in your sewing kit so you have another way to tell north. Another backup.

Thank you, just need to remember to get it into your pack, mine is in my truck. Keep forgetting to put it in my pocket when i jump out. (Hunting)

Use trick birthday candles, if the wind blows them out they spontaneously reignite on their own.

I was thinking that having one or two of the relighting birthday candles might be useful for fire extending/starting in wet conditions.

Great video. I would think a collaborative video with Corporals corner on a survival tin would have to be done. 👍👍

Andrew, how about I challenge you with an idea for a survival and you do a video based on what you think about and design?

I hope you can do a few overnighters / trap line camps , this summer / fall . Great video as per 👏

Great tin kit ideas Sir, though I prefer to use looney tune bandaids when dealing with bad splinters!

Je ne connaissais pas le pliage de la feuille d'aluminium. Merci Ce que je n'ai pas compris à ta dernière vidéo, c'est le déclenchement du piège à gros gibier. L'explication est rapide, l'image furtive, est-il automatique ? Ce n'est pas grave, le concept est excellent je piocherais parmi tant d'autres déclenchements.

We used to make paper cups like that when I was a kid. Not sure if I could boil water in it, though 😅
