Man, the contents of a book condensed down to a less than seventeen (17) minute video. Top shelf content.
I agree, but i still expect a book made by him. I certainly would buy it.
@@TND_Bushcrafthonestly, all those tips and tricks would be cool to have in a shtf situation
This guys military background is just so obvious, he really is an incredibly effective teacher/instructor. Direct, no fluff, no filler, just the info you need.
One of my favourite non-UK bushcraft/outdoor skills channels.
unfortunately he is not so good at English. Andrew may kick my ass but he cant outspeak me. he still says hear thhhh , when it is HAR th. I| can cap on grunts speaking ability all day, but not their survivability. I'm just a regular guy but I bet I could show him at least one thing.
edit: at least five survivalists say CHAMWHA, when it is shammy. I'm not proud, but I am educated.
Top notch for sure.
Just curious, who are your fave UK channels?
@kkschumann Bruce Lee! Always my favorite!
Great video!
2:45 it's important to realize that while the melting point of polyester is 200 C or higher, polyester is sensitive to hot water above 60 C. Since boiling water can require 100 C at sea level, using a polyester poncho for rock boil or fire boil will release carboxyl groups into the water, esp above 80 C. The reaction is known as hydrolysis. Add the alkalinity from wood ashes and the process accelerates. First effect is to dramatically reduce the water resistance of the fabric, so poncho will have limited life, esp for rock boils. Ponchos that smell like vinegar or funk are undergoing hydrolysis and producing carboxylic acids and salts. Ethylene glycol is also produced but is odorless. It does render a sweet taste and if the water tastes sweet, it is toxic.
Thanks for that information, but in a survival situation dehydration will kill you long before the toxins will.
Just eat some charcoal that will clear the toxins out.
That is a handy bit of information. Thanks.
Ethylene glycol is a main chemical in radiator coolant. 🤢
Any convenient way to remover the ethylene glycol? Sounds like antifreeze? The sweetness test is important to remember.
@@peterbogart4531 the only effective way I know of removing trace ethylene glycol (and other organic materials) from water is with vacuum-boosted distillation. That's only convenient if you have apparatus on your vessel, lab, or workshop, and know how to operate it ...
Not saying it's the only way, just the way I'm familiar with.
Once again, you have taken what other youtubers would take ten separate 15-minute video to say and condensed it into a single 17-minute masterclass. God bless you sir.
I hope to see many more uses for poncho in the future. A poncho play list please. Love all that you do.
Some of the best direct , straight to the point, instruction.
I love that Alpha tent. Haven't seen that in years. Thanks for bringing it back to life. Small diameter sticks, green of coarse, can be used if you don't have the tent poles.
I recently made one out of a 8ftx10ft tarp ( camouflage of coarse ) , used 1/3 of the tarp for the floor and the rest to make the alpha tent, worked really well.
I thought the same thing! That's the Alpha Tent!
@tjmatthews7474 yep I may even have an old video with that on it. I made it with a Walmart backpacking tarp, but it worked, but it's blue, not very stealth. The Major had it going on. Love this out of a Poncho! Doesn't he?
Haven't seen this Alpha tent before! Definitely going to try it! The only add-on to it would be to add cordage from each opposite corner after the poles have been inserted to make the dome shape, then the added cordage would be on the ground underneath you so that if a wind picks up it doesn't just fly off you. And with a couple of HD trash bags (filled with debris) under you, it should be a fairly dry bed! Thank you for this info, Ranger! Semper Fi!
@@MarilynStanglreally nice tip. Thank you!

Heard it said that a poncho has umpteen uses. But never seen it demonstrated and so well. Great job Andrew 👍🏻👏
Great stuff as always!
Keep the great training and knowledge coming.
As A full time traveler with a 20 liter backpack to accommodate my lifestyle.
I have a turkish military poncho that is my shelter. Lots of ways to manipulate this piece of gear.
Thanks for the extreme use benefits instructions.
At the moment living on the Ionian Sea!!!
I read time traveller the first time lol
A USGI poncho is the most useful piece of gear you can have. I have several and one goes everywhere I do
Thanks for the video
This video made me a little nostalgic. Reminded of my jungle training at JOTC in Ft. Sherman Panama with the 7th Special Forces group. You always put out good info and refreshes my mind . GREAT JOB SOLDIER!
I'm glad to see my must-have (most versatile) piece of gear getting so much love lately. 👍👍
Outstanding video I find the older ponchos are better than the new ones. The one I was issued from the 80's just seam to hold up better than the new one I bought.
The new one you bought is most likely a Chinese copy.
@@PewLand probably but I bought it at the PX on Bragg so who knows.
@@chrismoore600 If it has an actual NSN number then it most likely is real. Lots of deceptive marketing online from companies called "USGI industries" or similar will sell Chinese ponchos for a premium price and they all suck balls. Some of the surplus gear can also be lesser quality based on the contractor that built it.
Ok whatever I stand by my original post.
Again- awesome content and demonstration
Rain ponchos are always recommended instead of rain gear. Great video to show people why a poncho is so versatile. Nicely done.
This definitely meets the cool factor. Awesome!
This is my favorite channel
Got a Helikon poncho a couple years back and I haven't looked back yet. Kept me dry on hikes, acted as a hammock fly during storms, and I've used the float method for my gear, but unlike you being on CZcams, i was alone in the woods so I stripped down to my skivvies.
He does not recommend stripping down to your skivvies to cross water obstacles.
@@user-wd4ge2zh2c I know, but thanks to my time in service I've spent too much time being cold, wet and miserable to do it on purpose anymore.
Can anyone tell me where can I find the best quality poncho in multicam?
Your demonstrations are outstanding
Best survival chanel out there 👍
Andrew, your videos are always good, learning experiences. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless.
Great job demonstrating drown proofing! A lot of info and demonstration. Your videos are always very informative. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you as always, Andrew!!
Another great video where you explain so well what you can do in a vulnerable situation. Keep up the good work.
Hello from romulus Michigan brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure
Thank You for making this CZcams.
Thank You for Your Service.
Absolutely outstanding.... I'm ex army, and the poncho was one of our most important and most carried pieces of kit, but some of these ways to use a poncho i never would have considered
Thank you Ranger! So great to come home from the city and then hear you explain the essentials in life.
I'm not a professional but I been reading books , I be seeing videos and I got my survival book bag ready for anything, thanks for the videos it really helps us a lot
Awesome video, as always!
Major Andrew another excellent video. Poncho origami at its best 👍🇺🇸
The idea of a plastic bag, backpack and poncho as a buoy, I thought it was incredible!
And it is also a great collector of drinking rainwater!!!
Excellent class Andrew, thanks.
Outstanding demonstrations of the poncho! Thanks Andrew, you always knock it out of the park!
Your great n Thank you for your service.
Brillant military Pancho video Sir!
!Pancho Villa con Poncho{
A poncho is a great piece of equipment
Much respect to you Major for teaching us how to adapt and overcome. Thank you for not whining and complaining about views like some CZcamsrs do.
I have a large river to cross on the way home in a bad situation - now I have hope.
Sounds like you might live near the Columbia.
Absolutely superb video...this has totally convinced me to purchase more ponchos 👍
One of the best videos I have seen well done
Thanks Andrew
Excellent channel to learn survival skills as well as bushcrafts. This is strongly recommended channel to follow.
Brilliant! Thank you, Andrew.
Superb ! Thank you!
Excellent as always. Thank you.

Outstanding as usual, Andrew.
Another great video Andrew!! Many thanks
Great video. Great info.
Well done sir
Excellent as always.
👍
Awesome as usual Andrew quality video thanks
Good lessons. Thank you !
Great
Brilliant video.
Great advice, to collect and keep a couple extra tent poles.
Especially if you can collect them from an older tent, or maybe Sun shade,
One that might be ripped or worn out... But whose poles remain functional.
Great advice.
Good stuff. Thx.
Great video. Thanks
In the 60s the army called it an Australian Poncho Raft. Nomenclature changes with the culture.
This may have come from "The 10 Bushcraft Books" by Richard Graves. Mr. Graves was formerly the commanding officer
of the Australian Jungle Survival & Rescue Detachment on active service with the USAAF (United States Army Air Force).
Neat stuff as always Col.
Wow! Great stuff. You have accumulated some valuable knowledge through continuous training. Thanks for sharing it with us all!
saving lives with videos and solid info! thank u!
I've been using my "cheap military grade" poncho today as a lean to shelter, awesome video 👌
Fun video.
Thank you for the great content for multiple uses for rain poncho, very cool!!!
Great updates Major. Cheers from Australia.
Great video Andrew 👍👍👍👍👍
Outstanding Training!
Never be without the poncho, Again.
And zip ties, 550 cord, webbing, shock cords...etc.
Great job as always Andrew!!!! Keep up the great content.
Thanks instructor drew, very useful intel. I see you've changed your profile pic. Can you hook us up with another Military Survival Skill soon? Or a Military Kit. Maybe a Military Survival Knife Skills.
Oh, and i wanna thank you.
For everything you do for us, all your videos, your instructions, your tips, your tricks, your skills, your bushcraft, your experience and your efforts. I'll be happy to see you again as soon as you can man. Thanks.
THX for sharing. Good job. Go one. Greading from Germany ❤
Been looking through all your videos and I'm loving them brilliant 👌
Great video.
Very cool and useful stuff.
Awesome job! Clear and concise. Thank you for making the effort.
Hard core! Another excellent video. The brush raft was totally new to me.
Great video. Keep up the great work. God bless. From Glenn CATT. In Massachusetts.
It was an awesome poncho video!
Some good bushcraft G2
Keep up the good work brother
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another excellent video! Some of those tips I haven't seen in years, but they still work for sure!
Your videos are always informative. I learn from or I am reminded of things from my Army training. Thank you
Great video! So many uses out of a poncho . Will definitely use these techniques.
Another classic! What if you don't have a poncho or trash bag....I learned as a teenager in a Red Cross JLS class that you can use your pants as a flotation device. The pants are wet and you are in the water; knot both legs, zip the fly, balloon the pants as you close up the belt. Place your arms around the legs and head near the crotch, and then you can float or frog kick to shore. When the air leaks then repeat. Good stuff from boy's camp.
I have heard of that. But try ballooning the pants over your head in the air while you’re struggling in the water. I do not see that happening without drowning.
Awesome video! The only additional point that I believe would be important is to not grab rocks by a water source. Any internal moisture can and will cause them to explode possibly leading to injuries.
One idea might be to care fully experiment from a distance. Not to start a wildfire, of course.
Yay for the return of the Alpha Tent! I've made many of those two-pole shelters with tarps and ponchos over the years.
Excellent video Andrew, thanks for sharing, God bless brother !
There are reusable zip ties. I can re-use the common ones with a knife or something pointy but there is a product that makes it easy
Fella, you MUST write a book!!
Great video, I've said it before, I learn something new every time. Stay safe bro.🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲
