      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.

    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.

    • @trooperjinthewoods4538
      @trooperjinthewoods4538 Před 8 měsíci

      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.

      @@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 ...

    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.

    • @MarilynStangl
      @MarilynStangl Před 8 měsíci +1

      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!

    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.
