Hey, there OK so in Lee Maine, there is a retreat for military, former and current is for the military soldiers and their families. It is owned by one man who has done this all himself with the support of the community, I think we would all love to see you up here and give a few classes and just down the road and get the name of the road that he lives on skunk Hill Road, there’s 4 acres of land skunk hill road is actually an ATV trail although it is paved, it has electricity, but anyways look up in the name of the retreat is house in the woods. I look forward to meeting you up here one day.
Very cool
Thank you Andrew. Your videos are so down to the point instructional. Through the year I realized I don't need to ruck the kitchen sink. Disabled & 62 yrs old I've accumulated so much surplus gear. Now have a haversac, day pack & my old alice pack. Your past videos are a constant source of reference. There are a few items from SRO I need to order as my budget allows. When I was young and homeless I realized now I had the five C's and very mobile.
Wow
I love these videos. Reminds me of my boyhood years playing in the woods before tech took over. But I'm using tech against itself by learning these lessons. Using tech to teach me how to live without tech.

Another fun and instructive video! Particularly liked the “Australian technique“ with the tea.
I have a large swiss army knife, which I use for camping. It has the can/bottle opener. No bottles to open in the woods (or flathead screws) so I filed the tip down and turned it into a chisel. Works nice (it locks).
That's a good idea. I use the newer Outrider, and the locking flathead is perfect for splitting wood after batoning. Making it a chisel wouldn't compromise that.
I also was thinking of turning mine into a chisel especially to punch leather work to pre drill a hole for the sewing awl.
Awesome,
I Love Tea Before Or As Breakfast, At Lunch And After Din-Din, Or Before Ni-Night Time! I'm Not Even British, Lol! 😎
Hell yes! Given the choice between a square meal and a large mug of tea I'd probably choose the tea!
Love a good brew in the field. I'm more partial to Leatherman than an SAK but I do still love my little red knife.
So cool to see you use our Aussie billy technique mate! The "billy" is the name for the pot itself. Boil the billy, just means boil the pot of water. Bloody rippa!
💯 correct Andrew. We've been making tea that way in the outback for over a hundred years, and the Billy is what we call the pot
Glade to see another tea drinker and thanks for spin technique, I didn't know that one.
My camping partner’s mom is British, he drinks tea on camping trips. Pretty sure boiling the water gets you a stint in the Tower of London! 😂
Your simple, direct and positive delivery is my favorite part of your content. Your voiceover and visuals are mellow and direct, making the learning easier to digest and sink in. Thanks.
first
Hi Andrew greetings from Australia, thank you for your time to make these videos, you forgot to tap the button of the billy .
Been watching the evolution of this ridge line quick deployment by Dave and it really can't get any easier and convenient. Good to see you also demonstrating it in your video Andrew. You have awesome content in your channel, very straight forward and informative. Keep the good work.
Here in the lowlands I would add a hammock too. Mud and insects will ruin any rest you get and being exhausted makes you more likely to make serious mistakes.
Too true. Add a plastic shopping bag to put leaves in and use as a pillow. So simple. Can even purchase 3 inflatible mini pillows for $9. Why torture yourself?
This is the first time I've found this channel and I must say I'm totally impressed. Furthermore this is also the 1st time I've seen an American use our traditional Aussie way of settling tea leaves by swinging the billy around your head 👍. It was never called a bush pot, just a billy usually made from an empty Prune tin of about 4 pints (no litres in those days) to cater for 4 blokes at smokoa and lunch time. Born in the bush 78 years ago I 1st started work at age 14 as a billy boy and general rusabout to fencing contractors, always camped in the bush in WWII ex-army tents. The correct method to make billy tea is to boil water to a rolling boil and put a measure of tea leaves in the palm of your hand then drop the leaves in the rolling boil and with the other hand IMMEDIATELY lift the billy off the fire and swing it 3 times around your head. NEVER put the leaves in cold water and bring it to THE boil. That's termed as making a tea stew, which is quite sour and if I ever did that I'd get a number 9 placed where the sun doesn't sun........very strict rules, as the blokes would whinge about the tea being stewed at smoko. If we were working in narrow leafed Iron Bark country just after swinging the billy, 1 Iron Bark gum leaf could be broken in several pieces, exposing the eucalyptus flavour and dropped in the now settled brew for a few minutes before removing before the tea is poured. it makes quite a nice smooth sweet tea. Everyone would be happy, drunk with ash cooked damper laced with Golden Syrup (also called Cockies Joy, cuz it was cheap and the boss Cockie would be happy it didn't cost much). If I got the chance I reckon I could still knock out a decent ash cooked damper. Some things are never forgotten. Major Richard (Dick) Graves who wrote the 10 bushcraft books, illustrates your billy boiling techniques Andrew. Dick Graves was an army mate of my Dad, they met on the Kokoda Track in 1942. I had the honour of meeting him at a 6th Div reunion in 1968 in Sydney when I drove my Dad down to the big smoke. Unfortunately Dick passed away not long after. From one old bushie Andrew I wish to sincerely thank you for making this video, it stirred a lot of long lost emotion in me.👌👌👌👌
Aussie here..."Billy Tea" is indeed a brand, but it is also a method which you partially demonstrated. Old Bushies like my parents and grandparents would use certain types of eucalypt leaves (gum leaves) laid across the top of the liquid, then the billy is swung around and the gum leaves will help keep more of the leaf tea at the bottom.

Grandma would be very proud! Interesting trick those Aussies have.
Just sitting here in Sydney Australia with a nice cup of tea watching this wishing I could get away in the bush. I was surprised to see you swing the Billy, I haven’t seen it done like that for a long time. Great video.
Mainly because people are too lazy to use loose leaf.
@@daviddilley8310 you are probably right there but not in my case at home as I only stopped making pots of tea about six months ago because I’ve found a brand of organic tea bags that constantly make the best cups of tea I’ve ever had.
This is one of the most informative channels out here, if not, the most informative, thanks for your hard work, appreciate it .....
Congratulations on becoming an instructor! S/F. Keep up the good work.
In my humble opinion, Andrew was a superb survival/bushcraft/wilderness instructor without the Pathfinder crowd.
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! I've carried something similar for years while hunting. Once down in the Kiamichi Mountains during muzzleloader season, I got turned around and spent the night in the woods. I was glad for the things I had with me to make it thru the night. I was lost because My compass was messed up due to a large rock wall. The only things I added was a fat candle stub, and a bic lighter. Retired my zippo. I forward these videos to my sons and grandsons. Thanks for all You Do! God Bless!
Andrew, great to see the spin of the billy to settle the leaves. Was going to mention this in the comments when I saw the pot go on the fire. Obviously, someone has been giving away secrets. Nothing like a brew in the bush, and loose leaves are so much better than a teabag.
Nice one.Thanks💪🍄😎
Always a pleasure, always learning and training!
Whaaaaaaaat 🤣
That's got to be the first time I have ever heard him say he needs help lighting a fire 🤣 granted he was talkin about tinder but I was a little surprised 😲 he got my attention and I did a double-take... I'll admit it 🤣
I'm a great admirer of your videos , usually fantastic.
I'm British , I love tea . . . YOUR METHOD OF MAKING TEA IS DIABOLICAL ! . . .
You've got to boil the water ; THEN add the tea , otherwise the tea will be stewed (too much tannin) . Do a field test , comparing my system to yours , and I bet you'll find my method produces a better tasting tea. Carry on with the good work.
Yes I love my ranger grip knife.
Whirling a pot for clean tea! Thank You Andrew for this hack!❤️
I must try it out!
ive got tea bags in my survival pouch...quite agree
I love noodle fishing and use Bank line but that stuff is tuff and useful for a lot of things.
Another excellent quality video. Ty.
I'll have to try the Billy Pot method with morning coffee. For me, its tea it the evening. I've grown past "Over the gunwale and into the bay." That was the Boston Masonic Lodge by the way. Treasonous no-good peasants! Like mr Biden said, "God save the Queen". Anyway, I was telling Shawn, we don't have any long straight branches or trees out here on the Left Coast. However, I just recalled that I thinned out our oleanders the last two days. I forget which part(s) are poisonous, but after they dry, they should be fine. Nice carving!! Carry on! Hooyah!
Very cool video... I am no longer able to do camping due to some disability from Arthritis but I enjoy watching you demonstrate useful skills.
I reduced salt by 1/2 (for BP) and tomato by 90% (love hot sauce). World of difference. Worth a try. Can now make a fist again. Slow stretching helps, too. No more pain meds, either.
Excellent video, sir! A little comment for the algorithm gods.
Great video Andrew
Ear to ear
Great job, Andrew
That’s a great hanger!!
The pot hanger is pretty fancy. I'd just push some coals off to the side a set me pot on top don't have to worry about the pot falling down and dumping my drink or dinner.
There's a guy who knows his tea. People look at me strangely when I don't boil my tea water (just HOT water), and then just dip the tea bags a few times and take them out immediately. It makes way better tasting tea!
Tell you something - I no longer boil water in a plastic kettle. I use a tin kettle which I boil over a fire or gas stove. Plastic kettles make tea taste like shit. Best cup of tea I ever had I boiled the water in an empty dog food tin. Washed, of course. (I gave the dog food to the feral cats which came around).
I’ve made 2 pot hangers already, when we got back to one of our camps one year later, the pot hanger was there and waited for us. Such a good feeling
Once again, an excellent instructional video! I never trained with the Australians but wish I had. The swinging of the bush pot to get the leaves to the bottom is great and simple. Thanks! God bless you!
👍🏻
Wonderful learning your tips and tricks, I added two more smaller toggles attached to prussiks on my ready ridgeline to attach my tarp more quickly without fussing around with sticks, it doesn't and much more bulk or weight for a fast and easy set up in inclement weather.
Andrew...problem solved about the tea leaves - thank you!!!! Take care...Robin
Thanks Brother!
Thanks, Andrew! Great video.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us, great video.
👍👍
Great video, Looking forward for the next one. I will have to add English Breakfast to my to try list. thanks
Love that hat brother, I've got the exact same one, I'm a long time Mathews man myself 👍
Great 5 C's kit! Love a minimal approach.
Thx as always Col.
Short, Sweet, and to the point. Thanks, Andrew.
Excellent instruction and content. You are a gifted instructor Andrew! Thank you!
Awesome Andrew
Thanks for sharing your tips and thoughts. Always look forward to seeing them
Excellent video. I really like the ready-to-go ridge line.
Boiling tea can make the tea very bitter; if you have to boil the water, do it first, then add the tea AFTER you take the billy can or kettle off the fire. If you don't drink all the tea hot, save it for later, b/c cold tea makes a refreshing drink too!
Very true,a bitter tea. Isn't that enjoyable
And los of certain properties tea have.
Always enjoy your take on bushcraft/fieldcraft skills and techniques. Thanks Andrew
Great video thanks for sharing 👍
Nicely done Andrew, enjoying the content
Great information
Cheers for the updates Major. Always looking forward for your vids. Cheers mate.
Another good video my friend... Keep it up 👍
That improved ridgeline is great!
Great video. Simple and effective setup. I like the bush pot hanger and tea method.
Another great video! Keep them coming.
Andrew. Excellent video. Thank you for your professionalism. Continue to produce quality work.
Thank You Andrew!
Another great video , thanks Andrew.
Really enjoy your content! Keep up the good work! ✅👍🏻😊
This is great! I never thought to put the toggles on the line beforehand I'm going to do this today! I showed my son how to use the quick deploy Ridgeline into toggles that I keep in the bag with my ridge line now I'm just going to drill two holes in them awesome idea!
Bravo Andrew, outstanding as always. Thanks.
You don’t need the Pathfinder crowd to give you credibility. Your knowledge, skills and credibility speak for themselves.
Outstanding kit. Job well done sir. Thanks
I was really enjoying the video, but that cup of tea made me like and subscribe. Cheers from Scotland
Thanks again for a very enjoyable and informative video, i grew up with tea drinkers from the UK, my grandparents introduced me to it when i was a wee lad, ha, ha.
As always great knowledge.
These tips help one to Thrive while you survive,Allowing to keep your mental focus a bit sharper overall,during times of duress.Many Thanks for this tutorial Andrew,Cheers!!
Sir, great video, Skipper! Remember that 3 stages of boil do obtain, simmer, boil, and roil, I call them. Now I will try steeping before boil, and after roil, and compare. The 1qt. with lid is a big help in purifying with tabs.
A couple with a well-disciplined bush dog on a remote canoe trip in Alaska will benefit from having 1 tarp each, a bug-proof tent (hopefully with viewing windows), & some kind of rain gear or poncho. In an emergency you may choose a low-impact, temporary camping spot inland, possibly out of sight of the river. Use bow saw & chopper to build a wide palisade with spaced, 4-inch or thicker "sticks," under an overhead tarp canopy linked with duct tape. Be well armed. I generally prefer a "short," stainless-steel, heavy bolt-action.375 caliber rifle. Powerful shotguns & handguns can be appropriate. Have multiple headlamps, etc. Get guidance, work with authorities, & be prepared!
Love the new ridgeline
Hello 👋 Andrew, a big thank you for sharing this vital information. Stay safe out there.
I've seen a lot of quick deploy ridgelines, but this is my favorite. Thanks!
Great content! Thank you Andrew
Awesome video, thank you for sharing.
Not just survive, but thrive.
Love ya psi.
Great my grand parents came over in the early 1900s and we had the same tea biscuts .great tips on haversacks ill going to try this set up
Love this instructive video . Thanks !
Liking the video. That toggle method on the ridge line is simplistic. I guess the idea came from the friction tent lines on large gp tents. I recently received a SAK Ranger Grip 78 and thoroughly enjoy it. A really awesome knife. I gained an appreciation for hot tea some 30+ years ago starting with green tea after I met my lovely bride. And for a Southerner that is not easy to do. It is sweet iced tea or nothing. I led to enjoying English and Irish breakfast teas and, thanks to you, chai tea.
Good load-out, I need these reminders to pack light.
You definitely learned about tea! Not too many people know not to boil it. Looking forward to your next video!
Survival kit
👍 LIKE
Love that enhanced Ridgeline
Like that tea swinging,think I've seen it decades ago,nice tip.
Thanks Andrew
Hey, Andrew! I love your videos and that you share your experience, even the efficient way you talk! 😆 And while I do admit, I need this for a game design idea (which is often dismissed by survival experts, so I sorry in advance), I wonder how someone with your level of skill and knowledge would go about survival without any gear whatsoever, or at least no metal, just basic clothes, in an uninhabited island scenario (so no trash, no people). I'm aware you probably wouldn't put yourself in such situation in the first place but if you find it interesting material for a video, I'd be the first one to watch it 30 times, man. Cheers and have an awesome week!
Yeah...that would be very interesting & worth watching.
Another outstanding video. Reminds us we dont need to take the kitchen sink and an RV on a hike. Knowledge and some elbow grease is all it takes.
Outstanding. Always appreciate new ways of doing things. Rangers lead the way!
