    I like the way you show the tips with just enough explanation, without overdoing it. One thing that is sometimes annoying with other similar videos by bush-crafters is spending 10 minutes to learn just one of the tips\tricks you demonstrated, filling the rest of the time with over-explaining, sponsors, or just not being as direct and to the point as you were.

    Every sailor in the US Navy knows that flotation technique. That's why sailors wore bell bottoms, more room for air.

    The rain pants as water bladders is a great idea. However, with respect, may I suggest not cutting them and only fill each leg as needed, so; 1)you don't need extra cordage to tie them together. 2)you only need a zip tie for each leg. 3) you can reuse them.

      @@grahamfisher5436 As a retired Marine, I agree with your assessment. We also used our trousers for emergency flotation as he did here with rain pants, however, flotation lasted long enough then we repeated the air catch maneuver over and over again. The tight weave of military trousers is an advantage to regular trousers of civvy use. We train in water survival and all the ways one can stay afloat for days. We did something similiar with our shirts as well. We learned survival swimming which required keeping the body afloat by making one swim motion and sucking in air then floating the body but all gear had to be gone like packs or anything with weight, otherwise it would pull us down and suspension would be difficult. We would put both hands with our arms extended in front of us then make a gentle but powerful sweep to our sides once to take a breath then hang in suspension holding our breath, when releasing the air we repeated the same process over and over again until rescue or we saw small wave cresting, meaning we were near a beach. The objective is to reduce calorie demand of our bodies. When surviving in the ocean or large bodies of water, regardless of technique , we must be conscientious about the use of calories. calories = energy. Land survival requires never cutting anything if at all possible, a greater need may just be around the corner or at some distance. Cutting trousers for water containment is a very bad thing to do. Rain clothes can insulate you from high winds and cold nights, keeping you warm or even be a form of bivvy with water repellence at night or if it rains. There are many uses for fully intact outerwear. If need be, fill both legs with water cinch them with cord in the crotch area of both legs flop one leg on the front of one shoulder and flop the other on the back side of the same shoulder to carry to your destination. Easy Peasy. I like watching this channel because it reminds me of the good old days, my era, Viet Nam. Practice, practice, practice and tease out the weaknesses ! Take care ! A friend always.

  • @johnkline5930
    @johnkline5930 Před 2 lety +5

    You made me cry when you cut up rain pants… Good bye Woodland pants! Lol. Great tips today applying survival to the Soldier’s load out. Highly overlooked aspect of survival is creating weapons for protection… nature has a lot of predators roaming around… best to have something to keep distance (spear/pike) and something incase the distance contracts (club/black jack/ primitive knife or wooden spike).
    Neat trick using the cravat to wick water into the canteen cup too!

    Those skills are definitely worth knowing. The BDU pants for floatation is (or was in my day) a must learn & master skill for all Coast Guard personnel in basic training. I'll remember the rain pants water bladder. In WW2 the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) developed a combo CQB weapon known as the Peskit... a retractable garotte, steel ball for striking the head, and a spring ice pick. Glad to see you are feeling better Major !

    • @les3449
      @les3449 Před 10 měsíci

      Yeah, I went through CG boot camp in 1977 and we all had to tread water while taking off our pants and doing this technique. Also had to button our shirts to our necks and push air in the bottom of the shirt so the back of our shoulders trapped the air. Must keep splashing water on the cloth to hold the air in.

    Grateful you are here. Goes back to the first Ranger commando training under “Iron Mike” O’Daniel, when using fragile hemp rope. The grappling hook and line are still essential for scaling and descending the tricky peaks. You may need to let gear down with the line to get it off your back. Your dog may have to ride down behind you on your shoulders. Been there many times.

    6 of them I learned in the Boy Scouts back in the early 80's. Our Scout Master never was in the military, but he believed that us boys needed to learn how to survive out in the woods.
    It's better to know a skill and never need it than be in the situation that you need it and don't know it. Another thing, you need to practice your skills so it's easier to do when you need it.

    Thanks for the video. I'd debate with the "sock water filter" however. In arid conditions, without any decent foliage or trees that may be the only way. Given that we'd have any plants around us I think it's best to create a tube from the bark and then apply filters. Sock itself gets wet quickly and after several seconds we only filter majority of the water trough it's fabric, as its the "quicker" way for water to drop down.

    Hi Andrew, great tips my friend, I especially liked the improvised shorts, plus water bags, I think your ire saws must be pretty good quality, as the ones I've had this side of the pond have been poor , to say the least. Hope everything is going well for you, and your feeling much better, thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe Major, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
