Hey Andrew, i'd like to ask about your SAK. In Rangergrip 79 you have corkscrew instead of Philips head. Do you find it more handy for bushcraft and survival? With corkscrew you can untie knots easily, screw the knife to the stick (can be used as a spear or pole saw or even pole cap lifter/flat head screwdriver if you are skilled enough). I think it's much better than the reamer for these applications. Not to mention it can store last ditch ferro rod and tinder.
@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft
Жыл бұрын
I think each has its pros and cons just like any piece of gear we carry. I prefer the Phillips head screw driver because I use it more for minor tasks with equipment. With the reamer I think mounting the SAK to a staff is still possible by batoning the stick onto the knife as opposed to screwing the corkscrew into the stick. Depending on the knot both the reamer and screw driver can be utilized as a marlin spike. I see the benefit in both but I prefer the screwdriver. I carry the Fieldmaster as a daily option as well just because I don’t like the screwdriver.

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.

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.👌👌👌👌

I could screw the knife to a pole and pull out the blade. Now, you have a lance for protection or to finish off that trapped bobcat or coyote. Just sharing. Thanks

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!

13:00 I thought I might share a technique I learned back in the day of Boy Scouts. Instead of a lot of carving the crane and pothanger, we used a much simpler method. We would cut three poles about 4-5 ft long, and clean them up a bit. We'd then tie them into a tripod to place over our fire. Then, instead of a pothanger pole, we'd have a length of mattress chain (dirt cheap; about 4-5 ft long) with a hook on both ends. Take one end around one of the tripod pole ends and hook into the chain below. Hook the pot on the other end and adjust to height as required. It's a light, easy to pack and insanely cheap method that lives in your kit all the time. No need to cut and carve. One could also use normal chain just as easily, but it would cost a bit more. [I just nicked a piece out of Dad's garage.!] Tinder: these days tinder can be very easy. Cotton make-up remover pads work very well - just rub some hand sanitiser into each pad (or use Vaseline petroleum jelly - just as good). A few strikes of the ferro-rod will get it going easily. Having a good quality candle is also very useful, as it gives a strong steady flame and can be used till the kindling is going well. It can be used to help start many fires, before replacing with another one. Remember to keep the pads in small Zip-loc bags to keep them totally dry. Cheers mate!

Thank you major,these knowledge were all tested with great vulues for both civilians and military active or reservists.because in case of calamity and disorder everyone must know how to survive.i hope every local government in every contry should support it.requiring every one to learn.i remember when i was in the elementary the 12 scout laws and. One of them for the boyscout is "always ready". I suggest to have a pack of wet tissue for hygiene. hUA! Long live sir snap salute.

Question. Where do you get the bituminised cord? It seems to be unattainable here in Australia.

As always, super neat bush tricks Andrew, cheers! Been a fan since I saw you perform the lake crossing with a pair of waterproofs as a flotation device 😎 out of interest where we’re your grandparents based in the UK?

Just google rangergrip and you'll find a bunch of sites that sell it. I got the walnut handle version. It's not a one handed and it doesn't have a rubber grip but it's a pleasure to work with.

@@FaceSmushEvil Please also check out the "fire ant" ferro rod and tinder as upgrade, fitting into the cork screw of the Ranger grip/ -wood.

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!

“Billy" is the Australian term for what our US cousins call a bush-pot. “Billy Tea”, the brand, is just a riff on that colloquial name for the bush-pot. Fun fact: I last saw a real swagman as late as 1994 in North Queensland behind Cairns. Love your work.
