Survival Knife - A Skill Every Survivalist Needs to Know for Survival and Bushcraft!

the other advantage of a small knife is that you're more likely to carry it and have it with you when you need it most

I particularly like these type of videos where you make the most of what you may have on you. It's all about skills rather than having carrying a large amount of equipment.

This channel has quickly become one of my favorite YouTube channels.

Knowing how to use a top quality full tang knife for everything. Ranger intuition and ingenuity. Top notch.

A great reminder regarding knowledge, skills & abilities of equipment, & how to "manufacture" in the wild. Richard Proeneke was a master "engineer".

I recently did over a month of primitive living in the Missouri Ozarks. I still believe in carrying a large chopper and a blade like yours for more detailed work. Plus I have that 2 is one and one is none philosophy. However, I completely get your point and I learned some good techniques by watching your video. Awesome lesson Ranger!

I typically don’t comment on videos but I can truly say I’ve learned more about survival by watching you videos than any other channel. You don’t talk down to the viewer but are really engaging that makes me want to really listen to you teach. And you genuinely seem to love what you do. Thank you for taking the time to make high quality videos each time.

Got my pilot's survival knife at Benning in 74, it's good enough for anything that I'm going to need. Good Luck, Rick

I was taught a 6 inch fixed blade knife was optimal by a cadre of SF instructors while I was stationed at Ft. Bragg. I've lived that to this day.

Things as simple as wedges are often overlooked. Thanks for sharing

This is a video that I needed. I was out recently and realized I had no real idea how to process large pieces of firewood without an axe. Thanks!

Knowledge and skill weigh nothing. Good stuff buddy. Thank you for your service and the great video content.

Perfect example of work smart not hard, and knowledge is definitely power. Thank you for teaching us useful skills and tactics. Keep the videos coming, I'll watch them as fast as you can put them out

My 4 inch mora garberg does everything I need to do in the field I do carry a small axe or hatchet and folding saw for larger wood processing

I don't think that you've answered this very objectively, "Can a small knife do everything a large knife can?" No, it can't, if they could nobody would bother making a large knife, however, "Is a smaller knife sufficient to meet your needs in the woods?" Solves your difficulty, you do not require a machete or a Rambo knife for the vast majority of life's problems, but a large knife can certainly accomplish certain tasks better than a smaller knife, and a smaller knife can do some things better than a larger knife, as the saying goes "Each tool to it's task."

I’m in my mid-60s….retired Navy and retired federal wildlife LEO. I went through SERE Basic at NAS Brunswick Maine in the mid 1970s. While my days in the backcountry are pretty much done, (except for the occasional trail run with my Aussie or a bikepacking ride), I still found this video both educational and entertaining. The extra benefit was your instructor “style”. Of course I wouldn’t don’t know if you were an instructor in the military, but if not, you would have been a helluva SERE School instructor! Bravo-Zulu, we’ll done…..and thank you for your service to this country!

Love this channel! Packed full of useful information delivered in a no nonsense manner without a load of fluff, by someone who has clearly lived in the survival world for a long time (not one of those desktop reviewer pseudo survival fantasists).

Always on point. making wedges and splitting material is a good knowledge nugget to keep in the mind. well done

I have a kellam puukko and I love how comfortable the handle is it’s really hard to beat. I always go back to using that knife.

On the next episode of Ranger Survival, Sarn't will show you how to build a viking longship from the planks he is able to produce from splitting logs with the wedges he's fabricated
