This Tactical Hack is Ideal for Bushcraft and Survival!

I see hundreds of future slingshots ..is it just me? Lol

Selling well known DIY ranger bands as news. What a joke.

No — hiker and backpacker are not the same thing. I happen to be both, but they are two different things…

Funny, I've been using such pieces of innertube for keeping my tin box tight, as protection against overstrikes on my ax, to keep bowdrill sets together (I've got different sets from different wood types for educational purposes), and some wrapped around my knife sheath with the idea it might come in handy as a fire starter in difficult conditions (although I never use it that way so as not to pollute the environment - strictly survival use here). Great minds think alike?

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Holy crap Batman. Dan did it again. A boatload of handy tips in a 3 minute video with a recycled item. I have what’s left of a wheelbarrow tube in my shed that I’ve cut into many times. I’ll have to stop by the local bicycle shop and see if I can get one of those to add to my toolbox. Keep up the great work.

10,000,and 1 uses. I've been using them for years! Great tip though!

I have kept a sleeve on my lighters. A second benefit is nobody steals my lighter.

Cut them length wise longer they are great to make a slingshot. Silent & powerful

You know KNOW you're desperate for content when you show how to make ranger bands - sad.

Hikers and backpackers are definitely not the same thing. I enjoy hiking. Backpacking can be fun, but there's generally enough pain involved that I'd rather go hiking.

Yes, I realize I'm basically calling myself a wimp 😎

Put it round a Zippo, Gas can't evaporate as fast or a gas handwarmer so you can prefill it fer later use.

Been doing that for over 30 years and was taught to me by an old man who had been doing it for over 50 years, when he taught me.

Thanks Dan. Take care 😊

Put over a knife handle to provide greater grip..

It you cut them around as if skinning game and remove the valve you can use the whole thing like bungee cord or tie downs. Trim to length or width for whatever you need.

These are the best for tidying up your pack straps.

Great Tips! I used a 3’ section of tube on my gate. Screwed one end on post, stretched it over and screwed other on gate. (Used big washers to distribute the hold). It’s been automatically closing my gate for many years. Thanks for all your advice Dan! 👍👍 🛞

I enjoy your videos very much

Excellent!

I wonder if that would stretch over a double bit axe handle as a shoulder guard? How wide would it need to be to be effective? I also have a Gransfors Bruk axe I want to protect.

I have been using inner tube for Bungee cords for FORTY plus years! Your Rubber Band trick NEVER occurred to me. and its simplicity is ZARKING brilliant!!!!

They also make good bungee tie down straps.

I like your channel because you don't have a pony tail and you know your stuff.
At sports shows I like to ask "survivalists" what natural things they use as toilet paper? if they are a fraud they studder and stammer and saw things like grass and leaves, next booth please.

You Americans might well incorrectly call them 'Ranger Bands' but they were invented and patented by a Scotsman whilst you were still conquering the west. Robert William Thomson and therefore, they should be called by their correct name, THOMSON Bands.

My new favorite survivalish channel!

my grandmother went crazy when I bought 1kg of elastic, she was the only person who was in favor of me spending my money on whatever I wanted (I was very economical, when I stopped earning money, it was just my grandparents msm, and I received something from other relatives for my birthday, I had 15 months of allowance). This was one of the best purchases of my life!! It's very useful, and lasts a long time, and totally versatile. few times it is ultra essential, but many times it is useful and makes life easier

Really good stuff

Been usen em for years

Instead of using tape to set up your mags for quick change cut…use the tube just cut a little wider

This is scary.

If you decide to use it as a fire extender, do not breathe the smoke while the rubber is burning.

I re-use all my old inner tubes …..just cutting a whole tube right in half makes great lashing down tying up options as they grip really well 🙂🤟🏻

Super glue the little bands together and make an inner tube. Top tip.

Ranger bands are a staple in my load out.

This looks great, thanks, I’m definitely going to try it. I’ve hated rubber bands for a long time because they break and deteriorate. Now I use ziplock bags for almost everything that I would use a rubber band for.

nice

Anyone use a Zippo lighter? Cut a similar length to the lighter and it’s a waterproof seal and will slow down fuel evaporation.

Change the wadding for cotton wool, and if your fuel is done, you can take the cotton wool out, fluff up the cotton wool which you can light from sparks from the flint wheel.

Altoids Tin ranger band trick. Put the band around the edge instead of the body.. You ask why. there are small openings at the hinges. This way the band forms a water resistant seal at these openings and generally strong enough to keep it closed. Although you could use 2 each over a hinge.

Like😊

They make great non slip grips for knives.

Nothing like a Ranger Band. I carry them made from everything from bicycle tubes to tractor tubes.

I made axe handle guard out of them and many other things.

work great on Zippo lighters too. Extends the time the fluid lasts by weeks

I use ranger bands. I don't make my own. they are very usefull

Not necessarily a ranger band, but long strips of inner tubes were the power for lots of slingshots in the old days.

Something new for the toolbox! Thanks !✊

Yes please do a video with this loadout!
