This is awesome. Very for useful for repairing your old backpack but also just to have some extra paracord on you, as 3 metres can actually save life in emergency situations. Good job. Thanks for this
You don't wanna use that flame protector stuff as a wick. It's made out of basically a type of plastic made into felt. What you want is ACTUAL carbon felt or ceramic felt. I picked up a genuine carbon felt welding blanket that's 18"x18" from Northern Tool for $15.
Great video, Sir !!! I had the same problem with sausages and hot dogs and that type of grill. I had a smaller twig stove. Forgot the brand, but it was about 4" - 4 5" tall. I used the 6" - 9" Shepherd hook type of tent pegs to #1 - stop the sausages from rolling off, #2 - to hook/stabilize the grill on top of the stove. I started with some thin, long twigs (green, if possible, to keep them from catching fire easily), 4 of them, about 8" - 10" long. Doing that helps with things rolling off, or handling steaks that are too long. Just a suggestion. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us, Sir !!! Keep up the great work !!!
Great review, Sir !!! Is there an update video on this ??? I am looking into getting this pack (in Multicam), after having other backpacks from La Police Gear that have served my children extremely well, and me having the Spec-Ops Brand T.H.E Pack since '99 that this pack is based off of. I would like to have more information on it for myself and my littlest son (9, going on 10). Thank you in advance for any information you can supply. Keep up the great work !!!
Yes, thank you for a good video. I almost have my handle finished on my AP. My hands are tired though lol. Took me way longer than a few mins haha, but worth it.
Not sure if it differs depending on where you live, but in Canada that carbon felt (sold as flame protector for soldering) is around $25 a package. I can buy a nice little butane backpacking stove for that kind of money. So if I was going to build one of these little alcohol stoves, it would have to be the type that doesn't use the carbon felt, like the ones that just have a bunch of holes punched around the top of the can. This one would be cool if you already had the carbon felt on hand though!
Hi. Thanks for the review :) I'm considering this tent for a year backpacking in South America, where I'll be doing some multi-day hikes/treks in Patagonia and in the Andes. Do you think it would be up to the task?
Some things you can use to make the holes rounded: - an aluminum bat - metal round fence pipe like the one used for cyclone fence - two inch iron pipe - probably the easiest to come by: cans of food. I remember an article where the author used a 15 oz can of beans. Obviously the can can't be open, it has to be filled and sealed to prevent it from crushing. She had a water bucket nearby to cool down the can because it gets hot fast. If you heat the hole enough and press the can straight it will make a perfectly round hole with both a nice pocket to the outside and a curved shape to the inside. The plants will have more space.
Don't drill a drain hole in the bottom. 1. Fill the bottom of the drum with 150mm of 5mm round gravel. Drill a hole 150mm from the bottom and fit an irrigation tap to the outside and irrigation tube running to at least the centre of the drum or coil the tube inside with plenty of holes on top of the stones to allow excess water to drain into the tube. 2. Add a PVC watering pipe to the side of the drum from the top down to the top of the gravel. 3. Cover the 5mm round gravel with hessian sack or Agmesh and then pour a soil/vermiculite mix on top to within 50mm of the top of the drum. 4. To discourage snails and slugs, split a large diameter irrigation tube, heat it to widen the split and hot glue it to the inside of the lip of the drum so it forms a large overhanging lip. 5. You can water/fertilise the drum from the top via the PVC pipe and the water/fertiliser mix will wick up from the bottom. 6. This not only reduces watering, the water keeps the barrel cooler during the day and warmer during the night. 7. You can cap the barrel with a protective mesh hood against raiding birds and other animals. 8. When planting keep in mind that there is a sunny side and shady side to the barrel and it will be too heavy to move.
You had me laughing so hard in just the first minute and a half, that I would’ve watched the whole video, regardless of what it was about!!!! And thank you, because it really was well done!!!
Have these coming up & had zero clue what they were. Thought I'd planted pretty flowers. But then noticed pods 😂 WTH? I just wanted regular radishes. That'll teach me to buy seeds more carefully, then kept track of which seeds I put where.
How are you liking these beds? I’m looking to build a couple myself. I don’t think I’m going to use the conduit though and just attach a wire between the two middle posts to keep them from bowing.
I have found the conduit helpful to prevent bowing. But if you don't want to use the conduit I would try to frame the sides on the exterior just to prevent bowing. But other than that they are holding up well.
thats col but seriously why not just emilinate the pvc alltogether and just water from top... since gravity will bring water down, all the plants will get coverage.. right?
Oh nice! I'm thinkg of using Tyvek to make shoes. There is a company that does it but, I don't like the soles. (But the uppes are hella cool because they print cool designs on them) I'm a barefoot shoe person and their soles look like torture devices to me heh.
I've done that trail twice, first time it kicked my butt, second time, I kicked its butt. Do NOT do it during the summer, without taking lots of water. Fall is a good time to do this.
Hay I've tried the PVC however I've down graded it and I have to say its good but my shoulders kill me after a couple of miles. I'm thinking its something to do with where you attach the Alice Straps at the top?? Any ideas.
Between the long hiatus and the channel name change, I had no idea you had began to post again. I hope to see some more updates this spring. I found your channel through the hiking, but I really enjoy gardening stuff as well. In fact, my first raised bed just went up a few weeks ago.
Save the other part of the can you cut off as a simmer ring. Just nail, or drill holes in the middle of the cut off can. Then add wire to make a handle. :)
None of the other videos explain this so clearly and tell EXACTLY what the parts are. I’m happy to have found this. Others move past the PVC fittings as though it’s common knowledge when it isn’t. THANKS!
Make that 8. Thank you for showing that weave so well. I just did it and it worked great. I did mine longer (13") so I could add a plastic pipe cut to fit around the handle so the cord doesn't dig into my hand like all my tool bags.
