Showing Tips & Tricks for living Outdoors and doing all sorts of Gear reviews
There is so much to learn in the great outdoors. We have lost many skills that have helped our anchestors to survive. Let's try to re-learn these skills together and enjoy ourself in the time we have to explore this beautiful planet.
Wilderness is not a luxury, but a necessity of the human spirit!
Awesome vid. Helps me a ton as someone who's currently pushing his camping/outdoorsmanship/offroading ambitions to a new level (basically from "beginner" to "intermediate", lol - nothing fancy)
It’s currently 2024 I just came across one It’s brand new Never been used as In the blade has not cut anything Mine has a thigh and calf strap And two slots in front you can for a pistol mag and possibly a small framed pistol What’s a good price to sell it at? Gonna post on eBay very soon It’s brand new The box looks like it’s seen better days Everything else is brand new Thanks for the video 12 years later lol Love finding older videos that are informative
Good video, if I could make a suggestion on your beads. Start all the beads at the top of the cord, as you walk just pull a bead down. It only takes one hand. Your way takes two hands to operate it.
I received one of these as the first place prize from a scouting competition back in 2009. It's still my main tool of choice, and it's survived all these years of abuse without any major chips nor even real need to sharpen.
A great video. I have a decent knife collection and I have paid up to $450 (Half Face Blades) for a single Bushcraft Knife. I had to have the knife you are showing, just to check it out. It was money spent, well worth this knife and at a fraction of the cost. I ended up making a Lanyard for it, to hang the knife off of my neck, to wear around camp. This lightweight knife is perfect for Bushcraft projects around the camp. I enjoyed your video. My next Bahco Laplander Knife will be their full tang version. If I misplace this knife around camp, or when I am out on the trail, I will not get too overly excited, because the cost is affordable.
Here in Urals, Russia it its everywhere and i find it to be the best type of tinders for sure. It is also very useful as it repells mosquitoes that can cause a lot of troubles especially in the swampy areas.
Stuff sack solution DD hammocks ultralight 3*3 Grasp the 3 center tie offs 2) lay tarp out to your front 3) gather - squeeze & roll towards the bunched up corners It will then fit in the sack. 🤠
That’s the craziest way I have ever seen to hang your straps and hammock. Whoopie slings or cinch buckels are much easier , faster and secure. I could have set up three hammocks by the time you set up one.
Nice. Thought your pancho looked familure. I just picked up 2 German military surplus ones and they are great ! $20 each. They are big and thick, but still don't weigh all that much.
I just saw your video for the first time. And am planning on making a "ranger bead" of my own. I just need to know, of what you said about using the "metric system?" I am familiar with the term but MUCH MORE familiar with the other form of measurement, "Feet" and "inches". So my question is this? Will the same ranger bead work the same way, in "inches" as it does with "kilometers?" Sorry, I meant "miles" not "inches"
The metric system is based on 10. 10 mm=1cm 10 cm=1 meter 1000 m=1 kilometer 1 mile= 1,609.44 meters The beads makes more sense in counts of ten. I grew up with the metric system and the Imperial System confused me very frequently.
This is the life I love, only been away for 3 months but already miss it dearly. Spent my whole life in towns with only 2000 people and it’s the best. What I wouldn’t give to be back there one day. This reminds me of my favourite town, a small place call Edenhope about 20 minute from the Vic/SA border, barely any people there but the community is amazing.
Mora is a town in Sweden, made famous by its Scandinavian-style knives. The term Mora has come to mean the specific style of knife produced in Mora. Historically, two major knife makers manufactured knives in Mora: Frosts of Mora and KJ Eriksson. Those two companies recently merged into a single company called Mora of Sweden or Morakniv with a unified line of knives. All of these names still get thrown around interchangeably and older models under the Frosts or Eriksson names still pass through online stores. It doesn’t matter what name is stamped on the knife. The quality has been consistent for decades. The Bahco model 2444 is absolutely positively 100% an old Mora Clipper. The blade and sheath are marked "Made in Sweden". The other Bahco models with similar blade profiles (2446 and 1446) are both made in China and are probably junk. Bahco is hit or miss on quality because so many of their tools are made by other companies. The two you can't go wrong with are the 2444 and the Laplander saw.
Cool video. I have a Tomshoo poncho I can now spare out to any idiot that didn't bring decent rain gear, and I'm waiting for the Mil-Tec I've upgraded to to arrive soon. If you (or anyone in your group), show even minor signs of hypothermia light a candle under the poncho (carefully, applying common sense of course), while sitting down. Just sit still - DO NOT melt a massive hole into the poncho, especially the one I loaned you! - and absorb that heat. It will help evaporate moisture off of wet clothing, and you'll quickly regain your senses. Saw a video of that the other day, and buddy called it a 'poncho sauna'. A true lifesaver for anyone in that predicament. ALWAYS carry candles in your pack, people - backpack or day pack. ALWAYS CARRY CANDLES WITH YOU. Your first form of shelter is literally what you are wearing and, absolutely correct, a poncho is a multi purpose life saving clothing/shelter system. Worth every single penny.
