I am a person who has camped for many years. In my youth I spent a great deal of time outside. Somewhere along the way I moved towards the indoors, family, friends and jobs kept me busy and running around chasing my tail. I married my wife 12 years ago and promptly bought a motor home, in fact we had two of them, class A drivable types. We have since moved to a 22 foot pull behind and more recently moved towards a tent (again) as you can see on my channel. We have kept the pull behind but find that setting up the tent, especially in the fall, winter and early spring months has been a blast. We have both re-discovered the great outdoors, and we spend much of our time outside. If you like being outside or are thinking about being out more and are unsure of how to go about it, just follow along, watch the videos and ask questions.
I just bought one for 5 at the thrift store. But it didnt gave a snuffer cap which was mentioned in the direction on the heater. That is why I am watching your youtube. Trying to figure this out. Thanks
Does the ugly label on your Pathfinder canteen set eventually burn off? Does the black soot come off without your scratching the metal up?I just got that set, but my cup has no holes in the top to attach the bottle-holder to. Did you drill those yourself? And the cuts in the lid - you did those, too?
I saw a black broiler set today at the thrift store that looked like I could put coals in the bottom of it and place the flat part on top of that to make a make-shift heavy-duty grill or stove to use at home. It even looked fine for using in a solar oven because it was thin enough and black. Do you have any metal pot/pan modification videos where you make them into stoves?
It is a catalyst system there is no flame inside it once the fire on the outside Burns out The catalyst takes over burning the fuel as it evaporates with no flame
1. Your Anvil is too far from forge 2. Remove glove from hammer hand 3.work steel at bright orange or dull yellow 4. Bring Hammer higher 5.dont take so long from fire to anvil no need to brush before hammering unless looking for a punch mark 6. That Ball peen is too light for that material 7.your wrong handed (JK about this one)😂
Some models have you dribble a ring of fuel around the inside edge of the burner followed by an "X" pattern on top of the burner. Others, like your and mine have us trun it upside down. I really don't think it matters unless there's a new wick that needs priming. I dribble about 2 oz of fuel on top of the burner and it works fine.
👍👍👍 .. nice. Using what you've got and a bit of lateral thinking. Another advantage is that it is already paid for. Manufacturers and Sellers of 'Gear' will always try and convince one the one cannot function without what they have on offer (quite understandable .. that's business). I'm in favour of 'contained fires'. Here in Switzerland, even during periods where there are no fire restrictions in the forest, the Authorities have absolutely no sense of humour with those who set their trees on fire .. eye-watering fines being, in such cases, the order of the day. A preference for 'retro' gear .. all credit to you Sir. As a 'Baby Boomer' myself (YOB 1950), I tend to keep and use gear bought many moons back. As long as it does the job, it's good. Thanks for sharing .. take care ..
I see several versions of that knife on the website. What version do you have there and which one would you recommend. Dude that's a knife. No wimpy wannabe. Bit pricey, but quality costs. I clicked because I see you doing what I do. Never had the metal plate. Just cleared a spot of ground. That metal plate is nice. Do you sell those? No shop to Make my own.
Does this type of forge(table forge) work for crucible work as well for casting? I wanna start working in metals and I like the design of the table forges I've seen along with that I want a versatile forge.
Love my sage great bow for a even better price. Got the gloves hate them got the normal tab ahhh ok and picked up the Olympic style tab it’s ok I guess but keep going back to just off the finger tips like the feel way better but it dose start to hurt and more so in the cold 🥶
If you run a wire (12 gauge copper is fine) from the front posts to the back rod, it can be used with a Trangia, or a soda can stove. The wire forms bottom to that space, and doesn't interfere with folding.
I like this stove and have owned/used them over the years. The plate on the bottom seems like a great hack to hold a Trangia or other small heat source. However, I have a concern using wood in a thin-walled aluminum stove. It seems that there is the potential to burn/melt the stove if the fire is too hot. Anyone have thoughts on that? In my experience, after making a fire in a small twig stove, I let the fire die down to embers so it doesn't' blacken my pots and pans. That's a lot of heat for thin aluminum. IMHO Thoughts?
phenomenal review. I am so excited to get this bag in a couple of days. after seeing your review,, i decided this is the bag I been looking for a long time. perfect trauma kit. thank you for the awesome, in depth review.
I've got a 515A 5000 BTU heater. Gonna get going after a refurbish. I've got ZIP paint mixed for an exact paint match. W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee
Correct chain tightening procedure - snug it up to the bottom of the bar and lift the bar up and resnug it to the bottom of the bar. Always rotate the chain on the bar to insure it is engaged in the sprocket.
I use my air compressor and an old paint brush to clean up my saws. My standard 180 is easy to start, too. A couple of pulls in cold start and a couple of pulls in warm start. I just throw my chain down on the bench and most debris falls off. If I got it in the dirt I wash it off with old two cycle and blow it off with compressed air. I wash the sprocket cover in the kitchen sink with Dawn and hot water and let air dry in the sun. I also blow out the air box and engine cover with compressed air. I also clean the bar Every time after I use it, including blowing out the oil holes in the bar. My ms 181 is a CBE, so I know how it works
