So... I never clean them. From time to time I'll bremush off saw dust with my hands (stroke in the right direction😅) but now there's pine resin that adds a bit of friction, so cleaning them is probably a good habit to have !!
I first thought this was part of a pilot survival kit from the future. It is a nicely designed tool. A quick search for 2.0mm or smaller diameter rods revealed that you may want give clipper mini replacement flints a whirl. If they work for you, you can purchase these rods in non-branded bulk packages online
Well, I am only a few years over a decade too late. Nice stove that would have been great out back of the cabin. We thank you for the presentation. Now, Beautiful Bride believes me when I tell her about meals cooked on or in a wood stove. Oatmeal, slow cooked overnight on the warming shelf was a favourite. Pour some homemade maple syrup over it and you are in heaven. I also used to make it with sliced apples and or plumped up raisins in the water before adding the oats. At least we still have old fashion oats from Australia in the Philippines. That is one food that Beautiful Daughter and Mother-in-law are constantly asking me to make.
Charles, you got one heck of a deal on that vacuum bottle. We have never seen the brand on our side of the pond. Beautiful Bride found good deals on AquaFlask 40 ounce bottles for our older troops and a smaller flask from the same brand for our little guy. A handful of ice cubes keep water pleasantly cool all day. She also found wonderful padded canvas carry bags with shoulder straps for the larger flasks. A rubberized mesh surrounds the small flask and it has a braided handle plus carabiner for a rugged look. The little guy is only in school for half a day at his age. What I like about the carry bags on the larger flasks is the small pouch, similar to what was on GI canteen canvas covers. There is space for several sachets of powdered electrolyte and water purification tablets. All classrooms are air conditioned at the troops school but it is rather apparent that a large number of students DO NOT consume enough water. We have been experiencing a heat wave . Many students get diagnosed with UTI and other conditions often cause from a lack of drinking enough water. There are water sources scattered around the campus and we learned that the school has their on treatment plant to treat the public water supply. We are happy that our two older children are prepared to treat water in an emergency and to treat a fellow student or teacher that might develop heat related problems.
Nice! Thanks for sharing! It is always instructive to hear how things are in other country's and how you deal with it. I wish I could find a pouch with a small pocket on it like you describe for my bottle. I can see the utility.
i got this at big 5 for $35 bucks i have a lot of olight flashlights which are super good but this headlamp i have to take when i go hunting i love it and i keep 2 extra pairs of 18650 batteries stupid cheap, but this thing is great for spotting eyes and for just lighting up whatever is in front of you it is a must buy
Doubtful about finding this product in a sachet. Our local supermarket does stock a variety of Hereford products in cans. The main product is several sizes and flavor variants of canned corned beef. I am no fan of any canned corned beef, not even close to a real corned beef dinner! I will ask Beautiful Bride to look for this brand of chili con carne. Who knows, this may be a jewel for storage, emergency and our troops school kits. Thank you for bringing this product to our attention.
@@charlesartificer2158 Follow-up. Beautiful Bride found an imported product early in the weeK. Sticker shock: Molinera chili con carne, imported from Spain 415 gram can. P527.00, $9.34 USD/can at today's exchange rate. The product feels solid, no liquid sloshing in the can. We are in hopes this product will be high quality like what is packed in many foreign MREs. We will be testing it when all family members are present to offer their taste experience. No question, with a serving of their beloved rice, one can will feed at least the two older students, maybe three if the little guy will try a few nibbles. If it is well received, Beautiful Bride will purchase a few more cans. 10 /2028 expiry date. Not a product we would normally stock at this price but if the troops do like it, we have a winner for the school emergency kits.
Ace hardware stocks the product in the US. So does WalMart. WalMart apparently canceled plans to open stores in the Philippines after the pandemic. We will see if our local Ace has or will order the product product for us. Beautiful Bride says that she has never seen these bars in the laundry supply department of any shop. We had a relative bring two (2) boxes of borax in her luggage when she flew over to visit. The space was filled with locally made goodies for the return trip.
@@charlesartificer2158 Amazon has the 12 cm and 14 cm zebra pots, but the firebox company has my favorites, exact copy of the traditional zebra billy can, with the good metal clips instead of the plastic ones. They have all three sizes 12 , 14 , and 16 cm all at great prices here in the USA.
We have three months of your posts to catch with. Maybe we missed notifications while preparing for school opening and cleaning up after after some flooding due to a tropical storm and water release from a dam. We were thinking you might have taken a break to work on the camper. Tonight, we saw a notification, We have some catching up to do and even a MYOG, our favourite kind of video!.
@@NewHampshireJack Welcome Back Jack I'm glad to see you back! I have been working on my camper project. Have been working on a bunch of stuff in fact but I've been trying to keep the channel going as much as possible here. Sorry to hear about your tropical storms and such out there but I'm sure you're probably used to it living on that island. If anything RU-vid is probably doing its RU-vid thing not notifying people or deleting comments I've been running into that quite a bit. Its election season here and the censorship is out of control. Enjoy the videos brother have a great night.
I found that running two of these at once is better, so I get 20-40w. I also think that the other Marbero 30w panel (without velcro and plug-in being inside of a zipper pocket) was better. Lighter weight and honestly hard to say if one was better than the other when charging. I have a few power banks, but a good one to match this with is the Powkey 120wh (200w max) solar power station, 33,000 mah equilavent.
Thanks for sharing! I looked up that power station you mentioned. I do own one never reviewed it on the channel as I am still evaluating it. I ended up getting the VTOMAN flashspeed 1500 along with the 400Watt solar panel for it. so far very impressed. The marbero I mainly use with a small pocket power bank when I'm out and alone. The VTOMAN for car camping.
Stanley makes some great products. I have one of their Steins with the locking lid, which are unfortunately discontinued, and it works great keeping my drinks cold when i go on trips. When you did the heat retention test you forgot to prime the mug with hot water before putting the boiling liquid in it. also thanks for letting us know to not buy a Taylor temperature probe, that switching off while you were using it was really annoying. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing! I don't prime a mug or thermos because I'm testing how I am going to use it. Most times when I am going to use said items I am pouring the hot or cold liquid and moving out. In other words I am in a hurry and don't have time to prime. Maybe someday I will go back and retest these by priming to see if it makes that big of a difference.
@@AndrzejKaleniewicz Hello Poland! Simple green is a biodegradable safe cleaner that is used by hobbyists and gunsmiths here in the USA. It can remove grease and oil. I use it to clean my outdoor saws, knives and just about everything else. Its great for removing stubborn sap and stains. I don't know if it is available in Europe. Here is a link to it on Amazon. Be safe. www.amazon.com/Simple-Green-13022-Purpose-Cleaner/dp/B0000CFLYJ/ref=sr_1_8?crid=N0SVIRP9PQ71&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.THKOAuqF-FieeO5fJoCY29daNigPSv_xc9o2B2ffJUlu6Xpi1OyX2GewoqTCAxh3KiE6519eR10CekqBnHxRdFY4SpjeUXncy4gOQEPo3K3x-yDxgmKiBf1vbX5dJQAyKG0LUzHS2IXl3Ic7pFiia51xC9-01R86hTkJghM25Gsvb8wWoc33bQN17Q0dxks8pSyiAa3X3dcTxVZrktOnRD04hFzHXsFIlePZRzfbpDQ.urEMREWwPgUD0h6aM0bmS6KxIkGOa9tKFJImSV6temQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=simple+green+all+purpose+cleaner&qid=1723048608&sprefix=Simple+gr%2Caps%2C332&sr=8-8
I do not have the legendary food jar so take what I say here with a grain of salt. But after looking at it online I see differences in size, volume and finish. I also see different spork and spoon options. If it is built like other Stanley products It is probably quality. I have never got a bad one myself and Only have ever heard of one bad one from a guy I know. Fun fact he reached out to Stanley and told them it would not hold its heat more than an hour. Stanley Replaced it and his new one works like the one I reviewed here. Thats the best I can do hope this helped to answer your question. Have a great night.
@@charlesartificer2158 It's the same one you have in the video but on Amazon it says "Legendary" not "Adventure", why? It's the same one you have. That's what I mean
Ok, when I searched online I got some different sizes and such. Off the top of my head I don't think there is any difference between them. Probably some wiz bang guy in marketing thought it was a good idea to change the name. Seeing as how I don't work for Stanley this is all a guess. Maybe e mail them?
you are absolutely right. Thrift / 2nd Hand stores and garage sales are great places to shop. with inflation out of control and food prices skyrocketing it behooves one to shop like this so they can continue being able to afford to go on day or weekend trips locally or abroad . And sometimes (depending on where you live) it might be as close as your backyard. Stay Safe.
@@pp-nf3sv over my lifetime I found lots of great deals at all such places. One just has to get out there and look. Thank you for the comments and Views have a wonderful day
This is a horrible test. The most inefficient way to test a cooler. The air inside is killing the test. You need layers of ice and food to take up the air space. I have this cooler and it lasts 6 days when properly stacked and filled with ice.
This is flash light I got for Declan.. Bought two different ones same price. Thought Id show the demo. Dont know which one is better but this is bigger and cooler. Watched both reviews. You may want to get xtra batteries I dont know. 🤷♂️My review wasn’t as this explanatory pretty cool though. The battery is on charger now its a +LS B70 2600m 3.6v 9.36 Wh- I’ll send actual Amazon order so you can see I kept the one I’ll show order also. Both were good reviews I like the smaller with clip🤷♂️
I agree with you. But we have to take 2 things into consideration. One it is 100% made in the USA. So you are paying for domestic materials, machining and labor. Two we are in a time of high inflation that is only getting worse. Look at the cost of a new domestic Automobile right now. That is scary my friend. Thanks for the comment and views hope you stick around.
I don't own this. My question being can you refill the duct tape with 1 inch width Gorilla brand or are we stuck buying refills from EXOTAC? Their stuff is GREAT but just like all our gear ya gotta think outside the box. Is the thick center of this just duct tape wrapped around a threaded tube? As you know because I probably drove you crazy, I found O rings and wicks and everything but a field expedient emergency replacement brass pin for the TitanLight.😂 I was damn well determined that the thing has to be able to be repaired with stuff that is easier to acquire in a pinch. Cost be damned
Sorry I left that out of the review. The duct tape that this takes is 2 inches wide (5.08 cm). So you could put any 2-inch Duct tape on there or two layers of 1 inch beside each other. I checked and every roll with the exception of the 1 inch duct tape I have is 2 inches wide. So any hardware store, many gas stations and just about every handman's toolbox I have seen you can find duct tape.
That is a very useful item for anyone. That'd be great for the glove box. Is it a quality SS needle. Fire and a good quality needle can lance in an emergency. A silicone band sold on Amazon would work great for holding the thread.
Agreed. I don't know where that company is going to be in the next few years. Since the company was sold I have been seeing others talking about a drop in quality. Thanks for the comment and views.
You should do a review on prescription pill bottles, I've made a lot of survival gear kits with prescription pill bottles, and they're waterproof, float and are a reusable resource.
Got lucky the local sporting goods shop was looking to get rid of these, I got the last one, for $5. Mine holds 26 strike anywhere matches comfortably with a little bit of wiggle room. The roughed up outside of the tube works great for igniting the strike anywhere matches. It should have been labeled water resistant, not waterproof.
If you calculate the cost per serving size.........pkg states 3.5 servings, say 3.......that is only $1.50 per serving. We could all stand some cutting down on serving sizes!!!!
I have the same stove 2years now ,I did not like the no pressure release valve cap ,so I tried a colmans 442 cap it fits ,Colmans caps have channels cut in the threads for pressure release much safer than none at all.
I have been using mine with a 4 amp Hour Battery. I have set it for the 6hr time and when I have woke up it is off but has battery power left over. I am assuming it ran for 6hrs But I have not timed it.
@tylerbarnhoornproductions7506 No I have not. I don't own or have ever used a 3D printer. So I would not even know where to start. If you or anyone else would like to give it a try go for it. If someone makes it and it works please let me know would do a video about it.
@@ronphillips6336 china. Thanks for asking. Seems when I say where an item is made I get people asking why I throw that in there. So I made several videos where I left out country of manufacture. You are the first to ask.
@@charlesartificer2158 Well many thanks for your reply. I thought the box said made in China. I tossed it, later discovered a faulty flame adjustment. Contacted Primus with a short video and post hast they sent me a replacement. Awesome customer service. Replacement works fine. Another question if I can. Should the flame go out of you press the adjustment knob in without turning?
@@ronphillips6336 now that's something I don't know offhand. Tomorrow when I get up I will pull mine out light it up and see if I get a similar action from mine. My gut instinct though is no but without testing mine I'm not 100% sure. Thanks for hitting me up with a very interesting question, but I think I'm going to roll over and try to get some sleep now it's getting late here. Have a good night and be safe.
@ronphillips6336 Ok I tested my Primus stove and it indeed goes out when you Press in on the knob. I then got out my camping moon XD 2 and tried the same thing. No change in flame. I tried out several other iso butane stoves and had the same result. Only the Primus goes out or has a flame change when the knob is pressed. So I am guessing the valve is designed different than any other stove I own. I am not an engineer but I find this very odd and a bit distressing. I noticed that this quirk makes it harder to adjust the flame, as you may press inward on the valve without realizing it. then when you pull your hand away the flame intensity changes slightly. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. May have to do a follow up video.
