Oh... and I kinda like to fish once in awhile too ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's an awesome tip my friend! Thanks so much for sharing it here! I really appreciate you watching and commenting by the way... it truly means a lot!
Hi John, I had a brief exchange with you two years ago. It’s so good to see others are missing you too. You should post a 2 min “Hi, I am alive.” video. I am unsubscribing from a lot of interesting and active channels because I just don’t have time for all the great content put out there. I am still subscribed to your channel hoping to see you again. I know you keep promising a comeback, so let’s drag you there already. You don’t even have to talk hiking or show your face. Come on your own terms. Whatever they are, they are 100% acceptable. -Sax
Hi Sax, it's great hearing from you my friend. I recall our brief exchange awhile back, and I remember how supportive and encouraging you were (as you are in this message/comment as well). I sincerely appreciate that! I can't even begin to thank you enough for your continued support. Just hearing that you are still subscribed to my channel while thinning out your other active subscribed channels means more to me than you may ever know. It also really lights a fire under me in the motivation department to do exactly what you suggested here... just start posting videos again. I must admit that it's been difficult to get that first one out so I can just get the ball rolling again as it were. However, your comment here really helps A LOT in knowing that there are many others like yourself that just want to see and hear something. That is extremely motivating! So I'll stop the procrastinating and just get down to it and get that first video posted. After that, they'll just flow I have a feeling 👍 Thank you so much my friend! -John
I've seen that more than once myself (and been guilty of it on occasion as well, lol). Just have to be as conscious of fire safety as possible 👍 Thank you for watching and commenting my friend... it's very much appreciated!
I miss your videos, friend. I pray you and Kado are doing well and will return to RU-vid. Your videos were always genuine, informative, and entertaining.
Thank you very much my brother... I can't even begin to tell you how much your kind words and support mean to me. I am doing well and am planning a return to RU-vid early this summer. Thanks again my friend. All the best.... -John
Two cans allows for a space in between them to facilitate the burning of the gases. I hope that answers your question my friend. Thanks for watching and commenting by the way.... it's much appreciated.
Long sleeved solid color T-shirts in the winter Short sleeved solid color T-shirts in the summer Standard blue jeans Belt for said blue jeans Hiking boots Maybe a polo shirt or buttoned long sleeve shirt if I'm feeling adventurous This is 99% of my wardrobe.
Oh yeah, you definitely have to give this one a try for sure man! Just make sure to crisp up the bacon a little bit (cuz everyone likes crispy bacon lol). It'd be awesome to see you do this on one of your next campout vids! 👍 Thanks again for watching and commenting on so many of these vids bro! You da man my friend!
Sweet! I hope that you don't have any trouble finding it man lol. Thanks for watching and commenting on so many of these old vids bro... it really does mean a lot to me man! Brings back good memories... and more importantly, it's awesome seeing your comments here buddy! :)
@@IntenseAngler you’re welcome brother. I feel the same way on just a couple years ago old videos so I couldn’t imagine on a decade old videos memories!
@@AdventureswithSpackmann Thanks man! Using a carabiner for the top eye is incredibly clever dude! Did you do a vid on it perchance? Would love to watch it! 👍
I actually think that they kept this particular design. Heineken cans were the "go-to" for pots like this until they changed the design of their cans... prompting this video. Cheers bro! 🍺
Thanks for the words of encouragement bro! I've actually thought about re-doing some of these older vids and trying to make them better quality. Worth a shot at least, eh 👍 (apologies for the late reply by the way... missed the notification somehow)
Right on man! 👍 It's kinda funny seeing your comment on this video as I just got back from a backpacking trip using this system lol. Still works great 👍
I couldn't agree more bro! Those little blankets are worth their weight in gold! They're so small and light there's no reason not to carry one (in my humble opinion). Thanks for watching and for the great comment man!
Not sure I watched this one before but glad you brought it up. I believe you were the one I first saw the straws from. Those are still one of the coolest camping hacks I’ve seen.
It's definitely an oldie but a goodie, eh lol. Actually it's kinda weird looking back at this vid from so long ago when I had absolutely NO clue what I was doing, lol. Still have this knife kickin' around somewhere too man... crazy huh! I hear ya about the straws... that's become an indispensable lil' trick over the years for sure. Thanks for watching and for the kind compliment bro... means a lot!
Right on man! I forgot I even made this particular vid, lol. I figured you'd go with something fire related though, haha 🔥 Either way... have fun with it buddy 👍 Thanks for the kind words by the way bro!
I have a Ton of the Monster Drink tabs, I saved up from work. The Mechanics drank it like Kool-Aid. I have all Colors. Thanks for the Instruction. I will be making up a bunch of them.
You're more than welcome brother. That's awesome that you have so many of these Monster tabs... and in all of the colors too. You should be able to create quite the diverse collection of lures with all of those 👍 I would love to hear how they work for you when you get a chance to try 'em out. Thanks for watching and commenting by the way... it's much appreciated my friend.
I'm sorry to hear that you're having a difficult time getting it started. I've found that using soft wood for the stove itself, and then a bit of good fire starter (and some patience) helps. I hope that helps you out my friend. If not, don't hesitate to comment back and I'll share any other potentially useful tips. Thanks for watching by the way... it's very much appreciated.
Small wood sticks and twigs work best for this particular stove. I hope that helps :) I appreciate you watching and commenting my friend... it means a lot to me 👍
Here in the INW softball season can take its time arriving and batting equipment these days performs best at 50plus degrees. I use these magnesium warmers in my bat quiver and softball tote bags. Warmer ball cores are less damaging to today's bats and bats are $$$
Now that is an incredibly unique and clever use for these warmers my friend! Thank you for sharing it here. Just goes to show what some ingenuity can do 👍 I hope that you have an amazing softball season! I appreciate you watching and commenting by the way... it really means a lot.
Ah man... I was looking for THE STR8 WIKKED KINE HACKS, MY MAN. Leads me to believe that --> not TOO too much crazy shit can be concocted with the hot hands. I was hoping you were gonna say "put it in the tank.. INSTANT OCTANE BOOST! or...stealthily pour into possible suspect's beverage to gain some diy TRUTH SERUM... Right? Even a little hot hands powder in the bad guy's chili and he ABSOLUTELY cannt get an erection. AND ... get this... 😊 WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LIE ABOUT WHY! LOL. STAIN remover, bear repellant, defrost liquid, so much possibility and i struggle to find just ONE unintentional or just plain ridiculous hack. I know, i'm gonna ask the AIs nicely before they eradicate the human race and reminisce about our quirky ways...
It works but can leave a residue in your stove if you don't filter all the glycerin out. Can also use it to make a clean burning Fire Gel if you add it to a mixture of calcium and acetic acid.
Very true indeed. Thanks for adding in your comment about making Fire Gel too... I've no doubt that will interest/help quite a few folks. Appreciate you watching... means a lot my friend.
Bizarre watching this, I use these constantly around the house and as portable containers, and most of my techniques are basically identical to his. I’ll note a couple of things I do that weren’t mentioned: ( _ⅰ_ ) for labeling, sharpie isn’t very resilient on its own. To resolve this, I use spray shellac, which I use for ad hoc labeling in general (and to extend the life out of manufacturer labeling on some items, e.g. syringes). I use shellac for the following reasons: (𝑎) Shellac (dewaxed, which the spray will be) sticks very well to almost anything, unlike many adhesives which tend to struggle most with smooth plastic surfaces. (𝑏) Shellac hardens entirely as a result of solvent evaporation, and the solvent used is alcohol. As a result, it dries very quickly and is also entirely reversible and can be removed by rewetting with alcohol and wiping away (you can also repair things like cracks and small flaking using alcohol, just make sure you to use something with minimal water if you don’t want to introduce cloudiness, ideally a mix of pure ethanol and methanol, although I use 99% isopropyl because it is cheap). Note, in my experience, Sharpie is also soluble in alcohol to a degree, so use a very light first coat and help it dry quickly-once some barrier exists, you should be fine adding more coats as long as you don’t go too heavy and dissolve the barrier layer completely. I also use paint markers instead of sharpies sometimes, especially if on a dark background, and they don’t tend to dissolve in alcohol. (𝑐) despite being vulnerable to a common solvent, shellac is quite robust, and even if exposed to high-proof liquor, little damage will be done if it isn’t wiped away, and the alcohol may even evaporate before fully rewetting it. Also, unlike finishes which cure as a result of a chemical reaction, shellac is purely evaporative (as mentioned), and more coats can be added at any point, without any need for abrading to create a mechanical bond (in fact, it will rewet and merge with the original finish), so any repair or reinforcement is easily added. ( _ⅱ_ ) to make one end that can be opened and closed, I use other methods as well as what he showed. If it doesn’t need to to seal, sometimes I just cut a long tongue that’s about ¹⁄₃ of the circumference and fold it down back into the straw, which avoids needing a separate piece of the lid. If it does need to seal, I tend to use heat shrink tubing, like for electrical wires, and I seal one end of the heat shrink by rolling it over on itself, pinching with pliers, and exposing to high heat. The heat shrink also allows you to keep a round opening on the straw without creases. Also, sliding it off it off the straw to open pulls a small vacuum, which resists removal and improves security. I’ve also experimented with latex and silicone tubing, but I haven’t found an easy reliable use for them as a seal
You can get a 28-oz baked bean can and burn the liner out in a fire, then use that as a case for your cook kit. Or instead of that T-ware, cut the top inch off the inside of a Tang/CountryTime jar. Now you have a tough case with a lid that's got a built-in measuring cup.
That is just genius.. absolutely wonderful simplicity Not forgetting, you're not blowing in warm, moist bacteria filled air that regularly causes mould in these kinds of mats!
I'm doing pretty good these days brother. No serious long lasting injuries (with the exception of a partially crushed disk in my back). Honestly, the psychological aspect took the biggest toll. Thanks for stopping by to check in by the way man... really means a lot to me. Hope all's well your way....
100% agreed! I would strongly recommend using this ONLY as fuel for safety reasons! Thanks for watching and commenting by the way... it's much appreciated.
I would like to point out, this song from deliverance is my favorite way to protect my camp tho. Motion sensors that instead of turning on lights, play snippits from the movie including dueling banjos and 'you got a purdy mouth'
LOL!!! Now that's an awesome idea right there my friend 👍 I may just have to borrow that one... it would be certain deterrent for sure, haha. Thanks for watching and commenting by the way... it's much appreciated.
From the other videos I saw, the gorge hook was not really very popular... I guess here size matters: smaller is better in this case so they can swallow the whole hook. As a kid even unexpectedly caught a big fish with just a wallnut sized stone at the end of the line. If a hook can be made to be swallowed whole and be made to "stick" (with barbs or otherwise) that's what you actually want to achieve... this gorge hook is by far the simplest design, but one could make composite hooks looking like anchors for example.... I guess there's more than one way to make good hooks 😂
Yeah, in this case size does matter.. lol. It's important to tailor the gorge hook to the approximate size of the fish you're after (as you mentioned). Whichever hook style I'm using, I always remember what my Gramps taught me... "A small hook can catch big AND small fish. A large hook can only catch large fish". I've definitely found that to be true over the years. Anyhow, thanks a bunch for watching and commenting... it's very much appreciated 👍
Hand & feet warmers are such a blessing for those who suffer poor blood circulation in their hands & feet as I do! They last pretty much all day with a little shake & are great to carry around in a pocket!!!
I'm glad to hear that you liked this one my friend :) There's definitely nothin' like a good cup of coffee 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting... it's very much appreciated.
Unfortunately I lost all of the footage that I had of the restoration process :( My apologies. I've done another boat restoration that I'm hoping to get uploaded though. Thanks for watching and commenting by the way... it's much appreciated.
@@IntenseAngler Thank you for your answer. I’m starting a similar project now. Looking for some ideas of how to weld an aluminum bow deck on my 16’ StarCraft. Thanks👍🏼
You're more than welcome brother. I hope that your stove turned out great. Would love to hear how you're liking it so far. Thanks for watching and commenting by the way... it's much appreciated.
