I love the outdoors, and will share some of my “adventures” here with you. Primitive camping, backpacking, “bushcraft”, metal detecting is all about sharing some of my trips into the woods, my metaldetecting and my opinion on some of my gear .... I’m not an expert and I’m new to some of it,... hopefully you will like the adventures and you are welcome to join me 😊 best from Denmark 🇩🇰

Brasso reminds me of my U.S. Navy days getting ready for inspection…😂! Mil spec vs civilian stoves …I wonder what the manufacturer had to do to pass the mil spec regulations…😂! Have a great day!
Do you think i can fit a sea to summit ether light xt extreme large (198 x 64 x 10 cm) sleepingpad inside plus a Carinthia Defence 6? Im a small guy that is only 172cm and 70kg.
Thank you for your question. If you use a groundsheet you can place it underneath. I think inside will most likely also work, but the hight of the mattress will limit your space inside the bivy. Let me know if you want me to measure the width of the bivy.. length vise there will be no issues. Best Lars
I just ordered one of these for my Jaakari M, as an additional "pouch". I too was thinking of getting rid of those inner pockets, as they will not serve a purpose for me either. Simple, simple mod!
Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching 😊👍🏻. For me it made more sense to get rid of the internal pockets as they did not serve any purpose for me. Keep us updated on your experience with your HATKA 😊👍🏻 Best Regards Lars
Sorry for your loss. The video is indeed touching. Even after almost a year. The stove looks new and it should have built more pressure. Please use alcohol for priming it, you avoid soot from building up on that bell. Properly closing the tank would guarantee better pressure build up and consequently proper burning . Please do not turn the small knob which is within the cap, especially while burning the stove, this is a safety measure to release excess pressure from the tank, and could cause fire. All comes with experience after all. As someone mentioned, when using a squillet, please make sure the tank cap is not facing you and better using a small squillet and for short time types of cooking. All the best my friend and enjoy the outdoors 🙏🙏🙏🪓🌲
Have one in M05 on the way from the mighty mighty Varusteleka. It looks like a great/simple little pack for day hikes and maybe if I'm clever packing it, maybe an over nighter? Enjoyed the demo man, great work. Interesting to see you removed the internal dividers, I may well do that too. Have fun in the woods 🌲 🌲 ⛰ !!!! 🇬🇧
Thank you for taking you time to watch and post a comment. It's a nice little pack for sure. For an overnighter it's definitely on the small size..keep me updated and good luck 👍🏻 All the best Lars
The cost of the wax and waterproofing wasn't that much. A tarp is definitely an option but I was hoping to get it waterproof to avoid adding extra weight to the tent. Anyway the conclusion is IMO buy a better tent from start, I'm not gonna use the French one anymore 🙃. Thank you for watching and taking you time to leave a comment 🙂 👍🏻 Best Lars
Wow!! Love that oven. I rarely seen it on YT. I’m going to have to try it out. Just bought the same tent but never got a chance to use it as we are in spring weather.
Spring here also, but these days the hot tent is still possible 🥶 2-3 degrees celcius here in Northern Denmark. Are you referring to the tent oven or the omnia oven? Thanks for watching mate 🙂👍🏻 Best Lars
Hi. I have dutch surplus bivy and made by carinthia and it's labeld like the right one. Ykk zipper, (gas permeable laminate), and carinthia made. Got it for 80€ There is 2 type surplus bivy one made by carinthia and one by spanish company under license.
Well this is a great video, however I need to point out this lighting is 100% WRONG...that little cup you see sitting on the generator, or mounted just below the brass valve is meant to be filled with fuel, this is the PRE-HEAT cup, that preheats the generator, so you don't have this explosive fire ball...if you fill this cup about 3/4 of the way , and light it, the flame will catch, and about 1 minute you can then, open the valve a little more, in fact you'll see the flame spreader, sputtering when its time to open it, to get it all going..it will sound like a percolator, with small flames...please try this, and you will see what i mean...I'm concerned to prevent anyone from being injured, great video on this otherwise
Thank you mate, you are absolutely right. I have since been aware of the use of the small cup. But thanks for pointing it out, we are all learning something new every day 👍🏻🙂. Thanks for watching and all the best Lars
It's called Knækbrød ( knæk = crack and brød = bread ) here in Denmark. I believe it is Swedish of origin. Its a bit like a cracker but without sugar. The ones in the video is made on rye flour. Thanks for watching mate 🙂👍🏻 All the best Lars
Have you done a winter overnighter with any of these and if you did, what kind of sleeping bag did you use, ive heard that a bivy ads 10C worth of value to your sleeping bag, what are your thoughts on it ?
Thank you Alexander for watching and your question. I have not used it in negative temperatures. I have used it in early spring with night temperatures around 3-4 degrees celcius. I use the carinthia defence 4 sleeping bag. Best Lars
Trist med din far - håber han havde et godt liv. Fin video - jeg har selv flere af de der “russer-primus”. Synes de er så fede og meget brugbare 👍 Vh/Jens, Aalborg
Hello. I can see the Dutch army Bivi 24 years old. If you was me, would you buy a new Carinthia - XP II GORE-TEX Plus Bivy 1-person Tent.. or a really old carinthia Duch army bivi? It's a genuine question as I'm so torn between going for new but thinner so less quality or really old but thicker.. all being a risk of the gortex de lamenting due to age. What advice tou you guve me as imminnthe market for a purchase and came across this fabulous video ❤
That's a good question. Depends on what condition you are able to find the Dutch bivvy bag. Also are you going to use it a lot or only now and then and in which condition, with or without a tarp? Where are you located mate? Best Lars
@@zufuss Thanks so much for your reply.. I'd use it every night for months.. I live in the UK.. under a tarp. It rains alot here. Iseen this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IFy6fn8jO_o.htmlsi=qCkJwNyilaP6fIuB so a tarp is essential imo for the constant use. I've heard that actual gortex in the carinthian de laminates as they were made 20 years ago.. that's my only thing holding me back.. but I loved the thicker build quality. Idk.. it would be under a tarp though. Best. Don.
I have 5 M40's, stainless steel. They fit in the Swedish Gas Mask bag with all of the parts to include the windscreen, burner, fuel bottle, flame adjustment cap, 2 butter dishes I use to hold the salt and pepper, flatware and more. The bag can be strapped to your pack, put inside the pack or slung over your shoulder.
Hi and thanks for showing us the product like this. I'm wondering a little about the width of the backpack. What are the measurements of the piece of sleeping pad that you have cut out and placed in the outer pocket? What would be the maximum width of something you put in that pocket?
@@multiactivejussivaarala ah OK. Yes a lot of things to consider before you pick an item. Personal I preferred things dos not get to cramp and tight. I'm only 177cm tall. And also I hate to feel inclosed so I don't close my bivy bag fully. Anyway I hope you will find something that will work for you 🙂 All the best Lars
Hi , just caught your great little video. Just wondering if you repeated the test by swapping the burners around , so they tested the effects of aluminium against stainless steel again and if the change of pot returned results with a different boil time ?
@@zufuss Thank you for your compliments of the season. However , I must point out to you that in this case you are wrong. I've been in the army surplus business for many years and am well acquainted with the Swedish Army mess tins and trangia cooking system that you tested, The set on the left, with the curved bale handle and smooth sides all the way to the top of the big pot is made of very high grade, dense, aluminium. The set on the right , with the "flat" topped bale handle and a indented rim about 1 " (inch) (25mm) from the top of the pot is stainless steel. Historically the stainless steel sets were produced during World War II when Sweden had lots of stainless steel but aluminium was very expensive and in short supply as Sweden was supplying both sides with aluminium, primarily for their aircraft industries . Dave Canterbury, the american bushcraft bloke, was so impressed with a stainless steel set that he acquired, that his "Pathfinder Store" now sources his own brand copies. The aluminium sets were produced after World War II when there was reduced demand for aluminium and they are made from really high quality aluminium. Two quick checks you can do to prove me correct is; 1. Scratch the metal and you will see which is which. 2. Weigh the mess tins and observe the difference in weight between the two, the stainless steel set being heavier. Alternatively, you could try googling the subject. Apologies for going on a bit but I thought a more thorough explanation might be of intrest to you, all the best.
Both of these kits looks like the stainless steel ones, aluminum have 2 grooves from the top and these only have 1, you can also see that the handle is not bolted on these, they are on the aluminum kit The aluminum also (often) look very clean and almost white, at least all I see for sale@@clivedunning4317
Das stimmt gar nicht. Zu Hause, natürlich da hat man ideale Bedingungen, schaffe ich es bis 7min, und draussen spielt das Wetter die ultimative Rolle aber nieeeee 19min das kannst du vergessen, "12min vieleicht" kein 19.
Good idea. I just finished putting together my first winter sleep system and I have the same elephant skin tarp. Haven't used it yet but it looks like a good piece of gear. Cheers from Canada.
Thank you for your comment, yes it was stated before... to bad it is missing. Suddenly it made sense it was impossible to make waterproof. Do you know where to find a flysheet? Best Lars
throw some alive oil and bacon /bacon fat in there and then you have something besides nitrates,carbs /a little protein ( veggies are mostly all nitrates ,yeah the stuff they say bacon has that causes cancer lie ,if they use celery salt they can say nitrate free ) ! By the way ,veggie oil destroys cell walls ,fat builds cell walls ! most all commercial ( doctors ) nutrition advice is the opposite of good health ! I'm 68, by the way ,not 20 ! compared to most people that are 68 I'm in great shape , ate bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast /lots of butter all my life ,and partied hardy , I was in super human shape when I was 20 ( 5'7" 150 lbs ) first string linebacker high school , 11B20 Infantry (E.I.B ,1974-1978) U.S.S.F Timber dep. / wild land fire fighting,( gov. /private ) surveying, ,construction ... ! I also planted thousands and thousands of trees !
Have you cleaned out the "burn holes" on the military with a needle? Did it on mine and it made a huge improvement, cut the boil time with several minuter.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. May your dad's soul rest in peace. No material matters more than life, love and family in this world. Let's enjoy every moment while we live 🙂As for the stove, that is an awesome piece of gear that fits nicely in the Jaakari pouch. Just want to mention two tips: 1) Turn the stove to have the control nob in front of you while cooking. That way, the vent valve is pointing sideway and would not cause serious trouble in case of pressure relief from over heating. 2) Pull up the heat shield to cover up the top of the fuel tank when using large diameter cookware (as your fry pan). The heat sheild is designed to be used that way to prevent extra heat from radiating back to the fuel tank from the bottom of your cookware. Cheers!
Thank you for your comment mate 👍🏻 the Hatka is a very nice little pack… I will put up a review with its pros and cons based on my experience in near future. Have a great day 😊 Best Lars
Thank you for your comment and question 😊👍🏻 I’m pretty sure the jetboil is the most gas efficient off the two… it’s quite faster than the MSR so I will assume it’s using less gas to boil water than the MSR. How much difference I’m not sure but I don’t think it’s that much of a difference I will dig into it and see if I can make an unscientific experiment 😂👍🏻 Have a great weekend Best Lars
Oi Andy 😊 Thank you for watching and your question. I think the difference between the the jetboil and the MSR will be more or less the same in winter time. I think boiling time will be longer with both and you also need winter gas for the best result in cold weather. Have a great day mate Best Lars
No need to drill more holes. With smaller cookware like yours you can put the burner at the bottom and put the pot on the rods instead (inserted into the upper pre-drilled holes).
