That was really cool! Thanks! Why the X notch, though? Does that give some pressure to hold the horizontal log? Wouldn't a simple round / saddle notch do the trick?
@BCNW1
@BCNW1 2 ай бұрын
Hello and yes, you could definitely do a simple square notch In place of the X cut. I used the X cut for this sawhorse build just to show another option, and I think there is some benefit to having more material remaining in the joint for certain applications. Thanks for watching and for the great question.

Thanks Mike. Great advices, as usual. Especially liked the multifunctional alcohol tip... Speaking of gear loadout, I really would like to see Your modular setup from Your book in reality and in action. I've tried to build a kit based on that, but at the end it was overly redundant.
@BCNW1
@BCNW1 2 ай бұрын
A bit of redundancy is okay with certain areas such as firelighting, navigation, etc where importance is high and not much weight is added by scattering a few extra items around. For me, a properly set up and thought out survival kit is the key to the whole thing. Let me know if you have any specific questions or send me your gear list for each pack and we can sort it out together.

I sling my knife in this position when I know it will be used often around camp. One of my main safety rules is to never walk around with a knife in hand as you are just begging a potentially lethal accident to yourself or a bystander. When a sheath is hidden under clothing in hard to reach spots, walking around with a knife or setting it down on the ground is inevitably what people do. I have no issue with slinging a knife in this style (Baldric carry) or around the neck which is also popular. If it bothers you, then find a carry style that you find convenient and accessible even when wearing winter clothing.

For a spare bag in the car for unexpected guests or situations it sounds like a no brainer. How about if it gets wet? Down dends to fail in damp conditions the synthetics tend to hold up longer and keep their R value better. Great review. I like these honest simple reviews from trusted authorities.

Thanks and I think you're spot on. I tend to save the wear and tear on my A-game gear and use it primarily when space and weight are important considerations. I also have gear that is heavier but more durable for other occasions. So far, these Unigear products have been great and a solid choice for this purpose, as well as for people who aren't counting ounces and just want some quality camp gear for the family that won't cost a small fortune.

What grit do you consider a "course" stone? I couldn't see the grit # for your 3rd package. Do you use 150, 1000 and finally 8000? So ideally. 3 stones?
@BCNW1
@BCNW1 Жыл бұрын
Ideally yes, I use the three water stones plus a Nagura stone and recommend this setup if you can afford to purchase them all. If not, then I would go with the 150 for the first water stone, or the DMT coarse continuous diamond. I don’t know what grit the DMT is. It is just labeled as coarse.
