Great video, Darrin! It pays to be prepared! Matthew 24:42-51 😊

Thanks for the old man review. I need to order these My knees are sooo toast I’m looking at knee replacements both sides. I haven’t had a set of real boots in years. Looking forward to going again

About to make a plunge. I’ve had perinatal tendinitis and do a lot of coastal rainforest hiking in Alaska and I’m getting sick and tired of missing seasons of hunting and hiking with setbacks. It’s been three years of mostly setbacks.

Thank you for the reply

Thank you for the wishes

Nice video! It was very informative. Thank you.

You do what you want to do with your knives, thats fine. But Im not entirely sure this is the best advice to give others. Especially the reprofiling parts, if I held a knife in contact with a bench grinder that long it would be so hot I couldnt hold on to the spine of it. Thats either dangerously close to or way above the temperature needed to mess with the temper of the blade which can happen as low as 200C (392 eagle units). Same with taking an angle grinder or 2" belt sander to it, it can be done but it should be done very carefully with a bucket of water next to it to dip it into maybe every 5 seconds or so depending on how aggressive it is. If you want to use a pullthrough sharpener or an electric one like you showed, thats fine too. But if this is not something you really feel a need to do yourself and you dont have the patience to learn the skill properly, I think its better advice for others to just have a professional do it for 8-12 bucks instead of going through all this. Nothing against you or your choices though, Im really not trying to be harsh. I just dont think this is good advice to put out there for others.

Yikes.

I think you should have packed a few cotton balls and Vaseline I know I can get them to go off pretty quickly

That’s definitely a cleaner burn and higher flame than the Vaseline soaked cotton ball. I agree that if you’re going into the pristine wilderness, why would you want to start a fire with a petroleum product that has toxic fumes when burned. Good review.

Thank you for reviewing this product.

❤ great video. a sub from europe mate x

Thank you for your kind positive words.

Pretty cool little fire kit from Zippo. Cheers for the info., and hope you feel better soon.

You have a keen eye for those old trails my friend. After many years viewing Mt.Hood virtually in MSFS, my old work sent me across from the UK to L.A. and then up the coast over Portland to Seattle when I was lucky enough to see Mt.Hood with my own eyes from the Fokker aircraft. Regrettably, time/work constraints meant I couldn't visit the area properly despite being so close. Maybe one day I'll be able to return to that magical area once again. Thanks for sharing your adventure on the hidden trail.

We would of all froze to death with that setup.

Use a zippo lighter sir, it is weather proof.

Are you drunk?

lol i thought that tree never fall

love the video, ignore the other comments 👍

Are you ok?

dang dude u wore me out watching u strike the rod. next time ruffle up tender bundle put on a rock or hard surface put rod in at a slant touching hard surface then strike downwards a few times will work everytime and wont wear ya out

As the other guy said, you gotta break it up Way more. And whats up with the breathing man

No better feeling 👌🏼😍

Next time read the instructions so you know what you are doing! Chisel tip is used to make a small pile of fero rod shavings so a spark will ignite them. You obviously are a drugstore cowboy. Any outdoors man worth his salt would have pre shaved the cedar strips, spread the tinder into a nest, scraped a pile of fero shavings in the center and had the bundle ignited in < 30 seconds. You need to take the word “wilderness” out of your channel name and substitute bewildered. This performance of fire making was pathetic. DON’t quit your day job!

Glad to see this review. You did a great job. A few notes: You have to break that tinder apart a LOT more than what you did. It should be in a loose pile. It actually tells you this in the directions. Also why do you sound like you are gasping for breath in every shot? I understand your age and health. But what I am really asking is who is doing your audio? This should not be getting picked up in the video. It's off putting because the microphone is amplifying it.

Shred the tinder up into a birds nest type shape, and it will light a lot quicker next time.

really cool video keep it up brother🔥❤️

brilliant

Love this video. What a pretty falls.

Absolutely no need for snow shoes, especially since your right of the road. 🤡

Lots of heavy breathing.

I did over 20 miles in the 10 inch Mountain Extremes, and my feet were not tired. I was able to do it the next day all over again. These "hunting boots" are superior to commercial hiking boots. They are what hiking boots should be.

Ye pretty cool and kind and compassionate sir To help an innocent creature They have limited ranges of travel because they use a bit of mucus, depending on the territory

It’d be nice to enjoy the snail and not overly loud dance music. Other than that nice vid

I've never thought of the existence of a enourmous snail without shell callled Banana Slug.

Nicely done 😊

Amen.

Wish i was there with you to chop that same log in under 2mins no saw or wedge required

I’ve been there with you Darin! Awesome place to go! Thanks for taking me!
