I used 9 on under armour valsetz you think is the same size o merrell I want to order a merrell but I don’t know if it’s the same size?

Great Video ! One benefit of a stove is that "A Stove uses one half the wood of an open Campfire" ! Also the Bad News is that you can get the stove in Titanium ($$.$$) as I did... tjl

I've been using an Opinel No. 9 carbon steel for ages, and it has never let me down. It's easy to keep razor-sharp and a little drop of oil now and then will keep corrosion at bay.

I tested this out this past weekend, some positives I have with this: Very compact and lightweight for the size of the fire it allows. Large surface area to cook on, I used a 12" skillet with no rack and had no problems resting it on the grill. Easy to move slowly to adjust for wind capture, but I did accidentally dump my coals when I lifted one leg too high. Very stable when legs are opened fully. Convenient rack hook tool, but I used tongs instead. some negatives I have with this: I feel there should be some ventilation on the sides other than the 8 holes. In some wind, the flames shoot out the holes. It bent "overloading" this above the arches for high flames. As expected, easily bent back flat when cooled. The case is very snug, almost ripping the seams. It would be nice to lock legs during use.

Love the updates and info

Your flag is supposed to be facing the other side soldier.

I first. Saw. Opinel. My. Friend. Had one. He. Was. Always. Cleaning blade. With. Steel. Wool. After. We. Finished. Hunting. Cleaning. Rabbits. Carbon. Blade. Very. Sharp. !!

They have a fatal flaw though. The aluminum plate only contacts the material on two of the riveted sides. But through the center. It’s about 1/8” give or take raised. Least on the one I got years ago. An seems like paleohikerMD on KZbin had just the same issue. That’s why his burned through the bottom on a msr stove. There’s no heat transfer happening in the center so there’s nowhere for the heat to go. Except heating the plate until it warms or makes a hole. The little contact on two sides. Just isn’t enough to stop that from happening. Han it been pulled tight before the plates were attached it probably would have been fine. Or if they had placed a center rivet. It would’ve alleviated that problem. So these things have that one major design flaw. I stumbled across his video today and rewatched it. An dug mine up and that’s what I had going on with it. An it was one of the early ones. So I’m sure many others were the same way. And looking at their site. They most likely never changed that issue

You CAN"T get the Companion HD in stainless steel? What are you talking about? I am holding a Companion HD stainless steel in my hands RIGHT NOW!!!

A knife, Bic lighter, farro rod, match box and match book. I opted out of magnesium block and replaced it with a windproof lighter like bic ez reach, butane lighter, rope lighter. I took the wax sting out of fire cord and put it in a tube, Alcohol swabs, waxed paper from a roll of stickers. I stuffed cotton balls into a bubble tea strew. Zip fire starter. tea light.

I get those pants, tags are military, new for $10.00 pair at military surplus warehouse.

9 and 10 are my favorites. Hi from France.

4:14 Hi man, never let the blade and tip of knife powerfully moving toward your body.

I still remember my first visit to the Granite Falls fish ladder 67 years ago, so I was naturally attracted to the title of this video to see the Granite Falls fish ladder once again. I am disappointed that the cameraman FORGOT to film the granite falls FISH LADDER.

👍

did you ever do a review on the red rock bag ? which model ? how do you like was looking for something like that to hook my h20 bottle too thanks

Were they actually waterproof though?

What ever happened to Will? Anyone know? I know he and his family were packing up and moving. But they seem to be the last of his vids

THE WAY HE SPEAKS ABOUT WATER MAKES IT OBVIOUS HOW MUCH THEORY AND HOW LITTLE ACTIAL EXPERIENCE HE IS RUNNING ON...

Great review. I picked up a used one on EBay for $10.00. Great stove for sure.

Great even 6years later

They are both super great knives. However, my preference is their tinier sibling, Mora Clipper. And I literally can’t even sleep without her at my disposal 🔪

I bought something interesting this afternoon. It looks like a small candy bar. It's called a Fire Buddy. It was R10 which works out about 50c American. You light the wrapper. I've got 2 lighters, matches in a TicTac box. I have a tiny container of Vaseline with cut-off Q-tips embedded in it. There's a pair of tweezers to handle it. There are fire strips cut from waxed cardboard milk cartons - dunno why I've never seen these on KZbin - I cut them about 12mm wide and 7cm long. You light them and use them as an extended match and they are hard to blow out. I have some cotton make-up pads soaked in melted Vaseline and coated with candle wax. A tealight candle and 4 birthday candles. I want to get a ferro rod and I want to get a small container of Permanganate of Potash. I'm going to need a bigger pouch...

I'm curious. You riding the wringer, cold, or withdrawing? Love the video, but man, I hate those shakes too. 02:58. Honestly, Yep. Heavy Companion, I tried my best to get the handle to break off the half tang or maybe its a 3/4 tang, batoning? ahah. It can't be done. Use it, Abuse it. Thats the Mora I know, I have some I'm not sure how old they are wood is rotted. I have a few don't touch, my other Mora's gimme some work they say.

Nice video great idea on the zip lock bags … just added 2 to my bag.I’ve seen ideas on contractor bags but this is a first for Sm Zip lock bags👍👍👍😎😎😎

I'm using a echsrt zip top pencil case and inside of it I have a pocket knife with a 90° spine a ferro rod some jute cord some cotton balls soaked in wax cotton rounds soaked in wax some fat wood and then two Bic lighters just in case oh and around the end of my Ferro rod I have some duct tape wrapped around to make a handle that I can also use as a fire extender or starter

The butane lighters will also be tough to get to work very well when it gets really cold. You can warm them in your pocket of other safe way to bring you up to temperature. At high altitude they can be uncooperative.

One thing i especially like about the carbon opinels in particular is the massive shower of sparks that the sharp corner on the spine will throw off of a ferro rod. It's particularly convenient that this can be accomplished with the blade locked closed.

Thanks for the info, especially the emberlit stove. Vikings fan?

Walmart has fixed blade bait knives that come with a hard plastic case and amazingly works great for less than $3 and I've used mine for over 3 years so if your working with a budget this is just something to keep in mind. I also keep a survival pup tent and a couple of waterproof ponchos in my survival kit along with gauze for cuts and extra fire starter. Thanks for the share

They should put a warning on this bag to avoid farting in this thing. That’d be more dangerous than the elements! 😂😂

Just found you..!!! New Sub here..! Nice review…! I’ve been on and am still on the fence on that knife..! 👍 Anyway I personally like knife reviews and pretty much anything in the outdoors..! Glad to meet you Homie..!

Lol you know it’s easy to create a 90 degrees spine on both carbon and stainless, so it works like a champ with ferro rod.

Glow sticks are fantastic if you are surf fishing 🎣. Attach one on the back of your head with a headlamp, that way if a wave 🌊 knocks you over friends can help if needed. Dave 😎☕️

Love mine

Are these composite/safety boots?

What are the boots he was wearing originally?

Loving mora kansbul and gaggle of companion carbon and stainless knives. Back yard farmy stuff! Car, pickup buggout bags, etc.!

💪

4DB has some great fire starters. Many of their products are in my kits. You can tell a great magnesium bar because it shaves little curls instead of powder 👍🏼👍🏼 🇺🇸

9:22 Sexist! Oh the man starts the fire and the woman makes the food huh? Lmao Jk😂😂

Def. check out the thrift stores! I got most of my cooking gear at various thrift stores, including a coleman two burner propane stove for $12.00 ( used maybe once or twice, wasp nest plugged the vapor tube!), stainless pie pans for plates, stainless bowls, utensils etc.

The Kansbol is the best knife for hiking and outdoor use. It is a great wood carver but also works great for cleaning fish or cutting food. And that profile grind is fantastic for so many things. Have owned Bark River and Fallkniven but sold them all and kept my Mora 2000 and later the Kansbol. Fun fact: the Mora 2000 is the standard issue knife for Swedish soldiers since the 1990’s. I don’t know if the army is switching to the Kansbol yet, but the green default colour of the Kansbol makes me think that is the case.

Pathfinder, no chemicals for me...

Let’s go Brandon

Great video, thanks 👍

Great video. I am shopping cookware and also don’t know how to justify the high price for titanium. Too expensive

Add a pencil sharpener so when you find twighs you just shave them as a pencil. The result shavings will burn fast. Inclued a fresnel magnifying lense to ingnite using the sun (although any reading glasses will do just the same).

Put the bic lighter in an old pill bottle, so you can't accidentally depress the button, and have all the gas leak out! Also, you mentioned keeping the bag itself dry. That looks right about the right size to have a gallon size zip lock bag over the top of it!
