How do you get the pump to work? I DON'T KNOW CHINESE. Instructions are useless. Lefty loosey or right tighty on the pump???

I really enjoyed your review of the John Wayne Handy Book of Bushcraft! Your breakdown of [specific detail] was insightful. Have you noticed how outdoor enthusiasts respond to this kind of content? Your channel feels like it has a lot of potential to grow!

Would be useful to show a with and without reflector comparison in the dark.

IDK where these publishers or whoever come up with these goofy connections for titles and subjects for outdoor reference books. Its just laughable anymore. But hey its not the "Timothy Treadwell Common Sense guide on How to Survive in Grizzly territory" manual😂 not...yet. Reminds me of the Edward "Cubby " Grylls Extreme Wilderness Eating" book a couple years back 😂

Hi there! I like the locking mechanism with the beads. I think this should be secure enough to tension the Ridgeline, because there is a constant and high tension. Whereas in fastening the tarp there is much less tension and with the wind the knot still could slip out. It might be better to if you have the Prussikschlingen on one side but on the other side there should be a soft shackle.

They don't let me play with fire in the house.🙄

I have the same exact freaking battery pack and that little flapper thing irritates me

It's a great video, but the problem is. The links to get the parts are very confusing because Amazon says I'm lot of them. It's not available. Is there any way you could make ebay links to the item too

I was hoping to see a review of this tool, not a rant about American exceptionalism 🙄

Craftsman makes same tool , I've used one over ten years framing houses, nice balance on craftsman out riggers axe. Only 40. Bucks at sears near you. The "upgrades " on Vaughan tools is not that reliable on the job sites , both are good tools just different strengths, and price.

I couldn't figure out how to work this lantern and had to search on youtube😂 Thank you so much for the clarity.

Btw Charles, GREAT UNBOXING VIDEO! Cheers from BC 🇨🇦🤠🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸

I ordered a second one as a spare , that’s how much I like this stove 😂

Love mine!!!!!

That's a relatable, common man, opinion. We don't need a $200 hatcher/ hammer. My Cold Steel does the exact same thing as an item 10x the price. Also, if you care about locally made : at that price, go for a custom made. 🫡

James heard cats paw and couldn't resist..... hope to see a video on the bugout toolbox 🧰

good review

17 hammocks 🤣 I made several hammocks myself, it's of one the most satisfying myog project. During a backpacking trip, 100% sleeping outside, my girl's hammock ripped (a decent $30 jungle hammock). We went into a cloth shop and bought 3.5 linear meters of 40g/sqm taffeta polyester. I made bends on each ends and voila ! Take care Charles, always love to see Kira 😊

Thanks for the video. My daughter got this mess kit for Christmas and she was so excited to open it, She cut the tether thinking it was just part of the packaging.

That's a cellphone pocket

Can’t figure out how to change the razor blade

Maybe I missed it but how are you going to review this and not tell us how long it takes to charge it up using the solar aspect?

Top job showing the strap part mate. Ashamed to admit I've got no idea how to do it haha

Good review. Merry Christmas

does it attract and kill flies? I hate flies

Actually you'll be eaten by a werewolf and killed by a vampire or turned into one. Anyway good review..

Kelly kettle tracker Pathfinder 32 o r Kelly kettle scout canteen cup Pathfinder just my personal I seem to move towards because I have the hobo stove .

It's because the top lip is connected or goes from inside to outside. Heat travels out threw the lip

👎 because you posted a scathing review of the product without giving them a chance to make good on their part.

Hi from a random KZbin algorithm recommendation. Little context/filler if I may... Stanley had a new ceo not too long ago because numbers were becoming dire, the new ceo r"einvented" the brand and one of their hottest/most profitable items is the pink Stanley flask.. They have significantly increase their range into more consumer friendly options, for better or worse. Additionally, inflation has hit everyone hard, in reality the type of 10 year quality you are looking for isnt the 20$ options, it's more like the $50-60 'classic rugged' range or whatevers it's called. I seem to remember some reviews says it's better at heat retention and perhaps made in different area? If I dig it up I'll share the video link but in summary. You gotta pay more and dig harder to find quality nowadays. Very few brands have escaped the consumptionism market model...

German it stands for Deutschland

Great review. I had a couple of good stanley coffee thermoses over the years and they all gave up the ghost after roughly 2 decades each. I currently have one that is barely 2 years old and made in China. I didnt know they were still made with a vacuum that could be compromised, at least not from a little drop or dent. Thats certainly what did it if thats it because mine have been rode hard and put up wet. Except for this new one. But you can just feel the weight difference of the new one and that the metal is not near as sturdy. I dont think id bother to buy a new one until they quit making them in that god-forsaken part of the world. Hopefully within 2 years they will start making good stuff in the USA again with some quality. Id wait.

I will say that swisstech products arent terrible. For the kind of abuse i give it, it holds up well (day hiking and backpacking in the nearby mountains) while the solar panel doesn't really charge things well, it can take an external solar panel and work just fine. I also have one of their non folding knives. Kind of annoying how walmart occasionally moonwalks in and just drops gold.

Thank you for the update. It was your previous review that motivated me to go out and purchase one. Hopefully this is a “one-off” situation. I would be curious if you contacted Stanley about the issue and if they replaced it for you? I’ve had great experiences crotch them in the past and sent them a video of a failed coffee thermos that was hemorrhaging heat years 15 years old. They replaced it with no questions asked. But….you are correct that quality does suffer a lot in recent years. But give Stanley a call and please share back with us your results. I’m a curious.

It's frustrating that quality is basically non-existent nowadays. I honestly think it's by design so that we just wind up spending more money on their products.

@charles, the carbide sharpener I don't AT ALL recommend is those V shaped pull thru things. They are abysmal. They can literally rip ribbons off your knife blade. Ill use one of these or a DMT TRIFOLD ice pick style, and a plain old high quality round ceramic rod outdoors. My grandfather absolutely would not touch a rough stone until he had to reprofile, but he HONED with a ceramic pocket rod every single time the blades on his large frame stock man STARTED to get dull. I use the ceramic rod he carried almost every day. Those damn things will save you a lot of blade steel. And my friend you are absolutely right, you will feel and HEAR that steel "sing " on a good hone when its razor sharp. Sharpening is ZEN for me😂😂

I love mine I've been using it for over a year now but my solar has never worked the green light comes on but it's never charged from it

Bought a two pack of them for $27.00 for both a month ago from an auction! Will make a nice day pack, and keep one in each vehicle loaded with similar gear. Seems like I double up on everything, Lol

Hi there, Thank you for the video. Can you confirm that the apache case from harbor freight will fit this stove? According to Walmart this stove measures 14.80 x 6.50 x 10.00 Inches. The Apache 3800 case shows inside dimensions as 14.875 x 6.125 x10.625 So it looks like it might be pretty tight. Maybe some out there in You Tube land might know that answer. Thanks for the help.

That was exactly what I wanted to know! Thanks very much for verifying the fit of the triflex on the campingmoon🙂.

First! 🏆

well made video!

I say hell yeah, go for it. It would be interesting content. Maybe in the future more people who are looking for that kind of content will find your videos

Would look great on a white or green spartan

Can you burn lump charcoal? Been to some places that had no trees or bushes, just cow patties.

This convinced me to order one

How did this work as a mattress? I will be using in the back of suv most nights of the week

IKR ITS SOOO GOOOOOOD

I sub to several off-road channels. I have an FJ60 but don't get to use it much. I see guys build up vehicles for specific purposes like rock crawling or mudding. I notice they go out for the day and have their fun. They don't use them to go out in the wild for camping and hiking, or hunting. Their vehicles typically don't have room to haul any gear. I am more interested in having a vehicle to haul camping and hunting gear so I can go to a remote area and stay for a while.

Compared to your nomad medium, is the firebox similar or larger?
