how to revive it if it green bark

Very nice video. I am trying to create a original saw by myself. This video gived an idea about how to make it. Thanks from Argentina.

My aku boots did the same. So much gtx. Got some Iturru full leather no gtx just use shoe grease once a month and they never leak.

Autumn 2024, just bought this stove for under 14 pounds. Hope you are well Craig.

It's been five years now. What is the name of the other knife?

Random one but was it you i saw today just below the north tower on tryfan? I was coming up just as you and your climbing partner were coming off the east face.

Wow... who would've thought it's that simple! Thanks a lot for this 😊

Hi Craig. I just lost my Keela Hydron😮‍💨. I am thinking of replacing it with another one, or, Alpkit Jura, or Buffalo special 6. If you had to buy a new softshell would you go Hydron again? Cheers.

Does anyone use such a stove as a heat source rather than for cooking? I’m going to get one shortly, to help keep warm as I go wild camping in the autumn and winter, and wondered how effective it will be.

Why am i carrying 20kg for an overnighter 😢

Thanks for sharing.

I agree about a liner keeping your sleeping bag clean, particularly in the summer, less so in winter when you're probably wearing base layers anyway. I'm not sure about using a liner for warmth though. The usual advice is to wear only base layers for sleeping to maximise lofting of the sleeping bag and try and warm yourself up before going to bed to transfer body heat as efficiently as possible into the bag, and instead put extra layers (coat, fleece, etc) over the top of the bag if needed. I would have thought warm socks and a woolly hat would be a better way of boosting the cold weather performance of a sleep system.

Looking forward to see how it did in colder conditions

What confuses me is why are coordinates (Lat & Long) used that way, Lat first (North or South) then Long (East or West), but O/S map grid refs are (East or West, (along the corridor)) first, then (North or South (up the staircase)) second, it seems counter intuitive?

4:18 you're in good company LOL I immediately thought the same thing

Good to see you back on mate 👍

Sound advice! I have over the years used many sleeping bags and liners. The liner is easy to wash and keeps the sleeping bag much cleaner. The silk liners are a little bit of luxury and very nice to sleep in but I wiggle around a bit at night and find they are not very strong often tearing at the seams. Cheaper cotton liners are not as luxurious but do the job. In very warm weather it is nice to just get into the liner and use the sleeping bag as a duvet.

A bivi don’t way much when it means you keep dry and comfy. Or just put your feet in a large dry bag that probably lines your Bergan anyway.

😊 Great to see os map been used with phone application and physical map to develop micro navigation skills

welcome back

I'm a dad that used to work away from home and can completely sympathise in how you would have felt it's amazingly good news to hear that Finley is making a good recovery from those horrendous life-threatening and potentially life-changing injuries I also have knee problemsthey have been replaced now then you being unemployed you've had a lot happened your resilience is inspiring it's good to see you back well done sir and the very best for you and your family

Craig. Great to see you posting a video again. What a cracking view!

It worked. Thank you!

Great to have you back.

Cracking advice nice video bizarrely I was where you we’re standing last Wednesday when I walked up Elidir Fawr from nant Peris I visited carnedd y filiast on route brilliant ATB

Hi Craig! It is great to hear your voice again! It's been a while! I hope life has been treating you well! All the best from California 💛

Hi Craig, Welcome back and thank you for sharing. HP🤟

Tested newly bought Ohuhu stove today using your twig loading tip. Worked great, thank you much, and had boiling water for 4 servings of freeze dried food in under 4 minutes. Just need more practice getting fire started: paper did not work, had no birch bark, used dripping candle instead. Will have to research small, light fire starters.

Good explanation, but you forgot something important. When you use the mirror compass you do it the right way with the mirror about 45°, but you forgot to align the centerline in the mirror over the center of the compass. So you can eliminated som parallax errors and augmented the accuracy of the measurement.

One night walking my dog in our local park I used the stars (Southern Cross) to orient myself and find my way home. This is in a park I walk every day. Basically I had chased the dog chasing some kangaroos and found myself in a vale or dip I hadn't ever been in before. The Southern Cross allowed me to orient myself and know which direction to head in to get to somewhere I could see my way home from. Simple but effective.

As someone who was on ce 164kg and is now at 140kg and dropping... you feel the difference when you're not carrying those extra kilos around as fat.

I did this two trips back and was horrified how much stuff I took but never used! All the 'just in case' stuff which on an overnighter I didn't need and didn't use.

Hi craig i use wood pellets pack well light weights and in wet weather indispenseable oncie it going the wood will soon ignite onwood pellets😂

I dig that time crib card. I went straight to shaven raspberry.

❤

Were you in the military?👍👍

Crap

Black Labrador retriever girls are the best.

I’m already carrying an extra 40 lbs of “kit” around by waist!

I love these stoves. Informative and clearly explained video , which is useful for those viewers who don't have English as a first laguage.

Well, my Alpkit Myti mug 650 does have embossed quantity markings on side. Anyways, with pouch meals just guestimate...... add more water if required.

Update on the mora gar please 🙏

I like this idea for just having a small fire 🔥 near a small tent or perhaps near a stream while fishing or on a frozen lake in an ice shanty. Just to keep your hands warm.

That material is not innovative just like goretex isn't. It is just a standard 2.5 layer raincoat with a fleese Liner. Which obviously performs about the same as a gortex based solution in some cercomdtances except that sometimes but not always the gortex might be able to evacuate swead faster. On the other side you have something like a parmo which has a very different set of performance charatarisics. Where it will be both dry and breadable under nearly alll circumstances, but only if you're body is hot and the environment is cold.

Oh my how I've missed my old friend, I'm so happy to see you happy and well ❤

Also, when properly navigating out in the wilds, you should also compare feature that we see with features marked on the map. Often we can 'catch' our mistakes by seeing something in the real world and wonder if we should have seen it, and how was it indicated in the map and why hadn't we noticed. Or vice versa. It's quite common when in a car looking at a high resolution map, you pass features (e.g.lane ends) and don't see them, and then miscount where the third lane on the left actually is, and like wise you hadn't noticed a lone barn on the map but it's obvious across the fields, and by that continuous comparison you realise that you now know that you missed the lane and should turn at the next lane end.

There are two types of escape routes. Those for when you know where you are, and then those when you aren't sure where you are . For the latter case the escape routes should include a measure of ensuring that it's safe, despite the 'lost' aspects. Sometimes the escape route has to be deliberately 'long' to pick up collecting and catching features! Had a case of a colleague ending up with an 8 hour (into the night) exit after being misplaced on the Cairngorms (Moine Mhor)

Why… why… does the water need to reach the first level before utilizing, you’re repeating others - not explaining

Three other uses: 1. You are visiting an area with no bathroom and you really have to go. Insta- shelter and a small shovel or sealable container. We carry an old plastic Folgers coffee can. Right now only used in our van for emergencies, but this bag brings new alternatives. 2. You are out hiking and want shelter from the elements to make yourself a cup of tea. 3. You are neurodivergent and at a public gathering and are feeling way too stimulated and need an instant privacy room.

Good on Findlay for doing the independant set up on your own. Good skills to have. And must have felt like a satisfying accomplishment. 😊👍
