Thank you!

Bow saw might be the best way to use the saw, it sure likes to jam up, might keep it from breaking. $20 is no doubt a real challenge to put a useful kit together but might have to see what I can work out.

Not much you can do about predators, if your lost and freezing you are on the menu I suppose. With no trees or other building materials out here you are going to be in for a rough night either way... unless you have the time and energy to build a stone house. Rain could be an issue, but as stated in the video this little scenario was laid out in the dead of winter, spring or summer would be a different situation with different threats to contend with.

Not a bad choice at all!

I agree!

Hmm, pretty tough choice. Both good, the CRKT is about 20 oz the Hudson is right at 16 (heads only). The CRKT can do a bit more wood processing being heavier and thicker bit. The Hudson is a bit lighter to carry with more blade, a bit easier to do finer work. The Hudson to me feels a bit more balanced in hand... but is lighter and can struggle to chop with a few bounce outs now and then, not great at splitting at all. I think it comes down to what kind of work you will be putting it to more and your environment. The CRKT is definitely a better wood processor, the Hudson is more packable and nimble in hand. In winter when making a bigger fire I might choose the CRKT. If I just wanted a lightweight packable multi tool in warmer months when a bigger fire is not needed I would probably go with the Hudson. Hope this helps!

The knife is the big no go for me, the thing is so flimsy I am surprised they can even sell it. Still seems quite a few people buy these to stash "just in case" or give them as gifts not knowing better. They are junk.

I generally post vehicle stuff to a different channel.

Lucky! we have a ton this year, have to bathe in bug juice to keep some of them off.

Well I traded it off so ..... It was a great knife but I found it rarely went on trips. I think it is a good choice for a larger blade and lighter weight for its size, very packable. I did find the handle was a bit too thin for long sessions of carving or processing wood for fire not comfortable to use for long. I did add spacers to it eventually. For my personal use I found the blade a bit big for fine work and the handle too small for heavy work... just never connected with it and had other blades I preferred.

The only GB I can compare to is the carpenters hatchet, and they are quite different for different uses I think, the GB being much thinner blade suited for fine work and carving clean wood (thin blade profile). The CT carver I would consider more of an all around camp tool that can also do some carpenter/carving tasks but less finesse. I have no experience with Tuatahi axes so cannot comment.

Ha ha, well that will do it I suppose! yeah ticks seem to be bad this year across the board.

Good luck with turkey!! Same up here as well, seems the mild early spring may have something to do with it... some places are quite literally crawling with ticks this year.

If you have a good recipe, do share. I have played around with some but not found a great solution yet. We grow mint every year in our garden, I have heard some people use it for bug spray but not tried it yet.

Bugs hate vinegar.,.

@@Scablands_Scavenger A military type youtuber says that womens' stockings, nylons, prevent ticks from being able to bite you on the lower portion of your body.

@@Scablands_Scavenger 100% DEET does not work at all for stable flies (ankle biters), who seem to actually be highly attracted to that poison. Geraniol constituent found in relatively inexpensive Palmarosa oil is an effective repellant for all biting flies. Catnip oil has been found to deter mosquitos from biting as effectively as DEET. Permethrin is a synthetic form of insecticide that can also be naturally derived from Marigolds or other Chrysanthemums.

best I can tell it is the "Brooklyn armed forces OCP Camo Anorak Jacket", sold at Sportsmans Guide... I will not give a link because YT likes to nuke channels for links to sporting goods retailers, thanks for watching!
