Walking Tall with the Walking Stick

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

I haven’t had a chance to really try it out yet. I did go for a hike. I haven’t had a chance to finish the end on the ground. Want to do something to protect it a bit from splitting Great movie btw. Thanks for watching!

Hey Wade! I just discovered uour channel as it popped in my feed. Tip/Hack for your Buddy Heater. Invest in a Painter's rack. You can find them in the paint section at most hardware stores. If you bend the hooks, you can attach it to the heater as a cooking/ heating rack. Also get yourself a small cookie sheet/ cake pan/pie pan...you get the gist. Sonething to prevent grease, food and whatnot from falling into the heater. I actually made chocolate chip cookies on my heater in my hunting blind on a Buddy Heater. They were the best hunting blind cookie ive ever had!👍🏻😎😉🍪. Those heaters will warm up your little space pretty quickly. Another tip. Get a little batter operated fan and put it on top, but near the back of the heater. It will help push the heat out, instead of it going straight up. If you plan on using it a lor for "Cold Weather Campin" ... invest in a wood stove fan. They run off of heat. They run very silent and find them pretty inexpensive on Amazon. Just a couple of ideas.

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

Hey thanks for watching. Those are great tips. I was just watching a video about the painters rack and fans. Have it on my list of things to look for next trip out. I just might have to try making cookies. That sounds great.

[@CheezeheadChris]

@@wadesoutdooradventures fyi, I used the break n bake. It do take a bit longer than normal and I also had my fan set up to push the heat over the cookies.

C____r C____k campground, stayed in the double site next door for the Thanksgiving weekend. Nice campground, for sure.

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

It is a very nice campground. Appreciate how you typed that. Letting me know you know without telling lol. It can be hard to get sites sometimes. Thank you for watching!

[@tracker5849]

2 coats polyurethane...24 hours later 2 coats of clear spray paint. Weatherproof and pretty. Ive made and sold many

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

Oh wow! Thanks! I was planning on the polyurethane. Didn’t think about the clear spray paint. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! Happy New Year!!!

[@tracker5849]

@@wadesoutdooradventures I use gloss ..Krylon. just make sure poly is VERY DRY. Or can be sticky mess..lol. IM in Florida so summer heat easy peasy. I spray it on outdoor art..metal or wood..overarching paint. On ALL my walking sticks. You might want to lightly sand between each coat of poly and paint. It dries clear n shiny. Looks expensive..lol..but just a tree limb. I have even Woodburn some and embedded stones...just for fun. Even a rubber chair or crutch tip will help the end with wear and splitting. Champhor a small bit around the bottom if useing rubber and place a large blob of E6000 GLUE..(Wal-Mart) in rubber tip. Let dry 12 hours in a warmish place. Happy camping n safe travels sir. I use the marine poly..painted on with paint brush. The spray sucks. All from walmart

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

@@tracker5849 yeah. I used to refinish furniture with my dad. The weather always was a factor. Then I was the one who got to sand and prep lol.

[@tracker5849]

@@wadesoutdooradventures poor guy. Lol!!!! Afraid I learned from you tube and trial n error...figured why not. Tree pieces were free...just a bow saw n some elbow grease.

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

@@tracker5849 oh. Not at all. I cherish those moments now. At the time. Oh no no no. It was getting in the way of me being a teenager lol. Nothing wrong with trial and error. Lean from mistakes and grow. I learned a lot from working on that furniture. Learning the basics. I later learned and appreciated what he was teaching me by doing the prep work.

[@hammockstocoasters]

New here. Fun watch. We’re the type of folks to also cook chef mic mac and cheese via our Jet Boil. Absolutely loved seeing you use a pellet idea for a campfire. Neat idea!

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

Hi welcome! It hit the spot on that cold night. I really like the pellet fire pit. It can be a little bit finicky. Smokes a lot if the pellets actually go out. So you have to be mindful of when and how you add more lol. Thanks for watching. Happy New Year!

[@zanehale9823]

Wade looks like you've never cooked pasta before

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

You would think by watching me fumble with that Mac n cheese lol. I will say. That’s the first time I have used those microwave cups. Without a microwave. Thanks for watching.

walking sticks come in handy for more than just walking, brother. keeps snakes off your feet

Whoppin Stick 😂😂😂

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

I honestly didn’t remember saying that until I was editing. Heard it. Said yep. That’s staying lol. Thanks for watching.

[@JimCuppy]

Hi Wade! Thanks for sharing your outing with us. I'm always looking to add to my Kentucky campground list. If you don't mind, could you let me know which DBNF campground this is? Thank you sir!

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

I try not to disclose exact locations anymore. If you can. Go to my Facebook and send me a message. Same as the channel name. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed.

[@davidkrutsinger5414]

If you would have left the point at the top of your walking stick, it would have made a good defensive tool against smaller animals, dogs and such.

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

I thought about that. But I figured it would still work without it. Also wasn’t keen on having a point with possibly going in trails. Slip fall impale myself. Lol Thanks for watching.

[@davidkrutsinger5414]

@@wadesoutdooradventures I made a walking staff for a lady, made the top look like a cobra that circled around to a point on one end and a blunt end on the other. Saved her quite a few times from dogs.

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

@@davidkrutsinger5414 that’s awesome. Always good to have some sort of protection.

[@tomconcitis9322]

I wonder if anyone has successfully tested preparing microwaveable products in a camping situation? Seems like Mac and cheese would take some adjusting but the instant potatoes or rice might be easier…

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

Yeah. The second cup came out better as far as the cheese. The Mac took a little while to soften up. But it wasn’t terrible. It worked out. Thanks for watching! Happy new year!

[@davidping2811]

[@darrellhoke2199]

Let me ask you this Wade . Can you go two hundred miles away from anything in all four directions . With only a knife a six inc fishing line and a lighter and survive for four weeks . That is called survival . Try it and refine your skills .

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

Thanks for watching. Appreciate the comment.

[@USNVET81]

I do that but only in a loin cloth!

[@darrellhoke2199]

@@USNVET81 , funny , I suppose you were not shown how to survive outside of your elements . That is the problem of today how would you survive if you were lost in the forest by your self you would not. I practice my survival skills once a year I take only what I mentioned not even a sleeping bag , to different locations and I am 64 years old , I am still alive and never had to be rescued . It is people like you who will perish if something happens God forbid . I doubt you even know how to trap small game . Good luck with your surviving if something happens .

[@USNVET81]

Lighten up bro it was a joke. Yes I do know how to trap. I run a small trap line on MY property to teach my 9 year old. No need to trap for any other reason as fur market is dead. I’m glad you can survive you may need to one day.

[@CheezeheadChris]

So... 200 miles from anywhere in any direction, eh? Do you get dropped by a helicopter? How did ya get home? A 400 mile round trip hike? That's pretty damn amazing! What time of year? Where abouts? How do you procure water? Where's your videos showing how it's all done? I don't believe that Wade mentioned anything about survival. He just wanted to get out and enjoy the outdoors.

[@sempergumbie]

Wade, thanks for sharing! Im in TN and I have a bunch of videos on my channel. I think your in Kentucky? have you been out to Land Between The Lakes? Just subscribed to your channel bud!

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

Thanks for watching. Yep. KY here. I do make it to LBL on occasion. I have a couple videos camping and fishing KY Lake and Barkley. Thanks for subscribing!

[@BentTrails28]

Good video man ! Just remember to vent. You probably already know that. Just watching out. I use one of those buddy heaters in our tent it’s awesome.🤙🏼. Maybe we can hook up and kayak fish. @CampsideNorth23

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

Thanks for looking out. Yes I had the corners opened to ventilate. I also have a carbon monoxide detector in there with me. I did forget to mention that I think lol. Thanks for watching.

[@jayburke1601]

Thank you for sharing your little Christmas getaway I like your hiking staff !! I just got one of those UCO candelier 3 candle lanterns it is actually rated for 5000 BTUs which was surprising. I'm going to try it in my minivan no build and see what kind of difference it will make with the temperature. I stumbled upon an oil lamp hack for the lantern you can buy these little oil lamps and put them inside of the lantern it's a lot cheaper than the proprietary candles you would need to buy for it. Happy Holidays to you and your Family !

[@wadesoutdooradventures]

Thanks for watching and happy holidays to you and your family. I will check the 3candle lanterns out. I don’t think I’m familiar with them. Always nice to find a more cost effective solution.
