I'd never spend £100 on a mystery box - so this was the next best thing 😂 and aside from the knife I'm pretty pleased I didn't buy one. It had some good useful stuff inside - apart from that paracord wrap thing that you weren't sure what it was (me neither, I didn't have a clue) - and the axe was a bit weird with the wrench key holes in. The knife seems to be pretty cool though, and I'm sure you'll get good use out of it with that wee sharpening stone. Nice that the sheath had the reinforced inner as well 👍🏼 I hope you get yourself out properly soon, you'll be going stir crazy. Cheers Graham, a nice and different vid, and very enjoyable to watch :)

Thanks Donna, yeah it was a bit of a pricey experiment! I haven't been out for an overnighter for more than two months now and you're right, going a bit stir crazy, fortunately got some plans coming up. Cheers 🙂🙂👍👍

It's hard to say if it's what I'd expect for the money. Depends on the quality of the knife
@grahamswildcampingАй бұрын
The knife seems ok, its a nice scandi grind with a reasonable 1095 high carbon steel. The viking theme seems a bit cheesy but to be honest I kinda like that 😂ATB, Graham

Well ,I think you did ok for £100 , I have no experience with the axe you got or any axe that size but it would be good to see what you can do with it in a new vid .I had no idea they made cord winders I have been making my own for years rather like the ones we used in fishing when I was a kid "float winders " we called them everything ready on shortish line ready to attach when you got to the river bank . Everyone loves paracord so no worries on that score you can't have too much ,nor too many water sterilizing tablets either and as for the knife well I love it I have a number of Condor knives and while I am not a fan of every single design, they do make superb practical blades and damn fine sheaths to go with them as you just found out and I hope you enjoy using it .Great vid nice to see you I just found you today so I look forward to more of your work .
@grahamswildcampingАй бұрын
Thanks, got to admit, the cord spool had me baffled until I looked it up but I think I'll get some use out of it now. Nice to hear you've got a few condor knives and you find them reasonable. I do like the knife I got with the box and I'll try and use that axe for a bit of food prep on my next video. Thanks for your kind words and ATB, Graham 👍👍

I don't see the point of these 'boxes,' other than a good way to shift old / unsold stock. How many of those items did you actually need? Honest answer = Probably none, and now you're a hundred quid lighter. It's just gambling, but you can never win.

Just take a lot of pemican Or like me my homemade charcoal burners.charcoal is light.I use wood off the trail for boiling. But I take a whole lot of thick fattty pork chops heavily salted and packed like sliced bread.they last days.even in heat. The charcoal is for them .my charcoal grill is ultra economy. A cup of charcoal will do one thick chop.you can either snuff the unused coals or finish off with hot water for coffee. People are just not interested in my invention.but I try to advertise it .khantal wire. Or nichrome. The fire starts at the bottom. I make khantal wire net to hold the charcoal and the resulting dry heat flow reduces flare ups.plus its more economic with charcoal kzbin.infog_m2LNOg5zA?feature=shared
