Tagged! My 3 Favorite Bushcraft Camping Items

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Hello Ralf! Thanks for the kind words, and yes, Sepp is one awesome guy, anything I can do to get people interested in the outdoors and bushcraft is a plus in my book. Years ago I did alot of the primitive shelter and starving type stuff and I soon grew to hate it. Thats when I really started to make gear and shelters to take with me to make it a more pleasant experience. Now making stuff is half the fun. Greetings from Georgia and thanks for watching my friend.

Love how you think, Dave! You are one of those rare breeds that can envision something and then actually make it yourself. Much RESPECT!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! And yes, if I can envision it, I can make it!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Hardy! I always try to be happy and good natured on these videos. This is just a hobby for me and I do love it. It makes the hobby even more fun to put it on video and share it. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man. That oven was aluminum. It was pretty nice to be able to mill it all on a milling machine instaed of having to saw it. Thats cool that youve used an oxy lance. I think not many people know what one is. They sure are a powerful violent tool thats for sure. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it I love simple gear that stands up and works well. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Very cool. When ever I go to Chattanooga I always stop in Ringgold to the all you can eat Golden Corral. I usually waddle out the door stuffed, Ha Ha. I live in Rome. Im glad you like the vids, thanks for watching for my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I havent shown that oven but two times although it is one of my favorites. I think it weighs the least of all my cook stoves and it does more. Maybe one day I'll make all the gear and sell. We had a great time on vacation. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Im still using that tree tent and its holding up quite well. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video and the way I do things. There is a lot more to the outdoors than most show. You have to think out of the box, improvise, make gear, make better gear. Where theres a will theres a way. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Hello Dennis, I had wondered where you went to. You have been offline for a very long time. good to see you back. I hate computers and laptops but ya gotta have one. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I had one of them army jungle hammocks and I loved it. I wore out the suspension and never got another one. I plan on making another shelter one day kinda like the tree tent with bug netting for summer use. Take care Jim and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video. Well ammo cans work good but, my only issue with them is they are all a certain size and you have to work around that. I usually just make everything I need out of sheet or plate so its a certain size to fit a pack or have a certain pan fit. I may make an ammo can one someday but I can say that the exact way this one is designed could be transfered to any ammo can. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Hello cody, well I can say that the kit I carry varies with if Im going to the mountains, forest,swamp or wetlands. Also if its summer or winter. I can say that with a butt pack and H suspenders that 90% of the time the pack has the food and cookware or grill. The shelter gear is ALWAYS hung from the suspenders like tarp, and rope. A knife ,multi tool or machete hangs from my belt. Thats the usual set up. I may bring that up in a video. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Bro! Hey, On those oxy lance rods, some have mag rods in them, and some are a mix of magniesum and aluminum, and some have iron rods. They are all made different. You just have to get what you can and see whats in side them after you cut them open. Hey, the telescpoing thing is wicked and you know it Jimmy, Ha Ha. I have trouble getting away from work and getting out and filming too. The saltwater trip was awesome man! Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Brother! I'm glad you like what I do and how I do it. I like to at least be able to try anything along the lines of fabrication. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you like the stuff I make. Well, for now I just do not have the extra time to make any gear to sell. I tried making a little and I wound up almost living in the shop all day every day. I have no idea what will happen in the future tho.Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man! Im glad you like it. Yes, I designed it and made it. I sawed out and bent and drilled a bunch of aluminum plate. I showed that oven in action in a video earlier called "Emberlit Additions, Tree Tent Upgrades" if you have time to watch. That thing works great as a grill or oven. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

They have become my favorite items here lately. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Actually theres several different ways of setting up the tree tent depending on the spacing and number of trees. I think it is easier to understand when its set up start to finish in fast motion so Im glad I got to show it again. Have fun on your trip brother and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Yes. The reason I would is the machete is not only a cutting and chopping tool but it has a full fire starting kit. The cook set acts like a grill or an oven. That covers two uses. The tree tent would be my shelter and it could be set up anywhere theres trees. Even if the ground is muddy ,wet or uneven. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro. The oven gets better and better the more I figure out how to use it. The trip was a blast. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you like the gear I make, I'd be happy to share with a camping buddy. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well let me clear up your observation, lol. I spent most of my outdoor time in the woods, under the canopy of the trees. In the shade of course. And, I always wear long sleeves and pants because of the places I got with bugs, fleas ticks, thorns and poison ivy. The sun never has a chance to get to me, ha ha. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I l love making gear and videos, Im glad you like them. We had a great time on the trip. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

That is a Survival necklace made bu EarthFireUS. Its a small ferro rod and striker. Very handy to have around for if you have lost your main ferro rod. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I did use it once on top of an emberlit stove in my video "Emberlit additions, tree tent upgrades" I wanted to use it in this video but didnt have the time to before vacation. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Yes, if you can keep up with the container and not knock the lid off its a good idea to have scrapings done and ready to go. The good thing about it being in a ring tho is it can hang on your backpack or knife sheath until needed. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it and what I do. I figure if anything is sewn out of camo or olive drab, its not too girly. LOL! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! It took years to perfect the oven design and I wanted to machete to look as good as possible. Some times I make things that work but wouldnt win a beauty contest for nothing, ha ha. I made all three items in this video. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you like the videos. I have plenty more planned, Im just very short on time to film. That telescoping ferro rod was made by a friend of mine. He took a ferro rod and cut it off short and took the handle off a diamond file sharpener and cut it short too. They fit together perfectly. The diamond sharpener was a rat tail type that telescoped back into the handle. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Man o man is it good. I used to always carry some cake mix and butter for in case if I ran into some blackberries. I used to love making cobbler on the trail. I remember one winter I brought some peaches and stuff and made cobbler in freezing weather in a aluminum foil lined cardboard box. It looked horrible but tasted fantastic. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I always just tied the tent up and never even thought about the fact that theres so much rope there that if the tent failed I could still improvise a rope bed. You gave me a good idea, thanks! We had a fantastic trip. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video and what I do so much. I try to be entertaining and catch a few laughs. It would be a wild experience to camp with me for sure! LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Glad to share brother! theres no telling how many stubs have been thrown away out there that would have made fantastic fire starters. They usually throw them away at between 4 and 6 inches. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man. Having decent cookware does help big time. We had a great time. Theres never any hurry or time limit on tag videos. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! The wood chunks soaked in alcohol is a fantastic homemade fuel for cold or wet conditions. I am a Machinist, Welder and a Fabricator. I have several requests going on right now for making gear that Im trying to put on video. I might can come up with some wet snowy gear recommendations but I really dont know alot about that because it never gets really cold or much snow here in the south. I usually wear old military coats ,pants and Rocky Deer stalker boots.Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it. Lucky me, I havent had to mess with my audio any. I dont even know how to overdub. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

That oven is slowly becoming my favorite cooking tool the more ways I discover how I can set it up and cook with different processes and control the temp or time. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, yes, I do have a tent, but its homemade and it hangs from trees so, that makes it ok with me, LOL. Im glad you liked the gear. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well, those are the first rods. The stainless tubing triangles were the second addition and they were too bulky to carry so I switched back. If aluminum is very thin it is hard to weld. This was kinda thick so it wasnt too bad. I love cold weather camping. I hate it when its over 90 degrees. I work more in the shop in the summer and camp more in cool weather. I have two new cold weather shelters Im going to make in a few months and film.Take care and thanks for watching Digger.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I do love making gear. I havent shown the machete sheath much, in just one video I think. I was pretty sure some folks didnt get to see it so I was happy to get to show it again. Jimmy G. from the channel EZ2Curanut made the telescoping ferro rod for me. I think he cut off a standard ferro rod and put it in a lansky diamond sharpener holder. Nick and I had a fantastic time fishing. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Yes you can, when you boil it tho, you have to have some way of catching the steam. Thats the fresh water part and the slat gets left behind as a solid. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked them. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

My Husky is 10 years old and weighs 80 pounds. Shes not a big dog but alot of fun to be around. She sheds constantly. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro, Im glad you like what I do and have learned from it. The mag rods are awesome if you can find them. Some oxy lance rods have magnesium and some have iron in them. The grills and ovens I carry make life so much easier. The legs of the grills help hold the wood in one spot too and that kinda directs the heat in one spot. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I suppose I should one day. I dont really have time to now. I'd have to give up filming and camping to have the time. Im not ready to do that just yet, ha ha. ah man yes on the good ole southern cobbler. We picked and used blackberries, blueberries and strawberries. It was cool when our neighbor used to bring fresh peaches up from Augusta back in the seventies. He used to make cobbler in a dutch oven when I was a kid. Thanks for jogging the ole memories and thanks for watching my friend

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Hello Chris, I bought the pan in person at a store here in Georgia called Big Lots. The name on the package said Cooker King. There was a sticker on the pan itself that said Xylan Plus. You might could find it online or maybe even at Amazon UK. Im glad you like the gear I make, yes, go ahead and make anything of mine you want to. I put the ideas on here so others can make and try the stuff too. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Free is better but I have noticed that the rods from an old oxy lance are a more pure magniesum. And the rods are easier to scrape into shavings too. Scrapyards, junkyards and metal fab shops may all have stubs left over. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thank you Ron! I used to be pretty bad about just slapping together a bunch of junk into a back pack and heading out. I kinda like to carry better stuff and get a little more comfortable. Im no spring chicken ya know, Ha Ha. More videos on the way. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Rob. I filmed this before I left but waited to upload it. We had a great time and caught lots of fish. Time to go back to work,lol. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool! Getting you thinking is always a good thing, ha ha. Lots of ideas to make you wanna make gear. I would hope that Flathead and Bignose would be very happy to see all the gear Ive made. They were the masters of making very junky things into very useful items. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Yes, its called a Dakota fire pit. I have used one for years. I had a special built shelter that went along with a Dakota pit that I used alot. It wore out and I havent built another one. I plan on building a new one with a tarp an aluminum frame and I plan on making a video of doing it. I just havent got around to it yet. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thats cool to hear. Only those that own an SP8 know how great they are. I still love using mine. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Bro! I'll admit, it was kinda hard to narrow it down to just three. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ah man, thats a tough one. Id have to say for summer its a Tarp Bunk Shelter. For winter a Snake hole pit shelter and for a swamp or wetland a rope bed and a tarp cover. Kinda tough to narrow it down to three. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Funny thing, I was always the young guy in the shop and all the old dudes always brought bearings, drill bit and taps and said read what the numbers are on this. They all said when you hit 40, you wont be able to see. Oh well, they were right. I cant see much without them reading glasses. I need some tactical looking ones ,ha ha. Oh, I love to cook and eat both just as well. That machete is beyond a hoss. Its the mack daddy, LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro! I honestly think Im nearing a point where I have more gear homemade than storebought. I'd like to have all homemade gear but theres just too much cool stuff to buy, ha ha. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I have always loved making gear. I have used a hobo stove, a tuna can steamer and a store bought alcohol stove in videos before. I try to keep the homemade gasifiers and alcohol stoves out of my videos because theres always an argument or war going on between makers and designers. Knife makers get along great, I havent figured out why the stove makers attack each other so much. I do love gasifiers tho. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I actually think I could do well just making the gear in my shop and selling it myself. Bad part is I would have to give up filming and camping to have the time to devote to it. Im not ready to do that just yet,lol. I may one day tho. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man. The oven is pretty nice to cook with. I had never hear of that vortex oven so I looked it up. Man, that is one awesome oven. I see why you want it. I havent found the tipis yet, I'll keep looking for them. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Man, thank you. Thats a huge compliment. I just consider myself a guy that likes making stuff. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! It is a very cool set up and theres no welding involved. Just sawing some plates out , slotting and drilling and its done. Now that sounds awesome on your next vid. I know you have a good bug out bag and can work out of it anyday. Having a bunch of stuff thats unfamilar is double the fun. Cant wait to see it, send it to me when its done so I dont miss it. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man! I filmed this before I left but decided to just wait and upload it after I got home so I could keep up with the comments. I had a great time. We caught lots of fish. Nick caught one that was close to 20 pounds. It was an awesome trip. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

As far as an oven goes, the only decent cheap oven I know of is the Bemco backpacker oven for 50 bucks. I say oven as in a baking oven. What they called a stove is a different story. Esbit makes a folding stove you can put a pot or pan on for around 10 bucks. My favorite cheap cook set is called a Swiss Ranger Volcano stove. It comes with a cup to cook with for around 20 bucks. Look them up on amazon or google shopping. Hope that helps, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro! well, the machete was kinda tiresome to use at first until I figured out you dont have to swing it hard at all. It gets the job done with very little swinging force. I had a great time on the fishing trip. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

The bottom was a double layered heavy cotton and the side were an elastic breathable polyester. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! That tent is very fun to sleep in and great to show off. Most folks think its cool looking. That machete is 3 pounds. I never carry it on long trips just short ones and overnighters. I usually carry it on my pack when Im on the trail. Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I do love making gear. I filmed this before I left but I decided to wait and upload it until I got back. I had a great time. I brought my camera but the boat rocked very very bad and the waves kept coming over the deck so I didnt get a chance to film anything. I had fun tho. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it all but I never make gear to sell. I got into a bind trying to make a sell stuff and I just dont have time to. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well, as of right now I do not make any to sell. That oven has no welding so its actually pretty easy to make with a jigsaw and a hand drill. The bends can be made by folding it over a benchtop with 2x4s and C-clamps. I showed it in another video called "Emberlti additions, tree tent upgrades" if you need a closer look. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I dont have time to make anything to sell right now but there may come a day when I stop filming and stop camping and devote time to making gear to sell. Bad thing is I bet it will take every second of my spare time. I'll let everyone know in a video if I plan on selling gear. In the mean time Im making videos and loving life! Ha Ha. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@richardjones990]

As someone once said, "Now That's a Knife". What a beast and its beautiful!!!! Nice work on that baby.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Richard! I'm happy you liked it

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it, thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

No, my brother gave me the shirt. Im not sure where he got it. He muscled up at the time and outgrew it, ha ha. The tree tent is fantastic to have along. Ive hung it just about everywhere you could think of. Im glad you liked the video, thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I never wear watches, rings or necklaces but that survival lanyard is so cool I love wearing it. I plan on using it in a video soon. I have a video now thats been "Tagged " to the back burner for two months now. After it, I'll probably use it then. I dont see how anyone could use it with their feet. Now thats a skill! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man! I take cooking and eating pretty serious, ha ha. Thats not charred tissue. Its whats called Carbon fiber felt. When I first made the grill, the flames and heat came up through the bottom hole. So did the soot. I use the open hole for the grill now but I cove it with the carbon fiber when I use the lid and cook like an oven. Yes, it totally stops the soot. You can buy carbon fiber felt at home depot if you need some. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you like the videos. Right now, no. I have no plans to make or sell anything. I work full time and have youtube as just a hobby. Theres no spare time to make and sell gear right now. Who knows what will happen in the future tho. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! That would be awesome if I had more. These videos are alot of work so it would be great if more folks would watch. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro! I love this gear I showed here. I think I could get by in almost any environment with this stuff. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well the triangle bars werent too heavy, they were just way way too big and bulky for backpacking. They need to break down some how. Yes, the carbon fiber does stop the smoke but it lets the heat in and keeps the soot out. I did harass a few crabs on the beach, lol. The fishing was fun. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

How cool! Its great that you have used one first hand. The powerful violent cutting force of an oxy lance is incredible. I bet you could have made a fortune off selling those stubs. I think they are 4 or 6 feet new and they have mag rods the full length. I dont know how much it would be to buy a new one. We had a great time on the trip and caught tons of fish while we were there. I didnt get to film anything tho, too many waves and too much water coming onboard. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool, Im glad you learned stuff. When you go looking for the mag rods they come in an oxygen lance. We had a fantastic vacation. I waited to upload this one until I got back so I could keep up with the comments,lol. Take care vinny and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Ah come on now, Im not a legend. Legends have their own TV shows. LOL. Im glad you like the videos, I have a ball making them. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Darren! I dont know about the James Bond stuff, He gets to chase women while other folks make his gear, I have to make my own, Hah Ha Ha. I had a great time on vacation, caught some big fish too. I filmed this before I left but I decided to wait to upload it until after I got back or I'd never catch up on comments. Thanks for the tag, I got to show off some homemade gear which is always fun to do. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I doubt it. I know alot of knife makers can whip out batches of knives quick but for me, making machetes take way way too much time. I work a full time job with alot of overtime so theres not much time left. Making this machete was pretty rough itself, lol. If I ever have more time I might tho. I dont think theres any machetes this big on the market. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, Very cool that you have learned stuff from me. My favorites always change too. Especially depending on if its winter or summer. I didnt even know you put together a bowl cooking kit. Thats very cool. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro. We went and caught less on the boat than we did in a WMA. There was a lake there with brackish water in a marsh and it was loaded with redfish. Bummer in the boat but we had a great time at that marsh. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I suppose right off the top of my head I'd say 50% of my gear is homemade. That includes cutting tools, shelter and cookware. I think I only have two stoves that are store bought and at least 10 that are homemade grills,ovens or stoves. Making the gear is half the fun too. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I might could, I'm not really sure. Most of this stuff takes a lot of time to make and the materials are always pretty high. I'm betting the profits would be kinda small. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ah man, I wish I could. I'd love to make all this stuff and sell but I really cant quit my job and go into business. I believe right now the economy is too bad and theres too much competition out there now. Now I can say this, I made that tree tent in a start to finish video called "Making the tree tent, a follow along DIY project. If you know someone that can sew they can make three for you easily. I love sharing all my ideas. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ho, I havent done a tour. The place is usually a huge mess and I have no idea how long it would take to show it all. I figure I will eventually show it all because I have so many projects planned for in the shop. Im glad you liked it, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im already back, that was quick, ha ha. I actually filmed this one before I left and waited to upload it until We got back. We had a great time. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro. They are alot of fun to go camping with. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, I bet its big enough for Elephant hunting. I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

We had a great time fishing. We caught lots of redfish and Nicks was almost 20 pounds. A record for him. I bet that was a cool trip to Puerto Vallarta. Im never been that far south before. Survivor is a cool show. Too much audience gross shock factor tho for me to be on there. I gotta have my camp food, lol. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'll try to squeeze her into a vid sometime. Shes a really good dog.She sleeps with me every night and gets fur every where. LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thats pretty cool man! Yep, I noticed the blue coolant hoses in your avatar pic so I knew you had something to do with machining. I dont do much CNC anymore. Im a manual machinist now. I have been a machinist since 1989. I use the old end mill containers for everything. I love the big ones that the MT 50 end mill holders come in. those can hold a whole kit. Good to meet you man. Thanks for watching.
