My favourite way to sleep outdoors is in the Amok hammock. It is a hammock that you lay perpendicular to the trees you string up on. It uses a sleeping pad and it is so comfortable. It is like sleeping on a cloud and great for side sleepers.

Most used and loved piece of gear….certainly my Hennessy hammock and my Helinox chair. Both go with me whether car camping or backpacking overnight. Aeropress and Gregory Zulu 40 backpack are favs.

@@deacondavidviscount7579 I've been looking to upgrade my cheap backpacking chair to possibly the Helinox or the REI version. I'm guessing it's worth the price?

OPINEL…with me during the last 50 years 😊 Regarding Silky, why don’t you pack a spare blade ? They weight next to nothing and if you broke the blade 1 you end up with a heavy useless tool. For my pocket i have switch for the bushcraft blade (the dark one) and I kept the original blade just in case. And for ferrocerium you really should try a ceramic Stryker. It is a game changer in making sparks.

[@jonhughes4550]

I am more of a bushcraft guy than a hiker so I like a bigger saw. My favourite is the silky 390mm Zubat. It is slightly bigger than the bigboy and the pistol grip is way more comfortable in my experience.

[@forestadventureswithscott8777]

@@jonhughes4550 I'll have to check it out! I'm looking to upgrade to a larger saw.

[@jonhughes4550]

@ the zubat also comes in the 330mm I have both because I am a gear junkie. lol. I forgot to mention the zubat is also significantly lighter than the bigboy. Definitely worth checking out.

[@forestadventureswithscott8777]

@ will do. Thanks for the suggestion!

I’ve used a Jetboil for awhile, but just got a Pocket Rocket 2. My Silky Big Boy is well used.

Thank you for your honest review, watching from Edinburgh Scotland. If it is not broken, why fix it, work for you and that good enough :)

Really don't understand why so many push silky. Everyone ive seen has a broken blade. I personally like the corona its better in everyway especially price. I use alcohol and a twig stove. I don't like gas because it's impossible to know how much fuel you have. As far as flashlights i use Sofirn or thrunite great affordable quality lights.

[@forestadventureswithscott8777]

@@richardhenry1969 my Silky saw is the only saw that I've owned that hasn't bent or broke but yes, they are pricey! I use a twig stove as well but typically for short/bushcraft outings. I like using both!

[@richardhenry1969]

@forestadventureswithscott8777 that's interesting. I bet I've seen at least 5 or 6 with broken blades. To be honest they were the bigger blade I believe 7in or 10in.. maybe size has something to do with it?

[@forestadventureswithscott8777]

@ that makes sense. This 5 inch blade would be hard to break. It's only useful for small cuts anyway. Good for processing wrist sized wood for a small fire while hiking or backpacking and some cleanup on the trail with definite limitations. I have a larger saw for around the house. Probably 12".

[@deacondavidviscount7579]

Agreed on the sofrin flashlight, great quality and amazing output. I have had a silky saw (gomboy) for 6 years and have never had an issue. The blades are very thin which will cut through anything like butter, but the thin blade does have its obvious drawback… If you abuse it and don’t use it right, it will snap the blade. I have a a couple of saws and the silky is the best.
