Dry Bag MOLLE Modification (Perfect for Kayaks and Canoes)

Dry Bags are great for canoeing and kayaking but typically lack organisation and can be inconvenient to access the interior. This is the solution I came up with a few years ago and have been using ever since. Check it out! This is the bag: quadrabags.com/products/qx625-slxr-25-litre-waterproof-backpack

DIY Firestarters - Serious UPGRADE for vaseline cotton balls!

Vaseline (petroleum jelly) cotton balls are one of the most popular homemade firelighters... but they're messy and need to be kept in a bag or tin. Here's the solution!
The best ultralight alcohol stove you've (probably) never heard of!
Переглядів 25 тис.2 роки тому
I've had these burners for over a year now and they're my number one choice for days out and overnight camping. They're called Speedster Burners and they're from a UK maker called Speedster Backpacking Products: speedsterstoves.co.uk/alcohol/meths-burners.html I've no affiliation or anything with them, I just really like their burners and there doesn't seem to be much awareness of them in the o...

Take a look at the gear I keep on my belt rig for bushcraft and wild camping. This is not intended as a survival kit or scout kit or anything, though it could certainly be adapted for such purposes. Whether I'm heading out for a few hours or a multi day trip, I can throw my belt kit into my day bag or rucksack and I'm covered for most tasks around camp. Included are the Helikon-Tex SERE pouch, ...

One of my favourite times of the year is BERRY SEASON!! I head out foraging and find it is definitely a good year for wild raspberries and I also bag an equal amount of bilberries. After some exploring I find a perfect spot by a river to get cooking. The results are absolutely delicious :) This was the last video I shot on my knackered old phone so please excuse any focus issues etc. I've a bra...
Lightweight Brew Kit (and Fir Needle Tea by a Beautiful Lake!)
Переглядів 3092 роки тому
Fir needle tea is the most refreshing drink I know how to make! I'm lucky enough to have Balsam Fir growing in one of my local woods so it's a regular brew for me. The smell and taste is very citrusy and it's super easy to make. I used my Bushbox Ultralight with my Speedster Stove and my Pathfinder Steel Cup. This is my second video and was shot on an old phone so please excuse the occasional j...
Homemade Firestarter Demo. Coffee in the Woods. (No talking.)
Переглядів 1,5 тис.2 роки тому
On a beautiful day in my local woodland I stop and light a small fire using my favourite homemade firestarter. I have a nice cup of coffee and enjoy a beautiful day in the forest. I've tried loads of different DIY firestarters and these are my favourite. It's just vaseline and cotton sealed into a section of drinking straw. I'll be making a video showing how they're made soon. This is my very f...
Great waterproof version........brilliant
Nice
Thanks 😁
Pretty neat. Yet pretty messy lol But it works. Great job. Thanks for the video
Yup! Thanks for watching 😁
Would it be ok as a cabin bag on a plane?
Hmmm, not sure to be honest but I don't see why not.
Add a bic lighter.
No room!!
EU decided to ban plastic straws so RIP this method
Yup. I stocked up fortunately 😆
You have more containers than you realize. Those peanut butter packs are metal lined and can be used to boil water.
Peanut butter flavoured water 😍 Has this been tested though?? Sounds tricky to pull off 🤔
The tricky part is keeping bag upright. Against rock etc. Not much water but better than nothing. It will boil though. Might make for interesting video as well. 😉
@nextedge2011 yeah it would be an interesting video! Thanks 😁
This was awesome, thank you from DFW Texas USA
Thanks for watching 😁
Just don't be douches...carry your shit out instead of leaving it all over the trail.
Amen to that.
Hello, PJ; Nice video, thank you. What I do to keep the vaseline off my hands; take a zip-lock bag, push the bottom thru the top, pick up the vaseline on the inside of the bag. Turn the bag right side out, put my cotton balls in the bag & work the vaseline into the balls. Also, adding melted wax to vaseline (or mineral or other appropriate oil) is a good addition. Just my 2¢. BTW, I *𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑳𝑳𝒀* like your lighter, I'd like to know the brand, etc., so I can get one. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
Thanks man! The lighter is a Soto Micro Torch, there's a separate video on my channel about it 😁
What demonation is a “pint”?
Roughly half a flagon.
Pounds.....milimeters..... Now I am totally confused. 🤗
🤣🤣
Great stoves, although i found that the wadding in mine shrunk after a while and no longer fills the whole diameter of the stove.
Interesting. Does it affect the function though?
Been doing this for about 7 years now , maybe more, works great even after all these years of storage. Much easier to store and a lot less messy!
Excellent! Thanks for watching 😁
Packing those straws looks funner than prom night.
👍🇲🇾
👍🇲🇾
Thanks for watching 😁
❤
Really well done
Appreciate the kind comment!!
I take a cotton dental damn/plug (whatever you want to call them) and put 3 or 4 drops of paraffin lamp oil on it then dip it in paraffin wax to seal it and extend the burn time. Super low temp melted wax works best and how i achieve that is i melt my wax in a tart warmer. Great video my friend!!!!
Nice! Thanks for kind words 🙏
Great kit. One suggestion however, putting the wire saw right behind your water bag could have disasterous results. Considering it's limited usefulness, you might just leave it out. Keep up your very informative posts.
Great point, thanks! 😁
Warning: breathing the air these days is unhealthy
Lmao 🤣 yeah true, scientists agree!
@@wildnessoutdoors 😂
Tampons and a chapstick, much better than faffing about doing this.
Whatever gets the job done 😁
No mylar blanket. Did I miss water purification
Water purification is there yes. Mylar blanket purposely left out to save space 😊
@@wildnessoutdoors I missed the water purification. Honestly, I teach survival, and I was with search and rescue,bso please don't be offended. Less cotton would help save space. And shelter is more important than feeding your belly. I'm a huge proponent of food in survival kits but with such limited space I'd go with tampons, Fitch the cotton and peanut butter for a blanket. Let's be realistic. Your survival emergency will probably be over in 24-72 hours. You're not going to be out there long enough that you'll have to resort to making char cloth. You won't die of starvation but you can die of expose without a shelter. I'd replace a cheap plastic poncho with a Mylar one also. JMHO
All good points, there's always gonna be some compromise and individual variations. There's a follow up video on my channel that addresses some issues if you're interested btw 😊
@@wildnessoutdoors i saw that. You could put your rations in the mesh outer pocket. Although you're a better man than I if you can enjoy military peanut butter 😁
When the pouch is packed out full there's no room at all in the front mesh unfortunately 😔
Someone is going to commercialize this and make it into a product (like matches) and patent it and people are going to be kicking themselves, saying I THOUGHT OF THAT FIRST (or a long time ago). Coleman are you listening?
Lol 😆
Your 11th and 12th C could be calories and care kit. 😉
Agreed! Thanks for watching 😁
Very difficult to obtain individual sachets of just coffee in the UK now. You can get tons of 2-in-1,3-in-1, sachets in various varieties from many manufacturers BUT pure, simple straightforward coffee, in a sachet, is very hard to find.
Asda's own brand instant coffee, cheap as chips!
@@wildnessoutdoors Yes , but not in sachets !
@clivedunning4317 True! The wee container in the video is from Nalgene and does the job rightly though ☕️
@@wildnessoutdoors Yes mate, you are right, that is my back up system.
The main thing is enjoying your brew in the woods!!
You need a poncho (or two) and/or two construction trash bags for a minimal sleep system! What about a canteen with a nesting canteen cup and stove? Does it rain non-stop year round? You need a real IFAK, especially if you go out alone! A few snacks to keep your energy up because shit happens and things can go downhill very quickly!
All of those items are in my main kit.
Welcome back, PJ, and thanks for showing such a compact and well organized cook kit. There's nothing wrong with instant coffee, I like to use the little sealed individual packets for camping and traveling. Nabob used to make them, but Tim Hortons and Starbucks packs are more readily available in my part of Canada now. I hope you're getting better steadily as long COVID can be challenging.
Thanks my friend! Real men drink instant 💪💪 lol
Welcome back!
Thanks man!!
Ahem....... Strange machines? ah well ...
Strange machines for strange people 🤣😁
In Australia we use cubes of compressed gum leaves about the size of a matchbox. Ironically, they are called Bush Fire Starters. 🍺😎🦘🦘🦘
That's interesting. Normally leaves aren't something one would think of for a firestarter! Do you have to dry them out or process them? There's a few gum trees in my local park, so I might give this a try 🤔
I found the best straws are "milk shake" straws for making these waterproof firestarters.
I get mine from eBay or Amazon 😁
Fantastic idea! Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
You're welcome, thanks for watching 😁
Great video! These old timers in France were stacking tealight candles in a plastic tube and using one of them to start their fires. That and their old zippos and they were good to go for starting a fire. One of them swore by a little jar about 2/3 times the height of the tealight and he could hold twigs over the top to get them lighted. He said it works a dream in wind and rain.
Never question an old timer... voices of experience!!
@@wildnessoutdoors I'm surprised Sir, because I cant think of seeing a bushcrafter on youtube with a candle, but I think it must be a really good idea. Being wax, candles are waterproof. Plus if you get a big fat candle and you only light them long enough to get tinder going (2 mins) they could surely last for 100's of fires? edit: Just googled it, a large thick candle can last 40-60 hours, a very big one (too big for backpacking probably) can last up to 100 hours! That must make for a LOT of campfires
@DamienNeverwinter I keep a few tealight candles in my kit but never really use them tbh
Just ordered one and you video is a helpful guide. Thanks mate!
You're welcome 😊
terrific vid. You can turn the pocket clip around and slide it onto the brim. My apologies if this was previously mentioned.
Yeah, I often clip it to my bandana 😁
C’est
Nice!!! Thank you. I dont like the fact of burning plastic but it is much easier than sealing a cotton round in wax! Easy to carry , definitely waterproof, can store many of these without using much space! God bless you! Jesus is the only way!
Thanks for watching 😁
I m going to try it out...use a pair of chopstick to dip the cotton wool into the jar then light it. Perhaps collect some dry pine needles? I nomally buy fire lighters...I think I want to home made.
Go for it! Thanks for watching 😁
OMG. Learn to edit! What a waste of time. This video should have been 2 minutes.
The Director's Cut DVD has an even longer runtime, including exclusive deleted scenes. Thanks for watching 😁 👀
I've seen Paul Mesner using a similar one recently although his has an extendible nozzle. But yours looks very compact. I use Clipper lighters with the long nose which is only about an inch longer than a standard one, but its good for lighting alcohol burners. If I'm feeling flush I'll give that one you showed a go. Thanks for the video.
Yeah Soto make ones with extendable nozzles too. Thanks for watching 😁
Excellent video and a nice bit of kit. Thanks for not putting the pot on the flame before filling it. So many other folks do that in their videos and I just detest it.
Thanks for watching 😁
How about using a large hypodermic syringe to inject the jelly. Than a cotton ball followed by another injection of jelly . Seal and then you could knead the tube to thoroughly combine the two. Same end product with no mess.
Could work... sounds like more effort though lol 😆 thanks for watching
Thank you for the video, very informative. I learned something new today.
Glad to hear it, thanks!
I wrap mine with wax paper and twist the ends like a hard candy. The wax paper takes a spark easily.
Nice idea!
the nice thing about vaseline on your hands is that they won't burn as easily. it is protective and good for hydrating skin anyway
True! Thanks for watching 😁
I do something similar to this But I also mix in some magnesium shavings…… Just make sure it catches and stays lit pretty good
I've been meaning to try adding magnesium actually, thanks for reminding me! 😁
Nice work. Fantastic way to waterproof!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks 😁
Might be a dumb question 😅 but os it safe to cook over? Or will the chemicals from the started go into the food? And if sealed how long can they be stored ?
It would be nowhere near hot enough to cook over regardless of safety! Petroleum jelly/Vaseline doesn't evaporate so in theory will last forever whether sealed or not 😁
