Hi Just an occasional look at the outdoor world from my personal point of view. A record of some of the things I try out and hopefully some information and entertainment for the viewers. I have been into 'Survival', outdoors stuff and Bushcraft for years but only now do I have the time and opportunity to practice it and hopefully pass on some knowledge.

Is that a Proster?
Thank you for watching and commenting but I am unable to give you an informed answer. It may be a copy as there are no manufaturer's name on the compass. Hope this helps. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
@@pnyarrow just going say I love a good prostitutorial!
I enjoy your videos, and it make think 💭 I still know something about survival and some ways to find water. Thanks
@@phillipmerritt1428 Hi Phillip. Thank you for watching and commenting once again. Obtaining water is a major priority that is often forgotten or ignored. If survival was easy we would not have developed things like farming. I am still learning. Stay safe. ATB Nigel
Use a felt hat !!!
Just like the cowboys did. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Nice advice 👍
Thank you (from holiday outside the UK). ATB. Nigel
You don't have the waist belt / kidney pad. They make the pack so much more comfortable. I see you attached that thin black strap at the bottom, however.
Ciao Nigel... ottimo informazioni qui !
Ciao. Soon in Germania oggi. Grazzi. Romano in securo. ATB. Nigel
Not 'soon' 'sono'
"3 days without water" is wrong. It is 20C at night here and 34C during the day so more than 12 hours it is over 37C with humidity. No way I'd survive 72 hours. Great video.
Hi Cat. 100% right the rule of 3s is only a starting point. Perhaps it ought to end with "if you are lucky". In Germany at the moment so short reply. Stay safe, ATB. Nigel
@@pnyarrow Have fun! I'm going into the wilds in two days for a week
Some solid information Nigel,thanks for sharing
HI Steve" please excuse the late reply as I am out of the UK at the moment. Stay safe ATB Nigel
although slow millbank bags are useful for filtering water, but you still need to boil it or use water purifying tablets to deal with any nasties. My last camping trip out i used a cloth to try to filter water i was collecting (from a boggy flooded forest), even so some little creatures got threw, Sadly no water source is considered safe anymore, even in remote areas their finding pollution (coming down in the rain) contaminating everything.
Hi Neil. Getting water is a major problem just about everywhere. Please excuse the terse reply but I am out UK and not much internet access. Stay safe and at. Nigel
Great video Nigel I always talk about water . Good info Stay safe in his hand atb
Hi Costa. Thank you for the good wishes and watching. Out of UK and not much Internet access. Stay safe with Him. ATB. Nigel

Hey Nigel thanks so very much for your video great information
Hi Mike good to hear from you. Please excuse the tardy response but out of the UK with limited contact to the internet. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
@@pnyarrow not a problem Nigel
Excellent advice as always. Thank you sir
Sorry about the late thank you but have not been able to get on the internet regularly. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe.ATB. Nigel
@@pnyarrow ✊🏼😁👍🏼
Probably lighter than a Brunton Transit and the features approach a transit. Using with a tripod, no. It needs a no magnetic stand or post, I think they may be called a Jacobs stick.
I recently purchased some compasses that you can put on your wrist watch. Out of the 10 in the set six all agreed on North the other four were reversed. Do you know of anyway to reverse the ones that are reverse now? Really enjoyed your video like all of them they’re worthwhile and helpful and thought invoking
Hi Phillip. Now that is a tricky one! To be honest I just do not know the answer. If the needles constantly point 180 degrees in the wrong direction i.e. points south when they ought to point north then prhaps mark the cases so you know they are wrong facing compasses and use them If they are just erratic then I would take the pain and ditch or destroy them no one could use any of them to get lost. You could however gift them to your worst enemy but that is more than a little on the evil side. Hope this helps. Thank you for continuing to watch and comment. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Brilliant video Nigel. Thank you! I disagree with the start of this video! I have got lost in our backyard twice and once elsewhere on a dog walk. Both areas I know very well. The sun disappeared behind dense clouds and we had stumbled off trail. In all three cases any compass at all would have got us back fast instead of the stumbling around for an extra hour. I always carry a decent compass now on ALL hikes including urban ones. The can show short cut directions on return journeys!
OK Cat I'll go with that one especially in difficult terrain. Anyway glad you found your way back and you learned from the mistake so continue to stay safe over there. ATB. Nigel
Always good to have more than one and to compare them from time to time, like you did.
Hi there. Thank you for watching and commenting once again. And yes one needs to check kit from time to time just to make sure. stay safe. ATB. Nigel
I never put my money on the mobile phone compass,I noticed this in the beginning of those compass apps. Download a couple of them,and they gave all a different northern direction,but it can gives you a general direction. Atb Steve
Hi Steve. Thank you for watching and commenting once again. I was really glad to have the app but soon grew suspicious and now I use it just to see how inaccurate it is. Stay safe. ATBN. Nigel
Great tips and video Nigel. 😊
Hei der. Takk for at du ser og kommenterer nok en gang. Kompass er kanskje ikke "sexy", men de er avgjørende for å vite at de fungerer som de skal. Hold deg trygg. ATB. Nigel
Top notch Nigel ! My android phone compass is also lacking in accuracy. I'll keep trusting my Cammenga & my analog wrist watch (for cardinal directions). Will be watching for your next mate. ATB !
Exactly,try a couple of compass apps and they give all a other direction facing north.
Ciao. Grazie per aver guardato e commentato ancora una volta. Le bussole potrebbero non essere "sexy" ma sono essenziali. Bisogna sapere che funzionano correttamente. È un vero peccato che le versioni con telefono non lo facciano. Rimani al sicuro. ATB
Thanks Nigel I appreciate your video I carry the map compass I got lost last summer and had to get it out and find my way back to the car.
Hi Mike. Thank you for watching commenting and subscribing. I am glad you got back to the car. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
I've acquired my Breithaupt Kompass-I was Issued one during my military time- called CONAT. Baught it decades later ;-) It never occurred to me to doubt it ;-) I bought a cheap one to keep on my wrist. Cheap and good enough to go in the same direction. A big compass test is outstanding, should do that, that s true.
Hallo. Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und Kommentieren. Es ist immer gut, wenn man auf die altbewährte Ausrüstung zurückgreifen kann. Healt, Ihren „neuen“ Kompass zu verwenden. Bleib gesund. LG. Nigel
I used an exactly the same compass into the woods. It works like a sharm if you know what's you're doing.
Hi Robert. Thank you for watching and commenting. I am glad to compass worked well for you. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Nice informative video as always.
Hei, takk for at du ser på og kommenterer nok en gang. Hold deg trygg. ATB Nigel
Thank you, sir another great video. With a lot of useful ideas in simple ways to do it. Do you remember we’ve got a language in common? That’s the reason I said that to use the word that you don’t understand and use words that I don’t understand. Take it easy appreciate it.
Hi Phillip. Thank you once again for watching and commenting. Two nations divided by a common language LoL. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Good advice and ideas Nigel.....very well explained and demonstrated...nice one 👍
Hi Gillian. Thank you for watching and those kind words. Glad you liked it. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
I made a round bottom bag like you did here for some of my equipment. For me that was a tough job to accomplish. I sewed it on a sewing machine and it was heavy canvas. It gave me plenty of problems throughout. However the finished custom made bag was sure nice to have. As always, lots of sound advice in your video.
Hi Lonnie. Thank yo so much for continuing to watch and comment; it is much apprteciaetd. It is great to hear from you. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
My sewing is adequate and it feels good uses surplus material, particularly material that often gets chucked out like denim. The denim for the BCB stoves looked great. 👍
Hi JD. Thank you for watching and commenting. Just knowing a couple of stiches means one can make a whole load of personalised kit. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Great tips as ever. Sewing is a critical skill
Hi Cat. You are right - sewing is one of the critical skills that ought to be taught to all children in school - it makes life a lot easier. Thank you for continuing to watch and comment. ATB and stay safe. Nigel.
@@pnyarrow kitty cannot do it at all. All the sewing devolves to me. I finally bought sail thread and needles a few years ago. Absolutely great for gear repair. All the best. PS just finished a five and a half hour hike with massive hills. Fun!
@@HuplesCat Brill. Glad to hear you are getting out and about!

Great sharing my friend, sending support
Hi There. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. It is much appreciated. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Thanks for the review, it's very useful. Do you know the purpose of the "reading lens or prism" located above the aiming line and how you would use it? Thanks
Hi Mike. I am really sorry I can't help you with that one. Until you asked I had not noticed it at all. I have had a play with the compass and can only surmise it is for examining very small detail on a map. I wish I could help more. ATB. Nigel
@@pnyarrow Thanks for replying. I guess until the manufacturer supplies better instructions we'll never know for sure!
@@mikecobb537 Roger that.
I actually just recently ordered this compass off amazon. I love it already, it's so thorough
Hi Duraeus. Thank you for watching and commenting. I'm glad you like it and hope you will have many years use out of it. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel

Thanks, I really enjoyed, and great review.
Hi Phillip. Thnak you once again for watching and commenting. Stay safe. ATB. NIgel
British preppers prioritize a flask for tea. Americans, guns for "self defense" Nuff said.
Hitting someone on the head with a full flsk is pretty effective at solving problems too! (LoL) Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
trouble is if a brit beats you up with his flask of tea and the internal glass breaks spoiling the tea .guns wont save you 🤣
@@outlaweduk Got it in one!! Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
The inverted water containers in winter is brilliant. Thanks
Hi Cat. Glad you like the idea. ATB. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
A hot water flask or two is critical in Canada in the Winter. Used for tea or coffee or just to drink warm water.
Hi Cat here it is imprtant but in real cold it is as you say critical! Thanks for that.
As ever a video worth 100000 views. I’ve switched my training to fake shtf conditions. It pays dividends
A good idea just to keep on top of things and keep skills alive.
Great info!
