Bushcraft Basics The Best way to Prevent Poison Oak or Ivy Rash
Very good review. That book looks like a book I want to read and I don’t even own a Swiss army knife. I guess I’ll be heading to my local Ollie’s to get one and then after reading, I’ll treat myself to a Swiss Army knife purchase for Xmas. Thank you for a well rounded and informative book review.
Szkoda, że bardzo szybko się nagrzewa
Hey where can I get replacement of the pins?
I subscribed because you are into vans and I would like a Cat Review.
Just brought mine in local store 45euros
@Rimtatvora nice I hope you enjoy it have a great day or night Wherever You Are!
Has one delivered today, thought to check it's operation,came across your clip for 24 minutes,nearly dismissed it anyway too long for a stove"thouht again let's give a try".Every step in the clip was useful, informative and contrary to my first impression "short,informative, very well presented many thanks
@@marginal5774 thank you for the kind words I really appreciate it. Have a great day or night wherever you may be.
Quite an excellent detailed video! I suscribed just on a whim seeing the big Hoo Haa over Exotec was. It felt I was listening to one of my good camping buds .
@@Goomba-n3b well thanks for the subscription I really appreciate it. And if you feel like I'm one of your old camping buds I count that as High Praise. I hope you stick around brother you have a good night or day wherever you are in the world.
If you were to cook meat/food over the flame, would it absorb any fumes from the heet fuel? Like making it poisonous?
@@1217mikegrs I assume what you're asking is flame directly on the meat. Yes if you were to do that it will absorb any fumes possibly making it poisonous. I wouldn't cook any meat directly over a flame on any kind of camping stove it's not a good idea. The only thing I would cook meat directly over flame is a campfire. Everything else should be cooked in a fry pan or other container. Hope this answers your question have a great day
Great improvement, and I like the molle application too. Thanks
@NoNotThatPaul glad you found it useful, thanks for the comment and Views have a great night!
just a small trick, for any screwing tap, just first lightly press on the thread, unscrewing, it will then find the good position ;) another thing, please mention temperature of the water before boiling, changes everything about boiling time ;)
It is rare to see a guy answering to all questions ! kudos ! I wish you tons of subscribers.

Great one, Charles ! You can add some boiled linseed oil before storing 🫡
@@ARAW-__- that might work but boiled linseed oil will cure and Harden over time I'm not sure what that would do to the fire starter. All this talk of oil from you sir now you're going to have to make me do a video where I experiment with different oils see what you did. Have a good night brother I hope everything is well over there.
@charlesartificer2158 Haha, thanks, Charles ! Sorry I missed your reply. I did something wrong with my settings. For the boiled linseed oil, we need some tests 😁 take care.

Straws are paper now, thanks Trudeau, or should we thank the 10? year old that made up plastic straws are environmental unfriendly. Can't imagine carrying D cells for this light, a lot heavy!
@Rfx372 Sorry to hear that. Here in Michigan you can still get these milkshake straws in stores. In fact I just seen some yesterday when I was shopping. D cells can be heavy but they have great run time. I don't take these old mill spec flashlights into the woods much anymore. I mainly use a sofrin hs10 headlamp. thanks for the comments and views.
I was into making alcohol stoves a few years ago, probably had 150 in my garage. Tossed them a year ago, only a handful left. We lost power from both Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and I was able to bool water for my roommate's tea and my coffee in the mornings. Only thing that kept us sane.
@xenaguy01 Its funny how something like a hot drink or food can make all the difference in the world when you don't have any for a while. Thanks for the comment and views.
I have my old brass Svea from back in the early ‘70s. I like the stainless steel copy too. Seems like the silent head is not silent and doesn’t heat up to enough BTUs. Maybe the silent head is just for warming. Seems like electrolytic corrosion is a thing. Wonder how they avoid this? The sharp edges might cause a cut finger. A little round file is the solution. Is a pressure relief valve needed? Thank you for this demonstration and commentary…from an old vet, retired in the foothills of the Smokies.
@@papajeff5486 thanks for the comment and Views brother. I hope you had a good veterans day.
Thank you for this video. I had somehow lost the set screw and didn’t have any spring to the slide bolt.
@MrSupertim996 I'm glad you found it useful did you get your shovel fixed?
compltely missed this when I got mine
@paytreonsuhks you can always order it later along with the new tools when they are released later this month.

Great job! Thanks so much for this!
@@dennispeterson3691 no problem glad you enjoyed it
Can u use the bottle for gasoline or is it just for alcohol Fuel ??
@shiguresempi3798 The manufacturer says nothing about gasoline on the bottle. They only mention Alcohol or kerosene. So if you need a fuel bottle for gasoline you will need to get a metal one like the MSR Fuel bottle or a similar product. Just about every outdoor company makes a version of them.
.......
Very useful in the bush. Another example is to wipe out the dew on the tarp / tent
@ARAW-__- Or the condensation from inside a tent! You make an excellent point again my friend. have a great night.
Did you notice the tiny slivers of plastic in your coffee?? Only one problem with the single server.... you're drinking little plastic slivers! That WILL poison your body! It's been reported to International Delight but they are doing NOTHING about it! The FDA has been notified. Drinkers beware!!!
@MrBarryalan No I did not, never seen any. Thanks for the heads up.
You need ear protection using that stove

@Ray-u5v The main pot weighs in at 5 7/8oz or 167 Grams. The lid weighs in at 3 3/8oz or 97 Grams. I hope this helps you out. Have a nice night.
@@charlesartificer2158Thanks for the answer! Good luck!
Don't buy chinese made. Insist on American or European made products so we can stop outsourcing all of our labor.
@@WesMiller303 totally get where you're coming from and for the most part I agree. Would love to see an American-made one.
I can see how this makes for a decent emergency/field sharpener, but did you really ditch real whetstones for this? Doesnt seem like a good fit for kitchen knives or pocket knives with better steels in them
@kvernesdotten I did not ditch my stones for this. What this has allowed me to do is leave them at home. I take a carbide sharpener with me into the woods. while out if I need to sharpen up a blade This makes quick work of it. when back at home if said blade needs it I finish it with a stone. As for other blade steels to date every blade steel I have tried it on from pocket knife to kitchen knife it has worked. This is a useful tool for putting a quick edge on a blade. If you take the time to learn it and master it you will see its benefits. Besides if you have a steel harder than carbide how the hell you going to sharpen it in the first place? Hope this answer your question.
@@charlesartificer2158 Oh okay, it came across as you having used traditional stones for decades then exclusively moved to these. I still dont think kitchen knives make much sense though, since they spend their time in your house where they can be properly sharpened anyway so it doesnt make much sense to me at least to put an emergency micro bevel on them. But yeah if you use these in the woods as you say and still sharpen properly at home that makes alot more sense. There are no steel that is harder than tungsten carbide. There are steels with vanadium carbides scattered in them that are as hard, but the steel itself cannot be. Some people are very concerned with carbide tearout and such in these steels, I dont necessarily think its as big of an issue as they claim but I also have no idea how that interacts with scraping the steel with a carbide bit as oposed to abrading it traditionally, so maybe its a thing? Anyway the point is that even the hardest supersteels will sharpen eventually if you go at it long enough with enough friction, im personally more worried about putting microbevels and weird facets on nicer knives if its not necessary if that makes sense I havent tried this exact one, but ive tried something similar and found that it gives about the same result as a ceramic honing rod (with actual abrasives in it)
@kvernesdotten I used it on kitchen knives during my initial evaluation. Then another time when I was at a friends house. Turns out his kids lost his main wet stone. I had one of these carbide sharpers in my bag in my truck. Works well for a quick sharpen. With alot of Practice you can keep odd bevels to a minimum. Where these sharpers are concerned there is alot of hand wringing and people worrying about things that honestly are nonsense. At the end of the day is the blade sharp or not. That all comes down to the skill of the user. I knew an older guy who used ceramic rods and could put a razor edge on a blade super fast. But he had been doing it for decades. Now that I have a few years using these I can whip out a nice sharp edge much quicker than with my Arkansas whetstone. Granted its a softer stone but it has been my goto for most of my life. Plus, with the handle cut down, this is smaller and lighter. Best advice I give people on these is to get some inexpensive knives and practice, practice, practice. Remember that learning curve you had using a stone? Same thing here takes time and patience. Sad truth is most people lack both these days. They want instant gratification. Well I have rambled long enough I hope you are picking up what Im laying down. Got to go to work now. Have a good one.
Prefer the Victorinox and better for the environment.
@@insanogeddon maybe I will pick one up if I can get it on sale. Thanks for the comment and views.

Obviously not licensed by the army. Does the army license such things? I don't think so. Unless it's advantageous tech, this is a cheaply made flashlight, very cheap
Would have been nice to see it and then seen what another headlamp looks like in comparison
I'm thinking those serrations don't need to be sharpened... as it is a table knife. Also, it looks like it is Kira approved 🫡
It might not need to be sharpened. all depends on usage. Been taking this one to work daily and I like it so much getting a second one for my other mess kit.
Solves the "can't use that lubricant " because I eat with my knife issue too. Weighs an ounce. Now you can use bear grease on your belt knife or whatever and not worry about poisoning yourself...ever😂
True, unless you use your field knife to dress out wild game. Then you could be right back to food contamination.
Yup. Mineral oil. Food safe variety FTW
Thank you for the video and the support, we truly appreciate it.
@RoxonTool Thank you for the great multitool. I'm looking forward to the flex companion.I've already preordered.
What is the fuel used between the heads?
@@rewardsoverwater7821 are you asking about the priming Fuel That I Used to Prime the stove with?
If I was using this in a real world setting I would put the base in standing water after it gets hot to preheat the water.
@@rewardsoverwater7821 okay that's interesting idea.
Cool tip ! Might want to rub it on a few drops of cooking oil to increase burn time ! Love the Kira outro 😅
@ARAW-__- That could work. Only issue is with over time the oil going rancid and attracting wildlife like bears. Jute twine is oil treated that's what makes it so flammable. Maybe some gun oil, will have to try some experiments. I'm glad you like her outro, working on some new ones. Thanks for the idea have a great day.
@charlesartificer2158 Bear country is just different ! There are some wolves and brown bears in France, but they absolutely decimated not that long ago, so they fear humans and learned to eat only sheeps and the likes.
Did you try to push in the center like Tupperware, to see if it would seal better?
@markraciborski4289 I have and it still leaks. I have a buddy who has one and he got his to seal one time and has not been abel to reproduce the result. So I suppose it can work under perfect conditions. Life however is seldom perfect. Best advice I can give is only use the top to cover your food from bugs if you must get up to do something but do not try and turn it sideways with any liquid in it. Other than that I do like this mess kit. Thanks for the comment and views.
The tape will extend the burn time of the jute. And strips of jute inside of rolled tape will provide the best of both. Peace
@rhettoracle9679 True, this hack only gives you 2 possibly 3 fire starters with the fireBiner. Thanks for the comment and views.
