It’s a alpine mountaineering tent for snow and wind not waterproofing ability lack of taped seams is actually common in low footprint assault style tents (the tried and true bd first light is one) I have had both of these tents in all sorts of gnarly weather in the wasatch mountains and Canada

@@benjaminstevens8641 OK, that makes perfect sense. Snow doesn't leak through seams..... THIS IS WHY I COMMENT. I truly enjoy learning new things. Thanks for the education, much appreciated. have a super week

@@mikemorgan5015 it doesn’t make sense to me either maybe weight? but it works for its intended use!

@@benjaminstevens8641 I wasn't being snarky. It DOES make sense for winter use.

@@mikemorgan5015 haha no i understand

Factory sights not so good.

there is a very thin o-ring that seals the bottle - you probably lost that. I am afraid that these have gotten very old and that some of the rubber-like parts are starting to decompose (o-ring seals as well as the fuel line itself) There is a maintenance kit that you may be able to track down. Make sure you get the one with all the little parts - not just a replacement generator tube.

@@andrewkowalczyk6114 Thank you for the advice sir. You are probably right about the rubber parts starting to decompose. I will try to track down the maintenance kit. Hopefully that will work. Thanks again.

@@andrewkowalczyk6114 Thanks for the help! This is some great info. Thank you!

I've had decent luck with viton o-rings for just about everything on these. But not always. For the hose, I replaced the one on my "user" pump with a longer piece of regular reinforced fuel hose. You have to carefully remove the brass crimped ferrule to get it off of the hose barbs. I used a quality zip tie to secure it at the pump. That's not what I recommend. A crimped hose clamp or ferrule is obviously better. Because it's not protected by the braided stainless sheath, I keep a piece of aluminum foil to reflect the heat away from it in operation. At the stove connector end, I used 6 or 7 tight wraps of mechanics lacing wire as a hose clamp. It's worked great for years, I just used it last week and I cooked on it for nearly an hour. Another option for the pump is to use a pump from another stove like an Optimus or Primus that's all metal for greater durabiliity. The Coleman fuel bottle uses threads that are different from the other brands, so you'll need a bottle too. There are a lot of knock-off chinese "multi-fuel stoves" out there now that look to be excellent clones of the original Swedish models. But I cannot speak from personal experience. So that may also be a good economical option to get a pump from. I have no idea how difficult it would be to get parts for them. You can retain the instant lighting by robbing the fuel pickup tube and most importantly, the little elbow that has the fuel pickup orifice in it. If you use the Nova pump, you may lose the bottle flip shutoff feature if you use the Apex fuel pickup. Lots of options out there. All you really need is a bottle to supply pressurized fuel to the Apex locking hose connection. You may have to preheat, but that's not a huge deal. Hope this helps and made sense.

No, I am not a veteran.

Still, you know good equipment. I bought the book. It was a good recommendation. Thank you and keep the videos coming.

That’s because he thinks it’s ginseng and its not that’s hickory saplings lol

It’s a musket if smoothbored, rifles have grooved barrels ,putting spin on the fired balls

@@kennethhamby9811 no, that’s a common misconception. Musket is a military arm. Smoothbored but heavy stock and fitted for a bayonet. Other smoothbore guns include hunting guns made for single ball or buck and ball loads, called fusils. Or light guns made for fowling. Light guns the ancestors to shot guns.

@@jeffreyrobinson3555 Wrong. He is right. Muskets were ALWAYS smooth bore. Rifles were often shorter than muskets. In 1895, Winchester produced a "Rifled Musket" under contract for Czarist Russia. A model 1895 with an unusually long, "musket length" barrel. Fusil is a French/ Belgian term that is as specific to a rifle or shotgun as the term "firearm" is to either. The confusion comes from the constant misuse of terms, either accidently or deliberate. A short-barreled musket is a blunderbuss. The reason muskets were so long is so they could be loaded while remaining mounted on horseback. Riles initially copied this pattern but were rapidly shortened as they were not favored for military use until the practice of coning barrels to make them faster to reload. By about that time, percussion caps and paper cartridges enabled mounted riflemen to use shorter rifles with no coning necessary.

@@Phuc_Socialist_You_Tube all muskets are smooth bore, except the late rifled muskets from the time of the Crimean war and the American civil war. However musket is a particular type of gun. All muskets are smooth bore but not all smooth bores are muskets Muskets were never made to be loaded off of horse back. Musket was always an infantry gun. The first muskets were two man guns. But by 1650 had evolved in to single man arms. Blunderbuss was smooth bore but never a musket. It was made for specific work A short barreled military arm is a musketoon or a carbine. Carbines used by Cavalry , musketoons used by artillery and light forces. Coning barrels were made for round ball rifles. These shot a patched round ball and coning made it easier to load. Was a civilian invention. I don’t know of a military rifle that used it, but may have been used on European rifles from napoleonic wars. Paper cartridges were the rule for military from the time of the thirty years war. Gustov Aldophson made them universal in the Swedish army. They were quickly adopted by all Europeans. However we have no documentation of them being used in civilian smoothbores

@@jeffreyrobinson3555 Blunderbusses followed by musketoons and then fowlers and foragers were always smoothbore. Calvary was historically, almost always valued more than infantry, due to speed and mobility. Capt. Pickett's charge at Gettysburg illustrated the error. Muskets are what the U.S. cavalry was issued prior to the Civil War. By the time of the Civil War they had breechloading Sharps carbines with paper cartridges, (discounting paper cartridges where the paper merely served as a powder measure.) revolving carbines and revolvers etc. Try to load any front stuffer from horseback and the length of muskets becomes apparent. The 1863 Springfield was a rifled musket. It was also obsolete at the onset of the war as were all muzzleloaders. The govt was slow to invest in upgrades, and military generals were slow to embrace new tech. Even The Trapdoor Springfield was a reluctance to trash weapons stores in favor of new tech. It was obsolete when it went into service. The only reason there were not more Cavalry present is cost. The widely held assumption of the superiority and even the invincibility of Calvary was disproven by Pickett's Charge and the Indian Wars. Only in the U.S. did Calvary start to fight as dismounted infantry. In foreign wars they fought mounted over open ground.
