  • Wet wet wet, no not the 80's band but the weather on this trip, it poured rain from the minute I got to my camp and didn't stop turning into a pretty windy rainstorm! A nice hot bowl of Venison Chili to warm my insides and watching two otters on the hunt made up for it though

      P-51 can opener is even better, can get them on Amazon. They are a bit bigger than the 38, saves a bit of wear on your thumb when you use it.

    Ahhh, KeystoneArcher beat me to it! I have the same P-38 and P-51 can openers since retiring from the military 32 years ago and they work so much better than the ones on any combo knife kits, including a new Victorinox Rangergrip 178 bought recently. It was mainly the blade and the saw I needed. Amazon sells the P-38 for six bucks. I have one on my Jeep's key fob and one in my Pathfinder kit. A small piece of electrical tape wrap will prevent the can opener from opening in your pocket; the locking mechanism gets loose after numerous uses. That chili looks incredibly delicious and considering the weather conditions it's the perfect meal. Man, I love camping in the rain as the drops on the tarp or tent lull me into a deep REM sleep. Fishing in the rain is a favorite pastime for me as it seems to be more productive.

    • @BrooksandBirches
      @BrooksandBirches  3 роки тому

      Thanks Alexander, yeah those p-38's sound pretty handy, I need to get a couple to keep in my different kits for stuff like this. I was looking at a 178 myself recently, mainly for the saw for doing little woodworking tasks in camp because the other saws are a little too big for fine work. Fishing in the rain does seem to be more productive must be the low pressure

    Plow points are my go to set up as well. Next time consider a ridgeline between 2 trees to attach the top point to. Also the line allow you to attached a line to the middle of tarp and raise the inside up for more room. Awesome video as always. Appreciate your hard work and the content.

      Good call Scott! I haven't tried it with a ridgeline just yet but I'll give it a try next time, sounds like a cool idea to be able to slide it back and forth like that. Cheers mate

    I'm only at 3:49 (smiley face tree) and I already want to comment -
    Weeeee otters are my favorite woodland animal!! I'm from Michigan so there were always a lot around. They even regularaly swam up and down the Detroit and Rouge rivers (umm...downtown area). At least they did in the nineties. I hope they're still around. They are seriously the most funnest creatures to interact with, once they warm up to you. People rave about dolphins but otters are where it's at. Okay! Back to the video.
    edit: Yorkshire tea!
    I'm getting used to new meds right now and the only thing that got me off the couch was your mention of Yorkshire tea. Thanks for the reminder! It's the first thing that's made me feel better.
    edit again: I HATE those can openers! They have defeated me every time. I knew I was doing it wrong but I didn't know how wrong - now I feel like opening a can just to see if I can do it. Except I can't eat! Looks like a delicious start btw.
    Edit because I'm oldish and forgetful: thanks again for another great video! Sorry it was so miserable and I hope you're feeling better!

      It really was Conar, there's something reassuring about hearing the rain on the tarp because you get a sense that any critters that might be tempted to come and mess with your camp are probably hunkered down somewhere!

    As far as the Swiss Army can opener, hold the tool in your left hand and the can in the right.. Clip the bottom point to the bottom of the rim and rock the top point into the lid right next to the rib.. You will naturally get the groove and this is the most basic and easiest way.. Agian, awesome video.. Please keep them coming bro!!!

    I love your accent, by the way. We have a saying over here, USA, "If it ain't raining we ain't training." From what I understand about England, it rains there every time the sun goes up or down over there. As for the yawns, it makes everything real not faked. They say it's easy to do good when everything is good, however, you can tell a man's real character on his bad days, not when everything goes good. Keep them coming, I'll keep watching.
