- DON'T FORGET TO HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!
Today, I will be showing y'all how I make my Boonie hat's brims, stiff. Using just a little bit if steel wire, wire-cutters, and time. This is a nice mod to do, as it takes the floppiness out of the hat and allows it to withstand the environment and inclement weathers far better.

I certainly did not expect your voice to be so deep right off the bat. I just stopped and was like wth lol. Great video! You gained a sub
Haha that's true! Thanks for the sub!
No doubt. Looks like my step son sounds like he smoked 2 packs a day as long as my step sons been alive. 😄
I’ve had super success with this exact modification using 14 gauge copper wire from stripping 14/3 gauge wire at a recent home upgrade! Easy to push through and no silly surprises along the operation! Peace Be The Journey!
Gonna have to try that! Have an old floppy hat I just don't wear anymore because it became TOO floopy! Great idea, man! Cheers from Cordova!
Bahahaha, I get ya! Thank you!!! Cordova eh? God Bless, from Fairbanks!
Thanks for the tip! I love boonies but I had never thought to do this.
Best all around hat in my opinion. I wear mine everywhere.
Agreed, thx!
Love the boonie hat mod! You can always see Matthew coming from a distance because of his trademark hat! I wear mine a lot as well ~Ashley
Nice mod. I like the idea of having some extra wire stored in the hat that could be used for all kinds of stuff in a emergency if needed. Maybe add a few more loops of wire if it did not make the hat to heavy. Add a safety pin and a few fish hooks too.
Thats a great idea
Good mod for ones you don't want to be floppy. I have one that is but it's for foldin & puttin in the pocket when I stow it.
I do have an old one that's probably much older than you are though & it's still in the runnin. However it's brim has gotten a bit less stiff (kind of the reverse of these old bones) but I figure it gives it character. Besides I figure it's earned it makin it this long & when get well over 6 decades you quit caring what others think & more what is comfortable and you enjoy. Besides I figure I deserve it surviving thru the decades and 'adventures' I've had. Here's praying you'll surpas me.
stay safe keep warm have fun & whittle to keep your sanity

Awesome!!!!!
Just use starch to iron the brim. The whole point of a boonie cap is that it is packable. Also if you spray the hat with Nikwax it will shed water.
Those are good tips. Thanks!
I thought this kid was the Arnold’s Son
Hahaha I wish!
Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!
Dude... your voice is deeper than the mariana trench
Living Inthe wilderness teaches you things.
Yes it does
You sound like the drug dealers on drugs inc.or something like that, ya know when they black them out and deepen there voices
He's on to me!
I suggest smoothing the inserted end to prevent sharp edges catching in the hollow of the brim. Great video😊
That would be a good idea
Yeah, I was thinking that if you just bent the end of the wire back on itself, it would make it very smooth.
Nice mod. The only question I would have is if it would effect a compass reading?
Thank you and nope
Use brass wire
Have you tried this mod using braided picture hanging wire?
It’s the wire I always used for snaring snowshoe hares.
What gauge wire?
gonna do it it give it the tricorn look
Fluffy is the point of these hats. Fluffiness helps to camouflage you on the field.
Great mod. Thanks!
Yw!!!
+Life In The Taiga be careful boy talking about homeless people it can happen to you
if you are looking for a stiff brim hat, you should not be getting a boonie hat. They are not meant to be stiff brimmed. You appear to be looking for something more along the lines of an outback hat or safari hat. This is however a well done video, and a decent mod if you do not have the budget for a good quality hat.
Just wanted to say your comment about homeless people was very ignorant, also boonie covers are designed that way to break up the silhouette of the human head!
Okay.....
Ay um you ever heard of a joke
Theseasonorg teaches whole bible God bless
One of the biggest problems is that the brim is too big. Most of mine are cut down to a length of about 2 inches. If you do not want to cut down the brim your solution would work well..
That's an interesting idea
Nice mod!!
Nice!
Your voice doesn't match your face. I felt like I tripping for second. I like my non wired boonie hat.
I will shape it like a german stahlelm
Please do
🍀🍀🍀✌️😂✌️🍀🍀🍀
your voice is quite something.
I know, I know, its perfect.
Are there any videos where he says “It puts the lotion on its skin.”?
Right.
Ha!i knew!when i asked you.that that wasnt just a stock boonie....
Hahaha Yup.
Is this dude using a voice modulator? 😆
Nope
get a British boonie hat.
Maybe....
I like your voice
Thx!
