I have a hunter model and in 3 seasons it's all you need. Poncho, emergency shelter, sleeping bag or insulated cove in my hammock. Yes they are expensive but I've had mine 6 years and never had a rip, tear or leak. I can recommend it highly. The just came out with a jacket also!

He has a fully operational original Jerven Bag!
lol 😆
Anyone whining about blowing your nose has obviously never hunted in the cold.
spudrubble my thoughts exactly, I gave the comment a thumbs down and started to say that you have never been ou t in the cold ,but didn't want to start a shit storm on this awesome site . There are a lot of faceless cowards out there who feel empowered sitting at home in mom and dad's basement. Hell, even the military mittens have a spot for wiping your nose in the cold .I highly enjoy this channel and took the comment personal .
My solution to the problem is dressing warmer and protecting the neck very carefully.
Jerven and Helsport are two norwegian producers that both make this kind of ponchotarp - PT. They both produce a variety of models from the simple unlined model to medium and heavy lined models to a high-end model with "zip-in" lining. Jerven makes most model in mountain and forrest camo and some models in snow and dessert camo. The model Lars is showing is the original vindsekk (Wind Sack) from Jerven. It is made as an wind- and waterproof garment for when the hunter is sitting on post doubling as camouflage. This original model has "issues" with condensation that can be dealt with by adding an UCO lantern etc. I like the medium lined Hunter model from Jerven the best. I have the short Hunter model. It packs up quite descent and is not to heavy. On its own it is a ponchotarp and a survivalbag. It is only a sleepingbag during the summermonths. In the rest of the year it will do as a ground cover and/or reinforcemrnt of another sleeping unit. It will take more abuse than your average sleeping bag but this is not anything like canvas or cotton. It can be repaired though.
I much appreciate your comment and input on the Jerven :)
I agree, I want to add that there are more tarp-setup possibilities with the original then with the Hunter model.
You make a good point when you speak about the benefits of canvas. It's been
tested for ages. Yes, you will save weight with synthetics. From a military perspective, the lighter the load the quicker the soldier. I can see the Norwegian cover being very good for a blind, rough cover, or stand where you will be stationary for hours. To stay warm, activate a few hand warmers and you're good to go. It's good when you can't make a fire, just use a small stove to heat water etc...
Master Tracker - I was thinking about the current chemical type. But you reminded of the Jon E warmer. They worked great with Ronsonol fluid. 👍
Fred Thorne what are the Jon E warmers?
Master Tracker how can I find out more on the fox bag. I typed it in I got nothing close to what you was talking about
William Branstetter www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.edcforums.com/threads/zippo-vs-jon-e-hand-warmer.102359/&ved=0ahUKEwjYk9y_i4XXAhWh7oMKHTgMAZEQFghdMA0&usg=AOvVaw2xUNCRJaAuOKY4-iWNLJ1g
William Branstetter - Sorry my text didn't make the attached link above. As Master Tracker mentioned, the Jon E warmer is a slow combustion device that has been around for almost a century designed to provide ambient heat inside clothing. Be cautious however, since they can get extremely warm. They've staved off frost bite for many a soul caught in extreme cold conditions.
The loop on the arm cover is a thumb loop. You hook it over your thumb before you put your glove on, stops the sleeve sliding up.
It was most likely designed as a kind of one man tent to sit in while waiting for reindeer when hunting in the flat open mountain areas of southern Norway (Hardangervidda). The pattern shown is just perfect for that area.
Norway has the coolest names.
I have an insulated Jerven Fjellduk which i've been using for quite some time.
Not only used as a poncho but also as a tarp, sleeping bag, tent and hammock.
My favourite configuration is to hang it on a rope between two trees with both ends open and sleep in it like that or as a hammock, if there aren't any suitable trees i then use two branches tall enough to keep it from the ground and tether it down with ropes and rocks.
Nice bit of kit... certainly a step-up from a silver reflective emergency blanket, but it should do the same job.
I can reccomend the Hunter model, the insulation and the longer length, makes it useful as a makeshift sleeping bag. I won't go hunting without one. :)
Thank you for the info :)
Tactical Rob you would think that if it's military issued it would be tougher than nails. How's has yours held up? Worth the cost?
Got the Helsport Extreme one. It's a bit big, bulky and heavy, but if you have no problem with that, it is a good piece of kit. Especially when one has found out the do's & don'ts, it will surprise you... in the possitive way that is :-) Most people stare themselves blind on only one feature it offers, rather then see it for what it is : a Multi-functional ( emergency ) item. I've slept in it for five days in spring, in mountainous terrain ( with a tarp as a windbreak )... and I was fine.
I have had mine for two years now. They do sell a patch kit, if you are unfortunate enough to tear it, although I suspect the biggest danger to the Jerven might be when using it close to a bonfire, and embers may burn a hole. Many people use the Jerven bag for their hunting dogs, as cover/groundsheet, so it can certainly handle the claws of a dog scratching it.
+ of the Hunter model is the full length, so it is pretty good as a sleeping bag/tarp. Also the padding/insulation of the Hunter makes it more quiet, mine does not have the rustling sound that the Original has.
Biggest gripes of Jerven bags if used for sleeping bag, is condensation. Being waterproof, it does not breath well. So I just leave each end of the bag a bit open, for ventilation. :)
You and me both.
as you rightly say, Lars, it's very expensive. I bought a poncho in camo pattern and it cost me less than £20. Cheap, yes, but it protected £1,000 worth of photo equipment in the rain very well, so it was worth it for me. Now, I guess that paying way over 100 euros is perfect when the use of it is for special purposes, but not for me. Take care...
Nice hunting very light bag/poncho thingy in the "Hardangervidda moss" (my words for the camo) pattern. Brings to mind the old school studs/saboteurs of the Norsk Hydro power plant at Vermorsk!
Nice Lars....I am sure you will find it useful for you in any of the configurations that you might use it in. Nice wake up to a fresh video on Sunday morning, have a good rest of the weekend. Now forecast looks like 5cm of snow by next weekend for us as well, only time will tell.
Bare vær forsiktig ved bålet. Blir lett hull av den minste gnist. Flott mønster😁
Ha en flott dag, Lars.
Den koster ca 1000 kr i Norge. Det blir omtrent 107 euro. Det er jervenduk original. Liker videoene dine godt! Også når du lar praten gå😁
Ha en fin kveld, hilsen Lars fra Norge😊
Very impressive and great piece of kit. The camo pattern is great, perfect forth thick forests in southern parts of western Australia, other states in Australia and would be good for the parts of thick rainforest of North Queensland. Very functional kit indeed.
It's nice to see someone that's as honest as your self!! Blessings from the USA 😇
Het Lars. I have the helsport copy and its Ok as well. One trick for hunting/sitting; have you’re coffee pot between your legs and burn a tea candle (telys) in it. Should keep you Nice and warm.
yepp^^ , i have done something similar, works well. Think a tea candle is like 75 watts of heat. A ordinary one like 125.
Lars the only thing I question about using that poncho for hunting is it makes quite a crinkly noise when you move around just the slightest bit. I think you’ll scare the critters away with it.
That camo pattern would work well in the mountains near me. There are many areas with boulder fields of mossy grey dolomite granite. It looks very much like that. Wow Lars! Your collection of milsurp gear must be huge by now!
Logica Redux - You would never see Lars with that pattern in your vicinity. Do you have a decent bear population in your neck of the woods?
Fred Thorne - Yes, we have black bears. They tend to be small and are usually quite pleased to keep well shut of humans. If you are camping and are not careful with your food storage they will come into your camp to scavenge.
The camo look good in the tropical jungle. unfortunately it is too warm for tropical use
Fred Thorne I think it would work well here in NJ as well..
Logica Redux - That's what I thought. I guess I should leave my bacon scented pajamas at home if I were to ever camp out in your vicinity.
I have the Hunter model and it gets pretty damp when you've slept in it one night, even with my face outside, that is why I would not recommend to sleep in it multiple nights, it needs to be able to dry. But perfect lightweight option for a one night bivouac,
I use it as a sleeping bag above 5 degrees celcius and I always sleep with my (mid layer) clothes on in it, very comfortable!!
When multiday bushcrafting I use it together with my lavvu tent as a ground sheet / bivy bag / extra insulation. So the fjellduken is a good companion for your Hungarian tent. :-)
I appreciate your input! :) Thank you.
I've got a "chem cloud nose" and "chem cloud sinuses". I bet it feels just like your nose. It sounds like it, more or less. Depending on what they are using it seems, the nose can be very runny for 16 hours straight, starting the minute I walk out the door. It can also start to bleed heavily without a warning. I never had problems with any of this until they started making some heavy duty chem clouds here.
I too much prefer canvas for most outdoor applications though, like gore-tex, you won't stay dry if you sit on very wet ground for long. These bags/poncho's have always seemed very flimsy and noisy to me for most of my field/hunting use. About a year ago, I bought a bivy bag/rain protection combo called the Bivanorak, from Hilleberg. You are likely aware of these. It is not particularly quiet, but it does a good job protecting from heavy rain, and it works well as a bivy sack too. Seems like a better blend of features too me, though everyone's use and interests are different. It keeps me from having to carry dedicated rainwear, or a dedicated bivy, and works well in either format. Pairs with a tarp very well, or by itself in a pinch. Can be used to sit on wet ground as needed, and also allows you to stretch out. Pretty nice so far.
Damn, that pattern looks just like boreal rock, with the moss and lichen patterns on it. Never seen that type of printed fabric-pattern before. Really pleases my eye, have to say.
Again, I have to say thank you for the honesty in your videos. Many reviewers would've said something like "It seems ok, it has a nice pattern and an inner lining" and all that bla bla bla. But real outdoorsmen don't need that bullshit, you talking about how it feels in the hand etc., about it's thickness and finish and that, is very helpful to a lot of people considering buying this. At least now I won't have to wonder what was in that paper parcel from Varusteleka. :D
Hunting season just began here in Finland, hunters are shooting ducks all over the island that contains our cottage(in the middle of a large river). Yesterday driving home from the cottage we actually saw a group of about ten hunters who had felled a moose very close to the road, they had the carcass right there. Must've weighed hundreds of kilos, by the few seconds glance I got.
PS. Who the hell among your commenters comments that you should blow your nose? I'm usually very cordial but I have to say that is some prime bullshit right there. This channel is about wilderness living and survival, not about empty sinuses. Are there folks so alienated from biology they are bothered by normal bodily functions? By Odin's single eye, that's some thick BS right there.
Algiz i wanted to gave the same comment on the camo but you already put it up
Atb
Steve
Yeah, it was literally the first thing that caught my eye on this video. That's a really beautiful pattern, got to say.
Atb to you and yours as well.
ALL HAIL ODIN !!
Good stuff, I was gifted one, from Norge military, as you say spendy, can buy much tyveck! Tentsmiths offers a great wax canvas coat, no hood, can order additional material, I have had mine many years, Where do you live in Russia! Here in MN we have 12" of snow for deer
You have a knack for turning boring and mundane into interesting and cool......the nose knows! (lol)
Interesting to see you pick up a Jerven bag, definitely not the usual military surplus. :)
I have a Jerven Hunter that I got from Varusteleka. The Jervens are uncommon here in the USA. AAMOF, I used it on an overnight camp last night. The temperature got down to about 40 degrees F. / 4.5 degrees C. It kept me warm although I should have put thicker socks on because my feet got a little cold.
Despite the manufacturer's claims about the lined Jervens not having condensation build up inside, mine is out back on my patio drying out. I had some moisture buildup inside.
I'll probably end up keeping the Jerven in my truck for winter. For a multipurpose quilt / sleeping bag / greatcoat, I like my Hill People Gear Mountain Serape better.
Thanks for the input. As far as I remember, Jerven do acknowledge the condensation issue. Who cares. Gore-Tex bags have the same problem :) The Hill People "bag" looks interesting :)
The camo pattern is great. Shoulders fit terribly. Maybe it's supposed to go over a backpack to raise it up and make it fit better? Give it a try? Terribly nois.... maybe it will quiet down as it breaks in? Interested to see how it works out for you. I hope it survives the brush. Glad to see you get something you've been wanting. :-)
Awesome video! As are all of them.
I appreciate the honesty in your reviews.
Here in northern Michigan, especially in parts of the U.P. I think that pattern would work.
Good stuff Lars,. Looks mylar survival blanket"Warm" . It should be toasty warm , once you arrive at your blind to hunt moose
love the HONESTY .. No Bull ^hit ! do not become a robot doing vids ...do them as long as you feel good about it all !
Really cool camo pattern. It was working while you were just sitting there. It will be interesting to see it in the field.
I have the hunter model and I am more than happy with it. Use mine as a 3 season sleeping bag here in Sweden. Could probably use it as a 4 season with an extra liner. Love your videos!
Thank you for the info :)
Hey lars I bought a roll of insulation called super quilt, it's 40 mm thick and 120 pounds for a ten metre roll. I'll send u some if u like to test it. It's very warm.
theres also a model that has a thermal padding called primaloft and apparently has really amazing heat trapping qualities.
without it attached theres condensation.
It's a poncho that looks like it was made from my Mom's couch!
Very cool! I have looked online at those bags also. I’m looking forward to your review. Good luck with the moose hunt!
Saw a vid years ago with I think a Swede using this on rocky ground and it was outstanding, they have the moss pattern just right. I presume the silver/grey inside is also to cut down your heat signature. Will be interesting to see how it works for moose hunting.
Before I get too far into another one of your great videos, I have to comment about the structure you are sitting under...
Get another 2x4 and nail it to the other 2x4 support, not flat against each other, but where they make a "T". Nail about every foot or so. That is super strong and will prevent either board from bowing under weight or typical stress. It looks like that foreground 2x4 is bowing a lot!
There, I said it...now I can get back to watching...
Lars, I am interested in the history and architecture of your farm and settlement. Have you done a video about that? (I saw the clip of the domes.) No need to reveal any personal info. David, Wisconsin, USA
The bag maybe useful for a full day of ice fishing. I'd like to hear your thoughts about it after you use it. Thanks!
I have one, you will freeze your but off if you use that bag for ice fishing. If you buy the extreme version it will probably work nice, but that thing cost you 1l with blood, 1/2 your leg and 1/4 of your arm. It is pricy as hell.
As a vindbag it is great, but for use during icefishing i think the hunter version or the extrem version is a better and safer way to go in the cold. But they are much more pricy. I want to buy the extreme version, but the price...
I guess I'll stay with the snowmobile suit. Although I really want a Mustang floatation suit.
Always wanted one of these, but could never justify it,
looking forward to an update once you have used it,
The MTP is perfect for Finland, really spot on. Little noisey maybe but all ponchos are. Enjoy mate. Cheers Moose.
Thanks Lars
Noisey poncho too. Canvass is not. Have you considered the Helikon Tex Swagman?
My impression is it's like they made a better version of the snugpak poncho. As far as hunting with that bag it seems a bit noisy for sitting in a stand where you don't want any crinkly sounds to alert the critters.
I actually agree with you.
Survival Russia the last thing you want is some Russian bear deciding to find out what creamy filling is in that crinkly package over in the tree or some 1300# moose to find out you're in his territory and have him stomp you into the swamp or tiaga.
Most awesome. I have been eyeballing that rig for a couple years. Ulrica did a great review of it in the past. I am still waiing to save up the down payment.
Yes, they are expensive. Check out Swedish Hilleberg and US Hill People. They have something similar.
Many seasons now (like wow!!! I'm counting 17-20 years) I have had excellent results with the Swiss 'rubberized-nylon' Alpenflage poncho. This is a more rugged, roomy cagoule-like configuration vs. poncho/tarp and has been reliable in the harshest environments. The material is not really 'rubber' and is a hybrid plastomer of sorts... possible alloy of PVC/PU lamination to a synthetic base cloth... It's totally waterproof fabric. For the fit, functional storm effectiveness, camo pattern, and value... there is no better in my experience. That said -- I would not like an unexpected and out of control swift glassade on ice or snow if there was any exposure to cliffs, rocks, and trees. The alpenflage is surprisingly effective here in Alaska... especially in Moose and Caribou country.
I will have to try that poncho I guess. Thank you for the heads-up :)
Hi Lars, I have had my eye on the Fjellduken for ages, it will forever be on my wish list as they are ridiculously expensive, I do love the mountain pattern camo though, it has also been interesting to see you with the Belgian camo in the autumn woodland, it works surprisingly well despite it being a bit "funky" as you say LOL
That appears to be a very effective camo pattern. It really fits your background.
Thank you so much for your Vids ! I really love your way of speaking. Very sympathic.
Never seen camo like that before, the fit looks a little awkward. I like the fact that it is water proof, should come in handy out there in the forest. I hope it holds up for you, keep us informed on how well it does. Have a great week my friend.
Wow he's already getting snow I do not envy that.
Lars show us the sleeves. Do they zip on to the cover, is there a hood?
Really like the camo-pattern, it really does blend in in mixed & wintery environment. ATB Gereon
Polyester is pretty good when compared to nylon. A little lighter than canvas. That impregnating is going to make it shine for direct moisture. You may have to vent it more as it does not breathe as well as canvas. That reflective material is what I’m interested in. Does it work as good as mylar or is it a gimmick? I use an SOL Mylar bag inside my 2 pound sleep bag to plus up my bag rating of 40 degrees to about 28 degrees Fahrenheit as the temperature drops. My clothes add the extra insulation. If the temperature is going to be 30 F or less I bring a 20F or 0 F Wiggys sleeping bag or both. Wiggys is the only bag that is as compressible and as warm as down, yet should be cleaned in the washer machine. Why do I use the 2 pound sleep bag for temps from 55F to 32F? Because it is the most convenient way to add insulation when stationary without the weight or bulk penalty. I like the pattern on the Jerven bag you picked out. Have you thought about putting a zipper in a wool throw or blanket to wear as a poncho under your Russian camo poncho? I would wax treat the canvas on the Russian camo poncho and use a folded aluminum 3 legged stool to sit up off the ground. It can be easily slung over a shoulder. I will look forward to your report. On my channel , kurt Baier, I show how I put a zipper in a US GI Woobie and attached a mylar blanket. It’s to noisy for hunting but performs better for warmth.
Interested to see how this works out for you.
The Jerven Fjellduken is a extremely useful thing. It`s kind of a mediocre replacement for a good tarp but it really shine as a big rain poncho you can move around in, or if you need to sit still/take a nap, protect against wind. Perfect for fishing and hunting from a post, it`s good for camouflage and the shape disrupt the recognizable human form quite well.
It packs about the same as a tarp but is more expensive, comes in thin waterproof standar , isolated ,winter.
Several times it has turned wet and cold situations into relatively comfortable events for me and my dog , and as mentioned you can simply continue walking in it. A most useful all round equipment.
...not silent but i would not call it noisy... Recommended. One of those things that really can be "survival"...for real.
I have no experience in it below - 15-20 celsius/or winter version.
Thank you for your input friend :)
Good detailed review once again. Am now interested in the Hunter version that might be less noisy? Lol, you did it again with that healthy sniff at the end, just about covered my screen in coffee. Yes, they can go somewhere else, we'll take you as you are, totally "awezome!" :)
It will be less noisy with the Primaloft liner of course. The liner can be removed of course :) Thank you TC!
Hi Lars, could you please do a review of this fjellduken again? Like how did you like it, or is it any good?
I really like your gazebo can you do a video on your gazebo and your log furniture that log furniture looks real cool
Thanx for another nice video, have been looking at that modell but the price put me off, maybe i will give the hunter modell a try, looks realy versetile.
Awesome. now you have a tarp to complement your spectra camo suit, :)
Lars , it's always a pleasure to watch your videos .... BUT 6 IN THE MORNING! !!!!!.. going back to sleep. . After I finish this video of course. ..
The problem with this kind of equipment is its really difficult test it in extreme conditions. For years i carried around a rubberised German army poncho and a mylar survival blanket thinking this would save me if I got in a really difficult situation. When that difficult situation arose they were not worth two Knobs of goat shit. I still carry a survival sheet and the poncho sometimes but i also carry a tourch , fire lighting gear, some food, a dry base layer, A variety of fire lighting equipment and the latest addition a silky gomboy 270.
My understanding of this kind of equipment as with survival blankets is they wont keep you warm for an extended period of time.
Thank you for your input. It's always appreciated mate :)
I have the original and the exclusive and live both!
Oh you really are full of surprises! I would NEVER have expected to see you in such a Jerven bag. Both synthetic AND expensive like hell. :o) But good camo. I must say, that I do not really understand this preference of canvas all the time. Of cause it is sturdy but thick and heavy too, but compared to many synthetics, that is because the synthetic stuff is made thin, for light weight, low volume and easy carry. I mean, some cheap pseudo-military ponchos (Mil-Tec or so) of thin polyamide (Nylon)/polyester one can have in a small pocket, and they are still strong enough for every day use (I mean years) biking/ walking in the city at least (And in more open terrain). Do not mean the flimsy emergency ones. Polyamide (and most polyester) is stronger than cotton in wear and tear resistance, compared to weight ratio, so if one got a poncho of equivalent sort of weight per square meter or so, it should beat the canvas. also in rip and tear resistance. That I am sure of. Just take a backpack of 1000 denier Nylon, it is not so easy to tear up. Or if one are biking a lot. You get holes in your cotton blue jeans between the legs, where they hit the saddle much faster than in polyamide hiking pants eg. that's for sure. IMHO.
Not to say, that one should not use canvas ponchos. One should do, what feels right and easiest for the location and situation, but it is just for saying it.
Found this by accident. They seem to make strong Cordura Nylon ponchos, that they even use as hammocks and chairs when out hiking and camping. They seem strong enough. wildernessinnovation.com/ First saw them on their UA-cam channel: ua-cam.com/users/wildernessinnovationfeatured
Not to promote them or make anyone buy their stuff, but just to support my claim, that it is possible to make strong synthetic ponchos with good tear and wear resistance. :o) Nice sunday no matter what.
+ throat nothing trout
good point cos i was thinking the opposite...but its all food for thought and to go out and test it all...you can't beat fur....and a donkey or yak to carry it for you in summer
Ever since I saw Darrens ,Funky, video I had been debating on getting a Jerven bag I just wasn't sure about investing in because of the price tag, now I have to do it all again as I forgot all about it, I dunno if I would regret it because I do love using the Plash Palatka.
Seriously do people complain about your beak sniffling??
o&o
So do other armies still use ponchos ? We stopped using them long ago
Hey, why not use polyethylene + canvas over it as an underlay? That tarp is pretty expensive for such simple purpose.
Great bag tarp poncho iv had that wet problem with vortex too not sure if it leaked or just condensation but it was damp just the same take care brother
Great video as always Lars!
I've seen these ponchos on varusteleka for a while now.
They look pretty neat!
Hopefully it holds up well.
I suppose they must be confident in their product if they offer a 10 year warranty, unless there's odd restrictions and whatnot.
Sniffling is the noise of winter in my house. About half the family has the sniffles all winter long. So yeah, I don't mind it at all xP
Thank you very much pld buddy :)
Survival Russia
Aye, no problem Lars!
The material is very noisy if you wanted to sit and listen for moose...
And the colder the weather the more that stuff rustles.
Back in the '80s a lot of guys in the British army used to buy nylon waterproofs in DPMT to wear over their combats for rainy exercises, at night you could hear them rustling as they moved from several hundred metres away. Often this would be patrol sections doing a reccy close to or inside an enemy line so rustling around like that is not too good.
Same could be said about the US gen 1-2 gore-tex jacket and trousers those things are really noisy compared to to a normal field jacket. I only use gore-tex in extremely wet,muddy conditions (easy to clean) or deep snow otherwise a field jacket i think in uk it's called a smock is perfectly usable to keep warm or keep away moderate rain and snow provided if you apply a good waterproof coating you can stay nice and dry for hours.
I always preferred the British '58 pattern olive drab poncho to be the best thing if you were staying still in one place for a time, it was totally waterproof, works as a basha or ground sheet and it had almost indestructable press studs for joining several together. Although it was some kind of rubberised or plastic material it didn't rustle much. For my combats, I used to spray them with a silicone tent spray a bit like Scotchguard so they would repel most rain unless it was heavy or persistent. compared to modern kit though they were quite heavy.
Only used ponchos when i had to stand watch during the summer or something similar and it had good..ish airflow since it's loosely fitting on the body compared to a gore-tex jacket which is breathable as a rubber glove. Nowadays for normal outdoors activities i stay inside when it rains haha
They sell a hunter version as well this is the basic model
Like the camo pattern but a bit expensive.
Keith Spence yes it is expensive. But the quality of it is very high. Hunters in Norway wich hunt raindeer in the cold mountains in Norway, have been using these items for a long time. This has saved many unfortunate hunters who have been surprised by bad weather in the mountains. This is not a toy. It is a very high quality gear. I do not know any hunters who go hunting raindeer in Norway that does not have some kind of Fjellduk. Mauntain cover. Highly recomended.
Yea, my wife calls me Sniffles sometimes. She blows her nose until it bleeds, so that makes me smarter..lol.
allways a great movie thanks
Liked the video. Would you still recommend Original model or go for something different? Or maybe you would go for something completely different like Särmä TST THERMAL CLOAK? Thanks
I wish I knew exactly what mine is. I paid $20 USD at a surplus store and it was listed as milsurp from Sweden or somewhere. I think it’s better than that one.
too noisy, I think it would get worse as the cold sets in
When you open the parcel ,and saw the camo print ,I thought by myself hmmmm
But when you had it on,I thought awesome print
Looks great
Atb
Steve
Lars Go and find the biggest briar patch you can find to test that and see how long it holds up !hehehe !
Der letzte "Schniff" war der Beste ; -)
If you are open for constructive critics on your videos, I would like to suggest that showing the tarp (or whatever you are demonstrating) ready to use, installed at the beginning of the video to catch our attention at the first minutes. It took me 10 minutes to understand it's actually a poncho tarp (nothing new IMHO), but could know that at the first minutes.
Hardcore. Love ur stuff mate.
Nah..... Except for in total downpoor rain inactive hunting yeah exactly. The Price oei oei.... For allround use indeed I agree with your 10 dollar impregnated canvas surplus poncho/tent halves/tarps.
Hej Lars
Just to say something on your running nose comment. I recognized it as well. What many people, especially the ones from not so cold climates, do not get. It is condensation. It is the same as taking a cold can out of the fridge on a warm day. The temperature difference between your lunges and the "visible" part of the nose is, probably in your case right now, around 35°C. The moisture of the exhaled air condenses on the colder surfaces close to your nostrils. 1. there is no way to avoid this. 2. even if you wipe it off, it will keep going almost instantly. 3. pulling in the water keeps your nasal mucosa moist as well. 4. pulling it all the way through keeps at least some of the water in your body. (/smartass)
Besides pissing off some sensitive viewers, there are only benefits for you keeping that habit. I cannot wait to get winter here in central Sweden as well. I was marveling when I saw the snow coming down on your Silky F180.
thank you Dr Rosenbaum...the complainers must have have long tongues
I see that more for being Stuck Outdoors, like a Plane Crash or a Blizzard comes in and traps you in a Car for a couple of days. Why else have the Signal Panel? But if you guys say it works for Hunting, I'll take your word on it. But I'll stick with my Tarp and Grabber Space Blanket for my Emergency Overnight Camping. With the OFFICIAL TOTALLY AWESOME SIBERIAN LOG FIRE to sleep next to! Take Care.
I think i saw this tarp on Bjorn Bull Hansen´s channel.
Not 100% certain, though.
It seems good, I like the camo pattern and the arm sleeves.
Would I pay €140 for it? Not a chance.
Cheers boy!
Great video thank you
i saw this video when it came out..... now that is has been a little time... i was curious if you have drawn any conclusions about willingness to purchase some of the other models? im interested in buying one of the models but im not exactly sure which i want... Im some what excited about buying the warmest/ biggest one... but i assume that is more than I need cause im not that big of a person and dont live in very cold weather etc. do you have any real interest in any of the other models of the fjellduken after your exposure to the original model?
I would buy one of the larger ones. I most likely will do that actually. The model/models where it is possible to remove the liner is optimal in my opinion. Thank you :)
the model where it is possible to remove the liner (seems to be only one model) is the most expensive.
Wow!
3:08 That's lichen, not moss.
;)
I want to see you with the Jerven's crazy hood thing deployed, it looks like it makes you into a video game alien :)
👍👍👍👍👍
Good luck with your moose, have you tried moose calls, I saw far north survival get a beauty with a call
I saw this on Gullrica's channel (check her out, she is awesome :)!) and would love to have one. Great to know that Varusteleka has them on their website too, will place a big order soon!
Thnxs for the "real" video, i recently was directed to a channel [thnxs alot youtube robots] and it was a reminder how silly some of these so-called survival channels are. You are a breathe of fresh air in a world of Idiots. Thank you and the "pink ninja" for your great content. P.S. we all believe in your "stubborness" in regards to the S.R. buggy..we believe youll "get it done", so take your time.
Hi Mate, thanks for posting your review, I'll be honest, I actually like the concept behind the system, but having seen the material and overall thickness, I am a bit sceptical about the thermal qualities during winter (mainly high winds and rain combined with low temperatures) and the actual material type it is made out of, even though it is reflective internally - I thought it was made from similar material to german/belgian ponchos and a lot heavier duty. Not keen on the detatchable arms either, like I say, I really like the concept behind it, the pattern and the overall light weight and versatility, just not convinced by it and it's price tag.I am a big fan of Scandanacian surplus stuff as it is well thought out and designed... If you could do an overnighter video I would be very interested in your thoughts, lets face it, Russian weather is a bit more hardcore than that in Northern England! Thanks for posting, and all the best. Nick
I appreciate that, and appreciate that in comparison to British Army surplus as a whole, Scandanavian equipment is much more superior in my opinion (based on equipment I actually own) very well designed and thought out, good quality etc. I'm not totally ruling it out as a sleep system and shelter, just very sceptical :)
+fegman
its been proven in windchill -80 with the thermal padding
but the noise and the tear factor worries me...
bring back the buffalo robe and a donkey to carry it in warm weather
HI mikha007 - I agree, is was a bit noisy lol, like I say, I am sceptical, but interested as I like the concept and theory behind it. Fingers crossed we can get a review soon :)
