Earl here! Have been watching this channel for well over 12 years! Everyone here should know that Nick was and still is one of the best guys I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Unbridled work ethic! That machete is an awesome Father's Day gift! Look forward to seeing the mountain bike Dave!
Dave I have followed you since Nick weas a Kid and as I had said 19 years ago. I have no idea why your channel is not much bigger. Still when I am able I watch your your channel. Nick has grown into a fine strong man.😁
Thanks for all the comments views and support! Ive been on here for 14 years and I feel the same way. Why hasnt my channel grown any? Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I think we share the same curse of algorithms, lol. I was making videos when you started but never got any traction so I stopped while you kept plodding along. Only recently did I start a new channel and start making new content. Hats off to you.
I have been considering buying a Kelly Kettle and now I think I am sold on it. The simplest method I can think of to steady up the table is to drill 3 holes in the top, insert some nails, or screws, and position the legs so the nails are in the ends of the legs. Anxiously waiting on the bike/trailer video. I really appreciate the format of your videos and the info presented. Thank you.
Im shocked at how little wood boiled water as fast as it did. Not only is this kettle good gear but perfect for burn bans where you cant have a camp fire. I'm definitely going to modify that table. Its too unstable like it is.Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching George
Great Father's Day gift Nick! You guys made my Friday...now it's time to make me some coffee. Watching your videos is always the first thing I do when I roll out of bed on Fridays! Take care. You guys mean the world to me.
I’ve been watching every video now for 4 years. Also went back and watched, repeatedly, ALL your videos since you started. I thought on this one, for some reason, that the older we get, the more comfort we want! Lol and I’ve seen the progression in your videos as well. We care about comfort the older we get and I’m finding that at in my life now as well. You’re a hard working family man who loves making content and interacting with people on here about bush-crafting! Nick is following in your footsteps and as a grown man now he probably has ideas of his own. Continuing the content maybe?? If not, what a great father to learn from about what y’all love. Side note, I love how you ask, the Best camera man in the world, if he’s still getting the shots on the camera! 😂😂😂 He’s well seasoned camera man! And I know you know that. You could have monetized your channel and made a great amount of money off these yet you do it because you love it and not for the love of money. That says a lot brother! Nick it’s a wonderful thing to see a father and son together in a wayward world nowadays. Keep up the good fight as long as y’all can and we’ll keep watching this great content! God bless y’all!
Exactly 💯. That's why he's the last survival guy I'm still watching after 20 years of interest in survival so before it got full mainstream and industrialised.
Thank you Brett! Man I remember when I was younger and first got into the wilderness. I loved to challenge myself and eat sleep and camp with minimal gear and maximum miser just to prove I could do it. No way now! I am all about comfort. I make a good living off my job so youtube is my fun hobby. I think if it ever turned into a job it would ruin the fun for me. Thanks for all the views and support and Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 😂 same story here, Dave. Survival is just just pure misery but you learn that with time. When you're younger it's just a challenge and all fun. I remember when I bought my first books of Tom Brown Jr. I'm in Poland so I ordered them from States at the time and chances are I was the only guy here having those books. Like all of them. And I thought I found the Holly Grail. I just have to go to the woods with a knife and I'll be fine. 😂 😆 Oh, cluelessness. I bet you can imagine how it went. Instead of feasting on 🦌 and🐇 all I could find was 🌲. And that was before all those survival UA-cam industry. Now I'm looking at those poor kids from new generations and I just feel sad for them. I understand they want freedom like I did but... that's why I stand with you 💯 on your minimum kit philosophy.
What a kickass father's day gift! That kettle doesn't mess around seen a lot of folk's show them off. For me father's day was just me an a co-worker fishing all day. It was great an caught a mess of fish to bring home an eat. Have a good weekend brother.
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Oh that kettle boils fast with very little wood! Any day spent fishing is a good day! Im glad you liked it and Thanks for watching
Great Father’s Day gift Nick! You guys never change, never grow up, never let the old man in, As Clint Eastwood once said.😊 I think I started watching about 7 years ago, I remember a very special girl told me that she watched you guys too, I haven’t talked to her in a very long time, hopefully she is still watching you and Nick. Its been so much fun watching you guys and watching Nick grow into a fantastic young man. I will be watching you guys for many more years to come!😊
Nice machete, Dave. Good job Nick. Those camp chairs seem worth it. I may have to visit Aldi’s and get a couple. I have to say, that when the two of you are together in the woods, you look like you have more fun. And that is priceless. Good video, fellas. See ya next time.
Awesome Father's Day gift! The table is a good start. It needs a way to keep the top stationary. I've heard of the Kelley Kettle before but never seen it in use. It boils water unbelievably fast with very little wood. Thank you for the video.
The first time I saw a Kelly Kettle was visiting my wife's parents up in Labrador. We spent the day out fishing in their boat then headed to shore for a boil up. The Kelly Kettle worked amazing. I like those chairs too but I have to tell you I've been taking a hammock chair into the woods with me these past few months and it has impressed me every single time. It weighs nothing. Can be carried in a pocket and with 15foot straps on each end I haven't found a spot I can't hang it. Great to see you and Nick out having some fun in the woods Dave. Right on!
Hi Dave, you really need to coin the phrase "Dave's big reveal" for when you unpack your bag and show us what new/created/old stuff you will be using! Myself personally, I coin the phrase every time I watch one of your videos, it's like "Okay, here's Dave's big reveal" because you never know what you might pull out of the pack, and with that said, Rock On my friend!
I like the rest of your stuff Dave, but I agree with Nick about carrying the steel table top. Still, we'll like it, just so long as you're the one carrying it. 😉
A few earth magnets on the legs to grab hold of the table top would add stability to the table without adding too much more weight. Just a thought. Always enjoy your channel and content.
That would work great on carbon steel but these legs and table top are non magnetic stainless steel. Im probably going to have to weld some stuff to it. We are glad you like the channel. Thanks for watching Steve
Awsome Father's Day gift and anytime you get to spend time with your son outdoors is a gift from God! Thanks for the wonderful video, Dave! Just an FYI: If it were me (and it's not of course😉) I would keep it a three legged table, because tripods are always more stable on uneven ground. I would just mark where the legs meet the bottom of the table in the most central location, and add some weld bead in a crescent shape just slightly larger than the diameter of the legs, then cut the legs off at an angle to make them lay flush against the bottom, and locked into the crescent shaped "walls" to keep them from slipping out sideways. Or even a small piece of tubing about 1/2" long slipped over the end of the legs and welded onto the bottom at the angle needed to keep the legs locked into place. Neither option would take up that much more room in the pack, and would greatly enhance the stability. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great adventures with Fun in the Woods!
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Oh Im definitely going to mod the table. I think Im going to do similar to what you mentioned and Ill add sockets to the underneath of the table. Im glad you liked it and Thanks for watching
Great video! On that table, why don't you drill a hole in each corner and use a bungee on each corner and hook them around the legs below the disk. Or something close to that. That should stabilize the table. Or even going to the bottom of the leg and hooking it there. I was given a Kelly Kettle recently from my wife after wanting one for years. I just love that thing!! My favorite thing is seeing those flames shoot out the top. Roast your hot dogs right there. I have the whistling plug. Cool deal. And I love that machete!! This was a fun video!
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Bungees would definitely work but, Ill probably just break down and weld some sockets to the underneath for the legs to seat in. Im really loving the kettle so far!Thanks for watching
Watching this video at my river camp, the Hiro machete is awesome. Those chair are nice, I want to get those for sure. Really liked that Kelly kettle. These videos are so laid back and enjoyable, thanks Dave and Nick
The older kettles had cork plugs and you did not use them when boiling. I had no idea these new silicone plugs had whistles in them and were safe for use during boiling. Thanks for watching.
What an awesome Father's Day gift. Seems Nick likes to drink coffee I've always heard called mud. I'm right there with you Nick. Have an awesome rest of the weekend.
That Stanley coffee press is a good item. I have had one for years now. It is used daily. For those that don't know it will hold temp for a decent time.
The Kelly Kettle is so cool. I bet it was so fun having Nick hang out with you. Love watching you two together. My son is 24 this year. I sure hope to get outdoors with him more this summer....or better yet fall and winter. I so look forward to your videos. So upbeat. Just glad I found your channel. Bless your heart doing these videos. I know it probably isnt easy with your busy schedule
Thanks Tanja, Im glad you liked it. I love this kettle! And it is always more fun with Nick around. Definitely get out in the woods with your son every chance you get. These videos take a lot of time but they are fun to film. Thanks for watching
Yeah a city full. That's A trip. I'm a look into that French press and I like Nicks Thermos. its not a pink 32 oz. Sippy cup. Its Stanley. Its Army green outdoor hardworking old school.drab, kinda like me😂
Weld a little ring to the bottom of your table and use a piece of small bungee cord that hooks onto the green center piece I may help keep the table top from moving around or I have a factory made folding table about the same size but it has a corduroy top with a bungee on each corner that comes down and hooks onto a ring on each leg. It’s 4 legged though but just a couple ideas. But Dave you are such a smart handy guy you will figure it out. Nice Father’s Day present Nick got you. He’s a great young man you thought him well
@@Reallybigmonkey1 no problem brother. I watch you all the time I love when you come up with something new. Love the jelly pot bug holy cow I went on eBay and they are not cheap. I only have use of one hand and arm so I’m always trying to figure out a way to do things one handed it’s both a challenge and rewarding when I figure out a new way to do something. Keep those videos coming. I’m just recovering from a shattered kneecap surgery im getting a late start to my summer adventures. Man I think I watched every one of your videos at least 3 times while I was laid up for 2 months
Super cool of Nick to get you that machete for Father's Day. We have a basecamp Kelly kettle. We've had it for around 15 years and love it. The only downside of it was we have the stainless steel version and the rivets they used were aluminum. So once I got those drilled out and replaced with a stainless ones problem solved and has been going strong ever since. Definitely going to check out local Aldi to see if they have any chairs left. They look really nice and with that material on the base would be great for the beach or other soft places that normal chairs sink in. God bless and stay safe.
Definitely the best Fathers day present ever! Thats great your kettle has lasted so long! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too Rich!
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Id love to be rough on it but seeing that theres only been three for sale in 20 years its probably irreplaceable! Thanks for watching Mike
Scored a great gift from Nick. That Kelly kettle is way cool. The flames popping out just made it even better. Glad to see Nick in another video. Still anticipating this new bike and trailer review. Take care, stay healthy, and happy. Until the next video.
Oh best gift ever Matt! Im glad you liked it. Funny how I knew the flames will come out but it still always thrills me to see them! Thanks for watching Brother!
A gift that is hard to top! In seeing that Hiro in action is looking like a chopping beast! This collectable being destine for instant retirement gives me mixed feelings. . . Kinda like buying a sports car that is never meets the road. Kelly Kettle design beats that volcano by far. Bigger Kelly Kettle seams more reasonable for cooking atop. Fun video Thank you guys for your time. Stay lifted & enjoy your weeks end!
Oh Id love to chop more often with that machete but seeing how theres only been three for sale in the last 20 years I bet its irreplaceable! We are glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
1 can always learn more. This channel is essential, and in today's world , viewers would do well to try to watch all the videos, will learn a lot. Definitely appreciate this channel and how the videos are made , My favorite video was the indepth Compass video.
Looking at Nick's beard makes me realize how long I've been watching and learning from this channel. Since before the aluminum shovel/hatchet. Before the insulated tent. Been a good time so far peeps. Thanks for all the uploads.
Kelly kettle is darn good kit. They boil water before your wood gets lit. I fill it with water and set it on before building a fire. It can boil water on trash paper even. I can't believe you just finally got one.
I love your sewing skills. My BAG problem is, i got some bags. Put stuff in the bags, forget what is inside the bags. Got to find something, so i got to dig through all the bags to find it. If i pack a back pack its so heavy when done i cant lift it never mind lug it. I began buying ladies clutch bags to put small stuff into. But i think if your patience and skill to make a special bag for all your gear. Im jealouse. I am 72, a woman and should know how to sew a simple bag for gear. But i dont.? Thinking of buying some of those back pack chairs. Got a smaller car, go gold orosoecting and need all my camping gear. Got to jettison the cots. They take to much room, and i need my high banker. Organization is the huge KEY.
Thanks! for years and years I made gear of all sorts and got sick of looking for bags that fit. I gave hand sewing a try and hated it! I finally broke down and bought a sewing machete and started sewing. I learned by watching youtube videos and by practice. And just like everything else you do, the more you sew the easier it gets and the better your projects will be. Oh by the way, I actually have a cat named Cleo too! Take care and thanks for watching!
I like using pruning shears and small limb cutters when I'm using a twig stove, helps to keep the pieces from flying everywhere like that. Also a good idea usually to stir after adding water to your French press.
Hi Dave and Nick, Beautiful machete for Father's Day! the table is really neat too. If you could make something to hold the legs to the tabletop, it would be awesome. I haven't been to Aldi's in a while. Sometimes you can find some neat stuff there. I'll have to check and see if they have those chairs over here. The peach coffee sounds good. I like the Kelly Kettle Trekker, not too big like the other sizes I've seen videos on. Awesome. Great video, take care guys. 👍🏻☕
Hello Jeff and we are glad you liked it all!Im planning on welding some sockets underneath the table to hold the legs. After this video its just too unstable like it is. Thanks for watching Brother
I can see those mini chairs being real handy in more urban areas or places where there aren't many trees. I just cant get over your idea about taking the seats out of old camp chairs and stringing them up in the trees. Those things are very strong with those huge grommets and pack into nothing, perfect in the forest. Its also a good idea to wear a sitting pad on your belt, be it closed cell foam or layers of wool and mylar. You see a lot of soldiers in Ukraine wearing such a sitting pad. Additionally traditional Native Americans wear what appears to be a loin cloth on the outside of their buckskin pants, the back flap is for sitting on and the front flat is for drying your hands. Detach the front flap for all kinds of used, instead of a buckskin loincloth you can basically shove one of your doo rags or a micro fiber towel down the front of your belt. You might consider polishing that stainless steel table top to a mirror finish. I wonder if you can make your own version of this kettle with threaded pipes. I always pour my coffee back and forth between two cups when i want to cool it faster, the higher and slower you pour the more the air will cool it.
Yep, chairs with no frames are meant for trees and paracord! Oh, I was thinking about welding a huge version of a kelly kettle but, thatll be a cold weather project. Take care and Thanks for watching
lv yal. thanks Nick. I subscribed and like because you took the time to share your learning and wisdom. I am over 60 ,,,, Still live and breathe in Alaska.,,,,, again .. I did learn much from your time. ,,,, Thank 4 ur time. No need to reply ,,,, I don’t…. !
I started today feeling a bit down, but watching this video & seeing the great father-son relationship you guys have, really cheered me up. That & the wobbly table! 😉
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Thank you for the videos. I have been watching for years now. The green plug is a fairly new thing, the old ones have to be loose or left out like you did in the video. One more Kelly kettle tip... It's easy to burn your hand over the chimney when you lift it off the base. Instead, raise the handle straight out sideways, them hold the handle with both hands (still sideways not over the top) and lift the kettle of the base and set it down. Them you can raise the handle up and pour just like you did in the video without burning your hand on the heat from the stove base coming through the chimney.
The Table = 3 legs are better than 4, I would suggest thread the 3 rods on one end and weld 3 bolts on an angle you like under the table top. OR drill 3 Holes in the tabletop for the rods to stick through. But then you may want to sew a bag for the tabletop to protect the gear in your backpack from the nuts. if youw ent that way. Sturdy AF both ways when done. Happy Father's day, Nice gift Nick.
Man, that thing was boiling away whilst you were prepping the coffee- Could hear it on the sound! The thermal transfer from flame to water through a thin wall large surface area chimney means VERY rapid boil - sometimes in a minute or two.!! The original efficient heater long before Jetfoil et al ! You've unleashed the volcano.... Thanks for an entertaining channel - inventive and adaptive as usual - and prepared to admit when it does have minor setbacks or need further development .... Cheers
You're very observant! I wasn't sure how much of that rumbling effect could be heard on video but that is the true sign of fast boiling! I'm glad you like my channel and thanks for watching
Well hey there Dave and Nick! It's always great to see you guys out in the woods enjoying some time together. Man, that machete was definitely one sweet Father's Day gift! I know without a doubt that it will be treasured always! Thanks for another great video guys! 👍
Hello John! It's always great to be in the woods and even better spending time with Nick. That machete is definitely a treasure in my book! Take care and thanks for watching brother!
Love seeing Nick with you great father son relationship 👍 And I didn’t know Stanley made a French press that big. I’ve gotta have one. Tell Nick I said thanks for treating his Dad good.
Thanks Adam, Im glad you liked it. That French press is so large it could easily hold double what the Kelly Kettle holds! Nick is the best son anyone could ever ask for! Thanks for watching
Way to go NIck! What an awesome Father's Day gift. The table is ingenious, like so much of your DIY kit. The Kelly Kettle has always fascinated me. You used to see them all the time on videos and Amazon. I had totally forgot about them. Some nice looking woods. I hate that all of our National Forest here are pretty much completely devoid of bushcrafting resources, other than fat wood. For some reason, most of the roads to the hardwood areas have been gated and are walk-in only except from 9/1 through 1/1. It really cuts down on any decent place to disperse camp. However, now that I have my new Velotric Summit electric mountain bike I hope to be able to get to some decent areas to camp. I have it decked out with two Ortlieb waterproof panniers, a waterproof trunk, and two waterproof fork bags. I have it completely loaded with my gear and ready to go. Enjoyed the video Dave and Nick....best wishes.
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Thats bad you dont have many areas to go to but with that E bike itll open up a whole new world! Im glad you liked it and thanks for watching
Another great time with Father & Son in the woods. Kelly kettle looks like a great addition to a kit. Table concept is awesome. Recon some load stone magnets on the ends of the legs would help steady the table? Just curious. Anyway great to see you all out doing things together. Enjoy your adventures. -Tony
Thanks tony! We are glad you liked it. Magnets would work if this was carbon steel but its non magnetic stainless steel.Im probably going to have to do some welding to the table to fix it.Thanks for watching
I've never seen a Kelly Stove! Now that one works so very awesome! Can this stove heat soup? Food? You for yourself one awesome son and one awesome Father's Day gift! You've recommended machetes in the years past, I can never find them.....sad! Great channel too!
Im glad you liked it. No food inside, water only. It would be tough to clean. I hate it but over the years some of the best machetes Ive ever used or shown have been taken out of production. I have no idea why. Theres a lot of weird useless designs being made now tho. Lol. Thanks for watching Robert!
G'day Father & Son.! Really appreciate Nick making the time to do the Kelly Kettle vid & furthermore meeting & rubbing shoulders with The Legend Joe Flowers. That's a video in itself.! We have watched your vid for years & seeing Nick growing up, basically making us his adopted parents...so where's our machete Nick.??? We have something similar to the Kelly but shorter & fatter, it works the same way though. It cooks & boil at the same time. Also reckon it looks like a tiny still for making moonshine.! Hmmm..light bulb ideas. Love the table & chairs. First time we see you in t-shirts, must be quite warm over there. We are having winter here in Australia. Snowing in the Eastcoast but raining in the West. Beautiful green location mate. Looking forward to the SHTF bike. Big cheers from Australia.
Good day and We are glad you liked it! It is awesome Nick growing up here on UA-cam. How many kids can say that? Oh hes not rich enough to buy everyone a machete so yall will have to just look at mine. Lol. Its extremely hot her, its been getting up to 97F or 36C. Thanks for watching
The Japanese are masters at polishing one method is called zaratsu there is a watch company called “gran seiko “ the zaratsu polish the cases and hands for their watches it is amazing . Everything the Japanese do is a process everything is beautiful. I love their culture
At 2:58 I see Nick has good taste in machetes. A Ken Onion classic. The "Chance in Hell" layed out very similar to how I have mine coupled. That Hiro looks like a dandy, as well.
Hi, I love my Kelly Kettle, use the silicone plug and it whistles like a tea kettle. I don't think I would use the table to hold it. Great video, regards, Mike
Hello Mike and Im glad you liked it. The older kettles had cork plugs that you did not use when boiling. I had no idea the new ones had whistles built into them. Thanks for watching
Dave, im Irish and i use a Kelly kettle every time i go fishing...its an incredible device. It boils water in double quick time no matter what the weather. I think its an Irish invention...Nice to see you reviewing it
Love that table, Dave. Four legs is a very good idea, plus the addition of some sort of retention on each corner of the table top to push the legs into.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I'm planning on welding three leg sockets underneath that table top. It's way too unstable like it is. Thanks for watching
Dave, I enjoyed seeing Nick filming you again, I have the same two camp chairs & matching table you're setting up in the video, they sure beat sitting on the ground summer or winter. Some time ago I made comment about your Wood Badge hat and asked you 'want you do for a living' you said "I'm a Machinist & Welder," I have a new appreciation for you and your chosen vocation, over a year ago I found and have been watching Kurtis, Karen, Homeless (their Dog), George & his gang of wild birds making up their Machinist/Welding shop "Cutting Edge Engineering" in 'Australia,' I've wondered countless times if you also watch Kurtis Karen and the gang over yonder? Y'all Be & Stay Well across the way.
Great Video ! Glad to see that there is an appreciation for some of the cool stuff that ALDI has to offer. I saw those this year and now a pair live in the car. Just in case. Fantastic gift from Nick Regarding flavored coffee. I've always found it a disappointment. Coffee is one of those things that shouldn't be messed with. That includes adding milk and sugar. Just my personal taste.
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Uusally every flavored coffee Ive tried I hated. This was one of the few exceptions so its a good one in my book! Thanks for watching
loads of fun. im just under ths 240 weight limit so i want some of those chairs. we do have an Aldi nearby. ok here is an idea, again. when you first put the chair together you put the metal poles into a cup type sewn in piece. they were also on the top part of the chair. put either 3 o 4 metal cup type "cups" on the bottom of your table to hold the legs stable. you need to put me on retainer if you like my cool ideas.
Thanks David, Im glad you liked it. I believe your cups welded to the table idea will work! I gotta do something because its too unstable like it is now. Thanks for watching Brother!
I could smell that Georgia peach all the way down here! Love y'all's setup. I always wanted to try that kettle, pretty cool. Awesome Son getting you that Father's day gift. Kudos Nick! God bless y'all Brother Dave ~John
Was intrigued with that coffee... ordered some from Amazon but they only had it in whole bean so as long as I remember to pack my grinder I'll be fine...hahahaha Very cool Machete I think those chairs would be comfortable but I'm afraid I would become a permanent fixture in it when I tred to get up...lol
Aldi's originally a German supermarket / grocery retailer expanding worldwide. I've been a customer there for about my whole life (of course my mum took me / shopped there, when I was too young). A lot changed since the founders (two brothers) passed away years ago.
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Thank you for the great content! I really enjoy your videos and I like your humor, especially the "Hey everybody" at the beginning. 😃👍
Hey David always look forward to you Sir. I never miss you but I suck at commenting because it's usually between the time I get home from work and the time to go to bed during the week which is 3hrs at best so I stream UA-cam on my firestick and the it's time to go to bed 😫 So I just wanted to say that I loved the machete and that coffee press was cool too. Also I love the father son bond you and Nick have. It's a beautiful thing Sir. 👍🏾😎
Hey, guys. Nice video. Happy belated father's day. Nick, you did good son, you got dad a gift he actually wanted, and something he really wanted. Your stove seemed to work really well. Turning a kettle into a rocket stove, simple ideas are the best. Great seeing y'all out together. Chairs are nice, but way to low for me, I need something a little taller. You'll find that out when you figure out you've got more years than you think. LOL Can't wait to see tge bike build, I'm certain it's gonna be good. God bless y'all and y'all stay safe out there playing with the black widows. Be sure and don't take any home with ya !!!
Thanks Brian, I'm glad you liked it all. I thought those chairs were too short too until I sat in them and I love them now! Hopefully the bike will bff finished in time for the next upload. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too
Happy Father’s Day Dave! Great gift there Nick! That’s one beautiful machete! I’ve seen those types of chairs on other channels but now that they’re Dave and Nick approved I’m ready for one. Man that Kelly Kettle turns a twig fire into a blast furnace! Talk about efficient! Dave what if you determined the optimum height of the table, figured the leg spread to reach that height and welded sockets on the tabletop in the corresponding spots? A socket the legs could fit in. It could still be just the tabletop weight holding it together, maybe a clevis pin or a friction fit. Just an idea. Can’t wait for the bike and trailer video!
Thank you Steve and We are glad you liked it. It is incredible how such a small amount of wood will boil water with that kettle. That little plastic ring isnt too heavy so Ill keep it but I love the idea of welded sockets to hold the legs! Thanks for watching Brother Steve
You need some copper tube winding from the Kelly kettle to the Stanley French press and invent the coffee still. Maybe the Italians beat you to it with their expresso machines. Happy Fathers Day Dave. You are a great son Nick.
Great video has always Dave and it's always fun to see Nick with you. I'll have to look for those chairs at Aldis, we have them in Minnesota. Black Widows in the woods no thank you! When I'm truckin through Florida and George I usually don't even get out of my truck. I love the outdoors but I'm a wimp, no spiders or gators for me LOL. That Kelly Kettle was interesting. I like the stove. I enjoy backpacker woodstoves and I make alot of them out of soup and coffee cans. Its to hot and buggy for me right now to be in the woods too much. Hoping to get out of my canoe in the water soon. I am already looking forward to fall. Anywho great video! Have a great day!🙂
Thanks Marty, Im glad you liked it. People talk about ants and black flies but never realize how many black widow spiders love living in the leaf and pine duff on the forest floor. Its quite shocking! Those chairs are amazingly strong and comfortable. Thanks for watching and you have a great weekend Marty!
You guys are great!! I loved that moment at the end when Nick gave a smile and a thumbs up! Obviously great to see you too Dave!! 😊 That Kelly kettle looks badass!! I always wanted to watch one of those Kelly kettles boil water!! That was really cool!! You guys take care!! NQU
Hi Dave and Nick! This is the second time I have seen one of those chairs. I watch a UA-cam guy in the UK that does Motorcycle travel videos, and he uses one with his camp set-up. The Kelly is a cool bit of kit indeed!
Earl here! Have been watching this channel for well over 12 years! Everyone here should know that Nick was and still is one of the best guys I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Unbridled work ethic! That machete is an awesome Father's Day gift! Look forward to seeing the mountain bike Dave!

It took years of ties and jumbo packs of underwear and socks, but you finally got a great Father's Day gift! Good job Nick 👍😆
Lol! Oh the typical Father's Day presents! Thanks for watching my friend
Love the Kelly kettle, 100 plus year old technology that works great yet today.
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Tried tested and proven over time! Thanks for watching
Great Father's Day gift Nick! You guys made my Friday...now it's time to make me some coffee. Watching your videos is always the first thing I do when I roll out of bed on Fridays! Take care. You guys mean the world to me.
Thanks Steve! Oh believe me, nothing will ever top this Fathers day gift! Im glad you liked it, enjoy the coffee and Thanks for watching
I’ve been watching every video now for 4 years. Also went back and watched, repeatedly, ALL your videos since you started. I thought on this one, for some reason, that the older we get, the more comfort we want! Lol and I’ve seen the progression in your videos as well. We care about comfort the older we get and I’m finding that at in my life now as well. You’re a hard working family man who loves making content and interacting with people on here about bush-crafting! Nick is following in your footsteps and as a grown man now he probably has ideas of his own. Continuing the content maybe?? If not, what a great father to learn from about what y’all love. Side note, I love how you ask, the Best camera man in the world, if he’s still getting the shots on the camera! 😂😂😂 He’s well seasoned camera man! And I know you know that. You could have monetized your channel and made a great amount of money off these yet you do it because you love it and not for the love of money. That says a lot brother! Nick it’s a wonderful thing to see a father and son together in a wayward world nowadays. Keep up the good fight as long as y’all can and we’ll keep watching this great content! God bless y’all!
Exactly 💯. That's why he's the last survival guy I'm still watching after 20 years of interest in survival so before it got full mainstream and industrialised.
Thank you Brett! Man I remember when I was younger and first got into the wilderness. I loved to challenge myself and eat sleep and camp with minimal gear and maximum miser just to prove I could do it. No way now! I am all about comfort. I make a good living off my job so youtube is my fun hobby. I think if it ever turned into a job it would ruin the fun for me. Thanks for all the views and support and Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 😂 same story here, Dave. Survival is just just pure misery but you learn that with time. When you're younger it's just a challenge and all fun. I remember when I bought my first books of Tom Brown Jr. I'm in Poland so I ordered them from States at the time and chances are I was the only guy here having those books. Like all of them. And I thought I found the Holly Grail. I just have to go to the woods with a knife and I'll be fine. 😂 😆 Oh, cluelessness. I bet you can imagine how it went. Instead of feasting on 🦌 and🐇 all I could find was 🌲. And that was before all those survival UA-cam industry. Now I'm looking at those poor kids from new generations and I just feel sad for them. I understand they want freedom like I did but... that's why I stand with you 💯 on your minimum kit philosophy.
What a kickass father's day gift! That kettle doesn't mess around seen a lot of folk's show them off. For me father's day was just me an a co-worker fishing all day. It was great an caught a mess of fish to bring home an eat. Have a good weekend brother.
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Oh that kettle boils fast with very little wood! Any day spent fishing is a good day! Im glad you liked it and Thanks for watching
My Friday night is complete again, the legendary BOYS Dave and Nick are back !😊
Yep it's time for ànother mountain bike episode again!
Fantastic to hear that Gunter!
What a wonderful gift from Nick! It's 8;30 PM and I am having a cup of coffee with ya all, something about watching you make coffee, does every time!
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Enjoy the coffee JLynn. We are glad you liked it and Thanks for watching
Great Father’s Day gift Nick! You guys never change, never grow up, never let the old man in, As Clint Eastwood once said.😊
I think I started watching about 7 years ago, I remember a very special girl told me that she watched you guys too, I haven’t talked to her in a very long time, hopefully she is still watching you and Nick. Its been so much fun watching you guys and watching Nick grow into a fantastic young man. I will be watching you guys for many more years to come!😊
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Its been a great time having Nick grow up on UA-cam! Im glad you liked it and Thanks for watching
Nice machete, Dave. Good job Nick. Those camp chairs seem worth it. I may have to visit Aldi’s and get a couple. I have to say, that when the two of you are together in the woods, you look like you have more fun. And that is priceless. Good video, fellas. See ya next time.
Thanks James, we are glad you liked it. Those chairs turned out way better than expected! We always have a great time together. Thanks for watching
Always glad to see father and son together. Great gift, Nick! Fun video!
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Im glad you liked it and Thanks for watching
Happy belated Father's Day, Dave!
Thank you Vin!
Awesome Father's Day gift! The table is a good start. It needs a way to keep the top stationary. I've heard of the Kelley Kettle before but never seen it in use. It boils water unbelievably fast with very little wood. Thank you for the video.
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Im definitely going to mod that tables legs. Im glad you liked it and Thanks for watching Mark
The first time I saw a Kelly Kettle was visiting my wife's parents up in Labrador. We spent the day out fishing in their boat then headed to shore for a boil up. The Kelly Kettle worked amazing. I like those chairs too but I have to tell you I've been taking a hammock chair into the woods with me these past few months and it has impressed me every single time. It weighs nothing. Can be carried in a pocket and with 15foot straps on each end I haven't found a spot I can't hang it. Great to see you and Nick out having some fun in the woods Dave. Right on!
Thanks for sharing that very cool story! I have a hammock chair too but in some cases it helps having a free standing chair. Thanks for watching
Hi Dave, you really need to coin the phrase "Dave's big reveal" for when you unpack your bag and show us what new/created/old stuff you will be using! Myself personally, I coin the phrase every time I watch one of your videos, it's like "Okay, here's Dave's big reveal" because you never know what you might pull out of the pack, and with that said, Rock On my friend!
Lol, I love that phrase! Ill try to remember that. Thanks for watching
Thanks for filming Dave & Nick! 😁👍🏼😁👍🏼
We are glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I like the rest of your stuff Dave, but I agree with Nick about carrying the steel table top.
Still, we'll like it, just so long as you're the one carrying it. 😉
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Lol, its not lightweight but very handy at camp! Thanks for watching
A few earth magnets on the legs to grab hold of the table top would add stability to the table without adding too much more weight. Just a thought. Always enjoy your channel and content.
That would work great on carbon steel but these legs and table top are non magnetic stainless steel. Im probably going to have to weld some stuff to it. We are glad you like the channel. Thanks for watching Steve
Awsome Father's Day gift and anytime you get to spend time with your son outdoors is a gift from God! Thanks for the wonderful video, Dave! Just an FYI: If it were me (and it's not of course😉) I would keep it a three legged table, because tripods are always more stable on uneven ground. I would just mark where the legs meet the bottom of the table in the most central location, and add some weld bead in a crescent shape just slightly larger than the diameter of the legs, then cut the legs off at an angle to make them lay flush against the bottom, and locked into the crescent shaped "walls" to keep them from slipping out sideways. Or even a small piece of tubing about 1/2" long slipped over the end of the legs and welded onto the bottom at the angle needed to keep the legs locked into place. Neither option would take up that much more room in the pack, and would greatly enhance the stability. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great adventures with Fun in the Woods!
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Oh Im definitely going to mod the table. I think Im going to do similar to what you mentioned and Ill add sockets to the underneath of the table. Im glad you liked it and Thanks for watching
We have Aldis in our area. They are good grocery stores. That machete looks awesome. Good to see Nick back.
As far as I know, Aldis doesn't allow GMOs. which is good right now.
Thats great Sam! Aldis is a pretty cool store. Thanks for watching
First off I want to start by saying thank you to Nick for giving your dad an awesome Father's Day gift!
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Im glad you liked it and Thanks for watching
Very handsome machete! Definitely a wall hanger!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It's definitely the nicest machete I've ever owned!
Great video! On that table, why don't you drill a hole in each corner and use a bungee on each corner and hook them around the legs below the disk. Or something close to that. That should stabilize the table. Or even going to the bottom of the leg and hooking it there. I was given a Kelly Kettle recently from my wife after wanting one for years. I just love that thing!! My favorite thing is seeing those flames shoot out the top. Roast your hot dogs right there. I have the whistling plug. Cool deal. And I love that machete!! This was a fun video!
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Bungees would definitely work but, Ill probably just break down and weld some sockets to the underneath for the legs to seat in. Im really loving the kettle so far!Thanks for watching
Mt man here up here the smokies been hot 85 outside good job 👍👍 to thumbs up 4 u guys
Its 95 here so Ill trade! Lol. We are glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Watching this video at my river camp, the Hiro machete is awesome. Those chair are nice, I want to get those for sure. Really liked that Kelly kettle. These videos are so laid back and enjoyable, thanks Dave and Nick
Thanks Alan! Im glad you liked it. Man that Hiro is like a work of art and them chairs are now my best friends! Lol. Thanks for watching Brother
Another episode of coffee with primitive Dave. I love Condor. Especially my "swamp romper".
I have that Swamp romper and I love it too!
Love my Kelly's kettle. Put the plug in and it will boil even quicker!
The older kettles had cork plugs and you did not use them when boiling. I had no idea these new silicone plugs
had whistles in them and were safe for use during boiling. Thanks for watching.
What an awesome Father's Day gift. Seems Nick likes to drink coffee I've always heard called mud. I'm right there with you Nick. Have an awesome rest of the weekend.
Oh man best Fathers day present ever! Mud, syrup, molasses, lol. Nick likes his coffee strong. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching
That Stanley coffee press is a good item. I have had one for years now. It is used daily. For those that don't know it will hold temp for a decent time.
Thanks for the info Scott!
The Kelly Kettle is so cool. I bet it was so fun having Nick hang out with you. Love watching you two together. My son is 24 this year. I sure hope to get outdoors with him more this summer....or better yet fall and winter. I so look forward to your videos. So upbeat. Just glad I found your channel. Bless your heart doing these videos. I know it probably isnt easy with your busy schedule
Thanks Tanja, Im glad you liked it. I love this kettle! And it is always more fun with Nick around. Definitely get out in the woods with your son every chance you get. These videos take a lot of time but they are fun to film. Thanks for watching
The factories in Seki City are where a LOT of the old...you guessed it..Cold Steel Japanese stuff was made.
Really? Thats cool to know! I whole city full of skilled craftsmen!
Yeah a city full. That's A trip. I'm a look into that French press and I like Nicks Thermos. its not a pink 32 oz. Sippy cup. Its Stanley. Its Army green outdoor hardworking old school.drab, kinda like me😂
Weld a little ring to the bottom of your table and use a piece of small bungee cord that hooks onto the green center piece I may help keep the table top from moving around or I have a factory made folding table about the same size but it has a corduroy top with a bungee on each corner that comes down and hooks onto a ring on each leg. It’s 4 legged though but just a couple ideas. But Dave you are such a smart handy guy you will figure it out. Nice Father’s Day present Nick got you. He’s a great young man you thought him well
I was about to suggest a small square or triangle of cabinet liner or silicone pot handle maybe?
Thats a great idea! I knew I needed to tweak it and thats a great start, Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 no problem brother. I watch you all the time I love when you come up with something new. Love the jelly pot bug holy cow I went on eBay and they are not cheap. I only have use of one hand and arm so I’m always trying to figure out a way to do things one handed it’s both a challenge and rewarding when I figure out a new way to do something. Keep those videos coming. I’m just recovering from a shattered kneecap surgery im getting a late start to my summer adventures. Man I think I watched every one of your videos at least 3 times while I was laid up for 2 months
Super cool of Nick to get you that machete for Father's Day. We have a basecamp Kelly kettle. We've had it for around 15 years and love it. The only downside of it was we have the stainless steel version and the rivets they used were aluminum. So once I got those drilled out and replaced with a stainless ones problem solved and has been going strong ever since. Definitely going to check out local Aldi to see if they have any chairs left. They look really nice and with that material on the base would be great for the beach or other soft places that normal chairs sink in. God bless and stay safe.
Definitely the best Fathers day present ever! Thats great your kettle has lasted so long! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too Rich!
I have the same chair and weigh 260. Been using it for over a year. Great video
Really? thats great to know that Dwayne. Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Very cool brother! Thats a badass machete! Dont go easy on it, it can handle it! 🎉
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Id love to be rough on it but seeing that theres only been three for sale in 20 years its probably irreplaceable! Thanks for watching Mike
@@Reallybigmonkey1 yeah that sucks they don't make them anymore looks like a beast!
Scored a great gift from Nick. That Kelly kettle is way cool. The flames popping out just made it even better. Glad to see Nick in another video. Still anticipating this new bike and trailer review. Take care, stay healthy, and happy. Until the next video.
Oh best gift ever Matt! Im glad you liked it. Funny how I knew the flames will come out but it still always thrills me to see them! Thanks for watching Brother!
A gift that is hard to top! In seeing that Hiro in action is looking like a chopping beast! This collectable being destine for instant retirement gives me mixed feelings. . . Kinda like buying a sports car that is never meets the road. Kelly Kettle design beats that volcano by far. Bigger Kelly Kettle seams more reasonable for cooking atop.
Fun video Thank you guys for your time. Stay lifted & enjoy your weeks end!
Oh Id love to chop more often with that machete but seeing how theres only been three for sale in the last 20 years I bet its irreplaceable! We are glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Nice to visit again Dave and Nick , awesome gift , have a great weekend, thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !
Thanks, Im glad you liked it Michael! Thanks for watching and you have a great weekend too!
1 can always learn more. This channel is essential, and in today's world , viewers would do well to try to watch all the videos, will learn a lot. Definitely appreciate this channel and how the videos are made , My favorite video was the indepth Compass video.
Thank you so much my friend! I try to make the videos as helpful as possible!
Love my Kelly Kettle 👍
They are awesome!
Looking at Nick's beard makes me realize how long I've been watching and learning from this channel.
Since before the aluminum shovel/hatchet. Before the insulated tent.
Been a good time so far peeps.
Thanks for all the uploads.
I'm old and he's older, lol. Thanks for all the years of views support and comments my friend!
Awesome Father’s Day gift!👍
Absolutely!
Kelly kettle is darn good kit. They boil water before your wood gets lit. I fill it with water and set it on before building a fire. It can boil water on trash paper even. I can't believe you just finally got one.
Its amazing how little fire it takes to boil water with it.
I love your sewing skills. My BAG problem is, i got some bags. Put stuff in the bags, forget what is inside the bags. Got to find something, so i got to dig through all the bags to find it. If i pack a back pack its so heavy when done i cant lift it never mind lug it. I began buying ladies clutch bags to put small stuff into. But i think if your patience and skill to make a special bag for all your gear. Im jealouse. I am
72, a woman and should know how to sew a simple bag for gear. But i dont.?
Thinking of buying some of those back pack chairs. Got a smaller car, go gold orosoecting and need all my camping gear. Got to jettison the cots. They take to much room, and i need my high banker. Organization is the huge KEY.
Thanks! for years and years I made gear of all sorts and got sick of looking for bags that fit. I gave hand sewing a try and hated it! I finally broke down and bought a sewing machete and started sewing. I learned by watching youtube videos and by practice. And just like everything else you do, the more you sew the easier it gets and the better your projects will be. Oh by the way, I actually have a cat named Cleo too! Take care and thanks for watching!
I like using pruning shears and small limb cutters when I'm using a twig stove, helps to keep the pieces from flying everywhere like that. Also a good idea usually to stir after adding water to your French press.
Very good ideas Jeremy!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Great video, as always, and good to see Nick! I use a French press every morning.
Hi Dave and Nick, Beautiful machete for Father's Day! the table is really neat too. If you could make something to hold the legs to the tabletop, it would be awesome. I haven't been to Aldi's in a while. Sometimes you can find some neat stuff there. I'll have to check and see if they have those chairs over here. The peach coffee sounds good. I like the Kelly Kettle Trekker, not too big like the other sizes I've seen videos on. Awesome. Great video, take care guys. 👍🏻☕
Hello Jeff and we are glad you liked it all!Im planning on welding some sockets underneath the table to hold the legs. After this video its just too unstable like it is. Thanks for watching Brother
I can see those mini chairs being real handy in more urban areas or places where there aren't many trees. I just cant get over your idea about taking the seats out of old camp chairs and stringing them up in the trees. Those things are very strong with those huge grommets and pack into nothing, perfect in the forest. Its also a good idea to wear a sitting pad on your belt, be it closed cell foam or layers of wool and mylar. You see a lot of soldiers in Ukraine wearing such a sitting pad. Additionally traditional Native Americans wear what appears to be a loin cloth on the outside of their buckskin pants, the back flap is for sitting on and the front flat is for drying your hands. Detach the front flap for all kinds of used, instead of a buckskin loincloth you can basically shove one of your doo rags or a micro fiber towel down the front of your belt.
You might consider polishing that stainless steel table top to a mirror finish. I wonder if you can make your own version of this kettle with threaded pipes. I always pour my coffee back and forth between two cups when i want to cool it faster, the higher and slower you pour the more the air will cool it.
Yep, chairs with no frames are meant for trees and paracord! Oh, I was thinking about welding a huge version of a kelly kettle but, thatll be a cold weather project. Take care and Thanks for watching
lv yal. thanks Nick. I subscribed and like because you took the time to share your learning and wisdom. I am over 60 ,,,, Still live and breathe in Alaska.,,,,, again .. I did learn much from your time. ,,,, Thank 4 ur time. No need to reply ,,,, I don’t…. !
I gotta reply with a Thanks David!
Thank you for new episode, guy. Always a pleasure.
you are very welcome and we are glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
You look badass swinging that Hiro! Love it Dave. What a wonderful gift. Great equipment as usual. Appreciate you sharing with us.
Thanks! Man it's a wicked machete and the best Fathers day present ever! I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching brother
I started today feeling a bit down, but watching this video & seeing the great father-son relationship you guys have, really cheered me up. That & the wobbly table! 😉
I'm sorry you felt down but fantastic to hear the video made you feel better!
Hey Dave, I love my Kelly kettle. That green plug on the new ones can be left in the neck, and whistles like a tea kettle when the water boils.
I had no idea that had a whistle built into it. Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Thank you for the videos. I have been watching for years now. The green plug is a fairly new thing, the old ones have to be loose or left out like you did in the video. One more Kelly kettle tip... It's easy to burn your hand over the chimney when you lift it off the base. Instead, raise the handle straight out sideways, them hold the handle with both hands (still sideways not over the top) and lift the kettle of the base and set it down. Them you can raise the handle up and pour just like you did in the video without burning your hand on the heat from the stove base coming through the chimney.
Great video guys
Thank you Rich!
The Table = 3 legs are better than 4, I would suggest thread the 3 rods on one end and weld 3 bolts on an angle you like under the table top. OR drill 3 Holes in the tabletop for the rods to stick through. But then you may want to sew a bag for the tabletop to protect the gear in your backpack from the nuts. if youw ent that way. Sturdy AF both ways when done. Happy Father's day, Nice gift Nick.
Those are good ideas, Im definitely going to mod it to make it safer! Thanks for watching
Man, that thing was boiling away whilst you were prepping the coffee- Could hear it on the sound! The thermal transfer from flame to water through a thin wall large surface area chimney means VERY rapid boil - sometimes in a minute or two.!! The original efficient heater long before Jetfoil et al ! You've unleashed the volcano....
Thanks for an entertaining channel - inventive and adaptive as usual - and prepared to admit when it does have minor setbacks or need further development .... Cheers
You're very observant! I wasn't sure how much of that rumbling effect could be heard on video but that is the true sign of fast boiling! I'm glad you like my channel and thanks for watching
Well hey there Dave and Nick! It's always great to see you guys out in the woods enjoying some time together. Man, that machete was definitely one sweet Father's Day gift! I know without a doubt that it will be treasured always! Thanks for another great video guys! 👍
Hello John! It's always great to be in the woods and even better spending time with Nick. That machete is definitely a treasure in my book! Take care and thanks for watching brother!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 It's always a pleasure my Brother... always a pleasure!
Take care and I hope y'all have a great 4th of July Dave!
@IntenseAngler Thanks John and a Happy 4th to you too brother
Love seeing Nick with you great father son relationship 👍 And I didn’t know Stanley made a French press that big. I’ve gotta have one. Tell Nick I said thanks for treating his Dad good.
Thanks Adam, Im glad you liked it. That French press is so large it could easily hold double what the Kelly Kettle holds! Nick is the best son anyone could ever ask for! Thanks for watching
Awesome video as always, guys!
Thanks Derek, Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Way to go NIck! What an awesome Father's Day gift. The table is ingenious, like so much of your DIY kit. The Kelly Kettle has always fascinated me. You used to see them all the time on videos and Amazon. I had totally forgot about them. Some nice looking woods. I hate that all of our National Forest here are pretty much completely devoid of bushcrafting resources, other than fat wood. For some reason, most of the roads to the hardwood areas have been gated and are walk-in only except from 9/1 through 1/1. It really cuts down on any decent place to disperse camp. However, now that I have my new Velotric Summit electric mountain bike I hope to be able to get to some decent areas to camp. I have it decked out with two Ortlieb waterproof panniers, a waterproof trunk, and two waterproof fork bags. I have it completely loaded with my gear and ready to go. Enjoyed the video Dave and Nick....best wishes.
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Thats bad you dont have many areas to go to but with that E bike itll open up a whole new world! Im glad you liked it and thanks for watching
Happi father day David may God bless you always
Thank you Lewis! Thanks for watching and may God bless you too!
always good to see nick
Always great to have him along! Thanks for watching
Another great time with Father & Son in the woods. Kelly kettle looks like a great addition to a kit. Table concept is awesome. Recon some load stone magnets on the ends of the legs would help steady the table? Just curious. Anyway great to see you all out doing things together. Enjoy your adventures. -Tony
Thanks tony! We are glad you liked it. Magnets would work if this was carbon steel but its non magnetic stainless steel.Im probably going to have to do some welding to the table to fix it.Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I learned something. I thought steel of any kind was magnetic. Well, now I know. LOL'
I've never seen a Kelly Stove! Now that one works so very awesome! Can this stove heat soup? Food?
You for yourself one awesome son and one awesome Father's Day gift!
You've recommended machetes in the years past, I can never find them.....sad!
Great channel too!
NO! Rlly kettles heat water exclusively. Everything else eill build up a sludge you cannot clean!
Chris
Im glad you liked it. No food inside, water only. It would be tough to clean. I hate it but over the years some of the best machetes Ive ever used or shown have been taken out of production. I have no idea why. Theres a lot of weird useless designs being made now tho. Lol. Thanks for watching Robert!
G'day Father & Son.! Really appreciate Nick making the time to do the Kelly Kettle vid & furthermore meeting & rubbing shoulders with The Legend Joe Flowers. That's a video in itself.! We have watched your vid for years & seeing Nick growing up, basically making us his adopted parents...so where's our machete Nick.??? We have something similar to the Kelly but shorter & fatter, it works the same way though. It cooks & boil at the same time. Also reckon it looks like a tiny still for making moonshine.! Hmmm..light bulb ideas. Love the table & chairs. First time we see you in t-shirts, must be quite warm over there. We are having winter here in Australia. Snowing in the Eastcoast but raining in the West. Beautiful green location mate. Looking forward to the SHTF bike. Big cheers from Australia.
Good day and We are glad you liked it! It is awesome Nick growing up here on UA-cam. How many kids can say that? Oh hes not rich enough to buy everyone a machete so yall will have to just look at mine. Lol. Its extremely hot her, its been getting up to 97F or 36C. Thanks for watching
Great video Rhanks!
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 always do. Just realized i said “Fhanks!” Meant “ Thanks!” Sorry I was tired last night. 😂
great to see you guys, always waiting for the next video. Special thanks to the nice people that sent you the kettle.
Always great to hear from you and Im glad you liked it. My friends Chris and Amanda are amazing people! Thanks for watching
The Japanese are masters at polishing one method is called zaratsu there is a watch company called “gran seiko “ the zaratsu polish the cases and hands for their watches it is amazing . Everything the Japanese do is a process everything is beautiful. I love their culture
Thanks for the info! Japan definitely has some master craftsmen
At 2:58 I see Nick has good taste in machetes. A Ken Onion classic. The "Chance in Hell" layed out very similar to how I have mine coupled.
That Hiro looks like a dandy, as well.
Both are really fun to chop with! Thanks for watching
Hi, I love my Kelly Kettle, use the silicone plug and it whistles like a tea kettle. I don't think I would use the table to hold it. Great video, regards, Mike
Hello Mike and Im glad you liked it. The older kettles had cork plugs that you did not use when boiling. I had no idea the new ones had whistles built into them. Thanks for watching
Dave, im Irish and i use a Kelly kettle every time i go fishing...its an incredible device. It boils water in double quick time no matter what the weather. I think its an Irish invention...Nice to see you reviewing it
Very cool, my Dads side of the family was all Irish. I can't remember where the Kelly Kettle is made but it is from the U.K. thanks for watching Brian
The way this cattle works is very interesting, maybe I'll diy something like that...
And super machete, that's a great gift 🔪 👍
I'm glad you liked it! The design of that kettle amazes me! Thanks for watching
Nice one Dave & Nick.
May I suggest Dave you attach rubber suckers to the table legs to attach the legs to the table to steady it??
Thanks Colin, Im glad you liked it. I think Im just going to weld three sockets under the table for the legs to fit into. Thanks for watching
Love that table, Dave. Four legs is a very good idea, plus the addition of some sort of retention on each corner of the table top to push the legs into.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I'm planning on welding three leg sockets underneath that table top. It's way too unstable like it is. Thanks for watching
Love Them Kettle's Great Machete Thanks For This Davie & Nick ! Love Stout Coffee ! ATB T God Bless
Thanks Terry, we are glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too brother!
Excellent I love your table, four legs would be better I think. Coffee sure looked good. Thanks for a great channel.
Thanks Ken, I'm glad you liked it all! I hope to modify the leg connections on that table. Thanks for watching
Dave, I enjoyed seeing Nick filming you again, I have the same two camp chairs & matching table you're setting up in the video, they sure beat sitting on the ground summer or winter. Some time ago I made comment about your Wood Badge hat and asked you 'want you do for a living' you said "I'm a Machinist & Welder," I have a new appreciation for you and your chosen vocation, over a year ago I found and have been watching Kurtis, Karen, Homeless (their Dog), George & his gang of wild birds making up their Machinist/Welding shop "Cutting Edge Engineering" in 'Australia,' I've wondered countless times if you also watch Kurtis Karen and the gang over yonder? Y'all Be & Stay Well across the way.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. No I haven't heard of them but sounds interesting! I'll look them up
Great Video ! Glad to see that there is an appreciation for some of the cool stuff that ALDI has to offer. I saw those this year and now a pair live in the car. Just in case. Fantastic gift from Nick
Regarding flavored coffee. I've always found it a disappointment. Coffee is one of those things that shouldn't be messed with. That includes adding milk and sugar. Just my personal taste.
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Uusally every flavored coffee Ive tried I hated. This was one of the few exceptions so its a good one in my book! Thanks for watching
loads of fun.
im just under ths 240 weight limit so i want some of those chairs. we do have an Aldi
nearby.
ok here is an idea, again.
when you first put the chair together you put the metal poles into a cup type sewn in piece.
they were also on the top part of the chair.
put either 3 o 4 metal cup type "cups" on the bottom of your table to hold the legs stable.
you need to put me on retainer if you like my cool ideas.
Thanks David, Im glad you liked it. I believe your cups welded to the table idea will work! I gotta do something because its too unstable like it is now. Thanks for watching Brother!
Fridays are so awesome when there’s a new fun in the woods video🎉. Thank you guys
Thanks Brother! We are glad you liked it and thanks for watching
WOW ! What a GREAT Fathers Day present. Neat gear & great trip guys. TAKE CARE..
Oh best Fathers day present ever! Im glad you liked it and Thanks for watching
I could smell that Georgia peach all the way down here!
Love y'all's setup. I always wanted to try that kettle, pretty cool. Awesome Son getting you that Father's day gift. Kudos Nick!
God bless y'all Brother Dave ~John
Oh man that was some good peachy coffee! We are glad you liked it. That kettle is awesome man, Thanks for watching and may God bless you too Brother!
Was intrigued with that coffee... ordered some from Amazon but they only had it in whole bean so as long as I remember to pack my grinder I'll be fine...hahahaha Very cool Machete I think those chairs would be comfortable but I'm afraid I would become a permanent fixture in it when I tred to get up...lol
Sounds good chuck! It was some really good coffee and normally I dont like it flavored. Those chairs are awesome! Thanks for watching Brother
Great video 👍
Thanks, Im glad you liked it!
Aldi's originally a German supermarket / grocery retailer expanding worldwide. I've been a customer there for about my whole life (of course my mum took me / shopped there, when I was too young). A lot changed since the founders (two brothers) passed away years ago.
Thanks for the info
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Thank you for the great content! I really enjoy your videos and I like your humor, especially the "Hey everybody" at the beginning. 😃👍
Be careful Nick! I drank some extra strong coffee one time when I was young. Now I'm bald with a shaggy carpet on my back. Lol.
Lol! Nick says thanks for the warning rod! Thanks for watching
Awesome stove & machete! )Nice job Nick 👍 ). Waiting to see when you lift the pot if shavings fall out !
~~~ Ramboo 😎
Thanks Ramboo, We are glad you liked it. I think those shavings got incinerated! Thanks for watching
It is good to see you two. Love you both. I will be trying that coffee. God bless you guys!!
Always great to hear from you Dianna and we are glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too!
Hey David always look forward to you Sir. I never miss you but I suck at commenting because it's usually between the time I get home from work and the time to go to bed during the week which is 3hrs at best so I stream UA-cam on my firestick and the it's time to go to bed 😫 So I just wanted to say that I loved the machete and that coffee press was cool too. Also I love the father son bond you and Nick have. It's a beautiful thing Sir. 👍🏾😎
Thanks for commenting brother and Im glad you liked it. I consider myself lucky to have such a good relationship with my son! Thanks for watching
Great show.! Thank you, gentlemen.! I cant wait to see the bike and trailer.!
(I did a screenshot of that coffee, so I could look it up later) 😋
Thanks, We are glad you liked it. That coffee was amazing! Thanks for watching
Good to see you again - Thanks for the wonderful video🌲🙏🌲Have a great weekend🐬🐬🐬
Always great to hear from you Ofer! Thanks for watching and you have a good weekend too!
Never had a Kelly kettle, might just have to give one a try after watching this .
Oh man its incredible! Thanks for watching
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO! IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE NICK. I ORDERED 2 SIMILAR CHAIRS FROM ONE TIGERUS.
ALWAYS WATCHING FROM NORTH ALABAMA!
Thanks Bart, I'm glad you liked it brother
Hey, guys. Nice video. Happy belated father's day. Nick, you did good son, you got dad a gift he actually wanted, and something he really wanted.
Your stove seemed to work really well. Turning a kettle into a rocket stove, simple ideas are the best.
Great seeing y'all out together. Chairs are nice, but way to low for me, I need something a little taller. You'll find that out when you figure out you've got more years than you think. LOL
Can't wait to see tge bike build, I'm certain it's gonna be good.
God bless y'all and y'all stay safe out there playing with the black widows. Be sure and don't take any home with ya !!!
Thanks Brian, I'm glad you liked it all. I thought those chairs were too short too until I sat in them and I love them now! Hopefully the bike will bff finished in time for the next upload. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too
Happy Father’s Day Dave! Great gift there Nick! That’s one beautiful machete! I’ve seen those types of chairs on other channels but now that they’re Dave and Nick approved I’m ready for one. Man that Kelly Kettle turns a twig fire into a blast furnace! Talk about efficient! Dave what if you determined the optimum height of the table, figured the leg spread to reach that height and welded sockets on the tabletop in the corresponding spots? A socket the legs could fit in. It could still be just the tabletop weight holding it together, maybe a clevis pin or a friction fit. Just an idea. Can’t wait for the bike and trailer video!
Thank you Steve and We are glad you liked it. It is incredible how such a small amount of wood will boil water with that kettle. That little plastic ring isnt too heavy so Ill keep it but I love the idea of welded sockets to hold the legs! Thanks for watching Brother Steve
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Yes keep the ring and legs just like you have them. Just add three sockets to fit them. I wish I had your machinist skills!
You need some copper tube winding from the Kelly kettle to the Stanley French press and invent the coffee still. Maybe the Italians beat you to it with their expresso machines. Happy Fathers Day Dave. You are a great son Nick.
Lol, thats a great idea! Thanks for watching
Great video has always Dave and it's always fun to see Nick with you. I'll have to look for those chairs at Aldis, we have them in Minnesota. Black Widows in the woods no thank you! When I'm truckin through Florida and George I usually don't even get out of my truck. I love the outdoors but I'm a wimp, no spiders or gators for me LOL. That Kelly Kettle was interesting. I like the stove. I enjoy backpacker woodstoves and I make alot of them out of soup and coffee cans. Its to hot and buggy for me right now to be in the woods too much. Hoping to get out of my canoe in the water soon. I am already looking forward to fall. Anywho great video! Have a great day!🙂
Thanks Marty, Im glad you liked it. People talk about ants and black flies but never realize how many black widow spiders love living in the leaf and pine duff on the forest floor. Its quite shocking! Those chairs are amazingly strong and comfortable. Thanks for watching and you have a great weekend Marty!
You guys are great!! I loved that moment at the end when Nick gave a smile and a thumbs up! Obviously great to see you too Dave!! 😊 That Kelly kettle looks badass!! I always wanted to watch one of those Kelly kettles boil water!! That was really cool!! You guys take care!! NQU
Thanks! Every time I see them flames coming up from a Kelly kettle I get excited! Take care and thanks for watching
Hi Dave and Nick! This is the second time I have seen one of those chairs. I watch a UA-cam guy in the UK that does Motorcycle travel videos, and he uses one with his camp set-up. The Kelly is a cool bit of kit indeed!
Hello Terry and We are glad you liked it. I cant believe more people havent tried them chairs! Thanks for watching
