      Try getting your Steel Toe Cap Work-Boots at a Size Larger than your actual Foot Size Dan, be Comfortable at Work too Mate.
      Many people make the Mistake of getting their Work Boots at the exact Same Size as their Regular Footwear, like Trainers or Shoes?
      Big Mistake.

    Hi Dan, I used to have one of those gas lights. I used to light it by turning the gas on and holding the match under the burner. As the gas is heavier than air it ignites so you don't need to take the top off each time. I've now subscribed to the vegan outdoorsman. Nearly at his first thousand. Great video again.

    I enjoy your videos as you are open and honest about things, you forget something almost all of the time (like everyone else), you seem so happy just to be out camping. You keep talking and waffling on, it's part of the appeal, who can honestly say that they don't waffle on or forget the names of things? You have gained yourself another subscriber, keep the videos coming.

  • @andykjohnsonjohnson7622
    @andykjohnsonjohnson7622 2 роки тому +3

    Nice video Dan 👍👍. Yeah here in B.C 🇨🇦, we have to take precautions on camping . Big knives, firearms, bear spray, as we have alot of wild life. That will take you out. Blk Bears 800lb + , cougars, Coyotes, Wolf's. The werst are raccoons, sneaky little Buggers 🙁. Will take every advantage on you, & they are NOT afraid of you. I always take my dog with me, he can sense approaching danger. So it's a symbiosis collaboration, he has my back & I have his. I watched every moment 👍👌 Dan , as I grow up in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, then moved to Canada 🇨🇦 28 years ago. I miss the English country side 😢

    Hej man nice video, I enjoyed it. First one I’ve seen from your channel. Just a quick tip, might work or it might not it depends. But usually my experience with MRE’s is that the flameless heater works better if you fill it slightly above the dotted line and use warmer water if possible.
    Also let the chemical pad soak up as much water as possible. You can kind of tilt the bag so the ”chem pad” can do it’s job. Let me know if it works better when/if you try it!

    @fatmanfaffing4116 2 роки тому

    Dan, those Gaz lamps are great but... the mantle is a pain to fit and they are fragile. I just use rechargeable LED units now, both headlamp and lantern. As for the trainers... I wear them because they are comfortable and get the job done. There is a saying that every pound on your feet adds ten to your back. I wear some very light Sketchers. I bought a pair of Merrell Moab 2 which are designed for trail hiking but they are 500g heavier and not as comfortable. Keep up the great work, never lose the Yorkshire accent; it's great to hear after 50 years in Australia. I'm originally from Stockton-on-Tees.
