    No trip video this week sorry guys, but this is a gear video I've been meaning to make for a long time and figured with my limited time these days I could easily take a few hours to give you guys some great gift ideas for the outdoorsy person in your life! Cheers!

    With the Yeti thing. I value your honesty over any "brand" name. I don't care if people don't like the brand if you think what you paid for it is worth it then that's what I value most as a viewer. If you like what you paid for I highly recommend you ALWAYS give us those thoughts. If it's worth the money, no matter what you paid, no matter what brand it is, people share it with us. I value that more than anything. Thank you.

    Hi Alexis, Love watching your channel. Don't apologize for showing products like YETI! It would be nice if the maker of this great cooler/dry storage box was a couple living off grid in a sustainable cabin made of kelp. Hey, it's a great product offered by a small corporation which employs over 700 people. I'm guessing that close to 99% of your viewers visit Walmart on a regular basis, although they would never admit it! Keep doing what you do & calling it like you see it...that makes for a happier life.

    Thank you so much for all your efforts in tracking down the best equipment available! After watching a previous video that had the Bushcraft Spain Groundcloth and Oilskin and Wool Napsack, I bought both on Black Friday and received them last week! Amazing gear and now I am looking at getting a tarp or tent from them soon, as well as one of their Merino Wool blankets( I believe those will be Heirloom items too). Thanks again for all your help in getting me the right gear the 1st time! Saves so much money this way! If you need a video Project idea: Go and tour the factory or shops of these awesome manufacturers like Bushcraft Spain and Saku! That would be an Epic European Bushcraft Tour! Probably plenty of places to camp there as well!

    Thank you for the fire steel info. I had asked about that in a previous video. The one you use is the only one that I've seen with a large handle.

    #1: I used a simple ferrorod without a handle and if I want one, I make my own. Lee Valley in canada has an amazing one for $9.99cad
    #2: You may be surprised by this, but titanium is not always the lightest. I personally don't like the sporks and prefer the normal stuff. Snow Peak has a titanium spoon but it's crap since the handle is way too thin. My preference goes to Sea To Summit. It's made of Haluit (spacecraft aluminum) and I only use the spoon and fork. I use my Bushcraft knife instead of the one coming with the kit.
    #3: Great headlamp. However, I have yet to find a tree with an USB plug. So, unless you plan to go out for a very short amount of time, avoid the USB-only headlamps. My preference goes to the Petzel 350 lumenssince I cuse either AAA batteries or a USB-pack. Best of both worlds and never out of light!
    #4 Nice whetstones! But I recently discovered the SHARPAL 1200 grit diamond pocket stone. It's credit-card size and it has a nice feature allowing you to hold it from under without the risk to cut your fingers. I don't remember how much I've paid for but it's under $20 at Lee Valley.
    #5 Those gloves and mits seems awesome!
    #6 too bulky, too heavy. Why have that when you can use your headlamp? Just suspend it or put it on a table facing upward.
    #7 KHID's pots are very good as well. However, my go to pot is a vintage aliminum pot bought brand new at a thrift store for... $2.50cad. It's even lighter than a titanium pot. Yes, it shows wear and it's not perfectly rounded anymore. But it adds to its charm and I saved tons of money over the weight. $2.50 and still going on after several years of uses. You can't go wrong with that!
    #8 BUG SHIRT... Read this... you NEED one!
    #9 Never used those. I get mine from the army surplus store $5 max.
    #10 Never used one but I may just get one depending on the cost.
    #11 Bucksaw: It's great, but as she said, it takes months and months to get one. My go to is the classic Boreal 21 from Agawa Canyon.
    #12 That Leatherman is good, but the best of the best multitool is made by Swiss Army.
    #13 Aqua quest is awesome.Get one!
    #14 Huskvarna is the axe to go and you'll save tons of money.
    #15 nice!
    #16 Nice Puko knife, but I wouldn't rely on it too much since it's not full tang.
    #17 That backpack is very good looking, but way too pricy for what it is. No way I'm going to pay $400 for this, even if handmade. I know well that industry and it's too pricy trust me.
    #18 You can often get 100% wool blankets from a thrift store. One thing here, make sure to read the label because most blankets out there, even the new ones are NOT 100% wool...
    #19 YETI cases are not that good. In fact, they are crap compared to the real high end ones. Get a NANUCK from Plasticase. It's made in Canada and not China, and simply the best you can get on the market.
    #20 seems interesting, however, at $291usd...Try to find someone local to make one for you. One VERY important thing here... You absolutely need to wash the wool BEFORE sewing it to the canvas otherwise it'll be real crap trust me. Also, you need to know that the wool they use is 80% wool and 20% cashmere. Cashmere is nice but on the very long term??? And that tarp is only 6'x6' so too small for many.

    Hi Alexis, Finally you're introduced most of your gears. I find that's brilliant. Most of your gears are high end and customs well made. I think next time, it would be better you ask the coupon code and the price for each item for your subscribed and others (in-case, they forget to find those link, you were listed above). It might not necessary but it's definitely better for those whose like your videos. It's okay to talk about something you think it might not include, such as your Yeti GoBox because, as today people always interesting things you're carry every time out there. I also find most of your gears are leathers. In my mind, sometimes I wanna call you "Leather (girl) woman".

      A super cheap super small option is a Brunton monocular that costs under $30. Nikon's monoculars are also great, good optics but bigger and more expensive. Nikon's TrailBlazer binocs are perfect for lightweight carrying like hiking or hunting and still affordable.

  • @budwilliams6590
    @budwilliams6590 Рік тому

    I recently bought a 26-inch Husqvarna axe based on your previous recommendations. I'm considering sending it back. The head is poorly fitted with large gaps on the lower side of the head. It will be loose in no time. I have done a bit of investigating on the quality of these (unfortunately after I bought) and found that this is not an uncommon thing. If you buy one plan on rehanging it. Can't say anything bad about Bushcraft Spain (except the price).

    • @careenaalexis
      @careenaalexis  Рік тому +1

      Thats unfortunate you had that experience with it, I have been using mine for going on 5 or so years now and I haven't had a single problem with it. I do not baby it either. The head is still very solid and the steel has held up amazingly well. I have to say I doubt the experience you had is the norm, but I've had unfortunate things like that happen with other good quality items and I'm sure it happens to everyone here and there.

    I know how you feel about your gear , my wife calls my pack my "MISTRESS" but , we take such a long time building our packs , it does become a love affaire I guess . Gear , weight , fun , once you get it right you're free to be wild . I suppose I'll be a gear junkie for life .

      i"ve done "whats in my pack" posts for what I mountain bike with...thirty years ago the joke on group rides was if I was there, everyone else could ride lighter by leaving their tools in their car or at home as I carried enough to disassemble and reassemble practically any bike, and I never bailed on a ride (though I was almost always at the back). I still carry way to much but I can also survive solo overnight if needed.

    Is the blanket soft or harsh and itchy ?

      In my opinion it's much softer compared to many wool garments and blankets I've had in the past.
