@@livingsurvival Yesterday I saw some guy cleaning off fatwood goo using hand sanitizer(HS). ...yeah, the silly rabbit's whole fire looked fatwood, and his kit looked horrible. But the HS worked. I wonder how it works on just soot? ...even fatwood goo off an axe sounds great. I'm getting some for my pack. tips me hat ~
@@livingsurvival After using it for a few years, I really love it, lightweight but the metal feels strong despite being so thin. Was expensive, but doesn't feel like a waste of money.
Strong push down the home stretch on your daily reviews! Great idea from start to finish so far! Nice way to show a variety of options, not only for weight, but the efficiency as well. That was one quick boil!
My name is Terry and I'm a Kayak Fishing Guide and Avid angler. I also film with a web based Kayak Fishing show called 30 Miles Out. I've always used a Camper to camp, on our trips but I had a divorce and had to sell my diesel and trailer. I have two boys 15 and 7 and my 7 yr old has a kayak and goes with me on most of my trips. He is an amazing fisherman for a young kid. Anyway, I changing tactics to get the boys more into the outdoors and teaching them camping and survival skills. I've been purchasing tools based on your reviews and wanted to say thank you for doing this channel. Too many products out there to not be armed with information before purchasing. Hopefully I can get a channel up this year to teach skills and review product uses in my arena. Maybe when that time comes you could give me some advise. :)
Titanium is stupid expensive and although very good gear, it is little more than a fantasy for most of us and show off gear for those who do have it. Cool gift from your infomercial friend:P
+TurtleWolf Pack lol. when cutting weight for backpacking for example it is a necessity for me. I'm taking a trip in Feb where we are backpacking in and i am taking a tipi and titanium wood stove. If it were stainless it would be too heavy.
Greg Letter nothing wrong with stainless, i have plenty of stainless kit. but with a full on backpacking pack for multi-day hikes you will be thankful you cut weight wherever you can. people cut tags out of items to save grams. so might not be for you but I don't do videos just for you now do i?
Great tips, but one question... Instead of using the moss to clean the soot, why not just rub it in the dirt where you cleared for the stove? "Natures Scotch pad". I am looking at the Emberlit Fire Ant, but the full size looks good too. Do you have any videos on a comparison and do they hold an Olicamp nesting cup well?
As you said, it's not cheap. But I think it's brilliant. But when it comes to customs duty, it is much more expensive, even if you live in europe. But I have this kit on my wishlist and maybe someday I buy it, if I saved enough money. Thanks for sharing.
Nice. I need a setup but this is a little out of my budget. I might baby-step into some basic kit stuff and then if I start really heading out and doing things where weight and longevity becomes factors upgrade. Thanks for the review.
It's good to have titanium for long trips that every ounce counts, but people like me that don't have the money for it have to deal with the weight of stainless.
I’m glad to see it’s coming down in price. You can find relatively cheap titanium from random Chinese brands on Amazon for much less than some years back
So I have been thinking about picking one of these up for a while I pulled the trigger on it and it's great the only thing that is weird is there an internal lip that stops the last bit of water from coming out like the neck of the canteen comes down past it's shoulders by almost a centimetre you can feel it with you finger (by feeling the inside the bottleneck, the very bottom part) , does yours have that or is mine a lemon? Keep up the good work
I avoid burning cedar for cooking due to higher soot production....choose other hardwoods that burn cleaner (although most any wood will soot up the cookware to an extent).....thumbs up!
Another reviewer did highlight a possible concern with canteens that have a fold/join in them, like this one does. Over time, it could be a good breeding ground for bacteria, maybe it's best to boil water in it occasionally.
Nice, definately looking at a woodstove. Just picked up a Ti Vargo 700ml BOT with handles (exclusive to Massdrop). Will see how good it is to put into my kit. What was that folding mat you put out? I want something like that too. Nice Vid.
Good friend?? I thought he was a late night infomercial knife salesman? I wasn't sure if you were pointing out the rubs or not but I saw them right away. You should set up a treestand close by. Very cool.
Is there any reason to consider getting a canteen and cup over, lets say, a JetBoil or an Optimus Terra Weekender? Or is it just personal preference? Just wondering your thoughts. My guess is a knife. Take care Ben
I ruined mine using a stove, burnt a nice blue spot on the bottom of it, sticked burnt rice to the inside that I have been trying to clean up and no matter what I use I can't get it to clean up well.
At $163 retail and $158 on their website for this canteen, I think it's extremely overpriced. I understand its titanium but do you really need titanium? I'll stick with the reasonably priced Self Reliance Outfitter, Dave Canterbury, bulletproof canteen at $59.99. I can't rationalize spending so much money on a water container like Heavy Cover.
+CAPTBIZZARRO when backpacking i always go titanium everything. when you can save pounds with an entire cookset it is well worth it. plus it will never rust, easy to clean. nothing wrong with the pathfinder version, just depends on how crazy you go cutting ounces and grams.
Heavy? Pathfinder canteen is 1.9 lbs. Heavy Cover is .69 lbs. I would rather carry the extra 1 pound instead of paying $100 more for the Heavy Cover canteen. In the scheme of things, I don't think the 1 pound difference is worth the extra money. Did you return your leaking canteen? Rusting? Really? I never heard of stainless steel rusting. My Pathfinder canteen has held up thus far, so has my Pathfinder bottle. I have not experienced any of your complaints. Nonetheless, I think $160 for any canteen is outrageously priced even if it's made of Titanium and lighter than stainless steel.
Looked like fun. You had me until you said $150, lol. I could use a top for my canteen cup cooking though, and a metal canteen for boiling water is also a plus.
The best part for me was all the clean up advice - thanks for the video!
thanks James.

After watching tons of video reviews of this, each one saying how great it was, I bought a kit earlier today.
Can't wait to get it.
+Harry Akira Eaton nice, you will enjoy it for years to come.

+Terry Mabrey anytime.
Nice video. I need to upgrade my backpacking cook set this looks like a great lightweight setup. Thanks for the review.
+H.I.S Survival i will compare my two sets, one ss and the other titanium sometime soon.
+Living Survival looking forward. Shooooooots!!!!
I've got the cup and lid. Great bit of kit!!Defiantly need to get the canteen.
+Kram Rentip nice!

Living Survival Oh, I know it has good applications-as you probably already figured out my comment was not 100% serious.

I’m glad I can buy it just cause
Nalgine oasis is good
that was great!
Does anyone know if the GI stove that goes with the military canteens will work with these titanium types.
This video got me sold...
Ill pass it on to my child(ren)
yep, me too.

+Psychonaut273 thanks for watching and the comment.
I always slide the set into a plastic Walmart bag or target bag to keep the pouch clean from soot / debris
even though i've never survivaled before, i really like watching tour videos ☺
+Deynea thanks for watching.
Nice. I need a setup but this is a little out of my budget. I might baby-step into some basic kit stuff and then if I start really heading out and doing things where weight and longevity becomes factors upgrade. Thanks for the review.
+Iratus Jackalope zebra billy pots are nice and a great price but make sure you get the improved ss clips.

+Jason McDaniel I just like that it cools down immediately and heats up fast too.

Never noticed.

same with pine, great for starting your fire but transitioning to hardwood as fuel is better I agree.
I would love that system I have seen it several times but wow its way out of my price range. Great stuff though. Thanks for sharing!
+SouthPaw Bushcraft are you in the US?
+Living Survival Yes in Wisconsin
Good video as usual. That gift could be a pocket knife
+John Wood good guess, thanks.
hy ben i wonder if you can do a complete review of the rothco canteen set
thank you
Stainless if day camping titanium shines in 2-3 day hiking
Portable USB battery pack/charger.
Do you prefer the kidney shaped canteen/cup over round bottles/cups? If so, why?
+05generic i don't have a preference.
Another reviewer did highlight a possible concern with canteens that have a fold/join in them, like this one does. Over time, it could be a good breeding ground for bacteria, maybe it's best to boil water in it occasionally.
+Steve Clark i've seen that too but never had a problem. you could boil in it from time to time if worried.
Nice! I've had the stainless set for years
+The Immortal nice, thanks.
+imsuckingwind good one ;)
Nice, definately looking at a woodstove. Just picked up a Ti Vargo 700ml BOT with handles (exclusive to Massdrop). Will see how good it is to put into my kit. What was that folding mat you put out? I want something like that too. Nice Vid.
titanium is good stuff.......ty for the video
+ben terwellen thanks b
nice piece of gear thanks for sharing
+Amra Survival thanks for watching,
Nice, i really like this canteen. Also which Emberlit Stove did you use the Stainless Steel or Titanium version?
+Ultimate Survivalist i use both.
Ben, where are you at, approximately, in your review vids. Are you on state land in Oakland CO.?
+Hollywood6394 I am all over the place. State Land, parks, private land.
Nice ...I have the same set but with the fire ant stove...
+flashdamingo i'm going to try the fire ant soon.
Good friend?? I thought he was a late night infomercial knife salesman? I wasn't sure if you were pointing out the rubs or not but I saw them right away. You should set up a treestand close by. Very cool.
+SuperUncleRyan yeah. i hunt close by but might move closer to where these are ;) yep good friend, hence the poke at him in the video.
Got somethin like this on my gotta get list.
Is there any reason to consider getting a canteen and cup over, lets say, a JetBoil or an Optimus Terra Weekender? Or is it just personal preference? Just wondering your thoughts. My guess is a knife. Take care Ben
+Brennan Jones the canteen and cup you can put directly in the fire and don't rely on gas.
+Living Survival That makes sense. I have been considering getting a canteen and cup lately. I'll definitely look more into it.
Nooooooooo I can't wait that long to watch the second episode
I can afford stainless steel but ... Dam I love titanium. & I think that gift is a new power bank.
+PREPFORIT it is nice when you want to cut the weight.
very great information
How’s the canteen doing today? Any dents?
Still holding up great. I keep it in a case so no dents
I, like you enjoy the titanium. I am starting to upgrade all my SS stuff. Have you tried using soap to control the soot on the Titanium?
+Marty Fischer (OhioPhantom) i've heard you can do that but i don't bother with it.
you never clean the soot. that's a sign of adventure. much like scars.
Does aluminium work aswell with the fire?
+Smisk1o1 yes although not bpa free.
I ruined mine using a stove, burnt a nice blue spot on the bottom of it, sticked burnt rice to the inside that I have been trying to clean up and no matter what I use I can't get it to clean up well.
Titanium can turn blue. Just keep using it. I use a scotch brite pad to scrub mine.
nice equipment
+larry torres Torres thanks.
Hey living survival when are you doing part 2 of the zombie apocalypse serious and can you do a updated mini survial kit pls
+Bennett Derrico i will do one a month.
I really like that coat, who makes it? Really good video!
I think it's the Snugpak Softie SJ3

Also can you do more bio stove reviews
+Bennett Derrico i have a whole playlist on them.
I'm getting one
+Carlos Sepulveda DO IT
Looked like fun. You had me until you said $150, lol. I could use a top for my canteen cup cooking though, and a metal canteen for boiling water is also a plus.
+James Carmean titanium is not cheap that is for sure.
re: Soot. That's why I don't cook with fire, unless in emergency.
Nice :)
+TIMSTA thanks.
+Living Survival are you still going to make the zombie survival
+DatOneGuy 56 yes, probably once a month.
Hey living survival my name is Bennett
I prefer med to hot so titanium is another plus
Titanium is worth it if you use it
It's a titanium compass
Kershaw launch
you need a pot coozie, light weight, keep the food/drink hot
+flon57 they don't work that well with titanium.
didn't know, thanks
Farrow rod
I guess it is a petzl headlamp
+oldredcoonhound good guess.
great piece of kit, not good for budget minded
+MCKwilly agreed.
