Hereford Roast Beef with Gravy Cooking
I am revisiting this video. This is the one that got my attention and got me to subscribe to your channel. Great Job!
I use mine at home and tent use. It gives just enough light 🕯️ to keep from stubbing your toes. It does charge your phone 📱 but just about 25-30%. It's good for emergency 🦺 use as a solar ☀️ charger it will take a while but better than nothing. 😊👍
Is it possible to tighten that screw on the lid? I have one of these and it's kinda annoying how it constantly swings back and forth.
I did not like this product, will not repurchase... Just tastes like a bag of preservatives...
I understand, to each there own. Have a great night.
I have to wonder if you had chopped onions on the chili dogs? Raw chopped onions give me heartburn. I eat them sparingly as a treat. I can imagine that making a great chili dog even in a biscuit, or in cornbread in that woodstove oven you recently videoed. That oven was pretty awesome.
Maybe I did have onions. Hard to say haven't had heartburn in a long time. Ya that woodstove is Nice. Looking to use it alot this fall. Have a great night!
Dick was the man. I loved the PBS show when I was a kid
@choossuck7653 Yes, he was. I have all three films and watch them about every 6 month or so. Thats why finding this book was such a treat.
@@charlesartificer2158 right on brother. Have a great week
I was walking the rail trail next to the river this spring and I had to use the john. #1. So I went off trail, there was still no leaves and I thought I didn't touch anything. 2 days later, a month of hell
@choossuck7653 Yikes, Man that is bad. Well get this stuff and wash when you come home. It helps a lot. Plus if you do have an outbreak. washing the area with it will shorten the healing time and take the itch out.
An instant Mac and cheese in a bowl would be good to make with first batch of boiled water, set aside. Make chili next and pour over Mac and cheese in it's own bowl. Or boil hot dogs in the same water before adding chili pouch. Peace
Yes sounds line a winner to me! Have a great night!
Get that chili and then they have 8 pack corn muffins for a buck and a quartuh
I didn't see the corn muffins, will look next time thanks for the heads up! Have a great night!
We've had those for a month or two now. The Hereford meatballs were way too salty. What we really want to see is food life balanced stuff. They make chili with beans. Same as MRE chili. Made by AMERIQUAL The black rice microwave packets are Baxter's.
Its weird how some locations get the stuff before others. Haven't had the meatballs yet, will look into it when I can. Would like to try the Food life balanced stuff, sounds interesting. Haven't seen the Black rice, will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for sharing. Have a great night!
Just make the coffee
Yes sir! Cream or Sugar?
Thanks Charles, such a great video, I was fascinated. Please could you tell me which oil you used on the bearings? Im in London England.
Its a high end gun oil called strike hold. But any specific oil for knives or firearms would work just fine. Hopws the weather over there M8?
@@charlesartificer2158 Hi Charles, Thanks for the oil info. The weather in London right now is weird..lol .. unpredictable.. boiling hot then a rain storm, then very sticky and humid. I'm used to this crazy weather, lived in London all my life.
Great review and thanks for showing how the flint is replaced! Cheers!
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching.
There store just needs a custom order for the hasj guy and have stock in his store
The cap on mine gets very hot, is this a defect?
Mine gets hot but not very hot. So I would wonder. How's it do long term keeping the contents hot?
"Graduations in both Metric and English"? I had no idea The Metric system was actually a language, or that English was a form of measurement. I also have this kit, and i'd agree with you on the cheapness of the bag ( although my bag looks quite a bit different than yours.), im looking for a replacement. My mods went the other way. I kept the bottom, but then drilled 4 holes about a half an inch down and put 2 pins through, that supports the cup, and because its slightly inside, it adds some stability. You just light the stove first, drop it in the bottom, pins in place, cup on top, and dinner's on its way.
I think I can Visualize what you are describing in reference to your mods. Best carrier I found for this set without spending a fortune is the GI carrier. When I was growing up Many people around here called metric commie or Japanese. This being Michigan in the 70-80's many people here hated Japanese cars. Tools then were either SAE, English or commie lol. So all these years later I still slip up when it comes to metric measurements. thanks for the stroll down memory lane, have a great night.
Why doesn't it have the small chain like the others?
I wish I could answer this. But it is just as much a mystery to me as you.
I like that it didn't come with one of those chimneys that has to be rolled. A 15 minute wait for a bake is fantastic. I think anyone with an ice fishing shack would love this. Glad you got it for under $500. A hot water tank on top would be great. Gotta have hot coffee and hot water for clean-up. This ash door seems a little wonky - looked slightly crooked but not a deal breaker for what it is. Its a very functional camping/tent stove. The window for viewing the fire is quite pleasant. Glad I'm watching this in air conditioning. It is very hot in Ohio.
Agreed on the Chimney. Thats one of the reasons I like the winnerwell over others. Watched a guy slice the hell out of his hand with a roll up one. Ice fishing shack would be great for this. It can use all the winnerwell large accessories like the Water tank. Thanks for the comment and view. PS Its hot here in Michigan as well lol.
I have a question: What tape do you prefer to use for additional waterproofing of the stiched areas?
Unfortunately the tape I used to use is no longer made. I have tried a few of the chinese made versions but they have been subpar at best. So I have moved on to using my homemade seam sealer. So far several years in it is holding up well. It is cheap to make but it is messy and takes some time to apply. I made a video on it here. ruclips.net/video/mLIfw6UJilE/видео.html I hope this helps you out. have a great night.
My dad was a paratrooper in the British army and they were issued with knife / can opener / marlin spike tool which I still have. Doesn't have the shackle key but it's similar to the above and it's where the design first originated.
NICE! Legacy tools like that are the best! I have been trolling flea markets and second hand shops here looking for an original without paying an arm and leg. Unfortunately no luck so far. have a great day.
So it is worth it?
Depends, if you can get it cheap then yes. But there are smaller headlamps out there that are of a better value if you're looking for size and weight. But if you don't mind the extra weight and size and you want a good long run time then this isn't bad but only if you can get it cheap. I wouldn't pay full price for it.
@charlesartificer2158 ok thanks man. $30 is the price here in town
Hmmm that's a bit much. What is it you are primarily going to use it for?
@@charlesartificer2158 security around our perimeter. Scanning the property , etc.
Well in that case it should work well, it has a great throw range. 18650 battery's are easy to get so having a few sets for quick change. Good luck my friend.
Mors Kochanski would be proud 😆
Ive used mine for a year, charges phone great, the wireless works good when i take it to the sand dunes and want to keep my phone in a baggie to keep the dust out of the ports.
Nice, thanks for sharing.
Aloonimum

Thanks for a nice, interesting video.
Glad you enjoyed it
I was hyped for the no char tinder ! Do you know the wilderness strong channel ?
Yes. I have an older video on the burdock no char tinder. Got all the info from them. They are great,
@charlesartificer2158 yup they're relentless and passionate about their craft !
Indeed I hope they publish a book someday on their bushcraft. I'm sure the chapter on fire tinder's alone would be worth it.
@@charlesartificer2158 They are some of the best experts on Flint and Steel. I'd buy it.
BUYER BEWARE! This tent frame's sliding mechanism is defective from the factory and broke off in my hands upon initial set up. RBM'S answer for a fix was to send me a replacement part that didn't fit. If I can save one person from the nightmare that I went through, this comment is worth it. DO NOT PURCHASE!
That sucks. I have used mine many times with no issue at all.
Carefully! A gas cylinder can easily get stuck in the boiler. Insert the balloon into the boiler upside down. Also, the places where the metal is bent are not treated at all and cling to the transport bag. At least in my copy, everything is exactly like that
Never had one get stuck yet. Thanks for the comment and views.
If all you want to do is boil water in a small pot this may not be the best. If you are going to cook real food in a real pan these are great.
Thanks for sharing. I am thinking for use with my Frying pan.
Another great review. Love the reference to the “Forgotten Ruin” book series. As Talker would say “Coffee…..it doesn’t judge you”. I hope you continue on doing these great reviews. They are very informative.
Coffee is life! and Carl G don't care. Thanks for the comment and views.
Thanks for the great video.👍👍🤝
Thanks for watching!
Your pump was halfway out. That's the reason it didn't prime
Your probably right.
@charlesartificer2158 Thanks for the review! I've got the same stove. In another video, I saw that the Coleman stove has a twist-to-lock system in a similar setup.
@@ZookLife you're right I have several Coleman stoves. And they all twist and lock. You know with China copying everything in the world I'm surprised they haven't completely copied 100% some of the Coleman classic stoves.
@charlesartificer2158 If they start adding all those details, in the end, they'll end up costing the same I guess. Makes the original brands survive that way. For countries with a weak currency, Chinese products are a godsend. Naturehike has some nice camping products which I enjoy.
True. I will look into Naturehike. Have a great day!
Jens Williamson, III (Deaf) You can compare: #1 200 Lumen Collapsible Mini Lantern under Cabela's. Cute #2 250 Lumen luminar Outdoor Lantern under Harbor Freight Good! #3 300 Lumen Lantern under NEBO Classic I own all 3. I love it. It is good for the Camping. Tent (Wall or Dome) Camper Outside by holding by tree or tripod from Coleman. Your Choice! "Happy Camping" at right campsite.....You can study at first before decision. Good Area or Bad Area? Your Advantage is to buy the batteries (lowest prices) at Harbor Freight. That is why I was so happy. You get it! Be Smart!
Thanks for the information.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this product. I think the negative is a positive. The ability to remove the handle will mean it will be easier to clean.
True, I was thinking of it accidently popping off while eating as being a negative.
That is some serious can opener😂
Indeed!
i was contemplating the leather sheath, until you cut through it lol... It looks SO good..... many subtle details currently 125 euro in the Netherlands, with the leather
It is a fantastic knife. But as I said I'm not a fan of these style sheets for this exact reason. It's just too easy to mess up that's why I prefer Kydex I think you get a better fit with Kydex and it's more secure. Another good knife to look at is any of the BPS knives. Every BPS knife I have picked up I've been extremely pleased with. So good luck with your decision brother have a great night.
@@charlesartificer2158 cheers mate
Great review, buddy!! Thanks for going all in with the details and tests!
No problem 👍
How do I get 1?
I would say call your local Jo ann store and see if they have it. Or you can use the website. Here is a link to it. www.joann.com/airtex-5in-x-24in-high-density-foam-sheet/2162287.html
@@charlesartificer2158 Thanks a lot, I have just read the reviews, not very encouraging
I have been using this as a sleeping pad in the back of my truck on multiple trips and it works fine. Here is one thing I have found when it comes to reviews. Good or bad review depends on several things. Cost, Intended use and experience. Most of the bad reviews are people saying its not high density foam according to there experience or some industry standard. second most common is people putting it in a couch over springs, didn't work well ect. The other seems to be on the cost. when I got this it was pricey. I see that price has come down. So For my use it works fine and I am ok with it. What are you planning to do with it? I just needed something to sleep on in the back of my truck.
@@charlesartificer2158 I want to build a regular mattress with it. so am not just willing to buy without physically feeling the texture. I eventually got a bamboo mattress from sleep ezzz. hard enough
Ahh ok good deal
Surprisingly I’m absolutely immune to both plants, I’ve actually tested them in the inside (softer skin) of my arms on purpose and nothing, same with bees or wasp’s stings, been even stung on the face and nothing but a red dot that disappeared in 10 minutes. I’m weird lol.
Carmen sounds like you won the genetic lottery. What I neglected to bring up during this video is that if you do develop a rash this soap will help dry it up and lesson the itching. This works well on stains for your laundry. wet the stain and rub it with the bar, wash regularly. Have a great night!
Theres a plant referred to as "Wild touch me not" here in the South that people in the mountains swear by. I have also used broad leaf plantain, commonly grows on lawns, after a good scrub with Dawn. I imagine this soap would pull the oil and grease out of just about anything considering naphtha is of course used in lighter fluid , Coleman fuel etc, and will readily strip every bit of oil and grease right off of metals😂 Only thing that does a better job decreasing steel is acetone. Ima get some of this. Thanks brother

Poison sumac is what’s called. Nasty vegetation. And one does not necessarily need to be in physical contact with it or poison oak or ivy either. If you accidentally burn some in a campfire you can catch it via the oils burning and one coming in contact via airborne. So beware of what kind of wood you put in your fire as the poison vines can get rather large as the wrap around trees and look like a piece of wood when cut, especially if used in a bonfire setting. This sounds like a great product. I’ll have to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Not a problem glad you enjoyed it. What I neglected to bring up during this video is that if you do develop a rash this soap will help dry it up and lesson the itching. have a great night.
Do these get worn out
@808jonjon Great question. In normal use no. Tungsten Carbide hardness is a 9 on the Mohs scale. Diamond is a 10. With that said it is very hard and wear resistant. But being hard it can be fragile and will chip if dropped on a hard surface. So with normal use, keeping the cover over the carbide when not in use I am willing to say it will outlast the average human being. I think your more likely to loose it or chip it from poor handling than wear it out. I own like 4 of these. I have one on my main bench I use almost daily to maintain a razor edge on whatever pocket knife I am carrying or using. I have one in my backpack I take with me to work for similar reasons. And I have a few in my 4 season fire kits. I think they are an amazing tool and if you can master it you will wonder how you ever lived without one. Thanks for the comment and views. have a great night.
It's sooo delicious 🤤
Very. Thanks for the comments and views.
so how is the condition of the stove now? any leaks or problem?
I have had no issues with it. I keep it in my truck with my other winter gear. Used it 5 or 6 times this last winter to make coffee from snow when I was out helping a buddy drop trees. It works well for me. I have not used it as much as my other stoves but as long as it is taken care of I see no reason it wont last for many years to come.

Bruh you got played. A surplus MOLLE II rucksack in ACU is a fraction of that price, and in very good condition. You can dye it a different color because UCP is a garbage color.
Agreed.
Bro your pulling steel off that like crazy, i use the flat rdge with no resistance with no issues
Well when you start out with a blade like a butter knife you got to pull a lot of Steel off to get an edge.
