I had the same problem , now I am using it as a quilt.

Did you ever find the cable entry to the welder ports mine seem to have dulled out and need replacing

TIP.. If you are a novice it is much easier to control the tip of a rod and strike an arc if you cut a few rods into 3 pieces.. Using a short rod makes it easier whilst getting the hang of things. THE WELDER - Good choice. Having seperate outlet sockets for the different ampages means that the machine has fewer moving parts. Selector knobs/switches can wear and burn out. Secondly, the 'movable shunt' system is not being used either where a large threaded shaft moves with a large adjustment knob an iron shunt in and out of the transformer varying the amount of magnetic flux and therefore the amount of current produced.. Its less efficient because the seperate connection system means the transformer is always working at maximum flux efficiency.. Also the shunt and shaft can also break and/or seize up with rust.

I bought a North Face inferno -40 bag for $1000. The first night the crappy zipper broke. Im former US army ranger so I lived for years in sleeping bags.

I picked up this bag on eBay for a great price. I actually really like it and I also like the fact that the there isn't much insulation on the back. I sleep on my back so any insulation on the back is a waste because of my compressing it. I find it a waste of weigh with insulation on the back. I would recommend this back if you are a back sleeper. I also use this in my hammock at lot.

I understand what you are saying. I have a Snowmass and a Shavano. Best bags that I’ve had size wise at 6ft 2, wide shoulders and uk size 12 feet. Don’t find the shuffling an issue if you don’t draw in the top and wear a hat instead and keep the bag the right way up. Nice review

I have this problem I’m with my Quandary, there is little to no down in the back of the bag and it’s not very warm at all. I’m considering getting some down and filling the back so I can use it.

I love to see this, y’all are doing great!!

Got to start some ware

If you read anything on their website you would’ve known why the back and front are filled differently. Your disappointment comes from your failure to research gear.

omg thank you for the video =) when u jumped when u started the arc at 7:35 i lost it i did that the very first time i struck an arc and that was about 18 years ago now?? keep it up also love the fact that you have your kid out there with you...i just picked up a beast of a stick welder thinking about putting it on youtube myself as i fix it up....but i will be showing my 10 year old daughter how to stick weld and she is sooo pumped and ready!!! good luck in all your welding adventures =) also what is your background in electricity i just took an "intro" into industrial electricity and im saca certified (if that means anything to you) so im ready to get in to the machine its self (with the help of my dad who knows a thing or two lol worked at city power plant for years)

How well would this fit in an Osprey Atmos 50L backpack? Or any camping backpack in general.

I just knew he was about to strike up and burn a box of rods with the baby watching the sparkler show

always learning well done. all in time

Can anyone vouch for the new Marquette welders since Lincoln bought them?

Do you ever have burn marks on the wood with this? I’m trying to flatten oak and it isn’t working. I’m only taking 1/16 of an inch off and I’m trying all sorts of speed settings

A few years late but I figured I'd save people the hassle of changing out cords. On something like this there's no reason to switch to a 4 wire cord, there is no need for a neutral since it's a 100% 230 volt device. If it had 120 volt accessories on it then it would make sense to switch to the 4 wire setup so you aren't sharing your neutral and ground which can pose safety concerns in some instances.

Must of been your first time babysitting aswell.

I've owned a hyke and byke sleeping bag for a little over 2 years now. First down sleeping bag I've ever owned and fell in love with the warmth. I noticed the back was clumpy from the down synthetic mix clumping so I washed it thinking you could just throw it in the washer and be done. Ended up ruining the loft and tearing most of the inner mesh so my down all in the wrong places. I would definitely buy another one just because of the width and price

I have this bag. Very nice bag for the price. Kept me warm and comfortable in 40-45 degree nights in June, in glacier National park.

I picked up a Century 230 Amp AC welder off Craigslist a short while ago. I will also be a first time welder. All I have to do is wire up and outlet off the breaker box and I'll be laying down a bead and welding some random stuff to learn.

Хороший обзор, всё по делу.

Any response from Hyke and Byke?

You need the Sidewinder bag then. I hope I don’t have the same problem. 🧐🧐🧐

Was just about to purchase one” thank God I watched this video first” no way do I want my back exposed to the cold weather! That is so dumb!! I too roll on to my side! Thank you so much for this honest review!

I love this shit I stole mineeeeeee 😁😁😁😁 had it for 2 years bitch so warmmmmmmm and soft I'm Glade I stole it from a white person brand new

I am so claustrophobic I don't think I could handle this kind of sleeping bag. Are there different options fir winter camping ot are they all so confining?

David are you reviving this channel? I'll sub if you are. It's nice to see you doing other stuff on top of the energy related content.

I'm no expert on this sleeping system. Your video just got me to look into more details of this particular brand/ model of sleeping bag. I had to find out why the bottom had a different fill than the top half. I will be buying a down sleeping bag model from Hyke and Byke after doing some more research online to see which model will work best for me Thanks for the video! I'm a bit more knowledgeable than I was before watching it. The bottom half of the sleeping bag is ClusterLoft synthetic filled. This is a hybrid sleeping bag for the weight and compressibility when packing the back in the stuff sack, also the price. Down is not as effective when compressed by the body weight, the feathers would be compressed flat against the ground pad with very little air between the feathers to insulate well. Down insulation works best when loft, to trap lots of air between the feathers. The top half of this sleeping bag is down filled where the loft will be more effective to keep you warmer. Thus the synthetic fill on the bottom half of the sleeping bag (more translucent than the top half down filled) ClusterLoft synthetic fill still works well at insulating the sleeping bag when insulation is compressed by the body weight. IMHO the sleeping bag will work as rated, when you sleep on your side.

You are mistaken, the bottom fill is Synthetic material, not down. That's why it is thinner. That bag should be fine down to 15 degrees comfort and 0 survival with an insulated pad and a base layer on your body.

Still way too tight in the feet. After sleeping in a mummy bag in the army for a year I HATE mummy bags.

I found Space Bags are a great way to make your bag both waterproof and compact

Great review David!

Not bad for your 1st time

Good job bit you always pull not push with flux

Classic how he jumped 7:35 lol

6013 rods are also excellent rods to learn. They strike really easy, and lay down really nice beads. And the slag comes off really easy

Thks for doing volt read out from test. I got a old sears craftsman with 70volts.. yours is a beast .. is it still working

Thx. Like #13

I'm sure you've already figured it out but the high ground is for the large number on each slot if you want the smaller amp on each slot you use the low ground.

this was a great presentation ,lotta thought & explanation behind thanks much

Good effort lol

Your going to want to fix the 110 plug in

Witam z Polski pomijając typ elektrod wielkie znaczenie ma kleszcze masowe proponuję to zmienić na imadełko mosiężne a będzie się lepiej spawać elektrody byle jakie co na końcówce występuje tak zwany dzwon rdzeń stalowy się wytapia a pozostaje otulina i przerwa w spawaniu i powstają dziury nie dospawania życzę szczęśliwego nowego roku 2020 pozdrawiam

young man , u did fine take a long time to learn any thing / every body at first is a greenhorn ! . I LIVE IN NORTHEAST LOUISIANA , I SOME TIME REBUILD OLD WELDER / IF U KNOW ANY ONE NEED REAL OLD ONE , , REAL I HAVE TO MANY OLD WELDER AROUND MY OLD SHOP ! . I HAVE " 1959 20 TH AC 295 AMP ARC CENTURY WELDER MACHINE " F O R - S A L E " $100 .00 AN 2 - 50 FT OF LEADS + AND - ! FOR $ 25 .00

That’s awesome. I have an old stock welder too. You have inspired me to dig it up and have a go.

Also note what kind of clothes you use while welding. Some types can burn holes into your pants or shirt.

Nice video. I just got a old 70's craftsman 230amp. hope to fire it up in day or too

That's great you have your son out with you Learning man stuff

David, thanks a lot for sharing of your experience. Keep it up and God bless you.
