I have 2 of this tent, it's not a tent for 120 days camping during the year, it's a occasion tent for some weekends and that's it. after 2 years of camping this tent start give many problems, and the answer from MSR is : You have this tent 2 years now you need purchase another one. 😂, it's meaning MSR make a tent durable for 240 nights, after that is problems and more problems. For me is the end, I use hilleberg now and 0 problems.

Excellent punchy review Kevin. Looks like a quality piece of gear. I hope your work schedule is a bit less hectic and you get lots of opportunities to sit in it this summer.

Great review, Kev! Thanks much and hope to catch more of you sawing and axing soon.

Beautiful axe. Beautiful short. Is that an oak handle I saw?

You get more leverage with a curved handle. The angle of your hand is always higher than the head. Meaning the head is lower than your hands so the head is always more forward. Like they say punch past the the object. So you hit your target before the end of the strike. This is what happens with these handles.

What’s your wedge banger there? Custom painted handle? Boys axe? Hard to yell

Not enough gullet? What do you mean..

How long is the handle on your tassie?

Great video just the information I was looking for. I’m making a rescue axe right now and I have a straight handle and wasn’t sure if I should put some curve in it. Also it’s a full tang axe with a 13 and 5/8 inch handle from the top of the head to the end of the handle. I got some great information from your video thanks.

I've got a couple of Russian military axes that ring like that

Chainsaw fast get it done1800 or 1900 or 2000???? Work hard die young leave her all the things you made for her

Talking about engineering and adjustable barrel. What comes to mind for me is how drill Chuck operates

I told wcs the exact same. They need do make 3 Point felling dogs in a shorter version. Greetings

Looks like you are getting the hang of it Kevin! I remember always getting stuck quite well even 40 years later.

So true 😂

MiG is superior. Much easier. Just as good.

if you arent able to strike the ark like a match you need to turn your amps up I had the same issue when I first started.

looking great for a beginner, but just like someone else said those fumes are killer. I recommend getting a respirator with some 3M 2097 filters. Keep up the good work👍

Hey bro just a little friendly advice from a TIG welder, try to keep your head out of the fumes. If you don’t have a fume extractor you can temporarily rig a shop vac to suck the fumes away. When people start welding seeing the puddle can be difficult so maybe try a magnifying lens. I’m not sure about your hood but on the inside cheek they sometimes have the part numbers. Keep up the good work, the only way to get better is by burning rods. 👍

been a few years since the last time i did the stick welding, i found i much liked gas welding more (it is cooler and more fun) glad i took that class, and glad i never took it again.

You do have to strike it like a match and lift up to ark. Your just touching a match to the striker. This is user arc error

Don't touch the metal with the stick just swipe it and thats it, quick tip I heard from a old timer if you welding with 6011 get some WD40 and spray the 6011 stick and then use it. It helps alot

fINALLY SOME TRUTH

Hell ya brother everybody starts somewhere

I've only hung a few axes up until now but imo you want the orientation sideways and not lengthwise because I could see it slipping out more easily if it is lengthwise. Sure the wedge is mor likely to split when it is sideways but like you said you can still drive it in that way, good luck doing that with two wedges driving each other up. Regarding the expanding wedge.. doesn't Oxenkopf have a screw on top of some their eyes? Maybe they've already done it, never unscrewed mine though.

What fuel and oil ratio you running in your rip saw?

That geometry is just so perfect imo. I bet it splits pretty decent too.

TMI = Guess 8 pounds per gallon times 55 about 440 pounds your 4 wheeler seems to handle well. :)

Very good setup!

8.3 lbs per gallon

straight handles sure are easier to make.

Billhooks have a very long history in they UK. Traditionally they are associated with coppicing and hedge laying. Different patterns evolved in different regions. The main advantage I see of the billhook over the machete and "Sandvik" is that it works well in a confined space where there's limited room to swing. The curved end enables you to hack across the base of woody growth without it catching in the earth, or reach into a hedge to cut at brambles and such like with just a flick of the wrist and a tug.

This wartime public informattion film is the best example I've found online of using a billhook in its "natural environment" by someone who really knew what they were doing. ruclips.net/video/WoprVhpOKIk/видео.html I see that Sandvik and shudder; it's an ugly inelegant contraption that looks especially suited to getting caught and tangled in a thorny hedge!

The one used in this video has the elegant simplicity of a Devon billhook, whereas the one I own is a Stafford pattern, similar to the Devon but with a flat blade of 4" or so along the back of the blade, towards the top. The Yorkshire pattern is longer and broader, shaped a bit like a paddle with the blade extending the full length on both sides and ending with a hooked tip on one edge. The Yorkshire billhook lends itself well to a longer handle for two handed use. Long handled billhooks were often the weapon of choice of the mediaeval footsoldier and I've seen a painting of enslaved plantation workers cutting sugar cane using billhooks similar to my own Stafford billhook.

Why did you put the log on the driveway to protect the driveway?

thanks for the great vid

On thier website the head weight is listed as 1.82lbs

Heck yeah awesome kevin !!! I was really looking forward to this video, I’m happy for you man !! She sounds and looks like a real ripper 🤘!! Sucks that it took so long to get it in your hands, hope it was worth the wait, seems like it is to me !! Looking forward to more 🤙

Excellent content...I appreciate the time & depth of info you put forward! Thanx ✊❤🪓

Nice work Kevin, nice to see you learning to weld. I’ve been welding for a while man I love it. If you need any help or have any questions hit me up. Flux core can definitely be a little tricky to dial in. Great job man every time you get the welder out you’ll get a little better, like anything else it’s all about the time put in. 🤙

Scy-monDs, not “simmons”. Simmons is separate company entirely

Great review

👋🏼

For God's sake clean the area before welding. Rust and paint. You don't know what you are doing. Thumbs down, don't recommend.

Axes are made for different purposes....like a carpenter, a good logger has many tools

I appreciate your honest review thanks Regards Dave (trogg)

Good video, but no saw for me
