As someone who did break a limb walking solo in the hills in blizzard conditions, the ease of deploying by simply pulling the bothy over you is a major plus. I used to carry the standard plastic bivvy bag, and there is no way I could have wriggled into it with such a painful injury. I have the Lomo, and it's striking how quickly it warms up when you want a break from the weather. I'm a convert.

I have same in green color since July 2019. Still like new. Slightly greasy. I clean it using leather soap and leather cream. Very good quality !

Nice one mate! Its always "good to have a go." The more you play around with the setting, the more you learn. 👍

I bought a new cartridge, I still have a fast drip. Can anyone suggest anything else I need to do or can try to fix this.

Nice tip. As they're about a fiver for a pair, I've always replaced them but this does save on the measurement and a trip to the store. One piece of advice I'd offer is to put the plug in the bath/basin so you don't lose the grub screw or cap if you drop them.

Try wetting the blanket in cold water then go outside and feel how warm or cold you are. Anything else is useless.

Closeted old gay leather boot fetish? Nasty!

Is it worth figure of 8ing the ceramic discs on a piece of wet and dry, prior to adding the grease?

Ideal, saved me a new cartridge (for now). Had to take it out 3 or 4 times as each time I thought I'd fixed it - first the main o-ring, then the stem o-rings, then finally greasing the ceramics! How long does the grease usually last? (I'm guessing there's only so much tolerance the grease can make up for.)

This was a great experiment. I would like to see how a modern down camping blanket compares in this.

Great video, worked for me. Saved me $20 and a trip to the big green shed. Cheers!

I have worn mine most days for more than ten years. We have been on some great adventures together. One resole about 5 years ago. One of the boots is now letting in a little water and proofing them doesn't seem to be helping so I have a new pair on the way. My old ones are still serviceable so I will be wearing them to work in as they are a bit more comfortable than the defenders that I usually wear for work.

Any update on this? Looks tempting

Just bought my first secrid wallet. To complement it, I have bought a Victornox Swiss Credit card. Always been a fan of small wallets. I would have to say this seems like the best wallet I have ever owned. Normally buy leather Paul Smith mini wallets..

I like what u did there bro, this is what internet is for people testing things and sharing results perfect

hansgrohe ceramic for kitchen sinks, 94008000 will come apart easily enough, but is built differently and will not go together, I suspect without the factory floor.

Just started welding and some good advice I read was if you get popping sounds (rather than a consistent sizzle), wire speed is too fast. If the wire burns up before reaching the work piece, wire speed is too slow.

I like the tap

My secrid vallet is also 10 years old. And it looks almost brand New. I think i can use it for 30 years before it looks as worn out as yours 😂

Do you have any remote controls on the Honda?

One of the absolute best informative videos on refilling gas canisters. Specially the part about vapor pressure of different gas types.

Good review. Just subscribed! I use my emergency shelter to sit in with the wife to have a coffee and keep us out of the wind when we've walked up to the summit of various lake District mountains like Blencathra and Skiddaw. I did a little review of my shelter on my channel in case you're interested in having a look.

As a newbie to refilling gas canisters I found this video to be a very helpful approach to staying safe. Not going to attempt it until well versed in the subject.

Hi BIG SKIES and thanks for the video. As a wool guy (wool clothing maker), i love to see people checking out what wool can do. I think the key to understanding wool is to remember that wool is clothing made by Nature to enable a sheep to maintain a constant body temperature with minimal expenditure of energy. Lucky for us, our body temp is just slightly lower than sheep. So, when we wear wool, we are asking the wool to do the job for which it was created. All kinds of testing are fun, interesting, etc. But the only test that actually matters is the FIELD TEST. What does a person experience? How does someone feel? So I jumped in a river in 2017, in winter, and we posted on our channel. ruclips.net/video/HxbA7oYzAQ0/видео.html ... It seems strange to me, but since then we've gotten quite a bit of pushback, but always from people who have NOT jumped in the river. One of the critics sent me to your video. Thanks for the efforts and the interest in wool. I look forward to more of your vids! If you do jump in a river, please be sure to wear pure wool. Most of the woolens are the market now have cotton or synthetic mixed in. All the Best and Keep getting out there!!! --- Ralph

Thanks for the review. Looking at buying this set, but i saw the comment below about manufacturing moving from Taiwan to China. Does your box say where it was made anywhere on it?

7:10 A few drops of WD 40 in the creases of the can to prevent rust.

Cheers mate! I am incredulous that the high tech blaster machines need a piece of fancy card board to work....

I've got a stainless No 6 so I'm concerned to learn it's not UK legal for general purpose carrying, as a sedate 58 year old I doubt I'll ever be 'stop and searched, but I'll get myself a No 5 for peace of mind. Re the Opinel stainless blade not taking an edge sharp enough to shave with, when my No 6 is sharpened with fine Japanese whet-stones and then honed on a leather strop it'll take a very clean shave. I've also got a carbon No 9 which I agree does take an insanely sharp edge which it holds for longer, but the stainless blade is very impressive and is more forgiving if not completely dried after use. However, hair splitting (pun intended) aside, Opinel knives are superb!

Was that ceramic grease or silicone. You said ceramic in the audio, but it says you used silicone in the description. They have both.

hydrostatic head of 3000mm is pretty much useless in rain,

Daft question incoming Are all bath taps cartridge the same size?

No mention of the most-replaced O-ring: the one between the fuel pump and the fuel bottle, aka "MSR Fuel Bottle O-ring #429134" ??? How do you find out the sizes of the o-ring used (negative number, metric / imperial size)? Perhaps we can find the measurements of o-ring 429134 via same procedure?

Good review

Does any of your card got their plastic peeled off on the bottom? Cause mine does, not sure if use the switch harshly of it is just the quality of my card.

I notice that at 4:03 the disassembly jumps to 4:06 where the slim brass tube (that has the o-ring) has been removed. How much force did you use to pull this tube out? I find my tube is stuck fast, forcing me to clean it in situ. I'd like to remove it but find it difficult to grasp with pliers.

Any updates, did you find the right settings for the 20 gauge sheet metal. Bought the same welder. Just want to get the settings right, for tack welds. Thanks

When you took the jet screw out I don't see a needle in mind I can take the jet out but I don't see a needle

Thanks for the great video but I have a quandary. Can I refill a 70/30 cannister from a 60/40 cannister?

That was really great, I also found it a bit much money for a couple of o-rings. Thank you for sharing this

I use a Secrid mini Wallet for one year and absolutly love it. I already gave 4 Wallets as an gift to Friends and Family. Everybody loves it

Thanks for this! I need to rebuild my dragonfly pump as I had a masculinity undermining embarrasing fire on a family camp last weekend. In 2024 it seems that the expedition (pump) spares kit costs £47, yet a new pump with possibly worse quality plastics is £43!!!!! and half the O rings are out of stock at needlesports now. I suspect many of these fantastic stoves will get junked over the next few years for the sake of £1 worth of O rings.

Superb set of spanners. I don’t use mine every day as generally need adjustable’s- bahco or knipex - but when needed they have not let me down . Highly recommend.

Very helpfull, thanks ! :)

Great video! How is the set holding on since then?

Really helpful video, thank you

Used the bigger 8-10 person units quite a bit when I was in a MR team. One of those over the casualty and team working on them gives a really good amount of privacy, warmth and comfort for someone who is likely scared and freezing. Rest of the team just had to stand outside in rain/sleet/snow/hail waiting for the carry off, so being inside with a bit of condensation was more luxury than discomfort. I also had 2-person and 8 person shelters, which I carried in case I needed them while doing mountain top radio ops.

Dont bothy

I would add that since you have the unit apart...rinse it in a water and vinegar solution to dissolve the mineral build up. I can see 'rust' on the outside of the ceramic disc you removed and some of the mineral deposit came off on your fingers. So soak the unit in vinegar/water (1:1) and gently wipe away the debris. For the internal ceramic bits, soak and then rinse with running water or use a compressor to blow the debris out.

Inspiring!

Thanks!
