@jwgbmp40 I had a look at the label, and even that's a reproduction. It's unbranded, and I can't remember where I bought it online. Sorry about that.

@Andy-walkaboutnutty no prob. I just bought a repro from some UK GI store on ebay. They description was same as pcs issue, delivered it was $115 US $$ so looking forward to it. Iam a former US Marine 1st gulf war vet. Have never like the m65 field coat (gave to my lil bro) the gortex is too much when its not raining, looking forward to trying the smock. Your vids helped me determine that.

@jwgbmp40 same for me in 1990-91. I was a tank transporter then with the british army. I hope your jacket serves you well.

@@VishnuZutaten thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂

@mickbrown4855 That's what I was thinking, mick. Including the avalanche stuff.

@syukwan-kerr8118 That's why I tried to make a bit of a joke out of the video. Thanks, I hope you enjoyed it. 🙂

@richardsveum8452 I've always thought this with reference to the sheath. There's plenty of videos saying the same. If they done a premium version, they would sell out within weeks. We, the #youtubers, would probably provide all the advertising they would need. It's a no-brainer.

@stuartbennion for an old design, it's pretty good. It does everything you need. Cooking on a yellow flame with solid food is best. Gas is OK, but it is only good for boiling water. I used it on a long-distance hike, and it was totally reliable, including in the lapland mountains. It will last a lifetime. You can't go wrong. The seals on the spirit burner might need replacing after about 4 or 5 years, but that's just pennies. Thanks, I hope you enjoyed watching.

@chrislong3938 you're right. It just goes to show. "Buy nice buy twice." At least the warning is out there. I hope you enjoy the video chris.

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty I got this email from Cammenga this morning... Hi Chris, Thank you for reaching out to Cammenga. Yes, we offer a Tritium Refresh Service for $50, including shipping the compass back to an address within the United States. Please send us a photo of the ink stamping on the inside cover, as well as a photo of the compass laying flat, from both sides. This will help us to determine if the model you have is serviceable.

@chrislong3938 thanks. That's good to know. 👍

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty I had asked because my compass is 11 years old but still works. I don't know how slowly (or quickly) it deteriorates once it's reached its half-life.

@@earlgoff8081 thanks 😊

@@A14b19 ebay. I just had a look. They are still there. Reproduction and genuine.

@mushroomtea01 This knife and the other knives I've reviewed are not specifically made for something. It's a survival utility knive. So it can do whatever you imagine it can do, as far as it's breaking point. The feathers can rely on the angle of the grind, that's why i pick on the feather making. I appreciate your input mushroomtea01, and thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed.

@johnanon3081 you won't be disappointed. They're pricey, but you get the quality with it. And it's smart looking.

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty Just received it. You're right that it's a very sharp looking shirt for something that is meant to be used outdoors. It's a great fit, but I find the shoulders just slightly tight across the back if I go to put both arms out front. I noticed if I unbutton the underarm vents it gives me a little extra room, but not much. Still perfectly wearable, but might try sizing up if I get a 2nd one. Just wondering what you do with the underarm vents. Do you usually keep them buttoned up, or do you leave them unbuttoned?

@johnanon3081 leave them unbuttoned. Then just forget about them. It makes no difference in the winter. You can still overheat, with the other layers, it's just too small a thing to worry about.

@anthonyjacobs6790 thanks Anthony for the sub, I'm glad you enjoyed 👍

@iankuc6827 thanks Ian. That's one of the biggest compliments I've had. 💯👍

@Dylcandraen yes, that piece of wood was seasoned, and I had to brutally thrash it for it to cut through. That little axe is a favourite amongst many, and it is good. However, my personal choice would be the same as you roughly. A fat spined knife for batoning, and a combat knife for feathers and protection. Chopping seasoned wood was not the plan. It just happened that way. I suppose it was meant to be. I'm glad you got some answers out of the video 💯👍

@thephilpott2194 you know your engine stuff by the sounds. I bet some bits have been picked away over the years. Who knows? Hopefully, it is part of the heritage of the area, which I think might give it some protection from trophy hunters. This is one of my older videos when I was just starting out. I hope you enjoyed. 🙂

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty Looking at that fragment of Merlin engine, looks like all the valves have been robbed out, possibly as trophies- certainly easily pocketed!

@@thephilpott2194 I would agree. Or stripped shortly after the crash to help with the war effort?

@mikel6517 we haven't really lost anything mike. There are other fuels out there. And there are serious reasons behind them not being on sale anymore. Just Google it. What I would say to anyone that still has a stash of them somewhere, just slowly use them up, get your money's worth out of them.

Yes but they can make explosives with many easily bought products and I personally hate firedragon or meths. Gas is great but bulky, I have used hexi as my main and only fuel since 1988, so it’s going to be hard to change. I also just use a metal mug US or Crusader and was due to buy some more hexi. What others do you mean ? Great channel by the way😊

@mikel6517 The fire dragon fuel blocks, methylated spirits, gas, and some stoves can run on petrol from what I can remember. You've got to pump them ones up and sometimes the seals leek out the smell of petrol. Not very good. Use your hexi blocks up, and after that, you will have to adapt to something different I'm afraid. They were smelly old things anyway. You never know. You might be glad that you changed to something different.

Esbit still available, fibre eco fire lighters and making my own wax, wood chip, cardboard. That’s the future. Days research for alternatives

@peterhoughton3770 I have to say that when I could smell them things, straight away, I had visions of boiling some water for a boil in the bag and a cuppa. Aarrr sweet memories

I don't use hexi tablets anymore. They were in the garage for nearly 10 years probably and it was only 1 1/2 packets anyway. I would have chucked them eventually. I hope you noticed that the video wasn't put across in a serious way. It was just a bit of fun putting it all together, but also to state a lawful fact as well, except the bit about £100 grand. There are other fuels out there for cooking, so nobody has lost anything except terrorists. Their explosive material has reduced slightly, hopefully. Also, there are still a lot of courageous people in the UK. You just don't get to see them on social media.

⁠I do like the alcohol based heat tabs made in Wales. Firedragon or something. They’re easier to light. They don’t contain as much energy as the hexamine though. It’s a never ending cycle trying to take things away from people that can be used for “evil”. People will always find a way to accomplish their goals. Innocent people just end up with less and less freedom. I love your channel. I’m sorry if I caused any offense.

@Maryland_Kulak no offence taken. The UK is in trouble, but I truly believe that we will deal with it and get things sorted again like others have done in the past. The goalposts of inconveniences just change slightly with technology changes. It doesn't make anything easier, just different, and the younger ones will do it their way that they've been born into. They and we have too. That's the natural order. We all need each other, rich and poor. The Western world can not be allowed to sink. And I believe it won't.

How about you enlighten all of us. What happens next?

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty How about I just unsubscribe instead? Oh! That's what happens next

@gardius8151 fuk off and don't come back. Unlike your first comment about everyone being independent on tyranny, I've seen it before, and I never got used to it or needed it. Therefore, I don't need a tyrannical fool that would have a wobble with a honest question. Tut tut.

@@mottotravel thanks 😊

@A14b19 I'm sorry to hear that the covid struck you down so badly. Hopefully, if you can drive, you could still get near the mountains and with some high ground, over the top, and have a short wander. I've waterproof the denison, so there should be another video, but when I don't know, being it is summer at the moment. Thanks for the compliment and take care

Thanks . That’s an idea . Watching mentally put me there ❤

@@WyeExplorer thanks Mark. I have to admit that I had to go back and practice them before making the video. Knots are so easily forgotten. 😵‍💫🙂

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty A pleasure Andy. Hey, I forget these things too-you made it look so natural.

@WyeExplorer yer, the taut-line hitch is a good one to know. It can be used with a guy line as well. So, instead of it wrapped around a tree, it would be wrapped around a tent peg. I've never used a stick as a basha pole. I think it would be easy to work out. The grommets are big enough to have a whittled stick poking through without breaking, and I don't fancy cutting off a couple of hazel branches on video on some authorities' land and encouraging others to do the same. We never cut live branches in breakaway. Anything that was taken from the land was either dead or it would grow back. I'm really glad that you practised it with my video mark. To me, that's the number one reason why I make the videos. To say and show what I know so others can get out there with some confidence and know how. 💯🤟🙂

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty Yeah, I imagine it's fairly versatile Andy. Re-the stake I wouldn't take it from a live tree either. You make good videos bro. Take care.

The fjallraven shirt on the left is true to UK size. The other, I'm not sure. I can't remember buying it, and it hasn't got a label in it due to it being reversible. Hope this helps 👍

Thanks 💯👍

I googled cs survivalist, and the closest I got was cold steel drop forged survivalist. I'm not sure if that's what you've got. I have the srk cold steel and going by that, I would say no to your question. Double the price doesn't mean Double the quality. The esee 6 is good, and the sheath is OK, but it has no combat ability, clipped point. The handle isn't ergonomic on the sides. It's rectangular when looking down on it, and it affected my crutch of my hand between the thumb and finger, which took some of my strength away with a small pain. That's the real reason I made a video on wrapping paracord on a knife handle and chose the esee 6 to make it. I hope this answers your question. There's 100s of knives out there, and it can be a nightmare finding the right one.

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty : I meant the Drop forged Indeed. Thank you very much, I appreciate it a LOT 👍

Thanks for that. 👍

I'm sorry to hear that you were homeless. It's heavily laden with cotton, which is not ideal. But it is of It's time.I hope you enjoyed the video 💯

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty I prefer the cotton version which i used to wear but really what kept me dry was the USGI woodland camo poncho i still own two of these from 2011 and i was literally out all day in these in bad weather and bone dry, i could literally sit there all day on top of a mountain and not care they double as shelter that's why i had two and they also pop together, just use silicone spray on them to keep them in good condition. As you can imagine you see preppers online and personally i don't think much of these people harping on about survival because unless you have actually been homeless with no one to turn to they don't have the experience to give such advice. Reason is a prepper can do some camping and go home afterwards a homeless person does this 24/7 and it really is about survival. Forgot to mention i am from and in the UK and not the USA.

That is unfortunate. This particular one was dirt cheep. £36. I think. If yours cost a lot more, then maybe it's a better type. Anyway, good luck with what you got brian.

Thanks 👍 I suppose I've done a bit of dirt time. You just learn stuff on the way. Though I did have to re-learn the knots.

I use it neat. I now use the ordinary fabsil. It's the same thing but doesn't smell so much as the fabsil gold. A 5 litre can covers 10 jackets. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that 👍

Very good Raymond 👍

Thanks. 👍

OK. Thanks for that Roger 👍

Yes, they are a good choice 💯👍

You're welcome 😊

Thanks. They are excellent knives 💯👍

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed 💯👍

Nice one. They are a good jacket 👍 I'm glad you enjoyed 😊💯

Yes, I agree 👍

I like axes as well. I enjoy making videos on outdoor stuff I like.
