I used to do Civil War reenactments. I loved my Remington pistol. What I loved most about it was, in mid battle, watching the face of someone trying to reload a fixed cylinder pistol as I reached behind me and easily swapped cylinders.
Hey Sean, I had found a G shock watch in an airport sink in 83. I wore it all over the world, woke me up in the jungle to get back to base for muster. kept me on time, out of trouble for 5 yrs. I left it in an airport washroom!
Yep, I got one of those Casio G-Shock squares. I custom made mine out of two of their watches, a carbon fiber titanium one and a black one with the metal clasping Casio bracelet, keeping the bracelet and the titanium base, positive face (black text on white background), and black bezel. It uses one of their Tough Solar modules with the 6 band atomic clock radio transmission syncing. Awesome freaking service watch. The people who know, know. Cheers.
"Gear adrift is a gift"! That's how I got my Camillus, in the Air Force back in the 80's, as you got your watch. Simple, and keeps a pretty good edge. I need to carry mine more, I do carry the Swiss Army from your recommendation a few years back, love the larger blade, although it gets dirty looks going through security.
The Swiss Army Knife (SAK) has been a constant companion on my belt for the past 70 years. I have had several models over the years and presently use the Victorinox Ranger 79. My other SAK's are on other belts on other pants. Boots are the Canadian Kodiak 8" top McKinney waterproof boot. Have had these since the '80's. They are starting to show their age, as am I at 85, but still a great boot. Can't comment on the firearm, as it would be next to impossible to get a pistol firearm licence here in Canada. My watch is a Casio Divers watch, they normally last me about 15 years. Great video as always. Thank you.
I could have used the ‘58 Remington at Boy Scout age when roaming the woods, especially in the dark. Sure wish I’d had one, it would have provided some real predator insurance. One mountain lion following me left paw prints in creek mud as big as my spread hand.
Love the Camille's knife. Several of my uncles and cousins had them, service bring backs from the 1960s and early 1970s. I've seen several reproductions but the quality is lacking, and an original is too expensive for everyday use. I can also remember when the G-Shock watch was all the rage, and if you weren't rocking a G-shock with your 5.11 pants and Oakely shades you couldn't sit with us. I think all the cool kids, as in tacticool, are wearing some type of smart watch now, but the G-shock and Ironman are still great watches that get the job done. Thanks for keeping it real and a great video as always.
Hey Shawn, I got motivated and purchased my Victorinox RangerGrip 78 and I love it! I can't stop playing with it 😁(she said). I also added to my collection a Leatherman Signal multi-tool and a Swiss Champ. Theses are great additions to my 10 essentials. Thanks for sharing your list of favorites. Stay motivated brother!
Always enjoy your content, straight and honest,as well as straight to the point. People that don’t watch are the ones that will suffer. Anchors Away & Semper Fi
I've had nearly 50 years of bushcraft experience both as a possum trapper and government deer culler. I watch your videos with interest and have picked up some great tips Shawn. I'm retiring in a year or so and intend camping out permanently until my health dictates otherwise. Onward.
The G-Shock is definitely an indestructible workhorse (within limits. of course). Also, the one I used to wear and that never died, the Timex Iron Man was just as good. Well, at least the ones they made back in the late 80's - early 90's. Thanks for another great video. Semper Fi!
I worked for a rural physician, for a while. I since learned to keep narcan to methheads and many diabetic patients. I regularly keep glucose tablets and gels in my medical bag. Not just bandaids, gauze and advanced life support stuff and I know how and have the hands on experience..
You have definitely put some work in on some of your overnighters I enjoy watching them . But you have to do what you have to do to keep food on the table . I am sure tips and tricks and reviews are easier on the body . Keep on keeping on
My G-Shock has been on all four deployments and every exercise I've been to over 24 years. That watch is almost indestructible. Plus, you can put a Suunto button compass on the watch band. Keep up the good work. Semper Fi!
Former enlisted Marine (73 to 82). The standard issue boots were ok, but not great. Years later )11 to 19) I worked as a contractor in Afghanistan. I tried several different brands of boots & I ended up staying with Belleville DES 390s. Best boots ever made.
Fantastic choice as a woods sidearm, imo. .45 Colt is no slouch and will definitely fill all your needs while camping or just outdoors, generally. I also carry the same Victorinox. It's gone up in price quite a bit, so have relegated it to my survival bag, but I loved using that thing, for all kinds of tasks
I'm a brit and my dad owns both the navy colt and the army colt!! God bless America!! This is the only way in Britain 2 shoot a pistol/revolver black powder!!keep up the great videos, all the best Deano
Just acquired 2 pairs of the hot weather boots - no Gore-Tex and vents! Yeah - go on a 20 mile ruck wearing 'steel toed' boots. I have a few of the Camillus knives packed into 1980s military pilot 'survival kits' - the two pack type that they supposedly carried in their flight suits. Half was a fishing kit and half was a survival kit The 1858 New Army Model black powder revolver rocks! See Eastwood's 'Pale Rider' to see the cylinder swapping in action - makes a black powder handgun formidable!
Ah, the G-Shock. I bought one back in 83 when I first got to Okinawa, and in 2007 (!!!!), after many bands and batteries, I GAVE it, still working perfectly to a worker of mine in Iraq! He liked it (he is Iraqi and was a REALLY good worker - I was doing construction management for DoD), so I gifted it to him. I went to the PX at VBC and bought a Timex Ironman Triathlon for about $35, and it just wasn't the same. A few years ago I went back to the G-Shock. I wore several pairs of the original canvas jungle boots right off my feet! With a change of insole, as you mentioned, they were quite comfortable, even though the sole was REALLY hard. I LOVE my demo knife!!! I actually still have my original one from my active duty days (83-89)! First aid... one of my issues with the butterfly bandages (I have admittedly only tried 4 or 5 different ones) is that they don't really stick when the area around the wound is wet (whether blood or water from washing it). I have cut myself on a few occasions in the last few years that probably should have had stitches, but found that the Bandaid brand cloth knuckle bandages work really well. You "fasten" one side, pull the wound closed, and "fasten" the other side. Yes, I have small scars from the injuries, but it was a field-expedient solution to an immediate problem that I found works. I hope yours stick to the wound area. The 2A stuff I will leave to peoples' imagination and preference.
I have a lot of swiss army knives by Victorinox. But the one I always have on me, is my old Dutch army knive, made by Victorinox. I recieved it when I had to go in the Dutch army in 1986 and I still carry it. Nothing fancy, just a good little knife.
Damn it, now I'm going to have to have one of those revolvers, how will I explain that to the wife? The 45 Colt works well and I fire some rather warm ones out of my 454 Casul revolver. I had a G-shock like the one you showed, it didn't last only ten years on my wrist which was amazing to say the least. I now have a Casio w s220 solar powered that I bought for $35.00 at Walmart on sale about 17 years ago and it is still alive because of my advancing age and the fact that I finally learned to take it off before working on anything mechanical. I think I have about thirty years on you. Love your down to earth and factual videos, good info always. Keep them coming.
For those wound closures, just get the real 3M Steri-Strips. In the short term they're as good as stitches, and there's no rachet gadget to fail on you. If you mess one up, you just peel another one off the sheet, 10 sheets to a pack.
G-shock for 35 years here doing homesteading (chain saw, sledge hammers, every kind of job on farm). Never a problem. I have a stainless band I got after the original band died. So 30 years with same stainless band. It says 100Meters waterproof (really?). Do not know but it went 100ft under sea water when I was scuba diving many times and no problems.
Thanks for another great video. It's sad how stupid RUclips has gotten over certain things. I've seen lots of good channels ruined and disappear because someone's feelings got hurt or they know nothing about the subject matter and yet want to tell everyone how it should be shown or hidden.
Thanks, Corporal!!! OutFNstanding!!! Really dig the “classics”! Reminds me of a fella named Josey Wales. And thanks for Survival Mastery! Enjoying all the videos and meeting of the teachers! Semper Fi, Marine
When my unit got fixed to deploy to the sandbox and we got the bellevilles, OMG. Like wearing sneakers compared to the jungle boots. And yeah, being able to run in them without killing your legs. And the insoles you could swap out. Or even boil, if you wanted to.
What if games ... and the watch. You don't need hands to know where the hands on the watch face would be. A digital watch works fine to tell someone the time so that they can think of it in the form of analog hands. No problem! I wear a Casio PAW-1300, at least 17 years old now... original battery (solar recharge).
Great video, I will have to try those boots, but the red wings I have I am on my second air in 20 years, the first pair I stood in knee deep red clay mud for 3 days all day and did not clean them and they eventually dry wrought, but still got 13 years out of them wearing them almost daily before the leather split, soles were still good, I was impressed. Ranger knife is an awesome knife.
I must say I appreciate your 40 to 50 hours in the forge thank you you just might need an overnighter to relax LOL God bless you and yours and God bless the USA
I don't camp or bushcraft but my playground and home is a 30 acre maple farm. I used to carry a big ( and bulky) fixed blade knife. It's been sitting in my shop for many years simply because I now carry a Victorinox Forester knife. Small, light, resistant and so many uses....but the saw..man ..that saw is awesome !! I don't ever leave the house without it. Take care Corporal !!
I have the same problem with my Casio mine is not digital but needs batteries I always go with the energizers I notice the cheap batteries fail in a month or two. Those zip-stitches are great with an open wound you want to Close and Cover within 24 hours. I carry a Victorinox "Huntsman" I like the scissors I have thought of trying those fire steel, inserts but I always have a Magnesium Bar or a rod with me Matches, Lighter. Another great Video.
Corporal AF, Shawn. Definitely a fan of my Ranger Grip. When I was a kid I had one of the stainless knives stamped USMC that was gifted to me by a family friend, who carried it when he served. Unfortunately as a teen I dropped it in the woods and never found it. 😞
I have had two G shocks in 30 years, just had the battery changed in my current watch. I work as a psych nurse and this watch has seen a lot of action. I wear mine 24/7, like you I will have it on when I dirt nap.
Its awesome to see someone other than myself carrying a pistol from a bygone era, i had always wondered when viewing your channel, if you go unarmed when camping/overnighting, and i presumed that you carried a Beretta 92 or a 1911 (given your military background/ a la Paul Harrell) and though firearms comprise only a very small portion of your content, I was pleasantly surprised to see that you tote around a cap-and-ball sixgun on your outings, and as my EDC i have a Signature Series Colt 1860 Army that i carry on all of my outings here in NC. Open carry is permitted and i keep it charged with 777 and roundball for self defense, alas i have no conversion cylinder at the moment, but will likely purchase one in the future. Excellent video as per usual and take care.
If you ever need a replacement for that watch or retire it look at the Casio 5610. the same watch but has solar charging and multiple band 8 , auto daylight savings time and you can have the light automatic turn on by tilting your wrist. Well worth the 100 price tag
The Ranger knives from Victorinox were initially Wenger knives. Victorinox took over Wenger in 2005 and used the name for knives till 2013. They changed the design only slightly after rebranding the Wenger branded knives into Victorinox branded knives. Mostly they switched from the Wenger designed can opener to the Victorinox can opener.
The short-lived Buck swiss army knives were Wenger made. Top drawer quality and pretty rare these days. I wish I'd bought a couple of dozen more than what I did when I bought what I have. $20.00 or less IIRC. Wenger also made some top drawer kitchen cutlery as well. I only have a couple of those unfortunately
RUclips would love to just have you making content and living in the woods for free. "Today we're sleeping in the woods again because RUclips is making sure that I have to live here instead of making my channel livable"
That conversion is badass. I found out in Commiefornia it's legal to open carry black powder even for felons. But it's California I'm not trying it lol
I backpack and hike all over Arizona and since I have large and wide feet finding suitable footwear was difficult let alone comfy. One of coworkers at the fire department was a marine and advised me of the Belleville Boots. Purchased a pair of the 590's and it made being out beyond the three wire (public lands in Arizona are usually fenced with three strands of barbed wire) more enjoyable.
For a boot, I swear to god some of the best are Timberland Pro boots. They are waterproof, they are thick rubber soles with hexogonal grip on the bottom, and they are NOT steel toed, they are composite toed. I can walk for miles and miles in them without fatigue. 😊
@@DanEmmons Second! Tim pros are awesome. I'm a gardener and my feet are wet all day but my socks are bone dry! I've had problems with the heel a couple times but straight out of the box they are more comfortable than a any sneaker I've ever had.
Most SAKs do not have a locking blade. The knife you showed does- the big red one that is (also comes in black and olive drab). It is a huge plus from a safety point of view. The last thing you want is for a blade to collaspe on you and get injured out in the wild. Also, the saw on that thing is large and in charge. The knife gets an A+ rating in my book.
First aid: I been putting together my own first aid kits for years. Bear /Refuge Medical have outstanding gear/kit. Its not cheap but in my opinion its top tier gear. I use is. Another great vid. Thank you Sir.
Casio G Force, bought one because I could set a timer and it was water proof. It survived 25 years on a drilling rig. 3 or 4 new bands. Steal toes in cold weather, the toes get cold and heck to warm up, only good for job site. Carbon fiber is better if you don't have to have the steal toe. A suture kit, have you ever been stitched up without novacaine, you will discover your no Rambo. I've been stitched before the novacaine kicked in.
If you want a back up fire starter on your SAK try the Fire Ant. Comes with tinder. Not brilliant, but doable. Wrap a little bit of gorilla tape around it (protection and flame extender). Victorinox claim you can get up to three fires (dependent on circumstances) out of one bit of the supplied tinder. Experimentally (as in yes I have tested that) that's a reasonable estimation. Not my first option, but as a last ditch option, yes it has it's place.
Many years back, at 15 yo , I built a 1858 black powder revolver for my grandfather. A Christmas present. When he passed, my family said it was his favorite present he ever had. My family gave it back to me as a keepsake. I have a whole set to forge my own bullets. I learned the way to make black powder. Bought a black powder rifle. If it ever comes down to it I can get by with.
Awesome video Shawn and I don’t care what RUclips says about you? Your an amazing instructor hands down. And definitely the master of the bow drill skills and I learned from the best and that was you in first hand experience with hands on instruction ❤
That Colt Army is what was used by Clint Eastwood in Pale Rider. I have a 1851 Colt Navy in 44 cal not conversion but custom trigger spring polished action, and Slix Shot nipples. It is one of my fav guns. 😇
100% agree on the steel toe boots. If you're doing something that requires steel toe shoes, you should probably also be wearing a helmet. I'm much more concerned about a heavy object hitting me in the head than the toe.
I grew up near Camillus NY, former home of that knife manufacturer. It is pronounced Ka - MILL - Us (not to nitpick). Very cool that you have one of those!!
Great show Corporal! I have that same watch lol, I got it at the Fort Benning PX way back in the late 80s or early 90s, can't remember exactly, and other that a new battery every five years or so it's still ticking! Also I love that classic Pistola, that's Real Beauty Brother! Keep up the great Vids, always very entertaining and informative!

Can't never, ever go wrong with Victorinox, Morakniv and Casio. Excellent, top-notch.

That is an antique firearm that is exempt from firearm laws. Leave him alone RUclips!

RUclips don't care. Facebook is the same. I've had my account restricted on FB for just posting a photo of my remington
Awesome gun

Casio made a hell of a watch back in the day.

unfortunately, I suffer and now cant do what I enjoy doing and am forced to find other things

Good afternoon from here in the UK
Love your videos
I worked for a rural physician, for a while. I since learned to keep narcan to methheads and many diabetic patients. I regularly keep glucose tablets and gels in my medical bag. Not just bandaids, gauze and advanced life support stuff and I know how and have the hands on experience..
T Y, good thinking!
You have definitely put some work in on some of your overnighters I enjoy watching them . But you have to do what you have to do to keep food on the table . I am sure tips and tricks and reviews are easier on the body . Keep on keeping on
not about the body, if content isnt watched then it is wasted time
My G-Shock has been on all four deployments and every exercise I've been to over 24 years. That watch is almost indestructible. Plus, you can put a Suunto button compass on the watch band. Keep up the good work. Semper Fi!

G-shock for 35 years here doing homesteading (chain saw, sledge hammers, every kind of job on farm). Never a problem. I have a stainless band I got after the original band died. So 30 years with same stainless band. It says 100Meters waterproof (really?). Do not know but it went 100ft under sea water when I was scuba diving many times and no problems.

Really dig the “classics”! Reminds me of a fella named Josey Wales.
And thanks for Survival Mastery! Enjoying all the videos and meeting of the teachers!
Semper Fi, Marine
The Remington is a nifty surprise. Always liked the lines of it more than the Colt.
Shawn, You are doing a Outstanding Job AF .
Looking forward to the first aid video
it will be featured in a video, there will not be a first aid video
When my unit got fixed to deploy to the sandbox and we got the bellevilles, OMG. Like wearing sneakers compared to the jungle boots. And yeah, being able to run in them without killing your legs. And the insoles you could swap out. Or even boil, if you wanted to.

I wear a Casio PAW-1300, at least 17 years old now... original battery (solar recharge).
I have never once needed nor do I think I will ever, need to use my watch as a compass. Fantasy indeed.
The watch story is cool as hell. Wow 👌
Great video, I will have to try those boots, but the red wings I have I am on my second air in 20 years, the first pair I stood in knee deep red clay mud for 3 days all day and did not clean them and they eventually dry wrought, but still got 13 years out of them wearing them almost daily before the leather split, soles were still good, I was impressed. Ranger knife is an awesome knife.
I must say I appreciate your 40 to 50 hours in the forge thank you you just might need an overnighter to relax LOL
God bless you and yours and God bless the USA
Thanks for showing us your stuff and giving your insight as always 👍
Easy find the video and thankful for the show and tell and the updates.
Cheers
I don't camp or bushcraft but my playground and home is a 30 acre maple farm. I used to carry a big ( and bulky) fixed blade knife. It's been sitting in my shop for many years simply because I now carry a Victorinox Forester knife. Small, light, resistant and so many uses....but the saw..man ..that saw is awesome !! I don't ever leave the house without it. Take care Corporal !!
Sometimes, when you have something that has worked for you, there is just no reason to change. Keep up the good videos
I watch every week, Corporal. Great video!
I have the same problem with my Casio mine is not digital but needs batteries I always go with the energizers I notice the cheap batteries fail in a month or two. Those zip-stitches are great with an open wound you want to Close and Cover within 24 hours. I carry a Victorinox "Huntsman" I like the scissors I have thought of trying those fire steel, inserts but I always have a Magnesium Bar or a rod with me Matches, Lighter. Another great Video.
Thank you Shawn for keeping the information flowing!
Thanks for the information on the boots and the knife. I spent a tour in Vietnam in my jungle boots rotted two times.
Good morning and happy Sunday boys and girls!
Coffee and corporals corner on a Sunday!
Corporal AF, Shawn. Definitely a fan of my Ranger Grip. When I was a kid I had one of the stainless knives stamped USMC that was gifted to me by a family friend, who carried it when he served. Unfortunately as a teen I dropped it in the woods and never found it. 😞
This video popped right up in my feed. 👍
Hope they leave your video on. It's pleasant and valuable work. It amazes me the garbage they leave on and what they slam.
I have had two G shocks in 30 years, just had the battery changed in my current watch. I work as a psych nurse and this watch has seen a lot of action. I wear mine 24/7, like you I will have it on when I dirt nap.
Its awesome to see someone other than myself carrying a pistol from a bygone era, i had always wondered when viewing your channel, if you go unarmed when camping/overnighting, and i presumed that you carried a Beretta 92 or a 1911 (given your military background/ a la Paul Harrell) and though firearms comprise only a very small portion of your content, I was pleasantly surprised to see that you tote around a cap-and-ball sixgun on your outings, and as my EDC i have a Signature Series Colt 1860 Army that i carry on all of my outings here in NC. Open carry is permitted and i keep it charged with 777 and roundball for self defense, alas i have no conversion cylinder at the moment, but will likely purchase one in the future. Excellent video as per usual and take care.
If you ever need a replacement for that watch or retire it look at the Casio 5610. the same watch but has solar charging and multiple band 8 , auto daylight savings time and you can have the light automatic turn on by tilting your wrist. Well worth the 100 price tag
Thanks for you're hard work and dedication! I appreciate these tips.
The Ranger knives from Victorinox were initially Wenger knives. Victorinox took over Wenger in 2005 and used the name for knives till 2013. They changed the design only slightly after rebranding the Wenger branded knives into Victorinox branded knives. Mostly they switched from the Wenger designed can opener to the Victorinox can opener.
The short-lived Buck swiss
army knives were Wenger
made. Top drawer quality and
pretty rare these days.
I wish I'd bought a couple of
dozen more than what I did
when I bought what I have.
$20.00 or less IIRC.
Wenger also made some top
drawer kitchen cutlery as well.
I only have a couple of those
unfortunately
RUclips would love to just have you making content and living in the woods for free.
"Today we're sleeping in the woods again because RUclips is making sure that I have to live here instead of making my channel livable"
That conversion is badass. I found out in Commiefornia it's legal to open carry black powder even for felons. But it's California I'm not trying it lol
Quite true. Black powder carry is an option open to all. Actually they are quite fun to shoot. Hardly any recoil and can take down large game.
@@ThomasSpearman-g3y I have one. When I took it to the outdoor range everyone came up to me asking about it.
Another great one
I backpack and hike all over Arizona and since I have large and wide feet finding suitable footwear was difficult let alone comfy. One of coworkers at the fire department was a marine and advised me of the Belleville Boots. Purchased a pair of the 590's and it made being out beyond the three wire (public lands in Arizona are usually fenced with three strands of barbed wire) more enjoyable.
Always Outstanding AF.
For a boot, I swear to god some of the best are Timberland Pro boots. They are waterproof, they are thick rubber soles with hexogonal grip on the bottom, and they are NOT steel toed, they are composite toed. I can walk for miles and miles in them without fatigue. 😊
@@DanEmmons Second! Tim pros are awesome. I'm a gardener and my feet are wet all day but my socks are bone dry! I've had problems with the heel a couple times but straight out of the box they are more comfortable than a any sneaker I've ever had.
@@05301mark the hexagons make me feel like I’m glued to the ground even when it’s slippery out in snowy conditions here in Wisconsin
@@DanEmmons I'm going to get their sneakers the next time I need new regular shoes.
Most SAKs do not have a locking blade. The knife you showed does- the big red one that is (also comes in black and olive drab). It is a huge plus from a safety point of view. The last thing you want is for a blade to collaspe on you and get injured out in the wild. Also, the saw on that thing is large and in charge. The knife gets an A+ rating in my book.
First aid: I been putting together my own first aid kits for years. Bear /Refuge Medical have outstanding gear/kit. Its not cheap but in my opinion its top tier gear. I use is. Another great vid. Thank you Sir.
Casio G Force, bought one because I could set a timer and it was water proof. It survived 25 years on a drilling rig. 3 or 4 new bands. Steal toes in cold weather, the toes get cold and heck to warm up, only good for job site. Carbon fiber is better if you don't have to have the steal toe. A suture kit, have you ever been stitched up without novacaine, you will discover your no Rambo. I've been stitched before the novacaine kicked in.
hair ties are a handy thing to have a few of in your repair kit!
If you want a back up fire starter on your SAK try the Fire Ant. Comes with tinder.
Not brilliant, but doable. Wrap a little bit of gorilla tape around it (protection and flame extender).
Victorinox claim you can get up to three fires (dependent on circumstances) out of one bit of the supplied tinder.
Experimentally (as in yes I have tested that) that's a reasonable estimation.
Not my first option, but as a last ditch option, yes it has it's place.
Thanks for sharing. Your colt is nice 👌
Remmington
Love the boots. I have a big hoof on me and they look like what I can actually use. Price seems a bit much but, I prefer to have happy feet. Thanks.
That Ruger is a beauty! Great video as always Cpl.
Very cool conversion cylinder. May have to add that to the collection. Thanks.
Steel toe boots are bad for cold weather use because the Steel gets cold and helps to give the wearer frosty toes
Heavy too.
Thanks Corporal
I absolutely love your black powder carry. Back in the day, I had a full set of New Model Colts.
Many years back, at 15 yo , I built a 1858 black powder revolver for my grandfather. A Christmas present. When he passed, my family said it was his favorite present he ever had. My family gave it back to me as a keepsake. I have a whole set to forge my own bullets. I learned the way to make black powder. Bought a black powder rifle. If it ever comes down to it I can get by with.
Keep it up man, you don't realize how important what you do is to people who have no clue about survival. Life saving information for them. KUDOS.
I have that same 1858 remmy in the 5 1/2" sherriff model. Love that pistol
That is absolutely beautiful gun great choice
Awesome video Shawn and I don’t care what RUclips says about you? Your an amazing instructor hands down. And definitely the master of the bow drill skills and I learned from the best and that was you in first hand experience with hands on instruction ❤
03 I still had my black jungle boots we switched later that year going into 04 for the rest of the corp
Great info. Thank you!
All those primers have indentions on them. Maybe it's from the hammer pressing the firing pins. But that seems super dangerous for carrying.
That Colt Army is what was used by Clint Eastwood in Pale Rider. I have a 1851 Colt Navy in 44 cal not conversion but custom trigger spring polished action, and Slix Shot nipples. It is one of my fav guns. 😇
Meant Remington Army. So busy thinking about my Colt......
Just like that, another excellent AF gear video!
Is the bug out shack still standing? Do you use it at all anymore? Thanks for the videos, what ever they are I watch them.
Nice, like that they did the cylinder that way
Love the Casio. I used to be able to see the time without glasses. lol
Great video sir. Awesome back story to the watch.
Mr,Kelly. Great video 📹 so happy with the skills you show!! Keep up the awesome work 👌
100% agree on the steel toe boots.
If you're doing something that requires steel toe shoes, you should probably also be wearing a helmet.
I'm much more concerned about a heavy object hitting me in the head than the toe.
I wear composite toe caps as they don't set of metal detectors at the airport I work at. When serving we were not allowed to wear steel toecaps.
I grew up near Camillus NY, former home of that knife manufacturer. It is pronounced Ka - MILL - Us (not to nitpick). Very cool that you have one of those!!
Great show Corporal! I have that same watch lol, I got it at the Fort Benning PX way back in the late 80s or early 90s, can't remember exactly, and other that a new battery every five years or so it's still ticking! Also I love that classic Pistola, that's Real Beauty Brother! Keep up the great Vids, always very entertaining and informative!
I like the direction you are going.
I never had those problems with my jungle boots I loved mine
