I saw that wrist slice coming. 🤕
I got a agm battery thats 10 years old still going strong
A lot depends on the depth of discharge and the conditions its kept in they are much happier kept cool and charged
Two questions here, since I am doubting which one to buy. You think making a small woodfire (in case you run out of fuel) in the stove would be possible in the BCB fire dragon? Seems way more difficult with the way it is designed (e.g. no air flow, small container, etc). On the other hand I like that the fire dragon fuel seems to be more environmental friendly, but not sure if it will work in the esbit stove?
I couldn't get Fire Dragon fuel in Australia so I can't compare that but I have made twig fires 🔥in the Esbit and that works Well you could run gel fuel in a Esbit with a small lid off a jar
Cheer~~a large aircraft or armored vehicle or ship designed for transporting troops.😊
Which yeti is that stainless steel one?
The plain stainless mug is a 10oz one the blue one I am putting the ice block in is a 12oz rambler bottle with a hot shot lid
Spent many a night under the hootchie, great shelter option
A super practical and versatile bit of kit I carried two on my round Australia trips in the 80s
@kisbushcraftdownunder yeah, mine were issued, and normally hung off the side of my carrier!
Wish more saks used that style of awl. Great build youve made
I was looking at the long screwdriver underneath the scissors I think 🤔it could make a great awl with a bit of work
If you took the screwdriver and grounded it into and awl you could put the can opener back and not be missing out on much because the can opener makes a pretty good impromptu Philips
@@kisbushcraftdownunder or maybe you can replace the large flathead/bottle opener with the combination tool that's on the bantam and keep the awl and the phillips.
Was gonna ask to buy the spoon, but it seems iv been beaten to it.
I still have all of my Snow peak eating tools its a real shame they stopped making the folders they fetch crazy money on EBAY
Bugger about the water leakage for that money. If it were me I'd be picking out the O-ring/gasket and putting some double stick tape or other packing behind it as an experiment. Shouldn't have to do that I know but, you've got them now anyway.
I have added four 5mm holes to each corner its raining so a good opportunity to see if that works but I not impressed. I watched a few videos beforehand and everyone said how great they were regards Mike
Ouch. I feel a bit guilty as I talk these things up but I never needed them to be water resistant/proof so I really hadn't considered it. Would a thicker seal make a difference do you think although it could also make them more difficult to lock down.
I am trying a few 5mm drilled holes around the edge to see if that helps get the water away I was a bit gutted by the water resistance
@@kisbushcraftdownunder Can you get in contact with the company and see if you can swing a refund? The strike me as being a pretty decent company so maybe worth a try?
@@kisbushcraftdownunder I just went and got one of mine and did a hose test on it. Open ended garden hose with a fair flow rate for maybe 15-20 seconds. I did it with both the standard and high top lids that I have. Virtually no water got in except for 1 drop each time and that could have come off the lid as I was removing it. Mine don't have a seal but the lid goes over the outside of the box and it looks like the only way water can get in is via where the clips fit into the lid.
@@oldbloke204 I think 🤔the design has changed? I just got a reply back from Front Runner they say the boxes are only partially water resistant dew/light rain 🌧
@@kisbushcraftdownunder Yeah it has. The lids on mine overlap the main box rather than fit into it with a seal.
WoW that was a good test and didn't expect those results ! 😮
I was certainly disappointed ☹today I will put the GoPro Camera inside and test
Great video - thanks for taking the time to do this - I love mug - indestructable!
Thanks for the feedback I like to hear back from viewers Mike
I just replaced the pan cone (seal) on my toilet. I knew about the inside out trick which I find easier than the "rope trick" if you've got the room.
2 words. Scandi grind
I have an I.C.A.R version from army surplus - works just fine. Thanks for sharing.
Mil-Tec isn't known in any way for their quality, so you can't exspect it to compete with a Vic. In the main part it's not the steel, but the hardening and tempering, where they save on. On the other hand I don't give a s**t how sharp a knife is from the factory - if you can't sharpen a knife, you don't deserve to have one IMHO! First thing I do with new knives is take them to my sharpening plates an give them a grind to my liking, usually razor sharp and polished - the sharpening process gives me the 'feel' for it, its hardness, its toughness. So I know exactly what to exspect - the last time I broke a knifeblade was in 1962 as a 10yo. Any 'cutting test' with a factory edge is completely rubbish. BTW: I don't see a need for expensive sharpening systems, I use cheap diamond plates (~15€ a piece - or less, if from temu) and keep them cool with water, get even ceramic blades sharpened. I think, you can call the can-opener dull too - grind it and it will do a better job. If you don't mind sharpening the tools frequently, Mil-Tec is a budget-friendly option, but if you can afford it, buy Victorinox, they are fantastic
I used a full size Arkansas oil stone at home for decades and that was fine till some of the newer so called super steels came out I then started using a ceramic system with guide rods. Out bush I carry the diamond/ceramic pocket stone and it can cope with anything I need it to regards Mike
The Victorinox GAKs are the best, with Aitors tight behind them. I have looked at the MilTech and it's like they bought the cheapest one they could find at an estate sale and copied it including a lifetime of use without thinking of how it used to look. I love the Vic 108s, and I expect to see the 84mm scissors come back first. :( One use for the corkscrew, because it's pointy but not sharp, is for undoing knots, particularly in boot laces that are frozen solid. I point that out because I don't imagine that Australia sees much snow and freezing rain.
I had a Aitor Gran Capitan and that was a great knife mine came as a kit with a fork and spoon sadly it vanished on a trip to South America
Nice job please do more Swiss army knife videos do you like leatherman multi tools?
I bought a full size one when they first came out but unfortunately it got stolen I still have the small one that has scissors instead of pliers
My Mil-Tec was terribly wobbly. You can strip of the scales, hammer the pin and glue on the scales again. Worked great for me
the old "Bundeswehr Taschenmesser" / GAK was also made by Adler, Aitor, ICAR, CCM, B+H, Klaas, TSR there is also a Victorinox variant with the german Eagle logo that was issued in the Bundeswehr. it was common to keep your issued pocketknife after conscription - thats why so many are still around. Tipp: Dont buy the Mil-Tec or Fox reproduction; the original ones have a better quality, and its possible to find them for a reasonable price. ✌
My tests proved the Mil-Tec repo is very poor quality regards Mike
I never considered changing a stem from the outside, great idea!
its a handy alternative to breaking the bead I did have some bolt in temporary valve stems picked up on a trip to the USA
How much does the 1182ml actually hold?
13444 ml at sea level
@ amazing, thank you my friend. I used to have the 1900ml but it was just a bit too awkward to take around with me. I lost it however which i was very sad about but Just ordered this one now
Have 2 surplus old style GAKs and a Mil Tec one. One is the Victorinox GAK and one by a German company called B&H. The Victorinox is great, the only thing wrong with it when I got it was the blade was dull. The B&H one is rougher than the Mil Tec, it has blade wrap and it is just roughly done. My Mil Tec has a different blade from your's that doesn't even attempt to look like the GAKs and it's OK. Not badly done. I'm lead to believe there are worse Chinese copies out there than the Mil Tecs. I think Aitor in Spain still does a quality GAK copy if anyone's really sold on the knife.
I had a set from Aitor a gran Capitan with a separate fork and spoon I bought in South America
Many Countries source there utility pocket knives for there military & rescue personnel from Victorinox for a good reason. At one time corks we’re used on bottles that didn’t contain alcohol, like medicine and such.
The older Victorinox knives only the officers models used to have a corkscrew still gives me a chuckle
@@kisbushcraftdownunder Actually I think that is still the case, the actual current issue knifes have a phillips screwdriver. I wonder if the German military had something other than alcohol in bottles with a corks. The 108mm civilian version was issued to NATO troops, I have wanted to get hold of one with the white NATO on the scale to add to my 108mm collection.
Great review. Thank you!
are these is good for coffee. Are they leakproof it so how long does these keep hot or cold?
I did a longer Video with heat retention tests a few years back the lid is leakproof the Video is titled Yeti Rambler Bottle with hot shot cap
Nice
its better to keep gear in your car of low value and keep it discreet regards Mike
Anyone have any luck getting Toyota to fix this?
Toyota fixed mine by putting a pad under it on the window side
@ haha ye iv done that already,
Another great idea ! 👍👌😎
A lot to be said for a big mug of coffee in the morning 😀
I also bought these after going through TWO SETS of utter garbage ARB swag poles. Brilliant upgrade. I wouldn’t buy anything ARB other than their vehicle protection bars etc. They should just stick with selling what they’re experts at.
I have had really poor Product support from my local ARB dealer
Much needed series to show folk alternative 👍
We all get caught up in the hype Thor Heyerdahl said Progress is mans ability to complicate simplicity
Always love giving people options to set themselves up on skinny budgets.... My folks family and my scout troop did a lot of great trips on pretty basic gear from kmart and the like.... (no we have Aldi as well). Camping was what we did because we didn't have much coin for holidays.
Some of my fondest memories were camping trips with the most basic gear the downside to over Glampers on Social media is it puts people off from going and having a good time
Yeah really good to see some way more basic and common sense videos in term of costs and practicalities imo. It seems that 100k+ Utes with everything in them is the standard these days but most seem to be missing the point imo. I like to try and dual purpose anything I buy and one of my favourites is to use our 18v tools and batteries for things I can use camping. I have a Lantern, Torch and I can charge other devices off them via an adaptor as well. If I need to process some firewood I have a small pruning chainsaw and obviously other tools can be useful as well. I only have an assortment of Eskies that I use but having said that one of them saved us a lot of wasted food on a recent trip when a fridge failed. Also having a mate with all of the gear is nice as well so that we're not both carrying everything all the time. I would also suggest looking in second hand/thrift shops as well. My wife loves them and has found all sorts of stuff, mostly cooking gear, including an inflatable hiking type mattress. Also if you're just doing trips to a certain area look for camps with some facilities as well. We just got back from a trip to the Big Desert in Victoria and the free camp we stayed at had Toilets, Water, Gas BBQ's, Firepits and was only about 30k's from a small town even though it was really only for 4wd's. Not remote by some standards but then given the amount of people who are doing the Cape or Simpson these days, for example, remote or isolated sort of means less than it did 20 years ago as well. Thanks for the video.
I was looking back at what I carried back in the 1980s and had fantastic Adventures with very little gear and a 15 year old ute.When I started adding up the cost and weight of my camping load today out I was a bit shocked. People spend $50K on vehicle mods then add gear could spend $200K on a set up that's can be stolen
Love it!
You guys make some great products I have been using some since the 1980s
@@kisbushcraftdownunder Ahh love to hear it!
I'm devided between the 12 and 18 oz...but good to see them side by side.
My 12 oz gets the most use from any of my Yeti Ramblers from coffee to cold water when walking or on the train
@@kisbushcraftdownunder Good to know. It's a lot more compact and I need something to bring coffee with me to the library, so it will probably suffice. Thanks for making this video!
Appreciate the review! I've had both jugs for years but think I'm gonna grab trhe 64 oz bottle as well, for the weight. I'm surprised it stays cold longer - the jug lids seem better insulated than the bottle lids to me. But I suppose the bottle lid is just much smaller. I don't think they made a 64 oz bottle when I got the jug, or I probably would have just gotten that to begin with.
All down to the surface area the results surprised me as well informed people make the best decisions glad the video helped regards Mike
I would love them if they were stainless. But I don’t let plastic touch my food…and neither should anyone else if they care about health!
😂🤯
I happened to have an empty prescription vial that was the right size for making UCO candles. Working great.
great to hear you are having a win regards mike
WoW they really branching out ! Looks good and great idea
It's small and easy to carry. After my first camping trip, this reduced the amount of stuff in my pockets, saving space in my backpack. Thanks for sharing
Like layers on a onion 🧅 if everything is in your rucksack and you get separated from it its a very bad day much harder to loose your pants. I learned the hard way after a canoe 🛶capsized in very cold water regards Mike
Blah! blah !blah! To much blah.
This is interesting facts, I enjoy your content, very informative , thank you 👍😎
Its all about time and money you don't have to have the very best gear to go Camping and have some fun 🤩
Can you show in more detail the necklace situation?
I did a video on it years back look for EDC neck lanyard in my videos regards Mike
Thanks for the video! Can you please measure the thickness of the blade in mm?
Its difficult to get a reading with my dial caliber but I would say 2.8 mm
