Made my perfect first time after this..thanks

Thanks

If you are wanting to shoot slugs it would be easier and more efficient to mold your own slugs you can use wheel weights, melting them down and pour them into a mold and make you slug. I will use about 36 grains of 4756 gunpowder behind it

Great vid! Tied my first lanyard. Made my knife really feel like my own. I’ll use this knot in the future I’m sure.

You already have a roly-poly dump pouch on there, i find that this pouch works well to carry a nalgene bottle.

Glad to see you back and that the comments are working! That last video was like “frozen” by YT or something.

It’s kind of like the old Glazer Safety Slug. Good utilitarian improvisation. I always wondered if you can shoot those 12 gauge flares from a shotgun and if one could be used to start a fire. Like 40 yards away? Iraqveteran8888 had a good older video on cut shells. Not really common anymore but was probably used a lot in the Great Depression days. Thanks for taking us along!

Forgot to mention... if you have chokes in your shotgun, you should take them out before shooting cut shells. My Mossberg is a smooth bore, so I wasn't thinking about that.

Keep in mind also those items could be considered has burglar tools and get you in trouble with law enforcement.

Unfortunately, Suunto does not have good quality control over its equipment... I recently purchased a Suunto Clipper SN from the DiveInn website and, after 48 days waiting for a shipment that never arrived, I was still charged the full value of the product in my country because of the absurd packaging, and the compass arrived with a manufacturing defect, with whitish assembly glue and jamming at certain times. Buy American products, avoid European products because there they take a lot of time with woke ideologies that don't even know how to glue a piece of plastic cleanly and do not remove defective products from quality control. Suunto, never again!

I strongly recommend that you no longer buy this type of Suunto product due to the poor quality control and disrespect for the end consumer. I was unable to contact or get a response regarding the defect from Suunto. I DO NOT RECOMMEND SUUNTO PRODUCTS DUE TO THE LACK OF END CONSUMER ASSISTANCE. It seems that the Swiss company Silva also has a similar product and should have better service. Could you please indicate which other companies, preferably American, have similar products so that I can purchase from those and throw away the Suunto one?

Dude is bad with math 😂

What pack is that? I have one literally identical but smaller its just slightly too small and my mystery ranch just slightly too big. Thanks for the info.

excellent video, couple of things i have in my pack, moleskin , blister packs, and an ACE bandage..... minimal room , n blisters n sprained parts hurt.... i also keep a 25 round box of self defense ammo, i feel the weight is worth it...

This is good,,,, were trying to get home, we are not going camping or bugging out.... we dont need tents, hatchets, and all the cooling stuff, keep it simple, and keep it light. Some good stuff, thanks for your time.

TOO complicated for me. Please share with viewers, a high level of hand-to-eye coordination is necessary.

I used a 308 magazine pouch it’s holds the cup and the canteen too works fine for both

you dont survive

Lol. Opens with I know I look like a profesional landscaper. Me: The professional landscaper 😂

Is it too late for you airate my lawn?

I lost mine it slipped of my watch band on a canoe trip. Lost forever , moved to the ones wazoo survival gear uses they have a enclosed loop to capture the watch band no chance of slipping off.

Mic check. Trying to figure out why the comments aren't working 🤔

FYI. Commented on new video on 12/19 and comment was deleted and no other ones either. You may have a problem to check into. I just found out because I had an afterthought I wanted to mention. An o-ring of the right size is the perfect thing to put around the "trigger" of a Bic lighter so fluid can't escape if depressed in a pocket or bag. Easy on, easy off. Stays on way better than a rubber band. Thanks.

simple, easy, effective, i like it!

I use it for general directions in the woods and I find it very handy.

Good video and well thoughtout. If I may let me toss this out there. For a get home bag or a mission essential bag. I go with a very light weight sleeping kit. I use a piece of heavy plastic like painters use and lay it on the ground I lay my poncho over top of it and stake it down I put my sleeping mat in the middle of the two with my woobie in there as well. The plastic ground cover folds into into a small thing square. light and takes up little room. I throw my poncho in the bag and roll up my woobie inside my sleeping pad.My pack is about the same size as yours and it works well. Just food for thought.

Great video, thank you

I have one of these, also the suunto mc2 global, I prefer the m2 is see the wrist band one for dire emergency.

Popped out of bezel for two of them and developed bubbles 🫧 in a couple others I’m done with these suunto’s.

Good observation and improvisation! I like the “look around and make something work” attitude. I have Dave Canterbury’s forester’s blanket, which is basically a woobie with a head hole and some straps. He did a video on it. My Suunto clipper has now died.😢 Still waiting on the mail just to let you know. Ranger bands, fire extender and probably some other things that could be made from the tubes, like you said. Thanks!

Useful idea.

I have three of these. Stuffed in small basic personal survival kits or get home bags. Great emergency compass , no bubbles yet and true.

Innertube gives you a good extra firestarter too.

I like the thinking outside the box, well done

Those cost a few bucks more but I don’t trust the other option - those cheap no name made in China button compasses.

Have owned at least 4 of these through my 47 year career as a consulting forester. The last two I've had had issues with bezel popping off You don't always find them Suunto was not helpful in replacement However, they are still the best option

Aquatabs does NOT do cysts. IIRC you need the Katadyn tabs for that or something similar for that.

I agree completely with your assessment on bic lighters. I hate them. They leak, malfunction, work badly in windy conditions, don’t work in sub zero weather or high altitudes and run out of fluid. With a ferro rod you’re going to have a fire not matter the conditions. It could be in that kit for years and still work with NO maintenance. I don’t get the fascination with bic lighters. A ferro rod and some storm proof matches are way more reliable.

Great kit for the situation you’re describing. I would suggest one change. A Swiss Army Knife with a corkscrew would allow you to add two tortoise gear fire starters to that tool. This provides for four more emergency fires.

I haven’t picked one up yet but I like those SRO slim canteens and they are great for a condensed kit. One thing I would point out is that cup does allow you to boil additional water making a good survival tool if you’re stuck overnight. As long as you have a fire kit of course.

Saw your video but I have to say Cammenga compass made a wrist watch made out of brass no water in it to freeze balanced and the best one ever this is my vote

Great! One more thing to fall out of my pocket in the woods 😂

For what it's worth: unless you keep track of any turns you make and how far each leg is a compass will not bring you back to where you left unless you walk a straight line in and out. If you walk in 100 feet at 360 degree (north) then went 100 feet 90 degrees (east). When you come back on your back bearing 180 degrees (south) you will be 100 feet east of where you started. Any compass is a valuable piece of kit and you should never be in the bush without one. Just understand how they work.

The site radius on that is ridiculously shoit's just for basic rough guestimates. It would be a lot better to stick that on top of a hiking stick.

It will go on a watchband and the watch will throw it off.

I had one on my watch band on a canoe trip and when I was lifting my canoe onto my shoulders it got ripped off and flew off somewhere in the long reeds or grass along the riverbank, I couldn’t find it. I still have one but I keep it on my headlamp strap. Thanks for the great video!

Thank you for the information. Where can we check online to buy this Fanny?

Great video

Great video. It seems like the new philosophy is to carry a ferro rod along with a lighter. As you mentioned, a ferro rod is a sure way to get sparks. I now carry a small ferro rod and lighter in my pocket. Both are tied down using 550 cord.

As far as boiling water in a plastic bag, I carry an oven bag or slow cooker liner bag. As long as the flame does not touch the bags these work. Obviously, these are used as a last resort. I also carry a Water Pak plastic bag to store water.
