The "burnt" taters are the best part.

Awesome Charlie. Know I’m hungry.

OOOO...Roast beef breakfast! I haven't tried that yet. Be proud of your lid, lots of character :D

“STEAK”. You keep eating like that you’re going to be chubby like me. 👍😀✝️

I had that book, and wish I still had it. I used to cook pan cakes and bacon with the mess kit, but cooked in aluminum foil in the evenings with potato, hamburger, and veggies. Thanks!

Keep the red in the shed. 🤣🤣🤣

😀👍✝️

Nice video, different ways of direction finding. Thanks

Just bought 2 from my local Walmart today (they had about 10) and I'm super impressed with it. The detent is even good

Mr. Burgee was putting on a clinic with those fish. Sorry for your loss, I can tell he will be missed.

That’s a cool spice roll up you have there. I must have missed the video on that. Safe adventures. 😀👍✝️

Nice one

I had one for a while and came to the same conclusion you did. Some people love them though, but they may just be weird or something, lol.

👏👏👏👏👏

👍

Awesome job young man, awesome job!!!

I don’t have the mk 2 crusader, it’s usually a bit quicker than the mk 1. I don’t know anyone who was issued it however. Esbit and Heximine lights a lot easier (ie. from a ferro rod) if you make shaving first. Thanks for the video, my son loves mac’n’cheese.

Hard to beat eggs and bacon cooked over a fire (or anything cooked over a fire, lol).

Great job! Horseweed has always been one of my favorites for hand drill. One suggestion, scrape off the outer bark from the business end of your spindle about an inch. That seems to help me get an ember faster.

Well done! There's a reason only 11 folks have completed it in all these years--It is hard! Congratulations!

I finally got one on Ebay because all the stores around here are completely sold out, and after asking Walmart's customer service they couldn't tell me when or if they would be getting any more. I would like to get two more, one for my workplace, and one for my tackle box. All the hype regarding this knife has caused them to become unobtainium.

Nice one

Where's the beef?

I tried mine on a ferro rod and couldn't get a spark. Not sure if it might have been the coating on the blade, or just not quite the right geometry on the spine of the knife. I tend to think it was the geometry, as I've got a RAT2 with a coated blade and it still makes sparks without any problem. I wasn't going to try using the OT blade on the ferro rod, as hard a time as I had finding one!

Awesome that breads gonna make you chubby 😂😂😂

😀👍✝️

Good collection of stoves. Thanks

😀👍✝️ cool knife.

Awesome Job. 😀👍✝️

Thanks for the good review. With all the talk about this knife I really want to get my hands on one but sadly walmart doesn't ship to germany... Pretty sad that their german market entry failed badly 15 years ago.

Still have mine. It was my Big Brother's and got passed down to me.

Awesome 😀👍✝️

Awesome. 😀👍✝️

Very nice. Grew up doing something similar in the scouts.

Thanks for the review

Awesome you’re going to get fat eating like that. 🤣🤣. You need to make some bannock in your skillet. 😀👍✝️

I own a few reproductions of the M3 knife and the same Ontario Knife reproduction. The M3 knife was designed to be a knife for those how did not carry a weapon that had a bayonet. The M1 carbine did not originally come with a bayonet and the M3 submachine gun also did not. It was more meant to be more of a weapon than a utility knife. If you look at WWI trench Kives you see they are pointy and don't have wide blades for penetration. When they decided to make a bayonet for the M1 carbine they derived it from the M3 knife and in fact the first ones were made from modified M3 knives. After that all of the US's bayonets up to the M7 had similar blades. However, the internals on the handle ends differ. While you can bushcraft with nearly any knife that has decent edge retention. The wedge-shaped grind bevel of the edge does not favor a keen edge nor easy slicing. However, it does bush craft jobs but with a little more work. In my case I always have a Swiss Army Knife that has a saw blade in one pocket for quick cutting shores, and I would be bringing the M3 knife along in case I was assaulted by man or beast. The stack leather handle and not wide blade mean it is light weight. The leather grip won't break, is non-slip and unless it got soaked in water during cold weather is not going to make your hand as cold as some synthetic handle material. In the desert the leather handle is not going to get too hot to touch and hang on to.

He must be a pretty good buddy to give you two of them...

Hard to beat for the price

That's pretty good. A starter knife.

I hate COCSA and SA

I was given one of these in the late '60's. Used into my 30's. Wish I still had it. Good post.

I cooked a lot of hamburgers, pancakes and bacon on one of those mess kits. I had a copy of that book but lost it. I still have one of those bsa pocket knives. And still have it in my day pack bag. Thanks for the presentation.

You’re making me hungry. I can’t flip my eggs with a spatula. You do it with the handle. 😂😂. Safe Adventures. 😀👍✝️

😀👍✝️

So stinking cute at that age. Too bad they turn into teenagers, lol.

Really interesting Charlie...!!

😀👍✝️

Just dusted off my gear for a late season start. Hoping to get up above 8000 ft and score some German Browns this weekend

I admire you going out in the bush for the night and testing the kit but nobody is hunting, hiking etc. with that size tin in their pocket banging around. Drop it in a day pack or haversack and beef up the shelter with a poncho and emergency bivy and ur golden.
