Cool that you can easily remove when you have the top completely down, don't really like how it looks when down all the way I would rather remove it, very nice video very helpful 👍🏼 I am looking to buy one
thanks bro, nice clip. Looking forward to more of the Blazer. All the best.
This is a graet overview. But iwonder how much does it weigh with all its contents?
I didn't weigh it unfortunately, but I do have a video coming out about using it as a daily / travel bag. I'll weight it for that video cause it'll have updated/changed contents.
Do you have some information about the bandana for me. Would like to find in Germany :)
I got it off of amazon. It's a Foraging Field Reference Bandana. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WFKL2JM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You do know your not spose to cook in thoes right
You have the ability to cook in the original steel mess kits, it was created with that purpose in mind. I would advise not cooking in the aluminum knockoff versions.
Only twigs were harmed in the making of this video.
Keep up the good work Ken
Just a forewarning to those considering buying such items.... I have tried a couple similar but different items and they tend to warp and distort if you actually try charging them on hotter days in the 90s and above ... The mini solar panels in generally are worthless on cheaper units... The items work good if charged from outside sources or from larger portable solar panels like a folding 30watt panel I have... Definitely do not trust your life to charging these items in the wild....
That's good to know with the heat. The 2w solar on this would (in perfect conditions) take all day to charge which isn't great. I do carry a stand alone solar if I carry electronics in my kit. It's a power traveller I got from rei years ago so probably looking to upgrade from that soon.

Great video and gear review! Thank you so much for putting our ventilation frame to the test and sharing it with your subs. We are delighted to see you enjoyed wearing it. To increase the airflow on your back, try flipping the mesh sleeve so that the pocket mesh faces your back. This will help with the wicking. Then, if you want to maximize airflow and sweat evaporation, wear the frame without the mesh sleeve. Feel the breeze, not the burden!
It's pretty great, I bought another one for my wife's hiking bag.
Always admired your Blazer!

That’ll be useful for Texas summers! 🥵
Definitely helps having that breeze go across the back with a bag on.
Super cool!
with a back pack like yours, the hip belt should carry alot of the load, does the vauclues frame affects that?
The hip belt still carries the load. The frame just puts a space between you and the bag letting air flow. It still carries the same.
How did you mount the ditch lights? I've been wanting to do a similar setup. Nice video!
It took a little bit of work but I used the same mounts that the fog lights used. I'll do a video covering the lights soon and show what I did.

Useful stuff! I just bought two of these stoves for emergencies. The other way I saw them being used is on their side, as a pot stand and windscreen for an alcohol burner.
you might not want to position your cups handle, over, one of the openings. and you might try shavings, or chopped bits, instead of twigs. and then add a third "wall", that's actually on a 45, that might act like a chute, for adding bits. happy camping.
Thanks
They make good chip carving knives
Good review, thanks. Do you think the Grayl filters are compatible with the BG?
No the filters are not cross compatible. They thread differently from each other.
@@Tailored_Outside Cool, thanks. I was just curious becasue I have used different types / brands of filters in my Aquarain gravity system.
I use that German elephant skin groundcloth as well, really tough material. I've even rigged it up as a temporary tarp.
(900 grams not 90!) - Great video, I'm enjoying going through all of yours. Cheers from Toronto, Canada.
Thank you for the correction.
Nice old K5. I would leave those 1/2 t axles on it if you want a dependable easy daily 4×4.. unless your planning on hard use.. I always liked the 2 or 4" soft ride type lifts with 33 to 35" tires.. nice easy inexpensive set up.. lookin good!
I would like to have lockers in the future, that's the reason I want to go for the 14bolt. I don't plan on rock crawling and 35" is the max ill go in tires.
New sub. Keep em coming!

Cool video. Esbit stoves don't get enough love.
The ratio was 1 cup to two pounds of wax I’m pretty sure. I think you used too much mineral oil. Although I may need to go rewatch the video on it. 😊
I had the right ratio, it did actually "heal" itself in a way. I did us a different brand of mineral oil than him, I'm not sure if that mattered or not.
The update I've been waiting for :) Good to see you trying things :)
I hope this information helps.
I love my Esbit so much, I bought a backup! When I used to be stuck guarding missile sites I'd heat up 16 oz of water for freeze-dried foods or just coffee. We were stuck in our Ram Chargers for 13 hours so I used a scrap of wood to prevent damaging the interior carpet. This was back in the 80s. Hot chili was welcome while the wind chill was below zero. I learned how NOT to use the old, blue Trioxane fuel in an enclosed vehicle. Esbit also burns twigs and charcoal briquettes. Just protect your skin from the heat. I only "cooked" in pans bigger than my trusty canteen cup outdoors while camping. A small fire is superior to the Esbit fuel tabs but since I also burns twigs the humble folding stove will always have a place in my kit.
Weber sells these white cubed firestarters, but they are smudgy as hell.
What's that critter at [0:50]?
It was a fawn.
@@Tailored_Outside Cool. Fast little guy.
Really nice product 👌👌👌👌
Nice video. it looks like you built yourself a Czech Army bedroll. Good idea putting the mat inside so its a simple roll out, inflate and get in
I use my Esbit Stoves almost exclusively with Alcohol Liquid and Gel Fuels .. for many years now. Here in Switzerland, they are cheaper and more easily accessible than the Esbit Hexi Tablets (although I do keep a sealed pack of Esbit Tabs in each of my Stoves for 'just in case'). Burners .. almost anything metal-based .. limited only by the scope of one's imagination. I have filled my liquid fuel burners with Ceramic Wool / Glass Fibre or Carbon Cloth to mitigate the danger of burning fuel spillage during an inadvertent knockover. Compressed Charcoal Briquettes, soaked with Alcohol Fuel before lighting, work also .. especially when a long gentle heat is required. 'Twigs'? I have never seen the need to try them .. preferring then, to use a dedicated 'Twig' or 'Hobo' Stove .. or a small wood fire. I consider the 'burn compartment' of the Esbit Folder, as it is, too small and inappropriately ventilated to realistically accommodate a twig fire. I have though, seen some modifications on You Tube where the Esbit 'Burn Compartment' is extended upwards with what appeared to be, some success. One should take note that, irrespective of the size of the Burner, the Alcohol-based Fuels therein will burn at the same temperature. 'Heat Output' is a function of the 'Surface Area' of Fuel burning. Controlling that will effectively control Heat Output.
Thank you for the information.
@@Tailored_Outside 👍
I have been thinking about using an Esbit stove with 2 - 3 Matchlight briquets. I heard that in some parts of Europe that Esbit cubes are now illegal so stock up now.
Yes, apparently the UK have gone all 'Nanny' regarding the Esbit Hexamine Tablets. Other Countries, I am unaware of. Here in Switzerland, they can be sourced at Outdoor Stores and such. Regarding the Matchlight Briquettes, I have tried similar and find them incredibly 'sooty'. A good alternative are Compressed Charcoal Briquettes. Soak them with Alcohol Fuel / Methylated Spirits and light. Albeit initially, a slow starter, they give off a fair amount of heat .. good for cooking stuff that can 'stick to the pot bottom and burn. Best though, in my experience, is Alcohol Liquid and Alcohol Gel Fuels. 'Twigs'.. naah.
In the Netherlands still legal. I bought a new one, it has a windblockscreen now. Works great.
Do you know if anyone has had success in using camp dry to "waterproof" the bivy bag? Or perhaps in waxing the cotton part so that it's like a "wax canvas tarp" for water resistance?
I am actually planning on trying different waterproofing methods on it this weekend and will be posting what works well.
@@Tailored_Outside Nice! Subscribed and looking forward to what you find out :)
Outstanding! Thank You!
On Amazon, this is listed as a Purifier not just a filter. Im trying to decide Grayl or Bachgold.
The Bachgold is definitely a great tool. It has its ups and downs like anything. I did have it leak on an airplane one time when it fell over next to my bag. The Grayl does has a one way valve that's removable in the filter so you can add electrolytes or drink mixes to the clean water, the Bachgold doesn't have that. I always have one or the other in my bag. if you're only using it for hiking or recreation then the Bachgold is perfectly fine. For natural disasters, urban or near industrial I feel like the Grayl has a stronger filter but way less usage per filter.
It's 24.99 on Amazon currently. I just bought one.
Good idea on the twigs, never actually seen it done in that way.thx for the content good stuff
I have a Grayl and I carry it (as a canteen). I live in the desert south west. I value it, but for me it's a little like wishful thinking. Obviously you need water, any water to make use of it. Located in the rural part of my county outside of cattle tanks and swimming pools I know of only two natural water sources within 10 miles of my house. These are mostly available seasonally only. Here, on foot, your hike is really limited by the amount of drinking water you can carry.
If you have any other ways you use your esbit stove I'd love to hear about it.
