Wouldn't it be a bit sketchy to store your water in an ammo bag? Lead poisoning and all?

Merry Christmas, Mike. I 😊hope you have a great holiday and a very happy New Year. Hope you can come back home sometime next year.

Merry Christmas Mike!!!...God bless...woods

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Good for pouches, but think the noise from a backpack/waist pack would be irritating

The end pictures are from my time in the Army and visiting and climbing in Bertesgarten Germny, Obersalzberg. Thats Tim, Dave and myself in the pictures.

I used this method with my Canadian Forces arctic mittens when I was camping in -39 C, because having to pick up my mittens from the ground was just not an option - my fingers began to freeze in seconds with them off... I recommend this technique to friends!

I have a few pouches in Dyneema which also use to be called Cuben Fiber. Tarps made from this are amazing. Hammock Gear makes huge tarps, hyper lite mountaingear makes full tents as well as Zpacks and many others but its really pricey.

Just got one from a Pakistani tailor, amazing piece for winter days.

Tks for sharing, great tip. 🎩

Great idea

Would a mora companion do the same

I would suggest you add a canteen pouch on both sides under the sustainment pouches. Can use both for canteens or one side for water and the other for additional storage. Would open up more room inside the pack by displacing your water bottles. Also, using a canteen you can nest a canteen cup and stove. BTW, just using a back pack cover in your choice of camo is a cheap way to upgrade the color of the pack instead of dying it.

Excuse me, what is the capacity of the two sub bags on the front of your kahakka? 4L or 6L?, thank you.

It's nothing more then a Condor Bushlore copy basically as far as design goes. Sure it works well.

£800/£1000

Nice knife! It’s not 01 (the number zero), but O1. I believe the letter O designates it as an oil hardening steel. And likewise the A in A2 tool steel designates it as an air hardening steel.

Hi Mike I own the SWC one in oak beautiful knife, he was the maker after Alan wood but also sadly died, I had the latest emberleif version with black micarta handle but didn’t feel the handle material and went to bushcraft show last year and swapped it for brand new oak handle and some cash lol👌

Always loved this design

It's not European sizing it's Chinese sizing I had to try three before I found one that fitted. Helikon products do not seem to be as good quality anymore. thanks for the review.

Nice review. They are a great knife, I don't use mine as much as some others I have but it does get used. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, made me curious of my grandpar's old 8x30 I have. Looked and same shape but its an Optolyth 8x30 and says made in Germany. No mil-dot though.

4:35 Inter- Pupillary Distance Basically, how far apart your eyes' pupils are, and therefore how far apart the eyepieces have to be positioned so that you can see clearly out of both sides of the binoculars...

Hello sir, neat video. What jacket are you wearing?

Looks like a good shirt. Glad you made the comment re elasticity i ordered 1 too small. Should have got the slightly bigger one. Good shirt once it was in the right size

Still have mine in use since 1998. Broke the main blade doing something stupid about 2 years ago. Sent it back for repair under warranty by leatherman and got it back. Amazing service

Nice form factor and size for what you are getting. How well do they cope with the cold weather as in does the magnification dial become harder to use?

Never knew what the leather flap was intended for... thanks for sharing!

Ordered my exact same pair long ago on a website but they already were in the 300-350 bucks range.... at receipt had the surprise to see that they were not Kern but Leica... suits me well too...

I’d be interested in hearing how you ended up in Switzerland in the 90s, what you’ve done since living there, and some of your background. Cheers Mike !

If you would learn to tear them down, clean, and repair optics, you could see the differences in the quality and the builds. Then you stick to the ones that you know fullful your requirements. There are some that really surprise you. Especially, the older ( 1950's) Japanese models. The build can be excellent and they're usually very rugged. Surprisingly crisp optics too, on certain models. Learning about optics is a wonderful journey.

I have a copy of Mors Kochanski's Bushcraft, and when I took some training from him 15 years ago or so, he wrote in it "The more you know, the less you carry", which I think was his motto. Good to see your latest video! Cheers from Toronto. Simon.

Why don’t you like the sheath, i have one with a black sheath and its nice and sturdy and fine ?

Btw whats the weight on this?

Super nice knife. I have the s1 pro. And still thinking of the f1 knife in com3v i sent back on Amazon. I cutted with it before returning(shhhh). But was amazing cutter. Been thinking about buying another one of these. Because the weight savings. Or a bark river gunny scanni.

Great info Mike!...thanks amigo...MT

Savotta is way better

Nice lookin little bag

Hey Mike , I just ordered a black one from Amazon yesterday . Should receive it tomorrow . I was looking at some reviews on it and came across your channel . So I’m a new subscriber … You should do a video on car/Truck EDC gear . I think it would be interesting . Stay well …

Yes, it is true. Just a Supertool, the best name for that excellet tool. It is worth of its name. Thank You for this video. Greetings from SLOVAKIA. You have a new fan Sir.

Looks nice

Jim green boot company are developing a mock toe moccasin style boot and they will be coming out soon and will be less than half the price of these for those of us who cant afford 6, 7, 800 bucks i wish i could afford them tho lol one day

The old version has no lock on the blades but it was the best you could get at this time; i was in the Navy, it rusted easily. Also owned the newer 300 version, i didn't like the steel they used, easily broke the screwdriver. After that i tried plenty of lighter different models, the last ones i still use are the wingman séries.

Love the clean, simple look of the old pst/supertools

That's the one I own! The stainless (silver) Supertool 300. I love it. Never thought I'd use one, but my friend said he swore by his Gerber. I bought it a couple of years ago, and wow... big, but amazing.

I own this pack and the Jääkäri M quoted as 30L ... In my opinion it's way bigger .. I'd say it would hold all that kit inside before you even add side pockets .. you can also clip on the Hatka 12L.. obviously the more you lump on it weight wise the more you push to he comfort of the carrying system. I love Savotta kit they are beautifully made ... I like the Kahaka 25L but I keep it uncomplicated without pouches added because it has no ventilation on the back... Because it's designed to be worn over body armour

Many thanks Mike, fixed my problem perfectly.

I'm making a winter setup for myself. Last winter i did -8 -12 celcius and i was as warm as a rolled buritto with hot sauce. Might upload a video about it once its finished. Its not cheap lol
