I truly believe that being one with every living thing brings us to a greater understanding and awareness of who we really are.
We play a specific role on this earth, some seemingly greater than others.
Although the connections we all share are not always evident, never the less we are somehow all bonded together.
In the bigger picture of life....we are one.
This channel is geared towards mostly outdoor activities such as Bushcraft, Canoeing, camping and some out door product reviews.
My approach to the outdoors is simply to enjoy the moment, find the extraordinary in the ordinary and to respect Mother earth

Winter day out...enjoying the snow, Steak on fire, Flint and steel fire start, wood processing
With one of the first snow falls in Nova Scotia that didn't turn to rain, I decided to go out in the woods for the afternoon. At - 9 celsius with the wind chill it was a great crisp day. I decided to use flint and steel to light the fire, have a coffee and cook a steak on the grill and spend the rest of the day just chilling. Hope you all enjoy !...I sure did (o :

LL Bean Continental rucksack "After 1 year" review
มุมมอง 18K4 ปีที่แล้ว
I received quite a few comments and questions about this rucksack I've been using for the past year so decided to make an "After 1 year Review". I also wanted to give Derrick from Triple X Knives a big thank you for gifting me a beautiful neck knife.

Is bushcraft gear too expensive ?... maybe not
มุมมอง 7K6 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I try to show alternatives to expensive brand name gear. I'm not trying to say that less expensive gear is better or as good as brand names, but to simply show that the outdoors can be enjoyed even if you don't have the budget for the big brands.

Why can't people who are reviewing a product tell right at the beginning how much the thing costs? That way when you find out that it's more than you're willing to pay, you can immediately skip the video.
Great review. I just picked one up for $25.00 used. I'm looking forward to putting it to use. Side question: Who made your anorak?
My Anorak was made by Derrick Tapping of XXX knives. Unfortunately he is no longer in business ... Great used find on the ruck sack !!!
Kijika is my name too
What about the wool shirt/cover with the knife pocket? That thing is awesome!
Yes the Anorak jacket was made in Canada by A Canadian knife maker who started getting into other bushcraft related items. Unfortunately he is no longer in business but his Anorak and his knives were awesome. Thanks for taking the time to comment !
If firebox does not have sticks,check 0ut Verusteleka surplus.Have good prices,and though in Finland,,packages take 2 weeks
👍🏻👍🏻🔥
👍🏻👍🏻🔥
Thank you for this video. I like the way the technique worked out. Definitely better than continuously feeding in dozens of small bits. Glowing red coals are the best. As the late, great Bro Greg always said, "When you have coals, you can do no wrong." Subscribed.
Just found your channel - love your content!!!! Great review of this pack - they just came out with a bigger version of this pack. Are you not making any more videos?
Thanks so much !...Yeah it's been awhile since I posted anything and thats simply due to time restraints with work. I am retiring soon so plan to do it on a more consecutive level. I want to focus more on outings which will include winter camping and of course canoe tripping. Thanks for taking the time to comment !!
Hey look everyone!! This man has a saw!! Doesn't have to beat his knives to death to cut a piece of wood!!! Love the video, thank you.
You are right, a knife is a knife, a hatchet is a hatchet and a saw is a saw.
Great video. What lake is that? I'm in the Halifax area. My guess is somewhere in the old Bowater Mersey land?
Not sure of the lakes exact name but yes it is on the Mersey land... the entrance is off the 103 near Tantallon and these back roads go all the way passed Windsor
@@highlandtrekker Yeah, I think it might be Rees Lake. Google Earth shows a nice sandy beach and then a bridge before turning into Island Lake.
@@StevenZinck Cool !,,,I moved back to Cape Breton and will be doing some lost canoe routes up this way
You really cant go wrong with LL Bean, hahaha. there is always something cool to see in that store or flyer. We are on the hunt for a new pack ourselves, so thanks for sharing this detailed review mate. Keep the adventures coming!
Thank you !, Yes it is a great store. Good luck with your pack hunt, now days there is so much to choose from !!
@@highlandtrekker that has its pros and cons for sure. just glad there is a ton of creators out there like yourself helping make our decision easier.
Good idea that. 👍 I think ill give it a go myself. 🔥
British Army Surplus is the ultimate kit for bushcraft. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧🪵
THANK YOU!!! I knew we could use smaller logs, I don't have many large ones but I have a million ones like yours, I live in the woods. I will never run out. The other way is too work intensive. I may try to use large cans for the firebox with lots of airflow. I don't have birch bark but I have dead stalks from my Jerusalem artichokes that I plant all year. They are just like and burn just like birch. Fantastic video thank you.
You are so welcome ! 😃
I like the Swedish torch and the damper. This is for cooking and not just boiling water
Spoilt by too much talking. Its a common problem with north americans that they think they need to explain every little detail. That maybe necessary for folks from new york but not for the rest of the world. Just rerun the video and ask yourself does that action actually need an explanation?
Thanks for your honest comment : )
Nice! Just got one :D
A great idea! 🙂👍🏻👍🏻
Wool is by far the best Clothing Option for anyone interested in the Outdoors, Hunting, Camping, Fishing, Hiking etc. Here's a list of places to find quality affordable Wool gear. Big Bill's 190/210 models for Pants I prefer the Woodsman Bibs model 190 myself 28 Oz 100% wool pants. Fred Asbell for wool jackets/pullovers, Vests etc, Swanndri shirt jac, Aran sweaters or LL bean for wool sweaters and pants socks, Lobben Boots or Valenki boots both are Wool.
Hey, I wish I could go on a long day with you, live in the woods, and go camping 😢
For anyone watching this review. I got mine Oct 2022 and my 32oz Nalgene and Hydroflask bottles DO fit absolutely fine on the side pockets with some room to spare. I guess they fixed it. They also have free return shipping. I recommend it and it won’t cost you anything if you don’t like it.
I'm glad to hear that...so many people texted me saying that they could not fit a Nalgene stainless steel bottle with a 750ml cup in the side pockets
looks like a vietnam alice pack
i love alice med. i have 2 medium alice. passion. thanks sharing the video
They been making these fine products for a hundred years if they work in Minnesota they will work anywhere
You got that right !, Love everything about it from it's quality build to it's traditional look !
Ok beathifull you pack
Thanks for the video really enjoyed you’re opinion. Nice is that a Solo pot?
Yes it is the solo pot ! Thanks for taking the time to comment
I love this pack, I have had it since 2017. One trick I picked up was to find a plastic rectangle office type trash can and slit it into the main compartment. It adds rigidity and helps to waterproof your gear. The trashcan can also be used to get water or collect firewood etc.
That is a great idea...I've been looking for a trash can to fit my Frost River Royal Jr. pack but haven't had any luck as of yet. Thanks for taking the time to comment !
Thats a great idea. Dont tell backpack companies.

That's a great idea. I have the Bushbox XL titanium that we used last week on a wild hike and camp. Using a Swedish fire torch idea looks like a better idea than constantly feeding wood into the stove. I found that by constantly adding wood meant that we had to much smoke and flames. Will certainly be giving this a go at home before trying on a camp.
I really love mine. Extremely comfortable backpack. I think it's one of the best packs for the money
I agree ! great pack
thorough review. thanks!
Good point! I am 60 ad just getting into bushcrafting myself. Being in shape is a paramount concern to all.
Good video especially in the cold snow environment ! I bought one-
You won't regret it !!
Great ideas. I will have to try burn method. I also dig your leather work using leather from a leather couch. brilliant recycling idea.
Thanks !...Yeah the sheath was quite easy to make
Excellent video. Well explained and straight to the point. Feeling inspired! Many thanks from the UK 🇬🇧. Ben
Thank you so much... that's the whole point "To inspire". I appreciate you taking the time to comment !
Wow, that's just a great adventure - such a Nova Scotian thing to do, put in a canoe some backwoods lake. Enjoyed!
Thanks, It is quite the Canadian thing to do !! Thanks for taking the time to comment
I'm gunna get one i think
Probably one of the best built and versatile stoves you can own !...I say this to everyone " You won't regret it"....If you're worried about the weight they do make a titanium version of this stove as well.
What is that overcoat your wearing
It is a woolen anorak that was made here in Nova Scotia....due to health reasons the owner closed shop and they are no longer produced. Thanks for taking the time to comment !
@@highlandtrekker ah man!
Beautiful!!! cool 😎👍
Thank you so much....I have not done a video in a while but will be doing some soon. Thanks for taking the time to comment (:
Thank for video Very good خیلی ممنون

I believe what you are trying to say is that this is a fire type from Finland and not from Sweden...sorry for my error if that is the case. For some reason around here in North America it is referred to as the "Swedish Torch". Thanks so much for taking the time to comment !
I get about a 45 minute burn with a Swedish torch in a Nano, splitting a limb in quarters, flipping the pieces, bark inward.
That's good to know !, I don't own a Nano but am considering getting one for a light weight option when I go on day trips !!. Thanks for taking the time to comment !
What would I need to start my own YT page? I'm assuming it's a GoPro and a tripod. I'd like to espouse the same type of mindset that you share.
Hi, A lot of YT's use expensive camera gear but yes you could go with a GOPRO but you could also use your phone to get started !
Thank you for this great review! I just got my own Firebox yesterday and am excited to try it out, very cool to see it in actual, practical use as you've shown.
You're very welcome !...It's a great stove, I'm sure you won't have any regrets !! Thanks fort taking the time to comment
I hope Derrick is doing well, I own 3 models including this one and love them all equally.
Such an amazing knife, I now own three different models from TripleX knives. Derrick was an amazing knife maker, sad to see him shut it down!
Yeah it was ...he was a good guy to ! Thanks for taking the time to comment
Cool!!
liked the video, thanks for sharing
I love mine!
