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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.
