Not familiar with the US military kit so cannot really help much. The liners are tied in though so do not have to match exactly. A bit more length than mine would make the Holden Tent pitches more effective though.

Great to know it was useful for you. 👍

Thanks for commenting

They are all good in the right circumstances, but we all have our go to favourites. Great to hear which pitches people prefer and the Plow Point is usually right up there

Haha, yeah probably not the best pitch in a strong wind.

Good idea, thanks.

Unfortunately due to no fault of my own, access to these woods have been severely limited, I can only get in there a few times a year now

Thanks, working hard on scripting, story telling and packaging so hopefully more interesting when I start recording again.

@mark.a.cornish great!

Great to know it was useful

@@pattidavid894 sleeping in

thanks

Yes still enjoying my posh coffee, descriptions are as flowery as ever. 😄

Great, was hoping a few people would try it.

Thankyou. It opens up lots of possibilities. knowing you can knock up a frame saw quickly and easily.

You will use it all the time once you try it.

It is about time to get it out again. Thanks for taking a look.

Most people seem to be happy with them, I got sent a reject, the workmanship on it is rubbish. Yes I did complain, but nothing happened.

Thanks

Cutting with the grain was challenging, as the grain went all over the place, especially around the knots. Next spoon will be easy peasy. 😄

@mark.a.cornish ever used horn beam? there is a knot reliable every inch or so was thinking it could make and interesting spoon if shaped right.

@@badgerandthewoodsman No, will try if I ever come across a felled or fallen piece, it has just not crossed my path yet. Imagine it would be fairly hard. Surprised it would have so many knots. .

Still love it , it is really light and would say it is worth it. You can not wind up a titanium stove to cherry red though, things will warp so not as much heat as steel stoves.

@@mark.a.cornish Have you tried it with oaks, and hornbeams and birches? Hold up okay on those woods? so far?

@@mark.a.cornish I can't imagine it getting too hot even with very hot woods because of the size, especially if you add a pipe dampener and close it down to go through the night.

@@8thsinner Yes fine on a variety of woods but do not expect an all night burn, about an hour is the most I can get.

@@mark.a.cornish Well i've been looking at this one for a while, since before this video I think. But I intend to add a baffle, turn the top around and a pipe dampener. And i've heard it should be possible to get a couple of hours out of it like. Guess time will tell though. I'll let you know.

Its a compound curve from wood tools in the UK. Bought the blade and made my own handle, but they also sell them ready yo use.

@@mark.a.cornish nice!!! Been considering buying the same one to upgrade from the Mora 164

@@mark.a.cornish can you do some more carving videos please? Just subscribed and watched your log processing video where you created billets and blanks, found it really good…!!

@@anonymous4201 Thanks, am working on a carving video at the moment so good timing.

I do not leave fire circles though, no one would know I have been there

Am sure it would, but not really interested, just sharing my experiences while out in the countryside.

See deer carcasdes quite often, sometimes not much damage to them other than the ribcage sheared out and missing organs, but have never seen any scat, not that I have gone looking for it. Did see something weird on one walk, it was quite a large cat but very scrawny, very small head and long legs, thought it was some sort of lynx but maybe a feral domestic cat. Very different to some of the others I have seen.

Had not thought about what could be happening in other countries, but you are right, interesting times.

They are fast animals. Also they seem to respond to eye contact, being very happy to watch until you notice them. You are right, had my vid camera in my hands, but was so amazed never thought of using it until after it had gone. Not worried about it as have no interest in trying to convince anyone. Think you have to have the experience of seeing one before believing they are about. Makes camping out in the woods interesting now though.

Sure go for it. Hope it gets more interest for you than I did. Strong reluctance to take it down as it works so well, but very low views whenever I feature it in a video.

Have had a couple of much closer encounters , will go back to the spots and make some video soon. Have been seeing them for years. First time was in sisters garden maybe 20 years ago, having a BBQ and a panther walked along the bottom of the garden very casually. 12-14 of us all saw it and discussed it as it strolled by.

I figure that if I am seeing them locally, they must be fairly widespread all over the UK

It is great to see them from a distance, have had a couple of close encounters which I did not enjoy so much though!

Thanks.

Thanks. Can`t beat that noise.

Yes thanks. Getting back into the groove with a few shorts.

Thanks. Playing around with the shorts and my old footage. Getting the thumbnail I want is a nightmare, hate using mobile phones.

I like fires, but find a quiet spot out of the way, and no one would know I have been there once I leave. Big fan of twig stoves for that reason.

If only the grass gre back

@@billyboing215 if you make a camp fire, it will take 10-15 years for the grass to go back. The heat burns all the organic matter necessary for plants to get re-established.

@petemainacc no absolutely not, I have a bonfire in my back garden most years and it's grown back by spring

@petemainacc u do know farmers some times burn their fields after harvest. They don't then wait 15 years to re plant

Guess I am in a minority then , but fire rings and left over half burnt lumps of wood don`t do it for me at picturesque sites. Could have been worse I guess and they burnt the bench down as well. Cleared it up as best I could .

@@mark.a.cornish No your not. I dont like to see any traces left by people. I do like a little camp fire at home in my own garden in a spot i have for doing it. I was just noteing that IF authorities provided places for Barbies then people might not have them all over the place. Cans, bottles, wrappers, fires .... Culprits should be made to clear them up with their teeth.

Take your point, but it is just a bench in a clearing miles from anywhere, not a designated picnic site or anything.

Yes thanks. Lots of distractions but will be back to filming soon no doubt. 👍
