@stewartlancaster6155 there's no rules Stewart, only personal preferences. Thanks for watching.

@anthonyjacobs6790 thanks Anthony for the sub, I'm glad you enjoyed 👍

@iankuc6827 thanks Ian. That's one of the biggest compliments I've had. 💯👍

@Dylcandraen yes, that piece of wood was seasoned, and I had to brutally thrash it for it to cut through. That little axe is a favourite amongst many, and it is good. However, my personal choice would be the same as you roughly. A fat spined knife for batoning, and a combat knife for feathers and protection. Chopping seasoned wood was not the plan. It just happened that way. I suppose it was meant to be. I'm glad you got some answers out of the video 💯👍

@thephilpott2194 you know your engine stuff by the sounds. I bet some bits have been picked away over the years. Who knows? Hopefully, it is part of the heritage of the area, which I think might give it some protection from trophy hunters. This is one of my older videos when I was just starting out. I hope you enjoyed. 🙂

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty Looking at that fragment of Merlin engine, looks like all the valves have been robbed out, possibly as trophies- certainly easily pocketed!

@@thephilpott2194 I would agree. Or stripped shortly after the crash to help with the war effort?

@mikel6517 we haven't really lost anything mike. There are other fuels out there. And there are serious reasons behind them not being on sale anymore. Just Google it. What I would say to anyone that still has a stash of them somewhere, just slowly use them up, get your money's worth out of them.

Yes but they can make explosives with many easily bought products and I personally hate firedragon or meths. Gas is great but bulky, I have used hexi as my main and only fuel since 1988, so it’s going to be hard to change. I also just use a metal mug US or Crusader and was due to buy some more hexi. What others do you mean ? Great channel by the way😊

@mikel6517 The fire dragon fuel blocks, methylated spirits, gas, and some stoves can run on petrol from what I can remember. You've got to pump them ones up and sometimes the seals leek out the smell of petrol. Not very good. Use your hexi blocks up, and after that, you will have to adapt to something different I'm afraid. They were smelly old things anyway. You never know. You might be glad that you changed to something different.

Esbit still available, fibre eco fire lighters and making my own wax, wood chip, cardboard. That’s the future. Days research for alternatives

@peterhoughton3770 I have to say that when I could smell them things, straight away, I had visions of boiling some water for a boil in the bag and a cuppa. Aarrr sweet memories

I don't use hexi tablets anymore. They were in the garage for nearly 10 years probably and it was only 1 1/2 packets anyway. I would have chucked them eventually. I hope you noticed that the video wasn't put across in a serious way. It was just a bit of fun putting it all together, but also to state a lawful fact as well, except the bit about £100 grand. There are other fuels out there for cooking, so nobody has lost anything except terrorists. Their explosive material has reduced slightly, hopefully. Also, there are still a lot of courageous people in the UK. You just don't get to see them on social media.

⁠I do like the alcohol based heat tabs made in Wales. Firedragon or something. They’re easier to light. They don’t contain as much energy as the hexamine though. It’s a never ending cycle trying to take things away from people that can be used for “evil”. People will always find a way to accomplish their goals. Innocent people just end up with less and less freedom. I love your channel. I’m sorry if I caused any offense.

@Maryland_Kulak no offence taken. The UK is in trouble, but I truly believe that we will deal with it and get things sorted again like others have done in the past. The goalposts of inconveniences just change slightly with technology changes. It doesn't make anything easier, just different, and the younger ones will do it their way that they've been born into. They and we have too. That's the natural order. We all need each other, rich and poor. The Western world can not be allowed to sink. And I believe it won't.

How about you enlighten all of us. What happens next?

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty How about I just unsubscribe instead? Oh! That's what happens next

@gardius8151 fuk off and don't come back. Unlike your first comment about everyone being independent on tyranny, I've seen it before, and I never got used to it or needed it. Therefore, I don't need a tyrannical fool that would have a wobble with a honest question. Tut tut.

@@mottotravel thanks 😊

@A14b19 I'm sorry to hear that the covid struck you down so badly. Hopefully, if you can drive, you could still get near the mountains and with some high ground, over the top, and have a short wander. I've waterproof the denison, so there should be another video, but when I don't know, being it is summer at the moment. Thanks for the compliment and take care

@@WyeExplorer thanks Mark. I have to admit that I had to go back and practice them before making the video. Knots are so easily forgotten. 😵‍💫🙂

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty A pleasure Andy. Hey, I forget these things too-you made it look so natural.

@WyeExplorer yer, the taut-line hitch is a good one to know. It can be used with a guy line as well. So, instead of it wrapped around a tree, it would be wrapped around a tent peg. I've never used a stick as a basha pole. I think it would be easy to work out. The grommets are big enough to have a whittled stick poking through without breaking, and I don't fancy cutting off a couple of hazel branches on video on some authorities' land and encouraging others to do the same. We never cut live branches in breakaway. Anything that was taken from the land was either dead or it would grow back. I'm really glad that you practised it with my video mark. To me, that's the number one reason why I make the videos. To say and show what I know so others can get out there with some confidence and know how. 💯🤟🙂

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty Yeah, I imagine it's fairly versatile Andy. Re-the stake I wouldn't take it from a live tree either. You make good videos bro. Take care.

The fjallraven shirt on the left is true to UK size. The other, I'm not sure. I can't remember buying it, and it hasn't got a label in it due to it being reversible. Hope this helps 👍

Thanks 💯👍

I googled cs survivalist, and the closest I got was cold steel drop forged survivalist. I'm not sure if that's what you've got. I have the srk cold steel and going by that, I would say no to your question. Double the price doesn't mean Double the quality. The esee 6 is good, and the sheath is OK, but it has no combat ability, clipped point. The handle isn't ergonomic on the sides. It's rectangular when looking down on it, and it affected my crutch of my hand between the thumb and finger, which took some of my strength away with a small pain. That's the real reason I made a video on wrapping paracord on a knife handle and chose the esee 6 to make it. I hope this answers your question. There's 100s of knives out there, and it can be a nightmare finding the right one.

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty : I meant the Drop forged Indeed. Thank you very much, I appreciate it a LOT 👍

Thanks for that. 👍

I'm sorry to hear that you were homeless. It's heavily laden with cotton, which is not ideal. But it is of It's time.I hope you enjoyed the video 💯

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty I prefer the cotton version which i used to wear but really what kept me dry was the USGI woodland camo poncho i still own two of these from 2011 and i was literally out all day in these in bad weather and bone dry, i could literally sit there all day on top of a mountain and not care they double as shelter that's why i had two and they also pop together, just use silicone spray on them to keep them in good condition. As you can imagine you see preppers online and personally i don't think much of these people harping on about survival because unless you have actually been homeless with no one to turn to they don't have the experience to give such advice. Reason is a prepper can do some camping and go home afterwards a homeless person does this 24/7 and it really is about survival. Forgot to mention i am from and in the UK and not the USA.

That is unfortunate. This particular one was dirt cheep. £36. I think. If yours cost a lot more, then maybe it's a better type. Anyway, good luck with what you got brian.

Thanks 👍 I suppose I've done a bit of dirt time. You just learn stuff on the way. Though I did have to re-learn the knots.

I use it neat. I now use the ordinary fabsil. It's the same thing but doesn't smell so much as the fabsil gold. A 5 litre can covers 10 jackets. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that 👍

Very good Raymond 👍

Thanks. 👍

OK. Thanks for that Roger 👍

Yes, they are a good choice 💯👍

You're welcome 😊

Thanks. They are excellent knives 💯👍

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed 💯👍

Nice one. They are a good jacket 👍 I'm glad you enjoyed 😊💯

Yes, I agree 👍

I like axes as well. I enjoy making videos on outdoor stuff I like.

Thanks. You're welcome 😊

Yer, that's what I discovered. For us UK folk, the trousers are king when it comes to fjallraven. The jackets are a little below average when it comes to our rain. Unless you add a waterproof to it. I hope you enjoyed the video Peter 👍

Thanks for that. It's interesting to hear what the guys did. What you say makes sense about the flap.

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty To be honest, when I was serving I never really thought about the tail. I was far too concerned as a youngster with fast cars and fast women! But looking back, and recalling being trussed up like Buxted chicken for military jumps the notion of a billowing Denison smock is fanciful. Despite the efforts of my family to dispose of them, I still have a smallish collection of 1959-pattern Denisons. With a snug-fitting Denison the tail makes perfect sense; it takes the slack out of the garment and makes it very useable for everyday, country stuff.

With reference to your first line, same. Now it's just the wild world I'm after. What has happened to me 😳

I'm not sure what you're saying. Best stuff to wash what in?

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty You can't use detergent and Nikwax wash isn't great. I wondered what you use

Oh, I see what you meant. I've never washed my jackets yet with fabsil on it. I just presume you just wash the jacket normally, let it dry, and give it a light respray.

Nice one. I've got a video on how to apply the fabsil, but what you need to know is, what you're waterproofing with the fabsil will smell, so you've got to air it outside, or in a garage or shed for a few days. I've also done another video with the m65 that was waterproofed with fabsil and tested in the rain. You could make a video on modifying the hood. I'm sure you will get a lot of views. The m65 videos are very popular 👍

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty Thanks Andy, I’ll take a look 👍

Thanks Mark. I'm glad you enjoyed 💯 👍

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty A pleasure Andy - I admire your knowledge mate.

Thanks popestar100, 🤣

Reference biting insects, yes it stops them. That was my experience in Sweden. even the reindeer head towards the coast when the midges come out, they are hard core up there. I've never had a problem with these shirts with the breathability. I wear them in my day to day life and hiking with a rucksack. If it's hot when hiking, it's a case of opening up the front and role the sleeves up. The lower back gets sweaty with a rucksack on, but that's the same with any other shirt. I hope you find this useful johnanon3081. 🙂

I can't understand your language, but thanks for watching 👍

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed 💯

Correct, this jacket was really cheap and nasty though. Definitely a good lesson 💯%

The m65 is a great jacket, it's a tried, tested and gained the respect. With the dpm over the top, you can't go wrong.
