Replace your boot laces with 550 paracord and they will never fail you
Paracord doesn't hold a knot unless you use a very specific knot
Yep and you can brake paracord down and make fishing lines, snares etc…
@@harrymatthewsmusic yes it does lol
They would melt and essentially become hot tar in a fire, not ideal for a fire fighter like him lol
@@tylorlyman I mean unless your boot is directly on a fire that wouldnt happen i dont think might aswell just stick to leather laces anyway
Some times it's the little buried nuggets that make your videos well worth the time to watch.
A lot of times I have a hard time thinking outside the box. I've always struggled with labeling my plastic gas cans. The permanent Sharpie would always start to fade whether it was on a piece of tape or right on the plastic. Then I saw those little engraved labels you had on your water and gas and thought, THAT'S IT!! I surfed around and found a source so now I'll have one for my mix, one for straight, etc. Thanks man. :-)
Don't know if someone already commented on this, but here's what I know about Quick-clot. Being in the military we got issued that all the time when it first came out, and you can still find it around now, but the military has gone away from using that towards the Quick-clot gauze. The quick-clot powder was causing severe burns to people, and also, if you have a wound deep enough to get into the artery, the powder was entering the blood stream and getting sent to the brain, causing the victim to have a stroke. The gauze is much better because there ins't the chance that will happen.
Hope that was helpful.
Great video by the way, very informative.
+Bainanaz tourniquets have been frowned upon in the ems world and medical world for a while now but they are making a come back. they are still considered as a last resort but they aren't as dangerous as some people think.
HonestOutdoorReviews
No longer considered last resort, 1st choice for extremity injuries. Even if it's a venous bleed if its flowing quick use a tourniquet if you got one and place a pressure dressing. No blood = dead. We can't fix dead in the ER.
Also, if a wind kicks up when using the quick clot powder, it can, and has, caused eye injuries
When i was deployed in afghan they also changed the recipe because it was shellfish based an people had allergic reactions to it
They have changed the formula so no more severe burns and an almost negligible chance for clots in the blood stream. Much safer now. (I’m a Paramedic). Personally I prefer the quick clot sponges or z pack combat gauze.
just a little tip on your round files. when you have a bunch of files in a box or tool box they move around . I like to slide mine into plastic straws to help protect them from getting damaged. good video with a lot of useful info
So you're worried about a piece of metal that's made to rub against another piece of metal getting damaged by rubbing around in metal???
@@cwatson42785 "when you have a bunch of files in a box or tool box they move around" meaning they move around and hit each other causing them to get dull. not necessarily to protect them from getting dull from the mild/soft steel tool box they are in.
@@agelectronics1 Ah I see! Thanks
Gives a perfectly logical reason for every single item in his toolbox, then hits us with this. "And I keep a Sharpie for... Because I... I... I like Sharpies". You sir... Are awesome!
Usually any job requires a sharpie lol sweat rubs ink from pens off.
One of the things that are consistent in your videos and that i really like is how you value old stuff.
You pack a lot like I do: I was raised by folks who went through the Depression, so I try to cover most contingencies. The whistle is a great idea. Three blasts on the whistle is a universal distress call. Do 3, pause, do 3, pause, and keep doing it. The whistle's sound really carries, and you don't wear out your voice. Around here we also take map & compass, and tell someone where we are going, in case they have to send someone after me. Regardless of the season I take a jacket.
I used to work as a supervisor for a forestry company back home and I always tethered everything to my vest. If you didn't you lost it.
A testament to your videos is that I'm a city boy from England. Never swung an axe in my life and yet i can't stop watching your channel. Your videos are always so well made and informative, even for someone who doesn't have the most basic knowledge lol. Keep up the fantastic work you and your family do. Kind regards
I always wear steel toed boots. I also carry a small, maybe 2-3lb crosspeen hammer for driving wedges, rather than using an axe. I also always have a cant hook for rolling logs.
you're a couple of true love when you can happily go thrifting on date night
I keep a spare bar nut. Nothing more frustrating than dropping it and can't find it.
@Brett Benge Pus the spare bar nut on the fuel line in the fuel tank. Pop off the filter, slip nut on line then replace filter. Most saws now are using nuts that don't come off.
Came here for the guns in the thumbnail - was disappointed
I wouldn't magnet to stop the rattle. The rattle alerts bears and cougars to your presence and they will usually choose to avoid you. Hopefully anyhow.
This is incorrect. The steel used to make a maul is softer than axe steel and designed to strike another maul or a wedge.
holy shite, DO NOT look up chainsaw injuries. DO WEAR ALL PPE
I wish I would have seen your comment before I looked that up
My cutting kit also includes a quality machete. There isn't a day that goes by in the woods where I live that having a machete isn't a necessity. Wild thorn-bearing bushes are everywhere around here and loppers sometimes take too long and are a burden to have to carry around.
Jim Garrison bn
Epoxy a magnet from the read/write head of an old hard disk. Make sure it's not too strong though because the axe could get stuck :) 14:57
This has probably been mentioned but a disadvantage of using a magnet in the axe sheath is that over time the the axe will become magnetised as well. I have some tools where this has happened and it can be quite annoying when your centre punch sticks to your hammer.
If your wear Filson suspenders you won't need a backup pair. Filson won't let you down.
To keep that hatchet from rattling just use some adhesive backed felt padding like the kind used on a bow for an arrow shelf or strike plate(fellow archers will know what I'm talking about). I know you mentioned felt and said it would be too much of a hassle but with steady hands it's a job that will only take a few minutes. You could just use those self-adhesive felt pads like the ones used on the bottom of furniture. Even a few layers of duck tape would keep it from rattling.
Moleskin
instead of having a second saw i just carry an extra bar and chain. i also carry a tool to clean out debris from the bar oiler groove to extend bar and chain life.
a timberline sharpener,
quite expensive but it works so nicely. the fact that it is not powerd by electricity is a nice thing too
I am an EMT and the current thinking in the medical field is that it is better to use a tourniquet than the quickclot. Quickclot it ruins the capillary beds veins and arteries so when you do finally get to a hospital they have to graft new blood vessels to the site where you applied the quick clot. With that said direct pressure is the best if that doesn't work then use a tourniquet. it takes many hours for a tourniquet to kill the limb that it is on where as quickclot only takes seconds
The full face shields are very useful if you fell trees for a living or if you work a lot around heavy machines and so. Stuff breaks every once in a while and pieces fly about. I can't tell you how many times people have gotten away with a scratch in their face when they could potentially have had severe or even deadly injuries. They should make protectors for the throat though, that's a weak point.
Have you ever thought about doing a biographical series? I'd like to know more about your story! And you tell stories so well.
I’d love to see you revisit this visit and update us on your buildout. Any changes or updates in your gear here?
No devils lettuce in your fancy yellow bag?
Probably not the best thing to be doing while cutting wood lol
Coffin Nails oh I beg to differ
Coffin Nails not really it actually makes you steady handed
jacob bennett dose he smoke
Jeffery Kennedy Honestly, I smoke everyday while tearing em down
Love your videos! I've been watching one a day and improving my tool arsenal!
Hey Cody great video !! I’m having an issue finding decent eye protection for use with my power saw being that I wear glasses anything I seem to buy they would fit over my glasses fog up like crazy. Is there anything you can recommend I should try. Thank you 👍
Look into bill hooks. The best thing for limbing and chopping up limbs if you can't leave the small stuff where it is. Especially good for cutting small stuff near the ground.
Yeah no joke but I always like a machete for some odd reason
2 saws in case one gets stuck in the tree
Or possibly just a second bar and chain to rescue the first one.
John Canfield Wow never thought of that
WEAR YOUR CHAINSAW CHAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cody if you every see what a chain saw wound looks like and how easy it is to prevent you would wear them ! Blood loss alone will do it for me. I responded to a few and it was all over when we got there if someone hadn’t stopped the bleeding. It’s like wearing a seat belt they save lives ! I for one want to see many more videos from you. 🤠
Great presentation! All of your videos are full of good ideas and are fun to watch. Keep up the good work.
My man talking bout Costco
*Costco is love, Costco is life.*
I make my own fireplace tools. Like the poker ect. Out of Rebar > I just made a heavy and a light poker out of rebar. They work excellent> Welding a hook on them and bent it, for a handle Easy. It took longer to grind them down! Than welding and torching the rod for a handle and a hook. I just made a loop rod for sliding under the logs and move them around, and some time i use the loop to catch the log and move them around >> IT WORKS EXCELLENT
I also like Sharpie black markers I use them in making graphic coat of arms logos I tend to go through a few of them per project right now I'm making something for a sister in the Lord who lives in Uganda Africa she has a school of children there this logo is of a Christian nature by the way I would love you speak you sometime
Unless I missed it, carrying a spare c-clip, washer and bearing for the clutch drum is always good.
I have them in my kit,
Wranglerstar jk

good vid, enjoyed the narration and explanation of all your kit. One thing I would add is that CELOX > QUIKCLOT. It's safer and doesn't do tissue damage. A good pair of saw chaps / safety pants will prevent most leg injuries.
Some really great ideas in this video. Way more than I currently have on hand. After seeing this I now see lots of room for improvement. Thanks for taking the time.
Dismantle an old hard drive, the rare earth magnets in there are beast, might even be too strong.
If they can make it? SO CAN I > I use the double headed axe a lot! I'am lost with out it! When the maul bust the log, I use the double head axe. To finish splitting it up! Great tool to have
16:28 Chinese Mexican file? What are you talking about? Mexican files are made in China lol
This will be a good reference video. I'm gradually accumulating a lot of those things after watching this.
Also, Cody, was this before you started using your aluminum forestry helmet?
Best addition to every first-aid kit.... A few of the woman's tampons and maxi-pads. Sterile and much cheaper than than anything else.
Wow I thought this was a new video, you showing us what was going to Montana with you. until you started talking about the earth magnet(which you already installed...) so funny hope yall are having fun...
I've used a product similar to quick clot that you can get in the hunting dept of walmart. Cut my hand at work and it was deep I used the clotting stuff and it worked. PROBLEM, once I got to medical care they had to clean the clotting stuff out before I could get stitches. The pain of the Dr. scrubbing this deep wound out was not fun at all.
Louisiana wildlife and fisheries swat uses quick clot and while wrapping the wound they place the package of clot in with the dressing, so the dr knows what was used when going to hospital. He what can you add to help with hornets or yellow jackets at the base of that tree
Hello Cody! Very instructive video! Your Bugz-Eye Googles are 30 or 20 Mesh? A recive my chaps today and I will were them from now one! And I whant to order those goggles because I am tired of fogging safety glasses. Thank you, and all the best!
Trouble with the RE magnet will be that it will pick up any other ferrous item nearby. That may or may not be an issue in your circumstances.
Great video with some good tips.
2 saws and an ammo can with tools, parts, chains, sharpener,etc., gas, oil, falling wedges, gloves. Ax, pick, peavey, whatever else is need for the job at hand and a wood splitter. The rest is always in the truck, fire started, water, first aid, lunch, You know - stuff like that.
The Grizzly Peak Aluminum axe scabbard comes in different axe sizes and is adjustable to your axe simply by stepping on it and smashing it down flatter to better fit your axe size an shape. No magnet or felt needed.
I cut a small notch with my hatchet.
Ammo cans to hold my chains, tall plastic snack containers with screw on lids to hold plastic wedges and a small whisk brush to clear the oil & fuel caps of dust and debris before refueling.
Also a rag to wipe up the fuel & Oil caps of debris.
Rare earth magnets are cheap online or you can get them for free if you tear apart an old 3.5" computer hard drive. You might need a few hard drives if you go that route. I'd say 5-6 broken drives would have enough magnet to hold it pretty good.
Kwikclot used to come as a powder, and that can be bad if you aren't wearing eye pro. Docs would rip the little baggy open with their teeth, it'd disperse and get in their eyes, clotting their eyes. Now it comes as gauze bandages laced with the powder, those are great.
I really enjoy your videos, lots of useful info in them. keep em coming. I have lots of the same stuff in my chainsaw box for cutting firewood.
Stihl and Husqvarna makes combi gas can's like yours - work really well. (Atleast we have 'em in Europe, seems that i can't find 'em in USA)
Anyway love your site! If you ever want some forestry tips - ask away (I'm educated as a forestry technician)
Everything seems to be controversial and everyone has opinions on everything. If you have to use a hemostatic coagulant you’ll be glad you got it.
Just watched this video in 2021. I have Solo VRS 680 chainsaw. A shot in the dark but where can I get parts?
I have the same exact folding saw as yours I love having it. .Your truly a Scout love how your priority is safety. Like having all the necessities of survival as your water and First Aid ⛑️ kit...
why not put a well located crimp in the hatchet scabbard for a friction hold to stop the rattle?.
I do like the hat
U should build a tree house with jack
Wow so thats what that tool is! 😊I have one of them that one with the screw driver on the bottom and socket looking thing on both ends at the top part ..I bought it at a pawn shop I wondered what that was for.. ...
I lined my hatchet scabared with leather and that stops the sound great
Great reminders. I cut oak to heat the house. What I would consider a hard wood. A sharp chain makes for a pleasant day in the country.
My grandpa gave me all of his tools towards the end of his life and I absolutely cherish them. All made in USA.
Met a guy that had a quarter inch notch in his chin. His chain saw kicked back and caught him on the chin. I now make a point to keep my head off to the side of the cutting bar.
Filson has since badged Chinese goods and kept their hefty heirloom level pricing. Shame on them.
I'm glad someone cares about safety...I helped out my father with firewood a lot when I was a boy, and was always glad when the chainsaw shut off and I could start hearing again. I have a frequency loss in my left ear as a result--oh come on, you don't need ear protection!
Have you ever fallen and you can’t get up
Yes, Marty, I have....
I have a hard hat with earbuds and a large screen mesh for my entire face attached to it. Really convenient.
I had a logger friend who fell in love with it so I gave it to him.
Heck Yeah Who don't love the buffet. Your Grand Dad is Awesome.
Missing the cables and snatch block. What Block and tackle would you recommend?
Your grandpa must have worked on the water the time or two if you don't tie it down it's gone
Don't search for chainsaw injuries, just don't
What mountain is that in your intro? I'm going to guess Jefferson
We're's the pliers.
This video resulted in me purchasing a pickaroon. Every time he posts a video... I end up needing more stuff.
On the axe holster I sprayed the inside with flex tape no more rattle and it fits tight
How long did the tax stamp take for your guns in the thumbnail
You can currently find the Gas can at baileysonline for 35 dollars
Wrangletstar, where do you get your metal labels? I'd like to come up with a similar system for Water and First Aid, but I can't seem to find anything that will last a long time similar to what you have.
The bugz safty googles is there any chance you cn put up a link to them please. All your videos cover so many different things its awesome. keep it up.

Why the hell can't you google it yourself Jesus Christ
Can't replace 2 cycle oil at a gas station? Huh... For a fellow who is so knowledgeable about his tools, its interesting that you don't know that you can always use 10W40 in a pinch, or for that matter that 2 cycle oil is available at literally EVERY gas station I've ever seen. That "mix" as you put it, is simply oil and detergent. It lubricates and clears carbon deposits in the bottom end of the engine (bottom end in a 2 cycle engine being everything below the piston) and makes sure you have rod bearings when you are done cutting.
If you were on your way home, and a fallen tree was blocking your path, and you had NO other way to get through, you could siphon gas from your tank, and drizzle a bit of oil from your oilpan into the tank on a saw, and it would run just fine.
AftermathOutdoors at that point wouldn’t it be simpler just to hook a chain to the tree and give it a yank
Not the point if you could give it a yank plus it may be too big so. Good point good sir
I think you need to put the handle of the hatchet through the opening in the bottom
Anyone know where to find designated bag ID tags like the ones in the vid for water, first aide, and so on?
Try Amazon or eBay.
Thanks Ed! After doing some further reading and digging, I'm fairly certain that the tags are made from dog/pet ID tags. A lot of Wal-Marts have a machine that do the engraving. Just add whatever title you want.
Thanks for the great video tips! I've been cutting wood since 1980 and I've never seen those fine mesh goggles; what a great idea! I hate using safety glasses for the reason that you mentioned; they always fog up very quickly and I've tried to solve the problem with all sorts of liquids, ventilation holes etc, etc to no avail. A tip I picked up very early from an old logger is to put some dayglow tape bands around the shaft of your scrench and other tools to make it easier to spot them when dropped or misplaced on the ground etc. I just cut up strips from off an old road safety flag and attach them to my tools with contact cement; it works a treat. The first aid kit is an absolute must whether you are working alone or with others. I throw a couple of old towels in the back of my ute (pickup) for emergency bandages just in case. I've never had to use them and I hope the day never comes when I do but you just never know.
I also thought the tip for using an old splitting maul was a good one. I was taught NEVER to use an axe poll to drive wedges as it can distort the eye of the head. I ignored this advice once when I'd forgotten my wedges and actually cracked the rear of the axe head! Ouch! (it was an old Kelly). Thanks again for all the great info.
are you from australia? (ute, haha)
& yeah, when i was younger i remember ruining an axe because it wasn't tempered for hammering. only made that mistake once!
The one thing I would ass to that is a 19mm socket on a small bar. I find that as the Stihl saws get older that the bar nuts wont come undone easily with the bar wrench. Interesting to see the different ways of doing things in the USA verses here in the UK.
It's posted on my facebook page.
Just discovered your channel, great stuff !!
Thanks for taking the time. I hail from Vermont and the Adirondacks.
Since we're sharing, I use a military web-belt as my 'logging belt".
Canteen; "Ditty bag" for bug dope, grease gun, file guide, spares, flagging, etc.: Small 1st aid kit (bigger kit is kept in 50 cal. ammo can on the landing);
Fellers pouch with wedges, scrench, file, & I keep a "parts cleaning brush" tucked in to clean around the fuel & oil filler plugs & bar adjustment screw;
Carpenters hammer holster holds my hatchet.
One thing I didn't see in your kit is a pulp hook, I find them very handy on any log job. Love your logo "branded" on the tools, AND your labels .....
Where do you get them ?
Thanks again, Chip
very nice kit. I really like how you label every thing
Glad you talked about lanyards. Lots of people who have compasses that came with a red or black lanyard may be happy to find this out. Is your lanyard a bit short? That's because it is not for your neck. It is for tying the compass to you via a button hole, grommet, etc. When working in the woods we tie several items of small equipment to our vest, shirt or coat. Then we don't lose them, but they remain handy. In a later video Cody talks about a favorite knife he lost (actually there have been several.) So Mrs W replaced this one. He took the clip off and puts it in his pocket. It just shows how easy it is to loose things while working in the woods.
I use Stihl files and have found them to be excellent. They come in a 4 pack for about $4. Stihl saws do not use the same plugs. They have a big one and a small one, both Bosch. Most big Stihl saws do use a BPMR7A, but some of the newer saws use a CMR6H. I keep both in my shop.
Tissue, a swiss army knife with tweezers,
On the subject of pickaroons, I've never had one but when I fell small trees and bushes and things with my trail boss I usually put them in the beard in between the blade and handle to drag them out of the woods, it isn't perfect but it works but a pickaroon would be better and be able to do more
Wranglerstar, do you know where to find those gas cans? I've looked all over, all I can find are newer ones and the Husqvarna brand one and none of them are sold in my area.
Wouldn't scraps of leather in the hatchet holster solve the problem
