Klättermusen is neither German, nor Austrian, but a Swedish brand. And yes, the direct translation would be "climbing mouse". The hatchet, from FISKARS, is a Finnish brand.
I reckon the most sustainable outdoor gear is army surplus since it's already been manufactured and used. It's half the price of equivalent civvie gear in 'as new' condition. Much cheaper if you don't mind some obvious wear. There's always options in browns or greens if like me you don't like cammo. My picks are; Austrian army goretex waterproofs, Dutch army softshell fleece and British army base layers.
@@jackmorris4951I've shopped at a fair few but my two favourites are 'Surplus and Outdoors' and 'Forces uniform and kit' FU&K has a dedicated 'distressed' range where you can get some very good deals if you don't mind what it looks like but I usually go for 'Grade 1' since it's still pretty cheap. Just remember that military gear always prioritises toughness over low bulk and weight. It doesn't really matter with clothes but sleeping bags/mats, tents and backpacks are big and heavy Vs quality civvie gear. No brand Chinese gear or cheap high street crap has it's place if you know exactly what you need from an item eg The £5 CCF sleep mat from 'The Range' (put it under your decent mat) or the BRS-3000t gas stove (boiling water only). It's easy to become a gear nerd lol.
well I wrote you a long detailed reply but it got deleted because I used the word cr@p in it. Thanks TH-cam. Basically my two favourites are 'Forces uniform and kit' & 'Surplus and Outdoors'
I heard from an insider that Patagonia has refused to go transparent about their carbon dioxide foot print and they don't meet some kind of standard or something. Since then I don't praise the brand so much about what they do like I used to. I just thought.. okay they are business after all.. I'm just saying. I have no problem anyone using brands that fit their circumstances and I still do love their 'mend your things and use them for your life' narrative so much... But are there that many people tell you about what you wear is ethical or unethical?? I'm surprised how people on the internet wouldn't let one thing go. hmmm.. OH GREAT VIDEO. I design menswear and outdoorsy items too but I haven't seen the color schemes you are wearing so often so it was refreshing ! (It's very Irish color scheme I thought...😅and it suit you so well ! I love it. )
I love the way you use your clothes :) By the way... they always encourage you to spend in tricky ways (like shopping for new things) :) even if it´s that NEW ethically sourced T-shirt. So, i´m all for it here - i love your channel and content! 🧡
Hey Caoilté 👋 Absolutely LOVE your vids. Really not sure why people feel they have the "right" to come down on ppl from afar and while asking no questions/understanding nothing about you 🤔 Ppl, eh? LOVE what you are doing, I get a LOT out of what you have to say and the way you think. SUPER grateful 🙏 Anyhoo, off for a walk. Keep being you, man 💚👊
Great information, thank you for sharing! I’d like to see what tent you end up with; My partner and I have been thinking about getting a tent and would certainly appreciate an honest opinion. Also looking forward to all future videos! Also also, I don’t think your videos are too long; I think the 20 to 30 minute range is perfect. 🤘
I hadn't ever heard of the electric but bite gadget. Living here in NY that would be an incredibly useful tool (also for when I disappear into the woods as I do a few times a year). Thank you.
Columbian Hayfever really do be a nightmare 👀 (jokes) nah man love the video and love how passionate you are about brands, I think that’s unbelievable 👌🏻 keep up the class videos mate
Great video! Living in the contradictions of capitalism is exhausting. Corporations aren't going to save us, we shouldn't be putting so much stock in being perfect consumers in terms of brands (targeted boycotts aside). What we are much more able to do is focus on the things we can control like reducing our consumption and overall impact, recycling and buying used and recycled items, and sharing/community programs.
Wicked content, super humble and honest, shame you didn’t have much to say about fiskars but love the content none the less, would be keen to see other cheap/diy/modified equipment in your possession!
The problem i personally have with Patagonia is that a very big group of people who wear it are just people with money who are the opposite of good for the environment. Techbro vibes. Bit like a wearable Tesla. And that's such a shame and i feel like it's something that needs to be addressed by the "real" users. I also feel that's the main reason why it's so ridiculously expensive, because it is used as a wealth signifier by people who when it really came down to it don't care about the environment, and sit in an office most of the time. Same problem i see with many workwear brands. But yeah, that's just my point of view on it, and i live in the Netherlands, can't speak for other places ofc.
And obviously the brand can't vet everyone (and i honestly don't think we would want that as a society) but they surely can see the trend and react to it. Idk, make it uncool for posers to wear Patagonia or something. I don't hold it against them that some people wear it to look "green" but it's their image, their believability. People don't see the factories, designers and stuff. They see the customers. If they become a meme because of this it can have bad impact on them i think. And if they have done something against that that would be cool!
You’re my type of lad! Thanks for the videos, inspiring me to keep creating and striving for a better life. Love the gear too. Makes me wanna make similar videos

Using gear that you have (or receive) is more ethical than not using it and buying ethical gear instead ;)
I love the minimalist nature
My kiddos love to listen to to you man.
We live in a cabin in the woods I built.
If you are ever in the North of Scotland look us up man.
19:11 this whole point is amazing.
Gotta say, this channel has to blow up! Loving the content
The jacket is the North Face Transverse DryVent Jacket, in Fir Green it seems :)

that sounds like a fantastic option mate, do you know any websites that are good to look on for army surplus gear? cheers

Nice jacket my man.
Camera equipment ramble next please :D
Also I like to longfrom videos here, keep em comming.
Can You say a few words about recording gear and accesories?
Would love a camera equipment video!
Thank you! 🙂
You’re my type of lad! Thanks for the videos, inspiring me to keep creating and striving for a better life. Love the gear too. Makes me wanna make similar videos
Anybody know what brand of bug-bite zapper that is? Can't seem to find one that small anywhere.
Most of Patagonia's environment claims are propably all marketing BS. (from most of the other big brands, too)
Just saying 👊🏽
Dude take your sandals to the cobbler and have them fixed
Would argue that fjallraven is more ethical than patagonia. Fjallraven are the closest to removing all plastics from their products afaik
I think next step you should does buy star link😅
💯

Take shrooms
f""king honesty 🤙

I love your videos but they’re a bit too long i like maybe some cuts they can still be long! Anyway keep going:)
Agree
Just wondering if you’d consider yourself a minimalist? 😊
Tell us you want a brand deal badly without telling us you want a brand deal
