Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of my little etsy shop. This video has helped me sell a lot of my stock. I will be working to replenish some of it this weekend, so if you have any special requests please message me through etsy. Thanks again Russ, for the shout out. People love the camo hat!
So many great gifts in here! The Snow Peak I won from you guys (and Stumptown) at Salsa Ride Camp sees daily use at home and at the office. It doesn't pack as small as the Helix I have, but I truly think it makes better coffee. I love my Silca ratchet kit as well. Super handy, especially with the torque tube. Putting an Opinel on my list...
Hurray for the Shockstop Suspension Stem - it's just the best bike thing I ever bought! If you shred a bumpy dirt road with 30kph and wonder why it doesn't beat you up as it should, it just feels like magic!
Wow! Best gift recommendations for the cyclist the has almost everything. Being an espresso fan I'll probably stick with an aero press but I am pour over curious. I haven't worn a cycling cap since the hair-helmet/hair band days of old but an independent designer in the US is making me reconsider this decision. Thank you.. Sending the link to my spouse maybe I can get something besides underwear. :)
What!!! no recommendation to give a membership to Adventure Cyclist Foundation?.....I would have thought that would have been on your list for sure. Love the Note book...
Great vlog. May I suggest a few episodes covering bikes owned by your followers especially bikes you have no access reviewing but share their reviews maybe as a written report with videos and pics which you narrate for us. Just an idea.
Have you ever used or heard of Hex Plus Allen keys? They sound like the bee's knees for tool junkies. I would love to see a review on those from a cyclist. In particular, the following model: Wera Hex Plus WER022210
Love this one. Great for fountain pens too. www.gouletpens.com/products/goulet-notebook-68gsm-tomoe-river-paper-passport-tn-dot-grid?variant=11884651544619
Tools look nice but they are not really mini -- I am still looking for some useful tools which could fit into Hollowtech II axis. Probably a good gift could be Wolftooth chain pliers, I just bought them so I cannot how they will perform in the long run but unchaining works :-). Safety pizza is great!
Bought an Opinel knife on a recent visit to France. While it may be high on the cool factor, it's pretty low on the blade quality factor. I demoted it to a utility knife on my work bench. I guess I expected more with the big reputation.

I actually want or already own 95% of what u posted. nice.
I went riding in the Alps this year and was lucky enough to visit the Opinel museum. Don't leave home without one.
Didnt think id come across a mechanical lead holder review on a cyclist channel. Im a drafter and they are the best. The supplest of pencils!
I’m a pen and pencil nerd :)
I've been using lead holders since the early 1970s. Never knew there was a sharpener in the top. Learn something every day.
@@BryanSarauer Super durable. The leads are a lot thicker than a normal mechanical pencil. The body is metal. Pretty impossible to break.
They also work really well for woodworking. I can make a fine marking and not have to worry about breaking the lead on the wood grain.
Nailed it with the watercolor travel kit for my wayfaring artist daughter.
Bought the Shockstop on your recommendation and couldn't be happier with the stem. Adds a whole new level of supple to an otherwise stiff carbon fork.
Thanks for the ideas, that just like you, are interesting and quirky. I do mean that as a compliment.
I don't even celebrate any of the holidays but I'm hoping for any of these gifts! Great picks.

Awesome!
Bravo! Awesome stuff! Merry Christmas!
Russ! You make me spend money!

All you need to get going. V60 is awesome :D
Try a svord knife if you like opinel. I have the peasants knife and love it, one of my favorites.

Bikes and pens = ❤️
👍
I’ll stick with Blackwings. The Opinel is really good for emergency sharpening though.
I've got SO many positive comments on my safety pizza. There's a very real chance I'm the only person in the state of Wyoming who uses one.

What dot grid journal have you found that fits in that leather bound?

Not a crankset axis, but here's a tool set that fits in your steerer tube: www.oneupcomponents.com/products/edc-tool-system

I think it depends on what you use it for. Ours is mostly for cooking and not very heavy tasks.
Which blade material did you get? They have carbon steel and stainless versions.
Carbon steel. Easy to sharpen. Will patina.
At what point does a mechanical lead holder become a pencil???
