Craig. Great to see you posting a video again. What a cracking view!

It worked. Thank you!

Great to have you back.

Cracking advice nice video bizarrely I was where you we’re standing last Wednesday when I walked up Elidir Fawr from nant Peris I visited carnedd y filiast on route brilliant ATB

Glad you’re back Bud!

Hi Craig! It is great to hear your voice again! It's been a while! I hope life has been treating you well! All the best from California 💛

Hi Craig, Welcome back and thank you for sharing. HP🤟

Tested newly bought Ohuhu stove today using your twig loading tip. Worked great, thank you much, and had boiling water for 4 servings of freeze dried food in under 4 minutes. Just need more practice getting fire started: paper did not work, had no birch bark, used dripping candle instead. Will have to research small, light fire starters.

Good explanation, but you forgot something important. When you use the mirror compass you do it the right way with the mirror about 45°, but you forgot to align the centerline in the mirror over the center of the compass. So you can eliminated som parallax errors and augmented the accuracy of the measurement.

One night walking my dog in our local park I used the stars (Southern Cross) to orient myself and find my way home. This is in a park I walk every day. Basically I had chased the dog chasing some kangaroos and found myself in a vale or dip I hadn't ever been in before. The Southern Cross allowed me to orient myself and know which direction to head in to get to somewhere I could see my way home from. Simple but effective.

As someone who was on ce 164kg and is now at 140kg and dropping... you feel the difference when you're not carrying those extra kilos around as fat.

I did this two trips back and was horrified how much stuff I took but never used! All the 'just in case' stuff which on an overnighter I didn't need and didn't use.

Hi craig i use wood pellets pack well light weights and in wet weather indispenseable oncie it going the wood will soon ignite onwood pellets😂

I dig that time crib card. I went straight to shaven raspberry.

❤

Were you in the military?👍👍

Crap

Black Labrador retriever girls are the best.

I’m already carrying an extra 40 lbs of “kit” around by waist!

I love these stoves. Informative and clearly explained video , which is useful for those viewers who don't have English as a first laguage.

Well, my Alpkit Myti mug 650 does have embossed quantity markings on side. Anyways, with pouch meals just guestimate...... add more water if required.

Update on the mora gar please 🙏

I like this idea for just having a small fire 🔥 near a small tent or perhaps near a stream while fishing or on a frozen lake in an ice shanty. Just to keep your hands warm.

That material is not innovative just like goretex isn't. It is just a standard 2.5 layer raincoat with a fleese Liner. Which obviously performs about the same as a gortex based solution in some cercomdtances except that sometimes but not always the gortex might be able to evacuate swead faster. On the other side you have something like a parmo which has a very different set of performance charatarisics. Where it will be both dry and breadable under nearly alll circumstances, but only if you're body is hot and the environment is cold.

Oh my how I've missed my old friend, I'm so happy to see you happy and well ❤

Also, when properly navigating out in the wilds, you should also compare feature that we see with features marked on the map. Often we can 'catch' our mistakes by seeing something in the real world and wonder if we should have seen it, and how was it indicated in the map and why hadn't we noticed. Or vice versa. It's quite common when in a car looking at a high resolution map, you pass features (e.g.lane ends) and don't see them, and then miscount where the third lane on the left actually is, and like wise you hadn't noticed a lone barn on the map but it's obvious across the fields, and by that continuous comparison you realise that you now know that you missed the lane and should turn at the next lane end.

There are two types of escape routes. Those for when you know where you are, and then those when you aren't sure where you are . For the latter case the escape routes should include a measure of ensuring that it's safe, despite the 'lost' aspects. Sometimes the escape route has to be deliberately 'long' to pick up collecting and catching features! Had a case of a colleague ending up with an 8 hour (into the night) exit after being misplaced on the Cairngorms (Moine Mhor)

Why… why… does the water need to reach the first level before utilizing, you’re repeating others - not explaining

Three other uses: 1. You are visiting an area with no bathroom and you really have to go. Insta- shelter and a small shovel or sealable container. We carry an old plastic Folgers coffee can. Right now only used in our van for emergencies, but this bag brings new alternatives. 2. You are out hiking and want shelter from the elements to make yourself a cup of tea. 3. You are neurodivergent and at a public gathering and are feeling way too stimulated and need an instant privacy room.

Good on Findlay for doing the independant set up on your own. Good skills to have. And must have felt like a satisfying accomplishment. 😊👍

In addition, when one looks at the map, 'it' should also be telling you the the 'opposites', such as the 'if you reach the big roundabout you've gone too far' style information. The map should also be used to tell you the those 'collecting features' you don't want, such as reaching a cliff line, or a sudden steeping, or slope falling away to the left [or right]. That 'opposites' part is really useful if you think you are sort of lost, when really you are just slightly misplaced, but are looking for a safe route out given what you know, and the safe collecting features that you can find. (Wind direction is another useful feature if 'lost', as it helps orient you - it rarely shifts 180 degrees in just a fey meters, rather you've just walked in a circle - Crinkle Crags in mist!).

I was wondering why people don't put the sleeping mat under the tent floor. If you have one of these shelters you can wrap it up in that. An advantage of having the mattress under the tent's floor is that it it helps stop puncturing the floor. If the floor fails it keeps it up off the ground and there is less likelihood of water getting in. Just a thought.

I used this same technique. Once the excess is brushed off, within a month or two the powder is barely noticeable.

occlude, perhaps obstruct, but not obscure.

So far I've watched about 6 or 7 of the videos you've done in this series. Thank you! These are extremely valuable! Cheers

20 minues for 1 split second where we can only see half way inside at the air vents on he inner bottom... Does ash block the bottom? would inner air holes be better on the side top & bottom?

I know that it’s been a while, but could you do a video on practicing or brushing up on some Bushcrafting while at a desk job please ?

The instructions on my silicone seam sealer said to apply talc and yours is the only video I've seen where someone has actually done it. I'm guessing it eventually looks better?

Thanks Craig. Great video. Explanation for the tang at the butt of the knife. This is so you can make fire with one hand, if you have one arm injured you can still make fire. If the knife is placed at the rear of your knee joint and then kneel down, the knife is held firmly with the butt poking out for you to strike against with your good arm.

I have been putting my Kymit half pad inside my sleeping bag. It stays put, but it’s a bit of a trick to get in position as where you want it head and shoulders wise. I also use a silk liner that I slip into then slip into my bag. It has a pillow case build in, so a sweater folded up works great as a pillow.

Since then have you had any issues with the leather sheath? I'm thinking of upgrading the plastic sheath for a leather one but i recently watched a video about it and his had developed a hole at the bottom where the tip was poking through, which doesn't sound like great news to me. Unless he just got a lemon or has abused it in some way?

Love mine. Got the stainless and carbon and both seem as capable as each other imo. I don't see any need to spend more on a bushcraft knife either. All you'll be paying for is 'pretty' or 'i like to waste my money on impractical luxuries'. It's a tool. And i like the fact you don't have to be all precious with it.

I cut a piece of cordage the desired length of the wood and keep it attached to the stove.

Plot twist, Tryfan is actually a sculpture from an ancient civilization.

Burnt out after just a few uses, so probably look for a better quality

Wtf spawned into ur mouth that u just started chewing there 😂 (17:20)

You talk to much pal

Man, I wish I watched this before trying to cook dinner last night. I'll be trying this again in a couple weeks when I get another free evening in the woods. Thanks for keeping me from throwing my stove into the trash 😂
