I do. Mike about that thing you 'coat' your pancakes with, Man ,you gotta be hungry to eat that, over here , we call that " sirop de poteau" , in English that would translate to "telephone pole juice" , you have to taste our Maple-syrup produced over here , it tastes like heaven by comparison.

Yes..@Workshop Wilderness Adventure cracks me up..the Dildo Baggins comment had me LOL at the doggo park.😂

I'm a fan of it!

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoy the vids.

Hi Mike, you do realize that Big Foot ate that banana that you dropped, while you were asleep that night... But seriously, do you have any video on your hood vents?

@@currysmith9241 it was actually gone in the morning. He probably navy sealed his way through the lake and took it while I was sleeping. I haven't got any videos on the hood vents. I installed them pre channel about 7 years ago.

I would love to get her in more videos. I guess when we travel again and I film 🎥 we will all be together again.

Thanks for the comment, it's really nice to hear that it all resonates with you and that you enjoy the journey. I really enjoy these outings with the camera or without. It's all pretty organic to film because its just what I'm doing anyway. The drone has helped with that because I don't need to get out the jeep and setup long distances laborious shots that make it feel staged for me. I would like to film some longer excursions but I find it so hard to be away from my 3 year old right now. I guess we will all be travelling together shortly so that will be a fun thing to document. The cooking platform is called a muurikka 48cm. It's a traditional swedish outdoor cooking platform that is generally used on a fire. I've modified mine a bit for stove use. I've never enjoyed cooking much but I really enjoy cooking on the muurikka. Thanks again for the comment and for watching 👀 🙂

Appreciate the comment and for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Nice project by the sounds of it, it will certainly be more reliable than my wagon haha 😄 we're just about to go on another adventure so hopefully you will enjoy the video

It was her fault... she couldn't handle me. Thanks for watching, I'm enjoying the drone for filming, it's like having a little robot taking all the distant shots

Thanks mate, seems to be running well at the moment. I just need a pipe beader so I stop blowing charge hoses..

Its good stuff, better and cheaper than what is sold here

I really need to learn tig. I was telling myself that last night. I've got all the gear, just need a bottle of argon.

Thanks for watching for al these years!

Seems nice but the grass is always greener - perhaps do an exchange visit but the fishing isn't as good where you are!

We can swap sometime for a while. Its nice here but long winters and flies everywhere in the summer.

My wife's mom was born. But raised in the United States.

I honestly make too many I think!

I extended many an invite. We lost contact a while ago. I'm sure he's doing well but I think coming here is off the radar.

He's all loved up now with Fern ❤️ they make a great couple tbh 💑😂

@@Woodlandbill yeah I saw, great for them ❤️ best wishes

Thank you. I must work on it every week haha. Probably not a good thing. Its a 1999 sport, pretty standard in the UK as far as cherokees go.

As for the fly fishing, just keep practicing at every moment you get, I'm not a fly fisherman, my specialty is more float fishing as I originally started out in the old country ( England ) and basically stayed with it, I normally fish four to five times a week, depending on weather and how I feel at the time. Keep it up and stick with it. It will eventually become second nature.

Thanks for the comment and for watching! Glad you enjoy the videos. 4runners are awesome, I would love one of those along side the XJ. Have an fantastic trip, safe travels

Thanks for the encouragement, I really enjoy it. I do also like spinning and like yourself started out in the shire float finishing.

I'm sure some must think that. I'm surprised someone hasn't asked what that black shape was in the binoculars. It was gone the next time I looked.

Yeah your absolutely right. I forgot it like a total dumb ass. It's essential.

​@@WorkshoptoWilderness Indeed. I used to be bolder before I had a kid about going out without one. I'm usually out on my paddle board fishing if I'm on the water. It's hard to justify going out without one if I'm telling her she has to wear one.

Glad midsommer!

I'm pretty happy with it these days. Still a never ending project, it just ate a water pump and blew a charge pipe... 😑

@@WorkshoptoWilderness my wife asked when mine will be finished. I said never, there’s always going to be something, lol.

@@officialWWM hahaha best to be honest right

Nice I will look them up! Thanks 👍

I'm pretty sure that was him over the other side of the lake. The flies were savage mate. I had a fair bit of repellant on. Im using this natural oil stuff with no deet or other shit. Feels better to have on but it stinks and I have to wipe myself down with wet wipes (or wash) before bed because its overwhelming. Thanks for watching!

Haha yeah that's something that's become a bit automated while I'm making films. It's strange in some way but I guess I think very visually when I'm filming but yet I don't at all when I go out without the camera..

Yeah that's basically the way I roll. It keeps things moving in the right direction

Thanks for subscribing, again. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

The caps are coming soon hopefully. I will be sure to post something up when they are are. They are made locally so the quality is decent. Thanks for the comment and for watching

I think he roofied my last tea for the night... that's what I tell myself. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂

Thanks for following for so long! Really appreciate it. I did do one when I first bought it and then removed it because I felt like I had no time in it. I am planning on doing another one pretty soon given I have had it for a while now. The Schenkstroop is pretty addictive.. I....I.... need more.....

Before he started this channel, Mike had a bushcraft channel (which you can still watch). He definitely knows how to handle himself in the woods.

I will check him out! I think people are always my concern and most of the places I go aren't really busy places. I think people just think I'm a tourist and would avoid me. I've been approached before mainly because they are interested in the jeep. I reply in Swedish as best I can even if they start the conversation in English. I've not had any bad encounters yet.

@@JackFalltrades I know i ve been watching Mikes vids many years now and i was really sad when he stopped them now that he is making videos of this content im glad to see them again!

@@WorkshoptoWilderness Until Bigfoot has his way with you. 😳

@@ChrisDinGR Excellent. Me too. 😊

Private beach would be boomed off like all Private areas. Who's coming more often "bro"?

I am coming atleast twise a week. If i am at a privat area, it may be more. I like to be on my own, like you, actually, i prefer it.

I'm kind of tired of metal heims. They hate shock load and corrigation. If this new one I've bought is dead in another six months then I will try something else. What are the rebuild rubber ones?

Appreciate you watching and glad you like them. Ah nice, sounds like a good reason to get the XJ field ready again. I don't have much in the way of self-defense. I can't carry a firearm here unless I obtain a hunting licence, and I'm hunting. My firearms licence is in the uk, and soon to expire, unfortunately. I carry a kind of self-defense spray that you can use on bears and humans if you must. I don't normally feel too vulnerable out here, but there have been some odd encounters and places that I've got bad vibes from and bailed.

I spliced its tiny brain with a Nokia 3310 which allowed me to program simple commands using the Snake 2 platform. Thanks for watching and the comment!

I didn't really notice it. I normally wipe things down but now you have mentioned it I will either extend the distance of the arms or build a shield.

Its possible pump advancement or something just getting picked up by the mic. These diesels are quite loud and nocky in general. I can smooth the engine right out by retarding the pump and delaying injection but you loose all the top end power and egt's sky rocket.

Its a muurikka cast iron pan that comes with three small legs designed to be used on a fire. I've welded some hooks under it to hang an msr whisperlite universal. It can be detected for open fire use. Its can be a bit gas hungry and its heavy but its easy to use and clean.

@@WorkshoptoWilderness Cheers for getting back to me Mike. I have a whisperlight so I may have a look at cobbling something together. It's an inspired thing.

I would start to back off the accelerator peddle at 620c. EGT is only an indicator and I imagine that the combustion temps are much higher. This isnt a problem for a while but if you ran it like this on load with 650c plus temps consistently you would melt a piston. There are other factors at play though like fresh air getting rammed in by the turbo, oil lubrication and the surrounding material conducting the heat from the pistons. Also the explosion isnt touching the piston crown. But its safe to say that with a cast alloy piston you shouldn't run the engine at 620c plus for extended periods of time, changing down gear will drop these temps immediately or backing off the peddle.

I since fixed the cold air fan which now brings in some cool air. No air-conditioning though unfortunately..

@@WorkshoptoWilderness 😳 I'm too spoiled for that! But then, normal outside temps here in the summer are 32° to 35°C. Inside the car would be unbearable

@@JackFalltrades ah yeah wow that would be brutal. I'm looking into aftermarket Aircon at the moment

Hey, they don't seem to have any issues with it but then mine isn't the only moded 4wd rolling around. I imported mine modded in 2019 although it had no tent and winch at that point. Are you worried about getting one and modding it? Shouldn't be an issue unless you put a bigger engine in or change the braking system.

@@WorkshoptoWilderness thanks for the quick answer! I just know that they are abit weird in Stockholm atleast. Had some issues with my impreza and evo 5, those where not original and if i got the wrong guy they questioned everything 🤣 Loving your xj tho and I want to do something like it since I do flyfish and hike alot during the summer 😁

I've had issues with my turbo stuff. But the guy who imported the jeep is the head of bilbesikning and I explained why I did it and he thought it was a good idea and made a note of it. Hopefully it will be alright for the coming years but who knows. I wouldn't hesitate to get one and mod it. I know a couple of guys who modded xjs in Stockholm and they seem to be okay. I guess its who you get isn't it. Thanks for watching and let me know if your up this way!

Its a Wildland Desert Crusier 140. Sadly it doesn't come with a pee bottle but you can improvise one 😏
