Hand sanitizer works great as well, highly flammable and great even in winter/wet

Very valuable point sir!..Don't forget about your eye protection, lots of folks do.

Thanks for the tip.

Not kidding! I know someone who bought an expensive and massive amount of so called premium outdoor gear. He brought it to one of our „off time for dads camping weekend“ and he wasn’t even able to remove all packaging on his own as he didn’t even own a SAK. He bought one of those multitools which come in those plastic packages that you can’t open without using another tool. He had so many and expensive items but as he didn’t spend a single minute into thinking about useful gear, he was like lost even owning all that stuff.

@@starfox-germany During my reserves time we needed to boil water to heat the rations as they were boil in the bag kits over a hexamine stove. The matches were often brittle so I carried a lighter (good old Bic & Swiss Army Knife in my shirt pockets). These are the 2 most instant use items needed by any military personnel. Oh we had a FRED too - a Field Ration Eating Device. Just like A USA P38 but with a small spoon added - but we moved away to probably the best quality rations spoon since as any soldier just wants to eat & not worry about a tiny spoon.

Appreciate it!

Yep new lid. Love it!

It does

Glad I could help’

You ever used the 5.11 Rush 12 by any chance? Would be interested in some opinion regarding those two in comparison.

@@starfox-germany I have not, but I probably would've picked it up over in their recent sale if I didn't already have this one. From the videos I've seen on it, it looks much higher quality. The storage organizers also look more thought out. There's an excessive amount of pen slots in the admin panel of the velox. They're all fairly tight, and I find the pockets to be a bit too short for longer pens/pencils. Other than that I like the rest of the compartments even if they're fairly simplistic. The weather did clear up, and I took it hiking through some overgrown nature trail in the swamp. The mesh straps, and grooved backplate definitely helped with the heat. Initially I thought it might be uncomfortable, but I didn't have a problem with it in practice. I only had it loaded up to around 12lbs though. If you need something now the 3v gear is good for the money, but if you can wait for a sale on the rush 12 it'd be a great buy. Unless you want to buy it full price, but I've noticed they have a surprising amount of sales. I've picked up several of their pants all on sale (love the quest pant). One more thing to note, just looking at the rush 12 it does look like it's more durable, but less breathable, if that's a major concern. Hope my ramblings can help.

@@Roman-ji7iu Well I do have the Rush 12 and actually I really like it. Its just that I would like it to have laser cut molle instead. So I thought that maybe this bag would be a good replacement. But from what I've seen so far the 5.11 seems to be a better fit for me. Thanks for your reply.

@@starfox-germany That's the one thing I forgot to mention. The Molle isn't consistent on the bag. I don't mind too much, but that's only because I don't have any Molle pouches yet.

An axe will never, ever be obsolete...

@@jerrythebaum4388 - then carry one, it's your back and your legs. I carry a 240mm folding saw and a Mora Companion, both together not half the weight of my small hatchet, and never experienced a situation I had to regret my decision. Maybe a Canadian winter hike could cause me to think about again ;-))

Thank you

asically, the idea behind the backward American flag on Army uniforms is to make it look as though the flag is flying in the breeze as the person wearing it moves forward. During the Civil War, both mounted cavalry and infantry units would designate a standard bearer, who carried the flag into battle.

@@ThePreparedWanderer Ah ok thankyou very much.

Thats your opinion. And it sounds like you haven't used a hawk much or understand how it's been used historically. For small wood processing its a fine tool in the right hands.

@@ThePreparedWanderer Totally agree, love a tomahawk!

Bullshit

Interesting response. I meant no disrespect. I was just making an observation.

It’s a good video by the way and I appreciate you making it. I was just saying it always looks like stuff is new and unused. And it’s not just this one. It’s pretty much every channel I watch.

I use all my gear and have for years. I take care of my stuff. I am not rolling around in the dirt like and idiot. It amazes me how people just post random comments without knowing anything. They make assumptions based on a video. I've been doing this kind of shit my whole life.

Cool deal. A respectful and informative response is better. I didn’t say anything out of line or derogatory towards the video. Again…just making an observation about the gear in the many videos on many different channels appearing to be unused. No reason to get ill over it. Take care.

I’ve been told that before. Lol
