You do not need to spend stupid money on a tent. I bought a cheap tent some 30 yrs ago and it didn't have today's tech and it still works. Crap poles etc. but was always great to sleep in. Any tent today from a place like MW will give you a good night's sleep. I agree on getting better pegs, to me pegs are like pedals on expensive bicycles - you get your own.

Another fun adventurous video Clint! Waters offered some helpful rapids. Scary moment was the low bridge. Highlights include the make shift head covering, Dorito’s and sandwich lunch and the jumping frog. Coolest moment is the multi-level interstate directly above the serene appearance of the waterway and nature. Really enjoyed.

I use the metal tabs when camping the majority of the time but didn’t in this video so I could demonstrate the knot. Taut line might come in handy if those tabs broke or if you needed to tie on an extra guy line.

Pro tip: connect it to your PFD with a carabiner so you can adjust tension left or right, using your feet against foot stops or the sides, and your hands holding the paddle like a rudder, you can actually sail with what you have ;)

Why on earth would you baton such a small log anyway? And why not at 90deg angle like one is supposed to do with all folders? Lastly, why baton in the first place?
@ExploreYourLand2 ай бұрын
Just wanted to see if the knife could do it. Good call on the 90 degree angle, definitely should have done that instead 👍🏼
@dennisleighton28122 ай бұрын
@@ExploreYourLand Don't get me wrong, I love that knife, but I'm not in favour of batoning when used as a standard procedure. Under exceptional circumstances yes, but there are much better alternatives, such as using bigger more robust tools or wedges. Of course, my main question always is "Why?" Generally, there's usually more "small wood" lying around than thick logs! It's like using your knife spine to create sparks from a ferro rod and saying it is an indispensable feature of a good knife. One could use so many other items to do that! Thanks for replying. Much appreciated.
