Making Fresh Red Currant Jelly (Step by Step)
How about NOT sawing your lighter, and just use it like forever. I've never used a lighter all up.. and two lighters or 1 lighter and a box of matches takes up less space than the fero rod....
use a mediacal Gigli saw
When I was a kid I filled a magnum condom or whatever there called till it filled the tub 20 gallonish it held didn't pop
Now I have to pretend my latex allergy means I can't drink.
People with latex allergies ☠️
I always liked this knife for the way it looked but i never bought one because of that handle. My harbor freight $8 rambo knife is more durable than that.
It's a survival kit, not a re-population one what did y'all expect??
It works but the water tastes like shit after…..
Lousy material and heat treatment.
I’ve had many of these that were the real deal, they are basically impossible to brake, not sure where you got this one or who made it but the Camillus ones the military issued are tanks. Imo this must be a nock off to break this easily. Dave Canterbury just uploaded a video on military gear to buy before it’s gone and this knife was one of the things he mentioned because he said “I’ve never seen one break” so I’m not alone in this opinion, I kinda hate this knife because it’s hard to sharpen well, but again I’ve never seen one break at the guard ever, in 30+ years of being around this knife in use. Who made yours?
This one was military issued. I am shocked he would have said that since they break all the time at the SERE school where they were used exclusively for many, many years so there is plenty of evidence of it.
@@FollowTheCompassNorth they must have given the contract to someone else in recent years the old pre 1990’s ones were tanks, you never know what contractor they get for $2 less y’a know, the one I grew up with was a nam era Camillus and it was so hard you couldn’t sharpen it with normal stones, I beat the piss out of it being a kid and never broke it despite it being used like a baton crazy person lol. I’d think this accounts for our different experiences, as easy as that tang bent that one wasn’t as hard as nails for sure, the ones I had you might have been able to snap but they definitely wouldn’t bend like that. I’m a knife maker and pretty much agree on the full tang thing, I was just surprised that you had issues with these after my experience with them. I believe the later contract ones were Ontario made or at least they made them and had an nsn number but I never bought one because there’s better knives imo
😂 literally anything to create a spark 🫡
How do you make the cap exactly?
whetstones don’t work on harder modern steels. idk why people don’t understand that.
Survival condom 😂

Katadyn makes a charcoal filter for the Pocket Pro. Buy once cry once with the pocket pro. It’s heavy but the thing is machined like it came out of an aerospace contractors machine shop. It’s a shame the price has gone up so much, I purchased mine for less than 200$ about 10 years ago. It’ll never break but if I lost it I’d buy another.
Corn dogs
Skill issue/user error. I’ve cut 2’+ trees out of rivers with one of these
I'm demonstrating failure points. I also talk about how to NOT break it. Do you think people who professionally crash cars to test them are bad drivers?
Military Grade = Quantity > Quality
Very true.
Les Storud aka Survivorman has said the exact same thing about these and even recommends the same upgrade you did. Proper review sir.
Those knives are notorious pieces of shit. A true pure dogshit item they are.
Zippo
that makes so much more sense
pro tip: don't have kids
I was literally about to say…get a fucking chainsaw chain and some strong cordage. lol. It does only cut one way but fuck of a lot better than shit ass wire
You shouldn't be buying old war knives for survival anyways.
The slack in the crank & cable isn't necessarily from the gantry dropping, its more likely the cable just slacking up after the gantry is clamped. Once the gantry is clamped, the cables have no bearing on the position of the gantry.
I have an idea..... dont bury your knife to the hilt in a hard wood. A "survival knife" is meant for crafting disposable tools and cutting your food. The only thing that knife should be doing is creating more survival tools.. like a sling, spears, spoons, bowls, rope. Back in the day a good knife cost as much as a good rifle and most people cared for them like they were made of gold. Just bring an axe. I bought a 2 bit axe for $5 and can use one side for spliting and the other for fine carving. But i can also bury it in a log and use both hands to drag the wood accross the edge.
I use a Tormek T8 on all my blades but this looks great to have out camping or hiking.
If you’re getting into some of the newer CPM steels you need diamond sharpeners.
This saw was included in Bowen's bug-out kit.
Cut it like it was butter gd
Stick it in a tube sock before filling it
Glock knife 78....
need more cheese
🤔
I thought you might be legit, until you started selling something at the end. Damaging and intentionally breaking products to sell your own for 5x the price is pretty slimy.
It's an honest recommendation and the new product isn't even mine. Get gear that works not fragile garage. It's common sense. Nothing slimy about common sense and honest recommendations bud.
They sell a 3 pack of different grits that I've had in my back pocket for years with a chunk of belt leather. Don't claim to whittle hairs, but I regularly shave my face to prove the edge is ready.
Dont say superior. Superior is a diamond stone. Those are just a well marketed pocket version. If you looked under a microscope, that edge would be miles shittier than a diamond stone or even a whetstone does.
You're right but ordering me to not say superior makes me not want to be receptive to your point.
@@FollowTheCompassNorth feel free. You do you g. Just know ima make fun of u for saying it is all 😂
I only wonder how long until the diamonds fall out of the sharpener and it doesn't work anymore
I thought that was to avoid having unprotected s*# with a bigfoot😮
Military grade just means good enough
If you do happen to have one of these wire sawz ,use a tree brand bent to fasten the saw like a bow 💪💪💪
..😂😂😂.. what you stab..? tank..?? 😂😂😂.. that knife only used to stabbed human.. fuck you..
It isn't a combat knife
Also anti spiked proteins..
I don't believe you have ever used this saw.I have three silky saws,I threw them in the garbage!
I have several videos from me using them in field conditions... It was great. Why would you throw money away like that? Lmao
What's the second one called you picked up
Duuuuude 🥹
I'm glad you like it! It's not super practical but it feels pretty great to have a space to enjoy
@@FollowTheCompassNorth couldn't be any better.... With the history alone makes so much more amazing.....just wait until ur sitting back with ur morning coffee reflecting on all that...turning out beautiful brother... Been looking into property in the u.p.... Just a pipe dream, but looks amazing up there
I've watched this 3 times since you posted. Good info, weird algorithm
Huh, that's weird. UA-cam is control of that nonsense.
I'm missing the UP- mainly because of the Finnish culture. The good thing, I joined a Finnish folk dance troupe this evening. Good job on the hard work. You guys work quickly and effectively, all things considered !
I recently worked with the Finns and it felt a lot like being home. I hope you like the folk dancing!
Awwwwe we just wanna help....
It was adorable!
