@freakymondaysaturday Hey, we actually were about a 100 feet from a frozen lake, but none of us are really big ice fishers. We were only really there for an overnight, so we decided to focus on building the shelter and gathering the wood for the night. Maybe sometime in the future we'll give it a try though. Thanks for watching!
@solobackpacking I'm with you, I don't like the Primus at all, Its loud, dirty, heavy and clogs all the time. I brought it out because we were towing sleds so i packed heavy and I thought it'd be fun to mess around with. I haven't used it in years. Jason has not had a single problem with the MSR whisper light though and he's been using it for over 10 years, no clogs. It takes a little more time, and it's heavy, but it does get the job done. I love my feather weight canister stove the best.
@solobackpacking most pumps use leather as a seal in the pump.all you have to do if it isn't working normally is oil it.the issue usually arises due to people not maintaining their gear.I have a brunton optimus and have used it on three continents with everything from jp4 jet fuel,kerosene,mo gas,white gas, and even isopropyl alcohol.They are a little messy ,weigh more but are better in cold weather than a propane canister.
@djayer5925 Right you are djay. If I were going high altitude or into extreme cold without someone who packs a liquid fuel stove, I would buy another one for sure. They really shine when the temperature starts to drop.
@conleytgn Good to meet a fellow knife collector. I make mine out of Railroad or Leaf Springs. You can see me working by a forge on KnivesByHand website
@frankgon4 That's sweet! I'd love to give it a try! I've always thought it might be cool to try making my own blade at some point. I'll check out your site.
also, i would suggest you not getting the blade in the dirt like at 4:00. the edge will last longer if you put a piece of wood under the log you're splitting.
Next time, pay more attention to the campfire breakfast cooking...Thanks in advance!

Get rid of that Primus crap.
The MSR whisper isn't all that great either.
Prone to clogs and pump failure.
I also use a propane Snowpeak stove now.
Keep it simple.
As for cold weather, just put a wind screen around the canister.
Monitor for possible over heating.

@conleytgn
Most people experience pump failure.
MSR, believe it or not even uses a piece of leather as part of the pump mechanism.
The plastic is cheap also.

Nice Blade. I use a Carbon Steel Khukuri Knife.

@frankgon4 Carbon steel is the way to go. I've got a Randal's Rtak II by Ontario now too. I haven't had a chance to use it yet though.

what kind of knife is that???????????

That is a Cold Steel Trailmaster. High carbon steel though so it'll rust if you aren't careful.
