I'd like to see you post more videos on this subject as your experience and knowledge increases. It's something I find really interesting as an alternative to bringing a tent.

@LoveRise Actually, someone has made one already. However, since I posted that comment, I've discovered Ribz, which work better for me than the vest. They carry enough stuff to enable me to keep my mid sized backpack, instead of going to a larger one. And for dayhikes, they carry all the emerg...

Another thing to consider is you don't have to ride a Xootr agressively. Even light, easy peddling will get you going 2 to 3 times as fast as walking. I've commuted to work on mine several times (about 8.5 miles), and didn't have to work hard to get there relatively quickly.

Nice to see an outdoor video that DOESN'T use thrash metal as background music for a change. I'm not slamming metal, I just like the change. I also like the lack of unnecessary dialogue. Loved the music, and the video. As a knife nut who has recently discovered Barkies, I have a Bravo 1, a Nort...

I have both, and I pretty much agree with your conclusions. I would recommend you get the sleeve for the sawvivor. It does a good job protecting the items in your pack from the sharp surfaces of the saw. I also think it's a good idea to carry both, as you stated. The Baco whips out quickly, does ...

@thetommy1903 I thought the same thing before I bought the product. I tried outifitting a vest, but discovered the biggest pockets interfered with my pack's waist belt. The Ribz allow you to adjust their location to put them exactly where you want them. And they really hold a lot, especially in o...

I just got my Ribz, based on your video, and Cr0cket20's. The capacity of these things is amazing. It's one of those things you would think someone would have developed decades ago. Anyway, I'm very excited about taking them out on my next trip. They've answered a critical need for me. Thanks aga...

@PHARRAOH Actually, I already have the Integral Designs 8x5 tarp, which is why I've been trying to find a practical setup to use it with, which was displayed in this video. I've also purchased a Gearpods small tarp (6.5 x 4.5) to use as a rain fly on this setup, in case of rain. Both pack down ri...

I've enjoyed this series about the Kelly Kettle. I like how you made several videos pertaining to all the questions people might have about the usage of this unit. You certainly did a great job of approaching it from as many angles as you could. I had lots of questions, but you've pretty much ans...

Advo or not, this could've gone on for another 10 minutes and I would have enjoyed it.

@CatcherInTheFry I totally agree. You have to wade through countless survival kit reviews before you can actually find the one or two guys that actually show this stuff being used in the bush. I've been frustrated with all the "tabletop" survival kit reviews. This one was great.

@NaturalBushcraft Sorry about that, partner. I did a doubletake to make sure, and I still got it wrong. I'm recovering from heart bypass surgery, and I've been spending lots of time reviewing your videos, so you would think by now I'd be able to tell you two apart.

hillarious.

@Equip2Endure hillarious.

@dunfamalb I just looked on the Duluth Pack website, and the kit is $10.00. It also comes with a plastic bag to store any unused items, and a book of matches. Not all the items have to used at once, since you could start a fire with only one or two of the components pretty easily. But in case of...

For anyone concerned: Like a lot of things these days, some of these magnesium bars are now made in China, and the quality varies a lot. To make sure you purchase a good one, the original is made by the Doan company, which is why they're often referred to as "Doan's Bars." Doan still makes theirs...

What do you do about water filtration/purification, do you boil all the water you get from streams, or do you take water purification tabs, or what? Great video.

@liamnut1 Believe what you want. History speaks for itself. Not only that, but you need to learn how to spell, which indicates we've learned to use your own language better than you. But keep trolling, if it makes you feel better.

I hear you, I hear you, I hear you. 100 percent agreement with everything you say about the Mora knives. I just gave a friend my Clipper MG, and he was thrilled. I introduced him to the Mora knife on our last backpacking trip, and he fell in love with it. I have a Companion MG on order from Ben's...

As a fan of the Clipper, I was looking on Ben's Backwoods and noticed they don't have it listed anymore. I was wondering if the Companion was a suitable replacement when I found your video. You have answered all my questions about this knife, plus a couple of extra surprises (like the tang length...

One more thing. Consider writing out a loose script or outline of what you're going to say. Practice it a few times, and note the time it takes to say what you want to say. That way you won't find yourself repeating what you've already said, or trying to think of what to say next.

You mentioned something in your video that I would love to see, especially with someone of your expertise. I have found no videos of people actually using their survival kits in the wild. If they exist, I sure can't find them. I would love to see a video of you doing an overnighter with just your...

Incidentally, isn't it pronounced 'Coff-lans'? It might be just me, but the spelling would indicate that, although everyone else seems to pronounce it 'Cog-lans' as you did.
