1:18
so I'm out here today it's 2025 and um
1:23
I've been kind of laying low had some
1:25
health issues had some back problems
1:27
I've been trying to get those addressed
1:28
um and I'm finally starting to get some
1:31
relief from that um with some uh doctor
1:34
visits and some other procedures but we
1:36
don't need to go into that but this is
1:38
really the first time that I've been out
1:39
on the trail hiking um it seems like for
1:43
a long time so really excited to be out
1:46
here today with you guys and kind of
1:48
take you along and I wanted to show you
1:49
some new gear that um I received over
1:54
the past few months and one is from um
1:57
Stay Ready Outdoors they sent me awesome
2:00
titanium stove so we're cooking with
2:02
that today and then um I also picked up
2:06
um a new knife which I'm really excited
2:08
about this is the Topps um Creek XL I
2:13
haven't really used it a lot today I
2:15
mean just a few small chores just to get
2:19
the feel for it and see what I think of
2:20
it um I love a longer blade a bigger
2:24
blade and this thing is definitely heavy
2:27
duty but also it's very comfortable so
2:30
far haven't really had any complaints
2:31
with it it comes with a very nice
2:32
leather sheath so love tops knives made
2:35
in USA of course just a great allaround
2:38
tool
3:16
then this is actually an old piece of
3:19
gear this is a Max Edition Zafar um it's
3:23
a discontinued backpack they don't make
3:25
this anymore but this um at the time
3:27
that this came out this was the only
3:29
Maxpedition backpack that actually had
3:31
an internal frame and um an actual
3:37
real padded um waist belt and hip belt
3:41
so I picked this up because um I needed
3:44
to have a a smaller pack that actually
3:47
had a good frame to it and had a belt uh
3:50
because of my back issues um and I found
3:53
one of these and I've always wanted to
3:55
get one of these again because I
3:56
remember when these came out they were
3:57
pretty cool and they you know Max ition
4:00
gear it's it's a th000 deed Cordura
4:02
super durable but unfortunately you just
4:04
can't find these anymore and I've
4:07
tricked mine out a little bit I've added
4:08
these um wolf hooks these G hooks um and
4:12
replaced the fast Texs with these CU
4:14
they're just easier to get in and out of
4:17
um and replac some zipper poles and did
4:19
a few other things but it's a really
4:21
nice backpack I think it's around maybe
4:24
24 L something like that but um if you
4:27
get a chance to get one of these I
4:29
highly recommend it a little heavy uh
4:31
but the frame and the belt um it's very
4:33
comfortable to
4:35
carry and then um you know I talked
4:38
about tough possum being a sponsor of
4:40
this video um I carry a lot of tough
4:43
possum gear um this is a pouch I've had
4:46
this for a few years now and it is a
4:49
patch I always grab um always take with
4:51
me um because it's really kind of become
4:53
my kitchen pouch so it's not a new piece
4:55
of gear but I thought I'd share it with
4:57
you guys since we're talking about you
4:58
know Bushcraft type stuff that I take
5:00
with me but I keep all my food in here
5:04
uh titanium Spork um a little folding
5:06
coffee cup so just it's a nice grab and
5:09
go size bag and it's of course got these
5:13
d-rings on the side so you can actually
5:15
put a strap on this and then carry this
5:18
um if you you know want to leave camp
5:20
and maybe scatter around this can become
5:22
a small kit to take with so always like
5:24
that kind of portability of
5:28
gear so I thing we get some food going
5:31
so I've got um some of this nutrient
5:34
survival triple mac and cheese kind of
5:36
like a
5:37
dehydrated or freeze-dried uh powdered
5:40
mix and then we're going to add a little
5:43
uh star kissed chicken buffalo style to
5:47
that and then of course I've
5:50
got little coffee
5:53
cup and some instant coffee so we're
5:56
going to have some coffee as well
6:00
of course another favorite piece of
6:01
tough possum gear that I always have is
6:04
my sit pad from them really
6:07
awesome um design because it's a little
6:10
bit longer than most sit pads um it has
6:13
a Cordura outer cover so one side is a
6:18
subdued color and then you got of course
6:20
this awesome bright orange which doubles
6:23
as your signal panel um and then it
6:27
actually has a Velcro
6:29
closure and you can take the pad out um
6:33
some guys will take this pad out and cut
6:35
it and that way then you can
6:38
fold the sit pad and make it a little
6:40
bit smaller especially if you're
6:41
carrying it on a Hab sack but um it's a
6:44
fantastic piece of gear it's probably
6:46
one of the most um utilized pieces of
6:50
gear that I have from tough posum I and
6:52
all the guys that I know who are into
6:54
bushcrafting and go to the Bushcraft
6:56
meets and you know do all that stuff
6:59
they all have one of these it's just
7:01
it's a great piece of gear and I really
7:03
like it especially in hunting season
7:04
with that orange so
7:28
awesome
7:58
e e
9:28
for for
10:18
[Music]
11:00
so it's just a nice little lightweight
11:02
twig stove pretty easy to put together
11:06
um of course it's got a good capacity so
11:08
you can really fill this thing
11:10
up and then I've got my old titanium
11:15
wild camping
11:16
gear or wild camping International
11:19
titanium pot I think this is 750
11:21
milliters it's got the
11:25
baale but I'm going to make some lunch
11:28
here in a minute
12:06
chess pack I'm carrying too um it's
12:10
fairly new it's uh it's actually um a
12:14
copy of the hel helex um I think they
12:20
it's the numbat I think that's their
12:21
chest pack I can't remember the exact
12:24
name of but this is by I think faywood
12:28
gear here on Amazon considerably cheaper
12:32
and what I like about this one is is
12:34
I've had the helex one the harness was
12:39
just too small I could not get it big
12:42
enough especially with layers this one
12:45
has a much
12:46
larger strap um I can expand it out more
12:50
and get it over jackets shirts because
12:51
I'm wearing three layers right now got a
12:54
wool shirt a soft shell jacket and of
12:57
course a a long sleeve
13:00
um thermal underneath everything
13:02
so uh I like the ability to expand it um
13:08
but it's pretty much exactly like the
13:10
the hant Tex one but a lot cheaper
13:13
easier to get a hold of and it fits
13:32
so the benefits of these little titanium
13:34
wood
13:35
stoves um is that there's fuel all
13:39
around you so you're not carrying a lot
13:40
of extra fuel with you um they do take a
13:44
little bit of time of course it took
13:46
some you know a while to collect the
13:48
wood get it broken down processed the
13:50
way I wanted to um setting up the stove
13:54
getting the fire
13:55
going um and then if you're cooking
13:59
things that take longer you really have
14:02
to be prepared with all your wood and
14:04
keep feeding that
14:08
fire
14:10
so a little bit more finicky
14:14
but I like having a fire when I'm out in
14:16
the woods anyway and then since it's so
14:19
small really doesn't attract attention
14:22
I'm not you know creating a big
14:25
campfire
14:27
um which is a nuisance for some
14:34
places so the little titanium stoves I
14:38
think are a great addition to a day
14:40
hiking Bushcraft
14:43
kit all right hope you enjoyed the video
