Oh, a now tarp set up! I like it, especially since I usually carry a 10x10 Aquaquest tarp and it's usually raining here in winter (Oregon, USA). I also have problems with rain gear. Because I'm a 50-something woman with a double mastectomy, nothing fits and I alternate between sweat and cold, constantly. Wool is the only thing that works with me, and layering. I have rain gear, but I hate using it. Thank you for all you do to get these amazing videos out to us. I appreciate the diversity of your gear! And your videos are gorgeous!

Brilliant video yet again, I am always so pleased when I get a notification that you have posted a new video. I now always cut off the tie out points on a new tarp. I then spray about a 20cm area around the tie out with contact adhesive. I then stick duct tape over it and do this on both sides. I then sew on a stronger tie out and all around the edge of the tape about 1 cm from the edge. If you then put the tarp in a warm area for a couple of days the soft glue on the tape seals all of the needle holes and is totally water tight. The 1st one I did like this is about 4years old and the tie outs are still ok although the rest of it is now no good. Thanks very much for all of the time, money, and effort that you give freely to like minded people. An especial thanks to your family for letting you. John Stott UK

I’ve done flint and steel, char cloth, charred punk…bow and drill…but I WILL shamelessly toss in a homemade fire starter under those conditions! Practicing is great, but when you NEED a fire, no holds barred. Shame about the tarp tie out popping out. I hope it was under warranty! I have a similar tarp, my friend has one even bigger. We have created a shelter big enough to cover both our hammocks while cranking the heat in a Biolite stove in the dead of winter. Takes the right trees and a mile of string but hey, it’s all fun in the outdoors! OMG I love your videos, thanks so much!

IMO the Garberg is the best knife Ive ever had. And Ive had evweything from Essee to fallkniven. The casström has great steel and handle. But blade is too thick to be comfortable in carving for me. Its perfect for heavy duty work and I know it would never fail and break. But for batoning knife it would need 1 inch more lenght in the blade to be perfect.

Fire. Better than any movie.

Last time while I’ve been out with some friends to the Beskidy mountains (southern Poland) in -10 degrees, I spent most of the time in woolen sweater and merino base layer, while they had all these shells, polartec and other type of modern layers and they’ve been freezing their asses off. Ulvang sweater is my best friend in minus temperatures.

I can empathize with your challenges regarding the fire. I once spent ten days above the timberline on a solo fly in caribou hunt. Rained non-stop until the day the plane was returning which is, of course, when the caribou came out - they won. I had a small solo goretex tent - glorified bivy bag really. It was pure misery but it is the trip I think about fondly the most. You are absolutely correct. Wool and canvas is the way to go. I appreciated the look on your face when the loop on the tarp broke. I wish I knew what you were thinking lol. I really thank you for doing different things every video. That way I can learn along with you. Best channel on UTube.
