Traveler

Welcome to the Traveler channel: I do a lot of hiking, camping, city trips, and some bushcraft. Doing all that traveling I thought it was a good idea to share my experience with you. I tested a lot of gear over the years and I like to help you decide what gear suits you best. I don't create a lot of content but I'll try to make it as comprehensive as possible to give you the information as objective as I can.

I hope you enjoy watching the video's and wish you happy times in the outdoors.

Greetings,
Wim

PS, I'm Dutch so the words may come out weird sometimes, apologies for that.

    The chisel and file come in quite handy for whittling. It's much easier to make anything concave with the chisel and the file is great to smooth out the carving lines which is especially great if you carve any tool with a handle, like a wooden mallet. It's just much better to use with a handle that's filed smooth. Also, the saws are the two thinnest layers you can have on a 91mm Vic, so adding the file and chisel to a Huntsman doesn't really make it all that more bulky or heavy. You can also use the file to file your nails and clean under them with the tip which as you said is quite handy! The Ranger is just insanely tool dense and in my experience every tool on it comes handy when bushcrafting.

    Good point, It comes down to how often u use those tools compared to the volume and weight. For me the huntsman is more than enough 95% of the time. Having said that, I usually also have the Ranger at the campsite. As long as the tool works for you, you can carry as many layers as you want. Or as many different knives. Greetings and enjoy, Wim

    I've been using mine for years now. I modified it by sewing 4 molle points under the pack so i can attach savotta sleeping pad with 2 straps. My main complaint with the bag would be the narrow shoulder strap area. If you have a relative big chest its gonna be uncomfortable. Also the shoulder pads are too short, i wish it ran a little more down, again chest issues. All in all I love it though mainly for its authenticity and durability. I'm a sucker for external frames.

    Geweldige review, dank je wel! De Xtorm EVOKE solar charger AM 121 lijkt echt een gamechanger te zijn voor outdoor avonturiers. Het idee dat je je apparaten kunt opladen terwijl je wandelt, maakt lange tochten een stuk aangenamer en veiliger. De compacte en lichte constructie is ideaal voor wandelaars die niet veel extra gewicht willen meenemen. Bovendien is het indrukwekkend om te zien hoe efficiënt de zonnecellen zijn, zelfs bij minder zonnig weer. Heb je toevallig ervaring met hoe lang het duurt om een gemiddelde smartphone volledig op te laden met deze oplader? Dit zou een waardevolle aanvulling zijn voor toekomstige gebruikers. Nogmaals bedankt voor de gedetailleerde uitleg en demonstratie!

    If you want the best value knife i can recommend the green army knife (08 version). It's the same size as the two big ones you covered, has an incredibly strong and thick blade with a much stronger locking mechanism. It's missing some features such as the cork screw, but the amazing thing is how cheap you can get it. It's issued to every soldier in the swiss army, the second hand market is full of more or less new ones. Got mine for 30 bucks. Obviously only an option for people in / around switzerland. One interesting thing to note is that the flathead screwdriver is also locking and can take a lot of force, useful for breaking open stuff or loosening very tight screws.

    That's not a hiker. That's a climber (openers, blades, scissors and corkscrew) The hiker has a saw instead of scissors and the phillips screwdriver instead of the corkscrew. On my backcountry trips I always take the ranger but my urban edc is a fieldmaster.

    Any knife that is ~4mm with a scandi doesn't perform the best that it could. Flats or saber (like the lynx) are best at 4mm+. I reground the Nordico for a higher scandi grind and the performance is drastically better for carving

    Nice summary. For beginners, agree on the mora and Opinel. Every knife person have them as they are very bang for buck. For tropical Singapore axe is not efficient but good for other environments. I highly recommend Silky brand for saw. The gomboy? I think that’s the name is a great starter saw. Nothing cuts wood like a silky haha.

    I have had Tilley hats since 1985. I have had two of this Airflow model. Worst hat Tilley ever made. The brim support, maybe a wire?, collapses and the brim flops down over your eyes so you can’t see. Tilley replaced one of them, but same result. It is unwearable and I wear other hats instead.

    I have a few knives with exposed pummels ( Mora Garberg , Joker Lynx and Joker Nomad ). I prefer a knife without them as I find it more comfortable in the hand . In fact my favourite handles are on the Mora 2000 and Mora HD Companion both of which are a great fit for my size 9 hand. Back to Joker knives the Campero and the Nessmuk have well shaped handles too.
