Finally got down to the creek today, was able to do this review!

I wanted to make a leather case for my Altoids tin that would fit on my belt or either of my knives, separately or in combo. This little case will slide onto my belt or fit either individual sheath for the Beck V2 system. I like using this Bob Ross tin for my PSK because I can't help but laugh...

I've been doing a bit of carving with my knife lately and really enjoy it. Right now I'm in the process of carving an entire walking stick from local wood. A lot of the time I rest the handle butt on my leg and grab the back of the blade for percise cuts. The knife has about 3" of saw teeth on...

The power of a TSA agent is literally insanity to me. The items they go after to "protect" us seems to be a flavor of the month thing, no real consistency. I've traveled quite a bit from the States to Costa Rica the last few years. My wife was searched because of "explosives residue" on her...

In less than a month I will have been carrying this satchel for 4 years. Here in Costa Rica we do not have a car so anything I might need whenever I leave the house has to be on me. I actually put it together back in 2016 but it never saw use until January 2018. Loaded up it's around 7 pounds...

I used to buy magazine's all the time but got tired of the hype. Never read about a gun or knife that the author didn't love lol. Now I put a lot more stock in reviews on forums like here, from actual users.

The corrosion is my worry too, so mine stays in a pouch or tin.

That is probably the issue I was running into with the smoke. Not a lot of dry stuff here in central America lol

For me it's just that it's simple. Easy to boil water, easy to get a fire because of the draft. I have the hobo stove attachment so when the waters done I can put the skillet right on a hot little fire. I really can't say it's better than this or that but I have been very happy using it...

Last year I bought the smallest version of the Kelly Kettle in stainless steel. I really enjoy using it and think the idea is ingenious! However it seems that my kettle puts out an inordinate amount of smoke during use. As a firefighter (retired) I understand that is a product of incomplete...

I am a fan of them, just like the redundancy. All of mine are just cobbled together from gear I have and trust. PSK's are definitely not a cure all but under the right circumstances could be a game changer. This one is out of a Bob Ross tin because really, who could be less stressed than Bob...

I'm pretty sure you're right about that! Lol

My son and I volunteered to help a veterinarian friend to a remote region of Southern Costa Rica along the Pacific. It's about 6 hours south of our home and there is no other vet within an hour's travel. In 2 days we saw 27 dogs and cats that needed either treatment or to be spayed. The big...

This has been my EDC since July, I've really taken a shine to it. Drop point in O1 steel and Micarta, fairly basic stuff but the maker did an awesome job. The handle is probably the most comfortable that I've held!

Yes, the paraffin wax was from plain candles at the local store. I couldn't find any beeswax here so when my family made a visit to the states I had some ordered off of Etsy. The Coconut oil is easy to get here but kinda expensive (like the beeswax). We buy our honey from a local farmer but...

I had been wanting to wax my Romanian rucksack, my mix was equal parts beeswax paraffin and coconut oil. Using a double boiler and heat gun the mixture one on easily and was soaked up by the old canvas and leather. This is my go-to rucksack here in Costa Rica and I really wanted to make it a...

I made the sheath a while back and really enjoy using it. Today my inner geek got the best of me and I added a tree of Gondor to the leather with a wood burner and some silver paint. I'm definitely not the best artist but on the plus side I shouldn't lose it in the leaves! Lol

Thank you all for the kind words! It says "when you can't run you crawl and when you can't crawl anymore, find someone to carry you" It's a quote from a TV show I like called Firefly. Since it's been my EDC bag for nearly 4 years, I've added fun stuff I enjoy. Map of middle earth, Bagend door...

Hi guys just wanted to share my latest video with the current mods I've installed on my Romanian rucksack and Polish bag.
