Gear/Product reviews

Originally published on YouTube on April 1, 2020 For a long time I have been struggling with finding the right #bushcraft backpack for carrying my basic gear load. Several types of military assaust packs that I have used over the years proved to not be spacious enough even for a day trip let alone for a one or two day #camping trip. I was always having to attach multiple pouches and strap items to my packs, therefore, adding more weight and discomfort. Recently I began searching for a new bushcraft pack online and I found the bushcraft line by Helikon-Tex. The #MatildaPack by Helikon-Tex has completely solved my storage issues for the basic gear that I carry. The pack is very comfortable and constructed with quality materials. I also added two sides pouches, the Essential Kitbag and the E&E pouch, both made by Helikon-Tex. I am extremely happy with the setup. One more item that I wish to have soon is a good quality down top quilt or sleeping bag that is light weight and packs down small enough to store inside the Matilda pack or just under the lid. I want a quilt or bag that will serve as the one single piece of gear that keeps me warm down to 15° F if not below. That would complete the gear items that I consider to be all I need for any situation. I hope you enjoy this gear review with an overnight campout all in one. Do everything you can to protect yourself and loved ones in this time of uncertainty and unrest. We can overcome this event together. Thanks for watching and as always, be safe out there!

Originally published on YouTube on January 16, 2019 The art and process of starting a camp fire is held sacred amongst bushcrafters, campers, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts all over the world. #firestarter #outdoorgear #camiping There is nothing like a nice camp fire to sit around on a chilly or cold night. Not only is a fire fun it can be life saving as well. A fire provides warmth, a way to cook food, steralize water for drinking and is a light in the darkness. Sometimes conditions just arent favorable for easy fire starting. When everything is wet from rain and your materials aren't the driest, it's nice to have a fire starting aid on hand. BLACK & WHITE FIRE STARTERS are top of the line (my opinion). I highly recommend you check out Mr. Outdoorsy and his line of awesome products. When you need a fire and you need it fast you are going to want some of this stuff in your pack!

Originally published on YouTube on April 30, 2019 Hello everyone! The weather is warming up and summer is on it's way and that means it's time to pack smarter and lighter when it comes to backpacking, hiking, #camping and various outdoor activities. In this video I #review and test the SOL (Survive Outdoors Longer) Escape Bivvy. On my quest to find a lighter, more packable option for a sleeping bag cover, I found this bivvy online and now it's time to put it to the test. After a brief display, going over a few of the specs and comparing it to the US modular sleep system bivvy, I head to my base camp to give the SOL Escape bivvy it's first initial test. This lightweight bivvy is a perfect option for lightweight backpacking and can be used as an #emergencyshelter. It weighs only 8.5 ounces and is made from 100% ripstop nylon. I found it to feel very durable and the reflective material on the interior proved to keep me very warm with temperatures in the low to mid 40's (F). The waterproof material provides great protection from the elements. If you are looking for a lightweight bivvy I hope you find this review helpful in your search. Thanks for watching!

Today we take a look at the Snugpak Basecamp Ops TSB sleeping bag. After using this bag for nearly a year I finally test the bag in cold temperatures solely by itself to see if it stands up to the ratings given to it by the manufacturer. We are at the basecamp where I tend to spend a lot of time practicing #bushcraft, testing #outdoorgear and #camping outdoors. In this video I go over some of the troubles that I have found with this sleeping bag and then put it to the test with overnight temperatures in the mid 30's F. If you are considering purchasing this sleeping bag, I hope this video is helpful. https://snugpakusa.com/product.php?id=22 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0129DD5SY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_4Mn8FbXEC1GAV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 MUSIC Title: Danger Snow Artist: Dan Henig CONTACT INFO burnwoodbushcraft@gmail.com https://www.instagram.com/burnwood.bushcraft/
