Great job. Not that I ever will, but one could make the weight holding green wood square and the pulling poles detachable (for example, the poles could screw off). Then they could serve as a small table and tent/tarp supporting poles if the trailer was used for hikes with overnight camping.

Love it!

thank you for this video, after searching for ages, I couldn't find any free .img map sources. Am looking for maps of India and need to install in my Garmin Etrex10. Please help with this

Thanks for sharing these ideas. Can the same method be used to waterproof a cloth to make a tarp? This is a multi-use 4x4m cloth which can be made to form a variety of outdoor shelters. Do you have any suggestions for that?

Know it’s 7 years, but well done

Has anyone tried using a hard sea shell, like a scallop or oyster shell? They may be to soft, and grind away or just be to brittle and chip off!? Or the calcium in the shell, may just add to the burning capability?

I don't suggest scraping the fero rod shavings, into your carpet. Unless you want to burn down your house!

At first I questioned the use of a drill bit, as your steel scraper. But, they do have a hardened, sharp edges, and are easy to store in your tube. Which easily replaces a large knife! So, that is a pretty smart idea! I have seen people dip, their cotton, pads / disks in a can of melted wax. The wax seals the discs, and adds to a larger sparking area, and longer burn time. They just dry flat, and need a larger storage area.

This is good. Also when you got the cargo deck on front and back of the wheel, you can laod it so that it is not hanging heavy on your hips. The wheels funcitons as a weight distributor.

what is this paper called ?

The carts used to haul golf bags around make a good starting point for a hiking trailer. They're light and available cheap at thrift stores. Simply reverse how they face and find a way to connect them.

👍👍👍. I have been recently experimenting with my Trangia Mini .. having filled the Burner with Ceramic / Glass Wool and then topped with a roll of Carbon Cloth. Why? Three things .. 1. Alcohol spillage and the associated fire hazard in the event of an inadvertent knockover. I have been using Glass Wool in my homemade Soda Can Burners and similar for some time now, with excellent results. The spillage hazard is greatly reduced with no discernible reduction of performance .. nothing over which to shed tears. 2. The Trangia can be used immediately without chance of the flame being 'snuffed' if a pot is placed on the pot stand / windscreen too quickly after lighting .. especially in cooler temperatures. 3. Heat. My Trangia goes into 'afterburner' mode after a while .. especially if an additional windscreen (by necessity) is used. Cooking up items that tend to stick to the pot bottom if not nursed becomes problematic .. even when using the Simmer Ring. Morning Oatmeal for me is vital .. or I cannot function for the rest of the day 😁. With the wool insert, the Trangia appears to burn more gently .. even after coming to a bloom .. and more so using the Simmer Ring. 'Time to a Boil'? This has never fussed me and if it takes a bit longer, so what? With the approach of Autumn and Winter, I'll be testing this new format in colder conditions. Not as cold as that in this Post, but Switzerland does get chilly at times. It should be interesting as to how the Trangia performs. My homemade Alcohol Burners have given me sterling service throughout Winter so I'm hoping that the Trangia will follow suit. Should anybody out there have already tried similar, please let me know .. thanks.

I had a small piece of Air dried meat. And it wasn't salty.can you tell me why that may have not had a salty taste to it ?

Thank you🙏 well done. I was on a backpacking tour last month for a few days. And I'm 55 years old and my backpack was about 14 Kilos. I had pain in every single muscle and bone. Now I looked for a trailer,shocked about the prices 🥺. And now your video...what can I say? My husband has a challenge tomorrow 😎. Happy times with Mother Nature for you and everyone. Thanks from Germany 🌻

WHERE DID YOU GET A IMG MAP?? I CANT FIND ONE FOR ETREX 10

2022 has sent me here

I wasted 24 eggs by setting my oven at 75 😥And I didn't have the oven door open. Thank you for your video! Hope I'll succeed for take 2 now!

Excellent post, thank you for sharing.

Can I install kml or kmz file format map to my etrex 10 and locate my existing boundaries?

Thank you... finally someone who has made 1 using what the layman can get their hands on and no fancy machinery needed. I am looking to make myself 1 as a bit of a project. I suspect I will use your idea as the foundation of my design. Thank you for the different perspective.

Thank you Sir, much love from Canada.

Do you then wax them???

The background music is quite loud..

Any Tasmanian maps ?

You forgot to mention that besides protecting the wood from absorbing water, Tar helps retain wax used in skis bases for gliding and kicking.

You could have built up the snow to make a makeshift windscreen.

The original link for the instructions in the video description no longer works but you can get the full article from Slowfood Survivalist at web.archive.org/web/20190403183318/slowfoodsurvivalist.com/?p=208

The 8MB of internal memory is the big limitation of the etrex 10. The closer you get towards using up the minuscule 8MB of memory, the less space you will have for waypoints, track logs, geocaching GPX files, POI files, etc. Staying at or below 6-7 MB is a safe bet. The 8 MB memory was just to allow a base map. You were intended to buy a 20 or 30 if you wanted detailed maps. Just something to be aware of.

Excellent work. Very creative !

thanks for the help

I got my Mini Trangia in 1989 for backpacking long distance trails to replace a gas cannister stove mostly because fuel was easier to get hold of (there's nothing you can do with those in really cold weather as the cannisters depressurise). I've never gone back to gas, the Trangia always works. We don't get as cold in the UK, but at minus °C figures, I keep the burner containing alcohol in a pocket close to my body, and that works.

Can I copy the topo map from Garmin 64s to the etrex10?

Overdoses, heroine, salted beef, Finland meets New York! hehehe

What happens when you wash your pants, does the wax wash off

I made dry meat on my balcony for my dog without salt. How is meat with salt? Salty?

Couldn't find anyone doing cold weather tests with stoves - thanks for this.

Actually, loading the maps is easy, but finding on the net seems more difficult - to me. I'd appreciate it if someone can give me some suggestions where I can find downloadable maps for Europe please? Thanks in advance.

i am sure glad i found your video friend, i was going tomorrow morning to spend $100 dollars on hardware for a toboggan ...this solves many problems like the full length runners...a very fine design(why didn't i think of this, haha )...Creator bless you and yours...doug (central canada)

Thanks working great

My sock happens to have a hole in it, so I will use it to tar my skis" BRILLIANT!! I love it!

Yummy. My brother-in-law is from Bardufoss. İ'm learning how to make beef jerky. Nice video. Takk skal du ha.

In my first work I always used Woodglut plans.

apparently a lot of you don't want to google... czcams.com/video/ifBlevULGtM/video.html

You can use Stodoys and plans. The best plans and very detailed instructions. You can learn a lot from them and do it yourself.

I did it with the Woodglut plans.

B4 45 sec he is holding a dried age ham lol wow

Woodglut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.

Will this work with multiple map tile downloads?

awful music

It would work far better as the Original Trangia 25/27 would be used. Those two have an integrated Windscreen - they where made for Swedish Climate which is windy the whole year.
