My dad and uncles were in the Pacific during the war. One of my father's friends told me a strange war story he said that he was in India during the war and would fly over the Himalayas to Burma and one time he flew and the whole airplane was full of white mice. He remembers flying over the mountains and feeling strange to be in a plane full of white mice he never found out what they were for. I'm guessing it was from medical testing. I can only imagine the sound all of those bombers would have made in the air that the German soldier heard. Here in Miami a long time ago the Coast Guard base had old World War 2 seaplanes and in the late 70s they retired them and the planes flew over Miami in a farewell flight. They were very loud when flying alone but in formation they were thunderous and there were only four or five of them I can imagine what it must have sounded like to have hundreds of those type of aircraft in the air. I hope the war ends in Ukraine very soon. It's crazy that there are so many people wanting more war and nobody in authority trying to shut it down. I wish everyone that wants war to go to the front lines with their families I think this crap would stop overnight

Speedy recovery my mate and a very interesting blog 👍

Hey Smith it's always great to get a new video from you. I like this one a lot. I work with a guy from Jamaica and he and his wife would make tinctures of marijuana what she said was very helpful for a lot of ailments. I have made my own elderberry syrup before and that is pretty good for colds and flus. Hope your shoulder gets better soon. There's a wonderful channel on CZcams about physical therapy called Bob and Brad. They might have some exercises for you to help your shoulder get back in shape later on. I enjoyed seeing the new house and yard you have so many wonderful opportunities for CZcams videos where you're at now. If I had your yard I think I would be dangerous😀😀

Hiya Mr Smiff! Good to see you looking fairly well, apart from the Shoulder, and moved to a new abode too! Hope the Shoulder gets better soon - mine isn't good at the moment, Physio says a rotator cuff problem. The Natural Aspirin was interesting. Sadly, I'm finding I don't have the time for Yoube that I used to have a couple of years ago, so way behind with a lot of channels I subscribe to. I've also deleted about half of the 90 or so channels I was subscribed to, but not yours! Regards to your good lady also, stay safe & well. 👍👍

Whats the sizing like on these? Baggy fit or tight fitting like the international stuff?

I have 4 Barbour wax jackets and old utility and a new Northumbria which have cotton lined sleeves and a couple of beacon sports jackets with nylon sleeves (in blue and olive), the cotton lined sleeves have been great, you would also like the 2 large poachers pockets on the Northumbria, on the inside though, each can take a 4 pint bottle of milk! For the 2 beacon sports jackets, I bought the blue one new about 10 years ago and immediately had problems with the sleeves, I took it to the Barbour shop and they replaced the sleeves under warranty as it was put down as a “fault”. This was a slow process though as warranty items seem to be at the back of the queue for work! I more recently found a second hand beacon sports jacket cheap second hand in olive and immediately sent it back for a clean and rewax and to get the sleeves re lined, all in it will cost £85 (£50 for the clean and rewax and £35 for the sleeves relined). A relatively inconvenient and high expense on a not particularly cheap jacket but I want to enjoy it and be comfortable wearing it so makes sense. I like the style of the Bristol, slightly shorter and more fitted than the Northumbria but a lighter waxed cotton as well (6Oz v the Northumbria’s 8Oz which I’ve bought specifically for colder weather). One thing to be aware of with the Northumbria (and I think the Beaufort as well) is the sleeves are on short size, I’ve read this is for shooting so they don’t get in the way. They are fine for me, I’m 6’2, slim build and wear a 38. Hope you are able to find a way to get the Bristol’s sleeves altered so you can enjoy it properly!

I bought my Barbour in 1985, you wouldn’t like the smell of it! 😂

Hope the new one doesn’t shrink like the old one has.

Would it keep spaghetti hot?

Right, so pleased you made this video... your not on your own.. the new sleeve lining are horrendous... even a half mile walk taking the children to school leave the arms drenched. I know you now live abroad but I've contacted barbour and they are changing the sleeve linings in my new jacket for 35 quid. All in however including postage etc probably a bit more... I wish I had never got rid of my old one...... the new ja k is almost unusable......kind regards

Another pipe smoker, great video mate.

In the more tailored Ashby model the polyester lining in the sleeves might make sense; it is easier to slip the lightly tighter sleeves over for instance a blazer. But the Beaufort sleeves are roomy enough to make this possible even with cotton lining. I have no idea of the cut of the Bristol, if the sleeves are tight or not. But I think Barbour saves a few pence going for polyester lining.

Hey smith, I live in the tropics so am a dummy when it comes to winter clothes but even I know they shouldn't have made an impermeable liner on the inside. I have an old shirt I use for fishing that the pockets wore out so I added clear gorilla tape on the inside and they have held through two washings.Good luck with your medical adventure.

i got a barbour beaufort, 40th edition and it has the same arms....and i have beads of water on the inside of my sleeves, when i go on the pennine moors... its a known problem, but barbour wont change their design....ridiculous... i have 3 barbours and am a loyal customer, and they wont listen to anyone... ps the barbour beaufort classic, has tartan in the arms...thats what you need or an old barbour border, or barbour northumbria..

But the barbour used to be olive right ? Than it become green with the time

this guy should try the barbour northumbria or the border...exactly the same pattern jackets...but the northumbria is a bit heavier 8 oz rather than 6 oz these are the real country jackets for all weather and layering... the beaufort is a bit posher really....and not as long. the borders and northumbria have 2 inside poaching pockets with poaching sacks that can be detached...they are large and can hold books , flasks, you name it...beans if you want to ..as they are water proof poachers pockets.

love this guy... im a northern lad and a country boy....and this guy is my kind of guy

Does anyone believe that the Barbour waxed jacket is superior then any other cheaper brand ? I own a lovely Beaufort classic ,I bought 3 months back , new , no labels ,via ebay £106 inc p&p I have also owned a 2 Dukes and a Bedale , my recent purchase which was delivered earlier was a new forest brand , identical to a Bedale other then the handwarmer pockets weren't moleskin lined , main lining was a different type of tartan and the zip didn't have the Barbour logo on it, this jacket cost me 16 quid with p&p. A friend of mine has a Dickies wax jacket he still wears after 9 years. Personally i think there are many other jackets out there that are cheaper but just as good

Without the badge you will almost certainly look a fool . Put it back on 😂

Great story, thanks for sharing, merry Christmas.

Hey Smith, I have not heard from you in a long time and was wondering if you were doing OK. Glad to see you're doing fine and I enjoyed the story. I have had exciting fishing and sailing trips but I haven't had any supernatural aquatic adventures. Only on land. That was a good story you should do more. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.

Its great to see a fella wearing a barbour thats not a poser ! Thou i think that big pocket at the back will be missed . The reason Queen Elizabeth choose a Beaufort over a Bristol is when the Corgis got a bit tired when out on a walk , her madge used to chuck em in the rear pocket ! Seriously guys that pocket is msssive !

hiya was that a bruce and walker ctm?

You cant beat Meindl ex army boots ,wateroroof , tough, but very heavy 1700 grams each one . As an alternative to DMs made in England ,Solovair are just as goof .

You should have sent your old one back for repair to Barbour, they look fantastic when repaired with patches. You would have saved some money on a new one too!

why don't you use thread and needle to fix that old jacket, even if you use it only for dirty work ?

Thanks! Just got the same Jacket, it like a Range Rover I keep it for best and have a new Gore Tex Berghaus for every day and Dog Walking/work like a Shogun!

Bonnie troot well done 👍🎣🎣

Tanker you very much😊🎊

How do you call those, it look's very much like what we call perchaude here in Québec

My husband bought me the large green Stanley with the handle for my allotment plot. My 7 year old son has gone and removed the rubber seal from the stopper. I have found the seal. But one side is open/grooved and the other side is flat. What way up does the rubber seal go? Thought I would ask as you seem like the Stanley King 😊

New one looks incredible

New favorite YT channel.

Super cool 😎 👍👍🇬🇧🇩🇪

What is the brand name of the boots, cheers?

You look great.

Hey Smith, this was a great video. I love fish and I always enjoy your seafood videos. You mentioned only keeping fish frozen in the freezer for six months. I have had good luck freezing fish in empty milk cartons with lightly salted water. When the fish is frozen in the ice they never get freezer burn. I have frozen shrimp for year and after thawing and cooking them. I couldn't tell that they had been frozen at all. Hope to see more videos soon.

Nice one! not an everyday guest 😊

What a great video; nothing better when you get that one coat that does the job right. Quality coat that will last for many years to come. Like a trusty old friend. Liked and subbed 👍 ATB Mark.

Can't beat a Stanley flask.. kept my coffee warm for years in the army and now days whilst fishing. Good review nice one.

Brilliant review, I own 3 stanley flask , black series. Lovely stuff and also one freezer box. Do you use it for hot diery products , such as milk with chocolate? Greetings from Sweden.

Great job! I enjoy using split cane rods myself. I recently acquired a 1960 split cane Chapman 500 which is a nice rod for lighter fishing... also would you mind if I ask what brand of shirt your wearing please, its a super colour

How have I not found your channel before! Great videos and content.

I am glad you have done a review on them because I am wanting to get a new one, so thank you

This was a really good video. I don't know anyone who has more Stanley thermos flask than you do. I didn't know they made a hip flask. I like how you went off track when you started talking about Trainspotting. I go off track all the time so it made me laugh. The great thing about Stanley is the nostalgia. They have been around forever, so it's nice to have something that connects us to the past. Hope you get some warm weather soon Smith so you can go fishing. I purchased a very strong light and a gig head so I can make a gig and try to spear some local snakeheads at night in the river. If it works I'll do a video.

The down side is once you buy Stanley you want to buy them all, i have a collection going now haha but they don’t just look awesome they are awesome

Great review, just been checking how much they cost..................interesting pipe as well!
