The Importance of a Utility sled and my Off-grid set up

I was inspired to make a little video about an item that will definitely improve your life when you are out in the wilderness this winter - this item is the utility sled. It hauls a lot of things from firewood, general supplies to even a big game animal. Everyone who loves to adventure or work outside in the wilderness should own one in my opinion.

ok?
Good review. About to buy it!
Nice!!!
About to buy this knife, thanks for review ❤
I haven't got the Casström No. 10 Swedish Forest Knife yet, but from a good research I've done, this and the Condor Darklore, are the only 2 knives, that have the overall design, on every single aspect of the knife and the proper materials, for a decent bushcraft knife, as a bushcraft knife should be. With all the CZcams marketing ,and the brainwash that comes out of it, there have bee ncompanies come out of nowhere, that offer designs, that are completely far from being designed as a bushcraft knife would be, or even use the proper steel and blade thickness, for a scandi grind to work properly. If you notice, most of them, come with 4mm thick blades and in many cases either soft stainless steels or D2 or a variant of D2, jsut made in another country with a different name.D2, is probably the only steel you should avoid, for a scandi grind knife, or any kind of woodworking hard use tool. It doesn't offer any edge stability, that scandi needs a lot of it, neither the toughnes such a blade should have, nore the ease of sharpening etc etc, Same goes for 3mm thick blades, which suck if the grind you put on such a thick blade, is a scandi. That's why Morakniv, Brisa, Condor, and all the bushcraft knives that are considered the best in the world, come with maximum, 3mm thick blades and low alloy Carbon steel blades and not soft stainles, or Super Hard D2.
Marc, great to see you back. I'm looking forward to seeing your vids. Thanks for the update! I love the philosophy and look forward to more learning from your channel. All the best to you and your family!
Thank you brother, appreciate the comment
Good to see you making content again Marc.
Thank you. Hope you are doing well and enjoying retirement
I always oil my HC knives as soon as I get them
Beaverknife is better.
Just picked one of these up from a meme we on BCUSA. Can’t wait to got out there with it. Thanks for the review. Very informative.
Thanks for taking the time to comment I hope the knife serves you as well as it has me
Okay!?
My new knife is here, it’s a wow knife , I like everything about it..
I’m glad to hear you like the knife. I think it will serve you well Enjoy
@@sparrowsos5723 Thanks , in two weeks now I really like it!!
I ordered that model , will arrive tomorrow, woods walk on Sunday to test it out
Thanks good review!! I like everything I see about that design !!
$184.95 on Amazon
That's the version that doesn't have the firesteel built into the case but still definately a good price regardless. Chicago Knife works has some great prices I like to support local, Canadian businesses whenever I can. To each his own, and to find a good price where ever that is. Thanks for the comment and for pointing out that price point for that version of the knife. I'll add that price point for that version in the video description
@@sparrowsos5723 No. The one without the firesteal is $149.95.
@@mfarrell123456 Can you send me the link to the non firesteel version you mention so I can confirm. It does not come up for me on my search. I want to put the most accurate info in the description for viewers. Thanks
@@mfarrell123456 I got in touch with the vendor on Amazon.ca. The $201.53 (minus $20 instant gift card rebate) Casstrom No.10 SFK does NOT come with firesteel
@@sparrowsos5723 For $184.95 you get: Description Overall: 8.625"; Blade: 3.875" l K720 Carbon Tool Steel l Standard Edge l Satin Finish; Handle: Brown; Other Info: Full Tang l Lanyard Hole. Scandi grind blade. Curly birch wood handles. Brown leather belt sheath with drain hole, lanyard hole, and Firesteel firestarter. Boxed. This product is made in Sweden.
BRAVO Marc!!! 👍👍👍
Merci! :)
Great job! Looking forward to more.
Thanks brother. I have one video already made in the breach waiting to be uploaded and more to follow in the coming weeks
Great intro video. Also checked out campsite setup video. Great source of information, especially for a novice like myself. Well done. Looking forward to seeing more.
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment
Nicely done.
Thanks Fred
Excellent info!! Super useful.
Thanks for the comment brother. I'm glad you liked the video and found it useful!
You should consider adding a link to the product that you are reviewing. Good review.
Good feedback. Wilco
One would think there's a thing called the internet, where someone can find links...
@@Yiannis2112 What is this internet thing of which you speak? The CZcams algorithm is driven by comments, views and likes. Links in the description can help content creators like my friend Marc here get free products to review. If you had access to this internet thing, you would know that.
@@fredwilliams3536 Lucky you and your access! I wouldn't know what that is, as I'm usually posting from the beyond.
Can't wait to try that tree sap. Once our fire ban is lifted of course. Great videos!
Thanks! I did a military survival course in the Rocky mountains, everything was soaking wet up there, no Birch trees in that area also. Pine sap was one of the only sources of tinder we had and it worked
nice video bro
Thank you, I appreciate the comment
amazing video
Thanks brother
Really great tips
Thanks for the great tips!
You're welcome
Great video Marc! I'm looking forward to the Yule log special edition this winter.
