Video

great video, after watching numerus others I tried my first sheep skin and the fur slipped, very disappointing. I am ready to try again, is there anything different for a sheep skin? Are these tanned hides washable?

Great video! Do one on changing the impeller

Hey, saw some of your other videos and saw the posts stopped abruptly, hope youre well!

Nice caribou!

If you were going to privately buy a used 2007 50 HP 4-stroke honda motor, what would you recommend having inspected or serviced prior purchasing? Planning to take it to local mechanic. Thanks!

I'm just did the yearly maintenance on my boat, and this video helped a ton. Thank you!!

El estar del honda 30 presios

Excellent tutorial on yearly maintenance! No rambling,and solid advice on do’s..do nots..and lubricants + tools needed.

do you know any other way ho to change oil and how t make vending in trim ?

Dragon Fly has a nice simmer. Which can be very good for rice or beans.

Fantastic guide! I have previously tanned hides, and my results were not as good as yours. I plan to use your instructions later this year, and hope to see a massive improvement in my hides. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for the outstanding video! I wish I had found this before starting my first tanning project. Tanning a coyote hide for my wife to use, and the measurement of the salt bath I was advised to use was off, and started to lose fur, so I put it in the freezer until I could find a solution. I will try to save it now. If you have the time, I would appreciate tips on coyote tanning. I'm subscribing to your page now... Thank you so much!

Thanks for your post, appreciate the detail and explanation. Question: During the pickle stage, (about 11:00 of your video) the emphasis on skin down and insuring contact with fluid, could a press or device be used to "hold everything under the solution" ? I envision a plastic grate or similar that would push hide under solution and insure contact. (or is this just overkill and not necessary? 😁) Thanks

Lol well I've got a 25hp honda on my ssv 16 and feel i have plenty of power i guess that's the difference in people 😮.

Conclustion: not worth it. Downvote and get a merino shirt. They are awesome

Amazing video brother, could you point me in the direction on where to purchase your tanning solutions? Thank you

Hello mate, the leather outer of the boot is not waterproof. Leather is not waterproof. Nubuck leather works in dry abrasive conditions and keeps them breathable but not good in wet conditions. You're supposed to wax your boots twice a season in order to keep them waterproof. Lowa even has a cream that you can put on after each trip to keep them conditioned and water-resistant. But I use the fail-safe Granger's boot wax or Kenatrek boot wax. Also, if you’re going through the brush and/or dew you should wear gaiters so water doesn’t drip down your trousers and into your boots, that could’ve been what happened to you. I also wear High/Tall 10.5 inch Lowa boots so I can feel confident walking through puddles, creeks and dew. I think my Lowa boots are the best boots on the market. I have the Lowa Hunter Evo Extreme, Insulated and non-insulated GTX and the Lowa Tibet Evo Hi GTX and they all perform and they all perform in conditions. I hope this helps.

Been eye balling these for a while. One question: The outer shell has a nice size gauntlet sized opening to go over your rain jacket or puffy. How does it compare to the insulated portion of the glove? Meaning, does the inner glove have a wide enough opening to go over a puffy jacket or will it bunch up the cuff/wrist portion of the jacket?

Great show Love the fact that it’s not somebody’s talking head all thru it Sometimes less is more👍🏻 Love the sounds and beautiful surroundings

I am very interested in learning about tanning a black bear.

Might have to get a similar stone and improve my sharpening, since my knives seem to be getting more expensive....

I wore a merino top for the whole of the coved lockdown and I have 20 year old merino tops still as good as new so its clear all merino is not equal. The cheapest stuff Ive bought is still going strong after 20 years

MSR Dragonfly - god I cannot remember when I bought it, more than 20 years ago and probably nearer to 30years ago (not sure when they started making them!) I have been loving my Trangia and alcohol stoves in recent years for the simplicity- but the Dragonfly has that simmer control for ‘real food cooking’ works anywhere , on the snow above 11.000ft and it is the only stove that I find bombproof reliable to match the Trangia - my Dragonfly works as well today as all those years ago, what an investment! The ONLY (two things - might be overkill for one person - subjective) downside to this stove is the noise. It sounds out around the valley like a jet fighter plane - a consideration for ‘stealth camping’. Last thing I love about this thing is how the fuel (petroleum) in my case lasts making it my cheapest to run and I NEVER worry about running out of fuel, it’s cheap to run and lasts multiple trips. It’s a damn keeper and I do not believe anything over these years compares to it. I have a Soto Windmaster for lightweight day walking / emergency use but this is having issues with less than 2 years use… probably I could have been kinder in use and stowing it when it got wet in inclement weather BUT, those issues have never presented with the Dragonfly/Trangia systems- which is why I consider these to be bombproof keepers!

How do the sirius ii fit compared to the Alaskas? Fit close? Can’t find anywhere to see how they fit, I have the scarpa wrangells now

Synthetics makes people stink....

What about cotton and hemp?

Get a mic man

I owned and sold this jacket……I really liked it except for one thing. The neck opening was very narrow. If I was wearing a tee underneath I could zip it up but with any layers with collars or hoods it was a no-go. As an outer layer piece I don’t know why it was designed that way.

I like this video. I don't agree with the conclusion but the points are fair and you bring up great points that I didn't consider. Excellent work!!

Is the process the same for a cowhide?

I went the opposite route, went down from a new 40 hp tiller on a light 16ft to a 25 hp and am 100% happier {Mercury's}. I feel like a lot of people think that a bigger outboard is just more power, its not. Weight comes into play, with handling and effort to operate. I have a 2 vids on my channel of the 40 hp being too much. 1 vid of Holeshot with lift/torque steer, and another of it porpoising no matter what trim or transom height setting. What I found is that its the weight of the outboard on the transom, not the power that is the limiting factor. The older 2 stroke 40-50 hp outboards were around 180lbs with power trim, the new 4 strokes are 40-65 lb's heavier and thats mainly what created the above listed negative's. Your SSV is really decked out nicely, Im sure with your riggers, gear, passengers etc you are pushing some weight and that 50 hp feels good. My boat being a '93 says rated for 40 hp but back then they probably never imagined a 40 hp Merc weighing 247lb's, half of what the boat itself weighs then adding a gas, battery and driver in the rear.

Great video, I was excited to try out the stone glacier and when I finally did I was not impressed. The fit is bizarre. Choking my neck, tons of bicep room and tight on the wrist. Idk what’s going on.

After seeing that title i kenw bro was gonna cook up the absolutel lowest IQ take ever.

Is the process the same for all animals? I want to tan rabbit hides, deer and coyotes hides I have? Great video and thank you so much. Your mounts are all awesome. God bless you

Thanks for the review . I just ordered a pair this morning.How do you recommend caring for them ?

Found this exact knife underneath the Thirsty Goat Bar in Lajitas Golf Resort in west Texas. I used to work Maintenance there and I literally just found this knife lying there. I snagged it as quick as I could. FREE BENCHMADE KNIFE!!! 😃 Who'd of thunk?

What did I do wrong that my edges are super hard? Is that cuz I didn't stretch it enough? Too much Tanning oil?

You have the later model in your thumbnail.... how annoying

Are you wearing an older version of the Kenai jacket than the one currently stocked by Kuiu? It seems like you are, but I'm not certain.

I just love the modifications you made to your boat. What a great informative video. Thank you 👍🏽

Good job 👌🏽

Ive thought about going to an ssv just wish I could fish out of one first. Currently have two boats one is a 14' with a 68" beam and the other is a 16' with an 82" beam. The difference between the two is night and day as far as felt stability although they are both capable boats for the size. I've had my eye on an 18 ssv for a while as an all around boat but wondering how stable they are. With that bit of extra beam on the 16 my whole family can lean on one side and you wouldn't even think of it. Not so much on the 14.

Very usefull video. Great filming and you explained it short and precisely - very professional, thank you! Do you have a video of replacing imppellers on a honda 4 stroke engine. I have a Honda BF50A and i cant find anything.

How about waterproof?

Great video😊😊😊... I'd like to get the 18-footer...

It's been about a year with your Hanwag Sirius II boots. What do you say about them now ?

The rubber rand and soles on my Tibets were completely destroyed after 10 months of pretty hard use. Fit was pretty good, but I've been looking for a more durable boot since. Currently running Crispi Briksdal and although a lot lighter they have been more durable than the Tibet.

Any updates?

Over Powered is not possible! Lol! If it’s rated for the motor, that is what you should run! Fast is fun!

In the Norwegian Army there is a saying that goes something like «flis er for kalde amerikanere» basically “synthetics are for cold Americans” in Norway we use wool(not just merino) and mesh. We’ve been dealing with the cold for hundreds of years before the us was discovered. Synthetics are great, until you fall in a river or get hit with some ice rain. After that you will be begging for some wool. When US marines come to Norway to learn winter survival they usually borrow Norwegian gear after the under ice portion of training.
