Instead of a frying pan you can take a roll of tin foil, removed from the box and cardboard tube it is extremely light and you can create just about any cooking device you need. And you can boil water with it so you do not need to carry metal containers, though a stainless steel water bottle and nesting cup are never not worth their weight, IMO. If you are bringing an ax or hatchet then you can get away with a multi-tool/SAK style knife that has a wood saw as your cutting tools. Honestly, I rarely cut down trees, even in dead of winter. I can usually find enough standing dead that I can push over, and a hatchet and SAK saw can handle most of the small camp tasks. And if it is really cold I don't even bother bucking up the wood, unless I brought a hot tent and stove, because long fires are the way to go in extremely cold areas. Semper Fi

Great video-it's a difficult art packing the right stuff. I've found, although it's a great pot, the Zebra is too bulky and heavy. I'll still use it, but only when necessary. Probably will get a Tatonka mug, since I don't usually use the full capacity of the Zebra anyway. It does take up a big space in my Bergen. A note on using headtorches alone-many of them don't give a long beam. I actually managed to get lost in woodlands at night, since you rely on being able to see into a distance. With the headtorch (and quite a good one) I couldn't see what was 10-20 foot away, and it was very difficult to orientate since everything looked the same close up. I was quite familiar with the woods, too, but of course it gets pitch black. Always carry a small long beam torch now, and have no problems.

Good video, info is always relevant & it's good to review even if you are an old dog who's been doing it for years. Like your axe collection. My son recently purchased a Husqvana limbing axe. He's a big lad at about 185cm & 90kg of solid muscle he swings it around like a hatchet. I carry the camp axe you would have seen on my instagram posts, at 176cm & 100kg it doesn't worry me either. I prefer to carry a fixed blade & a folder. As well as a head light & a torch - both LED Lensers. I guess its all about personal choice, what your doing & your environment.

One of my favorite parts of going on camping/hiking/backpacking trips is packing Something about figuring out exactly what you need for what you're doing and the most efficient way to get that into a pack is quite fun. Videos like this from you, Joe, Martin, Doug, MCQ, etc are super helpful in becoming good at packing a pack, which i think is something important that people often overlook. Thanks for the vid buddy all the way from Indiana USA.

Congrats towards the married life. Good video. You think like i do when it comes to weight and functionality. I have come up with some clever ideas. I'm a design and engineering GEEK. With that being said I'm very hands on and think like a MacGyver. Oh and hey here is something you can use in a video. 1 is not NONE you just need to know how to use it. Umm think like a tarp. KEEP ON TEACHING.

I am not a fan of those shovels for many reasons, aside from weight, there are too many parts and connections. Something like the cold steel special forces shovel on the other hand, is light and strong, and can replace a hatchet in most cases. You can also save knife weight without so much compromise, my Mora HD is only 5oz with the sheath

Just got back from a fishing trip with a 5. 5kg monster of a sea bream. First time dispatching and gutting such fish and it was a proper task to accomplish, I was thinking about how you and your father did it in a video of TA and with a bit of grandma's help all was done smoothly, learning as I go. Props to you both, great videos. Cheers Mike

Great suggestions but to add to the weight loss is to have a ruby the night before the trip and have a good dump in the morning. Good luck to you both on the big day I hope there be a jack on the top tier with you both. Dont give you dad to much of the cake or we will be getting a vid on how to catch a carp on wedding cake.

Good stuff. I encourage people to check out Fiskars X series axes. Literally no weight in the handle, you're essentially carrying a head. It isn't bushcrafty but if bushcraft becomes something that is stylistic rather than functional, well, bushcraft is going to cease being valuable. Thanks for this awesome vid

Also, an idea for some videos, I'm sure you have more them enough But some living off the land type videos you already have the knowledge for example certain fungi you can strike and wild berries you can eat, maybe even collect and store on the man cave Once again thankyou for your video Mike have a great day
