he says he's got his own YouTube channel called Imbert Lomond L + ' H onand and it's from my buddy Brian that's journeyman Han Croft I'll pop a link in the description Brian made me some really cool custom bushcraft gear that I was after so Brian sent me a new at sheath for my Husqvarna hatchet because and I've made this mistake before don't make the same mistake I do guys sometimes when I'm hitting in states with a hatchet if you leave a leather sheath on I never lead a sheet on what happens is you bash down with your hatchet and that downward force is then sent through the rivets on this leather because the imagine this is the blade the hatchet as it hits down that's going boom boom boom every time it eventually it's split through and bust all the rivets so yeah personally I do this is me personally I don't like to bash anything in you shouldn't really with an ax or a hatchet anyway but I don't like doing it with a leather sheath on because it cuts food on it twice now obviously if you want if you're worried about safety with an axe or hatchet you're hitting something you'll see when I'm doing I'm always tilting my head to the side so the axe heads always going over to the side that way if it comes off it goes off to the side hopefully hopefully one would hope thank you so much Brian this I recognize as well from my buddy Tim at Blue Angelica bushcraft I know what this one is guys this is a three-way wallet hahaha money in all of these three fold it up like that but a huge elastic band around it and never go in there here we have I don't actually know what's in it it's a nice little small wax canvas tim loves his wax canvas is very good at wax canvas items if you're into wax canvas this is what Tim's made and it looks like ah it's a bearing block for a bow-drill from the looks of it I would say and that bearing spin rounds so that's the bearing block I put my hand on and the spindle will spin there and it stops the friction reduces the friction so that's really neat it's got some cordage on it as well and it comes in its own little pouch thank you so much Tim so this is comes in a triangle but that it's canvas and actually what it does is it folds out and you lash three sticks together as a tripod pull it pull the sticks out but each corner of a stick in here and you've got yourself a stool like a bushcraft stool cordage for it that would be the cordage there around the middle sticks yes so you store the cordage in the pocket all right pull it up nice and small and you've got yourself a stool I will show you in a video scene thanks so much Tim onto the last the last gift after the unboxing another channel that you and your dad have created ta outdoors I am retired and I live in Ohio my dad has always been a woodworker and he inspired me to be woodworking also even though it is not the same type of wood work he does I do scroll I do scroll saw work and he does mostly bandsaw and furniture repair work your cabin build really connected with me because your foot your father and you were bonding like my father and I have done over the years it is really cool to see a father and son doing things that they enjoy together I made this with your father and you in mine of course you can do what you want with it but I think it would look great in your pallet cabin on the wall somewhere no matter what you decide to do with it I will keep watching your boat and your father's videos take care and give Jax a treat for me that is amazing obviously made in the USA 58 doors it's my logo with the ax and it says Mike Mike pullin Graham and Jack and he did say with Jack at the end he says on his note PS sorry about screwing up Jax's name I made this before I noticed I did not spell it correctly well it doesn't matter because the thought that goes into it and it's got a wall it's got a warm out there so that I won't be putting that in the cabin because it's too nice to put but thank you so much that's really kind what a gift this is from Tony by the way Tony pizza so Tony thank you so much really appreciate it so they just cook three things that I forgot from - a lovely couple at the bushcraft show gave me this

it's called camp I have used it already because I got given it at a bushcraft show it's really cool and what it is is chicory and coffee essence you just add this two or three teaspoons to warm milk or you could use warm water and it just makes basically coffee like straight up where it's from very cool yeah and also a gentleman at the bushcraft show kindly gave me a spoon that he'd started carving but he's not quite finished and he just said that I can have it and I thought that was really nice it's a really work really well made spoon actually it's not called a spoon there's not a name for it a contramar what it's called it's for sleeping style know that style there's another name for it but thank you so much I really appreciate it it's very kind gift so I did say the beginning of the video that this would be easy last unboxing video the reason being is because couple of reasons actually because when I started doing these videos the unboxing ones basically companies jumped on board of my P o box companies sent me so much stuff loads of stuff didn't and it the problem was that they were sending me these they're companies they're big huge corporations sending me this gear hoping that I would just give them free publicity now yes you could argue uh what might why don't you just not film that gear the problem is is I had customs charges big customs charges coming through with all these big heavy items or import I was sending them now obviously I could have just not paid to custom choices and it would have got sent back but the problem is is they were quite sneaky and they would make it look like it was a subscriber gift so I paid the customs charges to then realize that I'd been sent a load of rubbish from a company right and I'd yeah blatant product jumping in on there on the views on the YouTube so sadly the the the PIO box did just get hammered by companies night it was costing me a lot of money yeah yes from postal charges and customs charges and you're never gonna know who the googly eye was no no doing handwritten letters and everything that was the main reason I can't keep unboxing videos going because you know I just I don't know who's the good guys who's the bad guys as such and I was just paying

for money and it was a bit demoralizing for me knowing there's amazing gifts coming and it wasn't so amazing because it was it wasn't so personal it's just yeah it's really sad so sorry that's probably the main reason the other reason is I got so many incredible gifts from you but I can't use them all there's there's simply just too many sometimes and I don't want it to get to a stage where I get given these amazing incredible gifts from you and I and I get to a point where I can't use them you know and it's just not it's just left there and sat on the side and that would be unfair on you going through the efforts writing letters and sending me things like that so that's the reason why we're not doing it hopefully hopefully you do understand and you can kind of sympathize why we're not doing it that's it really for this video we are here at a pallet cabin site we've not been here much over the summer because we've been so busy the weather it's been incredible yeah dad I mean that's gone and done that you've been fishing load 70 a fishing your seat that's made be making monster movies like really nice full-length movies like out on his boat on his own doing overnight as in his boat on its own fishing on the ocean my really good quality movies and you have to do it while the weather is good don't you absolutely I've been doing sort of push back from the boat overnight yeah you don't miss it it's really good I'll put a link to that channel in the description below but it's is it really this place we we only really like coming here together don't we because we built all of this together as the de palette which is the recycle palette and stuff so you know we kind of don't want to come here or on our own I know I do a few times I come here on my own a decent maven Ida's all just come round on my own but really we've just been so busy so so busy we've just not had the time to come here and make videos and make the pallet with cabin videos you know we've missed out on growing the vegetables and things this year yeah we were going to do the spring vegetables at the end of the day the whole project was is about me and dad spending time together and what what you can really do with pallet wood and how you can recycle as much as you can and spend as little money as you can on doing it you know we never never came here to complete to live completely off grid that was never the plan in the first place fun it is off grid there's no electricity which is so no water you know we're just experimenting and seeing what we can do and we are learning along the way putting a pallet together a part it's the hardest part and then just generally maybe next year or something we might give it a go at building it a bit more homesteading and getting the crops go pretty the autumn of getting the vegetables and things maybe some winter vegetables we might try you can tell from some of the letters that you've written that we have inspired some of you to get out there and just enjoy the outdoors and that's what it's all been about it's been a fun father-and-son project and we're very grateful that you've followed us and those who have subscribed for the pallet wood cabin staff we are very grateful for that we haven't given up on it we would definitely be back to doing more pallet with stuff it just might be a couple of weeks yet until we do come back here cuz we're both making the most of the weather dad's doing a lot of fishing I'm now going on a bit more kind of trips and camping things and a bit more bushcraft so you know we just we just drifted a bit from it but it's not it's not over it's not finished we've got actually some good pallet projects coming up in our minds that we're gonna do don't forget dad's got his fishing channel ta fishing there's a link in the description below thank you so much to everyone who sent gifts over the months we really appreciate it I'm very grateful the dads also very grateful and really it's the impact that we've had on you that's been the most important thing to us not so much the gifts but also the letters isn't it and the personal impact that we've made comments the comments in the videos as well as has been very very supportive and we've had some quite touching words some people that are not in such a fortunate position as ourselves or even yourselves and there are people out there some people who have had a very very profitable time yeah and they've said how we've helped them to overcome some serious life problems and that's that's what it's all about what it's all about

so thank you for watching this I appreciate it was kind of a lengthy maybe not so entertaining video there's some really great ones coming up I appreciate your views and I will see you soon in the next episode you
