Well, hello peoples. How you guys doing today?
I hope well. I'm doing pretty well.
Got to get out to the woods with my buddy Scout today.
That's good. I got a very cool giveaway to do today.
So, maybe a year ago, Malcolm wanted to send me, even more than that,
Malcolm wanted to send me some gear and I politely refused.
I just, I had what I had and I thought it was okay.
And then after a while, I saw some trip reports and saw some pictures
of some guys using these day rocks. I'm like, man, that's a sweet pack.
So I messaged him and said, okay, I'm down.
So, I did a few videos for him for his gear and all that stuff,
and I love that day rock he sent me, and I use it all the time,
I'm not getting rid of that thing, but the French trade bag I had,
the sling bag, they're just not my style, I just don't ever use sling,
one sling bags, ones that you kind of ride on the side there,
just not my style, I've never been into them, and I'm not still,
but I had one, he sent me one with all the gear that he sent me,
so it's been about a year, like I said,
and I messaged him the other day, I said,
Malcolm, would you mind terribly, I didn't want to offend him,
would you mind if I did a giveaway
and we'll give that French trade bag away?
He said, Joe, you do whatever you want with that stuff, it's yours.
I said, okay, cool, I'm going to do that.
And then he wrote me back and said, wait a minute,
I don't even offer that pack anymore, that bag anymore,
so let me send you what I do offer.
Let me send you an updated version, a whole big thing,
and you can do a giveaway with that.
I said, oh, that's cool, you don't have to do that, but whatever.
What I got in the mail was much more than I expected.
Let's get to the goods.
first up a dry bag this is a durable i'm going
to say waterproof water resistant at the least
nice brown coyote color dry bag the old roll top right
and clip close you can use this for
things i have one actually Malcolm made me one
a long time ago i use this for my camera bag
sometimes when i'm in a canoe i can put
my camera in there and strap that to the fort
you can use it for foodstuffs for putting
your Zebra Billy pot in so it doesn't get soot all
over anything, man. A million and one uses, right?
Durable, durable stuff too. I don't know what this
is. I have not looked at this yet.
I imagine this is a signal panel. Yep. So that's going to be his
signal panel. You can use it for a bunch of different stuff.
Has four attachments. Very cool.
A little drawstring with it. And what do we got here?
Oh, nice. A zipper pouch. Blaze orange. And
inside it's got that durable feel again.
I don't know if it's just the inside of the Cordura or
what oh sweet he's got these sweet camp life patches look
at the size of these patches i'm sorry
god i'm keeping one of these i'm not giving one away i'll give one away
but i'm keeping that one
you got a decent size the Hidden Woodsman patch as well
and these are all velcro back
right so this one is as well
this is a sick patch man really cool camp life in the wood in the
wilderness the hidden woodsman that's
a big detailed patch you got a business card some
some other stickers, some straps,
and you get to the main deal here, right?
So this is going to be another sling bag, like I said.
Clips to close it, and yeah, he did put it on.
This sweet axe carrier, and this is just a small axe.
You can put a bigger axe in there for sure.
But look at that, rides against your body
or you flip it around.
Let's put this thing on and see how it looks.
So you got a big strap, a big wide webbing strap on here
so it doesn't dig into your collarbone
when you have it slung over like that.
Cinch it up, bring her back down, obviously.
You got your ax loop like I was saying.
This thing is brand new.
This is the first time I put it on.
You have a ton of gear in there, man.
Swing it around when you need something.
He's got, oh, sick!
He's got a bright yellow inside to help you see things.
There's a pocket in there, maybe even for signaling,
and then a nice water-resistant zipper
in the front for a secondary pocket.
Oh, a third pocket.
So you have the one pocket, second pocket,
big pocket a pocket inside that you got a velcro patch here
or a place for a velcro patch there
well thought out design man if i had something
in it it'd be holding its rigidity a little bit
better too pretty cool nothing left
to do now but the rule is about
the giveaway i don't need
anything from you for me
this is not about me i don't want i don't need you to like this video
i don't need you to follow me on facebook follow me on twitter
or instagram anything like that
this is all about malcolm and his company
the hidden woodsman let's show him some love
okay when i asked him if he had any parameters
for this giveaway i'll read you his words exactly
he messaged me he says you have complete control
on the giveaway details if you can send people to
my youtube and facebook that would help that's it guys
if i can send you to his youtube and facebook
that would help it's not a small task
or it's not sorry it's not a big task it's a very small thing
to do especially if considering the amount
of gear you're going to get i don't know the price
of this stuff it's gotta be well over
a hundred dollars i would imagine american um yeah so maybe
this is what i'm asking you
to do you just don't necessarily even have to do it because i have no
way of knowing but if you're if you're an honest person
then you're going to do it go give him a
subscribe on YouTube right, go like his page
on Facebook, The Hidden Woodsman, again on YouTube is

I'm in, then I'm going to go through, I'll let it go
for two weeks, today is the 17th, I'll post this
today or tomorrow, I'll let it go for two weeks
um and then I'll go through the arduous process
I'm going through the comments and selecting a random number
selecting a number and then go to the random number generator
and give it away, so I'm gonna leave this open for the whole world
I'll ship it anywhere in the world. There's
no no reason why why people my UK followers can't get in on this

Tell him thanks for doing this giveaway
because he didn't have to do this

he discontinued, he doesn't make anymore
