if you are a seasoned outdoorsman then you already know that choosing the right equipment is essential when putting your pack together you will understand the grueling demands of the wilderness and most of all you will have a respectful appreciation for nature and know that sometimes your equipment can be the difference between life and death when the lead engineer of survival archery systems started developing the SAS tactical survival mode he was already aware of the need for equipment that was properly engineered having survived a near-death experience in which his knowledge of the outdoors together with some well chosen critical equipment and literally saved his life he set about developing a product for food acquisition it would possibly one day do the same for someone else having spent a lifetime growing up in the woods and having spent 15 years as an automotive and petrochemical engineer he set about developing a set of requirements which encapsulate the eight critical aspects of a survival bow that you should look for in a premium product these critical aspects led to a design which was launched after two years of development and testing and now the SAS tactical survival bow is sold to technically the morning people all over the world who understand the need for premium equipment package spoiling is critical to a compact design and to overcome the need to strap your bow to the outside of your pack it absolutely must be 21 inches or under when in transport mode the SAS tactical survival bow comes in at that all critical length of 21 inches it even fits into most one-day packs in order to get a bow that does not stack and is still efficient you need to have the right limb to rise a ratio as well as the right overall in designing a 60 inch long bow with a carefully chosen limb to riser ratio gave the SAS tactical survival boat this perfect balance and bow that does not stack all the way past 31 inch draw for long-term survival purposes it is crucial that all working parts of a bow are fully corrosion resistant and so survival archery systems chose marine grade materials throughout the only part of the bow that is not fully corrosion resistant are the all-important eye tensile steel limb retaining bolts which were chosen to give an extremely high factor of safety in the field and only require a light layer of animal fat or oil to remain in perfect condition durability is key for a survival bow and so during the development the engineers employed what is called design for infinite life which basically means that the theoretical design is capable of withstanding 500 million shots at 31 inch straw going a step further some hefty safety factors were added to ensure a superlight bow that will last more than a lifetime in a composite limb with a through-hole is prone to cracking around that hole unless it is properly secured using a correctly talked bolt and washer system the SAS tactical survival bow makes use of a positive limb retention system to ensure the limbs remain safe and secure in the field having a compact bow is important but having a solution to store your arrows is critical to your choice of a well-rounded product the patented SAS tactical survival bow is the only bow in the market that allows for a storage solution of arrows inside the riser and this comes at no additional cost to space to reduce pack weight and ease of use and maintenance-free and truly ambidextrous bow that requires no changing of parts are the last two critical aspects of a great survival bow the SAS detector has evolved Oh is the only truly ambidextrous survival bow on the market and requires no tools to maintain it or convert it from left to right hand simply place an error Istanbul adds of the riser and swap it between hands if you are looking for a premium survival bow that captures these eight critical elements then look no further than the SAS tactical survivable to meet the specific critical aspects spiral archery systems exceptional gear for exceptional people if we're lucky most of us can take water for granted turn on the tap and there it is but what if that changed hurricanes earthquakes all sorts of other disasters natural or man-made can leave us vulnerable water is vital to survival emergency prep kits should have three days of drinking water per person but if you need more what can you do for safe drinking water would you be prepared for a disaster an emergency a desperate situation even if that desperation is just about getting in touch with nature whether you're prepping an emergency kit or going for a hike Puri so is an easy to use and dependable water purification system that's an important yet inexpensive investment to make the Puri so water purification bottle filters and purifies water by removing a variety of contaminants bacteria protozoan cysts and particulates and it reduces viral chemical and heavy metal content simply place the bottles Inlet into the freshwater source and pump water is drawn through the hollow fiber membrane and carbon filter resulting in purified water close off the inlet flip it over unscrew the pump handle and sit directly from the 410 milliliter purified water reservoir contaminated water never enters this chamber or save in a separate bottle so you can purify even more water the replaceable filter can process up to 1,000 liters the pure reso water purification bottle is great for hiking emergencies and for travel to places where you might not be so sure of the local water quality with the funds we raise from our Kickstarter campaign we'll be able to complete the final steps needed and bringing pure reso to market hey it's Andrew with outdoor gear TV today we're reviewing the Olli camp ion Micro Titanium stove this is the lightest and most compact canister stove on the market let's go over some of the features and then I'll talk about performance after that the ion micro measures one and a quarter inches by two inches requires manual ignition and weighs in at just 1.5 ounces it's made from titanium with stainless steel pot supports and fits universal screw on fuel canisters of butane propane mixtures the design is set to spread out the flame for heat distribution and will output just under 9,000 BTU resulting in a boil time of four and a half minutes so my first impression of this stove was obviously the size it's really hard to put it in perspective but at just one and a half ounces this stove weighs about the same as a single hiking sock and that's not the pair that's just one mid top hiking sock a while back we reviewed the kinetic ultra titanium from all camp and we thought this was small but when you see them together it really puts it in perspective we have a lot of fun testing out this stove mostly just to see what it can do my first time cooking with it I cooked an entire spaghetti dinner for two people and while it did take a little bit of extra effort it's just amazing that it could be done in the first place the pot supports are nice and strong especially considering their size and although I wouldn't recommend it it did easily support a 1.8 litre pot full of water the valve is amazingly precise allowing you to really dial down that flame until it's barely visible likewise when you crank it up it's like a rocket of heat the only downside is that because it's so exposed you'll waste some fuel so take some time to really build up a good windscreen to maximize that efficiency all in all I think this stove is amazing it surprises me every time that I use it and if you're a backpacker I would highly recommend it be sure to head on over to our website for the full written review thanks for watching it's been Andrew with outdoor gear TV get
