2026 is here - and instead of “reinventing myself,” I’m doing what actually matters: refining my kit, planning real-world training, and letting experience drive decisions.
In this video, I break down:
The gear that proved itself in 2025 and earned a permanent place in my kit
New gear and ideas I’m testing for 2026
Big events and classes coming up this year
Products I’ve been quietly designing in the background
I also introduce a new concept for the channel: The Random Task Generator.
Here’s how it works: I’ll take 10 viewer comments, select one at random without seeing it first, and whatever task is suggested—I have to complete it using only what’s in my kit and the resources around me in the woods. No prep. No do-overs. Just problem solving.
This video is a look back at what worked, a look ahead at what’s coming, and a simple goodbye to 2025—followed by getting back to work in 2026.
Drop your task ideas in the comments. You might be the reason I’m cold, tired, or learning something the hard way.
