That tank bag is absolutely ridiculous😂

Nice. Will it teach you how to do wheelies?

Great straight forward and honest review. May you have many more useful years ... Who needs to spend 3x more on a Dometic.

I totally agree that the Surge is too heavy. Bought on thinking it would be a better single choice item but found it way too heavy. I still bring it with me when outdoors but keep it in my carry pack….I might go back to the Wave as that was my favourite wife gift until someone broke into my truck……thanks for another great vid!!

That looks sweet. Good navigation and hands-free. Nice job MICHAEL.

Thank you.

I've been edc carrying the surge for a couple years now. I just put a pocket clip on it and clip it in my left pocket in my pants. That's if I'm wearing my cargo pants which are pretty heavy like carhartts. If I'm wearing jeans or shorts (like 10 days a year) I carry something smaller, lately that's been a sog flash which is like a skeletool but has a D2 blade which I like and it was cheap off ali express. Before the surge I carried my beloved wave for years, but it fell out of my pocket because I just had it dangling off the pocket of my riding pants after using it for something out riding dirt bikes. Rode away like an idiot with it just dangling there, never saw it again. The surge has an awl that's missing on the wave, which I liked and used a lot, plus the handles were more comfortable than the wave using the pliers. Even before all of that I carried a skeletool for a few years, but I broke the pliers right off just twisting a cotter pin out one day. I bought another one but got sick of how much it hurt my hands squeezing on things with the pliers which I use the most on multitools. At least once a month I crushed the callous on my hand at the base of the index finger when the pliers slip and snap shut, pinching the hand between the protruding back side of the blade, and opposite handle coming together. Blood blister every time. I also forayed into the dark world of Amazon clone wave, and surge multitools. Read all these great reviews about them. Bought them both at the same time and what a disappointment. The wave clone was like $30 and it was worth about $10, all loose and floppy, felt like I could break it with one hand just pushing the knife blade out with the thumb. I returned that one and kept the surge clone because it seemed a little better. I carried it about a week, broke the flat screwdriver, kept using it through the beginning of camping season and organically just revolved back to the surge and now I don't know where the clone is anymore. Good enough to throw in the trunk of the quad or something though.

I’ve been on a leatherman journey of my own, started with the wave, I have 3 of those, awesome tool, then I acquired a skeletool cx, very nice tool if you mainly need a knife, then I bought a supertool 300 which has basically the same capabilities as the surge but weights only 8 ounces instead of 12 with the surge? I recommend it for work and hard use, it’s served me well. Then I got a pst 2 which is a great tool. And my most recent purchase is a charge ti which is a fancy wave. I’ll be getting a surge soon. I love the comfort of the wave with the large super tool pliers. I believe the surge is the ultimate hard use leatherman. I also have the squirt ps4 key chain pliers and a style cs. All this to say, if you like the surge but not the weight get a wave or charge. But if you need to longer tools and big pliers but don’t like the weight get the super tool 300. lol take care !

Really looking forward to your new camping videos wondering were they are

Although we appreciate these videos, please get back to more camping videos with the dogs

I find the surge a bit big for urban EDC, but when I head outdoors it works well. I don’t like to belt carry for EDC. I find myself using a Gerber Dime and some sort of Swiss Army knife normally a huntsman or alox farmer X. I have the Arc and you can pocket carry it. But don’t know if it’s worth the price. Thanks for the review.

Thanks Michael - always enjoy your videos - if you’re ever in Maine I’d like to meet up - Thanks Again!

The original PST was and still is the best Leatherman in my opinion. Slim and not overloaded with crap you don't need

There is a reason the Wave is the most popular Leatherman and it sounds like you have touched all the bases.

Nice multi tool, however I prefer the SAK’s, for me they offer better quality and are not as clunky, as the leatherman tools….just my preference….

Thanks for the review. I would love to have a surge but can't afford it. Can't wait for another atv camp out or ride video. Thanks

Do you have a workshop manual for this?? Mine is cutting out. I suspect it's a fault in the magneto. But I don't know what specs the point need to be.

I think I can see why you named her Lizzy. She seems a bit short rather than Thin though. :P

is there no weight issue with the roof at all? though the capacity for the roof is 150lbs

Considering the lack of vapor showing when you were speaking, I doubt if it was as cold as you said.

Send the Signal in for warranty, they replace the spring. To screw on the Signal, I use it in the gun position. But you made an excellent purchase with the Surge, I have it, but it is not very heavy and large to carry it everywhere. If you want something lighter and smaller, the Wave is best.

Looks great Mike 👍😊

Looks like a fun set to have at camp. Thanks for the review.

Looks cool! I like the leather pouch too!

I’ve never really carved anything, but I do like to whittle while I sit by the fire sometimes just a weird thing I do. I’d love to actually make something one day, but I’m not as talented as you are. lol thanks for the review, MICHAEL cheers, my friend. Hope you are settling in well at your new/old stomping ground .

I have one of the 3pc carving kits I bought around 4-5yrs ago, I have nothing bad to say about it 🙂

Yes certainly a great gift but a good way to pass time during camping. Thanks Michael !

Thanks for the update. It’s hard to know what you want until you go down that road. Great vid. Thanks.

Thank you for this - you make these jobs look easy!

good job

Esme chilling under the toy hauler: Yes yes, hurry up and finish, I want some treats.

Michael, interesting that you bought the “submersible” lights package. Is this a foretelling of the places you might be subjecting the trailer to in the future? Good to see Esme supervising your work. Has she got the sufficient electrical trade qualification ticket to give her paw of approval?

Yes toy haulers are the way to go. 22-23' long enough to live in comfortably. Boy driving further than an hour ..gets old. I would never have bought a new jeep, or a ktm high maint, high seat height m/c, Toy hauler, sideby side, rice burner-tw200-fun, suzuki dr650-distance are my favs...and inflatable paddlers or kayaks, for the summer.

Looks Great

was the video thumbnail AI generated?

💯 excellent

Nice,but mabe is too much near at hot terminal ?

I’m really happy for you making the changes that hopefully make you happy. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Have fun!!!

You so r have issues with rain collecting on the cot? There’s a gap between the tent ants the cot? Necermins

Hey Michael--love your Jeep Overlanding set-up. I have the same set-up that I am installing on my 2003 Jeep TJ Rubicon. I already have the reinforced Highlander hardtop thru Bulldawg Mfg. This is a new overlanding hardtop that requires no metal reinforcement brackets or exoskeleton to hold all the weight. I also purchased the Rhino rack with quick release mounts, & batwing 270 awning. Just got the hardtop installed last week and will be assembling and mounting the rhino rack and awning in the coming weeks. iKamper 3.0 mini will follow by end of year when I get some money. My question (brought up by another member with the same set-up on his JL). Did you flip the awning mount brackets to hang the awning lower than the tent so as to avoid the awning from preventing the tent to open fully. The JL owner had to do that and move it outward a little more to be able to center the iKamper on his rhino rack. Let me know how you mounted your set-up and any other things you had to consider--thanks, David

If that is 20 years old then it's been in a drawer for 20 years.

Congratulations Mike 🎉👍😊🍻

You’re going to really like that one Mike 👍😊 it’d be my first choice if I were to buy a new motorcycle 🍻

I got a bag I'm 5.3 and it fits ok. I sleep hot so just the first layer is fine for me. At 12°c

This is amusing to me, no disrespect intended. But this is a case of being spoiled by too many options. I have been a blue collar working man for over 20 years. I've never owned a Leatherman until now. I've never needed one. If you are being "driven mad" by a multi-tool's philps driver not being centered, then you are missing the point of these tools. They are meant for being used in a pinch (ie. They do many jobs, but do them poorly). That's the nature of the beast. The Signal is an excellent tool for the outdoorsman that already has all these tools and knows how to use them. Especially the ferro rod, you need to he proficient at their use before thinking the little ferro rod on the tool itself is going to save your ass one day. The hammer is excellent for tenderizing a grouse breast or another cut of meat. The serrations (something I entirely avoid on all my knives) is actually useful on this tool for cutting off fish heads, cutting through cordage or rope, perhaps an emergency seat belt removal. I honestly can't think of a better set up for its intended use: A woodsmans backup with a set of pliers. Just knowing I'll always have a ferro rod attached to me is huge. Highky unlikely I'd be caught without a lighter and/or a proper ferro rod. However it is an added piece of mind. As a fellow British Columbian, my only gripe is it doesn't come with a Robertson bit. That would be the only change I'd make as i come across that screw head far more often than Philips. Anyway, in short, I think you just chose the wrong tool for you and that there isn't a dang thing wrong with the Signal.

nice sale price, Michael. Stay safe and stay cool

Nice, have an awesome time. ✌️

Hi Michael, nice bike. Think it’s the same model Itchyboots uses on her travel adventures. 😎🇬🇧

The suspension……
