Ben Banter's - October 31, 2025

Hello everyone, and welcome to this edition of Ben Banters.

This week, Ben is in Montana trekking about and answering your questions. He also spends a little time in Idaho - which leads us to believe that he is either in possession of a teleportation device or has mad good video editing skills.

Either way.....

LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!

Challenge: What Did You Fix?

A couple of episodes ago, Ben fixed a door on a shelter - and in doing so, asked you to fix something and then share it with him. What you folks came back with was great!

The Broad Water

Wander around with Ben while he fjords a bit of water barefoot. Here he'll answer some questions and share some facts.

Question: Our friend Flavio has questions about patents

Fun Fact: 250 Little Lulu's were shipped on October 17th

Another Fun Fact: We just got in another new toy to help us make more stuff here!

Eagles and Silex and Bears, Oh My!

You never know who or what you'll bump into in the great outdoors - but you always know what you don't want to bump into. Unless it's from afar.

Fun Fact: That new toy we just got in is an Enoveas Silex 5. Have a Google with that one!

Comment: All $2 bills aren't the same, unless you're just having fun.

Comment: @zachstuff really liked the Kershaw / Zero Tolerance Episode of K@N.

Question: @sethtaylor3917 has questions about where things are made.

Comment: @joeeasterling5652 is enjoying Ben being outdoors.

Side Quest: Rigby, Idaho

Ben stops in the land of potatoes to hide some goodies near the Snake River. In the dark. While it's raining. We're starting to get the feeling that time and weather have no impact on our curly-haired friend.

Neither do directions...

What's in the package of goodies Ben is burying (while Elk are singing in the background):

A Lander 6
Blade Show Goodies
A signed 8x10 glossy of Ben
That last one is not true

Challenge: Go outside and find the places and spaces that challenge you, make you get up early, and be uncomfortable! Send us those things you did. We would love to hear all about them.

Back to Montana

We're back with Daytime Ben in Montana. Even at 8,000 feet, there's no snow left on the trees, but you can see it covering the landscape in the background.

Challenge: Go out and explore somewhere outside - and share those with us too. It doesn't have to be a trail - it could be a new neighborhood, a cool building. Ben just wants you to stretch your legs and grow a little where you can.

Comment: @Mysmi accepted Ben's challenge to fix something.

Comment: @guillaumeayral2146 wants to buy a Lander 5 France.

Fun Fact: The Lander 5's have landed. We're one step closer!

A Lake Appears

Ben's been heading to Kersey Lake, and so has a bear. But how does Ben know they're bear tracks? Why, by using the Sancho Pen to measure them, of course!

Comment: @haveaknifeday6253 has some interstellar knowledge of Ohio.

The Muddy Bog

Ben's coming back down the mountain and is dropping some real gems of knowledge on the way. We're not going to write them all down - we want you to experience them as he says them.

Fun Fact: The Bit Driver Grande is coming sooner than you think.

Another Fun Fact: So is the Sancho Pry Bar!!!!

Comment: @DeanMD77 is thinking the same thing we're all thinking.

And There You Have It!

This was a fantastic banter if we do say so ourselves! Getting to hear Ben get enthusiastic about stuff and then wax poetic is really something we need. I mean that. Having known Ben for a while, it's always a joy to get him on a roll and listen to some of the wisdom he shares. Thanks, buddy. This one feels good.
