  1. Another "bushcraft knife" video where almost every technique demonstrated would be easier and more effective with a longer bladed combat knife that would only weigh a few ounces more. I guess when you insist on wearing your knife in a dangling sheath flopping all over the place that kinda limits the size of a knife you can carry.

  2. I don't understand ferro rods. Nobody is going to be relying on those as a primary fire starter when lighters exist. A small box of matches wrapped in plastic is all that is needed as a backup in your survival kit. And if you're somehow in a once-in-a-lifetime real survival situation where you need fire but have lost or exhausted both your lighters and matches, the bow drill method works very well and isn't that hard. I don't see what niche a ferro rod fills.

  3. Some great tips thanks, I wonder why you never mentioned how important that handle hole is for a safety thong or lariot to prevent losing or dropping your knife…
    Im worried about the casual way of utilising your knife.. to me, not respectfully enough. Speaking from experience. That point of the knife is extremely important and breaks off very easily.
    Splitting thicker sticks etc dont use and hammer the knife all the way, strat with the knife, then hammer wedges into the splint
    Then, splitting those sticks lengthwise, you cut towards yourself and your hand😮😮😮 extremely dangerous. Surviving is dangerous enough. You dont have to increase the risks of survival by injury.
    Those roots, let them lie or soak in water, makes tem more flexible. then strip and split.

  4. can I ask whose land you are working on? A friend bought a bit of forest which is inside a larger one for bushcrafting He was told not construct any permanent structures. Are your log cabins 'permanent'?

  5. Your videos are really good, and I'm rewatching them now. And I haven't posted anything about it yet, but I have a tip that I made on my own (half natural, half inspired by the zewihander): I made a half sheath for the knife, so I can hold the blade with ease, much better than a glove, or just roll it up leather like I used to, now I can use my normal mora as the mini one for sculpture. Very good, the half hem I made is simple, a leather wrap around, sewn with a teddy bear mending knot, but it could be the side knot that is used in simple hemming as well. This helps a lot for smaller notches, and a protection for the other thumb means it can be used without the slightest fear. (Fun fact: you can store the leather sheath inside the mora sheath, this is really cool, it doesn't take up any space and you won't lose it)
