My favorite is a semi Bowie that can be used as a spear and has added equipment that comes in either the sheath and fishing equipment. I've made custom sheethes for them to make different styles bush craft blades for different situations. The reason being they come in handy a lot! And I can throw any one because they're perfect balance!. I've got squirrels and rabbits a few times with a fast quick draw. And it's nice when you have something to cook while you hit traps.

BIG safety tip: use a sharp knife! It might seem counterintuitive, but when using a sharper knife you have to exert a smaller amount of force, increasing the amount of control you have over the knife. Also, a sharper knife means a cleaner cut means faster healing and smaller scarring.

Thank you for providing a full video of actual skills. Most other vids just talk about the skills in general and rarely demonstrate them. They are more focused on knife size and shape and steel types. They like to analyze brands and models and forgot about the actual techniques needed for bushcraft.

Yup! There's a reason for the Mora Knife being so popular among people all over the world. It's useful as a multi-tool. If you don't have the right tool, the Mora Knife can really save the day. Not the best tool, but the best allaround tool!

The cool thing about this video was not only did you demonstrate different ways to use the knife but you are also showing us how to make things. I have never seen anyone scraping binds our routes to make cordage.

one tip i learned is to bury the tip of your knife along with your charcloth into a stump, then use the flint to drive sparks down towards the charcloth. this way you reduce greatly the chance of an accident by no longer needing to hold the blade.

I agree. That's how I teach it also if you're using a fixed blade as steel with a flint. If you happen to have a carbon steel pocket knife (Opinel for instance) or a carbon steel folding saw you can keep them closed and use the spine as steel for the flint.

Nice to see one of Adrian Etheridges knives in action. Looks like its seen a lot of use.

Great stuff! I also watched the 5 setups for a tarp shelter you created and it was SO easy to follow along. Thanks so much for these videos.

One good tip for lighting fires FAST in seconds …I actually learned from the Royal British Marines. Keep a tampon in your fire kit, (I know weird right) tease it out till it’s a ball of cotton, place under your tinder shavings & use a bic lighter. It’s super fast & cheap & trust me your fire will be up & running in seconds. YES flint works well & every time as well. Also another ignition to help speed up the process - use your lip balm it’s Vaseline based so it’ll help give ignition faster as well. Just roll the tampon with a coating, tease it out . BOOM . Fire & tinder lit. Hope this helps.

I've read plenty about some of these methods, but I've never seen some of these done in a video before, and it was very cool to watch! Also, the majority of these skills are intuitive variations of skills I've already learned (i.e. the reverse feather stick method) Thank you for these, I subbed :)

The spine of the saw blade on a Victorinox swiss army knife is perfect for making sparks too.

I always love these videos Mike. I found your channel years ago from the tarp setup tutorial where you use the "stinky socks" as a bushcraft tool.

Very nice. Thank you. Like the opposite tree shavings. Makes sense.

I watch so many of these, I was not expecting to learn something. I do not always like surprises but thanks this was a good one.

Brilliant! Thank you!

This is my favourite 10 mins of KZread Bushcrafting.. 👍

THANKS for posting a well-paced video packed with useful knife projects.

For using the knife as a striker for the flint, could you make it safer/more comfortable by battening the blade into a small block (similar to how you did so for the draw-knife but across the length of the blade) to make a safer grip? Maybe the force would drive it out, and be more unstable than holding the knife directly, I do not know.

I can't wait to get back out in the woods been way too long now i do the same when I'm in the woods with my son thanks mick love the video as always stay safe and well

@lioneljonson161

Жыл бұрын

Hmmm now that’s got me wondering what you “resourcefully” might use such a knife for…….

The sappling cut works really really easy if you do it towards the bottom. A so, the heavier the bend, the less pressure it will take when cutting the outside of the bend. When clearing brush, I like to step on it and bend it over, then hit it with the machete. It will increase the side of wood that you can go through in one hit

The fire danger is so high in my local mountains (actually ALL of California). no fires are allowed, so no camping for me this summer. :( But I do love your instructional videos. I will store this knowledge with the rest of my gear until.... whenever it rains. Ha.

In an older video he uploaded, he recommended doing what he does which is talk to farmland owners. People who own a bunch of land with lots of forest on it. Tell them what you want to do and the purpose of your stay. He said that what he will often do is trade manual labor and help these people with their farm work in exchange for letting him use their land. Alternatively, you could plan a very long camping trip and build some different shelters with a group of people and then take it all down when the trip is over. I think either way the experience is 100% worth it and it is insane fun to be out in the woods building things like that. I hope I helped!

Really enjoyed this, thank you for the video. It’s taught me a lot, and some of the basic things like wood for fires etc.

A couple years ago I was building a campfire at an event, and for sake of space I didn't pack a hatchet, instead relying on my "utility" knife (Cold Steel Leatherneck SF, their version of a Ka-bar). For simplicity I was splitting pre-cut chunks of firewood into more manageable sizes using the same batoning technique shown here, something I was used to doing as a Boy Scout...but soon I drew a small crowd watching me because, despite the "outdoorsy" theme of the event, a majority of the attendees were "city folk" who had apparently never seen actual outdoor skills in use. To them it was like they thought I was using some sort of voodoo or something...

Batoning is the most discrediting thing a true bushcrafter can do. Just buy a camp axe and save your knife.

Excellent video! All of these methods are extremely helpful.

Super helpful, thank you!
