    You know what they say about opinions 🤣

  • @outdoorsonthecheap
    @outdoorsonthecheapКүн бұрын

    What about arguments? Opinion: Definition: An opinion is a personal belief, feeling, or thought about a particular subject. It is subjective and reflects what someone thinks or feels. Basis: Opinions can be based on personal experiences, preferences, or beliefs. They do not necessarily require evidence or reasoning. Expression: Opinions are often expressed using phrases like "I think," "I believe," or "In my view." Example: "I think vanilla ice cream is the best flavor." Argument: Definition: An argument is a reasoned statement or series of statements intended to persuade others that a particular position or conclusion is valid. It is more structured and objective. Basis: Arguments are supported by evidence, facts, and logical reasoning. They require justification to be convincing. Structure: Arguments typically include a claim (the main point), evidence (supporting data or reasons), and a warrant (the connection between the evidence and the claim). Example: "Vanilla ice cream is the best flavor because it has a simple, classic taste that appeals to a wide range of people, as evidenced by its consistent popularity in surveys and sales data." Key Differences:

    I neck carry a Mora Eldris from time to time. Works great. IMO it’s best to select your knife and carry style tailored to your clothing, kit, and intended activity each trip. If I neck carry my short Eldris I’m definitely bringing a folding saw like a Silky Pocket Boy or Laplander (I have leather belt sheaths for both). It’s all about how the kit fits together for me. I don’t like a crowded waist area so I’m not putting a knife AND a saw on my belt.

    You make fair points, but lets be realistic...whats the reason you are out in the woods anyways? It certainly isnt survival its for fun. batoning is fun. That is literally all the reason you need. Not only that but batoning will allow you to make a fire without any smoke. Notice when you burned all that bark you had tons of smoke.

    Batoning is about as fun as splitting wood - it's a chore. The idea of it being fun is a marketing trick - they convince you its fun so you'll buy a ridiculous indestructible knife. They convince you its necessary so you'll buy the ridiculous indestructible knife. They convince you that guys who don't like ridiculous indestructible knives are wimpy girly men so you'll buy the ridiculous indestructible knife. And so on and so on.

    Skill will outway the tool every time. I practice and teach both primitive skills and modern survival skills. I DONT NEED a knife. I just like the luxury of having it. Ive never needed to baton. I do baton sometimes. Usually because of laziness. I didnt grab enough kindling, or tinder. So i split down smaller stucked that i have. Ive only ever batoned a "log" which i define as something bigger than my forearms, a couple of times. And that was just to see how well some of my longer tools like my parang would do it. Usually if i do split. Its forearm size stuff. Like i said. Usually out of laziness or miscalculation

Using your recipe!!! My last thought was fish guts. What do you do with your fish guts? Do your fish guts end up in your garden? I’ve heard fish meal is an excellent fertilizer. I don’t remember you ever doing a video where you added fish guts to a garden bed. My guess is your concern with bears and raccoons.

    Thanks - yes one of these day's I'll film that. My favorite way to cook them is quite technical - but delish! Good idea for a video! You're right - its all about the bears. Sometimes I bury them in the garden, like 12" deep. Otherwise, they go in the freezer and are picked up on green-bin day. The smell of rotting fish is almost guaranteed to draw bears.

  • @kentonward97
    @kentonward97Ай бұрын

    I have used a neck knife and at times it is an ok way to carry it. I prefer to carry it as a belt knife. Main reason is that most backpacks have chest straps making a neck very cumbersome. I think people just end up with preferences. I also don’t like that it takes 2 hands to take it in and out. I know that the idea is to have the sheathe not so tight on the knife that it binds but I don’t like any knife loose in a sheathe. Now truth is eastern tribes of Native Americans did prefer neck knives. But a massive differences is that eastern tribes weren’t horse riders nearly as much as western tribes. Western tribes had their knives as belt knives. So there are arguments for either. It just comes down to preference. For belt knives I prefer just a sheathe that the knife just slides in not buckle or snap sheathes.
