I like the way you explain your techniques for carving the notches.

Thanks for the video, it was great! Just a dislaimer, you're not allowed to camp on the shores of Denmark, camping is only allowed in designated "free camping" areas. :-D

Great video as always! Thank you! Just want to mention that it isn't easy to determine if people you see on a distance need help or not. A known signal for "need help" is creating the V over your head with your arms. Likewise the signal for "don't need help" is to lower one of your hands, creating a backslash with your arms (\) . In addition Search And Rescue in some countries use mobile phone signals for tracing missing people. If possible turn on your phone and make sure it isn't in flight mode when you can hear the helicopter, even if there is no mobile coverage in the area. (Inreach, Recco transponders, Active avalanche beacons make good additions to the toolkit in some cases too.)

Another great informative video. I keep my Jervernduk signal panels (fortunate to have 3) on most of my trips , especially during autumn & winter. During summer/winter it’s easy for the kids to find camp, when they go exploring a bit. Greetings from Norway

The worst knife. The pins are in the wrong place. The worst I have seen in an industrial knife, it is a disgrace to Helle.

Thank you great vidio

Thank you Joe, great topic. Great material.

Hey mate that's good stuff. I have a few panels I've made up using the Disco Pink and Hi viz yellow and each panel is 2m x 1m so you only need 3 to make the 3m "V" sign by folding one at 90' for the point and it'll give you one leg yellow and one leg pink. For here in Australia if in the open outback is to create a tinsel tree by shredding up a mylar sheet and hanging it off a tripod frame. This will glitter in the wind and look like a mirror ball firing off beams in all directions, a good passive signal. AS for whistle blasts I was always told that it was 6 blasts with a single blast as a reply. This was based on the UK mountain rescue and only seems to be endemic to the UK and that the 3 blast is international. Took me a while to change my mind set once I moved to Australia. Swampy.

Brilliant video , thx for sharing

Great straightforward video and a really good kit

Great Video! Blaze orange is the definitive go-to for most folks. When hunting or travelling, I always have a panel with me. However, for some colour-blind people, shades of red or orange appear as grey. Hence, as you mentioned, blue is a great colour to carry. Research has shown that shades of blue hovering around the shades that the United Nations (peace-keeping units) use are the best and stand out in most lighting conditions. I find at certain times of the year, across the Northern Boreal forest, orange blends into the flora (mainly in autumn). Especially when I have been searching for people in a helicopter. Consequently, I carry blue flagging tape and normally have several items of clothing that are a very "bright" blue. My emergency shelter is often blue. Here in Canada, we also will use three gunshots to signal distress. What adds some confusion to the rule of three is that in some parts of Europe, they instruct people to blow their whistle six times for a distress signal. Hence, when you purchase a backpack manufactured by Deuter from Europe, you will see on the panel that they have sewn into the inside of their packs that they instruct you to blow a whistle six times when you are in distress and answer a distress call with three blasts. Many of my students have these packs, and it does cause confusion in my lessons.

Fantastic channel this is 🎉

This is great information. Thanks for sharing!

That knife is stunning, had to tell myself not to since I just bought a Fallkniven NL5 earlier this month

Titan Survival make a mylar blanket with the orange and pink vs17 signal panel colours.

Good video, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !

I am 100% on board with any series regarding signaling and safety while lost and stressed, especially stressed. Part of my signal kit is a few instant coffee packets. I can't remember exactly but I think it was from an old SAS dude, but he said, "Step one is make a cup of tea, and step two is make a plan."

Interesting stuff! I'd like to see a video on signal fires Joe! Thanks. Did anybody ever tell you you talk awfully fast? I'm already gasping for breath just by listening to you. ATB from Flanders!

1st lol good vid Joe 👍🏼

Only thing about it is most people in the sort of weekend-to-week hiking category maybe don't need a blade of this size for what they usually end up doing. If the main function is a bit of food prep, camp related activity and basic bushcraft a longer wider blade can even be a bit counterproductive. If you're going to be building stuff or doing more extensive wood processing, maybe what you really need is something other than a knife, like a small axe, hatchet or folding saw. I dunno - I am a little bit on the fence about these sort of medium range size knives, I personally prefer a smaller blade, like a standard classic mora or the Helle Wabakimi which I keep coming back to for some reason, combined with a moderately sized parang machete, and maybe sometimes a small folding saw, for what I do - it seems to strike a decent balance between weight and utility. I'm not knocking this kind of knife, I see how it can have its applications in the sort of inbetween-do-most things-decently-allround range which is what it appears to be designed for. My point is just that maybe the use many people make of their knife is not even that broadly "allround" and if its a matter of accidentally finding oneself in a survival situation where the scope of "allround" suddenly widens, then maybe one should have thought a little bit more ahead before entering an environment where that kind of longer term actual survival might be on the menu - in terms of equipment. Conversely - to carry one big do-it-all-sort-of tool at all times, just in case its suddenly somehow the only thing you're left with out there, seems perhaps a bit excessive. Whenever you go down in size and weight for one item, you free that space and weight allowanced to add some other item, that might come closer to the job in mind. And the more emphasis you put on one supertool the more super-fucked you are if you then lose or break that anyways. The closest I come to that is like the regular Jaakaaripuukko 110 which is a bit smaller than this buthonestly even that seems a bit too big at times. Can I split wood with it? Sure, I guess, but why would I if I have a tool built for the job? If it was my only tool would I risk hammering on it in a survival situation or use it to violently pry shit apart with? Probably not if I could help it in any way ... And in terms of food prep - I never quite got how that is a major consideration. If you are carrying enough food of a size and type that it needs actual prepping, you're probably on a different weight allowance that a standard hiker or long term trekker to begin with - in which case you probably could just bring a small cheap IKEA kitchen knife. They weigh next to nothing and if you scale your camp knife down to a useful size - you free up that weight for sure. For me - I wont be carrying steaks or carrots or apples around for a month or two at a time so - my kitchen things is a dedicated fishing filet knife, because fish is what i live off when I am out and I am just not gonna fuck around with an only moderately adaptable knife for large amounts of fish processing on a daily basis getting it all gunked up with scales, slime and blood with mostly only the nearby salty sea to clean it in. Just simple plastic and a slim stainless steel blade for that, no allrounding please. I don't process game so I don't know whats practical for that - it seems to me many people do that with smaller but dedicated blade types too for added control, but maybe a bigger curvier, non-scandi typ blade can be nice for that I wouldnt know - then again, thats probably not what most hikers do, and its one of those jobs where you also dont want too much "allround" crude approximation I suspect. I should add the context for these considerations are mainly summer time, arctic, seaside, mountain or tundra type terrain, without much in the way of dense forest. It's a beautiful knife though and probably very good at what its meant to generally do ... I guess my only question is - do you yourself actually do all that? Personally I don't think I do - or at least not in that one-tool way.

Hey im planning to march through scandinavians natute for round about 3 days with sleeping in nature im searching for a companien to join me

Where did you got with flat grind? I see only with scandi..

Very nice products, but 430€ for all stuffs it's to expensive. Especially since wild life is also synonymous with improvisation and economy

The video is 3 years old. I just came across it and love the Silky. I wonder if 2025, there is a new version or if I need one, I have to buy this one from 2022.

Love your videos, only 3 in. But happy that I found them. Straight to the point and modular thinking like myself. Cheers mate

Where is your backpack from?

The Corporal corner sent me. To you.

I watch each of your videos multiple times. Time well spent. Thank you Joe.

Had to subscribe. Well put together for your adventures and formed by experience rather than online forums or videos. I feel you'd make our ancestors proud.

"I roll with the confidence"😂

Enjoyed your video very much. A man’s belt pouch is quite a personal development so I’ll reserve any armchairs criticism. One suggestion though. Here in mc’merica since weed has basically been “decriminalized” in most states people sometimes buy stainless or titanium “tea canisters” from Amazon. Not much to them really. For your pouch I’d probably get a 3 inch diameter by 6 inches in height. Maybe 7 inches if you could find it. A cylinder with a screw-on lid. In the suggested size it could hold 2-2.5 cups of water. Ergo it could boil the same. In a pinch it could also offer additional water conveyance as the kids screw on tightly and you could put the dry contents in the pouch. I’m a big fan of cross loading capabilities throughout one’s pockets, on the belt and a neck lanyard with magnetic clasp. But that’s another comment

This tent has comtinued to be fantastic! We have added a further 50mm of self inflating mattress and it remains comfortable and completely waterproof. Have you been using yours? Cheers

You guys are awesome. Love that you guys show the bloopers. Shows the truth of the people in front... and behind😉, the camera. Leave the egos to the side and just have a laugh while educating.

😂😂

Class act 😂

You two are a crack up. Enjoy your videos.😂

Happy New Years to you both 💚💚

Ok ok, Keep the channel Christian 😂 Good laughs in nature just perfect 🎉 Greetings from Norway

Great review,what coat are you wearing?

Fuel in the flask is a great idea! Cool kit

Spot on information for anyone looking for the finer tips for friction fire. Thanks for sharing your immense knowledge Joe! 🔥 #keepitburning Brother.

Just watched all 3 back to back, something new to learn in them all for me.

Where is that backpack from?

It looks like a kitchen knife but I’m American, our hunting knives look a little different.

You won me at "this a 12hr comfortable to 24hr inconvenience kit". I love the adaptability.
