great video mate! one question. what kind of leather cord you you use as a lanyard here? is its 4mm cord? thank you

Imo the Hultafors is better then the Granfors. I would even take Husqvarna over Gransfors. That's when Hults were crafting them. I can't say anything about the new Husqvarnas.

I own this knife and like the blade very much. I like the shape of the handle. Only wish it was slightly longer. I find it a tad short.

Like all the other comments I’ve been debating on which tent to get and your videos helped a ton. Thank you for the detail and your personal opinions! At least I’ll have a better idea of what I’m getting into now.

Hello thank you for the video. I just purchased the mini i need it for carving , I'm not sure if I made a mistake and should have purchased the bigger one . I wonder what do you think . I need it only for carving. Thank you

Name of the bell tent please?

Nice one 👍🏻 I pulled the trigger on a 5m 285gsm with stove hole from bell tent boutique yesterday. Looking forward to testing it out.

Sorry to trouble you again, you used brass fittings for the holes where stove flashing goes, do you have a link to where you got them please,

It's this a 4 season tent or just for summer?

5 min review of an hatchet. 4 min talking without the hatchet lol

Absolutely fantastic video mate, got a lot of important information. Looking forward getting our 5m bell tent and the recommended stove. Best of luck. 👍🏻

Great video. Thank you. I really like this knife, but it's very expensive compared to joker knives. Knives. I bought my first three joker knives and receive them this week. The best quality knife I've ever seen. Is it really worth buying a castrum?

I ordered Gstove including 17 items on 28 April 2020. Order No: 100 3089. Receipt No; 5174-2548-3554-0073. I received 1st shipment 8 items in April 2021. But The Gstove does not make shipments until now. I do not receive 9 items. The Gstove doesn't keep the promise. The Gstove is a bad company.

Lars Falt knife has an issue that keeps it from performing as a bushcraft knife should and that's it's thicker blade, which in combintaion with a scandi, more than 3mm is a "no no" The best bushcraft knives out there is the Skookum and it's slightly improved version made from Rob Evans. Now, if I could have a Mora Bushcraft Black, made with ballbearing steel at 60 hrc and instead of rubber, it came with matte finsih canvas Micarta handle, then I would be the happiest camper!! It's the handle desgin on that knife, that it adds so much better performance on some bushcraft tasks, that I've never seen on any other knife! What's your favorite knives?

I used mine for a couple of weeks and have only used it with fir so far and it somehow got a chip in the blade.

This tent or russian bear tent ?

Full tang has zero to do whether the knife will break while batoning. It only concerns the possibility of the handle slipping off while in use. Old school traditional is a partial insertion and gluing a handle to a partial tang. Old school glues not a lifetime job; it will need a repair. Modern epoxies can be a lifetime job if done correctly. Next is the full length “rat tail” tang which pokes out the back of the handle and is peened or threaded/ bolted. As to the longevity and ability to take abuse, I submit exibit A: the Kabar Fighting Knife of WW2. Nuff sed… “Full tang”: the steel runs from tip to pomel with 2 slabs of material or cordage to fatten and comfy up the handle. When done wrong, these slabs will fall off the knife or become loose resultant of the shock caused by batoning (Aint physics fun). Now we get to the important part: a broken knife typically breaks at the BLADE, which is a result of abuse and/or poor tempering of the blade. A hard edge keeps its edge but if you dont have a softer spine the metal cannot handle the vibrations caused by batoning and thus you get a broken knife. I hope this clears things up a bit, please stop spreading the falsities of tang types. Please cjoose to walk in the light of knowledge

I have the 6m and love this tent works great for deer camp at are camp there is ten guys in cots and plenty of room for other stuff.the only thing I found bad about this tent when it's folded down in the nice bag I weigh 110 pounds

Hello it's still a great knife, I sewed a piece of leather of the same color on the side for a firesteel, I found (for me) that it was missing greetings

Hello Which products do you use for the sheath and the dangler please? greetings luigi

I have been looking at the Casström knifes, especially at Lars Falt and the SFK NO 10. Have really wanted own them. But not long ago I got my hands on the ”Nieto Terrano Scandi” with N690co and curly birch. Bushcraft perfomance is stunning and it feels elegant and nimble despite having a 4 mm thick blade. Fit and finish is amazing. Super-well made, sharpening is a zero grind scandi and spine is crazy sharpe. Good ergonomics, but not for a person with very big hands. Sheath must be markets best quality sheath.

Shame inside wasn’t shown

So would you go for the Casstrom No. 10 next time? Or the woodsman?

Thank you for the tip on removing the flashing kit before packing to prevent damaging the tent! I have been thinking of adding one and I know I would just have packed it away with the tent without a thought 🤦🏾‍♂️. Your videos helped me pull the trigger on a 5m a few months ago. I appreciate you!

Thumbs up

Oh snap haha. I never saw this! Great stuff dude!

Just worry about that eyelet around chimney hole will provent flash kit to be installed water tight.

Lars Falt's "how to use a knife" boik includes a picture of him batoning with this knife which supports what you quote from Casstrom's website re it should be up to hard use

I've been using this Lars Falt for usual firewood processing including batoning hard dried wood, and I don't baby it in anyway and so far had no issues failure with the edge whatsoever - hope this helps

Do you have a link to the stove you recommend?

Na'then Lad! Only way to set tha'sen straight for a good day :) Greetings from the outpost in the dominion of Canada, hope all is well with you. Thankfully we have several purveyors of this grand brew in Kamloops, BC. My pal from Bingley who lives across the valley from me buys it several boxes at a time...just in case...LOL!!

That look delicious!

please tell me what is the length of the cutting edge?

Do they get much condensation inside ?

Sorry about that blade glad ya got a replacement...ive been through that pain before. Zero degree scani grinds have one purpose whittling ....I had this happen with two knives over my many years of using scandi blades . One was the Condor bushlore that knife was so soft you could not keep an edge without a micro convex on it. The other looked just like your outcome here and that was Real Steels new Bushcraft Plus scandi edition. The real steel was 14C27N german steel which ive had excellent experience with on the Garberg but the real steel dented and warped cause the relief edge is just to thin . The only reason the Garberg doesnt do the same is because its grotesquely thick edge, why its so loved is a puzzle to me. I love Mora esp their Bushcraft Black and their Heavy Duty blades they have never failed me but the Garberg design is flawed. I've since become more of a full flat grind user but i do love a well made scandi for carving. I recently purchased a TOPS Brakimo and have become a true fan. The handle is thin its no "bushcraft comfy grip" that said after using it for 10 months now I'm sold on the design. The knife just works for the woods, its tough yet still detailed enough to carve and notch out wood and it feathers better than any knife I have had so far. I love my bushcraft blades I make my own mods from Brisa Enzo blanks and have made many puukko blades from old knives. I never thought I'd put the Brakimo on my list of best knives but imo I think its one of the best survival /campcrafting woods knives on the market. I do have my eye on the Brisa Nessmuk knife though 😍 That and the Tops Dragonfly which is a combo of the Brakimo and Nessmuk design...Kind of a hidden gem in the U.S knife market which has a great price point too.

Great video, we have got one of these on the way to us. Just wondered, you covered the guy ropes - which type of knot did you use to attach them please? Looks a bit like a taultline but I'm not sure. Thanks

Fab set up with the stove!

Great video thanks! What colour tarp is this? Can’t quite work it out from video.

Hey there, thanks for the review! What's the color of that DD tarp?

What is the weight of the canvas? Thanks for the video.

hi, do they ship outside the UK btw? thanks, nice review! :)

The wood is stabalized so no point in using oil on it. It wont soak in anyway,and wont make any difference.

Hi just looking for some advice. We are looking between the company you used and boutique camping. Can’t decide whether to get a polycotton or canvas bell tent and not sure which company to go for when we do decide. Any advice appreciated👍

A swedish knife huh it has a chip on it but good quality anyway good vid.

Is your lars falt still holding up? I’m thinking it could be my next knife

ågelsjön means "the ågel lake" ågel doesnt really mean anything in swedish its just a name. its pronounced something like this: the o in "lord" the gel in "bagel" and the closest i can think of that sounds like "sjön" in english would be "shun"

Got the same bell tent and stove looking like will be sneaking of and living in it there not locking us in the house getting away from people. 👍👪❤

Have you still got the tent mate? I've just come across these tents having one this year...sounds like your ex army with bog standard haha 👍

Hello my Friend, how are you? Hope all is well, Best Wishes, WS

while doing your research,did you come across any video's saying,don't buy this tent if you are a lazy git,because there is a lot of work involved in keeping these tents in good condition,especially when drying them out before storing away,nice tent,nice video
