I usually carry 3 things while im in the woods hunting or camping, for food and skinning purposes ill carry either a puma woodsman pal or a vintage case 366, for any type of wood working ill carry a yakut knife or a puuku and lastly a knockoff silky pocketboy or a opinel saw, all are great at what they do and pretty inexpensive except for the woodsmans pal which my grandpa gave me and is worth like 400 bucks now lol

The velcro tabbed sheath is only due to the military version having the fingure guard to protect the hand with stabbing motions. Given the military version a aftermarket kydex would be better suited but less traditional in appearance

Collecting iron and steel: The norsmen (“vikings” was a job not a people) would burn peetmoss and collect the iron beeds in the ashes. Once enough beeds were collected tools could be made. I think this process was called smelting

Nice review. Thank you. About twelve years ago I visited Norway for a hiking trip from Alta to Karasjok and back. I visited the knife makers store, but decided after much thinking back and forth on it agaiinst buying a leuku. I thought I had enough knives and my backpack was heavy enough. Later I regreted this and still do. I shall get me this or an Eräpuu one soon, though. Cheers.

Holding the knife towards the end of the handle to let it swing with maximum speed is the reason why the handle bevels out at the end, so it won't slip out of your hands when cutting a tree down.

In the area of Rovaniemi and Kemijärvi, simple furnaces for iron production have been found that can be dated to just before or around Christ. It is assumed that when they became suppliers of sought-after resources, the Sámi gave up their production (iron and ceramics) in return for receiving corresponding products in return. (Samenes historie fram til 1750 av Hansen og Olsen, 2004, side 110/History of the Sami up to 1750 by Hansen and Olsen, 2004, page 110). I myself have a good knowledge of Sami's history, and I would not consider it unlikely that they could order products according to their own needs.

I was issued these and hated them. Most soldiers in my platoon had problems with these boots. They have a single layer sole which is a major issue, you're essentially walking more or less straight on the outsole. If you get a crack or a tiny prick in the outsole your feet will be soaking wet just from walking on moist asphalt. Most people had to replace these every 3-6 months because the outsole material is prone to cracking and if it does your boot is essentially garbage as you can't resole them. The company that makes them these days (Samelin) sells a 2.0 version with a proper two layer sole and it's vastly superior. I have a picture on my phone from someone who had to duct tape the sole back on because it cracked and peeled off within 2 weeks of being issued. The laces they come with are trash. They're some sort of cheap dress shoe laces that bind up way too easily meaning adjusting your laces is way more difficult than it needs to be. They also soak up moisture like crazy. I suggest replacing the laces with paracord or with aftermarket hiking boot laces. Unlike most modern boots they don't have a lace lock on the instep so you can't adjust lace tension differently for the upper and lower parts of the boot. This is a pretty big issue as most people like the foot part to be loose and the upper part to be tighter for more ankle protection. The part where the shoe bends when walking has a nasty tendency to crush the tops of your toes. This is perhaps the second most common complaint after problems with the sole. They can be made relatively water resistant with proper treatment, but if you're walking around when it's wet you're gonna get your feet soaked sooner or later. If you need your boots to be waterproof these aren't it. The only good thing about the boot is that it has a toe box similar to the munson last i.e. it's actually foot shaped and unlikely to smash your toes in from the sides like many boots do. Other than that you're pretty much getting a mass produced boot made by the lowest bidder designed in the 1970s. Once broken in they're decently comfortable until the outsole fails on you. If these work for you then great, but more than half of the people in my platoon had major issues with these within the first few months and almost everyone had to get a new pair issued during their 11 months of service. PS: the person suggesting 3 layers of socks with these is insane. Some people use two but if you really need three the boots aren't right for your foot. Also problems with the soles persist even with new productions, the issue definitely isn't solved, it's just not as bad as it used to be.

@@shantanudurgvanshi9106 I use Lundhags Professional wides and they're by far the best boot I've ever owned. Completely waterproof, no shitty liner to soak up moisture, wide toe box, proper full grain leather, excellent repairability and durability. They are, however, over 300 euros which is much more expensive than the M77. The previous boot I used were Alt-berg defenders I got from military surplus. They were around 80 euros and worked reasonably well, but their toe box is way too narrow even on wide models and the heel slip is annoying. I suggest sticking with military surplus unless you know exactly what you want in a boot. Most really good boots are also very expensive and a pain to return if they don't fit or work correctly for you. A 60-80 euro military surplus boot will do 80% of what a 300 euro boot will do unless you need specific features like minimal water retention or an anatomical toe box. I've heard that German para boots are very highly regarded, but are pretty rare nowadays. I can't really give you any more specific recommendations since boots are a very personal piece of gear. Hope this helps.

Hi, I am ex-British Navy and have just made a friend who was also in your navy so we have been comparing notes. What an interesting video you have done. Perhaps I should do the same with my own British sailor's uniform!! Or better still get you to model a British sailors uniform!! I have been collecting uniforms for some years after swapping bits with various sailors in other Navies whilst on my worldwide travels. I then started to collect more items to make them complete so have managed to have full uniforms from Russia, Germany, France, Australian, Chinese, Vietnamese, and many others. With my British and also American I have managed to get complete uniforms from the 1940s, 1960s, 1990s and today.

Thank you! I've come to appreciate the navy in recent years, and I always like a good navy uniform, even if most of the time the various nations have very similar uniforms. I wouldn't mind a set of British ratings uniform at some point, but right now I'm restricting myself to Norwegian stuff. In fact I have now sold the uniform shown in this video, and I'm building up a WW2 kit instead (Not so easy).

A few comments; I was issued an US harness dated 1942 when I attended the Officer Academy in 1985, the Norwegian Navy had M1911 pistols until the mid 1990s. The field shovel usually was attached to the day pack (stridssekk) instead of the belt for obvious reasons, together with the modular tent system and eventually clothes, food and more ammo.
