FINALLY, someone that is not doing a thousand time more, a video about "how this brand o hammock is great" or "how this new knife is cool", but that is actually giving REAL good advices and techniques about bushcraft and survivalism. Thank you a lot ! That's the kind of stuff I wish I had learned younger to avoid losing precious energy and time and gain a lot more safety in my movements.
@Anon-xd3cf4 жыл бұрын
THIS. This, is the kind of stuff that is rarely taught but should be 101. Instead, these techniques are often held back or not given enough consideration during instruction. Probably because they are natural techniques which one usually develops _after_ a number of painful mistakes... Or *"teachable moments."*

Coalcracker is one of my favorites for precisely this reason.

Great information.! 👍👍 I’ve been messing with knives for 50 years and never knew these techniques. My dad was an avid outdoorsman and lumberjack in Maine after WW2, but passed when I was young so I didn’t get lots of information I wish I could have. His main rule, and one I try to pass on is never cut Towards yourself (especially with force). Thank you for all your lessons and tips. I really enjoy and appreciate them. Best wishes! God Bless

First I was like: "why on earth anyone would need a video like this?" Then I started thinking it deeper while the vid played in the background.. I guess there's growing amount of men who don't teach their kids to use a knife. And for those ppl (both the kids and the adults) this is actually pretty useful.
@darwingraves3083 жыл бұрын
Well . . . unfortunately . . . after watching the video, I have developed a nagging sense of guilt. I have always been proud of my knife skills.(3rd gen butcher on 1side, uncles on the other, 55 yrs of carrying a knife @ work & play) BUT . . . I'm not sure of how well I passed them on to my 4 kids. 😞

Hey man, logged in just to say, these are awesome! I love how accessible they are for folks who don't have that hand/arm strength available for whatever reason, while upping the safety and control factors. Definitely plan on using this with my kids and Cub Scouts! Also, truly grateful for the safety tips around drilling holes and using saws as well. My right thumb (lefty here) could have used those a few years ago, and maybe others will have the chance to learn from my mistakes.

Thumbs can help as well. One can hold the stick with their fingers on one hand, and push the knife blade with their thumb(or pull the stick back with their fingers while supporting the knife blade with their thumb), while holding the knife with the other hand. It limits the range of motion as well, and is great for making small controlled cuts.
