3 Pieces of Gear I Immediately Bought A Second Backup For

These are three pieces of gear I had to make sure I had a replacement for because I love them so much. #tools #knives #tomahawks

[@DasDutchman56]

A Tomahawk, a machete and a Bowie knife.

[@arctodussimus6198]

I agree with you that the Shock and Awe Tomahawk is an excellent piece of kit. I have lots of gear that I’ve bought double and triple times. I keep an emergency bag in my Jeep (you might call it a get-home bag), as well as my camping backpack. They have almost identical gear, although the Jeep kit has more tools and food. The TOPS Tahoma Field Knife is so good, I had to put one in my emergency bag as well as my regular backpack. After 35 years of use, the Cammenga lensatic compass that I had issued to me in the Marines, went cloudy. It still worked but was really hard to see. I bought a new one, and a week later bought the tritium model. I didn’t want to not have one. Lots of other gear I double up on: * PureFire Tactical Fire Starter (I like the folding model) * Emberlit FireAnt stove * Survivor Water Filter Straw * Snugpack Sleeping Bag Edged tools: * TOPS Outpost Command knife * TOPS Prather War Bowie * Silky Gomboy folding saw *SOG Voodoo Tomahawk * Cold Steel Spetznaz Shovel

Good stuff!

My three items that I purchased twice is a Camillus Knife, Bushcrafter Leather Gloves, and an Estwing Axe.

[@r3ptile584]

Can't tell you how many knives I wish I'd bought when I had the chance. The Cold Steel Desperado still haunts me. 😂😂😂

[@viewtifuljay2531]

You hit the nail on the head with this one. Im always looking to grab copies if i can. I recently bought a second cold steel bushman. One of my biggest reasons is inflation/popularity increases. I bought my samick sage recurve like 5 years ago for $89, and now its hovering around $150. 5 years ago not a lot of people knew about it, but now its a well known product. This was a great topic for a video. Thanks again for all the content brother. ✊

[@411Outdoors]

Thanks for watching!🙂

[@nathangrueber9834]

Hey Daniel your just the best man. Ive seen so many gimmick diamond steels pop up lately. They are about 5 inches long at best. Made from diamond. Do you know of any cheff length steel that has say zirconium one side; and a normal high carbon steel on the other side?? They are oval kinda profile.

[@jozefhorvat3625]

Absolutely true mate 👍👍👍 Better to have it and don't need it then need it and don't have it...

[@John..18]

About 10 years ago, I got a Spyderco PM2, and thought it was the best knife ever,, so, I bought a second one as soon as I could afford it,. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to sell the "back-up" version, which was un-used and still in its box,, 🤣,, so, someone ended up with a real bargain,, lol.. I've just bought a Starrett sharpening steel, and it's fantastic, so I'm gonna buy another, "just in case". Ha ha,, All the best my friend, from across the pond,, 🗡️🗡️👍

GREAT INFO MY BROTHER!!..You're a blessing

[@411Outdoors]

Likewise bro!

[@jordantheokay3168]

Cold steel recon 1 standard 4 inch clip point, cold steel sr1 tanto, and the s&w m&p shield 9mm. At one point, I had to sell my guns and only recently have armed back up. When I get the founds, I'll probably get 2 rem 870s and 2 glock 19 gen 3 or 5. But I'm happy with what I have now.

[@antouab221]

For me it was Cold Steel Taipen San Mai VG-10 that I was profoundly impressed with. The second one was ordered soon after. Then the CPM 3 version of the same knife came out and I ordered 2 of these as well. Heck, I wouldn't mind having 10 of these ultimate battle knives lol, made so beautifully with their shaving sharp both sides of the blade, a perfect last stand defence against angry bear keen on ripping you alive/ Those who never held one of these incredible blades will never understand what I am talking about.

[@SpitSharp]

That knife doesn’t look threatening while it is.❤

[@hardrock1826]

With most things in particular knives I usually buy two. If the price is really a deal, I'll buy three or more. I got a few knives in the past at such a reduction in price that I bought three and four of them. A few I have bought even more. But when buying two, I have one I don't use for the collection and one that is there if I want to use it. If I have more of a knife, whether it be two or more I can use them as traders if necessary or as a gift to someone who likes the knife. I have bought multiples of folders that I like. One for the tool box, one for my truck sunvisor, one to carry and one for the collection. I carry everyday my Cold Steel Voyager Tanto XL. I bought two of them and one of another of the same knife but it's the clip point model. I bought two of the Cold Steel Pocket Bushman, two of the large Luzon folders. The list of knives I have bought more than one of is long. Lately because of Ontario Knives closing their doors I have bought extras of their blades. I have three of my favorite fixed blades, sitting side by side in their sheaths, with an attached to the sheath survival kit. They are ready to go anytime. You are so right that they just Stop making knives or gear items in general. Then that day comes you want to replace it and you discover that it's no longer available. I have run into that a few times. Now when I buy a pair of athletic shoes or jackets that I really like, I buy two pair of shoes or two jackets. I bought a winter jacket last year. It was so good I bought two the same. Earlier this year I bought two Levi jackets the same. It works. I got asked why I buy two knives all the time? I told them , "it's so I have one for each hand."

[@maxlutz3674]

For me it´s: * Schrade tactical pen, two in black and one in gun metal * a combo if Tasmanian Tiger bottle holder, Nalgene Oasis widemouth bottle and Tatonka stainless steel cup * Böker speedlock pocket knife For a while Tatonka reduced the diameter of the just enough to prevent the Nalgene bottle from nesting. For the honorable mentions: Buck 110, Trangia 27 cookset and the good old Bundeswehr cuttlery set

Hello and thanks for the intriguing question. My first three "doubles", which later became triples and even quadruples, were: the Crusader throwing ax made by Wulflund, the True Flight by Cold Steel, and the Condor Dismissal. I throw for passion, as a hobby, a sport, and also, without being seen, for hunting purposes. The wear and the risk of losing my blades (fortunately has never happened so far) leads me to frequent repurchases. I need to have certain items available in my belt. There are others of course. One in particular that I like to mention: I have several copies of Russian Yasnyi Sokol knives, I love them so much, in particular the Spider is also my EDC, I use it for food and other light tasks while I never dared to throw it. Still another copy of it is jealously guarded in my home collection.

[@Life-ob3cn]

Crkt minimalist, jacked up the first one, but I liked it so much I bought 2 morw

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

An Arena Accessories knife! I understand where you coming from, bro! Good gear, bro!

[@josephetherton]

Ive only ever bought multiples of two things in my kit. The scout xt and the stawoo chinese style slingshot from amazon. I use to think the scout xt was my all time favorite until I watched this channel and picked up the stawoo. Man that thing fits my hand like a glove.

[@jasondominguez2806]

Ammo for rock river arms ar 15. Unfortunately there's a ban on purchasing or selling these firearms and other related items in the state im in. ( sad) . A bought 2 of the same knives. Price was right. Weight light enough yet sized enough to do what's needed for self defense if ever needed cold steel koubon serrated

[@richardloo1523]

The itens that I've purchased more than once are fero rods, & silky saws. I haven't purchased a knife for over 8 years now. I forge my own knives, swords, axes .etc, have them in every room in my house Ive made copys of OKC rat 3 in stainless steel, AR 500 steel, Aus 8 etc. Wakazashi swords in 1095, tool steel, stainless steel, AR 500 steel. Axes in tool steel, AR 500 & stainless steel. I've also made arrow heads & spears from various steel. I'm a firm believer of 2 is 1 & 1 is none rule when it comes to edge weapons & firearm. Be safe, stay safe folks , the world is shit show these days.

[@davegoodridge8352]

The Civivi Riffle! Was discontinued so it was on sale. So I bought one, and loved it. I quickly got another one before their gone. One of them is always in my pocket.

[@nathanielerskine1875]

I use a serrated Victorinox knives at work on an eco friendly commercial fishing vessel. I usually have a few of these to get through a season.

[@bobinmontana777]

Coincidentally, I bought a bunch of Mora Companions, Baofeng radios and Nitecore NU-25 headlamps.

[@3vil3lvis]

Do radios even count? You kind of need a pair because who are you going to talk to with one?

[@JohnVentarino-ey5ln]

When you said number 3 reason when you just want to buy a 2nd one just to admire it looking and being brand new that's me 100 percent, if I really love something I bought that's what I usually do buy a new one to keep nice.

[@411Outdoors]

🙂💯👍

[@jelkel25]

Always have to have at least one SAK with a notching saw, up to 6 or 7 now. Hultafors or Mora HDs are my favourite work knives, have 3 of those. Here's an unusual one. Have to have a proper cup for my coffee first thing in the morning when out hiking/camping, the most cup like but light and most practical are the large Wildo Foldacups. Have 3 of those.

1) Cold Steel Recon Tanto in Sk5. Two spares. 2) Cold Steel Shovel. 3) Cold Steel Pipehawk. 4) Cold Steel Spikehawk. 5) original Mora 611 and 612 (multiple) and thank God I did because Mora is mostly mall bushcrafter garbage now.

😅 I bought 6 of the Mora Companion. It's a great utility knife! 3 Cold Steel LTC kukris. 3 Cold Steel trail hawks. E Kershaw Launch 7s. I seem to buy things in 3s.

Rockport mil spec desert boots. I liked em so much I bought a second pair. I'm still wearing the first pair I bought in 2004. Pretty regularly. Just get new insoles every four or five years. The second pair is still in their box on the closet shelf. Leatherman FreeP4. It only took a day to decide to buy a second. One for my bugout pack and one for edc. Becker bk3. I keep one in the truck strapped to the center seatbelt and one strapped to my pack.

[@411Outdoors]

Might need to get that Becker 3

[@Eric-cm9ri]

It's good to have those items; with everything going on right now here in America having a bug out bag with the right items may be necessary. I wish these were the 'Leave it to Beaver' days but they are not as we all know. Thanks for your channel, Daniel, great stuff. 😎👍

Great video! My three are my Streamlight Protac 2AA, my Spyderco Para3 and my Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet. The flashlight and knife are carried and used daily. The Hatchet rides in my car and sees use whenever I'm in the outdoors. It's also helped me to clear downed trees that were blocking the road after severe storms.

[@alcattyman797]

Good vid. I knew the Companion would come up. My choice too. It's a knife, made in Sweden by Swedish people using Swedish Alleima (Sandvik) steel 👍.

[@Just_Mark]

Great idea for a video! Here’s one of mine: Victorinox Nailclip 580 - This small knife sits on my keychain. It gets so much use, literally every tool on the thing is used daily. I bought a second… then bought the wife one. I heard since that this model may be discontinued, which is making me want a couple more.

[@JustInCases72]

American made cold steel SRK, I always have 5 or 6 mora companions on hand. ( I give them to my grand kids) had to have another Swiss Army knife. And my grandson said I had to include Ontario RD 7 I have a Mora Companion attached to the sheaths.

[@gwpattrick]

Yeah. I bought the Pathfinder Scout backpack. Love it so I bought another one. Spartan Harsay fighter knife. It's like a K-Bar but full tang. I got 2 now. And 64 oz stainless steel water bottle. I always had plastic canteens. But I have two SS 64 canteens. And wool blankets. Like having them in the car and on me when I'm hiking.

[@ChuckinSteel]

I told you when I had that spike made for you that you would love it.

Ordered my third one recently Youre so right 🤣

[@operationcaddyshackgopher1664]

The k bar full size is always near. I will always have a Leatherman on me the Leatherman haa saved my butt so many times i lost count. The bit kit has saved me hours and miles of going to get a tool. Redwing logger boots. The k bar is a real killer in the kitchen. One good sharp rubber handle dishwasher safe blade.

Cold Steel Kyoto 2, I probably have purchased 4 or 5. I sometimes give them as gifts.

+1 on the Mora Companion, Stanley cookset pot, SAK Huntsman, and honorable mention to a cheap Walmart Eveready 300 lumen flashlight. Bought 3 of those.😊

[@twalk6164]

Appreciate your logic. Companies make great products and then discontinue them...its so frustrating!! How can I recommend a product when its no longer available?? Gerber made a sheath knife called a "Kayak" in the 70's or 80's which is both an outstanding dive knife and a neck knife and I would give my sons each one if still available. I love my Buck 704 penknife. It is sharp, has a strong backspring so no lock is needed,and it will do 90% of my cutting jobs. I had to go to ebay to find a 2nd one. I, too love the Mora Companion and have a second one of that. Lastly my Bahco Laplander folding saw is so effective I bought a 2nd one of that and keep it in storage.

[@WGlennNorman]

Cold Steel Kali Gloves and the Cold Steel Mini Torpedo. I don't have a third yet.

[@ClintHollingsworth]

Oddly enough, for me it was Teva water shoes. I use them as moccassins when I'm wood wandering, and I've had one pair for over a decade, and the soles were getting might thin. Of course, they're discontinued, and the chinese versions last about 6 months. My wife finally got on Ebay and found me two different pairs so she didn't have to listen to me whine anymore.

[@roseivory8496]

@@411Outdoors Daniel, would you consider making a video about quality budget clones of expensive knives? I have often noticed that simply putting the words "tactical", "combat", or even "survival" or "bushcraft" on what are essentially inexpensive, mass-produced hunting/utility knives allows companies to inflate the price by at least 5-10 times. For example, the expensive Shivworks clinchpick knife you made a video on a few months ago is essentially a Schrade Old Timer Sharp Finger knife which retails at under $20. I think this could be a popular video as a lot of folks are on tight budgets these days. Even an "inexpensive" Mora companion knife $16 has a highly-rated clone that retails for $4 (I.e. the "Wahoo Killer") on BudK.
