[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

I got one as a gift from my woman after I told her about this story I had read about and then watched a documentary on it it very lite weight and actually is practical for a neck knife it's great for small tasks and fun to carve with I love it and the story behind otzi is mysterious and miraculous.

[@stiv458]

I'm glad I discovered your channel yesterday. I like your 'boring' videos, please keep creating in this style

[@philw8049]

A video about Otzi made by you would be great. I would absolutely love to take some courses from you, but I’m too damned crippled to travel. Probably wouldn’t be able to keep up on the courses either, such is my life. I really hope it works out for you.

[@Treeman84]

I really want both knives, handles are super important. I love it that you are sitting in the road. I also really enjoy this channel my friend.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you, my friend. Yes, you know better than most how important that part of the knife design is.

[@tycreps6407]

Always enjoy watching your videos! Wish I could just walk along with you and talk in person. Thank you sir!

[@glennbeadshaw727]

Maybe you could suck his bum whilst you are holding his hand on your lovely little walk

[@azpirate]

Great Video. I love videos of tried and true gear

[@BjornOutdoors]

More to come. I just need to use these a while before I can give you my review.

[@ObservantPiratePlus]

Just picked up one of the Otzi Condor Neck Knives. Thank you for the suggestion! Skal! And not to worry, there's nothing boring about a stroll through the woods with Bjorn! Quite the opposite.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you, I appreciate you saying that.

[@ladamyunto]

Content we love most Knife video 's

[@Ghost_Os]

I've been wondering about the Otzi knife. I like it, but a little pricey. Thanks for the video.

[@nancysalerno7036]

Thanks for ALL your content Bjorn!!!!👍

[@curtismiller268]

Enjoyed watching, both knives look nice 👍 thanks for sharing.

[@ninnymuggins5159]

Thank you for not giving up on KZbin, Bjorn. You are authentic and real. I think you are one of a kind, and I wouldn't watch other outdoor channels if they didn't have you. ❤

[@MattEdwards1]

Otzi is such a fascinating character! I'd give anything to be able to observe his final days....

[@richardstyron5716]

I enjoy your videos, stay safe & thanks for the video.

[@pauladeese761]

HI FROM NC USA. NO MATTER THE CONTENT THE VIEW IS BEAUTIFUL! THANKS

[@ShiningNoctowls]

I found out I am related to Otzi this life's journey through MyTrueAncestry; hope things are going better for u, Bjorn; slan go foill(bye for now) 🌧🌈☀🌙

[@RASCAZ33]

I’m glad you’re still making videos on this channel. Don’t give up.. look at it this way at least you are making real bushcraft vids. And for people who are genuinely into it. Thanks Bjorn! Give the dogs a pat on the head for me!

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you for saying that, and yes, the fake stuff pretending to be bushcraft on this platform is just ... I have no words.

[@helakuism]

Maybe primitive for them is when you actually have to do something else than hold the phone :D Love these nature walk videos, autumn growings are quite early this year at least here in Finland. That small blade is actually very useful, I have same type of knife also but didn't come up with the idea of having it as a "necklace". And I kinda feel the same about long hikes since I've been around local nature a lot, maybe on a totally different climate there would be so much to see that it would be interesting.

[@adrianhyde]

Hi Bjørn, have you seen Will Lord at all? He's a flint knapper who makes flint knives with nettle cordage, very similar to the original flint version.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Yes, briefly and he showed me a little bit about flint knapping.

[@2frogland]

yes its what we call crab apple small and very sour

[@Ghost_Os]

Also delicious 😋

[@spindelnett6315]

I've only recently found Condor knives, and bought a mini duku parang for my willow work. It comes up well when Scandi ground on my Tormek. Great steel, as I'm not a fan of stainless. Thanks for showing your knives.....very tempted.

[@seanfitzgibbon235]

Great video Bjorn, I agree with all you have said. I started watching you during the pandemic. Been into bushcraft and survival since 2012. Always enjoy your videos. Reconnecting with nature is where it is at.

[@hejnye]

okay, now I have no excuse to come and visit, it would be so fun to take a class from you. Gifts from your viewers are the real gift, thanks for everything Bjorn

[@BjornOutdoors]

Please do!

[@stephengarrett8076]

Outstanding!!! Getting back to who we are is a great thing 👍

[@andretim75]

Dear Björn -- thanks for so many great videos which you are bringing up to share your recognition and understanding of the many challenges we are facing today ! Very important work and we are all very grateful for this ! I am also observing the sky - quite my whole life and I can only say that what we have nowadays is the most manipulated and misused sky that humanity ever had to encounter ! I took quite a number of photos of cloud formations which did not even exist 20 or 25 years ago at all. The way the skies are being milked by trails for days is in a shocking way unbelievable actually ! The technique of trails and Harp does now for many many years more and more unabashed form and produce the weather we have - it is not only a mere influence anymore ! OF course it is not easy to prove my words but the evidence is not to be overlooked anymore and the witnesses ( also from pilots ) for this development as well as the data which can be found and seen ( satellite-photos of the clouds and the way the form up and develop ) stand for what can not be denied anymore ! OF course this all comes with disasters like floods and droughts and it is often the result of a program that i would call as satanic as it get`s. They want exactly these results to support their climate change narrative ( climate is and was constantly changing throughout the history !! ) and it belongs to the agenda as well as it is being used to weaken the competitive countries and their economies ! ( the consequences for the inhabitants health-wise is not only taken into account but is another goal ! the limits of heavy metal values in rain water are often 50 or 100 or even more times higher than what would be allowed ! very often tested and shown on different channels - coming from scientists and people who let these data be analyzed in lavatories ! The results are very often shocking ! )

[@woodman1701]

Definitely do a video about the ice man. The original survivalist. We can learn a lot from someone who did it for a lifetime surrounded by the same level people.

[@teddrosenthal]

I love your flags on your jacket! U.S. and Texas!!

[@ebertwix5860]

Looks like a beautiful day there

[@N2freedom]

Thanks for the video. Some won’t, but I found it very interesting. When I was younger I spent a lot of time in the outdoors. I can remember what is was like just watching you, and it gives me hope that I will get back out there again soon.

[@Carl-Fredrik_Stenstrom]

Väldigt fina knivar du skaffat dig. Fantastiskt roligt att du kommer att anordna kurser inom bushcraft. Stort lycka till! Allt gott!

[@TheRubenkj]

Enda en knall video Bjørn, bare å fortsette å lage så flott innhold. Jeg ser på så ofte jeg kan og ser gjerne samme video flere ganger. Vi er også en fast vennegjeng som møtes og ser sammen på videoene du legger ut her. Vi setter veldig stor pris på den ekte biten av innholdet du gir oss og ikke minst inspirerer oss til å komme oss ut enda mer i skog og fjell 👍

[@BjornOutdoors]

Så utrolig bra. Nå ble jeg veldig stolt og beæret. Takk!

It may not be the most practical, but it is really beautiful!

[@curtstanfield3206]

Really enjoyed this. Almost like taking a walk with you. Madecme laugh out loudcwith the yoga pants. 😂 . For some reason it reminded me of your early video? Bravo, well done.

[@VeronicaSywak]

5:09 an exceptionally beautiful knife. ergonomic design, well proportioned and practical handle a handsome convex blade and elegant sheath, 10 out of 10

[@aleinstein3223]

He was chased and murdered. Interesting story, so glad you are interested. I love how Bjorn talks about the old days, and he's talking about the year 800

[@catherinedeviney3270]

That is a beautiful area for a walk. I love the wilderness.

[@MrRourk]

Was just using my Moremaker Punchblade Stockman. Had to do a little leather repair.

[@bobhead6243]

Hello my Friend , great video as always , Hope the Family and the Dogs are well , I am very stuck in my ways , I always have used Carbon steel knives , hold a much better edge than Stainless , just need to be cared for more , never had one let me down , Be Well , Strength , Honour and Respect .

[@robertturner6460]

Love all the channels but this is my favorite.

[@LarryMills]

Can you show us how you sharpen all those knives?

[@BjornOutdoors]

Sure I can!

Crab Apple Jelly is wonderful , great with Meats .

Hi bjorn dont give up love ur walks

[@boatnut64]

That's what we call Crab Apples, in Canada... I don't think I want to see you "Frolicking the Woods, in Yoga Pants". 🤣🤣🤣 Love the Videos... Keep up the Great Work... From 1 "Scandahoovian" to another... 💪💪💪

[@kelaines5082]

I love this. ❤️ I can't come to Norway but I'd pay for a basic survival type course on line. Things like finding water, starting a fire, fishing, how to put together a basic shelter. What to do in the winter.

[@Markomanne666]

The Condor swamp romper is made big hands!

[@jeromemartinez5603]

I had a nice arrowhead and made a nice straight shaft a d lashed the head in notch and used a fine cord and pitch to seal it, and I had a captive audience of 10 year old boys, and an instructor said they had an opening for primitive tool making, I said it's not primitive! It's skill, you graduate students should know this, what I made here is viable for survival and survival is not up for debate, thanks for bringing up the subject

[@herbsmith6871]

Those were some darn cool looking knifes my friend! I stayed to the end 😎 very nice my friend, thanks for sharing 🤠

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you for that!

[@shaehatton656]

Unfortunately, I can't travel to Norway to support what you do but I hope your courses go well. Great content as always. Liked and subscribed.

PS:- I really miss your hounds😎😉

[@nancylayman7374]

Thank you!

[@rebeccamccarthy6594]

Thank you Bjorn. Do you have Usnea there? We call it Old Mans Beard - its a stringy lichen that hangs off the trees. It's one of our favorite fire starters in Northern British Columbia, Canada.

[@goatrockhunters8000]

Love your stuff brother. I enjoy walking in the woods to. Been hunting a fishing since a small kid. Archery season begins in mid September here in Georgia. I’ll spend a whole day in the woods walking around all over once the weather cools. I retired from the army in 2016. Did 25 years. My step-dad was 1/4 Choctaw and taught me to hunt. I enjoy deer season. It’s not about the kill. Just enjoy being in the woods. There are many wooded places here to get lost in. I’ll harvest one, maybe two, deer a year. Only people that like it is me and my chocolate lab. I’ve gotten one of my sons into helping me skin and butcher the animals. Just want him to have the skills needed to survive. It’s great showing him that he can actually do it. I’ve come across some very fascinating things walking thru the woods. Old cemeteries, Home sites, and such. It’s such an awesome feeling being out there. I also live pretty far off the beaten path along an old gravel road. Most folks in this area are retired army. Just want to be left alone.

[@Sindraug25]

I don't know if the English use the term differently, but yes, here in the US, I would call those crab apples.

[@greggcoppolo8430]

I watch your videos because you show beautiful backdrops and I always wish that I could be in those areas. Always, thanks for the videos. Very refreshing!

[@erwinvanherle469]

Love your channels. Keep it up please. Thanks

[@erikhoff5010]

I'm still watching your videos from start to finish, when I can. Sometimes, things come up while watching you that cause me to pause. I get back to it though. I love your videos and your wisdom. Keep them coming!

[@thomasturner4253]

Nice knifes Carry some myself They are the handiest tools They have been tools about as long as there are people

[@archimalnus1]

We had crab apple trees in the neighborhood where I grew up (Indiana, USA). Too sour to eat but we'd play tag by throwing them at each other.

[@f.goossens8118]

I'm watching the whole vid. Love the Otzi knife most, probably because I'm a woman and there's a centuries long tradition of women wearing neck and cleavage knives. We're in Sweden, in the north. I'm 62 this year, an old woman, and going blind, but it's my intention to maintain what fitness level I can. So with my Border Collie and my bugout rucksack, I'm taking more hikes before winter hits. Realised recently I had this bugout bag ready and waiting but hadn't ever walked any length with it, which is stupid. So time to get used to the weight of it. Anyone else noticing Autumn is coming earlier this year? My Rowan trees are so heavy with berries I feel winter will be early and harsh too. I hope you make some winter bushcraft videos. Thanks for all the ones you do make already.

[@f.goossens8118]

PS, yes, crab apples. (I'm Scots). But eating them raw will generally give you bellyache. Cook them up, mix them with other fruits or make jam or jelly and they are fine. Same with Rowan berries (mountain ash). Eating them raw will give you gut trouble, but in Scotland they make Rowan Jelly with them and it's usually eaten with venison. Here in Sweden I haven't seen any Rowan Jelly for sale, so being lucky enough to have a few trees on my property, I'll make my own.

[@BjornOutdoors]

That's very wise, to hike with your bugout bag. And I really hope you can cope with reduced eyesight! Concerning this autumn, yes, I have noticed it too. It's early this year.

[@cecilieconstancecorneliuss5509]

You look a litte in love there Bjørn 😊😊

I'd love to take a bushcraft course. Maybe next year I can come to Norway when I've finnished my T4 campervan. I'll have to keep it in mind.

[@ostekuste3646]

I already am attending multiple classes here in the US this year, but haven’t started planning for next year. I always plan ahead for travel a year or two in advance, especially for international trips. Norway was on the mind for the next couple years, so if you have your classes established and scheduled by next year I have to visit Norway and spend time during my visit with Uncle Bjorn! Funny you mentioned chanterelle mushrooms, I just found some a couple days ago and all the wild blackberries are ripening here.

[@WSTS238]

Those two knives complement each other. The neck knife is a work of art. Primitive world made the modern world.

[@grammamellow1219]

The Blade is nice. It looks blue 😮. Thank you for sharing. Does it rust? Does it need oil? I have a knife with the handle made from an elk horn. Huron. Steel blade. A bit larger than yours. I have used it to skin an elk and a deer. I did not have it when I was granted opportunity to skin a Buffalo. Yes, ME, A gramma. Skinning wild life. I was grateful for the learning experience. Carry on Bjorn and Friends. 🙋🏼‍♀️🛡💞

[@BjornOutdoors]

Hi there. And yes, it's 1095, so it will rust if you don't keep it clean and oil it.

[@mrsorepaws9146]

I like the shape of the Otzi. And I can see that one as a nice whittling tool! Large Huron looks nice as well. But...I do love my Bamsen knife too much

[@mr.corner89]

Hello Björn! 😌 It’s a beautiful little knife! I’m a previous climber and a bushcrafter myself. I enjoy watching your videos very much, I usually never comment..! But I do follow you and look at your videos from time to times! I lately bought an Ukrainian bushcraft knife, it’s called BeaverCraft BSH4, and I adjusted the handle on it after my personal needs, so now I’m very happy with it! Great regards from Sweden! 💪🙏 Ps. (I or we have a rescue dog too, a Black Lurcher from Ireland). 😜

[@BjornOutdoors]

That is wonderful, with your dog, but also with your knife. I have the BSH1, I think it is.

[@mr.corner89]

Okay, how fun! 😌 I think they’re very great knifes! They also make other carving tools. They’re very affordable and it’s a knife you actually dare to use! (If you understand what I mean…) 😉 I have more expensive knifes too but when you damage it, it’s a pity, it kind of hurts..! 😂

BSH4 is a bit bigger also I think!
