Thank You! Very informative and much-needed video. In 99% of bushcraft/knife videos I've watched, knife safety is never brought up.

[@jimfromoregonusa9899]

Well done!

[@malc121]

Brilliant video and great advice,looking forward to more videos like this,take care and stay safe 👏🏻💖

[@richardrudy1211]

Nicely done video, thanks. Keep up the good work, be safe.

[@888johnmac]

my grandad gave me a pocket knife when i was about 10 , he showed me the same grips with one more piece of advice ' keep the blade sharp , cuts will hurt less & heal faster '

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... And the most dangerous tool in your kit or kitchen .... is a dull knife ..

[@butchbinion1560]

Good tips thanks. ✌🏻👊

Love your mus.great teacher.

[@richardstyron5716]

Great video, always good information. Thanks

[@johndavidson6867]

As always Becky you give good advice, and give very informative demonstrations. Hopefully those viewers that are just starting out will pay heed, and possibly save their life.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you John! All the best :)

[@jamesstraub4981]

Great video and topic. Very nicely done Lovely.

[@Soggz7785]

Good vid, and good tips. I was never really shown how to use a knife until I was around 11 when I joined the Scouts. I use knives, axes, saws most days, as a gardener, so I am always safe. There is a lot of people out there who are not though. I hope they see this vid. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧😉⛺️

[@sunbladerr]

Thanks. The 360 space test is a must. Knife-handling beginners are unaware of their safety space requirements. So often we can get caught up in concentrating on a small point that we don't see the whole picture. Be Well and Good Journey. Richie

[@jayhickman2436]

Great video. You are only the second person I have seen to even mentioned the triangle of death. Great topic knife safety. And that hat looks absolutely beautiful on you. Stay safe and healthy.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thanks so much Jay!

[@stevetaylor8446]

Good subject Becky. When I was a kid, I bought penknives and sheath knives from the age of 8 to 10 and we had no training or advice given to us. Sufficed to say, we had the odd few accidents and none of which were pleasant. We found out the hard way and those accidents could have been easily avoided with some knowledge of how to handle a tool properly while using them. You're a great embassador for young people getting into bushcraft. I've even watched videos of some familiar bushcraftets on KZbin and Facebook that have had accidents and they weren't youngsters either. Some great tips and techniques shown here

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thanks so much Steve! Appreciate it :)

[@wayne2078]

Nice video Becky. you tell something very useful. God bless you and your family.! 👍👍👍

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you :))

[@cruachan1191]

Great tips Becky, although I'm more a hiker/camper than bushcrafter I've been trying to learn a few basics like shelter and fire making just in case. I use knives a lot in my day job for wire stripping and cable making and still cut myself frequently when not paying enough attention! Just got a Mora Companion on order and going to be trying making feather sticks, saw the knee lock method on Hidden Valley Bushcraft's channel so going to give that a go.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Nice! I used to have a mora companion - great knives! Happy camping :)

[@cjtn1746]

This was very common sense...thanks for bringing it all home! BTW, the movie looks hilarious!

[@duaneschultz9230]

Great video Becky. You did a great job showing us all how to be safer. Anyone and everyone needs to learn these techniques and it’s always good to be reminded. I hope all is well with you. God bless you and your family. Duane

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thanks so much Duane, all the best :)

[@hArtyTruffle]

Love scandi-grinds and Scandi-films with subtitles. Will keep my eyes peeled for that film. Looks good :) I know all this about knives/safety etc, but get out so little it’s always good to be reminded. Thanks Becky x

[@kingrafa3938]

Good tips Becky.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@Robert.Northwoods]

The chest lever is done wrong IMHO. This grip is about to use the power out of the chest not only locking the knife to it. Try to think about holding knife and material when exhaled and then inhale. The opening of your chest while inhaling is doing the work. ;) 2nd advice...when working with a knife towards your body try to lock you elbow slightly above your hip and move the material not that much the knife or just use the knife with the help of wrist movement....as you said, better safe then sorry ;)

[@brianmaldonado3723]

I like your hat. Ty.

[@strummerman7174]

Thanks! I have to admit that I'm terrible at health and safety, It's something I should take advice on :)

[@MrDefaultti]

I've been using knives over 40+ years. And i cut my self an year ago bretty bad. 3 stiches to my fore finger. And the reason was that I was tired and careless. I had, and every one should have, first aid kit with me. It was a trip to hospital. I still have a problem with feeling with that finger. I hit a nerve... My point is. Even if you have experience. ALWAYS CARRY A FIRST AID KIT with you when using sharp tools like knives, axes and saws. I rest my case. Happy and safe camping every one 😀

[@GirlOutdoors]

That sounds awful! Bet you’ll never make the same mistake again. Take care :)

[@MrDefaultti]

@@GirlOutdoors forgot to say. I had first aid kit with me. I never go out without it. I bandaged it, but it was bleeding too much. I just had to go to ER. Will never happen again 😀

[@tonyhoodlass1846]

Hi Becky just got a PMP Warthog orange grip, this is a really great channel

[@GirlOutdoors]

Nice! Cheers Tony

[@rajaneeshat2081]

[@spektr540hemi]

Vigilant attention while using sharp items is always a good practice... I my area, a couple of years ago, a gentleman that had been flint napping for decades, cut the inside of his thigh and died. Don't be afraid/paranoid, As an overly cautious approach can also be dangerous, but do be safe.

[@guy0725]

Excellent tips. Can you make a video about sharpening ? Thanks !!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you! Yess sure - I’ve already done one but happy to do a newer one :)

I love you soooooooooooooooooo much what your doing. I think your Great 😌. You should have been a USMC. I’m glad I discovered you. You were the first bushcraft female I discovered first. You were much younger then. But still good at what you do!!!!!!!! SEMPER FI

thanks so much!

[@oldfarmshow]

[@firestorm8471]

I just bought a Cold Steel FINNWOLF THAT I LITERALLY HAD TO DULL DOWN A BIT.. ! That is the absolute sharpest knife I have ever held. I cut myself the first time I opened and closed it and did not even know it until I saw blood. Still have ZERO IDEA HOW I DID IT !!! I dont even recall touching the edge ?? So this beautiful young lady makes good points,, Bad accidents can happen extremely fast with a blade...

[@ramblinactivist]

Greetings fellow lefty! Do you re-gring your knives (mainly an issue with single-bevels) so they work better left handed? Perhaps do a knife sharpening video for the other fellow lefties out there! :-)

[@nigelmitchell5726]

Yes Becky rule of thumb always cut away from yourself 🙂

[@luisbar7951]

Que linda e inteligente

[@kova1577]

You’re left handed aswell or maybe ambidextrous? Where’d you get the knife? or is the sheath custom? I may be too sleep deprived to comprehend, but I believe that was left handed oriented and you hold the knife in your left hand from the first minute’s I’ve watched so far. I find if a hassle to find something that can easily be pulled out by my dominant hand

[@GirlOutdoors]

Yes I'm left handed - the knife is from castrom as well as the sheath :) This is the same knife with a different handle -casstrom.co.uk/products/no-10-swedish-forest-knife-in-oak?variant=40134040453300

[@bird1962]

good video........sometime the problem coming when you have many skills....because you forget your own security with the habit.....! when you beginning, you take some caution and more time.....! sorry for my bad english and greetings young girl...

[@andrewskowronski6283]

Wait !!...Is that a famous Razor Rimmed Hat ? Odd Job used one in the 007 Classic GoldFinger, throw it and decapitate your enemy. If your wearing that, no need to carry a knife. Very clever and Razor Sharp disguise, adds a touch of innocence, and Bushcrafty Potential. Cheers!

Enjoyable video. Becky you need to initiate the Super Thanks button on your videos. It's a way people can donate to you if they like your video. There is a KZbin video explaining how the Super Thanks button works. Hope you get it going. Take care and be safe.

aw thank you David!

[@Caoimhin7-4]

Hi, Becky. 👋🏻

[@johnnymfbravo7163]

How did you learn to do all this stuff? Was it just trial and error in the field or were you schooled in bushcraft?

Sorry, what? I was intrigued by Becky beauty. ; - )

Advice to men: If you do not want to be a father, avoid the "Triangle of Death"

[@bobbieboothroyd8531]

I love your camping trips. knives scare me to be honest. I dont think it helps hearing all theses crimes on the News. but your good at bush craft so you should be OK. you never stop learning in life

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thanks Bobbie! Tool in the wrong persons hands sometimes.. take care

[@duaneschultz9230]

I agree completely. Whether it be a knife or a gun or an ax or a saw all of these are just tools to get certain jobs done. But in the wrong hands they can be used in bad ways. Sometimes criminals make things a lot harder and honest law biting people by using these tools in bad ways. I’ve learned in life that it’s never a good idea to blame the tool just the person who is wielding it. Please be safe. God bless you all and your families. Duane

[@firestorm8471]

I have to add a quick story .. My brother is the most ACCIDENT PRONE human on Earth with a blade....Bar None ! We literally carry "quick clot" powder in our woods bags... Example: He had just gotten an incredible Bowie Styled knife that was either a BarkRiver or a Falkniven , (Cant remember) but he went to chop a small branch and the knife easily did so. But it also slipped from his grasp and stood straight up in the top of his foot.. penetrating top of boot,,foot , bottom of boot and an inch of topsoil... So be careful folks had that hit his inner thigh it would have ended him on the spot. Pay good attention to this young lady, she speaks truth.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Wow that’s crazy! Glad he’s okay :) take care

[@firestorm8471]

It was interesting getting his foot out of his boot with a 9 inch blade stuck through both.. A bunch of stitches and a few months walking with a cane and he was ok.... But did he learn anything from it ?? I doubt it... But ,, he's my Brother,, I gotta love him in spite of his weirdness...even at 60 years old he is still a kid..

[@robertbates6057]

@@firestorm8471 That reminds me of the game mumblypeg we used to play at around 12 y/o here in GA. (61 now) You hold your opposite earlobe and stick whatever knife is agreed upon through that triangle of your arm and throw it into the earth. It has to stick. (I know, not really knife safety lol) At any rate, one day, we selected a ww1 bayonet to use. My friend put it right through his bare foot. We didn't wear shoes in the summer much if we could help it. Fun day! As a kid who played in the woods, I cut myself many times.

[@smokinggar714]

What about using a lanyard on your knife? N Joy little one

[@michaelatkinson8291]

Great advice Becks, people shouldn't watch bushcraft videos & try it for themselves without thinking about the pitfalls of using all the tools. Take care mate x

[@GirlOutdoors]

Definitely! Thanks Michael :)

[@phild6124]

Good Knife tips; but the hat and earrings make you look like the Duchess of Cambridge who really likes the outdoors too! Really a close resemblance I'd never noticed before. Your bushcraft skills are much superior to the Duchess though!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you! :)

[@frontlinepdx6091]

I cut my leg with a box cutter when I was a kid. I was holding a roll of tape between my legs. That’s one way to learn. Not the best way.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Wow bet that bloody hurt!

[@frontlinepdx6091]

@@GirlOutdoors It was deep but it wasn’t too bad. Mostly scary. I did learn from the experience and never cut toward myself anymore.

[@Adventures_with_Sog]

If anyone old enough to be in charge of a knife doesn't know how to use one sensibly they need to be wrapped in bubble wrap whilst locked away in a padded cell, lol. Maybe there should be a sticker on all knives for the TikTok generation *Warning, this knife has a sharp edge, please don't try to eat it... 🤣🤣🤣
