Cold Steel SF shovel, bowdrill, Mora Garberg

[@perebird]

Good stuff Rob 👍

[@user-we5fg1ix2g]

If you are thinking about the cold steal sf shovel they have a new version the trench shovel

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I've had an original one for many years. They are great.

I think you should omit the string....good review of the shovel.l agree with you about light my fire ferro rod always consistent regards Mick

[@feralgrandad4429]

Think I'm going to get one these shovels. Zachary Fowler who won one the Alone seasons (87 days I think) took one (with multi-tool/axe/saw) and he used it for everything. Though he took an axe he hardly used it. TBH Rob. Your "s**t, shovel feathersticks" were better then 2 KZbin guys I can think of 😉

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Good old Fowler! I did have one long before he went on Alone, now that Roland did 100 days Fowler has stopped mentioning it so often 🤣🤣 still one hell of an achievement.

@@RobEvansWoodsman What were Roland's tools, Rob? [What would these 4 be like? CS SF shovel, CS Trail Master, Victorinox Hercules, Silky Bigboy? Under normal circumstances I'd add a "bushcraft" knife.] Cheers.

@@dennisleighton2812 I can't remember what Roland had.

I think the Esee steel cum bearing block is an outrageous price for what it is. Forty quid!? Something I've come up with that works pretty well is to use a dome-headed upholstery nail tapped into the top end of the spindle/drill. All you need then is a bit of wood with a dent/depression in it to make the bearing pair. These nails are pretty cheap and a few don't take up much room or weigh much in the pouch. I'll give you some when next we meet. Good video, though, Rob.

Hey Rob, I forgot to ask you what angle do you use for sharpening your Recon Scout? Cheers!

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

That's a difficult one, I've always maintained the original bevel which is quite fine , I'm surprised that it doesn't chip.

[@seanthomasdowd]

Random thought and something I have never seen on any bushcraft channel, have you dug a latrine at your permanent camp?

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I don't sleep there so I don't shit there!

[@nickdavies4623]

I think you should omit the fingers of your right hand.Tape up your fingers too simulate a broken and strapped hand

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I think you should mind your own business matey!!!
