Bravo! Primitive shelter even with a large cutting tool is damn hard work. It was very rewarding Im sure. Thanks for sharing!

[@TedWeirum]

Thanks brother! its a lot of work but also a lot of fun!

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Hej.That was a cool overnighter.All you need is a Mora knife and a Fjällraven greenland jacket.I still have my 40 year +++ old Mora knife,love it ! Have a wonderful weekend.

[@TedWeirum]

hey! thanks! it's so cool, there's just something with old gear that you just can't get with the new stuff, you have stories with it, its connected to you!

[@saber1able]

Nice shelter build with just a knife. I have never owned a Mora but have heard only heard good things about them. Once I built a shelter and I woke up to a pack of coyotes all yipping and carrying on about 30 feet away from where I was laying. They kept moving so I just rolled over and went back to sleep. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work brother.

[@TedWeirum]

hahah, that's awesome brother! ice cold to just roll over but hey, I guess there wasn't much else to do! :)

Great video as usual ❤ Love it to see that you still wear the Greenland jacket. I bought the current version of this jacket due to your old review I've found a couple of month ago on your channel. Best winter jacket I've ever had! Would love to see more bushcraft content from you. 🙂

[@richardhenry1969]

I just got a Garberg last month $55 couldn’t beat it. Man it’s a great knife. Nice video proves what I was taught the more you know the less you need. I like these types of videos. The thing is I don’t go in the woods without a little gear especially when I go fishing. I always have a water bottle and a few odds and ends. Practice makes you stronger when you need to be.

[@TedWeirum]

totally agree! it's comforting to know that you could handle yourself if need be! :)

[@GetUpTheMountains]

Teddy baby! I am Kansbol man myself! Du är min sedan länge förlorade tvillingbror! Now I sit to watch your video.

[@GetUpTheMountains]

3:13 reminds me to tell you about the "pocket bellows". It will revolutionize your ability to make fire in the wilderness, especially under soaking wet conditions. Obviously in this minimalist scenario, you'd be without it. My Kansbol is the regular orange edition. Limited edition red is nice!

[@TedWeirum]

The hunter gatherers when they made their tree tents, they also dug into the ground below the frost line. I saw a real one once. I was a kid. It seemed to be huge. Above ground lodges also existed. For what you did here, that is the best time of the year for it.

Very interesting, this is a useful tip brother! :)

[@TommyWalker1991]

I moved to Malmö from NL almost two years ago and one of the things I love here is the Swedish attitude towards enjoying nature. Your videos are a great example of that and I find them very inspiring. I love camping and I would like to try some overnight hikes this year. Eventually I would love to walk the Kungsleden but I think I should start a bit smaller. Do you have any recommendations for simple overnight hikes in Sweden? Perhaps Skåneleden? I absolutely love Söderåsen but I guess Skåne has more to offer. Also I'm wondering where to start in terms of gear. I have good outdoor clothes, but no tent and backback etc. Do you have any tips on where to start with this? Keep doing what you're doing!

[@TedWeirum]

Hey bother, I'd try the east part of Skåne as well, around Ravlunda, just make sure the military isn't there at the time, beautiful scenery and less crowded!

[@TommyWalker1991]

@@TedWeirum Sounds good! I have been in east Skåne only once, but it looked beautiful so would not mind going back. I am currently researching and assembling my backpacking gear. So perhaps I will see you on the trail!

Ha. You beat me to it. I was going to say that's your Greenland Jacket with the broken zipper. I remember that video. What a nice quiet night. I have not slept without a tent before. I may try it one night and see what the experience it like. I do love my Mora Knife. I've used it many times and the thing is a beast. The urine not something I have had to do. I hope I'm not in that position but at least I'm aware I could if needed. Maybe next time, you could cook up some fresh road kill? Peace.

[@TedWeirum]

haha, that could be a great next step, just contemplating the title for that video! :)

[@janwijbrand]

Great video, beautifully shot again! Less "flashy", more "down to earthy" (even literally 🙂). Did keep warm enough by the fire and shelter? Woke up many times?

[@TedWeirum]

yeah, this is definitely the type of videos I'd want to do more of! I was really warm all night actually! I only woke up one time too, that's because I only slept for 20 minutes! 🤪

[@gialuongpham7870]

If me, I wouldn't choose Mora Kansbol or Mora 2000 (their last version) for trips where I need a reliable knife. Because its tang has a very deep grooves near the begin and many new Mora knives (kansbol, new 2000, new bushcraft, new basic 511, new pros) broke in this position. I would rather go with a Mora companion knife (not the HD version) with a mod spine 90° and feel more confident.

[@TedWeirum]

I will do a similar adventure with the garberg, it has a full tang, that’s probably the best version for a strong reliable knife :)

[@gialuongpham7870]

@@TedWeirum I don't like the new improvements of Mora knives (in the tang of many modele hidden tang). Even their new robust knife has this weakness. Mora company know this, but I think they made deep grooves on the tang for easier to set up when heat treating multiple knives at the same time. Moreover, for the many new plastic handles models , there are joints between the blade and the handle. So the water and dirt can penetrate the tang, in the long term it is not good. P/s: Hultafort knives would be a better choice (for cheaps hidden tang knives).

I’m extremely disappointed with my vidda pro trousers all 3 pairs. My dark olive have holes everywhere after 18 months use I wasn’t aware of the 2 year warranty and I’ve lost receipt so can’t do anything about it. I use these have probably had approx 8 months use my laurel green ones problem 6 months use and my autumn one 4 months use and all the leg bottoms have holes in them and are fraying I’m very very disappointed to say the least and I’m never going to part with any more money for vidda pros. My anorak no8 is superb at the moment purchased at the same time as the trousers. Il just stick to £20 German army trousers that have lasted over 5 years with no holes or damage. Not impressed with g1000 at all. The only good thing I can say about vidda pros is there feature rich that’s it. Also my ex British army trousers at £15 per pair are nearly 8 years old with no holes both the German and the British trousers have been worn nearly all the time compared to the fjallravens. On a happier note my orange kansbol is great. Hope mora bring the red kansbol to the uk soon. 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Anytime brother! I’m thinking that it could be a good idea to write them anyway, just to show the wear and tear points of your trousers, providing them with detailed knowledge of how you used them.
