Boot knives work better with cowboy or cowboy-inspired motorcycle boots. Boot cut jeans or jeans with a modified outerseam. Boot specific sheaths help too... I think boot carry was one of the options for the Bud Nealy Multi-Carry System (MCS) II.

[@electrolyteblend]

I can think of 2 reasons

[@Count_Goatenberg]

I find Scout carry to be the most versatile, can grab it easily normal- or reverse grip, doesn't dangle about etc. As for putting it back: you get the muscle memory for that pretty quickly.

[@michaelvanbenschoten2165]

Same. Sits just under my backpack and is still easily acessable. Plus it clears a spot for my revolver holster.

[@richardelliott9511]

The scar tissue guides it in.😂😂😂

[@TrilobitesRTasty]

Do you feel there is a risk with this choice? Specifically, behind the back placement for handgun carry, while it looks cool, creates a risk of spine injury if the carrier falls backwards onto the firearm and holster. …although a knife would usually not be as thick as a handgun.

[@michaelvanbenschoten2165]

@@TrilobitesRTasty I don't find much risk with the scout setup. I haven't fallen directly on my back since I was 10 roughhousing on the jungle gym. Any rocks or roots are going to be more painful to fall on. My usual outdoors setup is pistol on the right. Knife behind the back sitting just under my backpack, but easily reachable. Reloads on the left. Everything is easily reachable, and I if I set my backpack down, I dont have to leave my knife behind or transfer it like I would with a backpack strap carry.

Scout carry is great But always be careful of putting gear inline with your spine If you fall on you back it becomes a fulcrum that can hurt your back People have been paralyzed by flashlights

[@nicogreco6665]

Should always be careful with scout carry, especially firearms at 6oclock position. LEOs stopped carrying there because a fall or tackle and landing on the base of the back can leave you paralyzed., I just heard this recently, if it’s common knowledge my bad. I was bummed out to hear it because I really used to like scout carry.,;( Keep up the great vids n info! 🔪 🇺🇸👍

[@twistedmetal56]

My thoughts exactly. Which is why I stopped using scout carry despite it's pros. Couldn't risk slipping on a dumb rock and falling on my ass only to cause more DMG because of a knife

[@mrdavman13]

Wow. Never thought I’d it like that!

[@Guapogiboy]

Oh great now I don’t think it’s as cool anymore.

[@edi9892]

It's also a huge deal with swords when falling off a horse, or soldiers getting a shoulder throw and landing on their rifle... The fall without the weapon has a FAR better prognosis... BTW: during the Prager Fenstersturz, several guys got defenestrated and one landed on his sword causing the crossguard to penetrate his belly! He survived and since all of them survived, it was ruled a miracle by the church.

[@0xTheConsultant]

"Scout" carry should be used with caution. Nothing like falling backwards and the object at the small of your back damages the lower part of your spine. Would recommend offsetting it to one side like "7 oclock' for left hand or "5 oclock" for right hand, but not dead center of your spine.

[@rejectyourreality10]

[@kannakamuiedits]

although its cool and pretty useful i wouldn't recommend the backpack one. if you get into a combat situation and they turn it into a grappling situation, if that knife is still in the holster they can easily grab it and stab you with it. now i know this situation sounds specific but a grappling situation is pretty common in life or death combat scenario. but just keep in mind that this is just my opinion and preferences tho.

[@ghanaboyz]

too look at or to use? :D Yeah, it looks pretty tactic-cool/wild.

[@chiefsilverstacker1176]

The best knife carry is the one attached to your body. If you lose your bag, you’ll still have your knife.

[@ghanaboyz]

Voice of reason. Agree. A bag can be lost in many ways. What looks "cool" does not always make sense in the long run.

[@jotasenator]

remember, the one who has a clip-on bag mostly will have more knives all around

[@ghanaboyz]

@@jotasenator Hopefully so. I usually have two blades on long outings, but then again anything addes is also added weight. Two knifes make sense (good weight), but more knife on top of that is just bad weight. Some carrying variations shown here I feel may fit better for on site camp life, less so when you are off the beaten path, meaning far outside your camp or farm. Even less prefarable for survival situations in the wild as you can expect to be in bad condition, tired, injuried or stressed out. Adding extra risk for injury (or lost knife) does not make sense inmo. In my experience, some works less good when being in a open deck canoe for example and does not work at all in a kayak (closed deck). You may need to use a knife to cut a line or net trapping your canoe. Some does not work well if having a large back pack, perhaps with sack or roll under the backpack, low on your back.

[@jotasenator]

@@ghanaboyz agree with you, when i used to go into the wild I used a machete on my back and a knife on my pants, but walking on the same area doing topography , and leaving the backpack in a fixed spot and taking the knife from there. So i didn t considered the extra weight okok. the machete for making my way through and add visibility and the knife for other tasks, and just one day

[@GlorifiedGremlin]

Well that's why I've got a knife that stays exclusively on my pack, so I'm still carrying my EDC on top of it when I'm backpacking. You can never have too many blades in the woods lol

[@larspedernilsen2885]

[@bogosbinted5432]

The problem with the knife up position is that if you are compromised pulling your knife out points it directly at you, essentially giving it to the attacker.

[@popeondope2447]

i mean i would never go tip up, but with that logic flip it around and its essentially still pointing at a very important artery in your leg

[@MilkT0ast]

She said camping not combat

[@MilkT0ast]

​@@popeondope2447 thats why scout carry is the best

[@nihiluskarr2717]

For larger fixed blades, I have found I really like strong side horizontal carry, more than across the waist. It puts it a little more convenient for quick access, but has the downside of making it harder to get into your front pocket if you carry your phone, wallet, or keys there.

[@catey62]

[@ghanaboyz]

Do you use it when having a backpack? Or sitting down in a canoe? How good control do you have without visual and with less natural way to do regular control by touch? What about your spine if you wall backwards and get all weight on the knife/scabbard? If used very regulary and in harsh conditions, dont you think you weill actually increase the risk of either cutting yourself in the back and/or dropping the knife? Yeah, it LOOKS cool and warrior like. but.

[@clothar23]

@@ghanaboyz ....Okay from the top. If you're properly wearing a pack i.e having synched from the shoulders it's not an issue. Three tours in Afghanistan taught me that. As for the rest it all depends on the exact style of knife and scabbard combination. Which also applies to every other carry position. Sure if you're one of those people who insist on carrying a sword length knife it'll be in the way in the scout carry position. But an actual proper knife of an actually reasonable length and size isn't a hazard in that position
