Speedy Stitcher - A survival tool?

[@adelarsen9776]

"The value of this item is only appreciated when left behind" - Ray Mears. For self reliance and self sufficiency this sewing tool is a Must Have.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Yes its very handy Ade. I guess you have two!

[@adelarsen9776]

Nope. I only have a standard ordinary sewing kit. But after seeing this video I am keen to follow in your foot steps. Thank you for showing this tool.

[@rajender13]

We used to make it out of a empty pen refill (the thick metallic ones) and used them to make some diy towel surface like embroidery thing.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Cool. Didnt know that use of it.

[@arcticwolfoutdooradventure5426]

Smart bit of kit Odd. Just ordered one .. handy for making additional tie downs on tarps etc or trehugger repairs in the field. Nice vid

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Absolutely! Excellent for any webbing

[@TheMysteryDriver]

I’ve seen a few people with these. Pretty smart to have along with how easy these are to use.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Very easy and handy. I bring it on longer trips where it will be crucial if any equipment break

[@PHARRAOH]

perfect for repairs and such. I just today, struggled to fix a British hammock that a guy gave me. It needed repair and he just bought a new one. I fixed the old one and it works great.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Thats great. Perfect for heavy duty repairs as for hammock and backpacks.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Well done Ode. I have had a Speedy Stitcher for quite a while. I have not had to use in in an emergency yet but have used it often for kit repairs at home and equipment mods. Thanks for sharing

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Sounds good. Yea kit repairs at home is where I most often use it too.

[@cr0cket01]

just got one them stitchers and tried reparing an old bag handle swapped cord for cotten and you right it a hell of a strong stitch

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Good! Glad you find it useful

[@PreparednessVeteran]

Nice work. Good choice of replacement thread too. They are a must item for sail boats too. It reminds me of the simplistic version of the tool on my Swiss Army Knife. Repair kis are definately a priority and this one would carry out those tasks which Duct Tape or Para cord cannot do. I will consider getting one. Many thanks.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Thanks! Yea I love it. Nice to have when stuff rips. Well worth the few bucks it cost.

[@DonnaConrady]

I have a similar leather stitcher, also a gift. Nice job :) Thanks Odd, take care.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Cool Donna!

[@jims9249]

Nice demo. I need to pick one up.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Cool

[@barnabyvonrudal1]

I already knew about these and was interested in getting one (even if I don't particularly need it, or it's something I needed but never knew). Thanks for the explanation on the curvy needle, I was wondering what that was for!

[@boutthere3374]

I'm always surprised that more people don't have this in their repair kit. Great tip.

[@Taromovies]

Hi Odd, this is really a clever and useful tool, cool reality demonstration too, all the best, Taro

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Thanks Taro!

[@kellergibson5643]

I have a couple of them. One is in my 4x4 and the other one is always in my backpack, I have used it to fix my boots, backpack shoulder straps, tarps, etc. I always have a space for it :)

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Nice. It is so useful.

[@roger7767]

Thanks Odd. I've been looking at these for some time wondering if I'd use it rather than my normal needle, thread and thimble. Great informative video and I now know that one's going on my Christmas list!

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Haha.. Very good!

[@thesanctuary225]

Definatly, it is a survival tool for tarp/tent/backpack... Also need some Silicon and Mineral Spirit to water seal.

[@barnabyvonrudal1]

how does that work? Particularly what the mineral spirit is used for

[@TUKByV1]

You can find good tutorials on yt for DIY waterproofing, using that combination and others. Best wishes. ​@@barnabyvonrudal1

[@mikethomas5412]

Thanks, very useful instructions.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Thank you for watching

[@pnyarrow]

A great piece of kit. Thanks for sharing. ATB. Nigel

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

My pleasure Nigel

[@tomohawkravenmoon4518]

got one, wish i had three...handy thing to have.

[@JoonesAdventuresMC]

Tack för videon, riktigt smart verktyg. Jag brukar ha med mig en kraftig nål för läder och liknande tråd som du använder. Jag har lyckats laga en trasig söm i en mc-stövel. Men det var svårt att pressa nålen genom lädret i synnerhet från insidan. Med en speedy stitcher hade det var otroligt mycket enklare att sy. All the best Jonas

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Den er veldig grei å bruke på tykkere materialer som läder, canvas mm.

[@bikemannc]

@@NorwegianBushcraft which compared to a Sail Palm gear ( which BTW take-up a much bigger space in my pack) gives you a much better method to hand stitch most any gear!

[@robertbishop1908]

FYI, Your "Gap", in your stitching needle/tool, is more commonly referred to as a "slot" or "channel", designed to guide the thread in the proper direction. I enjoy your videos.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

My English vocabulary is limited. Thank for clearing it up.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

@@NorwegianBushcraft you are to be congratulated on your English it is awesome. Best wishes from Sussex, England. (I just use big needles and big thread for fixes. I use force if needed with alot of anchor stitches to stop running thread. But this seems a good tool have looked at them on Ebay before.)

[@carlray6010]

Thank you, good video!

[@malaihiboi]

Good info. Some interesting thumbnails too 🤔

[@LucasRichardStephens]

Jeg har sett disse til salgs på skinnlåven i hønefoss, det friste, men å ta det med på tur er ikke for meg. Takk for underholdende film, artig!

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Takk for at du ser på.

[@pantac4493]

Can you give me more information on the thread, I’m not sure what to buy on Amazon. What kind of thread is that, is it the same as upholstery thread? What is the thread thickness? Is it round or flat? Thanks for the tips

[@ladybug4762]

A smart one! Where did you buy this?

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

This one I got as a gift a few years back. I have seen them on ebay amongst other places

[@ladybug4762]

Aha, yeah I’ve seen this gift- thing! Looks like you are a large group of friends within bushcrafting - sending eachother gifts, and filming yourselves when unpacking them ☺️ Thanx for the video, I stil enjoy watching your hands working 😉

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

@@ladybug4762 It was from another guy not on KZbin. Its years sins I got anything from other youtubers. I think that trend is over.

[@ladybug4762]

Oh.. too bad! It seemed to be a cozy tradition amongst friends 😊

[@thesanctuary225]

Give me the link of the thread on Amazon please. What kind of thread? Is it waxed?

[@Noskunk4me]

I use 50 lb test braided fishing line. It's not waxed, but has a coating. It's super strong, will not rot, and has excellent UV characteristics. PowerPro line in the US.

[@barnabyvonrudal1]

In the video he said it was was waxed and was thread for leather working. When I googled that I found some thread that looked like his.

[@chiefsquattingbull7624]

Awesome, tks!

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

My pleasure

[@HectorPlasmic]

I've saved more than one pack with one of those.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Yes its a good tool!

[@NoName-gq5ic]

Hvor får jeg kjøpt en slik ?

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Det finnes her og der, google "speedysticher". Jeg fikk den første, og har kjøpt noen på ebay i ettertid.

[@n.c.108]

Wow you must have a very "cheap" back pack if one of your straps ripped! Unless you purposely purchased this bag so it could rip so that you can find an excuse to use your Speedy Stitcher 😂😂😂😂😂. I cannot believe you actually carry that big sewing roll with you 😂😂😂😂. You have much to learn my friend

[@DavidEllinger12]

What would you carry? I was about to buy one until I saw your comment.
