Otzi and the Large Huron - Knife Walk and Talk

[@BjornOutdoors]

Information about my bushcraft courses can be found here: bull-hansen.com/bushcraft-courses/

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

I got one as a gift from my woman after I told her about this story I had read about and then watched a documentary on it it very lite weight and actually is practical for a neck knife it's great for small tasks and fun to carve with I love it and the story behind otzi is mysterious and miraculous.

[@adrianhyde]

Hi Bjørn, have you seen Will Lord at all? He's a flint knapper who makes flint knives with nettle cordage, very similar to the original flint version.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Yes, briefly and he showed me a little bit about flint knapping.

[@philw8049]

A video about Otzi made by you would be great. I would absolutely love to take some courses from you, but I’m too damned crippled to travel. Probably wouldn’t be able to keep up on the courses either, such is my life. I really hope it works out for you.

[@stiv458]

I'm glad I discovered your channel yesterday. I like your 'boring' videos, please keep creating in this style

[@curtismiller268]

Enjoyed watching, both knives look nice 👍 thanks for sharing.

[@Ghost_Os]

I've been wondering about the Otzi knife. I like it, but a little pricey. Thanks for the video.

[@RASCAZ33]

I’m glad you’re still making videos on this channel. Don’t give up.. look at it this way at least you are making real bushcraft vids. And for people who are genuinely into it. Thanks Bjorn! Give the dogs a pat on the head for me!

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you for saying that, and yes, the fake stuff pretending to be bushcraft on this platform is just ... I have no words.

[@helakuism]

Maybe primitive for them is when you actually have to do something else than hold the phone :D Love these nature walk videos, autumn growings are quite early this year at least here in Finland. That small blade is actually very useful, I have same type of knife also but didn't come up with the idea of having it as a "necklace". And I kinda feel the same about long hikes since I've been around local nature a lot, maybe on a totally different climate there would be so much to see that it would be interesting.

[@Treeman84]

I really want both knives, handles are super important. I love it that you are sitting in the road. I also really enjoy this channel my friend.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you, my friend. Yes, you know better than most how important that part of the knife design is.

[@ShiningNoctowls]

I found out I am related to Otzi this life's journey through MyTrueAncestry; hope things are going better for u, Bjorn; slan go foill(bye for now) 🌧🌈☀🌙

[@nancysalerno7036]

Thanks for ALL your content Bjorn!!!!👍

[@garphykeks]

I don't see you as a 'Yoga Pant Girl' Bjorn, but a video of you prancing about in yoga pants may drive the channel to many more subs😂I'll skip that one obvs😉KEEP ON DOING YOUR THING BRO🙏

[@tycreps6407]

Always enjoy watching your videos! Wish I could just walk along with you and talk in person. Thank you sir!

[@glennbeadshaw727]

Maybe you could suck his bum whilst you are holding his hand on your lovely little walk

[@richardstyron5716]

I enjoy your videos, stay safe & thanks for the video.

[@azpirate]

Great Video. I love videos of tried and true gear

[@BjornOutdoors]

More to come. I just need to use these a while before I can give you my review.

[@ObservantPiratePlus]

Just picked up one of the Otzi Condor Neck Knives. Thank you for the suggestion! Skal! And not to worry, there's nothing boring about a stroll through the woods with Bjorn! Quite the opposite.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you, I appreciate you saying that.

[@spindelnett6315]

I've only recently found Condor knives, and bought a mini duku parang for my willow work. It comes up well when Scandi ground on my Tormek. Great steel, as I'm not a fan of stainless. Thanks for showing your knives.....very tempted.

[@2frogland]

yes its what we call crab apple small and very sour

[@Ghost_Os]

Also delicious 😋

[@boatnut64]

That's what we call Crab Apples, in Canada... I don't think I want to see you "Frolicking the Woods, in Yoga Pants". 🤣🤣🤣 Love the Videos... Keep up the Great Work... From 1 "Scandahoovian" to another... 💪💪💪

[@valeriewalker954]

I still don't understand how you don't have 500000 subscribers.??? Where are you nature lovers?

[@ninnymuggins5159]

Thank you for not giving up on KZbin, Bjorn. You are authentic and real. I think you are one of a kind, and I wouldn't watch other outdoor channels if they didn't have you. ❤

[@seanfitzgibbon235]

Great video Bjorn, I agree with all you have said. I started watching you during the pandemic. Been into bushcraft and survival since 2012. Always enjoy your videos. Reconnecting with nature is where it is at.

[@Carl-Fredrik_Stenstrom]

Väldigt fina knivar du skaffat dig. Fantastiskt roligt att du kommer att anordna kurser inom bushcraft. Stort lycka till! Allt gott!

[@R-HOOD]

Otzi died because of a wound from an arrow ,,so they say :) would be an interesting video Bjorn , much Respect for all the content,thnx

[@The-Highlands]

I share the same sentiment about China. Not about Chinese people but about the policy and the quality of the products they produce for us the Western Europe. In the past China used to produce ones of the best quality products in the world. Sadly they become with the time the worst quality producers in the world b. Sad but true…😊

[@Sindraug25]

I don't know if the English use the term differently, but yes, here in the US, I would call those crab apples.

[@misolgit69]

I have a Codor model I like really well it also has a large handle I take a XXXL glove so I'm used to my pinkie hanging loose the knife ? they call it the Primitive Camp knife it is basically a full tang Leiku

[@woodman1701]

Definitely do a video about the ice man. The original survivalist. We can learn a lot from someone who did it for a lifetime surrounded by the same level people.

[@ladamyunto]

Content we love most Knife video 's

[@jonathonfrazier6622]

I like the overall profile of the Huron. I just wish the forward sweep of the blade was less.

[@TheRubenkj]

Enda en knall video Bjørn, bare å fortsette å lage så flott innhold. Jeg ser på så ofte jeg kan og ser gjerne samme video flere ganger. Vi er også en fast vennegjeng som møtes og ser sammen på videoene du legger ut her. Vi setter veldig stor pris på den ekte biten av innholdet du gir oss og ikke minst inspirerer oss til å komme oss ut enda mer i skog og fjell 👍

[@BjornOutdoors]

Så utrolig bra. Nå ble jeg veldig stolt og beæret. Takk!

[@PaulWade87]

6th 👍🏽👍🏽like & awesome video, & bestest tidings blessings always, Sincerely to my big Viking Brethren Bjørn, Sincerely this lil Viking Brethren, ~Páúl

[@bobhead6243]

Crab Apple Jelly is wonderful , great with Meats .

[@erwinvanherle469]

Love your channels. Keep it up please. Thanks

[@ericcook8422]

Mindfulness. I understand what you mean.

[@hejnye]

okay, now I have no excuse to come and visit, it would be so fun to take a class from you. Gifts from your viewers are the real gift, thanks for everything Bjorn

[@BjornOutdoors]

Please do!

[@bobhead6243]

Hello my Friend , great video as always , Hope the Family and the Dogs are well , I am very stuck in my ways , I always have used Carbon steel knives , hold a much better edge than Stainless , just need to be cared for more , never had one let me down , Be Well , Strength , Honour and Respect .

[@LarryMills]

Can you show us how you sharpen all those knives?

[@BjornOutdoors]

Sure I can!

[@stephengarrett8076]

Outstanding!!! Getting back to who we are is a great thing 👍

[@pauladeese761]

HI FROM NC USA. NO MATTER THE CONTENT THE VIEW IS BEAUTIFUL! THANKS

[@josephineblanc9801]

Hi bjorn dont give up love ur walks

[@johnovanic9560]

Here in the US we would call those crabapples. Because when you bite into them they're so sour it makes you crabby. I'm glad that you are moving away from the political type videos into the more woodsy Bushcraft theme. I am also gravitating towards the old ways. Putting away my Ferro rod and knocking the rust off my flint and steel to do more primitive style camping. Also bought my first condor the small primitive Mountain Knife for carving tasks.

[@ShiningNoctowls]

"Breaking News/"Headline"": "Oetzi was found to have dark skin("Some speculate a high diet in Vitamin D similar to Inuit/Arctic Amerindians") & be a "balding middle-aged man; some are now saying he is a black African"" Bjorn("A Middle-Aged Man"): "These People" *brings out "Oetzi" Dane Axe*" Me: "You & I both Bjorn; we are both related to Oetzi & Anatolian farmers(Uncle German("The Cherokee Cherusci") in Cherokee North Carolina: "As well as In Addition To Migrational DNA Map" 🌈) after all, the "Vikings"/Norse weren't only "raiders" but farmers too(also not every "White Person" only has Blonde Hair like the people in Sardinia & Spain+; "In Addition To"), right?" lol🔥🌧🌈🌊⛵

[@MrRourk]

Was just using my Moremaker Punchblade Stockman. Had to do a little leather repair.

[@MattEdwards1]

Otzi is such a fascinating character! I'd give anything to be able to observe his final days....

[@marco_cee_]

i couldn't tell if that was Otzi or Wim Hoff...

[@johnl2445]

Otzi was a rugged individualist. First of His kind. Klaus Schwab's "Collectivist" ancestors did not aprove of Otzi's Freedom, So they chased him into thé mountains and Brutally murdered him. Let that bè à les son to us all!

[@radiationraven]

You said “most people have stopped watching by now” and I legit said out loud “No I haven’t!” 😅

[@BjornOutdoors]

Wonderful, thank you for that.

[@radiationraven]

@@BjornOutdoors Your talks are so conversational that I sometimes feel like it’s just you and I sitting down for some coffee. I get so drawn in I catch myself verbally responding to you. Great… now I’m that crazy old man talking to a screen. 😂

[@curtstanfield3206]

Really enjoyed this. Almost like taking a walk with you. Madecme laugh out loudcwith the yoga pants. 😂 . For some reason it reminded me of your early video? Bravo, well done.

[@stephenwest1491]

Hi Bjorn ( TELFELHAL ) 9 inch blade is the smallest in my collection i cant wear them around my neck its belt only ...

[@PistolPete1984]

Beautiful knife, I have 10-12 John Case & Sons USA made knives from a 100 year span. “Case” knives

[@rebeccamccarthy6594]

Thank you Bjorn. Do you have Usnea there? We call it Old Mans Beard - its a stringy lichen that hangs off the trees. It's one of our favorite fire starters in Northern British Columbia, Canada.

[@cherylb.7598]

Yoga pant girls 🤣 cracked me up! Some know their stuff but as a middle aged woman I'm just not enthused about all the unnecessary camera angles 🤣🤣

[@N2freedom]

Thanks for the video. Some won’t, but I found it very interesting. When I was younger I spent a lot of time in the outdoors. I can remember what is was like just watching you, and it gives me hope that I will get back out there again soon.

[@bryandunn425]

While we are at it what is Americans culture and where did the skill originate. Did ameria have a bronze or stone age. What was America doing at the start of the Industrial Revolution? Hmm, importing!

[@archimalnus1]

We had crab apple trees in the neighborhood where I grew up (Indiana, USA). Too sour to eat but we'd play tag by throwing them at each other.

[@duybear4023]

You need to try the Victorinox Venture knife! It's designed by a KZbinr and seems promising for bushcraft.

[@jeromemartinez5603]

I had a nice arrowhead and made a nice straight shaft a d lashed the head in notch and used a fine cord and pitch to seal it, and I had a captive audience of 10 year old boys, and an instructor said they had an opening for primitive tool making, I said it's not primitive! It's skill, you graduate students should know this, what I made here is viable for survival and survival is not up for debate, thanks for bringing up the subject

[@robertturner6460]

Love all the channels but this is my favorite.

[@kelaines5082]

I love this. ❤️ I can't come to Norway but I'd pay for a basic survival type course on line. Things like finding water, starting a fire, fishing, how to put together a basic shelter. What to do in the winter.

[@lavenderlilacproductions]

Hi Bjorn. I just stumbled across this channel. Im subscribed to your main, but have added this one

[@brucejohnson6529]

What is the sholder patch on your shirt?

[@desertranger1095]

I can't get the image of Bjorn frolicking about in the woods cross dressed as little red riding hood after he mentioned frolicking yoga pant girls.

[@teddrosenthal]

I love your flags on your jacket! U.S. and Texas!!

[@garphykeks]

PS:- I really miss your hounds😎😉

[@grandpaallie1553]

I cannot POSSIBLY be the Only One that [when Bjorn repeatedly said “Yoga Pants”] had some weird/disjointed/somewhat embarrassing/sophomorically-imbibed daydream of our Big Man trying his darnedest to achieve the Instructor’s ‘pose’ (and failing) …all whilst wearing‘Summer 2023’s’ must-have pair of LuluLemon Leggings! 😳😲🤩😎😏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👊🏻🤘🏻💪🏻

[@BjornOutdoors]

Hahaha!

[@enlighteneddespot9359]

"Primative"... so True. I watched Apocalypto with my wife and I commented that the hunters in opening were NOT primative because everything they did, everything they wore was totally integrated to their life, community, spirituality.... She answered... you mean "they were MORE primative"... and I insisted, not at all. We are primative in that our lives are dysfunctional and malaptive and we have to make up for that dysfunction with things, drugs, booze, glitter, distraction... Maybe I'll check out a course... Will I pass the test??? :)

[@BjornOutdoors]

You'll be very welcome! And yes, we often forget that it takes very little intelligence to use these modern items, while our ancestors had to be skilled and always perceptive.

[@thomasturner4253]

Nice knifes Carry some myself They are the handiest tools They have been tools about as long as there are people

[@aleinstein3223]

He was chased and murdered. Interesting story, so glad you are interested. I love how Bjorn talks about the old days, and he's talking about the year 800

[@grammamellow1219]

The Blade is nice. It looks blue 😮. Thank you for sharing. Does it rust? Does it need oil? I have a knife with the handle made from an elk horn. Huron. Steel blade. A bit larger than yours. I have used it to skin an elk and a deer. I did not have it when I was granted opportunity to skin a Buffalo. Yes, ME, A gramma. Skinning wild life. I was grateful for the learning experience. Carry on Bjorn and Friends. 🙋🏼‍♀️🛡💞

[@BjornOutdoors]

Hi there. And yes, it's 1095, so it will rust if you don't keep it clean and oil it.

[@catherinedeviney3270]

That is a beautiful area for a walk. I love the wilderness.

[@shaehatton656]

Unfortunately, I can't travel to Norway to support what you do but I hope your courses go well. Great content as always. Liked and subscribed.

[@mrorwell8890]

They gave Otzi the 'Cheddar Man' treatment recently...

[@davids11131113]

When I was in jr high school 8th grade I think I had a history teacher who taught me to knap an obsidian knife it’s about 5 inches blade length handle wrapped with leather strap I still have it, sharper than a razor.

[@BjornOutdoors]

That is awesome!

[@vigortheone3527]

I have to admit, I’m a little bit hesitant to purchase a knife you recommend again Björn. Last time I bought a knife from Virtues knives, he took my money and after that he said he had to take a break. Now we are more than a year later and he doesn’t reply to my emails and doesn’t refund the money. And as you probably know, it’s quite a bit of money. That’s not your fault of course, but that is a riks, when you promote a company.

[@BjornOutdoors]

That is horrible. I have tried to get hold of min as well. However, that should not affect your trust in my knife recommendation. I know knives, but I am sure you understand I can not know every single knife company out there. However, Condor is a big company and you can trust them.

DO YOU HAVE BUSHCRAFT VIDEOS?? AND IF YOU DO , HOW CAN I GET TO THE VIDEOS ???I WATCH YOUR SHOWS EVERYTIME I CAN FIND ONE!!!

Awesome! And thanks a lot. You will find bushcraft videos here, and also on my main channel @BjornAndreasBull-Hansen where I have playlists dedicated to that.

[@BjornOutdoors]

I can't remember which GoPro I have, but you will find information on that in my gear list (link in video description).

[@RevanJJ]

I love knives. We need to see more! I know you have a $hitload! I still prefer scandi grind myself.

[@BjornOutdoors]

More to come!

[@f.goossens8118]

I'm watching the whole vid. Love the Otzi knife most, probably because I'm a woman and there's a centuries long tradition of women wearing neck and cleavage knives. We're in Sweden, in the north. I'm 62 this year, an old woman, and going blind, but it's my intention to maintain what fitness level I can. So with my Border Collie and my bugout rucksack, I'm taking more hikes before winter hits. Realised recently I had this bugout bag ready and waiting but hadn't ever walked any length with it, which is stupid. So time to get used to the weight of it. Anyone else noticing Autumn is coming earlier this year? My Rowan trees are so heavy with berries I feel winter will be early and harsh too. I hope you make some winter bushcraft videos. Thanks for all the ones you do make already.

[@f.goossens8118]

PS, yes, crab apples. (I'm Scots). But eating them raw will generally give you bellyache. Cook them up, mix them with other fruits or make jam or jelly and they are fine. Same with Rowan berries (mountain ash). Eating them raw will give you gut trouble, but in Scotland they make Rowan Jelly with them and it's usually eaten with venison. Here in Sweden I haven't seen any Rowan Jelly for sale, so being lucky enough to have a few trees on my property, I'll make my own.

[@BjornOutdoors]

That's very wise, to hike with your bugout bag. And I really hope you can cope with reduced eyesight! Concerning this autumn, yes, I have noticed it too. It's early this year.

[@soundman2604]

What’s the second knife name?

[@cecilieconstancecorneliuss5509]

You look a litte in love there Bjørn 😊😊

yep crab apples. sour little suckers :)

[@PiterJ-d3v]

I'd love to take a bushcraft course. Maybe next year I can come to Norway when I've finnished my T4 campervan. I'll have to keep it in mind.

[@andretim75]

Dear Björn -- thanks for so many great videos which you are bringing up to share your recognition and understanding of the many challenges we are facing today ! Very important work and we are all very grateful for this ! I am also observing the sky - quite my whole life and I can only say that what we have nowadays is the most manipulated and misused sky that humanity ever had to encounter ! I took quite a number of photos of cloud formations which did not even exist 20 or 25 years ago at all. The way the skies are being milked by trails for days is in a shocking way unbelievable actually ! The technique of trails and Harp does now for many many years more and more unabashed form and produce the weather we have - it is not only a mere influence anymore ! OF course it is not easy to prove my words but the evidence is not to be overlooked anymore and the witnesses ( also from pilots ) for this development as well as the data which can be found and seen ( satellite-photos of the clouds and the way the form up and develop ) stand for what can not be denied anymore ! OF course this all comes with disasters like floods and droughts and it is often the result of a program that i would call as satanic as it get`s. They want exactly these results to support their climate change narrative ( climate is and was constantly changing throughout the history !! ) and it belongs to the agenda as well as it is being used to weaken the competitive countries and their economies ! ( the consequences for the inhabitants health-wise is not only taken into account but is another goal ! the limits of heavy metal values in rain water are often 50 or 100 or even more times higher than what would be allowed ! very often tested and shown on different channels - coming from scientists and people who let these data be analyzed in lavatories ! The results are very often shocking ! )
