Bushcraft Knife Skills!

[@getsmart3701]

Great to see an American survival channel use a normal knife for once and not the usual MASSIVE tactical, Rambo(III)-esque knife. Good show sir and great information. Thank you it.

[@outdoorlife5396]

That where my thoughts also. I am guessing at best this knife is about 4 1/2 probably 5 inches. Plenty of knife. My EDC is a cold steel about 4 1/4 inches. I have a 6 1/2 for the field, I use it for camping. But that is the biggest one I have. The only exception I can think of is a Kurki for camping. But use what you got.

[@mikafoxx2717]

​@@outdoorlife53964.1 inches. And it's not a sharpened prybar that barely cuts anything.

[@eternaladventure-wm5fn]

Also you can tape a sewing needle and a fish hook or two to the sheath before you wrap with paracord. The inner strands of the paracord can be used as sewing thread or fishing line as a backup.

[@FishTheJim]

You can fold them up in duct tape and then wrap the handle. That way you can carry more stuff.

[@eternaladventure-wm5fn]

@@FishTheJimWrap which handle?

[@hiramhaji7813]

You should have your own channel, SO genus

[@FishTheJim]

@@eternaladventure-wm5fn lol whoops I did mean to say sheath. :)

[@eternaladventure-wm5fn]

@@hiramhaji7813 Well, it’s useful information that wasn’t mentioned in the video that some people might not think of. That’s the great thing about youtube and human life: people can comment and share information. It’s the whole reason why we have languages. If you don’t like it move on.

[@11b4life.]

Andrew enters the forest with a knife....the next day a new city is named...one of the best channels there is. Thank you sir.

[@dposting2941]

Think about this dude - a ranger - telling us a solid but inexpensive knife ..no big deal if something happens to it vs the ace cost of knives on all those "Knife Review" channels by dudes you can tell spend most of their time just playing videos games and pretend man. Almost never one under a $100

[@cindyjean3208]

…. I even carry an oversized pocketknife in my purse… each vehicle.. To go bags… I’ve learned so much from your channel… A knife isn’t just a knife… It’s an undeniable survival tool must have… Thanks for all you do😊 Have a safe and blessed week, Andrew and everyone reading this post…🙏🏻😍

[@elizabeththompson4424]

I carry a Spyderco Resilience in my purse and a Victorinox Sentinel in my waist bag both fairly large blades

Great video from a great instructor that shows you don't have to buy a 300 dollar knife to survive if you use a little common sense and learned skills. Appreciate you as always

[@NewHampshireJack]

This Mora is the exact knife we chose for our young troops for their first fixed blade. One thing we noticed was that rubber bands made from bicycle innertubes did not last in our tropical environment. We experimented with several different tubes to find the best sizes for our applications. Next, we may purchase brand new innertubes in an attempt to get a longer-lasting band. If anyone has a better, long-term solution to bicycle innertube rubber, please post it, it will certainly be of help to many viewers. Thank you, Ranger, for the video, we always walk away with new and useful information

[@jasonprairie9968]

@NewhampshireJack you can use the thickest o-rings you can find from hydraulics or auto parts to hold the knife in the sheath. I have one on mine i have used for years. You just have to experiment a bit to find the right size. Hope this helps.

[@eternaladventure-wm5fn]

I would try shock cord (stretchy cord)

[@joseph401]

Try a girls pony tail holder. Those thngs last for years

[@NewHampshireJack]

@@jasonprairie9968 Thank you, great idea. I have an assortment of O-rings for doing small repairs but none were large enough. There are a plethora of auto parts and hydraulic repair shops located along the General Douglas MacArthur National Highway. Our OPhilippine subdivision is located directly off the highway so I am thinking of a short walk on a cool morning and we may have a solution.

[@NewHampshireJack]

@@eternaladventure-wm5fn Thank you for yet another viable option. I have seen a few videos where the creator purchased this material in bulk for doing repairs to camp gear. Sadly, we became very busy and did not order. Placing an order will have to go on the to-do list ASAP.

[@DanielBelliveau-y5x]

Once again coming through with good tips, I really liked the one for lighting the matches on the etched knife logo.

[@markblocker4565]

A new one for me, too. Seems obvious in hindsight. But you know what they say about that...😊

Thank you for showing these rather useful basics. Your presentation is more professional and refined than most on KZbin. Much less macho and ego involved.

Thanks again Andrew, like you said a survival knife is the one you have with you. It pays to try these skills before you might need them. My first bushcraft knife was the Mora Companion HD. I scraped the rounded back across a carbide sharpening rod for my 90° back. I have many more knives now but still use my Companion and will now modify the sheath as you showed. Keep these videos coming I like your style of relaying the information Cheers 🇨🇦

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Andrew😊 thanks for another interesting video, you can't beat a mora knife for giving you the best bang for your buck, so cheap and light maybe it would be a good idea to carry two, one thing I would add is a small sharpening device , like a DC4 diamond/ ceramic stone , as trying to find a suitable stone in the field is not always possible., and practice using it before shtf happens. Stay safe Major, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

Something to think about with Mora knives. Since they're inexpensive you can buy two and set them up the same way. Wear one on your belt and the other in your pack. It'll cover the 1 is none two is one mentality. Very good knives!

[@abetterfuture4787]

You are absolutely one of the best channels for this type of content. Out of curiosity, how many feet of 550 cord were you able to get around that handle? For an improved version, use that paracord which has the fire cord and fishing line inside of it. And you could easily fit a strong canvas needle and a few fishing hooks between the cord and the sheath, "Sealed" between a piece of duct tape. So put that on the front of the sheath. And then between the cord and the back of the sheath, some charcloth.

[@jds0406]

I started further up on the sheath than he did but I got a solid 8-9 feet of cord on mine.
