two knives one fire

A very windy day in the woods, I process wood for a fire with the Mora Eldris and Fallkniven A1X.

[@jenkinsmig]

No Rob you carry on fella, I for one love the content, don't worry about the moaner and groaners they are always going to be keyboard warriors. They ain't usually found in the forest with gale force winds putting the hours in for us to enjoy, I was out getting a few rats for a farmer, I know the weather you were filming in. So cheers mate

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

It was a bit windy this morning!

[@jenkinsmig]

@@RobEvansWoodsman a bit of an understatement. Lol

[@oldfart9287]

Well done Rob, if people dont like the content then they can fast forward or not watch, there is no need to be offensive as you are a gentleman and admit to mistakes made and show them (not like some uploaders who edit out theirs) Keep doing ya thing we appreciate honesty and as I have said before thankyou for bothering to film for our benefit

Keep up the good work Rob. I spent some time at RAF Brawdy back in the 80’s. Enjoyed every minute in your country.

[@Ash__7]

Been after a premium large knife for this kind of work for a long while, and I think I've finally settled on the A1x. Great vid as always Rob

[@samthai818]

Yay, I'm the 300th thumbs up! Enjoyed the video!

[@thewoodlandschoolltd3999]

The A1x is an excellent choice 👌👍 True multirole/multipurpose knife.

Oh! I love that idea of the 4 splits that stay combined! It'll work like a huge match. I've been looking for a solution for lighting wet-ish wood when the flame goes out easily.

Great video as always please carry on as they are honest. I had trouble with a fire at scout camp recent.y as it was wet but persevered to show the kids it does not always go according to plan .

[@davidkelly414]

That's a great technique for feathersticking with a large knife . Thank you for the information. I cut my finger with my little Mora on a number of ocasions , not so with a larger knife . Cheers

You can use the sheath on the eldris to extend the handle, to give you a fuller grip.

That was fun. It's been raining here for most of the last two weeks. in the Southern Finger Lakes of New York. The man who bow hunts for deer has been skunked this weekend. I'm a wimp, I tend to avoid being outdoors working in the rain. Back in the day I had few choices especially when working.

I want to moan & groan, but I just can't seem to find a reason this week..... maybe next week. Must be that rotten weather. You know, I'm becoming quite fond of "Wobbly" the chopping block; I'm gonna miss her when she's gone. I almost cried when you banished "Old Faithful" :( That is good news that your wait list is getting longer, means you're doing it right. I certainly don't mind waiting after the first one I got. Thank you Sir, for another week of enjoyable vids........ I can almost feel the wind and smell the rain.

Ignore the keyboard warriors this is a great channel with fantastic content. More than that I always feel I can trust your opinion on tools etc which is an increasingly rare thing in KZbin! All the best mate and I look forward to more videos from you.

Keep up the videos and everything you're doing. Your content, video length, gear usage, narration...keep it all. Those things and your no BS approach are what make this channel so great. I put your videos on when I'm doing projects and they help keep me productive and buzzing right along, every minute of them.

[@MartiniDave02]

Hi Rob. I don't think you need to change your format. I like to see how you do things, I usually learn something from you, and often pick up a tip or two from something in the background too. Thanks for putting you videos out. PS - I love the Eldris, and would also love a slightly larger version. Cheers.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Rob ☺ nice demo, I've been holding back on buying an Eldris, but the more I see of it been used I think it's time I bought one ,and tried it for myself, the Falkniven is a super knife, and I can understand why you like it so much. Thanks for the video, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart uk.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Cheers Stu.

[@daemonharper3928]

You're better at using knives than me - the A1 is just a bit too big for my abilities and most of my tasks. I'll use a bigger knife than the A1 for battoning but it's pretty much exclusively battoning.

[@philleath-dawson2113]

Consistently good content and put across in an informative way...... The Mora Eldris is a great neck knife and comfortable to wear even with the wide handle which also makes it great for skinning. Keep them coming mate 👍👍

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Cheers Phil.

[@John_Dollar]

Great fire and vid my friend! Keep up the great work sir. When I can’t make it to the wood myself your videos keep me content until I return. I’ve found myself having a hard time returning to production knives once I went handmade and semi custom. How about you? Now to get my hands on one of your knives 🤘

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I find using semi customs like bark river awkward im fine with moras , obviously prefer a custom, ive been a cold steel fan for over 30 years and 20 for fallknivens, love them both.

[@schonbeardwildmark]

Great video! Keep the good work up! I love the A1x. Great survival knife but not the best for smaller work. Makes great feathers though! Since it is made for Swedish weather the handle is a bit smaller for using gloves. Thanks again!

[@arthurlambart7115]

Another great video. I've had a Eldris for year now and it's the best ferro rod striker I have. If you want a longer handle for it just put it in the sheath backwards.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

i totally forgot about that trick.

[@silverghost8517]

Rob, thanks for the great videos this week. Having trolls means you're going places. What I enjoy most is it's you doing what you love and we're just along for the ride. Thing is after having not been in the woods for 20 years and not having been in the woods doing my thing for 35 there's not a video I don't learn something from. For instance I'm keeping my issue Gore-Tex trousers I was thinking of getting rid of and reevaluate the neck knife I got as a gift some time ago (CRKT Minimalist Bowie). I was eying the Mora and then found the CRKT at the bottom of my old ALICE pack. Good times. Anyway thanks again and I'm looking forward to the next video (or several if that's how you do them).

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

thanks, i appreciate it

[@daeholm]

One of the unfortunate parts of KZbin is that as a channel grows it attracts trolls. It's just the nature of the beast. Don't let them get to you because they can drive you crazy. I've seen it happen on other channels where a creator became so obsessed with his detractors that it set a negative tone over the whole production. Remember that the overwhelming majority of your viewers really enjoy the content just fine as it is. BTW was that guy really incapable of scrolling through the video to the saw part? Too high tech an operation for him?

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I dont want to dwell on trolls , luckily it dosent happen very often, i will argue my point, i cant just leave it there. ive been told by other youtubers to just delete the trolls and not to give them a second thought.

[@JohannSwart_JWS]

Hi Rob, thanks again for a good video. Nice to see the Eldris in action. Always wondered what you would say about it. Just one question - have you encountered any knives from Helle (Norway), and if so, what's your opinion? I don't recall seeing any content in your channel about them. Cheers.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

never owned a helle but used the Les Stroud knife once which was fine.

[@mikejeffsteel]

Nice video Rob! Do you think grinding a 90 degree spine on a machete is useful or not?

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

The spine on a Matchette is probably soft , it would scrape shavings for firelighting for a while but won't last.

[@whiskeyriver4322]

Wow, that's a good question. Living in Panama for two years, I never thought about it. You're probably right Rob, soft steel; but I might try a small section above the handle, just to see how it goes. I don't use the machete much anymore these days, but you never know what the future holds. Thanks Mike_Jeff_Steel

As Azeem said " Allah loves wondrous variety". On a site like this Rob you will always get the odd commenter with a different view to the rest of us, the world is full of people who enjoy criticising for the sake of it. Ignore it.

[@karenputt3383]

I don’t watch your videos because they are pretty. I watch them because you like fires like I do and because you are forthright. The only thing that is annoying is the change in volume from section to section. Not sure if it is my viewing platform or if that is something you can fix in the editing process.

Et tu, Rob! Mora Eldris? I bought one while back thinking to have a fixed blade on me all the time, edc stuff, concealed if possible, right? Comments I got from the people are quite interesting to say the least. They asked me if I was growing a third boob when I wore on my neck. If I was happy to see them when I had it in my pocket. I like the knife as a good functioning tool, but enough was enough. It is hung on the wall now (I don't sell my knives). I got Tops Mini Scandi and CRKT Minimalist. No comment from no one. Quite concealed and ready to go to work. I never thought of you as a whiney bitch. I think of you as a big softie for not going on to Alone because you will miss the Yorkshire Tea which tastes like a cake.
