Traditional Siberian Tribesman's Axe Sheath

[@mikecolon3751]

You know it's gonna be a good afternoon when Lars post a video right when you sit down for lunch.

[@geepcj2a]

That's certainly much nicer looking than the old piece of garden hose I have on my ax!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Garden hose and fuel line work well :)

[@taofledermaus]

That crawler looks really cool. Seems unstoppable!

[@SurvivalRussia]

It's awesome :)

[@Sum4Seb]

Hej / Здравствуй / Hi Lars :) Definitely UPLOAD the video footage of you skiing through the forest! We love seeing your little adventures. Interesting sheath, we had not seen that before so thank you for sharing, simple yet effective. We hope you get back to full health soon!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Great pics of the old pioneers. It also reminds me of the Wild Days of the Old West in the US. You should upload the video from your trip. I just enjoy seeing the beautiful scenery where you live. Thank you for your hard work and dedication in bringing us these videos. Awesome axe sheath as well, really like the new version.

[@Gmodfan13]

Nice, thank you Lars! By the way, my axe's sheath has got a leather strip that goes around the handle, right underneath the head. This way the sheath cannot fall off.

[@tomritter493]

Great little sheath like the toggle idea God speed o n the cold take care brother

[@MrJRW1]

Hi Lars! I hope you feel better. You are so hardcore that you post vids even when you are not feeling well, and you do it with a smile too! I sent some funds back when you needed tires for the SR vehicle, it’s been a while, so it’s about time that I dig deep and see what I can do to help. That crawler footage was awesome! We have to get the money so you can build one! Thanks for all the great videos, I always learn something new and interesting. Let’s send what we can guys! Be well Lars!

[@stephenkuron6906]

I really liked the old photos,thank you.

[@k1ckyscotland988]

Simplist things are usually the best Lars. Knowing my luck,I'd end up getting blood poisoning from a wood splinter. Great video as always.

[@stephenbirkhead8329]

Great video!! Thanks for sharing the lost art of making something yourself.

[@chrisosh9574]

I have a leather hatchet cover I made, it took me about three hours after I had designed it plus the leather is probably worth about €10, yours was made from a piece of free wood and took maybe half an hour and has a few cents worth of para cord and it does the same job. The only thing mine has that yours doesn't is a belt loop that can be used left or right handed or go on any other strap but I have never used it, the hatchet always goes in a bag or pack. Now I'm going to make an Evenk axe cover, more durable and easy to replace. I had a look at the Mini-crawler video, that thing is just amazing, I see why you want one, it will make a lot more things possible for the channel.

[@crosscountryoutdoors2472]

I hope you’re feeling better soon. I live in Oklahoma USA. I got into axes lately, and now have kind of a collection. I make gun holsters and work with leather quite a bit.so I made masks for most of my axes. I am very impressed with your hand made wooden axe mask. Primarily because of the history of its use in your country! Nice video. I did subscribe and clicked on the notifications bell.

[@robertfoote3255]

The pictures are reminiscent of all the harty souls that braved the wilderness, hardships, and elements. You can see the practical knowledge in all they do and have. It's matters not where they were from! They were all a breed of their own! Different yet the same! 😀 A view of the river in the quiet winter forest are "nature's portraits" of art that are matched by no man! Ever! Show me. I have a ax sheath of rawhide laced Willow slats that ties on and protects the edge and my other equipment. The two half's were hollowed out than laced together....both of those are just a functional. So you wound up with a dose of nasty city germs from the visit.....sickness and dispare are traits of populated areas....It's just the way it is..... Best Wishes Lars..😀

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much for the shout out! It is greatly appreciated!!! Michael & Esme 🐶 Hope you feel better soon!

[@SurvivalRussia]

You deserve it :)

[@davesmith1771]

2 minutes, fastest I've made it! Thanks for everything Mr. Survival Russia!

[@dominicbarratt3433]

Yay just finished work. Deciding on what to watch with my brew. You pop up. Great work my friend. Thanks for making the decision for me👍🏻 cheers Dom.

[@djebat88]

Great video Sir. Thank you. One suggestion. Instead of the paracord, you can use a bungee paracord.

[@Toad_Hugger]

Awesome video as always Lars! A sheath isn't much use if it ends up falling off! I like your design with the toggle idea. I think it would work well and make the process a lot quicker and less clumsy. Thanks for all the great videos and honesty!

[@DonnaConrady]

We have a large French Canadian population here and I agree with you :) Feel better Lars. -Donna

[@PresidentoftheManosquare]

I just made one where I used a toggle bit I used it to wrap the cord around it. The leather is on the bottom hole and the toggle is on the top hole. You wrap the cord around a few times bottom to top and then you wrap the remaining cord around the toggle. It acts like a quick release.

[@TheKellouise]

Thanks for another great video Lars, I have just the hatchet waiting for a sheath like that.

[@quantum470]

Thanks for yet another entertaining and informative video! I think you should involve The Pink Ninja a bit more often - it would be fun to se you teaching her some bushcraft/survival skills! If she's interested! :)

[@throatnotchingtroutzzz6789]

Nice video. About the not uploaded footage. 15 minutes of winter forest is never a bad thing. :o) "Mini crawler" looks great. Really understand, that you want one. Nice day!!

[@gusgone4527]

I'd be tempted to use a piece of old inner tube and make an elasticated strap to hold it in place. Maybe incorporate a sharpening stone too. Anyway, good video. Get well Lars.

[@michaelannett1322]

Hello. hope you recover quickly and rest well. Please post video of ski trip to the river, The scenery is awesome in your videos. Thank you

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you :)

[@Dan-sn6vn]

I also would like to see the ski video!

[@kaaajeee]

that's just genious simple way to sheath an axe. i am so surprised this is not world wide thing. I just made one for a friends axe i'm restoring. it took a second, but such an essential bonus every axe should come with.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Less is more. It's simple and genius.

[@tonyfelts1512]

Nice idea ...like the pics of the old timers....tough men ...but had to be just like my Dad and Grandfather......you need some Mullin for that congestion...we've had same thing here...take care Lars!

[@enolwlfe]

Greetings from the u.s. I'm new to your channel Awesome video, & thank you for the info on the sheath, I just made one in my garage just like your older one that you showed in the video, I prefer this style over anything modern, that crawler is really cool, 👍💪

[@Leatherbark]

I have that knife without the hawk bill blade and it was called the "Soldier" It has the can opener, bottle opener both with screwdrivers , the Drill bit blade and a sheepsfoot blade.

[@eron17]

This is the most underappreciated axe I know. Especially if you look at the price when keeping mind this is a hand made Swedish axe.

[@SurvivalRussia]

It's a good axe :)

[@smeltingmongoose]

Awesome and entertaining video. Thank you. I’m deffinetly making this sheath.

[@jakobhanson805]

First time viewer. Look forward to watching more of your previous and new content. Cheers from Texas!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks!

[@FelixImmler]

Hallo Lars. Schönes Projekt! Hat mich gefreut Dich mal mit einem Taschenmesser in der Hand zu sehen :-D Liebe Grüsse Felix

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you Felix :) A very good pocket knife.

[@kurtbaier6122]

“committed sacrilege “ LOL. Saving P cord is an impractical obsession. Loved the sheath.

[@fumasterchu12]

This was an awesome idea as usual, and I really like the idea of adding the toggle as a keeper. That is a a great little knife too, the Swiss Army 7. Hoping you have a safe and awesome filled week brother!

[@markm1138]

dang ! mini crawler!!! ..cant wait to see it. glad im a patreon Lars !

[@englishteacher1260]

Glad you mentioned Mike and his dog I have been subed to his channel for some time now.

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks Lars , always a pleasure to learn more from you . Thanks for sharing !

[@riccartwright5623]

i got a hatchet that doesn't have a sheath I'm going to give this a try... i like this ideal Thanks enjoyed the video

[@logicaredux5205]

Loved the Ivink tech! I also loved the pictures of the old Russian pioneers. It reminds me of the fact that America and Russia had a great relationship in the 19th Century. It would be nice to get back to that but so many things stand in the way. God willing maybe one day! Take care of yourself Lars! There’s some nasty bugs floating around the globe these days. 😃

[@gusgone4527]

Well said. The end of the Cold War, should have seen a reunification of the former USSR and the western world, as allies. Russia as part of a new NATO. It seems we have a common enemy in islam.

[@ImixSpb]

Slight correction: Our common enemy is radical Islam. About 20 million Muslims live in Russia, and we don't have any problems with them. The fact is that our joint existence with them has formed naturally without political foul play and manipulations. We've been living side by side for centuries. Frankly, I would rather have a true believer Muslim neighbor, but not a crazy globalist. And as for radical Islam, yes, it's a dangerous adversary.

[@logicaredux5205]

ImixSpb - Point very well taken friend! There is a big difference between Islam and “Radical Islam.” People who just want to live in peace should be no one’s enemy regardless of their religion. You were right to point this out.

[@ImixSpb]

Logica Redux - Radical Islam tries to reach Russia its tentacles. Unfortunately, it succeeds sometimes. I must say they aren't stupid guys and know what to do to achieve the goal. Big money is their prime weapon. It's only necessary to block the radicals ' finances so they will lose.

[@logicaredux5205]

ImixSpb - Yes, it is funding that that makes them possible. I think you and I understand each other. This operation has been ongoing since the 1980’s with the funding, arming and training of the Mujahideen. I know Russians know all about that. It has never stopped. Everything points to a source that has turned the whole radical Jihadist movement into a private proxy army throughout the Islamic world and beyond. It goes by many names. In fact, the names often change. But the source is the same. That source is the deepest part of the “Dark State.” We sometimes call them “[C]haos [I]n [A]ction.” Study the name and you will understand. Unfortunately for us all, such an organization cannot simply be switched off like a light bulb. Many have died and many more will. Even a President of the United States. Perhaps another will also.

[@sasquatchlifenotrace8024]

Neat project. Definitely share your trip, why not. I've known a few guys who look just like the ones in your photos.

[@Blueswailer]

Was just going to go to bed(past 9PM now and I have to wake up early), don't have many hours to sleep. But first, Survival Russia video! Things must be prioritized, after all. Hopefully you are able to head to the forest when you plan to, getting sick is not awesome. That sheath however, is awesome. Take care Lars!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you Algiz :)

[@stefanodogg280]

I'm a full shop woodworker and will make one from spalted maple, great idea! BTW I take 10,000 IUs of vitamin D every day and no longer get sick

[@craigmooring2091]

I think the toggle is a good idea; it would be much less cumbersome than tying & untying and quicker. Take care of yourself, Lars. Don't overdo or rush your healing.

[@gregsummers7350]

Good jobs Lars. I had a look at the Russian mini crawler or LMT (Lars' Mini Tank). The LMT trailer, with your pulk/sled, can be towed your SRV. You will need a set of loading rails from the back sill of the SRV rear tray body, NOT the SRV's little folding tail gate. You can make a bracket for the front of the LMT to take the SRV winch. This is an outstanding project and will be great information and training for the viewers.

[@SurvivalRussia]

It's an awesome and interesting vehicle :)

[@andrewsmith1606]

I've seen a paracord toggle knot on KZbin, no idea how effective they are but would be cool if it could work! :)

[@davidrasch3082]

Love the picture of the old Russian pioneer with a CHINA teapot on a log to his right! Camping with style. LoL

[@Parksandsoul]

This was awesome to watch. I may try this for my hatchet. I really dig the idea of a toggle.

[@SurvivalRussia]

It works really well.

[@natuur_in_nederland]

Hello Lars, you might think you skiing through the woods, looking for trails is not that interesting, but it really is. Please upload! Regards,

[@kaaajeee]

I just made some decoration teeth on the front edge of the sheath and wrapped the cord multiple times around that shoulder just under the head. looks nice too

[@dilexipeccavi6205]

Some of my favourite videos are ones that you begin without a real plan. If you do decide to upload the sore throat video from the other day, I guarantee you that I'll watch it in its entirety. Dilexi in Canada

[@EdwardKowalski]

Mini crawler, yaaa! Looking forward to this, I watched so many videos in Russian, English will be a treat. Snow Dog brand has dealers in Canada, they are very rare. Be well and awesome. :)

[@realmetis8002]

im subed to the emporium now 1 year. esme is awesome oh and mike is ok to.. hahahaha hello and happy new year from Canada

[@kc8omg]

You can hear that -22 temperature in the way the snow crunches under your feet at the beginning of video, I'd recognize that sound anywhere :)

[@GriffinBenchmark]

Is that a wool jacket you're wearing? Absolutely love that thing if it is! 👍👌🤔

[@SurvivalRussia]

Yes. Wool Anorak actually :) A friend of mine makes them. Trousers too.

[@MrJRW1]

If your friend is willing, I bet they could make some money selling some of those wool anorak jackets and trousers. I know I would order one and I am sure there are some other subscribers that would place an order too!

[@Elvapej]

Awesome video man, keep the good work up👍🏼

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you :)

[@Bob-eo3gf]

Nice axe sheath Lars, hope you feel better.

[@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397]

Looks good Lars... I'd probably run in a piece of old bicycle inner tube or silicone (not latex-based) fishing snubber on your wooden design instead of cordage. I have made several in this way using 3000D Urethane fabric (vs. leather) from my raft shop... and also the black recycled UHMW, HDPE plastics and so on. Awesome in the super cold or wet conditions. Hope ya feel better... sunshine and daylight hours are returning!!!

[@GriffinBenchmark]

Love the axe too! Can you talk a little about the axe you have there too?

[@SurvivalRussia]

Nothing special. Hultafors Agdor :) A good small axe though.

[@ArcheryRuleZ]

@@SurvivalRussia a video of throwing axes would rule !!

[@mushercdn]

I would like to see the video about the trip to the river. You have chickadees? I thought I heard some. Thanks for the video.

[@mrhalfstep]

Great video! You are correct, those guys in the picture could easily have been from the frontier days here in The States or Canada, eh. I am going to your Patreon site right now to make a contribution because I think that tracked contraption is the shits and I what to see one on this channel. That video was awesome.

[@csh6220]

A small bungee cord might work to keep the sheath secure, with easy on/off.

[@jameslane2667]

Good review always good videos Happy Valentine's Day to your family James KCMO 🙌

[@joetaylor2932]

Awesome video Lars!

[@cbftoan01]

You could put an elastic bungy cord on the sheath and just stretch it over the back of the axe head. That would save tying knots.

[@tazmun]

I think the original design is actually better because it has the two Loops going around the shape on the ends and I think that will keep it from splitting out. When I first saw that idea you were talking about that was the first question that came to my mind is how do you keep the sheath from splitting out the first time the axe comes down hard on the sheath. The cordage loop won't completely stop a split out but it will go quite a ways towards protecting it... Obviously I've not made one this is only a theory

[@MrJacobryborg]

this method has been used in japan for thousands of years too. the wooden sheath won't split unless you actually try to split it :)

[@TheGraniteFlaneur]

That looks like some cosy clothing!

[@kimchionruis]

I think the "clumsiness" of the design is intended. As someone who is looking up ideas for a sheath to replace the one I lost a few weeks ago. Nice thick leather with brass rivets. Marttiini trail axe, I think. Closest thing I could find to a trade tomahawk at the beginning of vacation. The steel is too soft. Anyways, I lost the bloody thing because I could put it on and it would stay hanging through my belt, without closing the snap. You don't want to lose your ax sheath. Your ax is fucking sharp. You sharpened it. When you want to sheath it, sheath it with attention. There has to be some habitual process that you have to pay attention to briefly to remember and be sure that you have your sheath. No matter how cold, tired, hungry, or scared you get, you'll remember your sheath. I'm serious, when you need it, you really need it. Personally I'm leaning towards Baltic birch plywood with thin fabric liner with beeswax and non-curing oil. I will also dig into my rare earths strategic reserve and employ stout neodymium and brass trigger release mechanism. I have time and scrap metal.

[@MG.50]

Great old photos. Not just Canada but old photos of Western US hunters, trappers & many of the early miners looked much the same. Influenza epidemic in every state here in the US except Hawaii (last I looked). It's not the worst flu I have ever had, but it is aggressive (easily transmitted) and hangs on. I have had it twice now (!), and I relapsed a couple if times on the first one. Just got over it, and my wife won't let me out of the house! Many people getting secondary infections (pneumonia, etc) that are worse than the initial flu. Be careful, as it sounds like this is in other countries, too, though I have not heard of it specifically in Russia from my inlaws there.

[@southernbushcraft7357]

Lar's, Do you have a video on how to make cordage?

[@TheHoofrider]

If this Victorinox also has a big knife saw and a canopener, it's called the Harvester (brother to the Farmer) and is pretty hard to find!

[@SurvivalRussia]

No can opener. On the Victorinox site it's called "Swiss Army 7" :)

[@TheHoofrider]

Dammit i meant bottle opener! It’s great to see the Harvester still for sale as the Army 7!

[@davidboesenberg9712]

My vote goes for seeing the animal tracks video. I'm a care giver and get out to go shopping and not much more. What isn't a big deal to you might be really interesting for us "city slickers" as my generation calls them in America.

[@terrysmith4465]

Awesome, thanks from Florida

[@thebaron1]

Great video brother from the UK 🇬🇧

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks 👍

[@KaylynnStrain]

very cool upgrade on an old traditional style. I would love to see your ski video

[@NCrdwlf]

Do the Evenki have an autonomous culture like the Lapps and Eskimos. In that Russia let’s them do their own thing as far as subsistence hunting and all ?

[@Cruciface]

What is the spelling of the Siberian Tribesman your talking about? Love the content/channel!

[@SurvivalRussia]

The Evenki.

[@johnmutton799]

the pioneers that went to America and Canada came from all over the world. And considering that men and women who came from Russia must have thought that the land was similar in places. And they knew how to survive.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Thanks Lars, Take care.

[@knarlygnivesandoutdoors8034]

Lars I'll watch any video you post 😊, if it isn't too much trouble to do you should once in a while make video compilations of your unused footage and they can be more for the regular viewers who loves watching you. Stay warm my friend. -Kyle

Thank you Lars .

[@loupiscanis9449]

Is there any Etsy shop where one can get the Siberian axe/sheath, and the knife with the birch shealth?

[@SurvivalRussia]

No. Sorry.

Thanks nice and simple. 👍🇨🇦

[@robduchesne7223]

Wow the old timing man of Russia are like super model compared to the old french Canadian woodmen of the north.lol very cute with most of there teeth,bahaha

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I hope you get feeling better soon Lars! No fun being sick. All the more reason to stay in the woods away from people!

[@Powderainee]

Hi Lars - yes please upload your trip down to the river 😉

[@crazycanuck007]

Mini crawler reminds me of the old Bolens Diablo Rouge we had in the 60's when I was a kid, great on flat compact snow, a bitch in deep snow...just say'n

[@SurvivalRussia]

On these you can mount a third track in the middle for deep snow.

[@crazycanuck007]

SR, I look forward to seeing your mini crawler adventures!

[@Eric-ew8jt]

Lars feel better my friend, I was wondering where you got the awesome pullover? And do you have a link. thank you in advance, it's damn cold tonight in Yellowknife

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you Eric :) I got it in Sweden. It's Norwegian Army surplus.

[@maritimespook]

That is very cool Lars i am in need for a sheath so i will sometime try to make one ....Cheers my friend !! ,;,;,;, Spook
