Windy day in Lapland

I will be doing a video on the NKD and the Wood knife very soon.I was intending on talking about them today, but the audio was just too bad.
music from audionautix.com the best place I know for royalty free music.

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Very nice!! Here has been also extremely Windy lately. Liking the Woodsknife Predator! Thanx for the video Tim!

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

The Predator is a really nice knife. I think you would like it. Another nice mixture of classic bushcraft knife and Finnish puukko. Thanks for watching Llari.

[@singingtoad]

A beautiful day in a winter wonderland, thanks for sharing. Those are some cool puukko knives, btw. Putting butter in hot chocolate is a new one for me, but I can see how having the extra calories would be useful in those conditions. 👍Take care my friend and Cheers!

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Thanks mate, calories always good when it's cold and they are more condensed in the form of fat. Thank you very much for watching the video and have a great weekend.

[@SouthernJaeger]

Beautiful day and landscape

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

@@SouthernJaeger Thank you my friend. I am lucky to live in a very beautiful part of the world.

“A good outdoors person knows what’s biting them” is a mid-quote, that I read somewhere. So, when the wind try’s to bite you, it is good to have more than one way to get a fire lit. You have that covered, just have too many pockets to look into. I have that problem also. Enjoy the sunshine,

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Also a good idea to have some emergency tinder on you. I carry firelighters in my wallet, but try not to use them. A good filmmaker would have the fire he was trying to light in shot😂. I was disappointed in myself when I came to edit the video. When it comes to firelighting it is definitely good to have a few options at hand. Thanks for watching mate.

[@kanukkarhu]

Great to see you out in a sunny winter day! Enjoy it!

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Thank you very much mate. Nice and warm at the moment too. It was below - 40 not very long ago, it's crazy. Thanks for watching mate.

[@John..18]

Just for your info,, here in the north of England, we've had rain nearly every day for several months now, and (named) storm, after storm,, ☔🤯💦🌪️,, Thank goodness we haven't had serious snow tho',,, All the best my friend,, 😂

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Constant rain in the north of England. What a surprise 😂 Eventually we will evolve to have webbed feet. Selafield might help with that. Thanks for watching John.

[@MichaelR58]

Nice to visit with you again , thanks for sharing YAH bless !

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Thank you for stopping by again Michael. Always good to hear from you. God bless

[@lalli8152]

Windy down here in Savo as well. Weather getting warmer, but i always feel bit sad this time of year when the snow from the trees dissappear.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

I am just so happy to see the sun again. We have lost the snow from the trees but it will be back before summer comes. So warm at the moment, - 44 just a couple of weeks ago. It's crazy weather. Thanks for watching mate.

[@ArielleViking]

Sure looks beautiful out there in spite of the wind. 👍🏻

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

So nice to see the sun again. I was trying to light a fire and make a video. The wind is terrible for both those things. It's beautiful though here on these sunny winter days. Thanks for watching Arielle.

[@davidkoci6616]

Super video my friend 👍🍀🤠

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Thank you David, glad you liked the video.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Tim 😊good to see you again, hot chocolate whith butter, real Arctic comfort drink, and it's nice to see knives that actually see some proper use, and not some mint condition wall hanger. The weather looks great, although a bit windy for you, and where's Uni ?, missed her hogging the limelight,lol. Thanks for the video mate, stay safe, best wishe's, Stuart Uk.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Unni was working, she doesn't mind. She likes her dogs. I always think when putting the dogs together how different their enthusiasm when it comes to work. I like to imagine the bus on a Monday morning with everyone all exited, jumping around and shouting, sometimes fighting. Sounds more like the bus on Friday night. I should film Unni, in line and waiting for clients, totally different animal. I have some shiny knives that don't get much use too. Actually mostly not shiny, mostly antiques. Those two knives have certainly seen a lot of use, two work horses. Thanks for watching Stuart.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Crazy weather everywhere my friend. This time last year on the 29th we had -38C, windchill -51C and today we have plus 3c with a few inches of snow. The wind sure makes it hard to melt snow and boil water. Have yourself a safe one out there brother!

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

We have had a similar change in temperature in about a week here. - 44 to about 0 😂. Was brutally cold for a week and now it's the warmest January weather I have experienced here. It's crazy Dan. Thank you very much for stopping by mate.

[@Cuchillosydemascosas]

Buenisimo . Muy buena idea el uso de la pala . 👍. Un abrazo

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Gracias Miguel, una pala de nieve se lleva casi siempre aqui, por eso encontemos muchas mas usos por la heramienta. Gracias por ver el video amigo.

[@edwinmason123]

Not the easiest of conditions to make a brew! Those butter calories should keep you going for a while...... Beautiful scenery and the knife looks interesting. Take care, Eddie.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Fat is a very compact concentrated way of getting calories inside you. You burn a lot of calories in the winter. Particularly on long ski trips ect a good suply of butter is a very good idea. Thanks for watching Eddie.

[@edwinmason123]

May I call you Tim?@@KuukkeliBushcraft

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

Butter hmmm I'm sure that makes it a lot hartier. Probably nice for quick energy. Looks like a nice day Tim. If somebody drops butter in your Cocoa here, It's probably going to be a wild walk home😂.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Fat is good, expecially if you are as skinny as I am😂. Burn calories faster than I can eat. How's your winter Travis? You got much snow over there?

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

@@KuukkeliBushcraft It's been snowing heavy in the mountains. We've had a lot of avalanches and Slides this year. Roads are snowed out like it was the nineties again. Down in the valley where I live it's been pouring rain. Kind of a weird warm winter. Did battle with a snake the other day, could not believe my eyes.

[@harrylowry-jd9hs]

Aw man 2 good of a video n 2 many thnx 2 send 4 it ...loved the tunes ..local artist ? No worries to you n unni and b well !

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Tunes from one of these royalty free websites. There is some good stuff on there. I do use some traditional Saami music on some of my videos but there is actually not very much that I am allowed to use. Thanks for watching mate. Best wishes from me and the Unni beast.

[@joegrady2975]

We had a bit of nasty cold and snow last week,, 😂,,, 6" and single digit temps for a few days. Can't say I envy you where you are 😁,,, No Unni??

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

The Unni beast was busy, pulling fat English tourists around on a dog sled. Thankfully she enjoys her job more than any human alive. I should film her waiting to run 😂 talk about Dr Jeckel and Mr Hyde. She gets just a tad excited. It's actually really warm for the end of January now. It was - 40 Fahrenheit not long ago. It's Crazy. Thanks for watching Joe

[@8626John]

Good to see you back.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Thank you very much my friend. Not been gone long. It does kind of get busier in the winter working in the dog sledding industry 😂. Thanks for watching John.

[@glennicholl6909]

quite windy here last week, patio furniture and bbq went for trip..............even had to tie a rope to the youngest child lol hope ur well mate.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

It doesn't often get really windy here.usually just enough to mess with the audio on the vids🤣. Weather is not behaving itself at the moment though. We had from -44 to 0 in a week. Thanks for watching Glenn. Great to hear from you mate.

[@robertolobo4660]

👌🏼

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

[@JimTimber]

I've got wind.. all the cabbage soup I imbibe ! lol Stay safe and warm my friend !! Cheers to you bro !! 🍻 ..sweet knife !!

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Thanks Andy, yes the matches are great. These are only the cheap crappy ones too. I got a box of the posh ones somwhere. Thanks for watching mate.

[@JimTimber]

@@KuukkeliBushcraftSuperb !!..stay warm brother !!.. awesome !!

[@ed5042]

thank you for another great video! Now I have a question, do you create a second narrow bevel at the edge of your scandi blades? Years ago I was clearing heavy grass, very light branches for a ground blind with my Marttiini 6 inch leuku and found I had chips in the blade, tiny, but chips so I added subtly a secondary bevel, Very subtle . My food prep etc scandi's stay 'scandi though. your thoughts please since I noticed you and apparently Scandinavian carpenters use their knives for everything, I grew up using a utility blade and a wood chisel in my apron!

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

As you did with your leuku, I adjust the bevel to suit. It depends on the height of the grind, the steel and the use. If I have problems with chipping I will put a secondary bevel on and have convinced grinds that I think are too low. Just taking down the shoulder above the bevel a little. Something I am just going to use for wood carving I would definitely keep at a 0 grind scandi. I really like higher scandi grinds and they do often need a small secondary bevel. I hope this answers your question mate. Thanks for watching.

[@ed5042]

THANK YOU! Yes you have answered my question! @@KuukkeliBushcraft

[@scottangel6462]

Nice blades sir. Where can they be obtained?
