Knives and axes, rucksacks...outdoorsy stuff.
Lee Enfield web sling installation, the right way.
After watching dozens and dozens of videos on Lee Enfield rifles, I've noticed way too many rifles with the web sling mounted incorrectly. This is the correct way.

Kailash Blades Pensioner Khukuri. kailashblades.com/product/pensioner/ Awesome traditional Khukri that I haven't had the chance to really put through it's paces so opted for a 'coffetabletop' review and comparison to a couple other khukris.
Trail camera 1 year in the bush

My movie editor wouldn't mix my android phone video with these trail cam photos, so I opted for a slideshow. Batteries lasted over a year, pretty awesome. 400 photos. It's a 9 km hike to where that unicorn bull is, so I think he's safe, as long as he doesn't stray too far away during the rut!

Fairbairn-Sykes Commando?.... or Bushcraft knife?
Просмотров 5 тыс.3 года назад
Armchair experts will tell you that the Fairbairn-Sykes Commando knife (dagger?) is only useful for thrusting into enemy combatants. Nay, not so...but far otherwise! Sometimes you gotta go out in the woods and try it.
Covid 19 Isolation

This is my interpretation of Covid 19 self-isolation. Don't see the big deal really, I've been isolating my whole life! Snowy day, short hike, hot soup and a bit of philosophy.

Every winter, at least once, I go on a snowshoe hike, make a fire, just to enjoy getting out in the woods for a day and make a video.

Went for a hike hoping to find a shortcut to a secluded spot. Hot and humid and no luck with the shortcut. Do shortcuts ever really work out? Found some chokecherries and wild strawberries and tried out my new folding saw.

Awesome! Great video! 👍🏼
Nice axe! Where did you get the replacement handle?
@@Nick_Gurr80 made it from an old sledgehammer handle.
@@claidemore thanks!
I have a Pakistan made copy and I have wondered weather it could be used as a survival knife. I was in the Army National Guard during the last of the Cold War and we would use our M7 Bayonets for nothing but bushcraft. We would constantly be cutting limbs to camouflage our APCs and the fox holes we dug every time we stopped. The M7 was made for our M16 rifles but it was a narrow double edge blade, somewhat heavier than the Fairbairn-Sykes Commando blade but the same length. It did everything. I am sure I would appreciate the weight savings of a Fairbairn if I was backpacking any distance today.
Clearest demo I've seen on RUclips. Thank you sir.
Had my No.4 MK1 for 31 years....and just got around to buying the sling! Thank you for the video! Super simple compared to the M1 Garand!
Thanks for sharing! 🇨🇦👍🏻
DEADLY Made For SPECIAL Cloak & Dagger Boys OVER Here SOD Being An Enemy Sentry At NIGHT 😣😔ps Yes ITS Prmeraly a DAGGER ! a limey g
Nice shooting. And good on ya for what I think is the first ever entry using 303 Savage
How many different stocks have been fitted to that rifle? Unbelievable reloads here. Blows my mind. Never underestimate the innovation of northern Canadians
@2:30 : the bottom straps are for a poncho and a rifle grenade. They're good also for a camera tripod.
Have yet to fire mine. This should help. Thanks for sharing.
Good - factually correct - video; except for: The 'clip' holding ammunition for loading into the magazine in correct British Army nomenclature is a 'charger clip' not a 'stripper clip'. When I attended Marine Corps basic training, the drill instructors exclusively used the term 'charger' also. That was over fifty years ago so it may have changed.
Yes, correct term would be charger, but 99% of shooters know 'stripper clip', so it just easier to use the name they know. Evolution of language I suppose.
@@claidemore In my mind, encouraging ignorance is not evolution of language. I have a problem with sliding words - and thoughts - from meaning something to sort of meaning almost anything. But I'm old and likely grumpy.
@OldManMontgomery if we really want to be correct in British terminology the item is simply called a charger, not a charger 'clip', and definately not 'stripper clip'. Oddly enough, the action of charging the rifle was sometimes called 'clipping up'. That being said, the point of the video was and is to show the correct way to load and use them, as I had seen several videos by knowledgeable and popular youtubers showing incorrect methods. Maybe someday I'll make a video on proper pronunciation and terminology on firearms and related accessories. Recticle/reticle, Sahco/Sako, clip/magazine, Sikorsky/Swarovski etc.
@@claidemore Do you think anyone but possibly you and me would read it an pay attention. The effort is indeed praiseworthy.
My fave is long branch
I was out chopping frozen wood with the Pensioner yesterday. It’s awesome!
ruclips.net/video/kP_Rc273BK8/видео.htmlsi=yzOfxyRdDxI8kt1H Here's the Ole Fella doing what he does best 😊
Thinking about getting one🗡👀
Excellent review. I’m torn between Ka Bars BK 21 and this particular brand and model. The steel looks fantastic. I am going to get a khukuri but I can’t decide which.
You won't regret a Kailash.
You’re not making this easier, bud, haha. Thanks. Have a good one.
The British nomenclature for a .303 stripper clip is "charger clip" I'm not trying to start a clip vs clip war here, I'm just saying for reference :)
You are absolutely correct. I just labeled and referred to them by the improper but universally recognized term so folks can search and find. 😁
A stripper clip is flat and holds just the rim of the cartridge, while a charger not only holds the rim of the round, but also envelopes an additional part of the cartridge, providing more of a guide than a stripper clip would.
У меня есть такой ,пехотный, вариант...только наплечные ремни ,деревянные,...плечи натирают.😢
Awesome! I am looking at a Kailash Ek Chirra or the Pensioner. I'm really leaning toward the Pensioner as I see more and more reviews!
They're both great blades- The pensioner is bit of a higher performance blade while the ek chirra has a bit of extra beatability. The pensioner is probably the more popular option amongst customers- plus it looks cooler!
the old girl likes it rough I find .
Этот рюкзак не так удобно носить, как бельгийский ранец. У него довольно тонкие лямки и не очень хорошая балансировка, при ношении он откидывается назад.
It can be worn high, or low. Tighten up the straps and its sits on the shoulder blades (weight on the shoulders though), lengthen the straps and its sits on the kidneys. Old time ruckers preferred a low slung pack. I recently acquired the F2 model with the side pouches, should do a video on it as well.
Mine is due in Thursday.
Are you happy with yours?
@@crackmonkeynet Yes. Very happy. Recently trimmed the sh&t out of a large mulberry tree. The knife is no worse for wear, and the blade is as sharp as when I started working on the tree. My knife is actually the Falco.
Great video! No conjecture or rambling, just showing how the blade handles the tasks at hand. I’ve been looking for a fighting knife and want it to be versatile for survival applications, so this kind of display is exactly what I was looking for. Shows the FS Knife *can* be used for this tells me it’ll be a good knife to add to my list.
Regarding the options you chose when ordering…is that the medium length handle and the military style scabbard?
If I recall, that is the longer handle, and it is the military scabbard...ish. They added the horizontal carry straps, which I don't really need.
nevermind watched a video the guy actually shows the process on camera
what do you mean by rim
Thank you, sir. This helps a lot.
The Kailash blade is beautiful with the only downside that it is not a full tang with the Rat tail tang.
Only westerners are overly enamored with full tang. Rat tail puts the balance more forward for chopping and it is more than sufficient
Kailash offers full tang as an option on most of their blades save for a couple historical models if you really want the full tang. There's nothing wrong with wanting a full tang but, people over-hype this issue. If you have a look through the long span of human history, you'll find that most heavy use blades were rat tail tang construction. They had the ability to make full tang but chose not to. That means something. But, to the credit of the full tang, it is more idiot proof from a user standpoint and a maker standpoint which does give confidence to the buyer/user. To that end, I sympathize with wanting full tang but if you know the maker does a rat tail properly like Kailash or Himalayan Imports, you have nothing to fear and more to gain than you might think.
Great video and info, thanks!
I'm thinking about getting a Pensioner from Kailash with a leather handle. Sweet khukuri thanks for the info and nice review. Stay warm out there.
Wow! I’ve had an F-S knife for years. I just thought it was for stabbing people! Thanks!
What size handle for large hands? 4.75" or 5.5".
5.5
@@claidemore Thanks for the quick response!
Thank you for making this video!!!
The FS knife killed more people in the movies than in real life.
Made for stabbing not cutting
The design is optimized for stabbing, but it can and does cut.
It's made for killing the enemy silently & quickly.🏴
When William fairbane trained soldiers in using this knife he instructed them to hold the knife with the thumb and for finger or the trigger finger aligned with the guard.
To the person who created the video. very nice world war 2 British military collection I have a type 99 carbine chambered in the 7.7×58 a copy of the British Enfield. Along with a usmc kabar knife and 91/30 mosin nagant I am planning on buying a original ww2 Fairbane Sykes fighting knife.
You may need to occasionally oil the handle, nice tool.
Good idea.
Nice review, looks like a useful tool!
Nice! I think a side by side comparison like this is really valuable- thanks for taking the time to put it together :) I agree with your conclusion that the thicker bevel of the otherwise more powerful EGKH is what holds it back in chopping performance. Chopping wood is really just like slicing cheddar cheese- it's a sustained push cut where a blade with less resistance sinks deeper for a certain effort. The downsides to a leaner edge in wood chopping are reduced durability and a tendency to stick while in a cut. With good heat treat and considered edge geometry both of these can be effectively managed. The cold steel benefits in the same way but struggles more. In the stock grind these struggle with initial penetration due to a clumsy bevel (particularly in hardwood) and then stick very hard due to having a cross section like a nail (particularly in softwood). Thanks again for putting such a nice test video together. Take care, Andrew and the team at Kailash
Hi. What is better for chopping wood: Standard Grind or Performance Grind?
@@danmano478 Performance will bite deeper and have less resistance. It's got a bit less insurance against overswings, nails in wood and other undesirable encounters
Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to put a tabletop review together. It's great to see how your relationship with khukuris that has developed over time. You make a great point about edges that are overly "appleseeded". While it can definitely lend a lot of durability the feeling of a chop deflecting and skimming along the side of the hard branch at mach 5 is far from ideal. I haven't head about people using a cho with a firesteel before- I've got to give it a try :) You make a great point about horizontal carry behind the back. I'm a cyclist and people often carry spanners and metal tools in the small of their back there. It's all well and good while you're riding but if you end up landing on your back it can be seriously dangerous. The military dap typically only features vertical belt loops as is historical, however we did one like this as a custom for somebody that wanted horizontal carry at the hip while horseriding. The team liked the versatility and so began making that the standard pattern, but I've had a chat and we'll be returning to the purely vertical style for a military dap. If you ever place a future order with us we'd be happy to include a vertical only military frog for you. I see you've uploaded a testing video- I'll check it out now. Take care, Andrew and the team at Kailash
Great test
100%
IT WAS DESIGNED TO CUT,ONLY TO PENETRATE
Ice picks are designed to penetrate only. Anything with an edge is designed to cut. Fairbairn himself instructed cutting techniques.
Apologies for the typo.. it was not designed as a cutting / slashing knife.Rather to inboard the target to the knife
Great input I really like the honesty!
thanks for this. getting my first Enfield next week, and its the first clip loaded rifle Ive ever owned that used rimmed ammunition. even the 22s were mag fed.
I just got my 1977 Marked fs knife. Its a nice knife, but Unfortunately I didn’t realize the cross guard part of the knife was bent. I’m figuring I’ll just disassemble the thing and straighten the piece that got bent. Any safe methods on how to take the thing apart here?
I think I would try to straighten it without taking it apart. Maybe drop the blade into a vice and use the jaws as an anvil for the crossguard. Mild steel shouldn't be hard to work.
@@claidemore thanks!
You can use gun blueing to get the blade re-blued at home if you want to. Sharpen it up, blue it. Will look great and work great.
