My favorite is a semi Bowie that can be used as a spear and has added equipment that comes in either the sheath and fishing equipment. I've made custom sheethes for them to make different styles bush craft blades for different situations. The reason being they come in handy a lot! And I can throw any one because they're perfect balance!. I've got squirrels and rabbits a few times with a fast quick draw. And it's nice when you have something to cook while you hit traps.
Great work helping people bwith basic skills. I was thinking of doing the same and adding small amounts of military exercises or different tricks to secure a camp or perimeter.
Just stop it! Where did you come from? I've learned more in 20 min. Than my dad taught me my whole life.
I liked the beak cut I never thought about that to make a holder for my kettle. Well on!
Link for your knife
BIG safety tip: use a sharp knife! It might seem counterintuitive, but when using a sharper knife you have to exert a smaller amount of force, increasing the amount of control you have over the knife. Also, a sharper knife means a cleaner cut means faster healing and smaller scarring.
Literally everyone knows this...
@@cottleful not everyone. And it doesn't hurt to repeat information.
@@cottleful I didn't
Sharp tools are safe tools! That’s assuming they’re meant to be sharp of course.
@@cottleful not that good a detective
One of the reasons why I think you are one of the most Totally awesome bushcraft channels on RUclips is because you do instructional videos unlike a lot of them that just show off and you don't really learn anything.
Its also relaxing and no annoying or distracting background music just nature and the satisfying sound of his tools hitting wood.
@@unknowncaller3473 Even the voice work is nice to listen to.
i know now how to start a fire!
I agree
However the videos where they don’t y’all are a nice way to relax
It's cool actually learning something new. I'd never seen driving your knife into a stick to make a draw knife. I think it's been a couple of years since I've learned a new trick. Old dogs really can learn new tricks every once in awhile. 😊
That trip was a new one for me too. I'm not a seasoned bushcrafter but I am a seasoned camper and trained in woodland management. Even though I'm now an older person I'm always up for learning new skills
Ditto. After I saw that I was all oh dang I did learn something new.
some people prefer to just meet new tricks at the truck stop... lol
@@ronaldstarkey4336 Those tricks are of the dangerous kind - always wear appropriate protection! 😱😅
I agree with that buddy
OUTSTANDING.
This video is absolutely ESSENTIAL for all preppers, survivalists, bushcrafters and even the average camper. Vital information, indeed. WOW.
I have learned a lot!
10 skills in 10 minutes. I love them all. I would love to see 10 knots in 10 minutes, 10 fire lays in 10 minutes, 10 shelters in 10 minutes. This style of video is helpful for teaching. More please.
10 knots in 10 minutes….good one!
One good tip for lighting fires FAST in seconds …I actually learned from the Royal British Marines. Keep a tampon in your fire kit, (I know weird right) tease it out till it’s a ball of cotton, place under your tinder shavings & use a bic lighter. It’s super fast & cheap & trust me your fire will be up & running in seconds. YES flint works well & every time as well. Also another ignition to help speed up the process - use your lip balm it’s Vaseline based so it’ll help give ignition faster as well. Just roll the tampon with a coating, tease it out . BOOM . Fire & tinder lit. Hope this helps.
Yup! There's a reason for the Mora Knife being so popular among people all over the world. It's useful as a multi-tool. If you don't have the right tool, the Mora Knife can really save the day. Not the best tool, but the best allaround tool!
I think Alec Baldwin is the best all around tool
@@MarineBiker 😂 brilliant but unless you’re a member of Cinematographers Local 143 why single out Baldwin when there are so many and surely some even more extremely deserving candidates?
Best fire steel striker I’ve ever used is the back of a leatherman saw.
Been a country boy all my time. I always like learning a new trick. The idea to strip bark from trees, brilliant mate.
Thank you for providing a full video of actual skills. Most other vids just talk about the skills in general and rarely demonstrate them. They are more focused on knife size and shape and steel types. They like to analyze brands and models and forgot about the actual techniques needed for bushcraft.
It's nice to finally find a channel that gives facts and truths on this hobby and not just blurt out any old rubbish like the American channels do.
How have I only just come across you Mike?! I have looked at so many of these types of vid's over the years. I've only watched your axe and knife vids but will most definitely being watching all of them. You present perfectly and I have learnt more than a few things from each. You are an absolute champion. Cheers mate!
Question....Which knife is that? It's beautiful....looks like leopard wood? Very beautiful
5:45 This is very useful to learn. Going to practice this more next time I get out there
Amazing channel! Finally some real bushcraft tips! I can't seem to find too many of those nowadays, people call their video bushcrafting but all they do is for example to just remove birch of the branch or do it exactly one of your tricks each time. I have learnt today a lot from you!
hey great job! i have only got one arm and i have to improvise using the rest of my body to accommodate these techniques. you have explained the processes well for me to practice these at home... thank you
Great video. You are 100% right when you said practice these skills in the safety of your back yard before actually using them in the field. See you in the next one.
Roots as ropes! So logic, they are so solids and I never realised some modifications on them make them even more usable. Thanks for all those precious tips you got a subscriber!
I may practice this when I go camping next.
I like how you actually explain how & why you're doing what you're doing! And even though I know some of these skills already you somehow make them enjoyable.. Great job!
one tip i learned is to bury the tip of your knife along with your charcloth into a stump, then use the flint to drive sparks down towards the charcloth. this way you reduce greatly the chance of an accident by no longer needing to hold the blade.
I agree. That's how I teach it also if you're using a fixed blade as steel with a flint. If you happen to have a carbon steel pocket knife (Opinel for instance) or a carbon steel folding saw you can keep them closed and use the spine as steel for the flint.
@@stevanoutdoor Yup and with the opinel I own it works REALLY well with a ferro rod.
@@danmorgan3685 Yep they do indeed. Even without opening the blade and both the stainless and carbon. They have a nice spine for sure. To use as steel with flint you need the carbon one of course. Great little knives.
@@stevanoutdoor Indeed they are.
Found this channel today and even though i am in beijing this makes me incredibly excited for when i plan to go back to ireland and start learning more of these amazing skills.
I just stumbled onto this channel … LOVE IT ! To reiterate the other comments. This is GREAT unlike other channels that just yammer about themselves. Pointless . Here I actually learn a great deal.
Your content is genuinely fantastic. My favorite channel on RUclips.
Love how 10 minute videos are always a little bit longer than advertised. I don’t have time for 1 additional second thank you very much.
The cool thing about this video was not only did you demonstrate different ways to use the knife but you are also showing us how to make things. I have never seen anyone scraping binds our routes to make cordage.
Thanks Mike for showing us these tricks. 👍😁
Great tips on the various uses of a bush knife! Excellent explanations too. Thank you for this video, it will be great when I teach my children these skills and will help them with simple projects like the stool and pot hanger etc. 😊👍🏻
Love this. So heart warming to hear.
WILL WE BE SEEING A BUSHCRAFT COURSES/SCHOOL WITH T.A. OUTDOORS IN THE NEAR FUTURE? THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!
Well said, well done. Thanks Mike. Blessings from North Carolina, USA
This must be Dwight's favourite YT channel
Nice to see one of Adrian Etheridges knives in action.
Looks like its seen a lot of use.
That was excellent. Loved the stool, honestly some really great tips there highlighting the importance of a knife.👍
I'm glad I came across this channel... School won't teaching you this......... thank you so much brother...
Thanks! Number One take home point for me was the drawn feather sticks idea. Worth the entire video alone!
Very nice. Thank you. Like the opposite tree shavings. Makes sense.
I've read plenty about some of these methods, but I've never seen some of these done in a video before, and it was very cool to watch! Also, the majority of these skills are intuitive variations of skills I've already learned (i.e. the reverse feather stick method) Thank you for these, I subbed :)
Always helpful... thanks to you I've been camping successfully alone 🙂✝️
Bless you 🙏
Brilliant! Thank you!
Great stuff! I also watched the 5 setups for a tarp shelter you created and it was SO easy to follow along. Thanks so much for these videos.
THANKS for posting a well-paced video packed with useful knife projects.
I can't wait to get back out in the woods been way too long now i do the same when I'm in the woods with my son thanks mick love the video as always stay safe and well
Danke für's Video und die Arbeit dafür.
Grüße an alle! 😄
YOU can NEVER go wrong with having a good knife.
Love this channel!
You Sir , are the hardest working RUclips bushcraft artist and hands down the best!!!!
Love all your videos and tips! Keep doing what you're doing!
I watch so many of these, I was not expecting to learn something. I do not always like surprises but thanks this was a good one.
"the most important tool in the backpack." Hey now that you mention it, when are those back packs coming back to the store?
I have very stock of a few, which I will put on the website very soon. The rest of the stock will be made for the various bushcraft shows in the UK this year as I have will have a stall at them. If you subscribe to the newsletter on my website, this is the first place I will notify people when they go live. Cheers - Mike
shackleford has come up for air! SWARM SWARM
Damn man, your everywhere here, gab, salty livestreams...
Thank you for this video.
Well done video. I'm not a bushcrafter myself, but I like and enjoy using knives (especially those nice wooden-scaled ones you folks often have) and admire resourcefulness.
Hmmm now that’s got me wondering what you “resourcefully” might use such a knife for…….
Hello everyone, have a nice day
Y2
Only if you have an amazing day
I originally read the title as "10 Bushcraft Knife Kills in 10 minutes." 😂
Spoiler: He was putting 10 bushcraft knives through abusive testing and none of them survived.
Skill #1 : STABBING
That's on his twitch stream 😂
That would also be one worth watching though.
Volim gledati Vaše "filmove" / video snimke, jer su na neki način posebni i zanimljivi... Dosta toga znate i imate jako dobar sadržaj na kanalu...
Living the life! good on you, keep living! One good breath at a time! Be safe.
The fire danger is so high in my local mountains (actually ALL of California). no fires are allowed, so no camping for me this summer. :( But I do love your instructional videos. I will store this knowledge with the rest of my gear until.... whenever it rains. Ha.
Hello, how are you?
Isn’t breathing wrong illegal in that babylonian state?
For using the knife as a striker for the flint, could you make it safer/more comfortable by battening the blade into a small block (similar to how you did so for the draw-knife but across the length of the blade) to make a safer grip? Maybe the force would drive it out, and be more unstable than holding the knife directly, I do not know.
Very good, thanks a lot! 🙂 I use the Morakniv Garberg and I am very pleased with it. Today, I´ve learned a few skills which will help me get a lot more use out of the knife! 🙂
This is an excellent video for anyone who likes to spend time camping, no matter the level of experience.
Thank you Mike for the great tips and tricks have a good one 🍻✌
nicely executed
This is my favourite 10 mins of RUclips Bushcrafting.. 👍
Enjoyed watching. Thank you
I have to say I'm glad your channel came across my feed. I have a folder in my youtube page that I call "survival" and I have many of your videos saved there so I can go back to it again and again. Thanks so much for taking the time to show us these valuable skills.
The part I paid attention to in this one was what to look for when I'm ready to get a bushcraft knife.
Great video, great explanation, great content :))
The sappling cut works really really easy if you do it towards the bottom. A
so, the heavier the bend, the less pressure it will take when cutting the outside of the bend.
When clearing brush, I like to step on it and bend it over, then hit it with the machete. It will increase the side of wood that you can go through in one hit
Excellent tips! Thanks for sharing!
Super helpful, thank you!
Great video! Thanks! Greets from Russia :3
Might have overlooked it, but would like a link to purchase the knife. Great videos - always a pleasure to watch you, your dad and the dogs!
Me too. I would like to know the knife maker. Thanks, great video!
Probably long overdue but the AE sign on the blade is a signature of Adrian Etheridge, so I don't think that's some commonly found knife.
Truly amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Вдячний автору за цікаву інформацію, знадобиться😊👍
Watching you use the knife and thinking I must sharpen my knives? Idea pops into my head, how about showing us how to find a stone to help sharpen knives, when out I would not know what type of natural stone to look for if I need to do this.
I agree. I have a few chips in my knife and would like to know how to remove them without the use of power tools.
I'm sure you could do it with a natural found stone, but you're better off buying a sharpening stone. Otherwise I'd say you're more damaging your knife then sharpening it (the sharpening stone is flat and you know the coarseness)
Buy yourself a strip of leather and some compound it will sharpen your knife without taking away material of it
You look for river stones polished smooth. Much better is a portable stone. I have a Worksharp brand multi surface stone: two thin lapping plates, ceramic rod and strop. 6 inches long and weighs nothing. Gets them scary sharp. 36 bucks.
I don't think buying sharpening stones or leather and compound was the question here....
I great tip I saw- waterproof fabric by soaking it in 1 part silicone sealant and 4 parts turpentine. Then hang it up to dry. Make tarpaulins out of old bed sheets etc.
Great Video! I love your how-to videos, because they make the tasks so clear.
Excellent video. Thank you.
When 'Sharp' knives were common, Experienced users used to say - "There's few thing more dangerous than a blunt knife!"
Knives are still sharp, and people still say this
@@snwbrdbum14 most knives are not sharp in my opinion. A sharp knife can shave your hair.
@@CanadienWoodsman funny, the last 4 I bought came shaving sharp out of the box, and I keep them that way. Y'all old timers need to get out of back-in-the-day land, knives are objectively better these days with modern steel. 420HC used to be considered a super-steel, but now that's what you find in bargain-bin tier knives.
what knife do you use in this video it looks amazing
I’m wondering about that aswell
@@kova1577 not tryna be rood but this was 8 months ago lmao
So cool, thank you!
Excellent video! All of these methods are extremely helpful.
Another good, well-thought-out, instructional video, Mike. I'm curious as to what the knife is you are using in this video, please? The knife looks very well-made and a good blade thickness, is it a 4mm thickness? I like to look of the handle shape. Cheers! Colin.
Thank you. Yes 4mm thick. It’s by AE Knives here in the U.K.
@@TAOutdoors Thank you Mike, appreciated.
Hi my friend.
I have a question !?
What is the name of this knife ?
Thanks
Great vídeo. Thanks from Brazil.
Thank you , Mike .
Any chance on doing a product review of our Firestarter?
Can anyone tell me the brand and model of the knife in the video 'cause daimmmn it looks cool
Excellent tips thank you!
It's incredible how many tips here make my head nod and my brain going "damn, of course, so simple and yet I haven't thought about that before!". Really amazing little bag of great tips here!
Anyone here hoping to see the lignum steeler and Alec steele made auger?
A couple years ago I was building a campfire at an event, and for sake of space I didn't pack a hatchet, instead relying on my "utility" knife (Cold Steel Leatherneck SF, their version of a Ka-bar). For simplicity I was splitting pre-cut chunks of firewood into more manageable sizes using the same batoning technique shown here, something I was used to doing as a Boy Scout...but soon I drew a small crowd watching me because, despite the "outdoorsy" theme of the event, a majority of the attendees were "city folk" who had apparently never seen actual outdoor skills in use. To them it was like they thought I was using some sort of voodoo or something...
Wonderful, thank you!
Excellent work on this. Thanks for sharing!
You forgot to say that you can only do that with a carbon steel knife and not a stainless steel knife
curious if anyone knows the knife he is using. I'd like to research, and decide if I need to add to my collection. I have a USMC knife with 1095 steel. And I beat the heck out of it. This is shorter, but it really went through the hard work.
could you describe why that is? I'd like to learn
Stainless is more brittle. High carbon metal blade is stronger. They hold an edge much better but take work to put a good edge on them
Where can I do these solo overnight things without getting in trouble
In an older video he uploaded, he recommended doing what he does which is talk to farmland owners. People who own a bunch of land with lots of forest on it. Tell them what you want to do and the purpose of your stay. He said that what he will often do is trade manual labor and help these people with their farm work in exchange for letting him use their land.
Alternatively, you could plan a very long camping trip and build some different shelters with a group of people and then take it all down when the trip is over.
I think either way the experience is 100% worth it and it is insane fun to be out in the woods building things like that. I hope I helped!
If you're in the states, search for "Dispersed" campgrounds.
@@BossMan-yu1og THANK YOU!!!!!! I appreciate you and remember that God loves you!!!
This guy is so informative yet simple it’s amazing
Fantastic!! Thank you!
Batoning is the most discrediting thing a true bushcrafter can do. Just buy a camp axe and save your knife.
Excellent vid. Thanks mate.
Really enjoyed this, thank you for the video. It’s taught me a lot, and some of the basic things like wood for fires etc.
Good uses for the knife. Thanks for showing us. Take care.
