Great tips! Never heard of the lanyard on the forearm to take the weight. Thanks for that one!

[@SchoolOfSelfReliance]

Glad you found it useful! Safety first to all our viewers out there!

I use the pinky lanyard when chopping and it has always worked well for me. The long style lanyard wrapped around the thumb feels more secure but I don't like a long piece of paracord dangling from my knife - it tends to get snagged on branches when moving through thick brush. I see you're using the Esee 6 with the custom g10 brown and black handles from the Knife Connection. I have the same knife and handles with the kryptek mandrake kydex sheath and LT Wright fire steel. It has become one my all time favorite survival knives.

I also like 8" blades for survival. I Do the over the thumb style lanyard which is large enough for me to choke up on as you described. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@pernellwhitaker3422]

I don't understand it at 03:57. Please could you explain slowly how you tied it to the handle? Thanks

This was great. As soon as I put my axe's one on my hand I feld unsafe with it, cause it would swing back straight into my chest in case of slippage! Thanks for the tips.

Happy new year to you too!

[@TheAscendedbeings]

Just wondering if you've ever used the technique where the lanyard is looped over the spine of the blade just forward of the grip more or less forming a D-guard for the fingers. Love the Survival B.S. videos, BTW.

[@brobi51]

Awesome tips! Thanks Brother

[@SchoolOfSelfReliance]

thanks!

[@johnwalters7415]

Mike you do a great job. I have learned so much from you

[@joerico9461]

Thanks for your time bro

[@Sugardaddy501]

I never find a big knife thats not thick backed; what I want is a big knife thats ultra thin that strips bark well. (I dabble in carpentry/woodworking).
