Ironically, we are back on "the trail of 1776" here in the U.S.😠 I'm still sad about your forest being clear cut. Greed is so destructive. Thanks for the video. Stay strong Bjorn!💪
Well said we must stand strong and united 💪 😁✊🔥
I was just thinking that about 1776 here in the states it's interesting that now has become worldwide makes one Wonder
I have 23 Founding Fathers in my ancestral tree. One of my great grandfathers and great grandmothers came to America separately from Norway and settled in a small town rich in soil. They owned a store and built coffins, etc. Neither were farmers, though they served a community of farmers. This was the late 1800s(1870ish).
This side married into a family that Founded the country, and my mother was the legacy baby. On my father's side were those who came around 1583. They were an Admiral of the Queen's Navy, sailors, ship carpenters, and investors in Jamestown.
My upbringing was based in solid principles that lead to individual freedom and self-determination. Not a bad concept for the World.
Sadly, people blame others rather than working on personal spiritual growth. Making money is rather easy--- but very soul destroying practice.

"Leave nothing but footprints. Take only memories" - love that comment!!
Another thing about those fallen trees: leave them be for a couple of years, and they'll become a biome by themselves!
Attributed to Chief Seattle.
The forest is silent, the video and content as usual is great, and both go so well together my friend. Thank you for all you continue to do ! For humanity, the wild , and the wilderness!!
Thank you, my friend!
@@BjornOutdoors Regarding the sponsors, you could make an "equipement review" series.
WITH sponsors of course. Many Kronas ahead.
Any more videos on mens mental health, insecurity, and self esteem? Would also love to hear your advice on writing - finding motivation, clarity, idea formation and fruition
Have you also watched the Golden one? He's great with that
Leave nothing like footprints, take nothing like memories.......OH, YEAH!!! BEAUTYFUL AND " oh, so true"!!!!!!
Sounds like a good part of a book. You paint a great picture with your words, Bjorn, and I love a really good, believable, relatable story. Thanks

Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen Im gratefull for your time and wisdom, you are a good man greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱🙏🏼
Excellent video, thank you sir. I love my Mora knives, nothing beats them for the price.
After watching this video, I ordered the Swedish bush craft knife with the Tan sheath, ferro rod and sharpener on it. I love it!
The Blue Spruce has always been my favorite tree!
Godspeed
The old and tall trees gives the forest such a special atmosphere. I like it. Great video! I love these outdoor videos, it is so calming to watch.
Bjorn I loved the panoramic view you did in the Spruce Forest!! Those trees are very tall!! It was very calming. And you are very correct about not having to cut trees down...They fall and sprout new trees; that's what nature does :) I have two or three knives I bring camping with me. One is an Alabama Slammer that I believe is a Bayonet; a SOG Flash II; and my Standard Black handled Army survival knife. I lost most of the things that can go inside the handle but I have the same things in my pack anyway. While you were looking around and there was NO noise I was thinking "Oh I love that silence!" and then you said "Can you hear that? It's silence!" lol
I'm glad you found another spot. I think I would enjoy sitting around a fire in the woods, drinking coffee and talking with you. You're a good man. Your point about the natural deadfall in mature forest is spot on. The deadfall and opening it creates is an important habitat for diversity of wildlife.
My fav knife is the Helle Lapland made in Norway , it is popular amongst the sami of Northern Norway
I've had the Helle Harding since 1987. I've been moderately rough on it and skinned/gutted many deer with it.
I love Helle knifes.
Just don't let them get dull.
You are right on the fingerguard.
After a couple of years of buying different knives, I found out the best knife is the one you make yourself.
Im glad you could find another good place to be, and make your videos
Thank you for sharing. Your videos give me a bit of peace in a crazy world. I hope you find your forever forest
We need more protection of our wooded areas and nature reserves. Civilization is expanding to far and the world will show when it's had enough.
Absolutely. We are losing woodland fast and the replanting will never be able to keep up with it.
@@BjornOutdoors I hope this nonsense stops. One day I'd love to visit Norway. My grandfather loved talking about growing up in Tønsberg and how beautiful it was, before our family came to America.
I have been plagued with trigger finger, primarily on my right hand. Last December of 2022, I have the release surgery to my middle finger that worked reasonably well. I have lifted for 41 + years and have worked with my hands as a young man as a farm worker. I completely understand your challenges,
I use the Mora Carpenters knives for work and have found them great, plus their chisel knife is good and a reasonable price and handy for bush craft as well as construction use.
Having a rough day thanks for the content Bjorne.
You make starting a fire look so easy. I have learned so much from you many fire starting videos. I learned long ago in scouts but you are much more adept.
Thank you! It comes with practice, I guess. After having mad a few hundred fires, it becomes a habit.
Your outdoor skills are as interesting as your thoughts - where we share a lot in common. Thank you. Thomas.
The natural cycle is the best for thinning the woods.
Look at that sky 😍
I love these videos. I get peace seeing you in nature and can feel it myself. Thank you for sharing.
Your English is so good, I'm very thankful for being able to understand ❤❤❤
It's interesting how similar Norway's woods look to Mississippi in the winter. I'm sure the species of plants are different and it only snows here about once a year, but the biome is very similar in appearance
Nature always finds a way.
Did you know in the UK you can buy double chocolate coffee!
Mora are great knives for experienced brushcrafters and beginners. If the knife fits your hand nicely and it's a good price then you got yourself a good deal.
Hey Bjorn, I really enjoying your Videos. This is the 1st One I saw on this Channel and I appreciate it. The most importent Part of a Knife is definitely the Handle.
I’ve been collecting Scandinavian knives for decades.
Laid back, informative, relaxing. A great video, thanks for posting this. Stay safe.
Love a good hillfort. If you get a second, have a look at Castell Dinas Bran in Wales. It's local to me and so incredibly cool.
Yes björn we can se howe you love the silens in the forest ☺️☺️thats what i love to and some times the sound of vaves by the sea 🙌🙌🇫🇮🇫🇮 great canel here thank you👌🏻
I just ground my B.O.B knife to a 90 degree so I can use it on a ferro rod. I did this 20 minutes before watching this video. Cheers from Drammen!
Loved your video Bjorn,glad you've found another place that's beautiful and peaceful it goes well with you you are a one in a million, keep doing what you do. Martha on the hill in Cornwall UK.
Thank you!
I enjoy your channel, remember fire is also part of nature, all those small saplings will grow large trees.
That bottom part on the TOPS is called a "shango notch" There are some videos on how to use it, but it has been difficult for me to learn to use as well. I just ended up putting a 90 degree edge on the spine myself.
Even in a nature reserve the trees can be eradicated if they are deemed non-indigenous.
I love my Moraniv knives. They are very trustworthy blades.
Have a wonderfull day you made my day with this video thank you bjorn
Awesome adventure
I appreciate your comment, and indeed your commitment to the need for ancient forests to remain intact, and how important they are to the greater ecology, that we are a part of. Thank you for sharing your gift of knives and woodcraft.
Watching from the Greatlands Alakshak.
Greetings , we have areas that look like that too , so far away , so similar , so Cool , Upper Michigan , Yoopers !
Just bought a Mora knife. New to finding this Channel.
I am hooked thanks for the great content
We went to Wales this weekdend for a walk - It was so wet and stormy that we had no time to stop and listen to the quiet.
We live in a big city, and there is never silence, and rarly quiet.
In two weeks we visit my sister in Scotland, I look forward to the quiet :)
I mostly use the mora bushcraft, it's an amazing knife. Cheap, solid & it gets the job done !
If timberlands have to pay taxes, they normally are harvested like a crop, if the government owns the land that reason is negated. But trying to return at least some portion of the acreage to native forest, instead of old commercially cultivated woodlands, is still a good idea and helpful to native species of insects/animals.
Being in the forest surrounded by silence is a blessing in a mad world.
Hi Bjørn, great to be in the forest. i also have a big problem with deforestation here in oppland. just got the Helle Temagani knife in the mail. and i must say it is a beauty. sit really good in the hand and looks great. i have about your hand size i think. They have it in limited 14c28n steel on their homepage now, and it is the first Helle with a razor sharp spine. have a nice evening. good to watch your videos. stay strong
If humans are not allowed to clean up some of the dead litter on the forest floor, Has been done for thousands of years, it becomes tender to burn down the forest.
If your worried about ice get some strap on ice cleats for your boots. On when needed in less than a minute and off just as fast.
I have the Mora garberg knife, it’s carbon steel though. I’d love to get a Finnish knife. In the U.S. William Collins makes great knives, but expensive. That’s sad that you lost your local forest. Look forward to what’s to come.
Those traditional Finnish/Sámi knives (puukko) are awesome. I really want a cottage made, birch handled long (17 cm+) one myself.
Very fascinating and informative! Thanks.
This looks like a nice forest lots of old stand
Securing the livestock in times of raiders was most important because unlike other possessions livestock carry themselves on their own feet and could be quickly taken by a few, so my guess is any fortification might have an inner keep but needed room for all the animals. That would discourage raiders from bothering those areas.
My favorite cold weather woods knife is a Verustaleka Terava Skrama 240mm…
Actions Speak louder than words
We are seeing the same thing here where I live in the US. Acres and Acres of forest cut down so the money men can put up sub divisions. They are ruining so much habitat that the wild things get to close to the highway and are killed. I like your knives. I have two Moras and a Helle Viking. Love the Scandi grind. I miss your old Forrest too.
I really like your programs. Keep it up! And thanks!
Hi bjorn oh iv never heard of choclate coffee looks lovely there if u dont feel comfortable with those knives think twice bjorn 😅🙋♀️🙋♀️
From Cold Canada 🇨🇦! Enjoy your show and perfective on the world current poor situation!
Hello Bjorn , glad you have found a new area to film in and it looks wonderful , Knives , I have a viking style Seax , from my Friend Tom , at Cimberer Bushcraft in Denmark , a very well made knife indeed , razor sharp and very dependable , Be Well my Friend , Strength ,Honour and Respect .
Here in the eastern side of North America some historical people found old growth patches 200hundred plus yrs oldthey want to save them
🥶 yeah my mom bought a real tree for Xmas one year and it died. I cried,been artificial since then. Also cried when fire took out some trees. Maybe I'm over it now but back then 😳
I just started watching your videos. I think it's sad more men aren't like you. Please keep making your videos. I'm starting to learn about off grid living and your videos are part of my preparation. Thank you for all you do ❤.
Thank you, Christine. I will and I am happy to have you as part of this community!
You make some very good points about knives, even more broadly tools in general. As our physical abilities change it is important to reassess the tools we use. Maybe there are tools that will allow us to continue to work in a different way. For example, I am sixty years-old and bending to pickup split firewood is becoming more strenuous, so I purchased a tool that helps me not have to bend over (logox). Adaptation to our situation(s) is the key. The "rules" for survival are very broad, the keys are to prepare enough and readily adapt to your circumstance.
Great video! Help full information. Thank you! Much love!
I have that same Knor knife. Well made and sharp. You get a lot of knife for the price you pay.
Nice to see you..it's been a few days..careful out there.. peace ☮️✌️
Always safety in numbers..I'm a lone wolf, but I'm very careful out in nature..she deserves a lot of respect
Hail, my Heathen brother! Hopefully, you won't have a problem with a contained fire in the nature preserve. Damn shame about the woodlands that fell to the loggers.
I used to be a full tang or nothing kind of person, but I have seen that a sturdy "rat tail" or "bar" tang, running the length of the grip and perhaps having a tapered, functional pommel, is also quite acceptable (if done right). Full tang is better for batoning, but sturdy rat tail or bar tang hold up well. "Scandi" grind is a great all purpose edge, especially for camp knives. The somewhat coarse sharpening stones are good in the woods, where likelihood of putting a "ding" in the edge is higher.
I very much enjoy your fireside talks; good information and wisdom are always appreciated! Skål!
wow great view Bejorn!!!!!! you look happy today
It was good to get back to some old forest.
Great video again Bjorn, thanks for sharing your time & thoughts with us.
I bought a Mora last week (it's not the same model as yours). It looks & feels very good. It's the first knife I've bought that is actually pretty sharp, it shaved hairs off my arm out of the box! I can't wait to go into the forest & try it out.
Stay safe & I hope you find a new comfortable place in the forest soon.
Thank you for taking us along on your hike through the majestic pine forest. Are there any knives you can suggest for the women of “the tribe”?
Bjorn, clear cutting the trees is just getting rid of cover for the peppers, norm ies, and other people. The "Nature preserves" will be all that's left and those will closely monitored. And so by, easily containable. It's all by design, my friend,, all by design.
great new spot, cant wait till we get to see it when it's all green.
Nice Bjorn! All the best mate!
Thanks!
No more mighty oaks here either. Lots of them as I grew up. Now all gone.
Love ur tree scenes! its inspired me to come back this year hopefully.
I have never been able to get a spark off the TOPS knife. Good choices.
Glad you found a wooded spot. I've started a Patreon channel, Big Creek Scenic Area, about the U.S. Forest Service Scenic Area I am the trail steward. Very basic.
I appreciate your videos
great knife chat. i agree, the handle can make or break a knife. i prefer a thicker grip. so many knives are way too thin in the grip. I'm sure they do this to accommodate most. but that's why we have to shop around i guess.
We would do well to take some notes on how our ancestors defended themselves. Taking such defensive positions may be necessary in the future.
I had fun , Again
I hope this beautiful place works out for you...I said in your video when they invaded your other wonderland that you would find another place to fill your heart...I hope this place does that
I really came under fire when I reviewed this knife and said how awful the ferrorod pommel scraper is.
Good video, Björn! You might be interested in the Scrama bushcraft "knife" from Varusteleka, their big version has a almost 2-handed handle.
I also have a Tops knives Fieldcraft and I have the same problem with the ferro rod.
If you can get your hands on an LT Wright knife, they have full, comfortable handles that would suit your condition and large hands.
Another great video in nature Bjorn.
Many times I said Mora makes good knives, or puukko's, and some laugh at me saying no. It should be something like very expensive Tommi-puukko from Kainuu or Roselli and carbon steel, but not even Marttiini, because they are not good at all. Some say blade should be the width of your palm. I think good is that what feels goog in your hand.
I agree!
I'll say it again. The previous area is not destroyed. It will grow back. That is not my opinion. That's fact. It just might take longer than you would like, which is relatable.
I'm pro conservation and pro logging. They don't have to be mutually exclusive. They definitely aren't for many many people, especially where we I come from where we love loggers and forest rangers and despise poachers more than anything. Moderation and regulating is important and setting aside wilderness areas is definitely a good thing. I value an untamed wilderness too. But when I see a logging site, I don't see devastation. I see logging. There is a big difference. I see eye to eye with you on many things, but when it comes to logging I see you as an impractical NIMBY (not in my back yard). But I'm sure you have maybe heard that before, so I would like to hear you speak to that. Is it ever ok to log? Is there a particular method of logging that you prefer? Or are you really just against using wood? Do you think we should stop having kids and lower our population until the Earth is a wild place again? Or is it purely an emotional thing and you get that it is required to some level, but you never enjoy seeing it, regardless of how practical and necessary it might be, so you believe it should be minimized as much as possible and that is not what you are seeing? I sincerely believe in conservation and enjoy the woods in many of the same ways as you and I think it is important to have these kind of conversations that put real quantitative numbers to attainable goals and visions so we can arrive at least to some understanding of each other for moving into the future.
I think both you and I have one thing in common which is that we dream of how awesome it would be to live in a wilder time when the human population of the world didn't have the volume or the tools to so easily level and destroy and each man had to use everything, his wits, strength, spirit, and perseverance in order to thrive and explore in the wilderness. Because of that, when one did thrive and explore it was much more gratifying and created a strong bond with the spirit of living and nature and the surroundings. But those days are over and we now need to constantly consider how much we can do before it is too much and temper our abilities while we think about how we can preserve while still partaking in creating that bond. So practical conversations, not just philosophical and emotional ones, need to be made and the art of having those conversations must evolve beyond what we have today.
I'm planning to set up a forge and in the future I'll be making knives and some other things I also want to make a trident and a Thor's hammer
Loved yer Video as alway
