The only thing you really need in the northern forest is an ax. A good ax will warm and can save your life. The ax is much more important than the knife in the forest. Well, it's nice to have a squaw in the northern forest with you, which can hunt and make a fire in the snow.
I agree that the Serrated edge is not useful..however talking with others with the Wave..they tell me its great for cordage cutting. But for me, I grinded,filed away the Serrated edge, and made a straight edge which is much better. cheers..great vid, thank you and enjoy your day ;-))
Thanks for the vid i took my leatherman supertool an the serrated blade i grinded it down on the coarse side of my wet stone so now i have 2 plain blades on my leatherman
For 8$ and free shipping I got a 6inch Bayite brand fire steel with a sweet paracord lanyard. Ive gone through a bunch a diff brand fire steels and the Bayite brand for 8$ has been the best.
Will its awesome to see the interaction between you and your wife. I think it's wonderful that she takes part in your channel. Love the vids keep Em rolling!
Awesome stuff man. I've gotten a few things from deepwood as well. You ever get a chance check out Skystorm leather mate. They have a good selection your pal Chris sent me over there and I'm really happy with my sheath. And my wife got a kick our of your wife's throw ins. Mine does the same to me when I'm teaching the kids or friends.
Brother, we may have been separated at birth! Great EDC. Had a good magnesium rod and its perfect. Sprinkle some magnesium on anything including duct tape and it starts on fire EVERYTIME. Thanks.
That maybe the only thing the separates us.... I hate mag bars and duct tape if shredded into fine enough strips will ignite on its own ill do a vid on that
I really liked the video. Those are some nice items you carry. Do you prefer a place to hike in Ohio? Central, North, South, West or East? Ohio has some interesting places that even most Ohioans do not adventure too!
Haya... was just watching your vids, I noticed your striker... it actually looked quite familliar to me... so I went back and went thru my tools and low and behold I put my hands on just the same thing... its made out of a carbide cutoff tool no? I understand not carying one use items, and guess what... that carbide tool will sharpen or rather touch up any of your bladed tools in a pinch....
Always love seeing what you guys carry and what is in the various stages of packing etc... I will end up watching this a few times before it is all said and done :-)
Nice e.d.c. setup but you should also add a small booboo kit to but all in all a very fine bit of kit to carry. Keep up the good work. Btw where can I get a few tins of the lube you showed the burlys stuff that you were talking about and how much is it?
great video. I would love to have one of those setups; your pride and joy setup, looking forward to making one or looking for one to purchase. Was just inspired, thank you man.
Found your channel through Chris. Love it. I PM'd you on Facebook about your pick for a one knife. i guess I know now. I looked up up. I started a savings for that puppy. I was wondering about the Schrade 36 and 37 that you tested with Chris in the mean time. I'm a beginner so not sure I like the 7 inch but then again it may look small in my hands. I have big hands. At anyrate at the end of this video you were gonna respond to some PM's but you guy's were having to my fun (awesome by the way) to finish. What were you gonna say?
Hi William, Nice video thank you Can you leave a link or something to say where you got your neck knife please as I tried listening several times but never court the name of the site.. Take care mrbluenun
Quadrant14 I don't know him personally. But I thought that if he said that he lived so close to Dave Canterbury, that he would be at the Canterbury Pathfinder Gathering this July. I am going and wanted to meet him. John
Finally I saw a compass. Your one of the few that I've seen that has, or at least, mentioned a compass. I've saw a lot of "survival" oriented videos & they show a myriad of "survival" tools, but I rarely ever see or hear mention of a compass.
oldtimer4567 to be honest it's one of the least used tools all I really need is a general direction and I only ever use a compass when I'm navigating courses
I enjoyed your video very very much I'm new to survival prep and Wilderness survival. But I didn't understand what was that appointment her stuff that come out of little tin. Just a suggestion in the future maybe you could give a list of what you carried us you were going pretty fast for me and I was going backwards and forth trying to understand what you said to write it down for a comparison. Keep the videos coming you're doing a great job thank you for all your time and effort.🚶💀
no i make frog gigs in the woods the spear point can be very versitile as a second or back up knife if lashed to a short stick or a long pole for a spear
William Myers MantisOutdoors I have an idea for one of your videos people need to learn how to make and use a bedroll pack just an idea and by the way I really do enjoy your videos
Will, I really like your videos, and I'm not trying to be a troll or a hater, but could you please consider pausing the camera and blowing your nose? I've noticed that not only on your videos, but the ones you do w/ Chris at PM101 you are sniffling in a lot of them. It's a drag to listen to and detracts from otherwise good videos. Thanks for listening.
A Day Pack with "The Ten Essentials" by the Seattle Mountaineers can keep you safe overnight and bring you home safe the next day. Tethered to my Swedish Fire Steel is a large yellow plastic Hanson Pencil Sharpener from Home Depot to make tinder from a twig or Fatwood. Thank you for the video ! tjl
