Love your survival knife set up, I have one like that for my custom TAK 1, I also carry a good quality wire saw with it, a couple of big sewing needles, 10 yards of SS wire, and 10 yards of 50 pounds threaded dacron for fishing or sewing. Thumbs up!
Jorge Luis Garcia, great choice of knife! I’ve had too many wire saws fail, to trust them (even using them set up as a bow saw), so I prefer the SAK saws these days. Funnily, I added sewing needles shortly after I’d made this video, so good call. What is your reasoning for the wire?
Ritera Racoon Outdoor Thank you. It’s a great knife as a single tool option. It’s quite heavy, but has real chopping power and still has the functionality for finer tasks.
I shall be incorporating much of this in my #KabarBK16. One question, though. How can you have such a knife in the UK? Yes, I know about being able to provide the justification of having one such and the police does not bother. But, any tips? I am going to visit the UK for about 3 months, soon. What about Victorinox Swiss Champ? I know that my #KershawBlur is a definite get-in-jail-quick card.
We can legally carry a knife that is non-locking and under 3” without good reason (with the exception of a few places like courtrooms, schools and airports). With that in mind you’re absolutely fine to carry any of 91mm Victorinox’s or smaller, including the Swiss Champ. I carry one daily myself. When it comes to fixed blades (or locking blades, which are considered ‘fixed’ by the legal system), then you’re quite correct, you need ‘good reason’ to carry one. Being over here from abroad for a short stay, gives you justification to travel with it if you can show you are using it for ‘bushcraft’ type reasons. However, when transporting it to and from site, make sure it’s not easily accessible (on your belt for example), so buried in the bottom of your bag is best. Ultimately, just apply a bit of common sense. Don’t attract attention, the public tend to have extreme reactions to seeing knives (except Victorinox, which everyone is familiar with), so be mindful about where you take it out. You’ll be much more likely to get into trouble in a suburban/urban area than you will in a rural one. The police won’t search you for no reason (they can’t legally), so if you don’t give them one, you’ve nothing to worry about. I’ve carried a knife since 1976, and I’ve never had an issue.
Brother is the camera playing tricks or am I seeing serious burrs at 1:30 -1:46 ? It could be lighting but it looks like the blade went through WW5. Either way all that means is you’re using you tools & it’s back porch /stone time. 👍🏼
Must be the camera, I’m a knife maker and keep all my tools razor sharp. It’s definitely a user, but there was no damage on the blade when this film was made. Thanks for watching though 👍
Good stuff mate thanks for sharing. I keep changing my stuff out all the time. The only thing consistent is the mini Esee survival kit. Danglers are always good for carrying I also like to carry scout style too Stay safe ATB Del 👍🔥🐺
I like that setup mate. I have the 6 and I was thinking of a custom leather sheath setup but you have me questioning that now with the idea of the dangler. Where did you get the dangler? I like the idea of a multitool sheath option on it. I was planning on getting a pouch put on the sheath for a multitool but I like this idea better.
Thanks for the comments Patrick. The dangler is one I made myself, it’s essentially just one vertical loop (that fits my belt), and a vertical loop that goes through that and attaches the multi-tool. Both are attached with strong press studs. The belt loop then has a ‘d’ ring at the bottom of it to attach the dangler. To be honest, these days I tend to attach my multi-tool directly to my belt since I carry it all the time, the dangler only really gets worn when I’m going out with a fixed blade.
@@darkwoodbushcraftI see . Thanks for the response. I wasn’t able to find a sheath for a leatherman with such dangler at the bottom. I like the idea though. Thanks for uploading!
Thank you. I don’t feel that a knife is a knife unless it’s used. I’ll be reviewing the music situation in future videos (it’s too late to do anything with this one), it’s all a bit of a learning process.
I just stumbled on your channel. I thought you Brits had outlawed "assault knives." Do you have to keep them in a special lock box in the forest? Is there a special license for them? Frankly, I am shocked that neither of your knives attacked you. You have obviously trained them well. I like the content, but the background music is pretty annoying. Cheers.
Don’t worry, these are indeed specially trained knives that are allowed out in public as they’ve had their stabby gland removed and the metal blades have been replaced by painted chocolate ones. I agree, the background music is quite annoying and I probably won’t do it again 👍
It’s actually a fake leather called “Happy-Hide”, it’s like a really tough paper, functions like leather and is waterproof and lightweight. I also use it as a sit-mat if I’m travelling light.
LOVE how you incorporated the extra tool on the dangler, definitely gonna steal your idea, great video!
Thank you Fred, much appreciated.
I used an mtp grenade pouch for my Essee 6 as I already had a couple of them. Good drills, love the dangler.

Great vid. Music was a bit loud but content was wonderful.
Thanks Scott! Yeah, I’ll address the music in future videos 👍
We need some more vids matey!
Cheers from the states!
Love the carry option
Yep I definitely need me an esse pouch for sure wanted one for ages but never got round to it. Cheers Juz.
matthewlewis1986 , thanks for watching mate! It’s a lot of fun putting those kits together too.
@@darkwoodbushcraft yeah didnt take long iv just ordered 2 😱
L
Can you send a link on the dangler
Sorry, no link I’m afraid, I made it myself.
@@darkwoodbushcraft thanks for replying
If you are interested in please show us how
Either way
Thanks
That's a cool Knife.
Looks good!
Great Video.
Support and greetings from Germany ...Marco & Racoon

Great set up. love the esee 5
Thanks Simon, it’s a great knife, I’d highly recommend it.
Great looking setup,
Greetings from Utah! Very helpful videos. Thank you! Subbed.
Greg Gibson , Thank you 🙏
Wasn’t a dangler fan. May have to rethink that position. Thx from Texas!
They’re an acquired taste, but work well for me for this knife. Thanks for watching.

@@darkwoodbushcraft , THANKS a TONNE for the very detailed information.
@@rahuldoes you’re welcome.
Great kit! Maybe a dumb question but what are the iodine swabs for? Love your content.

Prepper Del, I’ve never really got on with scout style carry, maybe I need to persevere with it and give it another go.

*that should read “horizontal loop” for the multi-tool loop.
Absolutely fabulous video, great information. The music needs to be a bit softer.
Thank you, I’ll be addressing the music in future videos 👍
So you add the dangler onto the existing see clip? I just got a lather man and would like to be able to carry both. What dangler do you have?
Yes, the clip just sits over the brass “D’ ring at the bottom of the dangler. The dangler was one I made myself.
@@darkwoodbushcraftI see . Thanks for the response. I wasn’t able to find a sheath for a leatherman with such dangler at the bottom. I like the idea though. Thanks for uploading!
I love everything about your kit. And your knife looks employed and magnificent. Not merely a showpiece.
But maybe you can remove the music?
Thank you. I don’t feel that a knife is a knife unless it’s used. I’ll be reviewing the music situation in future videos (it’s too late to do anything with this one), it’s all a bit of a learning process.
We're would you get that esee 5 knife at
Great video very informative
Glad you liked it!
I'd love to get a set up like that ..im looking at ordering a sheath.& pouch like that.....take the music off be a lot better.
Is this the standard (4.5" tall) or large (6" tall) pouch?
Hi Brett, I believe this is the standard ESEE pouch.
Great video. Not a fan of music playing in the back ground . For me , it is detracting. Really like your kit though.
Fair enough, I’m no film-maker, so any constructive comments are appreciated.

Turn music down man can’t hear you. Is that a leather mat? What size? I never thought how useful it would be to have a mat so you don’t lose stuff.
It’s actually a fake leather called “Happy-Hide”, it’s like a really tough paper, functions like leather and is waterproof and lightweight. I also use it as a sit-mat if I’m travelling light.
@@darkwoodbushcraft sweet. I'll have to pick one up. Thanks a lot!
👍🏻👍🏻
What pants are those?
Just some cheap polycotton cargo trousers from eBay I think.
Extremely hard to watch with music playing throughout the entire video
in the future, i'd get rid of the music. too distracting, IMO. GREAT VIDEO.
