Every Australian can sleep easy knowing men like Pete stand ready with their Rob Erikson choppers should the emu terror ever return. Thank you for your service Pete.
Personality is the most important part of youtube channels to me. You and nick are the people that I enjoy the most. I like Jared very much as he is a friend of mine and I'm proud of him blowing up! Past that it's you and nick as my fav Personality based channels.
Pete has definitely become a staple of my list when it comes to RUclipsrs I will always smile while watching. Talking about how difficult Ada was and all the hassle while having the biggest smile is just awesome. He's genuine, funny, and feels relatable. I'm glad to see him and his family doing well.
Bought a K390 stretch mainly for the steel, ended up liking it so much I sold all but one of my PM2s, and I only kept that PM2 because it's the first knife I bought with my first ever paycheck, it's so used and abused I'm the only person it actually has value to.
We had a loquat trees at my childhood home...loved those things when in season, would eat dozens. Cfh3890 is correct...they do not last long, once picked they may last a day before getting icky. They are delicious....I miss those trees. Be warned, birds love them as well and if remember right, their season (at least the variety we had was pretty short)
You're a good person, Pete! I enjoyed this video. I stumbled onto your channel several years ago when I was gathering info before buying a sharpening system. I bought the KME primarily because you were using it, as were a couple of other RUclipsrs. I have no regrets with my purchase. You also introduced me to hats, especially Akubra hats. I went nuts and bought 9 in less than a year. Again, no regrets. You have been a great source of information, but I really stuck around for the views of country life in Australia, the creativity, and the dry humor! THANK YOU, PETE!!!
The knife testing is top shelf, but the homestead sharing and surprise nonsense makes this channel special. As someone with a lot of chickens, seeing other people's setups is interesting.
Following this video I went back and watched some of your older videos. I found a couple which are hysterical, there is one where your Missus helps you review, and of course "The Bushcraft King" My missus roared with laughter and mocked the hell out of our hobby. Thus I have subscribed. Good on yer.
Definately my favorite knife channel. Really enjoy the lifestyle visits, and sharing your methods for a more satisfying life. Love the whacky humor. Keep the bin test in for the deserving !
Arborist here. It looks like you planted your tree a bit to deep. And the fiber you places around it shouldnt be touching the trunk at all. Constant moisture on the bottom will grow fungus and will hurt or kill the tree. Cheers bud
@@King-Kazma and yet, its still recommended by arboriculture Australia, youtube wont let me post the link to their recommendation here, but its an easy google search if you’re interested.
Many thanks for answering a whole raft of questions, Pete! I'm a long-time follower. I really enjoy your oddball humor. It's also very interesting to see the lifestyle you guys are living. The knife content is a bonus! I appreciate you and wish you all the best!
Loquats are amazing, here in South Carolina they are prevelant and yes the Stretch2/or Endela is always in my left pocket regardless of what’s in my right ,hard to beat. But a 4max Elite in waist as well daily😅 I do garden design and install so tools of trade I guess. Thanks for all your work, I stop the instant I see a new video, only channel I do.
I got an inexpensive Chinese made Eafengrow fixed blade made od RC53 steel. The knife is really well finished and cost me $40, i think its the 141 if i remember. I wonder how that steel would do in your tests. Ive used it some and I would classify it's performance as "normal".
I originally came here from a Gideonstactical video on the cold steel Voyager mentioning your steel edge retention tests but the minute I heard the jrpg music I had to subscribe
Can you make a vid talking about knife budget. E.g. how much you generally spend a month on knife, how much your collection is worth, cheapest and most expensive knife etc.
Love these free form videos, seeing where you're at with your gear and homestead, interesting personal stories, and good laughs. Also, totally agree on the Husky, beautiful stupendous animals but they are not like any other dog AT ALL, I'm fairly certain they were created in extraterrestrial genetic labs and unleashed onto the world, lol.
Pete- I've been watching you for years, but only subscribed today. I love your videos and your humor. Love you throwing the garbage can at crap gear, and love Uncle Randy. Thank you for the entertainment and wisdom.
Small favour or bit of advice... I too have chipboard walls in my garage and we've been in this house about 25 years. What I should have done when we moved in was paint the garage walls. Too late now, walls are filled with racks of tools, tables etc. But you are still fairly new to the property. Paint would protect the chipboard and lighten up the surroundings. I regret not painting mine when it was empty.
My neighbours have a sled dog which I walk on a regular basis and she is a sweetheart but I am happy that she lives next door. Having said that, if you place a couple of dog biscuits under those cherry trees they will blossom beyond your expectations. You take knife reviews beyond specifications and help people decide if it belongs in their pocket. This skill exceeds “knife channel” boundaries and should be acknowledged as a true service to the knife community.🇨🇦❤🔪
Great video, enjoyed that. What are your thoughts on the debate about toughness being more important for edge retention than wear resistance? Kinda blew my mind looking into it recently. Like for example D2 with big carbide structure breaking off from low toughness which results in a blunter edge, more quickly than tougher steels like 14c et. al. Would be interested to hear your perspective on that whole messy topic.
Bought a Free T4 couple of months ago and very quickly it became my favorite edc multitool ever. When I need pliers I use my Wave+ but 95% of the time the Free T4 is enough.
Being in Australia, you have some pretty bomb climate. Some Aussies order cacti and plant them around their home as landscaping, and its so freakin cool. My house, they wouldn't make it past summer as my climate zone gets all 4 seasons, and we just started day one of fall today. There's a place in Australia, a cactus park (cactus world or something), where a father and son have grown cacti in ground for years now and they're HUGE!!! Enjoy that growth potential, Pete!!
Lots of people in the States don't have municipal water. Nowadays, since nobody does old fashioned platting any more, it's all condominium developments (meaning the whole development owns all the property collectively, while each individual owns their house and a couple feet around it) and they do group well water. But the water still doesn't go through anything fancy like municipal water; it's still just well water, pumped up by a shared pump, for lack of a better term.
Loquat is a great little fruit, doesn't really taste like anything else. And it has the benefit of producing fruit in the "cold" of our Florida winters. Also a Stretch 2 guy here.
Its good there's an Australia knife review channel, its the good middle ground 'just right' between Americans and Euro's, which I don't watch much of but do watch a lot of knife making channels. Would like to patreon, but I'm poor
Huskies are a handful...escape artists but they are fun with their weird as shit personalities. Mine I am pretty sure was special needs and would climb trees and on occasion get stuck....never had a dog like that. Pretty sure people don't believe me when I would say my husky would climb trees, but she did. She also could not have a toy, bed or one of my tools around her without destroying it soon as my back was turned....that also went for every sprinkler...anything I built or made out of wood...and unlucky animals that came in our yard. But she was one of the happiest dogs I have ever owned. They take a special type of owner and need space or to be exercised (alot)...and they will escape if at all possible (just for the sake of doing it), by digging under, going over or chewing through.
Love the video. Talking to us directly. No psych ward here LOL I'm not talking to myself in a mirror. I am truly interested in your opinion of the Lander 2 that Ben is making this fall. Steel choice, looks, design etc. I'm trying to find a "forever knife" that will stop me in my tracks of shopping for and looking for a new knife. My only preference is that it will be a crossbar, axis, insert funkyname here, lock mechanism. A bit challenging ordering direct from Canada where our Customs and Border people are not friends of many knife types. You can buy a knife with an axis lock in Canada but if you try to import it, it may be confiscated. I would prefer it in magnacut but Hogue Deka's aren't my thing as I want full liners. I do own 2 Benchmade knives (mini griptilian, 945 mini osborne) which I love. A Doug Ritter Mini-RSK in magnacut would work but I don't know when these will be manufactured again by Hogue.
You should transition into a garden hose channel, i think it will be the next big thing and you will be in on the ground floor. Also - Basil should have his own channel where he can talk about his plans for humanity.
No water with bores.... What rough area are you from mate, country SA? Every time i see your outdoor shots it has me wondering. Oh and your RUclips about page links to your broken non-facebook account.
Harsh truth: The best EDC knife is one you don’t really gel with. No problem with thrashing it and you won’t shed too many tears if it goes missing. I really want to EDC my favourites, but they aren’t the one I reach for when I want to cut open a bag of cement.
You're a listen to last podcast on the left? that's cool always interesting that it seems lots of people that one of my interests share other ones that are seeming unrelated. I love huskies but i have hear what you were saying from others. I wonder if Pomskys share the same temperament.
I would love one of these videos every month.😂 even my wife can get down with these. We really appreciate the advice and insight into lives that we similarly want to live.also please bring back the weird videos I’ll even join my first patrion if there posted there. There enough strait edge detail knife goobs.
Show us your fruit orchard once they’re all bearing fruit! I can get anything to grow, but getting it all to bear fruit is a completely different story! Your fig trees look great considering they get no shade at all... Everything looks healthy. Why don’t you guys drill wells like we do in the US? Serious question, I legitimately don’t know why you don’t... In the cities in the US everyone shares a water source that is treated and maintained by the city, and it tends to be terrible. That’s why I opt to live out of town in the country where I have to drill my own well. It cost to do that, but it’s so well worth the investment.
My son saw me watching this just now and asked to watch the "wet bread one" again. You've definitely got more than a few fans of that gag! lol
Every Australian can sleep easy knowing men like Pete stand ready with their Rob Erikson choppers should the emu terror ever return. Thank you for your service Pete.
Rod Erikson chopper? The only thing that'll deal wth an Emu is a Rod Hull chopper. That'll sort them out.
Fuckin emu menace at it again
More 100% Pete (and family), Dickhead Survival 3 had me laughing out loud.
100% agree
Hell Yeah! More dickhead survival please
Dickhead Survival 3 is a favourite for my wife and I.
Pete, am a Physical Therapist here in the US, and live week to week, hear ya....came for the knives stayed for the company
My favorite sketch was the ad10 video with the energy drink. I can still see your face! It was brilliant.

Loquats are very tasty fruit, they don’t travel well and bruise easily though so you don’t often see them in stores or they are very expensive
I never knew such a fruit existed. I still have doubts.
We had a loquat trees at my childhood home...loved those things when in season, would eat dozens. Cfh3890 is correct...they do not last long, once picked they may last a day before getting icky. They are delicious....I miss those trees. Be warned, birds love them as well and if remember right, their season (at least the variety we had was pretty short)
I love my K390 Stetch 2 as well. What a great user! Nothing fancy to look at, but it just works!
Me too. Thanks Pete.

You are one of my favorite channels don’t worry about the latest and greatest and just keep doing what you have been doing or whatever you enjoy.

There is some gold in the back catalog!!
i speak for everyone, we want pete's mind! no matter how bizzare
I love Amalgamation. Rip Blubbe.
My reground stretch 2 is one of my favs
Definately my favorite knife channel. Really enjoy the lifestyle visits, and sharing your methods for a more satisfying life. Love the whacky humor. Keep the bin test in for the deserving !
Stumbled onto the channel for knife knowledge, subscribed and binged episodes because of the unique charm and humour.
Arborist here. It looks like you planted your tree a bit to deep. And the fiber you places around it shouldnt be touching the trunk at all. Constant moisture on the bottom will grow fungus and will hurt or kill the tree. Cheers bud
This is Australia, bud. Excess moisture is low down on the list.
@@King-Kazma and yet, its still recommended by arboriculture Australia, youtube wont let me post the link to their recommendation here, but its an easy google search if you’re interested.

Don’t change anything about your channel! Your doing just fine.
Loquats are amazing, here in South Carolina they are prevelant and yes the Stretch2/or Endela is always in my left pocket regardless of what’s in my right ,hard to beat. But a 4max Elite in waist as well daily😅 I do garden design and install so tools of trade I guess. Thanks for all your work, I stop the instant I see a new video, only channel I do.

6:55 I don't care what anyone says I love all your videos.
I miss the silly green screen antics but I just assumed it was too much work
All the outside shots are greenscreen!
#ausisfake
Great in-depth one! definitely one of the best knife content creator here, period.
Thumbnail was total clickbait! Zero hat talk!!!
I vote for all green screen all the time. Do not listen to the haters. Hysterical and completely worth the effort. Very well done, excellent work.
This also has my vote
I really enjoy the weirder videos, I watch more because of you than for knife specific content
Thanks Pete!

Love everything you do!
I agree : most spyderco knives are as exciting as a pair of clean senior diapers
Great video. Fun new rapid fire Q&A. Love the stuff man!
Great video. Keep up the great content Pete. That ending 😆
I would love to see your rain water collection setup.

Excellent QnA format!
what a rare piece of honesty and truth here. loved to see it late at night :):):)
Isn’t water hard to come by on your desert planet? Does it cost a lot to water all that vegemite?
I was in the same spot with the t4. It definitely grew on me and might be a top 5 non pliers MT
Misjudged my T4 for a long time, now it's my go to urban EDC. K4x is great too.
Uh oh……
He’s got his pastoralists hat on.

🧑🦲”ok” … Whaaaaaat?? Do I see a One Punch Man tattoo on your arm?
Definitely one of my favorite anime’s EVER! 😂👍
i love the bin bit
Pete you are a stalwart Australian. God on ya mate.
That fkin *HAT* !!! (Screams Everyone!) lol 💖
Do you recommend the TSPROF Pioneer after some time with it? Love Brickey and your channel!
I like your videos too, Pete. Keep up the good work, and do what you want
I can't recall a video that I have watched here that i didn't like. I have liked some Vids waay more than others but, you ROCK Pete
What is the name of your Case Knife collector's video. I LOVE IT!
.
Its good there's an Australia knife review channel, its the good middle ground 'just right' between Americans and Euro's, which I don't watch much of but do watch a lot of knife making channels.
Would like to patreon, but I'm poor
I appreciate ya, all good - we are all a bit poor these day
The haters are wrong, your weirdo green screen art videos are fantastic. Uncle Bucket Gang 4 Life.
Alan is a wee radge
When brikie did his bit your dogs chirped up sending my dogs into a not knowing who to bark at frenzy.
where can i find that rob ericson big chopper
A cursed film about the underground culinary culture of wet bread eaters. I'd watch it.
Hi mate, Spyderco Salt 2 in LC200 or H2 (or H1)? For everything salty: Boating Camping Fishing! and Diving.
havent had H2 but cant go wrong with LC200n
I think Pete meant to say BEST thing you can do if the Queen of England is coming to visit.
The Advocate Cursed Film is a must watch…is what I told me wife. Now I catch long, puzzled looks from here when she thinks I don’t see. Win!

I love the lunacy that you are able to pour out of your brain into semi coherent oddball videos. Theatre of the absurd fans know their own kind
Whatever happened to the ghost on your first basement tour of (what was then) the new home?
Great vid mate 👍
I liked those art vids too!

It occurs to me that my teeth are starting to look as good as Bricky's
Wet bread with Garlic😂😂😂😂❤❤❤🎉🎉😊
Definitely love the bin chuck. 🗑️💨
I love to watch your Indy films, the others can piss off and skip them.
