- My good friend Daniel sat down with me to explain the basics of knife use. So many people are doing videos on fancy bushcraft skills, but often the basics are overlooked.

This video was a lot fun to make! Thank you so much for having me on 💚
Thank you so much for making it with me! I learned a lot, and I'll always remember making this one due to the mid-roll adventure, lol!!!
Thank you! I have a crappy knife in my backpack! Gerber in my kitchen. Kershaw in my purse. SOG utility for outside. Handmade with no guard I am learning with and didnt have it sharpened all the way down, I still can later! I learned alot and would like to learn more!
YT scrambled my comment, again, this guy brings excellent points. I learned all this with the scouts at about ten years of age. Was going to hand over my knife, handcrafted and looks like crap, to my nephew only to learn that scouts these days don't teach bushcrafting and wilderness skills. Alot of my recent comments has mysteriously vanished, I haven't deserted you yet. 😂
When are we going to see the new forest monks?
Sadly a lot of basics aren't taught these days. I sometimes think "basics" is misunderstood as "intuitive" and that just isn't the case. I think for anyone looking to get into anything they should always begin with the basics whether they think they know them or not. 🙂 Love a good handcrafted knife, I have one my uncle made and it's a cherished addition to my collection!
Kenton,
Daniel,
"Back to" or "to The Basics" is always a great place to re-sort to.
Thank You Both.
As for the "finer things", well, You illustrate many o' them too in this Lively discussion, Gen'leMen.
Like: "stainless steele isn't", anymore than "friendly fire" is friendly at all, and "depleted uranium" isn't non-radio-active.
When You Daniel brought up the fatal triangle and other basic vulnerabilities to grave injuries...
I was reminded of basic first aid foundational knowledge, such as:
If I needed to imobilize a broken arm and didn' have a ready-made, "hospital-grade" splint..., what could be improvised?
A wooden board, a folded piece of cardboard or a rolled up newspaper.... (wait. Are there any newspapers out there anymore?)
In the same way, It's good to 'pre-imagine' what remedy is available for arterial bleeding.
A temporarily dis-assembled piece o' that rope tree-ladder, a strong swath of a t-shirt, or the chin-strap on an Aussie's hat could keep a terrible mis-adventure from bein' One's last.
On a less dangerous part of the spectrum of "cuts"..., Spider-web -- there's usually some handy in the woods and at Home -- helps to stop 'minor' cuts from bleeding too badly by helping Our blood to coagulate better.
Thanks again!
Hope to see You in the Wood sometime.

I do agree that basic first aid is an important part of the journey! I'm also a firm believer in prevention over a cure, injuries do happen but Knowing how to prevent self-inflicted injuries is paramount. I've never heard that about spider webs and will certainly do some research into it, thank you for that!
"A milligram of Prevention is worth a kilogram of Remedy."
That is to say that, in my opinion, prevention is aroun' 200 times more effectual than a cure..., presuming that there IS a cure.
Sometimes -- for some o' the 'stupid' things I've done -- there wasn't any un-doing of what I'd done.
In "the West" We're told that an ounce o' prevention is equivalent to a pound of cure.
I suppose that western adage doesn't do prevention the Justice that it actually warrants.
Like You, I prefer forethought, pre-caution.
'Cause it hurts a whole lot less.
🙂

This was a great subject matter I thoroughly enjoyed the video so much information from this young man hope you guys are all doing well and you're back from Peru and had a phenomenal trip and I'm getting ready to go on my road trip. Much love!❤🙏
Gabriela, where are you going next? We're excited to hear!!! =)
@@ReWildUniversity Hi! I am traveling up to SF then to Nevada, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Colorado and Arizona. Should be 2 months. 😁🙏
Oh wow, such amazing places! I can never get enough of the Badlands -- endless mazes to explore, finding fossils, the colors of the stones . . . wow!!!
@@ReWildUniversity excited to see them!😁
There is only one answer to a first knife. MORA knife with fingerguard! It's a swedish brand and one of the best options regarding price/quality ratio. Not that a giant knife isn't badass but often it's not the most practical option.
It's a good answer and there are many knife options out there but I could talk knives for days haha! "Giant" knives do have their place in forests for sure and there are some tips about using them I didn't go into for the video. I myself prefer a large/small knife combo (leuku/puukko). Kenton's knife is a WTG Bear Claw and I'm carrying a Fox Knives Sherpa and a TOPS Tom Brown scout in case you were curious.
Thank you for the Cool info that will help me out. Im new to the bushcraft stuff. Im a cityboy LOL. What where the three knifes you guys are useing in the video. Where sre you guys located in the world. Sorry i can spell not well educated LOL.
Hi Friend! Welcome to the world of bushcraft! Lots of fun awaits you =) I (Kenton) am carrying a WTG Bear Claw and Daniel is carrying a Fox Knives Sherpa and a TOPS Tom Brown scout. This was filmed in Wisconsin, USA! =)
