i have been a professional leather craftsman off and on for over 40 years and you have done outstanding for a beginner!!! you should be proud of your work!!! your forming of the saw and knife sheaths is great. keep up the good work.
Nice video Nick. My kit is very similar to yours, the knife is a Saami puuko with stacked leather handle. Although I carry a ferrorod, my indispensable piece of fire kit is the flint & steel from the very same maker as yours. I’ve tried kits from USA, Netherlands, UK, Spain and others and, by far, Mikhail makes the best kits around. One of the rules I’ve established with my step son when we go out in the wilderness is that both of us must have our russian fire kits. Just to give you and example: last year we were in a meeting of the Bushcraft School, it was raining, and I brought a flint & steel kit from Belgium. I did not managed to ignite a fire… The main instructor laughed at me, tried…and did not manage to get a fire! Then we changed to the russian kit…and of course we managed to make a fire…and we gave the chance to a newby to try flint & steel for the very first time…and he managed to get a fire! That’s how good are Mikhail’s kits (I have 4 of those with leather pouches, 2 single strikers and a neck-knife that is also a striker) and my stepson has one of each.Stay well!
excellent piece of kit ,save's time not having to open rucksack all the time ,after a previous video when you said that you would be reviewing your bushcraft belt ,that gave me the idea of using one myself so I do use one now and find them really useful thanks for the idea nick ,as always excellent video thanks for sharing😀
Thank you very much for watching brother ! I'm glad you like the idea , the knife and saw sheaths are very very useful things , also on a day hike I don't carry a backpack , I have everything on me. Take care and have a nice day. Nick
Comprehensive kit and a nice way to carry it, tnx for sharing and have fun out there in the bush. :) ... ohw and btw. i rather like the more roughed up leather look, so don't beat yourself down about it, looks pretty nice.
Excellent video, thanks Nick! Enjoyed seeing your belt kit and the work you have put into creating it too. Nice job on the one stick fire BTW and best of luck with that competition too mate. Keep up the great work, ok. :)
Say Heah, I have a very similar trio's to yours, Except one of my Bushcraft Hatchet's is a 17" Hultafors Bruks Agdor Hatchet and one of my knives I like using with it is either my Ratmandu or my Rodent 5, and I also use my Bacho Laplander, But my Fav. is my Wicked Tough Saw. Thanx for sharing. Job well done.
I corrected my post I meant Trio instead of trip Yeah this time of the years my Fav. Even the bug's find warmer weather heh heh heh we'll atleast there's not as many, But I like processing wood for a nice cozy fire, my Internet connected IPhone a Good Friend, Coffee and. I'm lucky, and God is good and I was able to accumulate some nice knives over the years, We place alot of value on our knives and rightly so. But in the last few years, we'll not too long ago, I started using an Axe, for even making kindling, The tiny stuff, Yeah I might use my knife, But a folding saw always comes too. Fire starting well tge Ole ferro rod is my preference and for emergency, I carry a road flair. But very fine Steel Wool when it catches a spark, It fires up. I use to be a 3Knife carry man, a lrg, med, and small knife, no saw and no hatchet or axe. But I guess age changes that, Like I said, I like to carry a nice Trio now a days, a knife, hatchet and saw, On some scouting trips, or extended trips I just bought myself a Piggyback Sheath for my Rodent 7 and my Rodent which is prolly my Fav. we'll one of my Fav. Bush Craft Knives, I Baldric Carry the Piggyback set. I also bought a 24"Council Wood Craft Pack Axe with the heavy duty sheath and sling and for extended trips in the cold, I got a new Ochsenkopf Axe with the Rotband Plus system But my G. B. is still one of my Fav's too. I was familiar with my Ochsenkopf Axe because it's made by Iltis Oxhead a German Co. Enough, Sorry I got carried away, It was nice, We got to do this again.
you're probably asked this a thousand times but, are you filming in the Appalachians by chance? the foliage is very similar to what I see when I hike the AT.
Kacco Ti Nick. Yeah that Husquarna sure l@@ks alot like my 17" Hultafors Bruks Agdor Hatchet. Infact now Hultafors Bruks makes the Husquarna Axe. Infact I we're celebrating the making of a perm shelter. We'll it just needs a few things. I brought my Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Survival Knife which I permanently attached my Mora Kansbol to the sheath, The Kansbol is very Lite when we worked on the Shelter, I brought my Estwing Double Bit Hatchet that Starred that day. Military uses them as Breaching Tools but I brought it because it was a stormy day. That's why I also brought these knives. There's a couple of new Saw's in town. I got a new Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal Saw I got the Black on Yellow. It's similar to the Bob Drustrude Bow Saw where there isn't any nuts and bolts to loose, I like the Agawa alot better. I also got the Crazy Horse Scabbard which houses a extra Saw Blade. Then I got a real fast saw. And I mean this sucker is fast. It's like 1, 2, 3, and your through the wood. This one is a 10" curve saw also you can get the Scabbard and there's a place for a extra Saw Blade Infact you can have the saw in the open position when your building or something. I know there's still alot of warm weather around. But I'm already thinking about getting one of my Fav's Combo's. my Rodent 7 and my Rodent 3. Infact splitting down kindling I could use the Rodent 7 by stab and twist method. Spaciba Tovarish Mnoho Harasho. Spaciba Nickolii
