Thumbs up Dave! I have to say, the sound of a Mora knife clicking into it's sheath is one of the most awesome sounds I have ever heard. BECAUSE it instantly reminds me of SO MANY good times on the trail, hiking, camping, doing bushcraft tasks. I just love that sound.
great info Dave! I was never thought I would like mora knives and then I finally decided to order one to try, that was a few years ago and now I own 8, absolutely great knives!
First bulk knife perches for all my emergency kits was a Mora tricked that knife out drilled whole for bank line lanyard epoxied if I remember correctly a dime for a bow drill then watched Dave's Common man's bushcraft serries which gave me the idea to ranger band 2 reciprocated saw blades 1 metal the other wood to the back of the sheath then took a mint tin that opened from the top took 2 stainless steel plumbing clamps and attached the metal tin to the sheath so instead of having to lash resip blades to handle could know use plumbing clamps worked great inside the metal tin was my fire kit lol they were so cost effective had them stashed everywhere still do for most part but have learned and progressed I think
okay so a tip from the PNW if in the PNW it would be very wise to use the garberg with the leather sheath. I have already ran the blade through its paces here. the leather sheath is easy to clean, and is much more sturdy....for instance when hiking through brush, now I'm not saying the kydex isn't good, I'm just saying IMO leather is best for PNW environment. also keep it up Dave great advice, I'll be adding some comments to your pine fire starter video soon.
Dave what do you think about air rifles? it's kind of a lost art I think. super cheap and great for small game. you should think about it. maybe do a video.
Have had Mora knives 30 years, really good knifes. Sometimes I wish that they had a sheet like the one Hedgehog makes verticle on the back on the belt. Maybe they have and I haven' t seen it yet or the Molle-system can be used in that way.
You can put the retaing strap on the garberg and then slide the belt loop on under the retaining strap, then slide it into the multi mount bracket and will stay together. I then slide a long piece of inner tube over the multi mount which allows me to stick a large ferro rod and multiple tender quicks inside. Sounds bulky but it really isn't. Just a tip or trick mod that has worked well for me.
Good stuff Dave...when r U gonna do something on cold weather food off the land- not so much as hunting, but more foraging for substantial survival foods not pertaining to the hunt/fish foods? Have wondered about this & would appreciate it if U can do a video that would add to the squirrel or fish caught as far as something to add to those. Thanks Dave.
Not much on greens and nuts bro, I prefer to kill my food and that I have shown a hundred ways to Sunday in past videos, if you plan to survive of nuts and berries all winter, you need to rethink that option.
wildernessoutfitters...no way am I saying I'm wanting to survive on nuts& berries, but would like to know what can b added to proteins hunted & fished. Wouldn't want to survive on nuts, berrys,& greens at any time of yr. Just wondered about what can b added to the deer I've killed or rabbit/squirrel or fish that I get. Not that gravy, biscuits, & sausage ain't a full meal but what would U b able to get during the winter to add to or have with a deer roast? Sorry if I sounded like a veggie head but what is available to get n the woods at this time of yr? I live n similar kinds of land where U r...hills/mountains of east Tenn.
Depends on the environment, but pick'ens are slim this is the reason for gathering and storing during the growing season, you can find a few things but when the snow is on, it will be tough
wildernessoutfitters...understood. Wasn't thinking ahead about that...so easy to not prepare when the store has everything needed. Mainly thinking n the not prepared way which is how people fail.
I think the best way to look at it would be to look historically at what the natives and early settlers lived on. From what I know the natives in the east relied heavily on wild rice, certain tree barks, dried roots, dried fruits and acorns for the winter (and of course meat). Further north they would have had to sustain themselves mainly on meat. I don't think they would have foraged much plant foods during the winter months, they would have relied on their food reserves and hunting for survival. If you have to forage for plant foods in the winter you would be already screwed in a long tern survival scenario imo.
Well Dave looks old............ J.K. dude. I just haven't seen your videos in a LONG time, lol. I liked the video. A lot of cool stuff. Keep it up man!!!
The only mora I have is a frost, I dug it out of the ground when I was putting in a new potato garden, after using it for a while I can see why they tossed it in the ground, not a knife for me.
Now Dave you know being over 50 we should never ever ever ever use the word hack when there are so many other real and explanatory words to use. lol .that being said I really have enjoyed All of your videos.
Thanks, been checking the website out found plenty of things to add to my gear.. now saving the money so I can do it all at once but an order will come soon.. Cheers Dave
Dave, it sounded to me as though you were saying the Garberg leather sheath was not able to be belt carried... Is that actually the case with the leather sheath?
_A Mora video I haven't seen,. I did think for a moment that I was watching a Swedish version of cups. Put down your money and tell me where the Mora is! Lol_
So starting a fire with a sharpening stone and a knife is not SURVIVAL?, that was my last video, and I just finished a trapping series showing lots of traps, trapping, and animals caught?, guess what I am saying is, I don't do this for a living and I work for myself so I make the videos I want to make, I have over 1100, have you watched them all?
wildernessoutfitters I watched a lot of them but i miss the good old ones... all respect to you i didnt mean to start negative comments. U make great work still but i miss the old videos

Very informative video. I like the belt carrying option for the Eldris.

Just got my first Mora yesterday.. Love it.
Bought my Mora knife based on one of your reviews and love it. Thanks!!
At the end I was getting kinda dizzy watching the knives swapping back and forth. Almost like game o three card monte LOL
I hate the term "hacks'. Us old fellas need to protect the "old ways" and keep calling them "tips";-)

I also prefer Leather
I add a pony tail elastic doubled to attach between the belt loop and the pammel of the knife handle !
Really like all your videos !
Dave what do you think about air rifles? it's kind of a lost art I think. super cheap and great for small game. you should think about it. maybe do a video.
I like to use a ranger band on my mora compagnon to secure it ... worked great so far thanks for the video !
Only just seen this video, informative. The bit that I like is as left handed I've an option. Wish more manufacturers would see this
iv been asking bout lefty sheaths love my bushcraft black but again right hand carry only this is a nice change with the Mora's atb brother
Like my mora alot when I got mine had 2 options either belt mount or a MOLLE capable mount
Great HONEST information. You are greatly appreciated.

I really didn't know that I could do that all ur videos are very good I love seeing all ur videos
A dangler option would be awesome, or a belt mount with a knob on the front to mount the eldris as a piggy back using the overall hole you mentioned
ohh Dave, please tell me you did not use the word "hacks" lol they are nice tips. good video. thanks for sharing.
Dave can you do more outdoor cooking videos? What about MRE's are they a viable pack and go food?
Dont let this become a product channel.
dude its like one tip video besides gear is cool
With a knot hole in the belt loop you can also hang your knive on For your coat

Yep, but the kansbol and the garberg get a little scraping damage on the handle by using the plastic sheath.
Well Dave looks old............ J.K. dude. I just haven't seen your videos in a LONG time, lol. I liked the video. A lot of cool stuff. Keep it up man!!!
hi Dave I was wondering which of the Mora knives is your favorite and why?
The only mora I have is a frost, I dug it out of the ground when I was putting in a new potato garden, after using it for a while I can see why they tossed it in the ground, not a knife for me.
I got the Mora Bushcraft Black. Nice knife but he diamond sharpen on the side came off. Guess the glue just didn't stand up.
what do you think about longest knife?
Cowabunga DC.! Greetings from Ausatralia.
So THAT is why there is a split on the back. I honestly had no idea, ha. I am going to try that sometime.
great stuff Dave... Merry Christmas
Now Dave you know being over 50 we should never ever ever ever use the word hack when there are so many other real and explanatory words to use. lol .that being said I really have enjoyed All of your videos.
Hey Dave, do you think Mora will ever come out with a carbon Garberg? Thanks for all the great videos brother. God bless.
I like the look of that 'Garber' you have. Can you offer a link, I can't find it.
Thanks.
It may be an accent thing. Is it garberg?
www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com/search?q=Garberg
any hacks for a left handed sheet for a Mora HD companion?
dose the mora back fit in the Leader sheth? greetings from Luxembourg
would you recommend a patina on the mora blades? or keep them clean?
Mr Canterbury you are the bomb! Do you read all the comments?
For the first 48 hrs I do
wildernessoutfitters pretty awesome bro.
Great knives thanks for this video.. .. do you ship these to the Netherlands?
Morakniv is a Swedish company so if Dave does not I bet morakniv.se does.
Almost daily we ship worldwide brother
Thanks, been checking the website out found plenty of things to add to my gear.. now saving the money so I can do it all at once but an order will come soon.. Cheers Dave
Dave, it sounded to me as though you were saying the Garberg leather sheath was not able to be belt carried... Is that actually the case with the leather sheath?
NO the Leather sheath is made for belt carry
+wildernessoutfitters Ok, I assumed so. Thank you for clarifying.
I like the way my plastic Mora sheaths piggy back on each other.
Good Information
_A Mora video I haven't seen,. I did think for a moment that I was watching a Swedish version of cups. Put down your money and tell me where the Mora is! Lol_
Good stuff here!
did you get a good amount of snow down your way? ....we got about 5" here in Coshocton county
Is northriveroutdoors one of Dave's websites?
No brother
Ok good to note. Thanks.
One of the more interesting carry option is cross body or bandoleer fashion, a length of webbing threaded through the Multi Mount, top to bottom ways.
you are the best
you are my idol! grate video
Clip Point or Drop Point?
not sure what style I should get
Garberg high five!
Four and a half
Good knowledge to have. Thank you for sharing
Swedish steel ;)
nice hacks
nifty
Why aint u doing more of the outdoors videos? Enough of forging and reviewing, we want bushcraft, survival and trapping
So starting a fire with a sharpening stone and a knife is not SURVIVAL?, that was my last video, and I just finished a trapping series showing lots of traps, trapping, and animals caught?, guess what I am saying is, I don't do this for a living and I work for myself so I make the videos I want to make, I have over 1100, have you watched them all?
wildernessoutfitters I watched a lot of them but i miss the good old ones... all respect to you i didnt mean to start negative comments. U make great work still but i miss the old videos
Does the leather sheath fit the companion?
