soak the jute twine in wax or in pine resin if you want to use it as a fuel source that you can ignite easily .
Simply Excellent ideas ! Not much paracord. Might use tarred bank line instead.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Great job. I really like how you kept it so slim and lightweight.
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Well thought out design. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
The shrink wrap twine is a great idea. Personally, I carry mine when surf fishing, so mine stays completely submerged in saltwater for a hour at a time, so this setup wouldn’t really work for me personally, but great ideas here. I want to mention I have super glued around the meeting of blade and handle to eliminate saltwater seeping down, and with some light maintenance and polishing, knife stays rust free. For the money, I’ve never seen a better knife. I have many benchmades both custom and regular, but the mora companion is my go to for real grimey work when fishing, and I loved it so much, I bought 5 more exactly the same. Value really doesn’t do these knives justice. Crazy good deal.
Thanks and thanks for sharing! I never considered the Mora for a dive knife. Make sense for the super glue. I have heard seepage can occur even with normal use.
if you soak the twine in wax or pine resin it will be waterproof and even more flamable (one spark fire) . no shrink wrap needed . and you can use gorilla tape for waterproof tape too
Excellent set up, looks very professional
Thanks a lot!
👍 Really nice kit. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I really like that heat shrink idea over the jute. I'm going to try this, but maybe try adding a half book of paper matches and the striker as well and add them under the jute. Between painting those matches with clear nail polish, and the heat shrink tubing, I think they'd have a real good chance of being there in working condition if ever needed. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! Adding waterproof strike anywhere matches is a good idea.
use strike anywhere matches and you can use the mora logo on the blade as a striker for matches
Very cool kit
Thanks!
Love Mora 👍🏻
It's so good!
Very clever and compact.
Thanks so much!
Awesome video ❤️👍
Thanks!
Wow, nice job!
Thank you!
Hi, great video again , why didn't you steep the jute twine in molten wax before attaching it ?
Waxed jute twine is a far superior tinder and flame extender ( you can leave the ends un waxed to fluff up ... )
?
Waxing the jute would also enable you to use ranger banding instead of heat shrink tubing ( ranger band is also a phenomenal wet environment flame extender )
I still like the kit .
I'm interested in your opinion on what I've suggested as I'm always willing to learn .
Nice setup
Thank you!
Very well thought out. Pretty much all I need to get me through a hard night. Only thing I might have added was heavy duty aluminum foil. Because it has so many uses.
I really like the color choice also great job.
Thanks a lot. Yes, the addition of foil can work but will bulk it up significantly as I feel a minimum of 18" x 12" piece is needed to be able to make a container for boiling water.
brilliant
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Really nice Mora knife survival kit sir… well done! I really like the shrink wrap idea. Going to modify my Mora ASAP! Going to add a Wazoo emergency water bag that you can boil water in and add at least 10 h2o purification tablets. Great ideas to draw from. Thanks!
Thank you. Glad you found value and good idea for the water bag too. Thanks.
I would prefer fewer elements, but the largest and high-quality flint and a good compass from Suunto
Thanks for your thoughts!
Very nice
Thanks!
Hey cool man! 👍
Thanks!
The only thing I can think to add is sharpening tools. Tbh the aesthete in me would put everything some other place except what I use specifically with that knife, but your way you get peace of mind if the knife is your only guaranteed edc. Those 'shouldn't be alive' videos spring to mind.
Thanks for your comments. This is built as a backup kit and would be really only used as a last resort.
excellent kit, very tightly assembled. Urban Knife Guy, what are your thought about the Mora Spark? Will you ever make a survival kit with that model?
Thanks a lot. I originally did want to use the Mora Spark for this but u already all these bits of kits and this knife so did not want to buy a new knife. But yes, if I had the Mora Spark, I would not need the ferro rod lanyard here.
Nice! I did something similar...but had a 1L water bag and 10 purification tablets
Thanks! You must be really worried about your water situation 😅
Yes it's 37 Celsius!!!
use the light my fire mora which has fire steel inside the handle of the knife you can swap the fire steel out for something else like a little magnifying round with handle which can start fires when sun is out, and helps to see small things, also a pair of tweezers, and maybe a little flat folding nail clipper, and file.
Thanks for your suggestions!
great vid. I too like the heat shrink idea and will look to see where I can find some around here. The only question is that is a lot of metal that could impact the accuracy of your compass. Might want to consider how this is impacting that with a test compass away from the metals?
Thanks! You will have to move the compass away to use it. But being near metal will not damage the compass long term. Only if it is magnetised. Thanks!
I like your set up. I think for the second needle I would have used a sail needle to be Indians able to use thread from the paracord. Another thought, use the mora that has rod with it.
Yes agreed. Good for repairs too. Thank you.
A couple small fishing hooks might be a good idea.
@@Red-uf4hr great idea.
Esto ke le has puesto está genial,yo además le pondría una motosierra un mueble bar y unos pedales
Thank you for your ideas!
Your mora builds look cooler then mine, but why do you cut off the extra heat shrink? That’s extra fire material you could cut off when your cold or need too cook? Thanks for the info I’ll sub I just now found your channel 👍🏼 your kit looks clean like OEM!
Thank you! I just prefer it to be neat. 🤣
@@urbanknifeguy makes sense it does look great, thank you sir 👍🏼
No fish hooks?
This is awesome! Do you make these to sell? How much would you say the cost is for this setup?
Thanks! No I don't make these to sell. I would have to calculate the actual cost. A lot of stuff you might need to buy in a minimum quantity. But I use the material for different kits and pouches so readily have a lot of the items. But I would not consider this Kit particularly expensive to put together. It is finding the items that will take time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I would have just ranger banded a ferro rod to the sheath and put a 90 degree spine on the blade.
Wouldn't trust that fire steel gadget. sure it's better then nothing but if your in a situation where you absolutely have to make a fire I think it would behoove you to have something a little more substantial. which can still be done in keeping a small profile on your knife. Just an opinion there are many like it but this is mine.
Sure thanks! This is a 3rd redundancy kit so is really a last resort. If the kit has to be accessed, it means things are bad.
of course people carry lighters but those fail and break . this is a backup that will never not work
also if the twine is soaked in wax or resin it is a one strike fire
@@urbanknifeguy
If my last resort is a ferro rod, l want a good one, not bush craft jewlery.
Good kit other wise.
✌🖖🇨🇦
Why dont you wrap a BIC lighter inside the shrink wrap tube?
IMO, it will be way too big and bulky, even with the mini, especially with all the other items. Thanks for watching!
Add some fishing hooks
I personally think that using rubber tubes/ranger bands to cover the jute twine is easier.
From a practical standpoint, it will be very hard to pull and cover a 2" long ranger band over everything. You could use multiple 1/2" bands and overlap I guess. Thanks!
@@urbanknifeguy Great kit ! Wouldn't it just be easier to heat shrink tube the whole thing? Except the compass and maybe the firerod..
@@PapaJoeB you can use the tape for alot of things even tinder .
you can soak the twine in wax or resin so it is waterproof fire tinder
electrical tape is better for warping to fit around items .
Gets a bit too tacky and messy for me! And it does come off after time.
Godzilla turns around
and heads back to Japan.
❌️ 🦖 🤣
Generally good ideas, I just don't like the fact that it looks to be a only once use item as you have to get everything out to use it and it's not really possible to enlarge and shrink the tubing back into place. but like the items used, it would be a life saver for sure if you get stranded with nothing else..
you can soak the jute twine in pine resin or wax so that it doesnt need the heat shrink to be waterproof and also it would be easier to light . the pine resin is also good for making bandages if you get cut . heat it and put some on the cut and it will act as antisceptic and keep the wound covered and even waterproof . old school tricks haha
@@myname-mz3lo yep, I'm kind of old school also, over my 50' and knew of the pine resin as a way for treating a wound as honey, more dificult to get forcsure but as effective.
Still I use a home made sheath for my knife that acts as a small pounch that I use crossed across my chest. It as everything I need for survival for 2 or 3 days. Closed it's about the lenght of my ESEE 6 and twice the with, less tham 2 inches thick.
Never had to really put it to test, and honestly hope never will, but I trust that with what I have there and my knoledge it would be enought if not seriously injured.
It is really meant as a last ditch kit as opposed to something that is used regularly. It's My 3rd redundancy. Thanks for watching!
