had an uncle who used to camp with me and grandpa quite a bit, he carried a pocket knife , a belt knife and a great big 16in bladed thing he called his fighting knife on a baldric. (I believe it was an old german bayonet). You are the second person I have ever heard use the word baldric in a sentence other than uncle. ( he was what they called ecentric back in the day).

When I was coming up over 50 years ago if someone said that they were a bush-crafter we would not have known what they were talking about. All the older men we looked up to were woodsmen.

I agree on woodcraft. Only in recent years of my life have I heard the term bushcraft for the same thing. For getting in and out of a vehicle or sitting in a lawn chair I like the sheath to swivel out of the way, so I attach to a belt loop with a carabiner or key ring with interlocking teeth

@ostekuste3646 28 күн бұрын

I carry a Kephart style knife every day as my general purpose work knife. Does 99 percent of what I need, with a small Opinel as secondary. I’m a lefty as far as knife use, and carry on my left side belt. I use a dangler sheath because it gets the knife low enough to access when wearing a pack with a kidney belt. The dangler sheath also moves and flexes when crouching or sitting so works a lot better for me on the move. Comes in handy when I’m carrying my pew pew on my right hip, as I shoost with my right hand dominant. I’m all goofed up 😂

Great video, Blackie. I would like the Baldric carry for winter. I would have to get a 6-way sheath like yours. None of my knives have that type of sheath. 👍

Great video, Blackie. Funnily, I was watching a video from Waypoint survival yesterday (the one with the tiny coffee pot) and he name dropped you, and now you mentioned Dave Canterbury from the pathfinder school. It's amazing how connected this whole community is. I'm really happy to be able to learn from you guys. Anyways, have a blessed weekend and, again, thank you for this.

I have a 6 waysheath for my WC homesteader, I carry it on haversack or on my belt "Cheyenne style " and a buck 110 w a kwiwi brass thumb stud or a case hunter in carbon steel from 1965 and in front pocket a case 1940-64 long pull bareheaded jack which is just like what my grandfather carried just different handle , I like good carbon steel the WC RST keeps them razor sharp... I prefer woodscrafter too as I consider myself a Woodsman more than anything else.

Talking about knives make sure your knife will not fall out if you are up side down ( which means your knife is not secure and I add another piece of leather to the sheath that will keep the knife will not fall out of the sheath

Where a bush means a scrub in the broader sense, as used in bushcraft, it means 'wilderness'. Down under they talk about 'going bush' and also in Africa, South America, Asia and some other parts of the world there are 'bushman'. They can live in the jungle, a tropical rainforest, a more desert like environment, etc. and are still called 'bushman'. So woodsman and woodcraft are limited to woodlands. Bushcraft covers it all. But a good video about different ways to carry a knife and about what knives you choose to bring and also about the sheath and carry system. It's all about the 5 P's (Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance).

@fredcox6994 18 күн бұрын

Desert,jungle,pine forest, it's all wood you'll be hacking,carving,etc.,so it's still woodcraft

@stevanoutdoor 17 күн бұрын

@@fredcox6994 Cactus is a plant. Bamboo also and more specific a grass. Where the Coconut tree is a tree obviously the coconut itself is a fruit. How about building an Iglo? That's water. So if we use these are we gonna call it plantcraft, grasscraft, fruitcraft and watercraft? It sure isn't wood so it's not woodcraft but it's all bushcraft.

I like the idea of that 6 way sheath, but couldn't catch the business name. How much would something like that cost? And how would you build it? I have The Woodsman knife (4" blade) with a plastic sheath. Should I change it up & with what? I picked up 2- 11" Old Hickory Butcher Knives. That's bigger than their standard 7-7 1/2" butcher blade. Not sure why. What could they be used for, and how should they be carried safely?

just wondering, how are you on the theory of Junior knives ? ie cutting edge but no sharp point even as an adult most of the ' how did that happen' minor cuts have usually been caused by the tip

@blackoracle69 Ай бұрын

my first pocket knife when i was 5 was a barlow my grandfather snapped the tip off of it then rounded with a file so i could not stab myself only cut.. i guess you could call it a junior knife and would be a good idea at the beginning to be sure they will treat the knife with respect

Great video when I finally got to the end. Biggest issue was the KZfaq Ad blocker that came out at each point you went to switch knife sheaths or carry configurations. The video kept getting interrupted and it took me 45 minutes and a lot of refreshing, going back and forth. I got thru your video and it was a great video but is there anyway you can tell KZfaq to quit stopping your video once it starts to be seen. I filed a KZfaq complain but I no this stopping the video every 2 minutes has to interfere with the algorithm.

Jesus ... with all the shooting going on in the background I'm going to have to recommend a good kevlar vest and helmet. Maybe the helmet can be light blue so people think you're with some UN Peacekeeping force. As far as knife carry I like the haversack option and clip-on sheath. How's that little Mora for kitchen duty? My wife wants to know.

I never ever agreed with the neck knife concept. I always wear a tee shirt. By the time I untuck a neck knife from a tee shirt, I can unsheathe a knife from my hip carry. Untucked neck knife is just dangerous. The only thing that ever rode on my neck is dog tags and a p38/p51 while under contract.

The dudes been doing it for decades. He's long in the tooth now with health issues. He's actually an authority on it... Or WAS 15 years ago. Ripened up now, it's called deep wisdom. When I was your age, I'd get the shit beat out of me for that kind of dismissive disrespectful comment. Fwiw, Dave is among the leading authority and highly skilled. But, he's a product billboard selling his own brand. That's a fact; not disrespectful. Maybe that's why you don't like Dave. I'm curious... How many name's know can you tie on command. I can do 11 and I'm a novice. Happy trails, boy.

Do you dismiss experts that only do talks on their topic of expertise? People don't have to prove anything to you. If you hush up and listen you may hear something interesting
