This was literally the first video of yours I have ever seen and your energy and skill is so wonderful and relaxing to see.

Legit, that is just gorgeous. Everything looks beautiful, from the piece to case it's in. And whiskey should be in everyone's first aid, yeah.

WOW what a Kit!! I love it all and how well it is all made and put together! This man is out there living the best life!

WOW; the original Norse Tiny Home! I am truly humbled. And that's from someone who has been doing the medieval thing for decades. Gradually, I got all my basic kit, which I made by hand as well. But you are MUCH better at it, I am so impressed! Oh, goodie, new projects! Talk about a "bag of holding". I especially love the implements and small bags/containers that you made!

There’s no way you had enough starter gold to buy all that gear. Let me see your character sheet

Tom, I'm looking forward to this video. You have some of the most beautifully crafted and useful bushcraft gear of anyone on KZfaq.

Yes mon very cool. I was a professional guide for 15 years rescues cliff and water Young people always in mischief. Taught tracking fishing food preparation traps snares building comfortable shelters map and compass planning equipment first aid. Course once the young folk have that initial experience and confidence improvisation is the next step of the wilderness experience. Your set up for sure. Simplicity is the key to it all and leaving no impact of your presence in the bush. Good stuff you do and make Wild Bill

Friend, your conversation is so easy to follow. Thank you for your explanations.

I only just found your channel, I'm looking forward to watching the others. As a viking and bushcraft enthusiast, this channel is perfect. I cannot overstate how amazing your kit was, and how well you thought out everything you would need. I never considered a horn holder that I could stake into the ground. Great work!

I love seeing your gear Tom, and I really love that you made most of it, and what you bought is from other craftsmen. So much of your gear is wonderfully designed. But I'm especially interested in your Seax and sheath. I'm left-handed and finding a left-handed sheath is no small feat. Although I have not used one I have thought that a horizontal across the body sheath would be best and most comfortable for me. Looking at how you designed your sheath, with the two belt loops gives me ideas to try to at least modify the sheaths that came with my knives so that I can at least try the across the body style to see how that works for me. I'm interested in the design of the Seax, and all knives in general. While there are some features in knives that I like or dislike and some are obvious features I've been wondering for quite a while now what is the reason or functional difference between different knife points. If I were to make a knife from a bar of metal, especially with hand tools, the Seax design would be much easier and faster than any more complicated curved, drop point blade. Since I can find flat files and bars of metal I'm thinking now that I will try this style for my first knife. Actually it will be the 2nd knife I've made as I made a knife in my high school shop class when I was a teenager. Your saw is so beautifully designed and constructed too. I'd love to see a video on that.

This man is so peaceful and kind that bugs land on his hands while he’s showcasing items and he doesn’t even bother swatting them. Truly… A perfect man

This might be the most spiritually and mentally satisfying camping video I’ve ever seen!! Thank you!

I’ve seen most of your items but put all together they are exceedingly impressive! I think you are a living historical figure. Any Viking would have been proud to have carried what you carry in your pack!

Thank you for sharing your incredibly unique and beautiful gear with us. Truly inspiring creations!

I would love to have this guy as a dad/uncle he would be the best.

Tom, I have been impressed with every video of yours I've ever seen. Not just your style of communication, but your natural talent with crafting, your kit, your dedication!!! Absolutely Awesome!!! I pray that one day I get to your part of the world, just to have a opportunity to sit at your fire. It would be a privilege!! Best To You ALWAYS!!! Stay Strong, Live Long!!

Hej again from N.S Canada Tom. The patience you possess to pack and lay out all your Viking gear for your viewers is admirable to say the least. I wish you a great vacation with your wife and can't wait to join you again in August. Hav en god tur Tom!

I am amazed by your selection from 'The Basics' of a rich Viking material culture. Your style and craftsmanship have added to the total appeal of the kit. Add a shelter, a change of clothing and a bit more food and one could travel with this.

Another great video Tom I love all your Viking gear, I am convalescing at home recently having pneumonia I am getting better and your videos cheer me very much I am watching your vids back to back all day . Thank you for not playing music during your videos I love to hear the sounds of your fire crackling away and the natural sounds of the forest the bird song in this video is particularly beautiful. Thank you so much from a freezing cold England .

Your videos are a wonderful and relaxing escape from the stresses we live in. A good whiskey, a pipe and I sit back and enjoy. Thank you so much for doing this.

I always love seeing the gear videos. You have an amazing channel and I love the stories you tell with it. An inspiration to all who love to adventure. Thank you for these amazing videos.

Love your passion for the outdoors. Can’t believe how well thought out and compact your load out is

The amount of times this man says "My, mine, me, I" is incredible. we know it's yours, brother. Nobody is going to take it from you. Gutes Video, aber das war sehr schwierig anzuhören.

Tom, I have watched you develop this kit over the last few months and must say I am impressed with what you have created. You have a gift at making things like the spoons, pouches, etc. Thankyou for sharing your story with us and allowing us to see a glimpse of what it must have been like to live as a viking. I only hope the mosquitoes did not bother you and as always you are always happy to be outdoors. Enjoy your holiday and look forward to the next vlog. See you out there!

thanks for the detailed training 🇬🇷🔥❤️🏞️

A wonderful video, this gives us a glimpse into world before industry, before electricity, before airplanes, before automobiles and trucks, before gasoline, before hospitals and before cell phones and the internet, but through the internet, we can experience, in a small way, the lives of our forefathers. Thank you for this post and good luck.

So impressed with the beautifully crafted things. You've inspired me.

Nice to find you again. Many things has appened since I wrote my last comment, but is a very special thing to get again your videos. I can see you have evolved more survivalist and not only bushcrafter. I think is an right election for everything has happened, so greetings from Spain and thanks for your videos and your dedication.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful things it’s such a pleasure to watch you enjoy the things you have , you bring me peace I’m so grateful to have found your channel .

That adjustable cook set is badass.

Thank you Tom for showing all the items in/on your pack frame. I am going to make my Indian fry bread on an open fire sometime soon. Safe travels my friend. May God watch over you and your beautiful wife

This was awesome! It's truly amazing how much of your Viking kit is hand made by you! It's beautiful work and was so nice to see it all in one place! Thank you for sharing this Viking journey with us. It is, and continues to be, entertaining and educational....and its great that its show cases outdoor skills and the beauty of nature! Keep at it Tom!

Honestly I think I've just found my new favourite channel. I LARP and my faction is Viking/Norscan based and I've been looking for ideas for new kit / trinkets etc - just this video alone has really helped, thank you!

Tom, this is an amazing video! Thank you for going to the work of showing us your amazing craft and incredible abilities!

Your fire bowl reminds me of when we camped during one of California's drought years, and open fires were just too dangerous. We would take along an old metal gold pan as our 'fire bowl', but instead of a folding metal tripod we would just pound three small stakes into the ground and place the gold pan on top of them. Heat mostly rises, so those stakes could last all night before they burned down

Hello Tom, as always, great equipment, you still need the Ulfberht sword and the helmet. Knowing your skills in working with wood, leather and materials, you will build a Drakkar Viking boat and set off on a journey around the world to visit your subscribers. You miss your companions, I can be your steersman. Greetings.

Well thought out. Compact and effecient. That is some beautiful country.

Thank you. I love all you've made and put together !!!

Looks amazing! I’m slowly putting my kit together with pieces here and there. If you’re still looking for someone to make you a seax, I’ve learned to make a Damascus seax as well as traditional from my grandpa who lives in Sweden currently, I love making them so if you haven’t found someone I can email you!

I can see all the mosquitos flying around you. They make me itchy just watching.

I left England for a short while and shared your serenity in the woods thanks matey.

Wow! Impressive. It kind of reminds me when I was a kid and my grandma showed me her treasures hidden in her wardrobe -in a good way off course-. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing. Everything is so amazing. The whole system & backpack come together so well.

Safe travels on your vacation! Thanks for sharing an all encompassing view of your gear and more of your green woodlands.

Great set of gear. The personal touches on your equipment add some flair and style that is really interesting

This is such a great video. Love all of your bushcraft gear and the craftmanship that went into everything, very nice. The forest is gorgeous and oh so peaceful!

Another nice video Tom! I really enjoy seeing all of your craftsmanship in all of the items that you made. Great work!

Thank you Tom for these relaxing moments you share with us, there is a belief that when you sit on mother earth and walk with a slow pace and listen you get connected to the vital energy and the voice of the ancestors. Harmony , Patience is the pace of nature, walk in it's path. 🚲🌱🌲🌸🪔

So much of your kit has been designed and made by you ,, how many can claim this, truly a great achievement, super kit! 🤪

Thank you Tom have a wonderful vacation.👍👍🤠🤠

Wow, this dude is pretty cool you got a lot of stuff 👍👍👍

Love watching your gear videos so relaxed but also with lots of useful information

Tom so impressed to see just some of your hard work and skill,I know there is much more. Thanks for sharing.

GREAT CRAFTSMANSHIP and PRIDE in all you're equipment that you have crafted... CONGRATULATIONS !!! THANKS for your VIDEO !!!!

The video is incredibly beautiful and interesting , but have you noticed that the sounds themselve (since around 25 min.) are just heavenly to listen to? Wow, best soundtrack ever. Cheers

Your cooking set up is amazing! Loved everything about your pack set up as well. Immediately subscribed to your channel. Thank you for providing such beautiful and so very useful content.

Thank you for sharing your passion and crafting skills

One nice pack of gear Tom . Enjoyed

Thank you immensely for the video. I recently became interested in reenactment and your video has really taught me a lot already.

That is a lot of kit to take on your adventures! Thank you for showing and explaining each item. You are a talented craftsman😊

Tom, beautiful gear and so unique. Must be awesome to have made at least half of it yourself. I know you are trying not to pay attention to your gear so much because trips and bushcraft are not about gear necessarily and you are mostly trying to enjoy nature but I understand that it has to have huge sentimental value. Can't wait for airtime! 👍🪓

9:40 that bag is so freaking cool because of the golden thors hammer. Every thing in your kit looks stunning, great job.

The winking with the whiskey was everything XD

Tom you are a very Gifted Viking craftsman!!🙂

There is no doubt you have a great passion for what you do with all the attention to detail in everything! Such a collection! I love all the little extras added! Thanks for sharing Tom my friend! Happy bushcrafting!

You're very talented in a lot of areas, Tom. Love your old school gear and love your videos.

can't stop watching brother. I'm working quite a bit, but enjoy when I can. I enjoy the path. cheers from Texas brother

Handmade gear is the best. I will have to look up the links you posted on the making of them. Thank You for all your hard work. Give Cornelius a scratching for me.

There is such a wealth of knowledge in your videos. I love to create things as well and you have truly inspired me to continue this winter. I have a lot more of your videos to watch.

Hi, these DIY gears are beautiful. Respect! Your fathers would like them too. Best wishes from Hungary.

You've completely blown my mind! Making your own gear is truly the way to go. You've inspired me to figure out how to do this stuff.

You made my day joyful when you added the extra "kick" to your coffee and gave that sly wink to the camera. Fantastic sir!

I'm so impressed with all of your gear, how much of it you made, how functional, and how organized it is. I've seen you make quite a bit over the months, but looking at it all at once is amazing. I love everything, especially how authentically made it all is and in keeping with Viking history. Awesome!! Always wonderful to see you cook a delicious meal in the forest on a beautiful day. Enjoy your vacation with your lovely wife! 🌲🥩☕😉

Thank you Grand Master .. I wish you all the best.

I aspire to become like you in my older days, Tom! This is so inspiring!

They look nice and lovely equipment you have. Thank you for sharing them.

Great gear mate. Very impressive that you made it yourself good to see handmade products that are more relatable to the old ways. Amazing how much you have in the whole kit.

Awesome video ! I love the attention to detail in your kit. Very well done mate.

Tom, looking forward to seeing this video. You do have the best stuff on you tube. And that you diy most of it, says a lot. Very cool and old school. From your buds in Watervliet, NY. ATB to you my friend.

Always amazing to watch your videos and detailed content. Thank you, sir!

Tom, love your videos. A gear dump like this one I always watch more then once. Your an excellent craftsman. Can't wait to see you make another water bottle. Enjoy your adventures with your wife! Be safe out there.

Enjoyed the updated look at your equipment!

That little wink when you spiked your coffee got you a new subscriber hahaha :D

Great vid again Tom. Love all your gear you made and the rest of your stuff. I love making stuff like that and learning to make different things. Great job my friend and Take Care. I am making one of your lanterns you made.

Thanks for another very enjoyable video. So inspiring to see all the different things you've made. Enjoy your vacation with your wife! Be well!

I made an exact replica of your viking coin purse..going to make more things. Your demonstrations are fantastic.

Tom, so wonderful to see all your amazing work. And to hear the forest and birds sounds. One idea: how about a linen oilcloth pack cover to keep out the rain? So inspiring!!!

Thanks so much. I needed this. It's Oct. 15th and we're just having our first hint of snow outside. I appreciate you letting me join you for your afternoon in such a beautiful location. I miss getting out like you did in this video. I have several locations here in southern Colorado, USA that are so much like in your video. I lived in the woods for a couple years with my two youngest sons. Nature just makes things right. Enjoyed you sharing your gear also. It's nice to see someone who thinks along the same lines I do. Only now I see that I have to start making many of my own sacks, containers and equipment. You inspired me. Joy and peace to you my friend and to your wife as well.

Heirloom quality leatherwork, LOVE it 👍

Such great items to have,Thanks for showing us the gear that you have,

Being a fan of all things Viking, a bushcrafter, leathercrafter and woodworker this is really inspiring. I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos. Thanks Tom!

Beautiful piece of kit. Loving the content!❤️

And I love the silence and solitude. Some folk talk too much and a lot is not relevant. I hope you and your wife had a good holiday.

You’ve put a lot of thought and love in to this! So nice!

Hi Tom 👋 😊 You have quite a nice collection of gadgets and gizmos! I think what I love most about your videos is how they give such a nostalgic or historical vibe. And I definitely appreciate seeing your fine craftsmanship to everything you make. Well I guess too I enjoy the cooking portion. 😆 I love it all ❤

Watching this makes me look forward to spring when I camp with my son. Seeing those mosquitos reminds me that it's not all fun.

Incroyable! Un talent fou! J'aime tout les objets que vous avez créé

Nice!!!🤠Looking good Tom!!👍

It is amazing how much things you can make by your self Thank you for inspiring me

AWESOME!!! Incredible Tools and Utility Items!!! Beyond your natural talent for craftsmanship it looks to be a great way to enhance your camp outings!!! Well Done!!!
