Probably the best, cheapest and simplest way to sharpen your scandi grind knife
I´m almost only use the Mora Classic knife, so the way I demonstrate to sharpen a scandi grind knife in this video fulfills all my needs.
Making a sharpening board from wet sandpaper and a piece and a board of some sort (in this case a skirting board) is cheep and works very well. Make sure the board has a flat and smooth surface.
I use wet sandpaper between 120 to 1200 grit depending on the condition of the knife edge. For honing I have a a piece of wood with a piece of leather belt attached to it. I have put some abrasive paste and oil on the belt.
When sharpening a scandi grind knife it´s important to sharpen the whole width of the bevel. I do this by pushing down with my finger on the bevel to keep it flat against the sharpening board.
I have some sharpening stones that I use occasionally and there are a multitude of sharpening stones, machines, jigs and so on on the web if your in to that.
Hope you enjoy

Making a Sami nuorssjo, the best long log fire
Переглядів 499 тис.3 місяці тому
The Sami nuorssjo was one of the fires used when the Sami people were following and looking after their reindeer. They traveled light and stopped where the reindeer stopped and slept there and the next morning they moved on. It's not a fire you do every day it was used when you were on the move. It's probably the best fire to sleep beside if you don´t have a sleeping bag as it will keep you war...
Fire with spruce boughs in northern Sweden during winter
Переглядів 9164 місяці тому
The spruce twigs can be a bit icy so I used a piece of birch bark to light the twig bundle. I prefer to make the fireplace on the ground so first I have to dig away the snow. It´s a lot easier if the firewood is arranged in piles of different dimensions before you light the fire. Hope you enjoy.

Bow drill in the rain
Переглядів 1,8 тис.6 місяців тому
We have had a very much rain lately so I thought why not go out and try to make a bow drill fire:-) I used a dead, standing alder trunk for the spindle and hearth. Out of the same material I made a feather stick and a handful of wood scrapings, the rest I used as fire wood. Hope you enjoy. Mattias
Acorn porridge and flint and steel fire
Переглядів 7877 місяців тому
Acorns are high i energy and a good food, but you have to leach out the astringent, bitter taste that comes from the tannin. Here I crushed the acorns, pealed off the shells and crushed them some more. The finer the pieces the better and faster the leaching. You can make it into a flour and then leach it as some Native Americans did. The leaching can be made in various ways. Leaching them in a ...
Primitive fishing for flatfish using a baited line
Переглядів 8608 місяців тому
Made a 40 meter main line of retted linden bark (Tilia cordata). I attached 10 snoods made of braided linden bark to the main line, each with a bone gorge. I baited the bone gorges with a piece of herring. A stone sinker was attached to one end of the main line. The main line was laid out on the seabed to catch flatfish. I caught one fine European flounder (Platichthys flesus) that totally swal...

Fire with green dwarf birch and fish cooking
Переглядів 33810 місяців тому
Dwarf birch is found in the north and mountain areas. It can be used green for fire and in certain areas its the most common fuel. It has been used for this by the Sami people. You don´t need any cutting tools for this just use your hands and break off the twigs and branches. Its not a long lasting fire you have to add fuel often but it works for cooking a fish or a brew. I found dead twigs to ...
Bow drill without any modern cutting tools...and a fish
Переглядів 853Рік тому
I thought it was time to make a fire with the bow drill without using any modern cutting tools. For the spindle and hearth I used salix which usually works fine and the inner bark from salix was used for the cordage. The cordage was braided which I think works better than a twisted one, but i snapped anyway. I just tied it together with a reef knot and continued to drill. The most time consumin...
How to create large, hot sparks with the ferrocerium rod
Переглядів 1,5 тис.Рік тому
This way of using the ferrocerium rod creates well aimed and large, hot sparks if done properly and its the one method I use the most. A common problem I often notice is that the steel scraper is pushed into the tinder when creating the sparks. Depending on what kind of tinder you have pushing the steel scraper into the tinder can be a big problem. With this method that is not an issue since yo...
Proper preparations is vital when lighting a fire, dont cut corners
Переглядів 838Рік тому
Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. The 5 P´s are a good reminder when it comes to making a fire. I can´t stress enough the importance of proper preparations, especially in bad weather conditions. The worse the conditions, the less the margins. In good conditions you might get a way by cutting some corners, but that´s about it. I started by collecting and shaping the hearth board and ...

A fire made in a deciduous forest. I only used ash (Fraxinus excelsior) for this fire. The only tools I used were an axe and a ferrocerium rod. It was vey wet and damp outside but I took the fuel from a dead, standing tree. Hope you enjoy.
Bow drill with alder and feather stick tinder bundle
Переглядів 542Рік тому
The weather had been rainy and humid for several days so I chopped the spindle and hearth board out of a dead, standing piece of alder (Alnus glutinosa). I also drilled for a longer time with a lighter pressure on the spindle to dry out the material a bit. Hazel is fairly straight grained so I used that for my feather sticks. Hope you enjoy.

Ok this is pretty badass!
So cool!
Wow så häftigt! Fantastisk överlevnadskunskap. Tack för du gjorde detta och delade med dig. Vet du om det finns andra träslag än tall som man kan göra detta med? Tänker utanför Skandinavien/Europa?
Tack så mycket😊 Skulle tro att det funkar med de flesta träslag.
Okej, tack för svar!
so much effort for nothing, I'd prefer self feeding rolling down logs ...easy peasy!
great execution! thumbs up
bro you dont even need a fire with all the calories youre burning flipping them logs wtf lol.
Yeah, but can you tie a bowline?
Is hugging the tree before cutting part of the ritual?
17 min 12 seconds - I thought he was cooking roasted chesnuts.
Very interesting. I’ve never seen a campfire done like this before. Seems effective
LOL….
Love your videos - I am watching from Toronto, Canada. I like how you use a spindle which is so narrow at the top, and of course those wonderful feather sticks!
Thank you very much😊
You too can make a huge burn mark in the forest for everyone to see for years! At least it also takes five hours to make and burns a thousands calories!
What a geekoid....just make a damned campfire like a human.
Nice video, thank you for sharing. What are your preferred brand / type of boots to wear, while making your videos?
It is a log fire. Not the best or the worst. Nice.....nice.....not thrilling.....but nice.
too much work
When your charred punk wood looks like this, it takes 1 to a few strikes to get it going(best type of charred punk wood)... When you char enough, you will know what to look for, more so what kind of punkwood to look for before you char it.
Dave Canterbury did this, without the fire ash, and it took with flint and steel little treating. In saying that, it took many strikes before he got the amadou to take.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that a fire like this can keep quite a few people warm at the same time. It is usually demonstrated by an individual but it seems like the fire design was actually used by groups as much as individuals. I understand that if you have a group of people it's easier to keep a conventional fire going but even in that case being able to sleep through the night would be an advantage
I knew about long fires but you're the first I've seen to make that top log stop, thanks for the info
I would recommend a chainsaw. Unless you're packing out, that is.
1:40 that’s what she said.
You have a saw and an ax with you, but you have to break several dozen living branches to make a bed. Why didn't you just take a sleeping bag?

Of course it fast forwards and does not show him using a torch to light everything.
Why I will die within the first two days of the Apocalypse: I may have the tools, but I don't have the strength to do this.
3:47 what does your bracelette say ? 😆
1) chainsaw. Otherwise it's craft fire making for the ocd camper that brings grey poupon, caviar and champagene. 2) Freaking 13+hours of continual, body lentgh heat!!? HEll YEAH 13+hours!!!🤘🍾
10hrs later your dead from exhaustion
who makes that axe? its perfect.
How many days work was this!?
That is really cool!
Need two nights sleep to recover from the prep work
What keeps the smaller perpendicular log from catching fire and allowing the top log to fall?
It's made from green pine wood.
@@mattiasnorberg ahhhhh. Ty. Great video
@@mattiasnorberg new subscriber !!
Be careful of the fire crotch when using this technique.
Never seen this technique before, great idea!!
Rockin a thrasher hoodie 🤘
lol the fire has been burning for 13 hours and only took 13 hours to make omg
Sami people are they still around or did they all freeze to death?
All he is ( NOT ) missing is the smartphone…………
Fire has been lit a bit before dusk, and sometimes before dawn the captions says "the fire has been burning for 13hours". Math totally checks out on this one lmao. On what planet do you live?
I hope I get to try this someday! Thanks for the great... quiet, video! lovely
Nice thanks for sharing!
ua-cam.com/video/lR9yRPxA99Y/v-deo.htmlsi=JfRqWF_5S2sLEduz - much less effort - longer lasting - can easily 'replace' the upper log - can cook food on two lower logs after shifting the upper one a bit
New sub here .That hand saw is amazing I guess you get what you pay for, wood worker here hello from down under.
why? this is a stupid waste of time and effort.
Nice
Found this interesting but we invented chainsaws, for cutting logs and creating flat edges on a log, this guy must have been here days
