That was an excellent talk Blackie. Victorinox Ranger grip lives in my pocket & it's a very capable all around knife. In the woods l add a C.R.K.T. minamalist around my neck & Mora Garberg on my sling pack. 🇨🇦
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).
Thank you for this very informative video. I'm from Europe (UK) and yes, getting to a belt knife in the winter can be a challenge for us Silver Wolves. My preference is for a drop leg carry knife (Boker Dessert Warrior) as I can access it without bending my arm too much (movement issues) and it sits below my jacket. Also can be accessed when sat down.
More knives are always better. It's a terrible experience to get out on the trail and find yourself lacking the right tool for a job. I've learned alot from you Blackie thanks
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.
A carry my WCSK in either a kydex sheath or a more elaborate SGO leather sheath that has all the bells and whistles that Randy offers. Excellent craftsmanship.
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 😂
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
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.
👍 Got an idea for a new video. I started doing some spoon carving. Trying to find the right tools for sharpening. And the proper way of sharpening them.
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.
Blackie the Cheyanne as you call it is considered the cross draw i carry magnums that style all the time! on the baldrict as you called it you may want to add a couple D rings to strap it onto the harness!!
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 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.
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
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
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
Well, here in Maine.We have a lot more woods than you do and we call it the Bush.Just like they do in Alaska, they call it the Bush they do in Michigan.You're probably sound like you're in the South.Lot of pine trees in.So anyways
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.
Great video when I finally got to the end. Biggest issue was the UA-cam 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 UA-cam to quit stopping your video once it starts to be seen. I filed a UA-cam complain but I no this stopping the video every 2 minutes has to interfere with the algorithm.
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
If you were as smart as you think you are you would know that when he is in his backyard his backdrop is a camo poncho or tarp. He is out in the woods in this video. Many times it’s next to a shooting range.
If its a larger flatter style machete , I adapt and carry a smaller knife afixed to the sheath very much like ReallyBigMonkey 1, or my saw, an ESEE Izula or Mora as a neck knife, a SAK in the pocket and a Buck 110 or Cold Steel SRK in Carbon V on the belt😂
Of primary importance to me in my woods craft because I walk on crutches, the forearm type, or I'm in a chair, is IF I'm carrying a large Khukuri like yours or say a Cold Steel Trailmaster, is IF I fall on that sucker and it runs into my thigh, Im probably fixing to exit stage right, the hard horrible way. These flimsy cheap cordura factory made sheathes are ok for storage if water proofed after a sort, but to carry??😂 No. So its gotta be heavy leather or REAL kydex, with welts, etc. I have come to the conclusion that with the purchase of a larger WCK, that multi carry sheath like you show here isn't just a want its a valid need
have a great weekend everyone
AMEN ON WOODCRAFT 👍🤠👍 That is what it was called growing up
That was an excellent talk Blackie.
Victorinox Ranger grip lives in my pocket & it's a very capable all around knife. In the woods l add a C.R.K.T. minamalist around my neck & Mora Garberg on my sling pack.

thanks for watching
The neck knife was developed for cold climates were heavy coats prevent knife access at the waist. 😊😊😊
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).
Great reviews on carry positions, Thank you!😊

Very interesting subject thanks for sharing. Subscribed

It's a terrible experience to get out on the trail and find yourself lacking the right tool for a job.
I've learned alot from you Blackie thanks
Great video! I live up in cold country, and I usually use a dangler, but the Cheyenne carry looks even better!
I like the cross draw with a 45 degree angle, did not know this was called Cheyenne carry . Thank you Blackie.
Blackie, Thanks for the video. I've learned a few different carry options!
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 know thats what we looked up to as boys the WOODSMEN
😊 consistency can be important as well
yes it is
Hello 👋 Blackie, thank you for sharing this most informative video. Stay safe out there. 😊
I love my different neck knives
i really love mine for food prep and doing carving crafts
Yes my friend
great advice as always!
Glad you think so!
Good stuff Blackie 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
Another good video
A carry my WCSK in either a kydex sheath or a more elaborate SGO leather sheath that has all the bells and whistles that Randy offers. Excellent craftsmanship.
Good video Blackie, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Much appreciated
Great Video, thanks for sharing
my pleasure
Nice job on video and talking about and showing different ways of carrying knives..

👍 Got an idea for a new video. I started doing some spoon carving. Trying to find the right tools for sharpening. And the proper way of sharpening them.
Sounds great!
I prefer horizontal belt carry for most situations. I hang them everywhere though depending on whatever.
i have close friends That do that and are very happy with it
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. 👍
When you get the chance, will you please do a review of the Mora Garberg? It is truly a heavy duty, one tool option
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.

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

Balldrick or cheyene is my way alway have 2 knives my Swiss and a belt knife
awesome brother thanks for watching
Blackie, you mentioned carrying a Kukri. I always wondered how to really use one with that curved blade. Perhaps you could give us a demonstration?
i have done several of those in the past i need to do an update
@@BLACKIETHOMAS I’ll try to look for them. Thanks! Have a good weekend!
CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY KNIVES!!! Do you have a video of how you covered the sheath with leather?
Not yet!
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
correct proper retention is key

the sheath is from stichgear.com he will make it fit what ever knife you want
How would you rig a boot knife Blackie?
i carried a gerber that way in long years past i will try and do a video on it
@@BLACKIETHOMAS I wear lace up boots. I’m wondering how to attach it. I know they wore them in ww2. With two leather belts.
@@OPSTuT , I saw a leg knife rig attached to a WW2 boot gaiter.
@@hk45c62 you can get a glimpse of them in band of brothers.

Boot or leg knife?
i will address in a future video
Could you attach a loop around a button or a strap around the chest to keep it in place
Well, here in Maine.We have a lot more woods than you do and we call it the Bush.Just like they do in Alaska, they call it the Bush they do in Michigan.You're probably sound like you're in the South.Lot of pine trees in.So anyways
I chose dangler simply because with my belly it lets me sit comfortably 😂
Jesus ... with all the shooting going on in the background I'm going to have to recommend a good kevlar vest and helmet.

yep youtube does that to us its not up to use i would prefer a different way
You know you are watching a UA-cam video from the USA when every 30 seconds you hear gunshots in the background. Geess....

A wood crafter is called a carpenter.. it's bush..
Why do you say okay all the time?You know?I just don't understand kind of annoying
Another back yard advertisement. Never see this guy actually get out and do. Just another Canterbury acting.
So by saying “never see” that implies you watch him a lot?
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 sure. I report them, too; but that's only as good as it is.🤷🏻♂️
