    Good video. Can’t go wrong with stainless Mora Pro for about $20. File the spine to create 90 degree edge and you have yourself a great quality and lightweight bush craft/backpacking knife. Any ferro rod should work. I took one off of one of those cheap magnesium strikers for backpacking. Entire set up is about $25. Cheers

    Kate, could you PLEASE put the item - river and where you hiked from/to in the description. It makes a MUCH bigger connection with the viewer and lets us know what we are watching. It's gotta help grow the channel much more.

    • @KateGrarock
      @KateGrarock  11 місяців тому +7

      Hey mate I tend not to get specific these days as you never know who you may be sending down a crazy track (eg experience of the person watching) Happy to have conversations via private message. I know this may impact views etc but I think it’s the price I have to live with. I love encouraging people to get outdoors but I’d never want to send the wrong person into an area they don’t have the skills or experience to deal with that location safely. For that reason I only openly name formal trails. Not the off track stuff. Cheers.
