    Hello David. I just ran across your channel a few days ago. I love outdoor life. Hunting, fishing, camping, astronomy, flying model airplanes. I'm 66 years old. I grew up with a gun in my hand and a backpack on my back. Unfortunately when I was 26 years old I got degenerative disc disease and I've lived with it now for 41 years. Twelve years ago I became disabled. It has only gotten worse. I'm not able to go camping or hunting anymore.
    I love watching people like you doing the things I can no longer do. For me it's like I'm doing it with you. People like you keep me in high spirits and gives me a reason to keep on keeping on. So I'll say to you, " Keep On Keeping On " !
    I live in the hills of east tennessee. I've been in other states where the land is flat, but after a few weeks I can't wait to get home back to hills and mountains. I'm only 30 minutes away from Virginia and Kentucky. There's a mountain in Middlesboro Kentucky where you can actually stand on all 3 states, and what a view. Daniel Boone trail is near by. Cumberland Gap is in my back yard. Norris lake is all around me. I wish I was still able to enjoy it.

    Hi Dave! I'm not a big fan of machetes, however, I do own two: (1) UST that came with a small fixed blade and (2) an Ontario SP8. Using a couple of your ideas and some industrial velcro I attached an old military boot knife and a pouch to each of the machete sheaths. In the pouch I put a Bic lighter and a small container of vaseline saturated cotton balls. Each of the boot knives were in OD green ballistic nylon sheaths. A year later now and both kits have held up without any loosening issues. I love watching your videos for ideas.

      If you’re a believer in the big blade mid size combo, it’s really the obvious choice for a heavy duty woods blade. I go back and forth between thinking something like this is ideal, or thinking a mid sized bushcraft knife like the garberg should be combo’d with a bird and trout type knife.
      The reality is that I never chop, and the only thing that I really ever get out of blades over 4-5” long is processing wood bigger than I really have any business processing. It always makes me wonder if I wouldn’t just be better off with a knife that is much handier and then something to do really delicate work like skinning and fish cleaning

    As always, I'm in awe of your creativity and willingness to craft your own solutions. I'll tell you what I like a lot more than the Garberg though: any of the Terava puukkos. They are GREAT knives -- which also happen to be cheaper than the Garberg. To me they're like a Mora Bushcraft with "soul." You have to have one in your hand to appreciate just how nice they are. I have all the Teravas -- both Skramas (yours is a "200." They also make a "240," which, in addition to 40mm more of blade, has a handle that's nearly twice as long as the 200); and I have all three of the puukkos: 85, 110, and 140. Couldn't be happier with them -- I'd pay twice what they ask for them. Sheaths are awesome, too. You're a real inspiration, Dave. Thanks for your videos.

      @@Reallybigmonkey1 I completly forgot to ask you my question. Would you recommand that skrama machette to make a single whole arround machette system of yours (wich i feel very clever by the way)? Maybe paired with a mini puuko of theirs?
      What would be your thoughts on that subject if you were doing a first combo for a first boyscout camp?
      Thank for the response of my first message. I meant every word of it. Sometimes i say a "AAAaaAA" I guess as a small barbarian yop or as my cliché native indian tells me.. I say that to my friends when I feel that spirit makes it shared without wording. When that feeling bild up in a group of people that's the one feeling I prefer in the world. Makes me feel belonging in the group and still myself at the same time. Makes me feel the Moment is shared before the individuality, yet it make the bound of intelligence and kindness respectfull of the moment and the inner part of each..
      Each time you make a mistake on camera, I feel that moment.. No shame usfull for living the moment.. Living and learning is a all time life.. You see, you inspire me what's some poetry to me.. You spread it deep mate.. Really cheers..

    That dual grind on the Skarma is an idea the winner of "Alone" season 3 (I think) uses. He puts a scandi grind on the blade of his machetes down near the handle and a convex grind on the rest of the blade for chopping.

    I think you must be the only one who teaches a different side of bushcraft with your sewing and making equipment which is unique to you. It's an inspiring side too! Always as riviting as any of your outdoor videos. Not to mention seeing that wonderful collection of knives you have. I dread to think what would happen in Britain if the police new someone had a collection like that! Probably lock us away for 50 years. 😢. A great video as always and looking forward to the next installment of, what did you rename it? Oh yes,... The Frankenstein Tent... Many thanks again for all your efforts on our behaves 👍

    The Garberg with the molly mount will strap to the newer SP53 sheath that has the molly strap system on the back with no sewing, just using the included velcro straps. The Garberg molly mount can even let you carry the extra belt loop ring in case you want the Mora knife but not the S53/molly mount. I wish Mora would just make a version of the plastic ring that had both the belt loop and the snap loop also!

    • @Reallybigmonkey1
      @Reallybigmonkey1  Před 3 lety

      Yep, Ive seen the newer version of the SP53 sheath and it doesnt have the pocket like the old one. That is odd on the Garberg that you have to choose between the belt loop and the loop for securing the blade in the pouch.

    You should strap a Terävä Jääkäripuukko to the Terävä Skrama, then you'd be all finnish'ed!
    I love your outdoors and gear videos and have been following you for a couple years.
    Your machinist background makes a huge difference. I had never thought of using rubberized abrasives to sharpen recurve blades before your sharpening tips on machetes.
    I got the SP53 Bolo from watching your machete video. There's a Mora Robust carbon paracorded to it.
    I've got a Jääkäripuukko 140, but haven't got a Skrama yet. I'll probably get a 240.

    • @Reallybigmonkey1

      You didn't even groan at my horrible pun! Oh well.
      I like your non-fancy and often inexpensive solutions. I've also been camping alone some due to a recent shortage of camping buddies, so your suggestion of the heavy machete instead of a hatchet to reduce the risk of deflection injuries is especially useful.
      You often make or modify gear, and I do too, so it's always fun to get some new ideas.
