That's a hefty looking puukko, practically up to a leuku -- looks like a nice compromise for carrying only one knife, and looks beautifully made. Like the set-up, which is similar to one I've been working on, though I lean toward another pouch or two rather than having my ferro rod, etc. dangling. Just personal preference on that.
I really like the belt kit. Very nice leather work, which is something I appreciate. It seems a bit too much for my own tastes, but to each their own. I just don't personally llike things dangling. Tends to get caught on brush all the time here. One tip I can offer if you hate your axe handle hitting your leg is to slip it through the back of your belt diagonally. Completely out of the way, and readily at hand. Keep up the great videos!
Of course I love your awesome belt & all the quality gear attached to it. Great little axe but spendy up here in Canada. (almost $200 if you can find one) Beautiful knife & excellent choice of compass. My real question however concerns your Anorak. I'm really digging it & would like to know the manufacturer/brand name, cost (if that isn't too nosey) & where you got it please. Also, is it a shell or is it lined? Thank-you in advance for any info you can offer. Cheers. *Edit: Just found your channel & subscribed.
Cool. Nice to see some people still like leather as much as ballistic nylon or kydex. It's all good. I'd probably carry a bit more, but I like the belt idea. Easy to have at home, in vehicles and to wear in all types of weather. Backpacks are nice and necessary sometimes, but they can get annoying.
+Heathen Bushcraft I've looked into those small folding saws a lot, and I just don't see the appeal of a saw with a 6-8" blade. You can't really get through anything thick with it. I do love to have a saw though, I agree with that. Especially in winter. I usually carry either my 21" or 30" bowsaw with me, depending on how cold it is. The colder it gets, the bigger my axe and saw. Have a good one man!
Very nice gear. I agree with your philosophy of use for all the items that you have. I would suggest that you put one longer bag to carry your survival items. I made a similar belt and I also made a survival bag to go with it. If you care to see it you can check it out on my channel. Thanks for sharing.
Great setup. I have similar one > pukko, kukso, nuttu, compass and saw on the belt for my Suomi Lapland bushcraft. Maybe I will upgrade to axe also. Hope we will meet in the future in winter time on the mushers dog adventure ...;) subbed and liked! Good luck! MS
love the videos - gorgeous gear. But, call me jealous or what, - the price tag on the gear for your belt is borderline glamping. I really ultimately am just super jealous, but the seemingly endless videos of "ruck dumps" that have top of the line Swedish watermarked everything make me literally embarrassed of my setup - one that I've taken pride in spending nearly nothing on. I really love your demeanor, however. It's clear you're well versed in your element and I will continue to watch! cheers from Western MA!
If it keeps time, it's a good watch. Or a better analogy for this situation, if it holds your pants up, it's a good belt. The most expensive item on my belt kit is my knife. It's a Ka-Bar, and it cost sixty dollars. I love knives. I really love beautiful, expensive, custom knives, but for work, for staying alive, I'd rather have a Ka-Bar than any other knife on the planet. Had I been willing to wait a couple of weeks, I could have bought a Ka-Bar in mint condition for thirty dollars. I've seen used Ka-Bars in perfect shape go for as little as twenty dollars on eBay. My belt is very heavy duty leather. It cost a hundred dollars new, but I got this one used, and it cost six dollars, even though it's in perfect shape. There isn't a scratch on it. Check local gun shops. Many of them take duty belts, and even war belts and battle belts, on trade, and can build up so many they can't begin to sell them all. That's what happened to me. The gun shop had a hundred and fifty or so used belts of various kinds, so finally threw them all in a large bin and stuck an eight dollar price tag on them, regardless of type or condition. When they still didn't sell fast enough, they knocked twenty-five percent off everything. The pouches on my belt look like brand new, custom made items. They're really military surplus. Well, they are new because they were never issued, but they cost ten How about a one hundred and thirty dollar tomahawk for thirty dollars? When people get tired of owning something, they often sell it cheap. Especially if they need some quick cash. On and on. The cos doesn't matter. As long as the gear does the job, it's good gear.
James Ritchie . . . i find an enormous amount of perfectly good gear , some even brand new , at thrift stores , yard sales estate sales . i once bought a Stainless Steel Origo 1500 alcohol stove at a thrift store . . . $5 . sold it for $225 . on ebay . many many great deals await you . . . at the thrift store .
Hello Geoff, how are you doing. You did a few vids on the Salkoa survival kits. On one of them you show a set you have, that had a condor belt, a Esee Janglus you survival pouch with the Solkoa kit in it with some other gear. I can't find the vid as I want to make one like that. Can you tell me if it's been removed. Hope you are well. Take care. Craig. 🇮🇲
I know you said the name of your knife, but I must not be spelling the name correctly because I can't find it. Can you tell me the make and model please. It's one of the more beautiful looking blades I've seen in a while.
Hello Jeff, just found your channel and Liked it very much so sub,loved the nordic belt, I have similar set up but have a finish knife/firesteel combo on one sheath and laplander saw in same colour leather sheath, axe wise have a frontier tomahawk which as you say wacks in the back of your legs but I just ajust until it behaves itself, cool pouch ,did you make them? as they fit items perfect, cheers craig

Nice gear. Have you ever used the axe or the knife? It all appears shop shiny.😐
Not a bad set up at all.

Very nicely made video, great to watch ! What kind of a jacket are you wearing in ghis video ? Best wishes from Norway.
Hi thx! The jacket is Fjällräven Anorak #8 and
+Raven Wilderness School where can I get one of those l?
I can see where that would be great for a day trip.
Yes and with a small backpack multi-day
I know you said the name of your knife, but I must not be spelling the name correctly because I can't find it. Can you tell me the make and model please. It's one of the more beautiful looking blades I've seen in a while.
Hello Jeff, just found your channel and Liked it very much so sub,loved the nordic belt, I have similar set up but have a finish knife/firesteel combo on one sheath and laplander saw in same colour leather sheath, axe wise have a frontier tomahawk which as you say wacks in the back of your legs but I just ajust until it behaves itself, cool pouch ,did you make them? as they fit items perfect, cheers craig
Great
Super!
I like it
Nice knife
The set up was perfect simple and practical so all i'm asking is who makes the anorak?
Thx! It's made by Fjällräven anorak no.8
Thanks for replying always means alot
Nice video. But shouldnt you be carrying some sort of water container?
very cool, but does this get in the way of your backpack?
I love the video but what is the jacket you're wearing? And where can I get it?
Great video! Ever carry a small IFAK on there?
AdirondackBadger thx man....I usually do now

Nice belt you got. But what's a dragon steel and that can at the first leather case for ?
Please share with me your belt maker.
But will it hold your revolver your pistol, stay safe out in the bush. Thanks for sharing...
I'm big and thirsty all the time. Your kuksa looks to be much larger and more the size that I need. Are they commercially sold?
It's not really that big, about 8oz I got it from arcticshop.se
Do you wear that with a pack or pack it? How do you like that jacket dude?
Nice, works well with the #8, no? :)
Yes it does... Thx for watching!
