Take Your Bushcraft Up a NOTCH! Portable Work Benches & Field Vises Explained This is why I love his stuff. If you can do this, it means you can do that. Tech or skill tree thinking.

The British army knife was our favourite when you could get them for next to nothing. I went all the way from cubs to leader. Queen's Scout was before my time, however, I knew one and once a year he got an invite to a palace garden party. Girls were always in Scouts as they organised...

Check out Rough Riders at Hennie Haynes. Their canoes are my everyday carry at the moment.

I knew about that site, however, for some odd reason did not look at a lot of his videos. I wonder about taking something the size of a 2 mag pouch rather than the water bottle pouch I think Lofty uses. With things like a Trangia mess tin or similar could be interesting.

I learnt a long time ago that if it works for you, do it. My Scout Master was a master at the slow build fire which he tried to teach me and basically failed. Another Scout Master showed me his pre-build technique which works for me every time. I am also adding one of those match super lighters...

A friend has a GSI Outdoors Ultralight Java Drip, which I am going to replace my Vietnamese Coffee Filter and mug with built in filter. It really impressed me with how simple it was. The big problem with all of the filter systems is the clean up. Coffee bags are great and the brew bags as well...

These seem to be becoming a thing in the hiking world, and I get the idea because a lot of stuff that I carry for in-the-moment use never gets used as it is in the top pocket of my rucksack. Binoculars are a prime example.

You must be able to do some version of the SAS full kit with more modern stuff. The 2oz tobacco tin does take some beating and has for 100 plus years. There are all sorts of mess tins even titanium about now. I would not add tinder to my survival kit and rather have trick candles which I give...

The Germanic tribes are the ancestors of the Vikings.

You have to watch AI it makes stuff up. It seems a bit weird that the Celts were fans and not Germanic tribes when the Vikings loved them. The salt mines thing adds another messy, bad place for leather and an easier-to-clean answer.

There is a video on Youtube of Mors discussing knives, and he used folders for years. If anything, the reason for him changing knives seems to relate more to price than anything else. Check out Felix Immler's videos he can do anything with a sak.

The US 2nd Amendment is because of the carry laws in the UK. The first was in the early 1600s, I think.
