Chris Caine?

[Smudge]

Does anyone know what happened to Chris Caine?

I was going through my yt subs and noticed he hadn't been about for a few years.

 

[JonathanD]

No idea. I was asking someone at Truways this just a week or so ago.

 

[Broch]

I last saw him about five years ago at an outdoors show. After leaving Trueways he set up another survival training company - not sure if he's still doing it.

 

[CLEM]

He moved over to the US for a while and had something going on with Dave Canterbury, a US company were manufacturing his knives also at that time. That’s the last I heard of him.

Interesting ..... I have a couple of his knives and when I tried to find a cost I came to a dead end ... That explains why

Seems to have disappeared all together

Who/what is he or was? Never seen this name before.

He made good knives. I met him at the Wilderness Gathering once years ago.

A complex character

He spent years living rough in the Scottish wilds providing a 'guide' service. He worked with Lofty Wiseman to set up what became Trueways (a course provider) but had issues with new management, set up another group, designed and marketed his 'survival' knives, then, to all intents and purposes, has disappeared.
