Thanks so much for watching Lonnie! Its really great to get feedback from such an accomplished Bushcrafter as yourself, It really means allot to me! All the Best, BCB
I carry a neck knife but the dangle bothers me sometimes when I'm bending and working. My last video I noticed it dangling in all my gopro footage as laid stones for the cabin. I'll have to give this a try and see how I like it. Thanks for sharing the tip, bud! And I'm with you, the safety sally brigade probably can't name a single "hanging" from neck carry. But it seems so legit, lol.
I think I will give this a try, as I favour the neck knife carry myself. Thanks for the suggestions. By the way, glad to have discovered your channel. Subbed! Cheers, - Martin
Hey my friend! Thanks for watching! Sorry for the delaybin responding but Im holiday and the internet is spotty here. Love ver your channel! Thanks for the kind words! Stay blessed
I tried a neck knife this winter. I found it too tangley, it got in the way. I keep it in my pack and at camp or just sitting down to work some wood I do use it. I can try this method, only way to know is try it. Often with a daily belt knife it will get caught on a chair or seat belt or someone in the city comments, even though we don't have any law against it. Thanks for checking out my clam video. You have some good content here, new sub.
Thanks So much for stopping by, and for the kind words. The views comments and support meant the world to us. Thanks so much for the SUB, I've been a subscriber of your channel for a bit. Allot of good stuff there. See you on the trail my friend
nice vid man thanks. since you've worked in e.m.s would you consider speaking about some common incidents that one should be prepared for and how to prevent and/or control the problem? knife,hatchet,burns,sprains etc...stuff that would be common in the woods. keep up the good work!
Oscar, Thanks so much for watching.. I will be happy to try and incorporate some basic videos on avoiding a treating common camp injuries in the future. thanks for the suggestion, and the great comments. Best Regards, BCB
That is a very interesting way to carry a light knife, like your Mora. Does it interfere with the straps of a backpack; or, do the straps interfere with access to the knife? My guess is “no” because you put the idea out there after a backwoods trip, but I thought I would ask. I neck carry my Mora Classic2 and an Izula2 and have never been in a situation where I feared accidentally being strangled or having the knife puncture my body. I know a guy who has neck carried a knife for almost 2 decades in the wilderness and is still with us. If someone is concerned they could use one of those breakaway plastic clips. But, your “shoulder holster” method addresses the issue effectively and could be used outside heavy clothing in a cold environment. Thank you for this idea.
Richard, It's always so great to hear from you! Thanks so much for watching, your support is greatly appreciated. I have used this carry method with a day pack and a roycroft style pack frame. It does not interfere with pack straps at all in my experience. If your experience varies. Lengthening the cord a few inches will make the knife ride a few inches lower. All the best my friend BCB
BushCraftBums: I may try making your “shoulder holster” style carry from a leather strip or rope, but paracord will probably work best. I did finish my trash can basket using a dry bag I had and riveting an old military belt to the top to carry canteens on the outside. I also riveted some surplus Alice Pack straps between this belt and the container and then to the bottom of the can. Works well, but a little more costly than yours. I plan to try it on an overnight as soon as it warms up a bit - still in the low 30s/high 20s here at night. Not sure this pack will carry food, a heavy sleep system, plus tent. Fire Danger is high so no fires allowed in the forest. I look forward to you next video John.
Those sound like some really functional and rugged additions! I do believe they will serve you well. Please update me with your discoveries as you proceed, I will do the same. Always a pleasure my friend! Best regards!
It seems like everyone thinks a neck knife must be small; I carry all my knives; including my OLD HICKORY around my neck with a bottom tag line attached to my belt. It never swings around I can even jump in the water with it and it doesn’t flop around.
Thanks so much for watching! neck carried allot..sometime still do.. I tend to let the situation dictate my carry options! I really appreciate the support! Stay blessed!
BushCraftBums yes; your right; necessity should dictate where and how you carry anything. Believe it or not; I carry my hatchet around my neck if that’s what I’ll be using as the principle tool. When I’m not using the hatchet I made the carry case with a belt loop. The reason I carry working tools/ blades around my neck is because I don’t lay stuff down to be covered over by a single leaf or it blend in with seasonal foliage. I’ve spent hours looking for knives hatchets etc simply because I laid them down. I attach magnets to the outer facing surface of what ever sheath to hang a blade on; especially if it’s a field dressing or skinning knife. I don’t want blood up inside my sheaths but it’s no problem attaching the blade to a magnet. That’s easy enough to rinse off. Now; only expensive magnets will hold the weight of a hatchet; right? No; a salvaged magnet from certain discarded cellphone have super strong magnets you can not pick off. You might slide it off but you won’t pick it off. So you inlay a magnet into the leather then glue a stopper wedge on the leather so it can’t slide down. It’ll never fall off or peel off accidentally. This method holds all my neck knives in place; including the OLD HICKORY AND MACHETE.
