I think this is a very solid choice for a large camp knife. It does lose some chopping power from the shorter blade, the regular Junglas is more powerful, but it’s not as if the Junglas II is fatiguing. Basically it’s got enough power on the chop to build shelters, while being less fatiguing in the hand for finer work. This could be a really solid choice.
Another great video! I'm getting one. Keep the channel going. You are helping people make informed decisions and teaching valuable skills in the process.
Hey, just noticed on your video, a couple times, but particularly at 15:03 the knife not aligning with those tkc scales. I think you may have them backwards. I have several tkc scales too and they should not fit like that. Check them out.
Ever tried a Becker BK9 before,it's also a lively blade in hand. A great chopper,very nice to whittle with. Great selfdefence/combat blade and a superb handle.
Yes, I have older videos using a BK 9. It is an awesome knife. Just fell in love with the Junglas2. Kind of like comparing a Chevy and Ford 4x4. Both will get you in the Woods and get the job done, but you will still end up liking one better than the other, LOL! Thanks for watching!
@@ochocobushcraft1742 that is true,i have them all😁too. Only had the Junglas ll for a couple of weeks,but loved it right away. Was just wondering if you ever tried it. Regarding the selfdefence subject,i think the bk9 is the winner.
I am about to do a video shootout between the Junglas 2, Becker BK9, and Architect 8. Please watch for this. It's going to be close between the Esee and Becker.
Kewl vid. G10, Strong, indestructable. What have they done to give traction on the handles? I have G19 I made for my Beckers, but rather slick if my hands are dry. Any chance you may come up to Wa for the overland rally in June? It's in plain, right next to Leavenworth. I am teaching a knife, axe and fire starting class there. Hope to see you there. Maybe you can do a step in on my class!
A lot of the G10 handles I have bought are a little slick, These are well textured. As far as June, I really can't say for sure at this point. Have to see how crazy things get with this corona virus. Thank You for the invite Do you have an email I could reach you at?
@@ochocobushcraft1742 rp12ga@yahoo.com. I bet you guess what that stands for! I have been watching your vids a while and like the way you do them. Very real world presentation. Are you acquainted with Coyote works, Casey down there?
I contacted painted hills leather because I really like your sheath. A lady named Melanie returned my email very quickly. Seem like they will be very good to work with. A question i have for you is, will the pocket on the front of your sheath hold an altoids style tin? It looks plenty long, but I'm not sure about the width. Thanks!
Melanie is great. George, her dad makes the sheaths. My pocket is not wide enough for an Altoids tin, but george could size one for you. Might be wider than the sheath though.
For me, Bushcraft is the mastering of both traditional and primitive wilderness skills so i can thrive in the woods and be close to nature. For example, most people would never wander into the forest when they know a winter storm is coming. I get excited and go out build a lean to, a nice fire, sit back and drink hot cocoa and watch the storm! As far as getting started, watch you tube videos on bushcraft and practice what you see. I learned my knots from you tube and many other skills. The best way of all is to get some training with others who are experienced. See if their are any schools in your state. Where do you live?
do you have any contact info for that leather place? I have the same knife and would like to order a sheath for it. I am in the valley but i could run over if they dont ship.
