@salopsniper Nope - that one was filmed somewhere in Newquay, Cornwall, most of my later videos are filmed at different locations throughout Cornwall, UK.

Nice Vid, I bought one of those cheap multitools from Helston Lidi`s a while ago and chucked the tool pretty soon after as it broke. but i kept the sheath thinking it would come in handy. Cornwall forever :)
Use a double lenth of 550 cord on the pouch. Distributes the weight better and gives you a useful amount (about 150cm x 7 inner strands + sheath = 1200cm or 12m) of cordage.
Also: Trade the monofiliment for spyderwire or another braided line. Does not kink the way mono does. I also think that you could get a few extra hooks & small lure in there and a ziplock baggy's worth of tinder. Rather useful on a wet day.
As far as I was concerned there was a very small convex edge on the blade-edge? Im not saying the whole thing is convex, I understand what your saying its ground flat but then there's a real tiny conex edge on the end of it, its not a secondary-bevel, and hence the use of foam & wet&dry to sharpen the small convex-edge right?
Add a button compas, a micro led flashlight, a piece of well folded alluminium foil and a flat whistle, and use a piece of interlaced paracord as necklace (so you have 20 feet of this or more) and it will be the "final kit", for me. I think with those item added, the kit will weight no more of 150, 160 grams.
Opinel are the 'frosts' of the folding knife world in my opinion, a lot of knife for your money :) Great Vids Ash, I carry something similar, with the inclusion of a minimaglite and a whistle. I also carry an EKA folder instead of the opinel (although I've carried opinels since the 70s), as it's a little more substantial. We'll have to do some vids together at sometime mate. Cheers. Justin (rawshak)
They're a brilliant pocket knife and if yours is made of carbon steel and has got the locking mechanism too it'll also be good for using with the Firesteel.
Thanks about the credits, I appreciate it. The little spinet of film I got of the foxes has to be one of my favourite that I've captured, I got lucky when I was out and caught it on my old compact camera. The only frustrating thing was about four days latter I was getting a new compact with a lot higher recording quality, double the resolution etc. I would have loved to have it in my hand then.
Is any of this filmed in the Telford area ?

Good video. I made myself a small fishing kit attached to a small carabiner, lol.
Have you ever used the fishing kit? :)
Cheers.

@broadie96 I have once, but it was never meant to be a frequent-user. Just one of those items you'd have on you if you really needed it.

Absolutely correct.
maxpullara1 2 years ago
@NaturalBushcraft You are correct--he is an opinionated idiot that is, like usual, incorrect. Both the axe and Opinel are convex ground.
wcropp1 1 year ago
Your actually wrong "chrissept21" sorry bro..
They are flat ground and then finished with a convex edge...

Good as far as it goes.
Suggestion: Add a Silva S.E.R.E. compass and a small photon-light type coin torch to the lanyard.

Cheers Justin, I've only had an opinel a couple of years but it has done great. I'd definitely love to hook up and shoot video with you sometime! :)

Great idea keeping those essentials so close to the body. I've heard Opinels are good utility knives, I'll have to get one.
Cybeq 3 years ago
I have an Opinel in my collection. I have never had the chance to used it yet. Got other knives that I take with me when I go out.
I love the closing credits with the fox in the distanc. Then the other two jump into frame.
Perfect piece of music for it aswell.
