nice, I have the same exact knives, BK7 and just got the ESEE 4, where did you get your kydex sheath or was it custom made?

[PittRules55]

@zeroryde chestnut ridge knife shop makes custom sheaths for multiple different knives in two colors, green and black

Great vid.

Survivorman has improved his Shows. I have seen Les Stroud drink water on multiple occasions where he has not treated the water. Very foolish at the best of times. I have also seen Les eat a mushroom in the field, and he was unsure of it's name. NEVER eat mushrooms in a survival situation. They lack nutritive values, and if you eat the wrong one, you're done.

....and maybe, just maybe, he should carry a Bic lighter on his pocket. I realize he's making a show, but people who don't know better

Good vid.I like that nalgene in steel ive never seen that before :)

[LiFetommi]

more important than any of those three from my personal experience is proper clothing. The elements is what kills the quickest in the wild. I've now learnt how to make fire successfully without any spark/flame aid and also have practiced a lot with flint and stone tools to be able to contruct adequate shelter. Thats why i think clothing is more important than other items.

[agun17]

Very good.

I'd add a long burning tinder and some paracord.

[Patriotalliance]

Good choices on your carry items. I carry the same,only my knife choice is a KaBar.

[PittRules55]

@Patriotalliance Well the large knife is a Kabar Becker Bk7

[widgeonslayer]

@Patriotalliance I carried a K-bat for quite awhile. I liked it quite a bit. But I had the blade brake off on me when I was chopping the head off of a duck. On a post mortem we found a design flaw where the tang meets the blade. Given the designs long service and well earned reputation I am guessing the flaw is only in the newer knives. I really did like the design though.

nice knives

shelter is more important than fire or water fyi.

3 hours without shelter

3 days without water

3 weeks without food

[gorzinplatz]

@chushinryoku Yes but with good tools in the right environment you can make shelter. And fire is a hell of a lot better than freezing your ass off.

[chushinryoku]

@gorzinplatz I never said you couldn't I said it was more important than fire or water

[peterf16]

@chushinryoku not true, there are many situations where you can live much longer than 3 hrs without shelter, its just about impossible to live without water for more than 4 days max!

[chushinryoku]

@peterf16 You can die more quickly of hypothermia than thirst. The threes rule is general. And shelter also includes your clothing.

[peterf16]

@chushinryoku Yes but only in certain ambient temperatures, and humidity levels. You do make a good point that most people end of dying of hypo or hyperthermia, however, i'm trying to point out that you can never escape lack of water, unlike with shelter, where u can make it.

[chushinryoku]

@peterf16 that I will certainly agree with. I do know of circumstances, I believe it may be in an episode of survivorman, where there was no water and the guy had to distill his urine

[peterf16]

@chushinryoku yes, hence making water to survive!

[PackRat556]

Nice sheaths on both your knives! Good choice for your 3! I could agree with those no problem!

[PittRules55]

Thanks PackRat I should make a video on my top ten items one of these days.

[icychap]

Somebody's been watching Dave Canterbury... ;-)

[PittRules55]

yep, and hes right these are the three best, i dont think i could think of anything better to take the place of one of these items

[icychap]

Maybe not, but I would never be caught with JUST these three!
