Chris Harper from Skills2 Survive tagged me a few months ago on what my 3 favorite bushcraft knives are. Today I tackle that extremely difficult question. With so many high quality blades out there today, that question is almost impossible to nail down to an exact answer. Here are my top 3 with my thoughts on why and a few extras thrown in. Thanks for the tag Chris, it was fun.

Most stock leather sheaths, no matter how high quality, typically come without being formed to the knife. This means that usually after a certain amount of use, these sheaths will become loose. With a loose sheath, you run the risk of the knife falling out. This method of wet forming a leather sheath to a knife takes all of 5 minutes of work and requires only a vacuum sealer of some sort and a simple oven. This easy method will make a leather sheath fit it's knife like a glove.

After a discussion with a friend on ridgelines and their tendency to stretch, I thought I'd post how I minimize this problem.
I cannot take credit for this idea. I learned this from IA Woodsman here on youtube. I highly suggest watching his video for a better vantage point on how this is accomplished.

The LT Wright Next Gen is the baby brother to the Genesis. The Next Gen has some big shoes to fill while living in the shadow of the Genesis and it surely does not disappoint. Aesthetically, functionally, and by feel it performs very much like the Genesis just in a smaller package. The Next Gen is a great all around camp craft, firecraft, and camp cooking knife.

Since reviewing both the LT Wright Knives Genesis and GNS, I have been asked by many folks which is the better knife or would be better suited to them. This video just goes over some of the differences between these two blades so that some may have an easier time making an informed decision.

Week 16 brings us to a very common request; a bonafide birds nest. Things didn't go exactly as I expected but it did turn into a good teaching time with my kids. Thanks for watching gang!

The EooPro Warm Weather bag is perfect for hammock campers. With a temperature range of 55 degrees and above it fits that niche of both underquilt and light blanket. It is waterproof and weather resistant as well as light weight at 1.5lbs. All of it's qualities lend itself very well for hammock camping in particular.
