How to Use a Knife Outdoors

So I'm just done a quick video of some simple and straight forward nice skills and these are not all the techniques that you can use with you knife but this is generally they want to see you the most of the time. Just get another piece of broken wood and just hit in like that so you're almost using your knife like you're using. You can use the same method on small a bit of wood and call this truncating. Just straight to it like that. The safe method curve is always as and back to your side. This is a good powerful cut not really that you using your all but so much more coming from your shoulder instead of elbows finishing it off. It’s a good powerful cut, you know so you're cutting away from yourself that’s always important you cutting away from your legs and your body always going to make sure that no one else around you nice, a good powerful cuts backward is good powerful like the [Demonstration] Now this cut known is the power cut and you do it across you chest. You have the blade in reverse grip so the cutting edge is pointing toward you knuckles there. When you do it across you chest like that and use the power at of back muscles while pushing your rib cage forward so that your blade has to point away from you as well for safety reasons. That’s a good powerful cut. Once, you got to use to it. Initially it might quite a bit all could we practice it and it will be good. Always watch your hand, watch way your finger are it keep power cutting and make sure that you finger in a way so you can get straight to straighten your finger. You can also use this to some things off light enough and we got a nice size cut as well. We can reinforce it a little bit with your thumb like this so it cutting away from you trimming off. Another cutting method is reinforced cut and uses your thumb like this on the back of the blade and you just use your thumb to push in and keep you that a bit more controls and a bit more pressure. And so that putting in about 60% pressures from my hand and 40% from my thumb. And you can use it to cut in like this and cut in little notches into wood. And pretty what called the stuff get first and then cut up to the stuff cut. Reinforce stuff cut, cut in to the stuff cut. [Demonstration] So you can curve that in front of yourself ways to go for a smaller winkling cuts, less powerful cut. Always make sure my thumb is a guide to keep my hand away from where I'm cutting, so I'm just cutting across is up here to let my hand get to close I can easily go across and skin my knuckles which I don’t want to do, it’s very painful. You just go in simple in front just make sure there's nobody around you, you can call that and hit one of that. It’s a nice spotting in this wood. Looking here that nice patterning there is caused by fugues in the wood and some wood is very much so adopt there this is what I saw it probably wouldn’t be so well. Once it’s done it gets bolted it’s get a bit self distributed for drill with there. You know from all of if you want sat there and just make sure you keep your elbows on your knees that way you avoid bringing the knife. And close contact with the both layers of the body such the inside of the tights you got major arteries in there on the core of the body and of course, your face you just curve in, in front of you. So I want to make some feather stick out of this piece wood. I want to stretch this down the middle. So place my knife about this, another stick and just place it right me. That’s why I need a longer knife blade so you can get all the way through the wood and leave that stick at the end.
