Tschum 2P SOSWA (made in Germany by a small family company) https://tschum.de/en/Tschum-2P-SOSWA.html 2. What did you use for lighting the fires? Usnea ("old mans beard") and fatwood (dead pine saturated with resin) ignited with a ferro rod. 3. What type of axe are you using? Weight? Dimensions? Karelian axe. Homemade - C45 steel and ash handle. 900 grams (including the handle), 8cm cutting edge, 60cm handle, 16.5cm from pole to cutting edge. 4. What type of knife are you using? A classic nordic knife, offen referred to by the finnish name "Puukko". Homemade - spring steel and birch burl handle. Here is how I made it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKF7oDsugYc&t=713s 5. What type of fish did you catch? Perch. 6. What animal was the dung from? Moose. 7. Why do you sometimes hit with the side of the axe instead of the poll? Keeps the cutting edge away from you're face and the larger surface area makes you less likely to miss. I usually only use the side of the axe in the beginning (when things can be unstable and or I don't need to hit hard). 8. What is you're kuksa/drinking cop made from? Birch burl. Homemade. 9. What is you're bowl made from? Birch. Homemade. 10. Can I buy an axe, knife etc. from you? No. 11. Who made the cooking pot? It is a modified 2L Pathfinder Bushpot. Only the handle is homemade. 12. Was it a duck nest on the ground? Yes. I almost stepped on the nest while hiking. It's well camouflaged amount all the blueberry plants. The mother flew away but came back soon after. 13. Where are you? How did you get there? I am somewhere in Sweden traveling on a Bullitt cargo bike and wild camping. Just getting started - About 7 weeks so far. 14. What if I want to do the same but it is illegal on public land in my country? Ask land owner for permission, buy land or travel to another country. 15. What do you do to avoid ticks and mosquitoes? Ticks don't like me and I do nothing to avoid them. Mosquitoes like me but wind, campfire and clothes (long pants and hoodie) helps a lot. 16. How do you store the fishing rod while traveling? In a hard plastic pipe. My fishing rod are made for traveling - it comes apart in 4 short sections so it easily can hit inside my backpack. 17. What if I have a question that is not included in this video description? Consider leaving a comment - I read all comments made within the first few days of a new uploade. _________________ Some of the gear used in the video: Tent = Tschum Sowana 2P Cuting tools = homemade Boots = Lundhags Forest Pants = Klättermusen Gere 02 Sweater = handmade by local (not selling) Wool shirt = Aclima Granddad Backpack = Eberlestock Mainframe f1 Backpack sack = old Tentipi tent sack.
