Why Tomahawks are Useless for Bushcraft

More Than an Adventurer: My Tribute to Rüdiger Nehberg

More Than an Adventurer: My Tribute to Rüdiger Nehberg

15. January 2026 Widowulf Comments 0 Comment

In the early 90s, German television was a window into a world of raw, unscripted adventure. For most, the man on the screen was simply “Sir Vival.” But for me, Rüdiger Nehberg was something more. Growing up without a father for much of my childhood, I looked up to him as a guide. In the absence of a father figure at home,…

The Legend and the Leather: A Gift for a Friend

2. January 2026 Widowulf Comments 0 Comment

In the world of knives, few names carry as much weight as the Ka-Bar USMC Fighting Knife. It is a design born of necessity—rugged, simple, and functional. But even a legendary tool feels different when it is carried in something handmade. A while ago, I decided to build a custom carry system for this knife, and I recently gave the finished…

"All good things are wild and free"

The Peltonen M95 Sissipuukko is a legendary Finnish military knife, but how does it hold up when you strip away the hype and take it into the woods for real work? 

In this video, I’m sharing my thoughts on the current production Peltonen M95 and explaining why the uncoated, bare-steel version is my absolute favorite among the modern lineup. We’ll look at a bit of history with a brief look at the rare, original flat-ground version made by Fiskars, before putting the current model through its paces. 

From making breakfast to heavy batoning and detailed carving, we see where this ranger knife shines—and where it falls short. Because despite its rugged reliability, it’s still not quite my ultimate favorite knife. Let's talk about why.

The Sissipuukko M95 Dilemma: Great, But Not My Favorite
In this video, I’m back at the workbench crafting a small, traditional spice container out of a piece of red deer antler, complete with a handmade wooden lid. 

This isn't a flawless, over-edited tutorial. I’m showing you the raw process—including a piece that I completely messed up, because failures are just part of the craft. 

To make things worse, the flies in the workshop were absolutely relentless. It honestly felt like a scene straight out of the Prose Edda, where Loki transforms into a fly to sabotage the blacksmith brothers Sindri and Brokkr while they were forging Thor's hammer. 

Grab a cold drink, slow down, and enjoy the smell of carved antler and wood.

The Opinel is easily one of the most recognizable pocket knives in history. It’s cheap, it’s simple, and it has absolutely no tactical hype attached to it. It’s the Dacia Duster of the knife world.

In this video, I’m slowing down, making some fresh coffee, and having a simple breakfast while looking at why this little French icon divides the knife community so much. 

On one hand, you have an incredibly thin, carbon steel blade that cuts circles around most expensive bushcraft knives when it comes to food prep and fine carving. On the other hand, you have a handle that swells up when wet and a lock that is as low-tech as it gets. 

No gear-snobbery, no sponsored talk. Just a quiet morning, a sharp blade, and an honest review of a tool that costs less than a fast-food meal.

Opinel: Genius Minimalist Tool or Just Cheap Wood?
Pour yourself a drink, light a pipe, and slow down with me. 

Tonight, there is no building, no carving, and no crafting. Instead, I’m raising a horn of Danish mead to all the craftsmen and women out there, and sharing some raw, unfiltered thoughts from the workbench. 

We need to talk about modern consumerism, the toxic pace of our society, and why making things with our own hands is so vital for our minds. I’m opening up about the heavy reality of depression, how we treat each other as human beings, and why finding a place to unplug is matter of survival. 

No filters, no scripts. Just honest talk, pipe smoke, and reflection. Skål.

Skål to the makers. Why we need to slow down and create.
Tonight, I’m clearing the workbench to show you some of my personal, handmade pieces crafted from antler, bronze, stone, and wood. 

Every single piece tells a story of patience, learning, and connection to the old ways. No mass production, no corporate factory lines—just honest craft made with basic tools on the yard. 

Grab a drink, sit back, and enjoy the showcase.

In the next video, we will light the pipe, pour some Danish mead, and have a serious talk about modern consumerism and mental health. Subscribe so you don't miss it.

The modern outdoor scene is obsessed with titanium sporks, plastic water filters, and tactical survival tins. But let’s be honest: can you really call it "living in harmony with nature" if you eat your Sunday morning egg with a metal spoon from a factory? I don't think so.

In this video, I’m taking camp comfort to a historically accurate, completely uncompromised level. No plastic. No modern shortcuts. Just raw materials and traditional handcraft (Slöjd).

What I’m making for the perfect wilderness breakfast:
• The Egg Cup: Carved from a beautiful piece of pear wood. 
• The Spoon: Made from raw cow horn, heat-pressed. Horn is naturally non-reactive and chemical-free – far superior to silver or steel when it comes to the chemistry of a perfect egg yolk.
• The Salt Shaker: Crafted from a piece of deer antler, hollowed out and plugged with a handmade wooden stopper. Moisture-resistant and built to survive a bear attack.

Is it absolutely necessary to spend hours crafting a luxury egg set in the woods? Probably not. Is it better than anything you can buy in an outdoor shop? Absolutely. 

Grab a coffee, watch the fire, and let me know in the comments if your bug-out bag is prepared for a proper Sunday breakfast.

Var ek • Em ek • Verð ek.

Stop Buying Tactical Gear! Making the Ultimate Bushcraft Breakfast Set
The Helle Temagami and Casström Lars Fält are great knives, but they mostly just gather dust on my shelf now. Here is the honest truth why they lost their spot to a simple, traditional Puukko.
