Channel mostly iterates bushcraft skills I do or talk about and my adventures in the woods. I work hard at being very proficient at the bow drill so that is why there are so many of them. Sometimes I talk of different tools I use in the woods or desert as well.
lol; yep...always like the challenge of using the plain wood first. survival situation is different. I am one of the 11 hardwoodsman in the u.s. and to get there(since it was a nation wide thing) couldn't use fatwood, birchbark, etc. to help get a fire going. We had to do them all with the natural wood. That was the challenge of the whole thing. We had to go through a whole bunch of challenges testing your woodsman ship in order to get the designation. If curious go to the bushcraft,usa forum and you can see it all.
@@bushcraftoregon i am 74 have seen most everthing so i carry two bics and a fueled up zippo so i guess what you guys do is a real hobby or you have figured how to make a buck
That is very cool. My first knife i made was a truck leafspring. One of the many things I ran into was how much stock i had to remove. Actually I believe i had 3 attempts before a real knife came out. The best thing about being a diesel mechanic. I had everything i needed to make stuff. I never thought about looking for thin springs. I really love 5160 steel. It makes great knives.
That was awesome. Congratulations. I may be wrong but it has seemed to me that on evergreen wood, the outer wood of the tree perhaps contain more friction-reducing resin than the inner portions of the tree. Either way, you were successful.
