My name is Tom and this is my channel “Fandabi Dozi” (check out my "Who, What, Why" video for an explanation) I make videos about wilderness living skills (Bushcraft, survival), nature, martial arts, philosophy, crafts and my adventures in general.
My main objective with the channel is to use wilderness-living skills and martial arts to re-connect people with nature, land and heritage, in order to ground ourselves in the foundations of human resilience.

The Canaries used to be connected to mainland Africa until the end of the last ice age and rise of the sea level separated the land into an archipelago
Loved your approach. My bo is a little longer and heavier, 6 foot (but I'm 6'4"), and about 1kg, made of tropical hardwood.It's a fearsome weapon, as bruises everywhere attest during my practice. Brilliant for upper body strength. Your demonstration of different styles is excellent, and I admire your philosophy. Thanks for sharing.
Just found your channel. I'm an American, but my surname, Craig, is Scottish. I imagine my ancestors living this way. I was going to suggest that maybe drovers used cattle dung for fires, possibly from cattle that had been through the area a few weeks before, giving it time to dry. Thanks for sharing.
Why the Celtic design? You are a Scot, and a descendant most likely of an Anglo-Saxon. That's why they speak English in Scotland. The Celts were pushed into the farthest reaches of Scotland. Scotland is NOT a Celtic nation, apart from the Stuart family who were from Brittany. Is that why you have a Celtic design, to honor the legacy of your King, the Stuart heir, Charles? Scotland is an invention of Victorian Englishmen. The kilt and everything. Or did I perhaps get it wrong and you are Irish?
At 15:03 the rules are explained. -30s survival -defeat 5/7 (1 hit for the attackers) -flee starting position is defender in the middle, 7 attackers around him (or blocking the path to the exit) the number of hits on the defender and their location is judged after the match to determine the final score (let's say arms and legs=1 point, chest=3 points and head=5 points) the lowest score wins(aiming under 5 obviously)
Hi... Wad it you I met on Saturday coming off Maoile Lunndaidh , strolling through the clag in your bare feet 😳👍😂.... Thought it was a ghost from 16th century 😂
Been carving a staff out of Blue Beech, aka, Musclewood. I might finish it tomorrow, except it's green and heavy AF, needs to dry. I cut it long, and I rubbed some mineral oil on it especially the ends. I'll Constrictor knot it also.
Very interesting video. Have you ever tried making a great kilt from a length of modern fleece. It would be interesting to see how an old garment would work when made from a modern material.
just use a piece of coppersheeting and tinker it round on the staff itself. Suitable sheets can be found anywere, where heat is or was involved: Old Ovens, Microwaves,Old PC Proceccor-cooling. cut out a 3-5 Inch Squar and start working with a smal hammer till it fits all around the tip of the staff. Then you take a few halve inch screws or smething and fixate the cap. The ends you can trimm with a Flex or a metal saw. As a kid I used to use old screwcaps, they work nixe as well. Force screw them to the end and fixate them with some Treesap or resin.
So, all in all, would you still recommend carrying a lightweight hammock to use in conjunction regardless? They add almost no weight, so I might just stay that path anyway.
