Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc

Using this many wedges is similar to "teamwork." Strength through teamwork and teamwork with strength. Thanks again Lonnie and Connie, I would never have thought about this on my own. Peace be with you.

Well Lonnie, although I’m in the field right now I want to take the time to report that I just successfully split a crazy heavy 7” diameter 6’ log using the method you described. Like yours, my log was part of a much larger piece. So heavy I couldn’t carry it. Mine didn’t have the nice check like yours but there were some faint ones. The wedge information you provided, not too narrow, not too thick, not too steep, letting the wedge do the work and not driving it.... as a result of that info everything worked out great! I split it at the sight and while I had to make two trips to get both pieces... I got both pieces. I have to tell you Lonnie, I’m pretty darn proud of myself. At 63, I didn’t think I’d be doing this stuff but I am and it’s great!! Thank you for your hard work and for making me better.

Hey Lonnie. I love your channel I've been watching for about a year now and I can see you do a really good job with everything that you do it's very telling that you know what's up and have a lot of wisdom in what you say. I was in the army for a few years and learned a lot of these basics but the way you explain things really helps me out. Your videos have inspired me to get up off my ass and get out into the woods again. Thanks man take care.

Not many of today's people would survived if they had to put forth that much effort..lol Just shows these tasks can be done with a little perseverance. Keep teachin'.. I'm still learnin'........

You make it look easy, but I know that it wasn't for you or other bushcrafters from loooong ago! Tough work, tough individuals who made our country strong! Thanks again for the video and all you and your lovely wife do!!!

Hey Lonnie, how you doin? I just finished splitting a 22 inch poplar log using your video as a guide. I started with metal wedges I have then switched to wood wedges I made from some of the limbs . Splitting logs is hard work for us old guys. After I got it split all the way through from end to end it was still held together by some splinters big as 1 X 4's. I tried one slab to a tree and the other to the winch on my Jeep and pulled it apart. After that I realized I had just missed a good chance to use a Bush craft winch like you showed in one of your other videos. Have a great summer while it last.

Nicely done using primitive tools. Always enjoy a challenge and next time I come across a split tree I'll give this a try. Benches are a summer project and would sure like a couple done this way. Even in a survival situation that becomes long term, creature comforts are very important, good stuff to know for sure, thanks Lonnie.

Lonnie I’m a fairly recent convert to the handmade maul and wood wedge versus hatchet and baton. I’ve never considered making wedges that size but sure will now. Telling us that narrowing the bigger wedges “really helped” was very valuable instruction. And as always, thank you for the time and effort it takes to produce, direct, and edit these videos.

Great video! I tried to split an ash log into four with my hatchet and wood wedges , ( but it became three and a half by the time I was finished). I was trying to make arrow shafts out of it, but it was too wavy inside. But I did get a nice longbow stave out of it. And two of the quarters I used for my bushcraft chair.

Nice vid, thanks Lonnie. I split a log some what smaller then that maybe 6" in dia. but it had no crack in it. I began with my boys ax and then with my BK2 knife and then wedges but my wedges were thinner then those you made and broke to easily. I think those wedges would have made my job easier even though it was hard wood. Anyway thanks I did learn something. That's why I watch your vids.

Cool. I made a couple of small Maple wedges (2") some years ago. I use a heavy baton and they come in handy from time to time. If I did more splitting or driving stakes into the ground, I'd make a Maul. I like the looks of a Maul. Thanks!
