Greencraft..i Hear YOU 🌲🌱on all the cool Hand Carved camping gear. 😍ALOT to be said for Quality Handmade tools.Long lasting. Practical. Simple. And They WORK.
New sub here and after bouncing through videos of yours, I have gone back and started watching the "basic" ones such as this . I had originally skipped over many because they covered things I already do, but I have found that there are little gems tucked away in almost all of them that I have not thought about before. In this case, it was splitting a finished tent peg in order to double the number without doubling the effort, tool wear, weight, etc. It got me thinking of other applications and tricks to try the technique on, and that sort of 💡inspiration is what I appreciate in these tutorial videos. Thank you, and cheers! 👍🇨🇦
travelstick i use to avoid snakes also, on my guess groundanimals can more easy detect my direction if i the stick hits continues the ground because on abroad my foots give less shockimpact and with different energy than with a walkingstick, i have no proof, only my guess and still not get bit, thanks to god... i enjoy your kind of video, may god bless you
A lot of people comment on that when they see them Steve. They also marvel at how robust they are if made from dogwood and how lightweight. Thanks as always for your comments Steve.
Nice. The green dogwood looks a bit like Hazel. And i wonder if we have dogwood in the Netherlands. I have newer spotted one. But then again i newer looked for dogwood. Greetings,, Kitty.
treeefrogUK thanks for the feedback. I am in the woods a lot, plus I am teaching these subjects regularly (you should always practice what you preach). Above all I like to be safe and I hate flooding kit.
Never seen that tip before, about splitting the tent peg..great idea. Have used a toggle rope for quite a while handy for all sorts, strong enough to help you climb a tree if you so wish.
Thanks Martin, it seemed obvious at the time. I find the toggle rope a very useful item, I can gather & carry big bundles of firewood with it, make tripods and a whole host of other stuff too.
Started using toggles on my guylines ever since watching your video about setting up the tarp, it is bynfar the most versatile way of putting it up. Glad you keep making video's 👍🏻
Thanks Rude. Give the pegs a try too, they work well and are better than some horrible plastic version in use. The feedback is great, thank you for taking the time to post. Atb. Neil
Greencraft I used wooden pegs before and still do when setting up stuff for group-purposes, but I have Hilleberg-pegs that work very good in soil and hard surfaces for my individual setup.
If you would like some Stuart, I would be more than happy to send you some? I'm glad you are enjoying the channel and finding some of my stuff useful. One of these days I may get over to the Gathering again - it would be good to catch up with so many old friends I've not seen in a few years.
Another great video mate . I loved your journeying stick , it be nice for you to do a tutorial on how to carve one like yours please , you forgot to mention that the journeying stick can also be used for self defense against chavs in the wild lol .
I like your videos.. very thoughtul and useful ideas. I think your methods, as well as those of Vanessa from Wild Woman Bushcraft would complement each other. She tends to kind of take you on the trip with her. I think its important for people to be able to see methods put in place while they are out and about..
bad hat the type we have in the UK (sanguinea) is classified as a shrub here. That said there are different types of the same family growing in the USA.
@@greencraft4783 wow thankies for excellent interesting content but what's the great knife your using I uses a bear ghrylls ultimate survival knife great tool from Gerber and mines like a razor 💕👌💪🐺🐾
@@greencraft4783 thanks, wouldn't know where to source dogwood locally whereas hazel is in abundance. And I can certainly remake. Will be a good camp time passer. For solo camps.
