well, I dont yet have the flint and steel skill. I would say I have the haphazard awkwardness of a real greeny. I lit one more and it took me many wacks with the steel. It does look like something I would like to practice a bit more and with a decent steel too. I have deffinately got...

I have made fires with bow drills most of my life. Other that using optics that is aobut the only non 'match' way I had ever tried. I used matches or a cig lighter most of the time and a bow drill if I was going primitive or with boy scouts. I saw the fire piston online near the begining of...

i think it works best when you dont want it to. Be careless for a while and you can burn the house down.... There may be some easy, controled way to do it, but I can think of easier modern ways to make fires and also of primitive ways which are plenty of fun and quite reliable.

In our woodshop, we are carefull to hang out our stain rags and dry them before discarding them. I have seen rags sponeously combust, more than once, from people being careless with rags used to finish furniture.

thanks...dont know what the issue was..now both links work..

the links are not working for me..

here is a nice tutorial on splicing billets

yep, or at least a warning message for something. The body is a lot smarter than all of us. It wouldn't hurt to have it looked at by a competent health care provider, be it chiropractic or allopathic. It is also very possible that you can figure out what causes it, since it doesn't...

I won’t be involved in any contention on the matter, but it might be worthwhile to read the last 3 or 4 paragraphs of the article and the multitude of other studies that have been done on the topic. All too often the findings of research are unfortunately dictated by the funding agency or the...

we tan our own. My wife learned when she was a kid. I learned just a spell before meeting her. (kinda strange that I learned from somebody that my wife's family taught, before I ever met her)

Thougt I would post some pics of some beaded brain tanned thing my wife made. pipebag pouch baby moccosins

Nice looking bow.. I bet she shoots well. aaron

I understand the dread. I have a couple osage staves drying right now. I want to start them, but yet want to do a couple more board bows first....(until I find another local rancher to let me cut some more osage) but then,,,I want to start them..... I'm saving for the TBB now. I think by...

good job! Nice pics.. could you compare/contrast the experiences making the two diff types of bows? How about the differences in shooting them? aaron

Thanks I have shot it a few times but only at home so only about 15 meters. Draws smoothly and flings the arrow pretty well. I dont have a chrony so dont know how fast but it hits hard. No noticable handshock. I hope to get out Friday after school to shoot some more and at various...

You know, I have always spent time in the hills hunting, fishing, camping, etc. However, I have been stuck in the city and in a place in life keeping in the city for a few years now. I made the mistake of looking at some knapped stone, online, a couple weeks ago..... ...... .... a see a...

I would recommend going to a chiropractor...I am biased though as I am half way through my studies to become one. Chiropractors deal with many problems similar to yours, on a daily basis. Most Chiropractors either have x-ray can refer you to one. Even before x-rays, the DC should be able to...

this seems to be more a question of tradition and geography than of the right and wrong way. We clean all the birds Iwe shoot, as soon as possible, quail, partridge, pheasant, water fowl... ... ...

I just had to jump in here and comment: All you bushcrafters, in the UK, seem to be a determined lot. I would never have imagined what you go through to go out and practice you bushcrafting skills. Here, I would never of thought twice about tying an axe to my backpack nor a bowie knife...

here are pictures of a rope maker that we built to make larger ropes. We made one about 4 cm diameter and 8 meters long.
