It is a kind of awkward duplicate name, isn't it ?
Especially since you've been a member for over five years.

Enjoyed the first two mate, will watch the rest later.
Keep 'em coming
Like your fire starting vids. They remind me all to well of some of my own attempts, nice change from the fire by friction vids where the fire starts after two strokes from the bow. When you struggle to start a fire with a pack of matches and a can of lighter fluid that's real fun :-(
In passing, and I know this is probably heresy, and a rather 'extreme' measure to take in that it chews up the firesteel and probably doesn't help the blade much, I found that using the blade edge produces better sparks than the back.
If you want some real fun with fire starting, get yourself a set of John's Fenna's Dragon's Breath!
Firebringer by name, certainly not by nature ;-)

I think you need to mabey have a rough script, not just the topic to cover but roughly what your going to say too, then practice, also I quite enjoyed your approch to the kit, it's true enough things don't work first time, but if your presenting an instructional video, i think a bit more thought into the selection of materials used, Your camera work might flow better if you use single shots then edit them together, if you take the bit where you explain how to chop by holding the axe against the wood, instead of zooming out with the remote, try to get to a point,cut, close shot,cut, wide shot.plan these into your script.work on your to camera confidence, your talking to me the viewer so look me in the eyes if you get what i mean. good stuff though.

thanks again guys
I liked the struggle with fire vids, and I suppose they could have been edited to shorten it up a bit. But, I like the uncut stuff that shows the failures along with the success. Good stuff!
I agree. "Pignut bushcraft" will get shortened to "Pignut" which will cause even more problems!
can I suggest what we're all thinking but not saying...a name change?

i would change the name but that is the name of the company i'm in the process of staring up so sorry
Firstly, welcome to the site 
Maybe on here it would be an idea if you changed it for ease of us being able to recognise who were talking with on the forums, Pignut has been around a long time and it really would get confusing. Drop me a PM with an alternative you'd like and I'll change your username
Also i note that you're looking at this from a commercial aspect so please make sure you're familiar with the rules and regs.
good luck with it all
