1. Principles of spoon making - Jack,

Is it worth starting a thread on who can teach what? I can teach people how to cover a bottle with a paracord net or make whoopie slings/soft shackles but that's about it

[jackcbr]

Good idea Spandit.

If anyone wanted to do any kind of hand out or fact sheet for anything I can lend my skills to that. Maybe run off a few copies or build a PDF knowledge base. And if you professional guys want to use them for yourselves, or need some doing for other things I'll be more than happy to "give something back" for your help.

7. Bushcrafting with no tools - Swallow
a. Making cutting edges with flint, stones, anything else (there's a book that claims to show how to make a wooden knife).
b. Cooking with no (manufactured/metal) Pot

d. Building a shelter with no cutting tools (or the cutting tools from point a)

I will be seeing Neil over the weekend, I will talk to him about the wish list. So far we can help with all that has been mentioned, I'm sure their are others in the group who have skills to share.

[Hugo]

Very kind and Grand gesture Luke, thanks mate.
I enjoyed the last one with you and Neil, venison stew was very tasty, best I have eaten.

 

[Peter_t]

things i could teach

axes - how to use larger axes, sharpening, fitting handles, splitting rounds and logs, wedges etc.

sawcraft - how to sharpen and maintain bowsaws.

trees - ID, characteristics and uses. could go into biology too if anyone is interested?

passably other things too, feel free to ask but others may be better qualified than me


pete

 

[jackcbr]

Cool Peter theres a few things there I'm interested in.

 

[veryWildbill]

Some very kind offers of tuition there:You_Rock_
I would be interested in all of the above, but what would we do on the second day

 

[jackcbr]

Work out how to hang the parachute properly?

 

[Dark Horse Dave]

I'm very happy to share what I learned on a week's tracking course with Bushcraft Expeditions. I'm making no claim at being an expert, but have got a few interesting techniques to pass on.

 

[jackcbr]

Gosh, I'm really going to have to think what I can teach, I'm sure there's something.

 

[Swallow]

I'm afraid most my of my skill-base sits outside this stuff. But if I think of something I'll add it.

 

[Hugo]

That's easy Jack, AIM HIGH.
