this is a stove i made with spit etc

a small hobo fishing line,the bung in the end of the handle screws off to reveal hooks,weights,also rather than just twisting the hell out of your wrist? you can add the winder to the end and reel in like a conventional reel.

heres a hand chain saw for those bigger pieces,works better with two people but can get you alot of fire wood before it goes dark.

heres one of my best friends when out in the green:this is a axe head (hand forged )that i got from an old barn that i went to ratting,i,asked the farmer for it and he said what DO you want that sh-t for??? so i took it home gave it some loving care and made it a shaft from the old hickory pick axe handle(spoke about it earlier)then put all together and made it a leather holster,when i went back to the barn man he said thats nice have you brought it back for me?you can guess my answer!!!!

a couple of my fire lighters:first ones a ferro rod fixed into an old dog clip,the small inlaid piece of hacksaw blade is the striker the second one is a lee enfield rifle(millitary ww1)brass oil bottle,they used to be set into the end of the rifle but for storage,i have soldered two small lugs on it with a small ferro rod between,inside it is petrol,coleman fuel a small wick and again a piece of blade for a striker,you unscrew the lid and strike the wick end over the ferro which ignites the fuel at the tip.handy when you need a flame.

Dude, you are SUCH a prolific bush artist- what you do goes farrrr beyond either 'just' art or 'just' bushcraft, I WISH you were a midlander! Using the coins.... inspired..... the amount of projects you've designed and brought to being is incredible. I'm really REALLY enjoying seeing it, make sure you watch the posts across the forum because theres so many folk here who will LOVE your input and ideas!

 

[workingdog]

this one is for all the foragers out there:mrs workingdog was complaining when i asked her to pick 1TON of blackberrys for my favorite apple and blackberry crumble(yum)she said Auch my fingers and how am i going to get this purple dye out of my skin? so i came up with this:just put the rope around your neck(not to tight now love)and fill it up with the berry picker.made from wooden kebab scewers,string,and pva glue,bend them over the kettle or a pan of boiling water(be careful)a couple of bits of wood and no more problems,mrs workingdog is shorter than me and says she can now reach higher.(yum more berrys for me).

Stunning stove - I'm really impressed - you could easily sell that!!! It is far superior to most that I've seen

What he said, absolutely amazing innovation! I'd buy both of those if they were widely available!
